3:10 it seems like a way to interpret this is that the way time varies in relation to the universal time is the lorentz factor (which is the factor that we use to transform things through different frames), which is interesting
Always found most derivations weird because no one explained what is energy and just put it in there Now I get that relativistic energy is defined in a way that resembles newtonean mechanics and is also conserved Very good video
@@TheBrainFiller and it has the same units of newtonian energy since it's defined with a mass and a velocity because of school and other youtube educators it's being hard to realise these things are like, made up for useful scientific reasons and not something someone excavated out of the ground
Yeah that’s totally understandable but I would use the maths in this as a good way of judging your progress in the future. You’ll probably learn about vectors and dot products before the end of high school. You’ll also definitely do derivatives at some point (as someone who seems interested in maths/physics). The physics in this video is admittedly not often taught in high school (sometimes is though to be fair) but you will think about using vectors in physics. Point being in the years to come you’ll be able to see why the stuff you’re learning now will apply to other stuff (actually this is why I really liked watching Andrew Dotson’s videos on RUclips in high school, where he vlogs about what he’s learning in his physics degree and does some brilliant skits). Thanks for watching and good luck in your future learning
Ultimately it’s something that’s made up we just choose to call gamma m c^2 the total energy but it’s well motivated. What I mention in the video is if you take the low speed limit on that quantity it looks like mc^2+1/2mv^2 so it looks like some constant term plus the kinetic energy. But here’s another reason, we know that this overall 4 momentum inner product is conserved by computing it and seeing we get a constant. Moreover, we know that the 3 momentum is conserved as a fundamental law of physics. If the 4 momentum is conserved and the 3 momentum is conserved then the time component of 4 momentum must also be conserved. So this thing in the time component of 4 momentum has units of energy, looks like kinetic energy at low speeds and is conserved…those seem like exactly the properties of something we’d call the total energy yeah? Hope that helps
Where did I get that time component of the momentum inner product? At 4:16 I computed the inner product of 4-momentum with itself and the expression at 5:39 is just a rewriting of that. Hope that helps!
If you’re talking about 2:50 then each term is divided by dt so each term is a component of the velocity not a differential of the velocity. Thanks for watching and let me know if that clarifies things

Yeah that’s an interesting take! Thanks for watching
The king has returned!
so useful and clear!!! thanx!!!

Very good video
Yes, quantities are invented in physics because they’re useful and nothing is more useful to a physicist than a conservation law

Amazing videos bruv i just binge watched some of them please start uploading again
Thanks for watching! Yeah, I have a couple things in the pipeline. So hopefully 🤞in the next few weeks.
thank you
this is so clear💙
Awesome to hear thanks for watching
nice video sir well i am only in high school so i was not able to understand it but thanks for your efforts

Calculus des differentielles😊
6:58 where did total energy come from?

@@TheBrainFiller i’ll take a look 👀 later. looks daunting 🥺. can i interview you / do a collab on my channel?
@@TheBrainFillerthis was helpful, was going to ask the same thing, thank you. Great video
5:39 where is this from? 😮

@@TheBrainFillerwow 😮. amazing 🥲
Where are the new videos!?
I don’t know man…I don’t know. I have ideas but I lack the mental energy/space for whatever reason.
You mean dv^2 not v^2, right. The differentials add up to a differential.
If you’re talking about 2:50 then each term is divided by dt so each term is a component of the velocity not a differential of the velocity. Thanks for watching and let me know if that clarifies things
Dude there are some really obvious errors in this…
Oh sorry, such as?
