How Fast Is It - 05 - General Relativity II - Effects (1080p) old

Text at howfarawayisit.com/documents/
Music free version • General Relativity II ...
In this segment of the “How Fast Is It” video book, we cover the effects of general relativity and how they differ from what Newton’s gravity predicts. Our first effect is the orbit of Mercury that precesses more than Newtonian gravity predicts. To understand the non-Euclidian space that Mercury orbits in, we introduce the Schwarzschild metric and compare it to the Minkowski metric for flat space-time. We illustrate the positive curvature around the Sun using concentric circles with shrinking circumferences. We then show how this slight difference in curvature produces additional movement in the precessing perihelion of Mercury’s orbit that exactly fits the measured number. Our next effect is the bending of light. We cover Arthur Eddington’s famous measurement during a total eclipse of the Sun and show how the amount of starlight bending matched Einstein’s calculations better than Newton’s. We extend this bending effect to show how Einstein Rings and gravitational lensing work. And we show how this effect tips over light cones and changes world-lines. Our third effect is gravitational time dilation. We show how it works and cover how our GPS uses it. We also cover the Pound-Rebka experiment used the Mossbauer Effect to showed how this time dilation impacts gravitational redshift. We also illustrate how this effect resolves the Twin Paradox we introduced in the Special Relativity segment. Our final implication involves frame-dragging. To understand this effect, we introduce the Kerr Metric that covers rotating energy densities that literally drag space along with them. We use Gravity Probe B to illustrate how it works and how it is measured. We finish with an in depth look at the black hole in the movie Interstellar.

    Seen this one before but, like other ones in your series of video books, I enjoy seeing them over & over and, as with many things I see a 2nd, 3rd time, etc. I almost always find or notice things that I didn't catch the 1st time. I was away from my PC for 2-3 months - just not in the mood for it - did a lot of reading instead during that time. But, when I did check back in, I noticed that you had started with a new video book - "How Old is It?" - I see that there are only, I think, 3 of them, including its introduction. I don't think it's a complete one (or is it?) - my question: are you going to have any more of this series (the "How Old Is It?" video book)? Or, are you doing any other new stuff? I certainly hope so. Your stuff is some of the best work I've found on You Tube or just about any other source on the internet. Much more enlightening and not so dumbed down like so many of the space documentary shows that appear on You Tube - "The Universe" is one example: always the exact same talking heads chattering away, making simple analogizing about the subject the show is covering. I was able to take a couple of those, but not too long into it, I started getting tired of seeing the same people oversimplifying things. i mean, that's great for, say, a science class for 6th or 7 graders, but it starts to get grating for those who want something more challenging. This is why I love your series - they're very intelligent but they can also be followed quite easily - e.g, you don't need a PhD to understand. And I love your use of music - great pieces!! Hope to see more stuff from you in the future!!

    18:15 also need to take into account leaving earth and the acceleration involved for that action. It would seem that centrifugal forces also equate to gravitational, and acceleration time dilation? So if the space ship used a slingshot return from Vega, then the centrifugal forces and gravitational forces would seem to have some cancellation of time dilation?

    I wanted to say "thank you," and leave it at that. But that seems so inadequate in light of how much I, as an interested non-scientist, enjoyed your work. I enjoyed how you clarified the history & discovery of variable space and time (pre-Einstein). I think popular media misled me to believe that Einstein was the first to break with the presumptions of time and space as constants. I also appreciated how you included more of the details of the respective experiments. Finally, your explanation of the Gargantuan black hole was perfect, for me. So, THANK YOU!! (...still inadequate.)

    First of all, let me congratulate you on the wonderful work you have accomplished. And gravitational waves have been recently observed by the LIGO observatory. (Feb 2016). The question I have is, that will the acceleration caused by electric charges lead to time dilation as well? If I were a charged object in an electric field, will my clock tick slower? And if it does, should charge too be looked at as a distortion in space time? Thanks for taking time out to go through the comment, and for all your good work. :-)

    +Professor Chaos LegionOfDoom Professor, In our example, the elevator is being accelerated by rocket power. The situation would be the same if electric charges were the cause of the acceleration. The gravitational effects are not dependent on the force that create the acceleration. Neither the rocket engine nor the electric charge in these examples would be considered a distortion of space-time in their own right. Does this answer your question?

    For the graphic at minute 12:06 - If the 2 clocks are in the elevator, both fixed in place relative to each other, wouldn't they both experience the exact same acceleration from the brackets that holds them in place? Doesn't that differ greatly from actually being at "different distances from a source of gravity?" Would the previous example of the "Falling constellation of balls" be a better representation? Both being fixed together in the elevator with one source of acceleration gives them both the same "gravitational" force vectors. No???

    Suppose after the ship reached Vega, after looking around for a day, the twin takes off from Vega with the same acceleration but moving away from Earth for 35 days. For the deceleration coming into Vega, Earth was at the top of the gravity well. Now for the acceleration away from Vega (and away from Earth) Earth is at the bottom of the gravity well. Would this reverse the time dilation?

    David great videos thanks. Some questions on the formula for GTD - why is the whole GF on Vega used at 98m/s^2 and not the Net difference between that and Earth's 9.8m/s^2 ? If I understand this concept correctly only the net difference between the two fields will actually dilate time relatively? I also note that those two GFs are pulling in opposite directions, which suggests that some Calculus is required to correctly assess the whole of the transitionary periods throughout the voyage. I wonder if perhaps an Integral or Differential function of both "a" and "d" in the formula used (1 + ad/c^2) may give a more accurate appraisal of a true time dilation outcome? I'd be thrilled if you were able to clarify any of the above - albeit I have no idea how I'd hope to know if you did respond, perhaps an email at gswizz@live.com.au ? But I would appreciate any answer being posted here if possible? I'm sure I'm not the only one to ponder on this. Many thanks again for great videos.

    +Garry Short Good question. The way I looked at it was that (from the twin on Earth's view) the clock on the ship went from ticking at one rate due to the ships velocity to ticking at a different rate due to the ships acceleration. During the process, the gravitational field on Earth remained constant. This gave me simplifying assumptions that simplify the equations. More complex (more accurate) analysis is possible, but it doesn't shed any new light on the basics. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.

    Quick question David, if the universe is expanding, does that include the Higgs Boson field? If it does, then like sound waves lose more energy as it travels through less air molicules, would light do the same thing? If this is true, would this be one of the reasons we can only see a "visible" universe? Because light travels at a finite speed, that would mean we have not seen light that is already billions of years old. That light contains information we have yet to see, perhaps the universe on its outer most edges, if I can call it that, will yeild information that might say the expansion has an end, and gravity has turned the expansion around? Is this possible? Your fan, snow.

    Light waves do lose energy as space expands. This is the cosmological redshift we use to see how far away distant galaxies are. And you are correct to assume this has an impact on how far we can see. There is light that has not and will not ever get to us. I am working on the Big Bang Cosmology video. It should be ready in a few months.

A proper application of Einstein's elevator gedanken tells us that a photon passing the Sun follows an S kind of traject, not a U type of traject. 1. The first problem is that according to a proper application of Einstein's silly elevator gedanken the bending of light approaching & brushing the Sun would be 0.438 arcsec, & when the light reaches Earth's orbit, on the far side of the Sun, the bending would be 0.875 arcsec, not Einstein's claimed 1.75 arcsec. The silly elevator gedanken gives us no more than the equivalent of the well known ballistic bending calculated by Soldner. The theoretical 1.75 arcsec is only obtained if including theoretical assumptions not existing in or near a theoretical elevator. This was obvious to me from the first. And i see that Paul Marmet pointed it out in a paper in 1999 -- Incompatibility between Einstein's General Relativity and the Principle of Equivalence. But i don’t want to go into any of that today. 2. Marmet (& everybody else) missed seeing another problem for Einstein. Marmet made the same mistake as Einstein. They both looked at a beam or a ray of light. Me myself i looked at the individual photons in the beam, & the photons told me that Einstein goofed. I usually think of a photon as being a cylinder, but today i will call it an arrow. Hence a pencil of light is a straight line of parallel arrows. If we look at individual photons in the pencil crossing the elevator then every photon/arrow is parallel to its initial alignment at all times. The pencil appears dead straight for an outside observer, at all times, no matter whether the elevator is stationary or moving or accelerating. So, the pencil of light crossing the elevator consists of say horizontal arrows. For an inside observer the pencil appears to bend down (the elevator is accelerating up), but the arrows nonetheless remain horizontal (for the inside observer)(& for the outside observer). Nextly we apply the elevator gedanken to a pencil passing the Sun. Now, Einstein was happy to use one elevator, & he was happy to use one pencil & one bend. But, lets look at our one pencil crossing millions of elevators, each accelerating radially away from the Sun. Each time a photon/arrow crosses an elevator its traject (ie the pencil) bends down, but the arrow retains its initial orientation. No matter how many elevators the arrow crosses it retains its initial orientation. The traject of an arrow can be drawn as a downwards bending arc, as the arrow approaches & reaches its closest point to the Sun. The arc curves upwards after the arrow passes the Sun. The 2 arcs form a kind of S curve. The arrow ends up flying parallel to its initial direction, but offset a distance (due to falling towards the Sun). At all times the arrow retains its initial orientation, for ever. The above describes a proper application of Einstein's silly elevator gedanken. Einstein didn’t know about photons. He merely looked at a ray/beam/pencil of light. And he came up with a U traject. No, his silly gedanken gives an S traject.

    Now, if the photon/arrow was moving tangentially to the Sun as it passed (by definition), then we can draw a centerline passing throo the center of the Sun parallel to that tangent. A simple examination of the traject for an arrow shows that it can never cross the centerline. When or if the arrow eventually enters the last elevator, the elevator at or next to the centerline, the acceleration of the elevator will be parallel to the arrow. The arrow will never get to the far wall. Or if u like it gets to the far wall at infinity. But it can never cross the centerline. So, the arrow traject bends towards the Sun on approach, in a ballistic way, & then is parallel to the Sun at closest approach, & after passing the Sun the traject must reverse, such that the arrow never reaches the centerline. Hence the traject follows an S kind of traject. The arrow at some time reaches a point of closest approach to the centerline, & then diverges away & leaves the centerline, & much later its traject becomes nearnuff parallel to its original traject, albeit displaced sideways towards the Sun. Hence, according to a proper application of Einstein's elevator gedanken, it will be difficult to see an Einsteinian Ring if we are located at/near the point of convergence. The point of convergence is the place where the pencil of light entering your eye is propagating parallel to a line drawn/running from your eye to the center of the say super massive galaxy. At/near the point of convergence we might see a ring, but it will appear to be at/near the center of the super massive galaxy, hence if the super massive galaxy is very bright the ring will be difficult or impossible to see. And, according to a proper application of Einstein's elevator gedanken, there can be no visible ring effect if we are located very far beyond the point of convergence. Here the pencils of light are very much diverging from each other. According to a proper application of Einstein's elevator gedanken, there can be a visible ring effect if we are located closer than the point of convergence. Here the pencils of light are converging. But, the ring might be inside the area of the super massive galaxy (ie difficult to see). The above wordage of mine is not meant to describe what actually happens to light passing the Sun - it merely describes a proper application of silly Einstein's silly elevator gedanken (re his silly bending of light).

    I have a question. if gravity causes curvature in space-time, does electromagnetism also cause a different type of curvature in space-time? Also, is there a such thing as a magnetic hole that has a magnetic field so powerful that anything with a charge will not be able to escape it, even travelling at light speed? It would be the same thing as a black hole, but instead of infinite gravity, it would have infinite magnetism.

The matter in a black hole can have charge and be spinning. So strong magnetic fields are expected. But such a field has no effect on uncharged particles.

Do I see a big bang coming out or see the SINGULARITY? Do I see the bottom of a black PAN? Or, are things also being sucked inside the hole on both (opposite) sides of the black hole?? No one talks about a view from (the other side) below a black hole... and WHY not ?? !!! In other words, since the Milk Way is a "flattened" spiral disk, and If I fly on one side (below) the Milk Way galaxy, and YOU fly on the other side (above), and we both go towards the CENTER of the Milk Way to LOOK AT THE BLACK HOLE, then on one side you'd see everything falling INTO the black hole. But I would see the OTHER SIDE of the center of Milk Way spiral (below), would I ALSO see everything falling INTO the black hole... OR would I see things coming OUT ??

    Given E = mc^2, then how does this equation relate to black holes? If E = mc^2 does not apply to black holes, is this due to the nature of space-time of a black hole? That is, how does space-time relate to energy and matter in E = mc^2, if at all? If energy/mass is being concentrated into warped space-time, how is space-time explained in the equation E = mc^2 ?? Black holes may be extremely cold (near absolute zero) to us from the outside, but if the gravity of the black hole swallows up all matter and energy, then how do we know that all that mass and energy inside, which cannot escape the event horizon and is trapped inside, is not in fact extremely hot inside? How do we know what the temperature is just inside of the event horizon? If there is no radiation emitted by the black hole, then what are the astrophysical jets that come from the black hole?

    @@howfarawayisit Let me rephrase it in a more simple way: Is E=mc^2 valid with black holes? How do black holes convert mass into energy? Articles about LIGO discovery state that some percentage of mass from black hole mergers is converted into energy, resulting in a black hole that is smaller than the sum of the original mergers. They found two black holes - of 36 and 29 solar masses - merging together to create a new black hole of 62 solar masses. Where did the other 3 solar masses (about 5% of the total system's mass) go? Into the energy of gravitational waves? So, it isn’t that the black holes are losing mass but that the total amount of energy in spacetime is transforming from one form (in two well-separated, unbound masses) to another form (a single, tightly bound mass plus gravitational radiation). How does this process happen? If in the very last second of the merger is where most energy is released (in the form of gravitational waves), then these gravitational waves are pure energy (not particles of any kind)? It is accepted that nothing escapes black holes. So: how is energy radiated from black hole mergers? How are these gravitational waves able to escape black holes? Thank you very much for your videos.

There’s a talk on the Hubble telescope channel about BH’s and the speaker showed some pictures of jets that shot clear across their galaxies and several thousand light years. This leads to star formation or sometimes has the opposite affect blowing the material out of the galaxy. They also emit gas upon collapse so I assume some of that collapse loss happens with 2 BH’s.

    i dont get why Einstein is given so much prestige particularly when theory of relativity already existed and he didn't create it or come up with it. he only did what any smart person could have eventually done i.e. work on the previously known data and make adjustments to it so it may be additionally corrected... its not as if he perfected it and we can call it Fact of relativity... its still a theory at the end of the day. Sure his additions brought it closer to completion but all his work is based upon previously studied and already established works of another person and its that person who actually came up with relativity we should give precedence to!

    You state that the halfway point is the interesting point where the ship begins decelerating at 98 m/s squared. The ship then comes to a halt and reverses in 35 days continuing acceleration for 35 days to regain .99c. How is this the halfway point since the ship has travelled more than 12.5 years to reach halfway ?? If we decelerate at the halfway point at 98 ms squared, we will slow to 0 but we won't nearly reach Vega. In resolving the time difference due to acceleration (pseudo-gravitational field?) you use the difference as (1+ ad/c squared). Why is d = 25 light years, the distance to Vega? If we travelled to a star 50 light years away we would still require 70 days to decelerate and accelerate and this is the period used to resolve the twin paradox. Why isn't d the distance travelled during the 70 day acceleration.

    Thanks for the reply. I truly enjoyed all of your videos.But, I guess the twin paradox must remain, somewhat, paradoxical to me. I can wrap my head around the conflict of how both twins think the others clock is running slower during constant velocity; their view of simultaneous differs. I can also grasp how an accelerating frame of motion makes the time slow down and differ for only the travelling twin since the instantaneous velocity change is unique to them. But, the pseudo gravitational force necessary to counterbalance the rockets thrust during deceleration (allowing the traveler to assume they are stationary) and how this pseudo-gravity affects the stay at home twin; greatly affecting time 25 light years away escapes me (25 years later since no message can go faser than c). But this is what the t' = (1+ad/c**2) equation means if d is the distance between the twin during the 70 days of acceleration.
