She was a bit quick when going over the "Novikov consistency conjecture", probably because it's so much closer to being correct than what many physicists WANT the answer to be. If this conjecture includes the trope of "the universe has some active system preventing past events from being changed" then yeah that part is clearly wrong. But the present is made from the events of the past, including anything a time-traveler did. The gun doesn't jam, because the time traveler can't kill someone who is somehow just meant to survive: the would-be victim survives into the present BECAUSE the time-traveler's gun jammed in the past.

Lately, have been delving into learning more about astrophysics/quantum mechanics - and the RI impresses with every presentation. The lecture format with live demos always manages to offer alternative representations which has influenced my understanding across the videos. Coming from a classical maths background, I particularly enjoyed this one! Thank you for all the hard work putting this together! I still love you Newton ☺

Every so often, I hear a discussion of this level and somehow it brings me an even higher level of enlightenment, curiosity, and inspiration! Amazing presentation, delivery, and insight. I agree with you wholeheartedly in your interpretation. Considering gravity as a force absolutely limited my thought and I hadn't even realized it before hearing you! Don't you worry...I am confident it will catch on very soon. Thank you SO much! All the love and appreciation to you Katy! This completely changed my way of viewing even the things I already knew. I wish you much success and discovery.

When talking about parallel lines, it's generally understood to be about straight lines which, on a sphere, are great circles. So lines of latitude are, on the sphere, curved because they aren't great circles. For example: concentric circles in flat, Euclidean space don't ever meet but are only locally parallel, not globally parallel. If you start two people pointing on lines of latitude and get them to each walk along the great circle in their respective directions they will meet. If you want to "semantically define" parallel according to your preference, that's fine: have a ball.

This is so great Katy, moving in curved time is a really good analogy 👌🏼

Such a wonderful and pleasant explanation, very kind, nice and professional at the same time. Thank you so much

I wonder where that famous desk has gone? Perhaps a little refinishing?

Space time curvature is layer and layer sheet stacked or could it be explained as it’s density change, it is the high density to the low density to balance the spacing evenly. The universe is condense of physic. Therefore its has to balance to the low density as explain as the universe expansion phenomenon.

16:50 - how to explain to 2 galaxies moving away from each other: 1. they have different initial speeds 2. they have different mass 3. they are viewed rotating on a sphere from inside the sphere

Well worth watching for the visualisation of a black hole. The notion that the black hole is an area/volume of spacetime where/when mass density is so great that a singularity is created. In a manner of speaking, it represents the opposite of total vacuum. Thinking about Katy's idea of the universe expanding into the apparently infinite future, works perfectly with looking back into contacting, finite past time. Lastly, it makes sense that continual paths on an evenly curved spacetime must converge but what/where/when is that convergence?

I studied Biochem and Microbiology but been hardcore into Quantum Physics and Cosmology for past few years. And currently I am obsessed with the fundamentals. Hate the Copenhagen Interpretation. There HAS to be A Reason even if that reason does point to why Probability is a Fundamental Building Block. I think if we truly understood these questions it would point to obvious answer in Cosmology. My opinion is Energy itself can only exist in the form of EM Wave. And that the transition of energy to matter around the Big Bang is what gives us the Perception of Time. (What Spacetime is, Why it warps when Matter is present is another crazy ) Therefore if you can see a standing EM Wave you aren't moving Forward In Time. Given that Energy Distribution is the Basis of Entropy. And High Entropy means Hidden Information. Energy itself reveals Information. So it makes no sense to be able to SEE Energy. At the basis of Energy is just Vibrating Quantum Fields. Energy is like a Movie and the Observer Effect is like seeing a slice of that movie. So we see it as Particle Nature. All entropic relations go from High Stable to Low Stable with an intermediate Chaos. That is what we see in the spectrum of Nature between Waves or Energy and Matter or Mass. That Intermediate Chaos, the Probability or what some QM Scientists refer to as Choices that split Realities. Its like a Law of Nature. You cannot have 100% determinism or Energy and Time itself doesn't make sense. Sorry for the rant just drank a really strong coffee. Maybe in 20 years I can hammer down the details the of my Universal Law of Energy, Time and Determinism.

I do actually have a question ... space time is treated as one thing when it is two entities if a wormhole is made on the time fabric we travel through time .. if a wormhole is made through space we travel through space ... how does time behave in the latter ... I assume understanding that will enhance our understanding of how time works. And it seems to me a space wormhole is indeed a blackhole ... what would a timehole look like?

I see gravity as a curvature of causality. Matter has a causal relationship with other matter such as quantum fields interacting, molecular structure, and the more matter there is clumped together, the more complex interactions arise. For example on planetary scales like Earth we get really complex interacting systems like weather, plate tectonics and even life. It seems that the more matter is clumped together, the harder the universe has to work to allow all those interactions to take place, analogous to a really complex 3D simulation in a computer. In that analogy a computer's rendered framerate may drop as the rendering becomes more complex. I believe something similar is happening in the universe, and so to maintain causality and and the constant speed of light at which those interactions occur, the metric which has to bend is the rate at which time flows. For you sitting near a black hole's event horizon time appears to be flowing normally as you're next to an extremely compact clump of matter, but for everyone else it looks like time has slowed down for you, again the lowered framerate analogy. Causality has become curved the closer to the clumped matter. So I think if the universe didn't do this, then the only other metric which nature could alter is to increase the speed of light near clumped matter like overclocking the computer, but this would create causality paradoxes, and obviously this isn't what we observe. Furthermore, particles which don't have mass can't create complex interactions like regular matter, and so they don't curve spacetime at all, but are still affected by the slowdown in causality near matter and so are apparently bent by gravity. So, gravity is in essence the apparent local reduction of the rate of causality relative to flat spacetime in the presence of complexly interacting baryonic particles.

Protest: time do not progress in the empty room. Time is a progression and in empty space there is no progression. There is random energy variations that when you immerse particles in it drive a progression. So the random variations has a spectrum that determine the speed of time when probed. A little like you do not know certain parameters of particles unless you measure them. Is that so difficult?

Unfortunately she used a bad analogy to explain space-time curvature. North is a single point, not a direction. Therefore two people walking north will always meet at the north pole because they started walking towards the same point. What she tried to do was to use north as a direction instead of as a point. So, if two people walk in the same direction starting from two different points, they should never meet each other if space-time was flat.

Katy says spacetime for the Universe overall is curved in the time direction so that galaxies mainly move apart as they go through time. This makes sense to me. However, does this mean from a topological perspective it is like a saddle shape? I had understood from previous readings and videos that it was regarded as mostly flat.

Dr Clough, we need another lecture about what you mentioned in the last minute! :-) Great lecture!

In PicoPhysics the observations leading to some conclusions like space curvature, Potential energy, exploding universe and propagation, reflection and refraction of light are all related to understanding of space. There is a mis-conception about what space is. In PicoPhysics space is the identity that is not Konserved. Konservation is Conservation sans neutralization. Though this characteristic of space can be mathematically/logically established, to make it easier to understand, it is incorporated as Unary law "Space Contains Knergy". With this as fundamental law of nature, we don't need such weird concepts as curvature of space as if space is some rigid curvy identity. Note: No. of spatial dimensions is derived characteristic of space (Non Konserved) in PicoPhysics.

I believe that the analogy of gravity is curvature of space and is not a force. Even if there is an indentation as acurvature of space, if there is no attracting force between two mass then the smaller mass should be able to stand still on the side of the hill. The only reason mass rolls down the hill is because gravity is actively attract the two mass.

it was a great lecture for understanding the universe. the theory seems to explain the universe spacetime. my skeptical views lie in how mater and energy cause the curvature. a star like Sun created its own curvature for other objects ( planets) in sky. during the formation of Sun, it got more energy and mater through the process until the current stage of the Sun where energy and mater are not increasing anymore. spacetime did not say how mater and energy can form a curvature, and can the spacetime theory describe characteristics of curvature?

Understanding space time is very simple. 1 time is perception. 2 time is a number. 3 is form of measurement. So if you understand this space time is magnetic fields flowing at a specific # or time lol

She should've put more effort into explaining what the universe is expanding into.

The earth has limits and is round, we can always go further south than the south pole, it just won't be the south pole anymore. Does the universe also have limits ? If yes (she herself said that's a better question), what's beyond them ? What does the universe expand into ? Is it a container ? Is it wrapping in on itself as she mentioned ? Also she explained how the space-time is curved, she showed a model of space bending to prove it's correct, but then immediately proceeded to say it's actually the time and not space that's curved and gave no information for how now that is suddenly the correct view ???

Space Curvature understanding on the basis of no force acting on the object - raises the question - why do photons move through space. What is the forcing them to move through space. Why they move with constant speed. Conservation of momentum is satisfied if they don't move at all as well. In PicoPhysics you get the answer to this question. The phenomenon (Space-Knergy interaction) that makes Photons move is common to observations leading to conclusions like space curvature, Potential Energy, exploding universe and propagation, reflection and refraction of light.

If at 1 second they are 1 MP + 70 then at negative 1 second they are -1 MP + 70 closer. Hopefully.

no, in weak fields at slow speeds, a moving mass couples to curvature through energy and momentum, but momentum is small, and the energy has big fat mc^2 in it, so the energy couples to time curvature, and....the space curvature is further suppressed by a factor "c", just to make the units work. If you do a linear approximation for small curvature, you get Newton's Law of gravity...it's kind of amazing. In spacetimes where space curvature matters, it's just too complicated to visualize.

Suppose that we need to look into the areas that Einsteinian physics are starting to stray - possibly because the maths required for Einstein's equations is a bit flaky in these newly extended areas and there is some maths that would describe it better, waiting to be found.

Although it’s a month ago for me to see ie a time difference ! From my understanding of the talk, I can only understand that the word space should be killed and realise that we live in time. Time curves, galaxies exist in time. Please, why do we need space ? Period.

Is talking about what happens if you put Mars at the Jupiter-Sun L5 point beyond the limits of astrophysics?

The absolute worst thing in the world is when you see Ad 1 of 2 with no option to skip.

She is awesome. Love her energy and I can tell she enjoys what she does!

I like the visualization in computers as a 3d grid deformed by mass

What is the void that the universe stays in? And can we fill it or escape it? And if the universe has all these holes in it, why is it not deflating?

What a fantastic lecturer. Thanks for taking the time to teach Dr Clough

Wouldn’t it be time creating the impression of 4 dimensions? Space curved as a result of time, not part of spacetime?

A great lecture, what I've seen of it so far at least, but I have to say it really p's me off when Queen Mary staff lie by saying that Queen Mary COLLEGE is a university in its own right. It is not, it is a college of the University of London. Imperial College doesn't call itself Imperial University, University College does not call itself University University. Harumph!

Ì suspect the major obstacle to warp speed travel can be summed up in two words: Colission avoidance! Shalom/gw

47:00 The possible answers to the time-travel paradox, what about, any changes to the past would rewrite the future in every way, except that it wouldn't affect the time traveler: his actions in the past create a tangent, which doesn't affect his past but rewrites the future and the past for everyone else. The time traveler becomes basically an isolated phenomenon, independent of HIS own past, as he knew it. Basically, he created a future where he is not born, however he continues to exist bc his universe, without being one of many universes, will not exist.

If he wasn't born he hasn't travelled to past in the first place.

I was very impressed by this talk. It's not very often that you find someone who calls themselves a scientist who is willing to admit that they actually do know everything and couldn't possibly be wrong (like every other "scientist" who has ever lived). Smart.

don't you mean - do NOT know everything ?

Actually, most scientists accept that they don't know everything and that they could be wrong. That's why they got into science to begin with - there's no point in studying something that you think you already know everything about.
