    @@Happybro91 Earth sucks space, like a vacuum cleaner sucks air. And since sucking is omni-directional, the space speed (relative to Earth surface) is greater near Earth than the speed at high attitude. As a result, a body near the Earth and another body at high attidue moves with different speed through the sucking space. So, according to special relativity, time ticks differently for them. If you'll take a flat infinite surface with uniform gravitational field, there will be no difference in grativy at different attitudes. So, there will be no difference in time flow. In other words, time flows differently at different attitudes because Earth is round.

    The concept of these physics are quite profound. Without time, motion becomes impossible. This also means that motion and speed are affected by gravity in crazy and unexpected ways. Simply being in strong gravitational field does indeed affect aging. So when we “measure” the age of our universe which is expanding, was a year really a year when the universe was more dense? It certainly seems that 1 year very soon after the Big Bang could have actually been thousands or even millions of years relative to a year that we perceive now due to the gravitational affect of so much matter being in a smaller volume of a more compact universe.

    Loved using your relativity series to expand my knowledge and then finally intuitively demonstrate the concept of gravity being a fictional force to my friends. I made the flat spacetime graph, made the cone graph, and a figure to show Einstein's clock in like 15 minutes in a late night discord call. Started with Galileo's transformations on a train to introduce relative velocities, then used a thought experiment about what happens when Galileo lets go of the ball from the leaning tower of Pisa in terms of Newtons first and second laws of motion first from Newton's classical perspective where the ball begins to accelerate due to an applied force, and Einstein's where the ball remains at rest. Using your graphs, I showed how the equivalency principle shows us Einstein's alternative explaination for our observations. It was incredibly fun for everyone and I thank you for your efforts. For the sake of time (pun intended) and my own limited intuition I asked them to accept time dilation and that we observe it now in many ways but I suppose ill be threading in an imaginary space station next time. Its still hard for me to take a leap in this demonstration from objects accelerating toward eachother with zero relative motion to the idea they could accelerate away from eachother without relative motion. Luckily, I live in an area with gravity so I'm confident it happens 😂

    Thank you. Terrific video. I've been saying for some time that spacetime curvature is, in fact simply time dilation. When light travels through space it is always travelling in a straight line from its own point of view and what makes it lens and bend to an observer is in fact time dilation, to keep the velocity of light constant and dilate time to another frame it also passes you effectively curve the distance between them. It's an illusion, spacetime curvature is just a topography of time dilated frames of reference. But this revision of Einstein's explanation using relativistic acceleration explains it much better than I do. Time dilated frames of acceleration reference as topographical gravitation is the term I'll use from now on.

    @Mahesh_Shenoy I have a doubt in your video of train paradox, consider a situation where there is another door/ sensor, before the mid point of tunnel. Then from the train's perspective, the order of doors closing/ sensors receiving messages will be right to left. Now if you look at the same scene with a stationary perspective, you will see that the new door/sensor closes first then the left and right door closes simultaneously. Now let us take the doors/sensors as events 1,2,3 from right to left respectively. Therefore, the order from the train's perspective is 1-> 2-> 3. But from the stationary perspective the order will be 2-> 1=3. So my doubt is that how could the order of events change. Also if there was another train moving opposite to the motion of this train it would see the order of events as 3-> 2-> 1 ( reversed ).

Let's consider a graph of "speed" in a spacetime coordinate system with space in the x-axis and time in the y-axis. Does everything move at a constant speed c (speed of light) in a certain direction? If speed in space (x-axis) is close to 'c' then the time component (y-axis) will be much less. Vice-a-versa if speed in space (x-axis) is 0 then the time component (y-axis) will be maximum?

In a case where there's a disc kept at a certain distance from a sphere horizontally, the centre of the disc is aligned with the centre of the sphere. In this case, even though an observer at the centre would see that the observer near the edge has a clock ticking at a slower rate, how can we possibly explain the slowing down of his clock due to gravity as compared to the slowing down of the clock of the observer near the edge, as the clock at the centre should tick slower than the clock near edge due to high gravitational field?

    Very Good intuition. As far as I know centripetal acceleration is another effect different and independent from space-time curvature. In fact we experience both phenomena here on Earth surface and each contribute (oppositely) to the ''gravity pull'' we feel. Nevertheless, the ''time dilation''' effects adds up. When you explain the different time dilation for different observers on a rotating space station from a ''special relativity frame'', for an outside observer, I thought that for relative time dilation to ''occur'' (and length contraction), the motion has to be in the direction of the observer, not sideways. I may be wrong tough

    In my opinion this explanation is an elusion as usual. It is true that both speed and gravity slows down time keeping but as it has never been explained how a big mass bends space time more than a small mass without having some kind of influence (force) from the mass I can't see why we might not as well use the old explanation. If you have an oscillating (like a pendulum) electro magnetic signal in any cell, atom or even the smallest particle then if it moves it will take longer for the signal to go from one side to the other and back for the oscillation. This will slow down time keeping. The faster the slower but it is not linear. It is there fore no big deal that if gravity influences light (as I believe has been found although I am still skeptical)) and light is an electro magnetic emission then time should be measured slower in a strong gravitational field. Mahesh is very smooth and fast in his explanations just like a magician. One must take it very slowly, stop often to think about it and then verify and I must admit it is difficult. Albert Einstein must have been the same as many of his explanations supposedly where not even his own.

    So Mahesh, when spinning in your ring, the speed varies the farther out you are, but the speed is constant at the point of measurement yes? So you could argue an inertial frame of reference, unless you consider the angular momentum as an acceleration..

I have literally enjoyed the whole series and got a brilliant idea about the whole of the concepts, but I have a topic at the foundation of the ladder. Each and everywhere, at the base, what I get is the light clock analogy. But is there any other way to get an intuition that moving clocks tick slower?

    Maxwell equations => speed of light looks the same for different moving inertial observers => Lorentz transformations to convert between perspectives keeping c intact => observation that with those transformations a moving clock must tick slower, no matter how exactly it works. In other words, it's inevitable if we want speed of light to be the same for everyone.

    @@varunvaswani4562 I'm not sure, what some people find intuitive is often a result of a lot of getting used to, lots of time of absorbing the topic, so it might not feel intuitive to others. The more you learn special and general relativity, how "proper time" works, spacetime intervals and metric tensor, the more you adopt the idea that time clocked along some trajectory in spacetime is a lot like traveled path distance, only computed a bit differently, so the more inclined (not "vertical", where "vertical" is along the time axis) a trajectory path looks in spacetime, the less proper time is accumulated along it.

    ​@@varunvaswani4562To put it bluntly, you are (partially) made from light. You and everything else made from atoms are stuck together with electrostatic forces that propagate at the speed of light. You are trillions and trillions and trillions of microscopic light clocks (and interferometers). By the way, this is why nothing made from atoms can "go faster" than light, because it _already is_ going the speed of light, and you can't go faster than yourself. The question people rarely ask is: Why does anything move *_slower_* than light? And the answer is that inertia comes from confinement. (It's how you derive E=mc²) And this always gets left out of pop-sci entertainment shows about Special Relativity, but understandin inertia is vitally important for understanding relativity.

    They of course "feel" the gravity of the black hole - the gravity of Gargantua is slinging them and Miller's planet around in orbit at relativistic speeds. Just a note of clarity: You can't "feel" gravity is it not a physical force. You can feel surface contact forces that deflect you off your geodesic path, e.g. the astronauts on Miller's planet feel the upward acceleration of the surface, and you can "feel" the consequences of geodesic deviation, e.g. spaghettification.

    I've had a question I'm hoping you'll address about approaching the speed of light or the event horizon of a black hole. The science communicator channels all seem to agree that when your ship exceeds the speed of light you disappear but they don't ever mention red shifting during the process. It seems to me that it wouldn't be an instantaneous switch from visible to gone, and that after the boundary is reached(supposing it were possible) you would red shift into invisibility as your ship accelerated further. From the point of view of the the ship going into the black hole it would look like the rest of the universe was moving on and aging more and more quickly, I think, and an outside observer would see time slow down and stop for the ship then it would appear to fade into infrared until it became undetectable. What are your thoughts? Edited for clarity*

    The first part is unclear, specifically, what you're talking about when referencing matter moving at or faster than the speed of light. A ship approaches the horizon, the distant observer will observe the luminosity and frequency to sharply decrease and the ship vanishes.

    Yeah, the red-shift happens exactly in proportion to the time dilation _because they are exactly the same thing_ A lot of pop-sci entertainment explanations of relativity are bad because their sources are other pop-sci explanations, and it's a big game of telephone and no one ever bothers to actually read a physics textbook.

    I find that the rotating spaceship model is very helpful with the occupants undergoing different amounts of angular acceleration so they each experience an accelerating frame of reference. Einstein says that you cannot distinguish between acceleration due to gravity from any other accelerating frame of reference that was his insight and it took until 1919 to show he was right

    When you said that it's indistinguishable between acceleration of gravity and acceleration of any other type. Actually this holds true for only point masses. Because if you take a solid object, or even a planar object, the gravitational gradient would vary at different points of spatial coordinates of that object if it were not to be zero-dimensional. So hence that statement is not completely correct. Indeed, a person standing on Earth experiencing the g-force of 9.8 at his feet would weigh slightly less compared to a person who's accelerating at 9.8 meters per second inside a spaceship through deep space without any other forces acting on him. And it's again different compared to if a person is standing on the surface facing inwards inside a centrifuge that is rotating.

    I've stumbled across one gap in the explanation that bugs me. In the spaceship, what really caused the time dilation isn't acceleration as such, it's speed. So to understand why gravity “causes” time dilation, we have to show that massive bodies somehow make everything nearby “move” faster. You've hinted at a solution out by showing that motion is a way to combine acceleration with constant distances, but it would be great if there were a way to demonstrate it more directly.

    You can imagin it like space itself is flowing inward towards the center, like water into a sink hole. When you are not resisting the flow you are under a free fall. And you are moving with your local spacetime but when you are on a surface standing, then you feel the force down at your feet , here you are resisting the flow of space hence you are moving through space , also the faster you move through your spacial dimension the slower you move through the time dimension.

    It's more precise to say that the Earth is _compressed_ and what you feel as a human is resistance to compressing whatever you're standing on. If your body was dense enough you could sink into rock, cement, and metal just like you can sink into snow or mud. (Skyscrapers need a special foundation to avoid sinking into the ground, for example.) When you have a latex balloon full of air, and you squeeze it between your hands, the balloon pushes back against your hands. It's the same as with the Earth. (The latex of the baloon being gravity in this analogy.) The air in the baloon is accelerating your hands outwards.

If I am watching a person near a black hole, and one way out in space, they should both age 24 hours on my clock if I watch them for 24 hours right? Just never understood how one covering more distance affected time. Time is only particles moving position, even objects setting dead still have subatomic and atomic particles, cells, etc. moving all over. So does heavy gravity just slow ALL particle movements?
