      in an endless black tube of nothing but temperature variation for more than half an hour? there's not even air in there and the sensation of falling only applies while youre still accelerating at a noticeable rate.
      after a few minutes you wont feel, see or hear a thing.

    • @wolfdepoorter6894
      @wolfdepoorter6894 7 лет назад +23

      Terminal velocity is something caused by air friction, which is taken out of the calculations like he said at the beginning of the video

    • @Feintgames
      @Feintgames 6 лет назад +15

      If you made the tunnel, allowed time to fill it with air, then jumped in, air resistance would limit your acceleration to terminal velocity. But after passing the center of the Earth, your momentum would be competing against gravity and wind resistance. You'd never make it to China.

  • @breadman86

    Would you actually end up coming out the other side if you fell like this? Wouldn't you just begin and oscillation back and forth, never quite reaching the surface again, losing energy each time, until eventually you're just stuck in the core?

    • @joelshewmaker3567
      @joelshewmaker3567 8 лет назад +347

      breadman86
      If there is no wind resistance, then you shouldn't lose energy in the system, meaning that you should end up on the surface again. Unless there's somewhere where you can lose energy.

      There have actual projects to make gravity powered railway elevators. The earliest rail systems, like a few in England and Wales, used gravity to transport large cargos. So long as both points were at the same True Elevation, counted from the core rather than sea level, you would come to a perfect stop just as you arrive... But have only a half second to grab something, or you will be returned to sender.

      @@williamd6621 At the beginning, you have a whole lot of potential energy and no kinetic energy. As you fall, your potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, until you reach the centre and have a whole lot of kinetic energy and no potential energy. Falling out the other side, the reverse occurs - kinetic back to potential. With no air resistance, all that energy would stay in the system, just converting back and forth between the types.

    • @foobargorch
      @foobargorch 8 лет назад +2

      +JustJason it's justified because "constant stuff" doesn't change the nature of the curve, a linear function times a constant is still a linear function. Linear transformations can be done at the beginning and the very end to make sure things are in agreement (e.g. the unit system), but don't really matter when it comes to finding a strategy to reason about the equation, in that respect they serve only to distract and potentially introduce calculation errors.

      You need to solve fort for the special "Clean Case" to figure out what formulae you are going to use, you then get an answer to help later when you add in the messy RL stuuf, and you can compare to see if you answer for messy life is close to the clean case, or if it is orders of magnitude off.
      -
      If your real-stuff answer is way off the clean case, you may need to reassess your assumptions and math.

    • @killerassassinx5x

      That's not used as a factor in the video though, temperature doesn't matter because there is no air to transfer it. All factors aside from gravity (and all relevant factors to that such as density) and time are excluded for the purpose of the calculation.

Primarily because most stop watches don't cope well with the pressure and the heat.

    I don't get why we can cancel out everything that's obove us in the "shaved earth" model: the gravitational force depends on how far you're away. That means that if I fall straight into the hole, the part above me attracts me much more than the part opposite the earth pulls me down, because one is much closer than the other -> smaller radius, more attraction (G*m1*m2/r^2). Is my question clear?

      A pendulum is simply a weight on a string or arm that is allowed to swing freely. Like a clock's swinging weight, or a swing in a playground.
      They are pretty simple to calculate how they behave, and are a good introduction to things that constantly change speed and oscillate, so they tend to be found in beginner physics classes.

    It is also worth mentioning that, assuming Earth has constant density, it doesn't matters if you are falling through the center of the earth. You can go a little bit sideways, it would be also the same time. Or even completely sideways. Like trying to dig directly from London to Paris. If there is no friction with ground and if you will just jump in the hole, you will also arrive in ~42 minutes

    If we were to include air and subsequently include terminal velocity in our maths, you would be unable to reach the other side. You'd reach the centre, then fall so far as to decrease your velocity from its terminal state to zero, at which point you then approach teh centre again. Eventually, you'd run out of momentum and be suspended at that central point, whereupon the intense heat would cook you inside out like a develled egg. Or a large turkey. Or basically any foodstuff that experiences such.

    @thegalaxydragon9199 8 лет назад +5

    Here's something that ive been thinking about for a long time now: As you fell through the Earth, due to gravity slowing you after passing the core and now working against you instead of with you, wouldn't that resistance cause you to not quite reach the other side? as a result, you would just fall back towards the Earth's core and repeat the process, now with less initial height, thus less force to propel you past the core. so my question is, after youve repeated the process many times, and youve passed the core many times, with a decreasingly less maximum distance from the core than the last pass, what would happen once you were only falling a few feet each pass? and what would happen after that? would you just float idlely at the center of the Earth, as there is no force pulling you downwards, and equal force pulling you outwards from all directions? Or would you either be crushed under the pressure or be streched in every direction simultaneously from the gravity encircling you, and balloon out and be torn apart?

    • @Rhaegar19
      @Rhaegar19 8 лет назад +2

      The force of gravity cancels in all directions, meaning there is 0 net force on your body and you just float there. It would be identical to being in empty space. That would only happen if there was something to slow you down though. In the video he assumes there's no air in the hole, so you would actually lose no energy to air resistance and just go back and forth forever. A linear orbit.

    If the radius of the earth doesn't matter, then how big of an earth-density object could you still fall through/around in forty-two minutes, before the light-speed barrier became a problem? (That's assuming the object you were falling through/around didn't collapse under its own gravity into a black hole or something.)

    • @ThatCowGuy

      If the object would accelerate you up to almost-the-speed-of-light speeds the *fallen distance* would actually decrease. That's my guess.

    do you guys forgot the days where jake (from vsauce 3) got a lot of hate comments because he uploaded a video with the same topic/lines as of cgp grey (yes im aware that in this case minutephysics uploaded it several months earlier while cgp grey uploaded it in a few days hence the quality/editing time for vsauce 3 to copy grey's video is inhumanely fast. hence vsauce 3 is innocent)
    why did they think vsauce 3 plagarized?
    both vsauce 3 and cgp grey used the most common/mind boggling/ sequence/ choice of words/ lines (the sleeping) they could find/come up with while surfing through the internet.
    few points to consider
    1.) the ideas/words/common lines of this topic (just like the sleeping/death due to teleportation from vsauce3 and cgp grey's case) used in this minutephysics video can be found on the internet. should michio kaku file for them for stating his idea of death due to quantum teleportation (assuming michio kaku is the first eventhough there are others before him said the same thing about teleporters)
    2.) taking out the most common lines found in the internet on both videos
    guess is that life noggin got the idea from minutephysics and work from there. should life noggin be getting hate for being inspired to minutepysics? it could be true that he copy pasted minutephysics but we dont have enough information to know. innocent until proven guilty it is unfair for a guy to get a lot of hate with not much evidence. he is guilty if he does this several times before/ again in the future.
    3.) should the several "honest anime trailers" channels should be getting hate because they obviously got the IDEA AND FORMAT
    from screen junkies
    4.) matthew santoro got several hate because he used a particular site's and basically copy pasted it. his originality is the background and jokes. the hate cooled down because he couldnt possibly made up the facts. The problem is he got it from few sites.
    5.) should react channels get hate because they popped up with the success of fine bros?
    7.) should kurzgesagt get hate for getting ideas from the internet? kurzgesagt: "Genetic engineering will change everything forever" with designer babies on the video posted 2 weeks ago.
    life noggin: "will genetic modification change humans" life noggin also says the phrase "designer babies" IN HIS OWN VIDEO POSTED 2 MONTHS AGO. SO SHOULD KURZGESAGT get hate? (no since designer babies is a phrase for genetically modified babies. but its uncommon thing to say since neither kurzgesagt nor life noggin knows about the "designer babies" phrases since they are not biologists. obviously life noggin got it from scientific articles/videos regarding cas 9/crispr FROM THE INTERNET) {Then kurzgesagt POSSIBLY saw life noggin's video and start from there (sounds familiar?) they COULD'VE get the research/editing done in 2 months with a channel that big.}
    (also similar art style on both sides although both are not famous at the time on their first year in youtube cant see who "copied" first could be a coincidence) NOTE: im not saying kurzgesagt's team plagiarized i said they couldve and it connects to #8.
    8.) MOST SUCCESSFUL SCIENCE CHANNELS GET IDEAS FROM THE INTERNET TO INCREASE ENJOYMENT/PASS IDEAS EASIER. I HEAR COMMON THINGS ON THE SAME TOPIC BETWEEN SEVERAL SCIENCE CHANNELS (eg. the death due to teleportation is a good start of philosophical ideas {michio kaku} and makes the video more exciting) ITS A COMMON THING TO DO IN SCIENCE CHANNELS. (SO NEXT TIME JUST ADD THE SOURCES BELOW)

    Awesome video, thanks!
    Just so long as no one turns around and says "why haven't we built this yet?!". I've had to explain to someone that this is not pragmatic, and never will be in the conceivable future. We're talking about drilling a hole through the mantle, through the core, through everything that idles at incredible pressure and heat. We and our perceivable future selves cannot deal with that; we can't even dig more than a few km through the crust before our best equipment starts to break down. And our tunnel has to endure the internal forces of the molten core not only squeezing it, but also moving around inside while the continents are moving at the surface (albeit both at a geologic pace, cm per year; but there's no super-ancient society that built tunnels through the earth for us to ride). And the Coriolis effect makes the ride down difficult. And then you need to survive the heat and pressure during the ride, not just the equipment. And.... Okay really there's no point enumerating further. But sometimes people read sci-fi stories and think they're an authority on the subject.
    So yea it's not realistic. Same with pushing the end of a pole that reaches between planets to produce faster-than-light communication... just no.

    • @JasonKlein97
      @JasonKlein97 8 лет назад +13

      LOL calculus self study. Alright bud. The majority of his viewers are still in middle school and high school so there is no way that they would even have a chance to understand it. A select few would, definitely, but that's not the target audience of this channel. You're thinking from a purely mathematical standpoint, but this is his job. He's gotta think about it from a business standpoint. The easier something is to understand, the more viewers will watch it.

    • @YourFriendtheGeek
      @YourFriendtheGeek 8 лет назад +3

      Calculus is a great way to understand these things, but as Jason said, it will just deter people from watching his videos. In "A Brief History of Time", Stephen Hawking said that for every equation he puts in the book, the sales would decrease by half. So he only ended up putting one, just like Henry didn't use calculus in his video.

      I'm not sure why you're being so dismissive about people understanding calculus - fundamentally, calculus is pretty simple. Derivatives are rates of change, integrals are areas under a curve, the two things are opposites, and everything else is just the working out.
      And besides, some people learn calculus in high school. I learned up to Calculus BC this past year (junior/11th grade).
