    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

      Yeah that’s an interesting take! Thanks for watching

    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

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

      @@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

    nice video sir well i am only in high school so i was not able to understand it but thanks for your efforts

      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

    6:58 where did total energy come from?

    • @TheBrainFiller
      @TheBrainFiller  Месяц назад +2

      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

      @TheBrainFiller  Месяц назад +1

      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!

    You mean dv^2 not v^2, right. The differentials add up to a differential.

    • @TheBrainFiller
      @TheBrainFiller  Год назад +1

      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
