Full podcast episode: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppiqmdRrerbVm6w.html Lex Fridman podcast channel: kzread.info Guest bio: Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist, author, and host of Mindscape podcast.

I once read in Michio Kaku's book Einstein's Cosmos that Einstein was nominated eight times for his GR but the main problem always was that nobody in the Noble Prize Physics committee was able to understand the theory, which was really controversial at the time and most physicists rejected it, and that there was always the fear that the theory may turn out to be wrong.

Read Robert Marc Friedman's article, "The 100th Anniversary of Einstein's Nobel Prize: Facts and Fiction." In fact most physicists overwhelmingly accepted relativity as a tremendous achievement at the time. The committee, however, strongly opposed relativity for reasons that continue to be debated, and they cited various critics of relativity, who even at the time were clearly presenting poor arguments that better-qualified physicists had refuted.

What is the relative velocity between 2 photons moving away from a light-source in opposite directions?

He asked about the relative speed of two photons moving in opposite directions, according to any observer. What he's asking - I think - is "what is the increase in spatial coordinates per unit proper time according to an arbitrary observer's restframe?" The answer is 2c. ​@@larrends8297

@NaushadAli-wc4gj

21 күн бұрын

here's the twist: when you have two photons flying away from each other like fireworks, saying their relative speed is exactly 2c is a bit tricky. Imagine trying to ride alongside one photon to see how fast the other one appears to be moving - that's not possible according to the laws of physics. Nothing, not even another photon, can travel alongside light in the same exact way. So, the key point is this: if you're watching from the outside, the distance between those two photons will increase at a rate of 2c. That's what we can measure. This doesn't break the speed limit though, because it's not the speed of one photon relative to the other, but rather how fast they seem to be separating from each other. It's all about perspective!

@jonathanlindqvist2608

@@NaushadAli-wc4gj "if you're watching from the outside, the distance between those two photons will increase at a rate of 2c." Exactly! Of course, there is no frame where the photon is at rest, so I figured OP was asking about the rate of change of distance between the photons according to an arbitrary inertial observer. All inertial observers will agree that the two photons move apart at 2c, in that sense. But you are right about being careful with our words. The speed of one photon isn't relative to the other photon *according to the photon.* Arguably the relative speed between them would be infinite, but that is also a strange physical interpretation of a question that just doesn't make sense. As soon as the photon leaves, it arrives at its destination, using this naive and overextended interpretation of space contraction and time dilation. Meaning it moves infinitely fast. Meaning everything moves infinitely fast relative to it. Again, assuming that claim actually made physical sense.

I’ve read that he didn’t win the Nobel Prize for General Relativity because nobody (except maybe Eddington) understood it.

❤ Where is the scientific interest and curiosity for new experiences? BIG ERROR in measuring the Universe, black holes, dark energy,... Let me judge all this by the result of a direct experiment, gentlemen of physics Let's do the Michelson-Morley experiment on a school bus and determine the speed in a straight line - this is exactly the experiment Einstein dreamed of. Perhaps we will see the postulates: “Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and Dominant gravitational fields control the speed of light in a vacuum.” There is a proposal for the joint invention of a HYBRID gyroscope from non-circular, TWO coils with a new type of optical fiber with a “hollow core”, where - the light in each arm passes along 16,000 meters, without exceeding the parameters of 0.4/0.4/0.4 meters and mass - 4 kg.

I am very clear with my physics. I extend Einstein to E=TC^2. For a proton that means the quantum energy contained within its quantum triangle potential is Qep=TC^2. The relationship between mass and energy needs to be clarified. EMR in the three tau structure of my proton (Smith-Borden model) creates mass. My theory comports with the Law of Conservation of Energy and explains why the universe is a perpetual mechanism. Time is quantum locked in my proton model. Welcome to my Smith-Borden physics. No 10 dimensions; just two in black hole and three in normalized space. Time is quantum entropy that expresses itself in normalized space of 1.673x10^-4rad•S.U.^2. No. I can start from the beginning of time created by a local clock. You can't beat my theory of everything

@@ilevitatecs2 The Schrödinger can be expressed in quantum energy rather than a matter wave. My proton three tau structure quantum locks time; thus each T can be interpreted as a standing, non-time dependent wave-function Wpot. The Wkin is only expressed when the quantum locked T is projected into 3D normalized space through fusion, neutron decay etc. In my theory a neutron decays into a proton by releasing captured energy by the T structure into normalized space. Feynman would give a photon and neutrino. I'm saying they are EMR emanations from 2D quantum field into normalized space that appears massive but isn't. Again this is a clarification of the relationship between mass and energy.

@@Rio-zh2wb Both the General Theory and the Special Theory are based on the idea that the speed of light is not only invariant WRT the observer, but also a constant in the vacuum of space. GPs signal data shows that light travels faster between GPS satellites from west to east vs east to west, in contradiction of the SRT. The Equivalence Principle is contradicted by GPS clock and data regarding Planck's Constant (GRT) and the invariance postulate. The Clock data regarding Planck's Constant shows that light does not blueshift into a gravity well, showing that the Equivalence Principle is wrong and there is no curvature of space, just a density gradient that causes clock speed to change and the electron transition energy to vary with altitude in regard to the emission spectrum of the GPS clock. In regard to GRT, the data shows that since the electron transition energy is the only thing verified to change with altitude, that the speed of light most like also changes with altitude, a density function, barring a more accurate way to measure the speed of light at different altitudes. In short, GPS and other experiments show that relativity has evidence to support it, AKA Lorentz or Maxwell. Einstein's version of relativity (which came after Lorentz, Maxwell, or Poincare) is in fact wrong.

@@Rio-zh2wb GPS clock and signal data show that both the Special Theory and the General Theory are in fact wrong. There is evidence to support the previous versions of relativity from Maxwell, Poincare, or Lorentz, (which require the speed of light to be invariant WRT a medium and not the observer,) but there is no evidence to support Einstein's version. It is true that Einstein's math is somewhat predictable in some cases, but when the mathematical errors of Einstein are removed, the corrected equations produce much better results. Things like time dilation and the Equivalence Principle are in fact artifacts of the mathematical errors of the Einstein version. There are other density functions (such as magnetic flux density) which account for things like clock speed and refractive index instead of 'curvature of space.' NASA laser experiments show that light only bends in an atmosphere near cosmological bodies as a refractive index, but not in the vacuum near the bodies due to gravity. The Earth's atmosphere, in fact, has a larger refractive index than the Sun's. The Sun's atmosphere, where light refracts, is verified to be extremely rarefied. The Earth bends light over 1000 times that of the Sun. There is no 'curvature of space' nor of space-time. It is the math errors in the Einstein model which mimic effects which can be accounted for by other physical things. It does take a true genius though to make the Einstein model look coherent amidst all of the paradoxes it creates. AKA Einstein makes substitutions in his time dilation equations which render them invalid when two bodies move or accelerate WRT each other.

There are plenty of experiments which contradict Einstein but do support the previous versions of Lorentz, Poincare, or Maxwell. And actually, there are algorithms and derivations which do improve upon it. ONE would be the fact that the algorithms in GPS use a Lorentz relativity algorithm and a Sagnac Correction. The previous GPS algorithms were only accurate to about 30 feet under an Einstein assumption. Today GPS is accurate to sub centimeter using the previous Lorentz or Maxwell assumptions. TWO would be Stephen B. Bryant who has corrected the Einstein derivations with much better results.

Working with Lorentz's aether theory, Henri Poincaré, having earlier proposed the "relativity principle" as a general law of nature (including electrodynamics and gravitation), used this principle in 1905 to correct Lorentz's preliminary transformation formulas, resulting in an exact set of equations that are now called the Lorentz transformations. A little later in the same year Albert Einstein published his original paper on special relativity in which, again based on the relativity principle, he independently derived
