  • Episode 43. Velocity and Time: Einstein is motivated to perfect the central ideas of physics, resulting in a new understanding of the meaning of space and time.
    “The Mechanical Universe,” is a critically-acclaimed series of 52 thirty-minute videos covering the basic topics of an introductory university physics course.
    Each program in the series opens and closes with Caltech Professor David Goodstein providing philosophical, historical and often humorous insight into the subject at hand while lecturing to his freshman physics class. The series contains hundreds of computer animation segments, created by Dr. James F. Blinn, as the primary tool of instruction. Dynamic location footage and historical re-creations are also used to stress the fact that science is a human endeavor.
    The series was originally produced as a broadcast telecourse in 1985 by Caltech and Intelecom, Inc. with program funding from the Annenberg/CPB Project.
    The online version of the series is sponsored by the Information Science and Technology initiative at Caltech. ist.caltech.edu

    About the part at the beginning of the video, different explanations for when the magnet is moving and when the coil is moving, the scientists in the those days didn't realize the third possibility, that they were both moving toward each other at equal velocities. I wonder what their explanation would have been for that.

      Energy would increase by some factor, like the combined movement. Both moving objects would increase in mass in relationship to the observer. Same results.

    The simple way I visualize time dilation is for the traveler to drop a ball. The traveler's clock would measure the ball going straight down. The observer would see the path of the ball moving down and sideways, thus having a hypotenuse and a longer time. Thought experiments work better for me than trying to understand the math. I think nuclear clocks have orbited earth and returned to be compared to earth clocks to prove time dilation. Each clock in different motion.

      They weren't 'nuclear' clocks, IIRC they were Hewlett Packard 5060A atomic clocks which are based on cesium. They flew them around the world in aircraft in the 50's to confirm Einstein's theory. A more contemporary example is the atomic clocks in GPS satellites which have to be corrected to account for the relativistic effects due to both their high rate of speed which makes them tick slower, and also the weaker gravity they experience due to their height above the earth which makes them tick faster. I believe the gravity affects them more than the speed, but I don't remember for certain.

    • @aliengrey1708
      @aliengrey1708 Год назад

      Only problem with your idea is that objects hit the ground at the same time whether dropped straight down or launched straight sideways. That's been an established fact since the time of Galileo and a good reason to realize that Einstein's moving light clock thought experiment is dead wrong. That and the fact that photons can't be pushed sideways so there's no way they could possibly take a diagonal path. The whole thing is complete fantasy.

    Superspin Superposition-point location at the Centre of Logarithmic Time is the Observable constant creation Communication In-form-ation mechanism as in Bose-Einsteinian Quantum-fields. As any bo-zo can see, once it's pointed out in 3D-T picture-plane containment states of pure-math Perspective.
    From this example, you can at least re-imagine the orthogonality of 1-0-infinity dimensionality Entanglement, (not a flash-fractal recognition example maybe).
    In the theory of superimposed Resonance Singularity-point Fusion-Fission Function Re-cognition of Relativity, there's a very big problem with the impossibility of actual cause-effect pulse-evolution remaining connected in any other fashion than ER=EPR Sublimation-Tunnelling Entanglement, ie the clocks are synchronised to "It's always NOW", the Universal Aether of nodal-vibrational points of nothing floating in No-thing. The Thought Experimentalist's Practical Observation of the pulse-evolution sees the flash-fractal sense-in-common experience of superimposed harmonic frequency-amplitudes aligned with Absolute Zero-infinity reference-framing containment positioning get turned insideout by some sort of reciprocation-recirculation frequency inversion. (I dunno how!)

  • @davidwilkie9551

    If, as anyone with enough patience can observe, we can imagine how the mono-dualistic Singularity-point positioning of AM-FM relative-timing holography resonance affects our perceptions of continuous conscious awareness at those precise frequencies at the 2-ness picture-plane we think makes the temporal superposition substantiation a real-time Actuality, then the logic of QM-Time e-Pi-i functional driver(s) of superimposed frequency-amplitudes aligned in Electron-photon-phonon-Proton oscillation holography, will behave exactly, with Mathematical Accuracy, as demonstrated, but it is simply WYSIWYG half-truth about the composition of Singularity-point positioning Conception Actuality.

    The twins should age the same if there is no preferred frame of reference, shouldn't they?
    We can simply change the frame of reference and say that the spaceship was stationary and planet earth distanced from it in high speeds and then turned around and got back, can't we?
    EDIT! I found my answer, it's funny how easy are these things to forget, the reasoning behind it is that the twin situations is not symmetrical, the one in the spaceship changed direction but the one on earth never experienced such thing

    • @powerdriller4124
      @powerdriller4124 2 года назад +1

      Continuos change of frame reference. One twin experienced acceleration, the other didn´t. The one on the spaceship experienced acceleration on take off, deceleration-acceleration on the return curve, and then deceleration again when about landing.

    • @albertomontecarlo6231
      @albertomontecarlo6231 6 месяцев назад

      it does not have nothing to do that the twin on the spaceship changes direction and the other not.. the explanation as explained it’s that if you see your twin who is leaving on a ship you see the ship ONLY! Contracted,,, now from your point of you you don’t just see your twin contracted but the entire space is moving compared to you and then the entire space is contracted…the lenght contraction of the spaceship doesn’t change anything. The spaceship still have a long journey, but the guy inside the spaceship doesnt have to go that far because the whole space is contracted…so with the same clock it seems logical that the guy on the space ship. Experience less time because the event to leave,,,arrive somewhere and come back takes less time again since space is contracted…this is the explanation..forget the rest..

    At 6:30, in Henry's reference frame, why is the light circle staying still, like Henry's train does? Shouldn't the light move to the left away from Henry, along with everything else (Albert, green ground, etc.)?

    • @anonymousyomama4869
      @anonymousyomama4869 3 года назад +3

      The light sphere in Henry's frame of reference originates from the center of his train and from that point it expands in ALL directions with velocity equal to c. To Henry it looks like the world is moving backwards relative to his still train but light speed is the same in all directions and in all frames of reference, hence is moves backwards and forwards at the same rate. That's why the light circle always looks still

    If rays from the sun are parallel, then eclipses do not cause two shadow types. (umbra, penumbra)
    If rays do come in at all angles, then the Eratosthenes test and the belief that we can test the earth rotundity in the same way are out!
    Only one of the above can be true and whichever stays means the other “fact” must go...
    So think about it which one must go?

      rays from sun are **almost** parallel! They are of-course, still angled, but the angle is soo small for all intents and purposes you can just say they are parallel.
      Not sure how it was related to this video tho!

      In a distance of a few meters surrounding the observer the sun rays seem parallel. But if the observer is, as was Eratosthenes, on Alexandria and other observer (the helper) is on Thebes , 800 kmts south, then the rays show the noticeable angle that allowed the Greek man to estimate the Earth Radius.

    I know all the popular science sources claim that the travelling twin will be younger.

      The experiment actually has been done with twins and very precise Cesium atomic clocks, at a speed much much much slower than the speed of light, at only 1000 kmts/hr on an airplane for several hours. On returning the travelling twin was 0.000 000 273 seconds younger. There were other relativistic effects besides airplane speed (reduced gravity at high altitude, and movement against the earth rotation).

    For the travelling twin, his earthbound twin experiences time compression, the opposite of time dilation. But the motherfuckers didn't explain that part.
