      LondonCityGirl Isn't it strange that time, distance, and speed seem to be a variant of a single structure ? You need speed x time for distance, distance and time for speed, and speed and distance for time. They look like a never ending loop. The principles stated in the video seem to take effect at every step of this infinite loop stuff. Distance, time, and speed seem to be motivated by something. I think it's energy. I think momentum/vibration = energy, time,distance,and speed. I think matter is just some variant of this momentum. What do you think?

      I just want some thoughts. This says that time must slow down if the light is travelling a greater distance, but isnt the time it would take for it to travel that distance just be longer even in reference to the other one. Basically, for the light to bounce back and forth three times while the mirrors are moving, it would take lo ger than while they are still because it has a greater distance to travel

      Ha! Have you ever heard of the concept of the fruit loop? It goes like this - true statement - true statement - true statement - false statement + fruit loop. A fruit loop is a false statement that spins the argument down and impossible path and then spins out of control... Called a fruit loop because it is crazy ie "fruity" and loops back on itself and then spins off in some incredible and impossible direction. That is what you have here. Einstein the "Greatest Genius of the Twentieth Century" was in fact the greatest proponent of the "Fruit Loop" in history. Einstein has no idea what time is or even what space is. His "theory" is so flawed and so beyond the realm on possibility it is worthless except for those parts of the theory that he "borrowed" from much smarter men than him. Einstein will without doubt eventually go down in history as the greatest "scientific" con man who ever lived.

      +Jeff Rey Correct. The stationary observer concludes that the moving clock runs slower. Each observer sees his clock running at normal speed.

    • @MegaTropicalstorm
      @MegaTropicalstorm 8 лет назад

      +Jeff Rey The traveler doesn't really see the time for the observer running slow. It's Twin Paradox which would somehow indicate the traveler to think of the previous view which is not true. As the traveler assumes his initial point at the front of his path to his destination which according to him will be at the rear, he soon realizes that the instant at which time for initial point t = 0 is not the same in case of that of his destination. The clock of the later runs slightly ahead of the earlier one. Their clocks stay out of synchronization. In order to calculate the time on the clock of the observer the traveler must take that of his destination's clock into account.

    • @trtnec
      @trtnec 8 лет назад +3

      +Jeff Rey no time does not "appear" to slow, it DOES slow, for both parties. It's just that it's relative for both. It literally is slowing though, as you could theoretically use time dilation to time travel.

    The term "Time slows down" confused because when I thought about it I thought that meant smaller speed of light. When really it doesn't only slow the minute, it makes it larger. So a larger minute (or slower minute) allows a larger distance for light light to travel.

    *If anyone is confused, here is a quick explanation:* Say there are two sets of mirrors that are both bouncing a beam of light back and forth vertically. One set of mirrors is traveling at the speed of light horizontally while the other is stationary. Pretend you are moving at the speed of light along side the moving set of mirrors. The light that is bouncing between the moving mirrors is traveling a greater distance in a shorter amount of time. That means the light beam is traveling faster than light. Of course, there is nothing in the entire universe that can go faster than light, so in order to compensate for this paradox, time -according to the person moving with the moving set of mirrors - goes slower in order for light to travel a greater distance in the same amount of time as the stationary set of mirrors. Basically, time has to slow down in order for you to travel a greater distance in the same amount of time as something staying still (AKA speed=distance/time)

It only makes sense to talk of things moving relative to one another. so the ball is only moving at 50 mph relative to someone stood on the ground, but between the kids it is moving at 10 mph.

    Another interesting point is that just like the clocks slowing down when in motion at very high speeds (comparable to c) , our heart rate, breathing rates, etc also slow down (relative to the stationary observer) because these can also be considered some biological clocks. This would mean that ageing is slowed if we move at very high speeds.

    Clocks being different:
    The forces acting upon the clocks are different, which acts upon the clocks in ways to change their respective "time".
    Gravity is different on different spots on the Earth as well as magnetic field strengths may be different as one moves and/or the field moves through it. While not all matter is considered magnetic, all matter can be affected by magnetism due to the magnetic fields generated by the moving electrons in atoms.

      @charlesbrightman4237 8 лет назад

      +Michael Towler Not only gravity, but recently I believe some people received a noble prize finding out that neutrinos have mass. As neutrinos pass through certainly aircraft and therefore even a clock on an aircraft, it would seem to me that any neutrino impacts traveling at high speed in addition to the speed of the aircraft would affect the clocks on that aircraft. Albeit probably only tiny impacts, but probably cumulative as well. Then also the variability of the Earth's magnetic field which would affect all matter as a moving electron in an atom would generate a moving magnetic field that would be acted upon. Since the "time" difference between the stationary clock and the moving clock is only very small, this sure seems very reasonable to me utilizing known laws of physics.

    Great video, thank you. I keep thinking that, generally speaking, we're using multiple concepts derived from one man's amazing intellect and even though most of Einstein's theories have been validated, we will very likely find his work as one step in the ladder of knowledge (similar to Newton's work). It seems like there was a lot of work necessary to ensure the speed of light remains constant for all observers, e.g., time dilation and length contraction. My humble, uninformed guess is that we'll find exceptions and limitations to the equations that Einstein developed, and one day be able to travel at speeds beyond the speed of light. However, odds are I won't be around to pat myself on the back.

      @RobinLynn331 9 лет назад +8

      sarsunflower You'd still not get to faster than the speed of light.
      think of speed, mass, and energy as a right-angle triangle. if you have mass (the vertical part of the triangle) no matter how much energy you put in (the horizontal part of the triangle), the angle of the hypotenuse (the long side) would never be flat.
      By saying you can go backwards in time with enough energy is like saying you can make a right-angle triangle start bending the other way by making the length of the horizontal line bigger.

    if you rotate the clock parallel to the direction the photon is traveling and approach the "speed of light" no more bouncy bounce, we EMITTIME, the speed of undivided light is zero, only divided light moves, also what we call "gravity" is universal compression, a push from above, search black and white photos of jupiter to see how its moon is pushing on the eye of jupiter, there is mutual repulsion between all bodies in space, that is why there are no meteorites in any meteorite craters, see patomski crater, non perfect 90 degree angle, no impact

    Great video! As an engineer I want to point out that a bullet does not travel with its cartridge as in 4:50-5:30.. this is often portrayed wrongly. A cartridge holds the powder which is ignited by the primer. This rise in pressure due to combustion causes the bullet (the yellow part in this video) to separate from the cartridge and be pushed through the barrel. The cartridge remains behind and some of this energy is used to eject it out the side. In some cases it is ejected manually by the operator.

    I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but the length contraction only happens along the axis of motion, so the boy should be drawn thinner but not shorter. Also, to clarify, the boy in the ship doesn't experience time to be slower. To him, everything is normal in the ship. It's only from the perspective of someone on Earth (or any other reference frame) that the ship's time is dilated. And likewise from his perspective, everyone else's clocks are slow.

    Length contraction only works in the direction of movement. I think showing the mirrors getting closer when it is moving side to side is a little misleading. The light beam should be going side to side if you are showing movement side to side. The clock would only get smaller in the direction of movement. It would be skinnier. Not smaller.

      If you travel at speed of light, you won't be human againg. Do not try at home. The time its just a success that never stop or return. We grow according with our biological information .

      Time is just a measure of how much things can happen. When we say time runs slower, we mean that less things can happen for that observer.

      Most things that are stupid and wrong are easy to understand. It pisses me off to see comments like yours. You think you've learned something but it's the blind leading the blind. She doesn't know what she's talking about, and just talking about her vague understanding of it. She thinks that objects shrink down in every dimension the faster they go for shit's sake, that traveling fast is a veritable shrink ray. And now if someone comes up to you, because she made a video about her ignorant misconceptions with a fake pretense of authority and you watched it, you might tell them about how objects shrink down when they go fast and they'll say "I don't think so," and you'll say "no, it's true, I saw a video about it on the internet and everything!"

    • @johnerrolgabong5170
      @johnerrolgabong5170 5 лет назад

      For some reason I think yes. Because based on the video time slows down in space. If the clocks on the same time were experimented on the space and earth was on sync before leaving earth I guess it's the same with both people watching as the clock both running and both on the same time.

    • @jasexavier
      @jasexavier 4 года назад

      Each would see the other moving slower, and both would be correct. However, if you actually tried to return to the earth to compare your clocks, you'd find that much more time had passed on the earth than had for you. This is because you changed reference frames (you accelerated in order to stop and turn around). *All* things are not relative, just uniform motion in a straight line. Once you start accelerating, you keep changing reference frames and you'll find that suddenly your motion becomes the "real" motion.
      If there were twins, and one of them left in a ship near the speed of light and the other stayed on the earth, and after travelling for a long time the twin on the ship turned around and came home, that twin would be younger than the other, by an amount depending on their speeds and distance traveled.

  • @414aliha

    Wait i didn't get the last part! how do the clocks show different times? the clock is a mechanical device after all, this is the concept of time that delays or outrun, meaning that when I am on the plane with a particular speed, my time is conceptualized differently than a person standing on earth, but how does it effect the movement of the clocks in my hand and his hand??

    • @ElenaBage95
      @ElenaBage95 6 лет назад +2

      Travel doesn't effect the movement of your watch, i think it warps space-time. As you're moving through space, your time slows down relative to someone standing still 🤔 this is reflected in the value displayed by your watch

    • @hookahhorns
      @hookahhorns 5 лет назад +2

      Agree that this video failed to give a satisfactory explanation and actually caused confusion on this point. The answer is that time passes faster at higher altitudes relative to lower ones (because gravitational potential is greater) and passes slower for objects moving at higher speeds relative to those moving at slower speeds. The clocks in this experiment were off by nanoseconds, not whole minutes. Showing a difference of whole minutes rather than the imperctible difference of nanoseconds led me to question why flying has never caused my watch to be noticeably out of sync with my clock at home as a result of my watch's daily speed and altitude increases relative to the clock's.

    • @zoltankurti
      @zoltankurti 5 лет назад

      It doesn't effect the mechanical movement. Think about it. From your perdpective, you are stationary, so it must work the same way. It is because you have less time.than a stationary observer on the ground. It's like a strange tunnel. When you go through the tunnel, the path is very long, and when you go next to the tunnel, the path length is normal. It's strange, but it's also reality.
