      The dilation of time is both a non-relativistic and a relativistic effect.
      This is clear from the example I showed in class, before they kicked Special Relativity out of the program.
      What is interesting is that the same thought experiment can be used to show that the Gemini Paradox is an incorrect claim.
      Plenty of space could be used in books without inserting that paradox.

    People forget that Einstein worked in the patent office that dealt with clocks, time pieces, time devices. he studied the drawings, the intricate gears, springs, that make up the devices that measure time. Mesh that daily work with his commendable knowledge of mathematics and physics and it's interesting to surmise that his daily work in the patent office ignited his ideas about time, space, and relativity and ultimately the thought experiments that resulted in the special relativity and general relativity theories.

      The theory of everything according to humans that believe their intellect evolved from a monkey's brain. If the light waves from the sun were 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of Einstein's space-time then people on Earth are just imagining the infrared warmth of the sun coming up on the horizon. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-)
      The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. A mirror is a wave reflector that flips the image from left to right, it doesn't transport your face into past and future dimensions of space-time. Einstein's projectile light particle photons do not have the ability to reconverge molecular structures of particles in mirrors Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-)
      Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions. Monkey see monkey do, the science of monkeys have brainwashed you.
      Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-).
      The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories.
      Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-).
      It's truly amazing how the science and politics of the left are able to keep people denying reality, there are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end.
      "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" Revelation 22:13. Disciples, remember thy 1st commandment, thou shalt not question thy lawgiver of relativity for blasphemers are the devil's pawn. Let thee not dwell in dissension of our Lord Albert, shun them, drive them back to their jungle lair amen. Albert Einstein, an autistic violinist patent clerk that had access to more papers than Suzanne Somers litter box yet creates theories with more bugs than Terminix- Magnetron
      Refusing to question or debate science is typical of brainwashed Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs as anti-science religous dissenters. When cults are faced with having to question their beliefs, mind control brainwashing tactics are their only refuge to avoid cognitive dissonance-the psychological pain of realizing everything they've ever believed in was a lie. Instead of questioning their beliefs zealots will use ad hominem attacks, character assassinations, demonizing their adversaries as stupid, anti-science enemies, racists, Nazis, white supremacists, deplorables, fighting imaginary demons they believe they are evildoers out to destroy the world, a self-fulfilling prophecy battling the evil forces of bogeyman

    I've read about 20 biographies on Einstein, and it's in somebody's book that Einstein ended up at Princeton because they were offering him a job and help in finding a place to live before California did. Einstein just kind of took the first job that was offered to him. Well, he was escaping the Nazis at the time, and he never once made it back to Berlin for the rest of his life. I think they offered him $9,000 in 1933 (my memory may be off about the amount), and Einstein asked back, "How much money is that? Could I live on less?" But the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study gave him the high salary anyway. I'm sure Einstein never knew what his house payment was or how much he had in his bank account. His wife Elsa said they both ended up really liking the city of Princeton because its environment (trees, architecture, etc) reminded them a lot of where they had lived before in Germany.

    @lailaknight6620 Год назад +11

    It's so inspiring to have an insight into Einstein's life events and the way he dealt with them. I have something to add concerning the question of the lady: "Why did he nurture brilliant ideas only at the beginning of his life?" I am not in measure to offer an answer, but from what I've seen in artists and in great minds, I can speculate that the following happens:
    If you look at Tchaikovsky or at Mozart, they created brilliant masterpieces until their death. In fact, Tchaikovsky's Pathetica was written before his suicide and Mozart worked himself to death while writing the Requiem.
    So I suspect that the act of creation is so strong that it surpasses the human abilities of an artist. If you want to create something never seen before, the work haunts you, it drives you to overwork, and to burnout, and it depletes you.
    The work becomes like this big monster eating alive his own master. And the master dies but he becomes immortal through this titanic work.
    And I suspect that perhaps Einstein realized what the price for it is. He has already faced tumulous times in his youth, and perhaps he wanted to still work to solve those mysteries but without compromising his health for them.
    Do you see what I mean?
    Of course, this is just speculation. But as an artist, I can see what your own work can do to you, and there is a limit to how far you choose to go. If you see yourself as a human being and you choose to take care of yourself in a complete way.
    But if you see yourself only as an artist/scientist/etc, you will sacrifice your humanity for it and you will have a dramatic end. Like Tchaikovsky.
    Perhaps Einstein didn't want to die in a dramatic way.
    Perhaps he chose more balance.
    At least I suspect.

      Far Out, man! What was the Tchai's end, anyway? Thing is, the mediocre among us just ain't having the smartest of us [problem is we tend towards arrogance anyway, and just cannot stop assuring everyone, ourselves(us) and them alike, just how brilliant we are, it's a built-in, like Tay-Sachs and Jews, rare, yeah, but characteristic as hell, and, as well as high IQ and Jews, NOT Zionists, although is likely, arrogance more attached to Zionists,[since I know many Jews whose arrogance is not as insufferable as Zionist arrogance] forever revealing to the stupid oafs, and of them, (of us, [included as perpetual knee jerk self defense marker]) from asking stupid non-rhetorical, actual real questions from them like: 'Is this going to be on the test?' I have often mused whether these folks were like plants, placed and used for measuring something, no, no, not them but real non-mammal plants, whose lower appendages were in some type of hyponic growing medium.
      Sorry, went off the beaten path, or created a new one, but lest I forget,I have to mention the train of thought I tend towards is habitual, a charcteristically forced down immovable tracks of which fortunately for the reader, assuming she or he,or they or cis or whomever the reader there is, human, alien or outer space guest, capable of reading English is still there[ and thanks so much] as mine[train of thought,'member?] is but barely sustaining the Engine and its Caboose.
      Mainly, talent is a given, that simply must exist with or without arrogance, but gott say talentless I am, but arrogance is there, why? I'm dumb as a flea's infecting bacteria.[YES, fleas have their own microbes, but guess they'd be same as we and get infecterd by still smaller ones nanobes? See an infected flea, and tell me its microbe's appearance is to the flea [who appears to the researcher's electron microscope image to be a giant bug, but it's a flea, we barely can see without scope,yet its infection 'bug' making the flea sick looks like the flea we barely see has these 'specks' that is to us seen only via microscope. Wow, thanks for listening but again, no issue exists unless you're talented. Einstein figured out unseen stuff somehow as did Quantum Physicists like Feynman.
      Far out, I agree with you, how does a brilliant anybody have a life with and or without their talent that likely drives them, or compels them and outsider author Malcolm Gladwell claims a minimum 10,000 hrs at it to succeed, even with best of life, no adverse Chilhood Traumas, and etc.
      Dummies like me can only entertain our bewilderment at how did they even pose the questiobn? As for possibilities for solutions, I am bewildered, and there forever in awe of those out there. I do love Sean Carroll's representing his topics, I almost understand.

I've been intrigued by not only by his accomplishments, but by the fact that he was interested in what is actually true of reality above ALL else. He did not care about ego or what others thought of him. Such concerns would have detracted from his main interest of learning about the structure of reality. He made such amazing scientific discoveries in large part due to his tremendous HONESTY!

    This comment is directed to people who complain about the moderators of these World Science Festival videos. If it isn't obvious that these moderators were selected and recruited BECAUSE they know little about the subject, it should be, because they introduce themselves specifically as such. The evident concept, which I think is correct, is that they may be the only intermediates that potentially could get across the material to the nearly 100% of people who also know nothing much about the subject. It is not hard to see that there has been some kind of run-through, with the participants saying similar lines in the live recording as they had before, including the funny stuff and off-hand comments. The moderator is looking at notes, and going through the topics, patter, and questions as prearranged. They are cueing the guests, not asking off-hand questions as they come to mind. If the questions don't sound as a knowledgeable person would ask, that is as intended. It is for the guests to frame a sensible answer.
    All this is obvious, so why do I have to explain it?

      inx How so? I never liked reporters, although I have become used to them, and she is just normal. Maybe the guests aren't the right actors? They are tense and artificial. I am sure if they had a playwright write out a script and hired real actors who memorized their lines it would look a lot better. But there is a reason they didn't do that.
      You are watching a live performance by real people. The producers mean to reach a wider audience than the science buffs who will watch a lecturer or a documentary.
      I cringe a lot too, being used to seeing 100% professionals, with professional editing. You are aware (right?) that the interviews you see on TV presented as if they are real are the result of hours of talk edited down to a few minutes or seconds. They can make you look like a genius or a jerk by having enough material to edit.

      SRV. 123 So? The moderators ask questions, dumb or not, to bring a subject up for an audience that may not know, but who watch in order to be informed. If many people may know what the situation for Jews was at various times, that does not mean a general audience does. Sure, there were a lot of things I would hope everyone already knew, but I also know from personal experience that most people don't, because they never cared to know. This is not a difficult point. Despite these talks having high powered experts on the panel, it is very evident that the presentations, which have been rehearsed, are designed to reach people who know nothing to start.

    • @kennethflorek8532

      SRV. 123 You believe something that the producers manifestly do not. You believe that the pro TV journalist which was hired because she did not know the subject should have prepared herself beforehand. The producers do not.
      The TV reporter looked uncomfortable to me asking the same dumb questions as in the run-through, but she is a pro and did what the directors directed,
      There is a radio journalist in a wheelchair that comes off as badly in his presentations, except that he jokes about it. He also looks at his written notes constantly, instead of the teleprompter, no doubt because he is used to radio.
      Alan Alda is about as charming as people get, and a hugely accomplished actor. People who have no interest in science whatever will come to presentations to see him. He also did a science show for PBS for many, many years and did a beautiful job. Besides that, he IS a science buff in his private life. Nevertheless he did ask some bonehead questions at times, and he too looked uncomfortable repeating the same question as in the run-though, but of course he is a superlative pro, which requires doing as directed.
      Brian Green is a professional physics theorist and has researched and written best-selling books on such for the general audience. He also has done several hour long PBS programs based on the books. I don't think he would know what it would be like to formulate a stupid question. But he doesn't do any presentations unrelated to his expertise, and I don't think he could handle it.

If they used a science reporter or someone who may have understood the science more, then the conversation could have been more thought provoking, or more in depth, and we would have probably have benefited more from the time we spent, as would the participants have gotten more benefit from it i believe. when the above person said, "But they could at least get someone who has a real interest in learning about the subject," the above poster would not have meant the panelists, as the panelists were chosen because in their working in their chosen fields they were accomplished at those pursuits and had experience in knowledge or creative work that directly related to some knowledge pertinent to this particular discussion of Einstein's contributions etc. I fear the group putting on the program in trying to appeal to a wider audience may have felt getting an interviewer that might be not very knowledgeable about the subject might dumb down the talk enough to not make people stop watching... just wondering... because it often happens. A word to the wise, you can't raise people's level of awareness and knowledge by limiting their exposure to that knowledge. For a while I was educated in a setting that made the professors make too many classes too easy. there was a general brain drain. The people who did not want to work still dropped out and so did those who wanted to learn more because they were not given the opportunities they needed. You don't want to drive your best students away trying to make people who don't want to be there interested in the subject matter. People who feel forced to attend are not going to be swayed by ease of learning and it is just insulting them as much any the rest of us students, professors included.

      By calculating the shift in Mercury’s orbit his theory was proven beyond reasonable doubt. Think about it, astronomers had determined Mercury orbit shifted by 43 seconds of arc per century, that’s almost nothing ! It’s amazing that astronomers were able to do that in the nineteenth century with the tools of that time. Then Einstein comes along and uses the relativity theory with the guess that forces of acceleration cannot be experimentally distinguished from the force of gravity. The only way for these things to be true is if space and time are warped in the presence of matter. This was similar to special relativity where motion dilates time and compresses apace. Then he calculates Mercury’s orbit and the orbit is close to an ellipse but not quite. The ellipse rotates 45 seconds of arc per century. WTF !!

    Einstein was a phenomenon in himself. The most priceless and rarest of human being ever born on earth. If ever in history of the world humanity has to be represented by its ultimate intellectual, no doubt EINSTEIN will be the choosen one. Even the word GENIUS is not enough to describe the aura of Einstein.

      The diaspora always emphasized the importance of education, and at this time and place in history (last 400 years) the bias is on european history and the acquisition of knowledge. Had the focus have been the 1000 years before the current era, the show might have been centered on the mathematics and physics discoveries of the greeks the arabs, and the various other ethnic peoples of the levantine. Imagine what we have lost when the library at alexandria was burned, the scrolls of the first chinese dynasties were lost, the clay tablets of the babylonians were destroyed.

    This is interesting. The additional folds means he had extra brain surface area. They mentioned the extra folds in the language area. That actually explains why he had an understanding of what he was researching, and likewise was able to explain what he was understanding.
    The larger corpus callosum was developed through his violin playing.
    Musicians playing stringed instruments have a larger corpus callosum. That’s the key to inter hemispheric interaction. (I only know that part because I also play violin. I thought that was interesting about the corpus callosum, so I looked into it more. lol)
    The information about his brain having the extra folds is fascinating.
    His motor cortex seemed to have additional surface area (not like the average brain). I looked into that too, because I once heard something about Mozart being so young he physiologically should not have had the muscle, tendon, and bone development to play the advanced pieces he had begun composing .
    I then searched, and found that one quarter of the motor cortex is devoted to the muscle movement of the hand.
    Einstein was certainly exceptional.

    Humanity will be amazed when they realize that the brain has nothing to do with intelligence. New and revolutionary ideas are called "inspiration." This means that they come from our Higher Self, the spirit. Study Einstein and you will see that he was incredibly inspired. It took him many, many years to work out the math and to actually prove his theories. Brilliance doesn't come from math, it comes from inspiration. Later we use math to "prove" the efficacy of the inspiration.
    When we grow beyond the physical constraints of form and dare to reach beyond form, to the formless and eternal, beyond time and space, we will be utterly amazed. Then we will star making real progress.
    Einstein was awesome. He saw a greater possibility than we had imagined. He helped us to see ourselves from a more complete and elevated perspective.

      What do see as a person's brain's purpose or function? Mine dumps acid in my stomach pretty predictably when I think of something that makes me feel like I am of less of value to my self or others (aka low self esteem) but that isn't getting very close to figuring out my brain's purpose... But it does tell me that my thoughts directly affect my body and it's health and my comfort level and that there is a feedback loop there. I see possibilities there... It is more inspiring to me to break that loop than figure out what causes gravity to behave the way it does... as long as I do not fall off the planet, I know that gravity is still doing what it does!! lol. You tend to make observations from observing an actual something and saying to yourself why? or learning a group of facts and having a question form in your mind, like why? it seems like those would have evolved pretty naturally don't you think and we know Einstein's theories were not built in a vacuum but that he was standing on the shoulders who came before him aka not reinventing the wheel aka evolving his ideas and they were probably a from scratch like bolt out of the blue fully formed and explained and and explainable and digestable by others aka he did the math right? so what part is the miracle of inspiration and what part is preparation and perspiration and the instigation of others meeting opportunity well... lol ... but really & seriously? I am curious...
