Slowing The Speed of Light Down To 2 m/s-What Special Relativity Feels Like

  • In this video I show you what it would look like to slow the speed of light down to around walking speed. So with just walking around town you would experience relativistic effects. I talk about time dilation and length contraction and what it would look like to have it happen to you. Get the simulation created by MIT here: gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower...

    *Interesting note:* Even Einstein was mistaken on length contraction. He had said that a sphere would look like an ellipsoid. However, Penrose later proved that a sphere would still be spherical, although rotated. Notice in the simulation how the spheres are the only objects that don't look distorted when moving at near light speeds!

  • @DrewFeille
    @DrewFeille Год назад +257

    Here's one way to understand why things seem to get farther/longer at high speeds:
    Normally your eyes only catch light coming from a certain direction in front of you. But as you go faster, your eyes can catch up and intercept light that would normally be outside your file of view.
    So imagine that your eye is a bucket with its opening facing forward, and light photons are pellets being fired all around you. At rest, the only pellets that can enter the bucket are the ones in front. But if you move fast enough, you can outpace pellets that are traveling sideways, or even ones that are coming from an angle behind you, so your bucket can catch more pellets from a wider angle.
    If we go back to thinking about light: this is why the camera seems to zoom out when moving forward. Your eyes can now catch light coming from angles to the side, or even behind you.

      Its relativistic space time dilation, not increased velocity. Remember, he is always moving at 2 meters per second throughout the whole game. He is decelerating light, not accelerating himself. So the contraction of space creates an acceleration like effect where distances that took 5 seconds to travel start to take 4 seconds then 3 seconds, so on so forth. The space between himself and his destination is contracting as the speed limit of the universe decreases, bending the rules of relativity into a more observable state.

      You can also use it in smaller examples: for instance, if you want to test a dog wistle, all it takes is for you to ride a bike away from it and you will start hearing it. It's also when an ambulanse is near you, you hear it loud and high-pitched, but as it passes you sound gets quieter and lower.

You could do cool things like keeping a powerup more time than you should or passing between fast moving platforms with time dillation, slipping between really close bullets, moving so that two different coloured objects appear the same to you because of Doppler effect, etc.

      Hyperspace and warp speed are totally wrong.
      At warp 10 it would take just under half a year to get to the nearest star.
      All the stars in the sky would bunch up, moving forwards, none being seen out the rear windows or side-rear windows. All the stars would be in side windows or in front windows.
      And they would all be either red or blue, except a few that were shining into your side windows, which would still be white..
      But, keep in mind, the stars in your side windows had just bunched up, and had been behind-and-to-the-side just before you hit the hyperdrive button.
      So, the only white stars would be the ones you are traveling away from at a very specific angle. And only that angle.

      Actually, all sci fi movies have it totally wrong, epecially Star Trek and Star Wars.
      Firstly, you would rarely pass a star. The space ships never travel very far at all.
      Secondly, all the stars would move forwards, towards the direction of travel. They would bunch up, with none behind you.. And they would all change to blue or red, except for the few stars whose light is coming from a slight angle from the side, those would stay white.
      The sky would just sit there for many years not changing yntil you reached the closest star, about 3 months after you hit the "warp speed" button, or went into hyperspace.

    Another example of the Doppler effect is when you are by a race track, the cars driving really fast as they go towards you, you can hear the engines at a higher pitch. Then, when they drive past you, the sound gets lower. Because the racecar is closer to the speed of sound, the same applies to light

      @@gandalf8216 dreams are not false memories. They are simulated realities that help consolidate real memories and create real memories of these simulated experiences too. They can become more "false" in the process of dream memory recollection after waking up, but that's another thing.

    Wouldn't it be absolutely awesome if someone made a puzzle-solving adventure game that involved manipulating this 'light-slowing' effect as a core game mechanic? Using it to see invisible colours, alter your relative speed, and see things at different angles or from different perspectives (like writing that was stretched out and illegible until you walked backwards to compress it). You could even have NPCs that get old and die as you use the ability more.
