And a ns correspond to one clock period of a GHz clock. In a 3GHz processor the signals move 10cm per clock (or actually some 7cm). Incredibly fast. It is really great engineering work in there. And cheap enough for most people to have, even more impressing.

light can only run 30cm in a nanosecond, that's super slow, like come on. 30cm is nothing, the GPU is 4cm away from the CPU, you already lost like 16 cycles of latency from the round-trip, for a machine running at 4GHz, 30cm/ns is kinda slow. can you imagine if all electromagnetic waves traveled 6000Km in a nanosecond ? I could have the RAM of my computer in Germany and my CPU computer in the US and it would work without losing any performance. or even better, I could make a CPU core the size of a 40 inch television, which would be amazingly powerful, or I could make a super big CPU that runs at 100Ghz without it literally being hotter than the Sun core, because instead of packing billions of transistors in 2sqcm, it can be bigger and less dense, and without having problems with clock propagation and synchronization, because electromagnetic fields travel faster now. Well, theoretically I can already make a computer in "normal light speed", but then it needs to be an asynchronous digital device, which is hell to make, computers without clock are super hard to engineer, but can you even imagine having to consider relativistic effects when designing a CPU ? lol.

@Logarithm906

Is that factoring in that a CPU *cycles* at 3GHz? It's on, off, on, off. Meaning if your processor is on 50% of the time and off 50% of the time, you're really only getting 5cm to work with (though I suppose you could be killing the power while you're still waiting for the output...)

I wish all teachers said that last sentence (if you're traveling 670 mil mph, light is still traveling 671 mil FASTER). It cuts right to the chase, and immediately forces you think of relativity differently.

Nick, I have a physics question not related to the video: According to Newton's third law, when we are stood on the surface of the Earth, there is an equal and opposite reaction force coming from the centre of the Earth equal and opposite to our weight. When we are in free fall or jumping into a swimming pool, are we still experiencing a reaction force from the centre of the Earth, if we are is it still equal and are the two forces balanced? Is it only a Newton's third law pair if we are stood on the surface? Like if a book is on a shelf, it is experiencing it's weight on the shelf, and a reaction force from the shelf, and it's weight to the centre of the Earth? Where is the effect of the reaction force on the book from the Earth? Or if anyone could answer that would be helpful.

I like trig. You should do a series on it. Your teaching style would make anyone interested. Most people don't realize how clever and cool it really is. It's technically the study of triangles, but really, it STARTS with right triangles, expands to all triangles via the unit circle, then expands to curves via the graphs of the trig functions (sine and cosine especially, but most of not all of them graph as some sort of curve). Even when you are using trig to figure something out that requires using the trig functions directly on a right triangle (these are easiest trig problems that you get at the beginning of a trig course), there isn't usually a physical triangle. Rather, you imagine a triangle. In short, trig sounds like it's not very useful or interesting because it's just about triangles and functions, but that's really only the beginning -- It goes way beyond that and can be very useful in a variety of circumstances. If you've got no idea what I've been talking about, don't worry. This post is aimed at people who already have a basic understanding of trig, but don't realize how cool it can be. If you want a good introduction to trig, I recommend betterexplained.com, mathisfun.com, and Khan academy.

The behavior of light is one of those things I have to accept but will probably never truly grok.

It's key to mention the time dilation here, as that's what really makes the 100% speed of light always the same speed for every observer. Relativity explains all those observations, but people often forget that it doesn't really say the the third person observer and two "relatively stationary" points observer reference isn't valid. And because such third person observer can describe what makes sense from outside the scope of the moving observers (of course, still the whole scope can be moving, but it changes nothing) it gives you a sensible connection to classic physics. And that is, that light going 100% SOL from the pov of the "stationary" source and target is going only a tiny bit faster than an object going 99,999%, to be precise it will only be 0,001% faster than that object, and the time of them reaching the target will correspond to that (time measured let's say at the middle of the experiment, synced with source and target time. So it's only the internal scope of the object going 99,999% where the light appears to go 100% SOL faster than it is going, and the reason for this is that time dilation on objects with mass at that speed will slow down it's clock by 99,999something%, causing that 0,001% SOL speed difference (from the outside observer pov), appear to be 100% SOL from the fast moving object pov. Of course, as far as relativity goes, all of us could be moving 99,9999% SOL right now and in theory we would not be able to notice that, so in that sense a "stationary" observer makes no sense, but an outside, third person observer, makes perfect sense still.

It is not „intuitive“ 😳 if one forgets that both the measurement of distance 📏and time ⏱are diminished for an observer who (as you have done) chooses to consider himself in motion 🚀as compared to a designated „stationary“ 🛌 reference frame. If one remembers that velocity is a ratio ⚖️ of measured distance over measured time 📏/⏱ then the smaller distance over the smaller time will be the same as for an observer in the „stationary“ frame- the „dilation“ 🎛 factor for both distance and time is the same and cancels out of the ratio- that is why both observers, „stationary“ and „moving“, will measure light speed to be the same; just as 4/6 equals 2/3. Velocity is a “comparison” 🍎🍎🍎 vs 🍊🍊🍊🍊between two measurements: a distance measurement and a time measurement- it is a derived concept from more fundamental principles. What is not intuitive is that the measurement of distance and time for observers who are moving relative to each other would be different; one just doesn’t experience these differences in their usual day to day interactions 🏄🏽‍♂️🤸🏼‍♀️🎳 unless perhaps one works at a particle accelerator! 👩🏼‍🏭💫 Newton (reasonably) assumed that measurements of time and distance would be absolute for any and all observers and it is this unquestioned assumption that stiffled the thinking of scientists for centuries until Maxwell’s successful electrodynamics contradicted Newton’s mechanics by predicting a universal speed for his electromagnetic wave〰️. It was Einstein’s “Special Relativity” that resolved that conflict but at the expense of the false assumption that measurements of space and time are absolute and universal. Relativity is demanded if the “Laws of Physics” 🏛📜 are to be the same for observers 👀 in all moving frames of reference.🚲🚂🎡🛩🛸 Maxwell’s electrodynamics would itself be soon be challenged as scientists attempted to make sense of the behavior of light and matter 🌈💡and began to develop atomic theory🤹🏻‍♂️; it is of course Quantum Theory 🎲🎲 that resolved the conflict between the implications of Maxwell’s electrodynamics and physical reality- atoms don’t collapse on themselves 🌀 and the universe continues to exist. 🦋 Ironically it was the great Einstein’s own stubborn adherance to the false assumption that reality is deterministic and that the properties of particles are preexisting that stifled the latter half of his scientific career.

It's like you can sail from Pakistan to East Russia by moving straight, not turning left or right. This seems crazy on any 2D map but if you take a globe and watch straight paths on it, you can see how it's possible.

What's really amazing is just fast light is compared to any speed we can even imagine (the fastest manmade object is some kind of rocket that goes something like 0.034% the speed of light) and yet, if you consider just how vast even the *observerable* universe is, it's actually pretty slow -- heck the nearest galaxy to us is *25,000* lightyears away. That means that, even if we could travel at lightspeed -- which is physically impossible, unless there's something seriously wrong with our understanding of physics -- it would still take *25,000* years just to get to the *nearest* galaxy! 🤯🤯🤯

I heard someone pointing out that measurement of light speed to and from may introduce some kind of problem becouse of implicit assumptiont that in both ways l. travels with the same speed. How relevant is this problem?

SPOILER ALERT: Really Fast.

Great video! Thanks!

Please LIKE SO HE CAN SEE. Next video can you talk about space-time ? The are so many questions that science channels dont talk about. What is made of ? How it came to exist ?? Can be fabricated someway? How space-time can move faster tham light ? And how can the universe keep making more space-time in the expansion ? Thx a lot! Love your videos! This channel is a hidden gem.

I saw this. That is a lot of questions. 1) Space-time isn't _made_ of anything. It just is. 2) Space is not fabricated. It just gets bigger over time. 3) Space expansion doesn't travel faster than light. People need to stop saying that. Technically speaking, velocity (speed) is poorly-defined on those scales.

The Science Asylum thank you for clarifying! =) I just dont get how something that is "nothing" can bend/stretch/be afected by gravity.

Glauco S : Hi, Your puzzlement is also something that bothered me for years as I, as a layman, attempted to understand what I was reading in popular writings about curved space-time. I would like to share here some insights that helped me resolve the puzzle: Space-Time isn’t “nothing” in the sense that it exists. Together with matter it can be thought of as two legs of the “holy trinity” of Physics: Matter-Space-Time that defines all of physical reality. Space as an aspect of fundamental reality has an identity and a specific nature and particular properties. Our naive conception of “space” being “nothing” comes from the idea of so called “empty space”: a void containing no matter or energy and this does not actually exist! The idea of space being “nothing” also comes from the mathematical abstraction by the same name. Concepts of area and volume are useful and meaningful but they are abstractions of reality and not replacements for reality. The concept of “empty” can be used to describe common things in our experience such as perhaps an empty box 📦 that had previously contained breakfast cereal. We use such analogies to attempt to grasp the concept of space itself setting aside for a moment the fact that the quite material cardboard sides define the limits of a volume of space within the box. The box is said to be “empty” of cereal. One can then carry the analogy further and imagine the box empty of air (a vacuum) and the walls becoming ever less material until the box itself is imagined as just the eight points defined by the geometrical vertices of the original box. This simplification is an imaginative mathematical abstraction, a concept, an idea. Real space and time have no meaning without matter and energy. [Crudely said, that is why they burst into existence simultaneously with the Big Bang.] Quantum Physics describes real space as filled with oscillating “fields” of possibility/probability which are sometimes described as “seething foams” of “virtual” particles coming into and out of existence and General Relativity describes how mass-energy bends space-time and how bent space-time effects the dynamics of matter-mass-energy. . The main point I am trying to drive home here in my own clumsy rambling style is that in order to understand something humans use analogies abstracted from our perceptions of reality. Given the success and power of this strategy we sometimes forget that the conceptual abstractions are not themselves the reality we are trying to understand and explain; they are just the only thing we have with which to do so. In conclusion: whatever “space-time” is, one of its properties is that it is bend by the presence of mass-energy; the mathematics of General Relativity describe exactly how much.

Chris Lieding thx! Thats very helpful !

Those lightning bolt SFX reminded me to like the video. Classy.

Beautiful explained

Light is some dope stuff.

Whats the music at the part when rockets were accelerating? I really like the music.

Awesome vid as always :) Since straight paths are not parallel, does it mean that even at very low speeds, given enough time, you would observe relativistic effects? It would be nice to get an explanation on how we can measure lightspeed and very short amounts of time cheaply and effectively (e.g. a laser meter) Also about the laser meter, I suppose relativity has no role because the light emitter and receiver are on the same frame of reference. Correct?

Yes, given enough time, relativistic effects would become important for accuracy... but "enough time" would be an _enormous_ amount of time.

Can we manipulate energy somehow to get so much of it so that we can accelerate to the speed of light And if we are going with a finite acceleration the we can eventually reach the s.o.l after some time

No. Stuff with rest mass will never go the speed of light. The only way to go the speed of light is to remove rest mass (become light).

I have a question about a light year. In the video you mentioned that, for anything not traveling the speed of light, light will always be traveling the speed of light, toward you or away from you. Being that time is relative, does that mean our measurement of how far light travels in one year changes depending on if the observer is stationary on earth, moving on earth, or in outer-space because each measurement of a year is different for each scenario?

It's from the KZread Creator Music Library. It's a free song KZread made available to everyone. I just picked it because I thought it fit with my channel.

I'm going to make a generalized statement C is part of the cause and effect chain, entropy is what has happened during the amount of time it took for an effect to reach the cause. People can not "change" the effect, but they can learn from it (free will) and do something next time that causes a better outcome. The outcome is the solution to a cause and effect and is not final until that information has "reached" the "actor" or in physics which work but not in any decision making way is where the possibilities of the outcome come from. :)

Entropy more classically defined as the distortion an object experiences as it exchanges virtual photons while moving through time. In this explanation you can visualize what happens as space-time conserves a "still" body" more than a moving one because the virtual photons *must* be able to interact, as one approaches C space-time will not be able to conserve the mass yes, but it is the |information|. This is obviously just a small portion of Thermodynamics.

Is there a way to draw that space-time diagram so that the angles won’t be distorted?

How about the frame of reference from one light particle/wave traveling in the opposite direction of another light particle/wave? Are they moving away from each other faster than the speed of light with respect to each other?

This kind of analysis would not work. A person, rocket, and a planet all have a rest frame; a physical frame of reference in which they are at rest, from which you can take measurements and make calculations. Light does not have a rest frame

I'm laughing and learning at the same time. Thanks!

To answer your last question, light is super crazy. But as you’ve taught me, it’s okay to be a little crazy.

5:30 "Some crazy distortion." (Me: 🤔 "got that right..." )

When you switch on a light, do the photons accelerate from zero to the speed of light? If there is no acceleration how do we get light at all. I understand the massless issue from the condensed equation of M=E/C^2, to get to the speed of light mass has to equal zero. What I don't grasp is even without mass how does a photon move from a relative 0 velocity to 100% the speed of light at the flick of a switch.

From the moment a photon exists, it is traveling at the speed of light. There is no acceleration. It is never traveling less than the speed of light.

please make a video for the question "what is space and how we define it?"

Your every video is mind blowing
