@@Johncornwell103 This comment was not related to the content but rather to the quality of the teaching. Of course, I am not saying you should teach GR as a general case, so that Newtonian physics just pop out as a special case. But I think, even as a physics student you can appreciate the nice way of explanation in this video. Of course, you can do your standard lecture of GR as kind of a soft differential geometry lecture (and if you do this for your professional background, it is nessecary that you understand all the details) but general relativity (as well as quantum field theory) belongs to the theories in physics where you cannot get clear enough in your notation to explain it as good as you can.

@@nanobruh I can agree with the first half of what you said. However, it is "useful" if it gets people interested and it's also "useful" if they are pointed in the right direction. It is therefore reasonable teaching. This is "Edu-tainment" rather than a textbook. It's good for what it is. I don't know but I suspect the content creators are especially interested in testing out their new ideas for the diagrams, illustrations and animations. Some of these are good and may well get their way into other educational sources. (Just my opinion and I don't speak French well enough to fully understand what they were doing on the Science Clic French channel which is about 2 months ahead of the English channel).

Thats exactly the same thing? The derivative units are made up of vector components. Your position vector is your velocity through space time in the spatial dimensions. If he clocked your spatial dimension velocity as being over the limit in the spatial dimension, youre speeding in that particular axis. Your time axis would then change to compensate, slowing compared to "stationary".

1:11 “More generally, all objects in the universe move with exactly the same speed ... the speed of light” Perhaps this statement is intended to grab the attention of the listener. But while that’s true in the context of spacetime, our everyday use of the term “speed” is quite different. “Spacetime speed” is probably a better moniker.

It is amazing, isn't it? Alessandro does a really great job of making concepts easier to understand while not sacrificing the complexity and intricacies of the math within, and I've personally gotten a lot out of the channel so far. It's also suprising how quickly he's released the video, although I'm assuming he probably already made each of the videos in the series or at least most of them and releasing the videos periodically. Nonetheless, the amount of thought, work, and professionalism in his videos is astounding and the amount of views he has is mind bogglingly small for the quality of his content.

1:45 Small technicality: If you measure time in *seconds* , and distances in *light seconds* , then the speed of light is not 1 but 1 *light second per second* (a *light second* is NOT a *second* ). You could, however, define the unit of distance as *1 second* (the _time_ representing the _distance_ light travels in 1 second). In this case, the speed of light is 1.

This is the best series I saw in a while (the previous one that made me this exited was Naruto, but that is an other subject). I don't know about others, but this is like a good movie for me, like Matrix but in reallity. The history of physics is really cool, like how they developed each others ideas into finding out the truth about reality. I learned electric engineering at university that involved only a segment of how phenomenons work. Physics class was pretty much a survival for me, I was very young at that age, and the way they taught us wasn't the best I think. This video explains things much clearer and gives way better visual presentation than that my professors did at a white board with a piece of chulk. Good job! I can't wait till Part 3 comes out.

The problem with tensor notation (with all indices down) is that this does not differentiate between covariant and contravariant indices. In terms of differential geometry this is essential because indices up / down represent different geometrical objects (one-forms / vectors). Tensor notation is usually used as a special case of Einstein notation, for a euclidean metric, when you can just lower/raise the indices without worries

The expression ||v>|| = c typically refers to the magnitude of the velocity vector being equal to the speed of light, c. This applies to massless particles like photons, which always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. So, for massless particles, the magnitude of their velocity is indeed equal to the speed of light, but not for “all objects in the universe….denitwd the letter c”. Can someone clarify this for me?

@ScienceClicEN
@ScienceClicEN 4 жыл бұрын
Beware, that's an important point, it's what was emphasized at the end. The coordinates are *not* physical distances, so you cannot just "rotate" the vector on the grid, and expect it to keep the same norm. In particular, if you want to change the direction of the vector, you must account for the change of norm (it's done with the metric tensor, we'll see that later). This might be confusing because I used the image of a circle in my video "We all move at the speed of light" : in this video it was *not* the components of the spacetime velocity that were represented, but the observed velocities (the ones measured with respect to the observer's time instead of the proper time of the object)

Awesome content. One thing to consider is demonstrating the actual scale of relative motions of everyday objects, such as earth an apples - they travel in *almost* parallel paths and the highly curved paths traced in the animation don't show that. For example, Earth and a satellite would both have speed c in 4D space, and if Earth observes 300000km/s for c, it would observe 299,999.9999 km/s for the satellite with its time dilation. Essentially, the cylinder in your animation would be stretched out to the point where the spiral drawn around by the satellite's worldline is *almost* parallel to the axis of the cylinder - the Earth worldline. While such drawing wouldn't illustrate well the concept, it can be shown briefly for the viewer to get a better understanding

This is a very good question. It would not be possible if spacetime was euclidean (using the Pythagorean theorem). However spacetime is not euclidean but Lorentzian : in a Lorentzian space if you go from A to B in a straight line it can actually be longer than going from A to C and then from C to B ! This is because distances in a Lorentzian space are measured with what we call a "pseudo-metric". This will be explained in episode 4 ;)

NEGATIVE: Your resolute determination that worldlines are cut into equally spaced chunks of proper time through part 1 and now also part 2 of the series You draw spacetime diagrams and often make statements that force people into thinking the arc length along the worldline between units of proper time is constant. Only at the end of this video do you suggest that Pythagoras' theorem or the conventional Euclidean approach to determining that arc length isn't going to work. Well, this is ok, or it could be ok depending on what you do in the next video. However, you simply wouldn't have that problem if you hadn't insisted that the chunks of proper time were equally spaced along the worldline in the first place. QUICK QUESTION: How would you draw the worldine and mark out the chunks of proper time for a particle that moved at a constant velocity with speed

Actually the geometric distance between the intervals of proper time *is* constant, this is because proper time is an affine parameter of the worldlines. Now if you try representing it in a spacetime diagram, because the distance used is not euclidean but Lorentzian it seems as if the intervals are not equally spaced... but they are really. So I decided to start this series with an euclidean approach, introducing the concepts of differential geometry first on Riemaniann surfaces because euclidean metrics are much more intuitive for us.

@@ScienceClicEN Thank you very much for this reply. You took some time to address a question that is antagonistic to the teaching method you have chosen, rather than just ignoring it. You deserve recognition for that. For whatever it is worth, I am much more likely to recommend this series and the methods you use to others. I'm interested to see the over-all effect on students caused by the teaching method you have chosen. You have moved a learning demand* away from many concepts such as worldlines and spactime diagrams but increased the learning demand elsewhere. Specifically, students may be more reluctant to accept that a Lorentzian metric instead of the Euclidean metric must be used. The learning demand required to actually construct and draw worldines of the type you are using, instead of just looking at some you have already drawn, may also be large. In order to maintain the appearance of constant Euclidean distance between proper time units, the co-ordinates along the axis of those worldlines would need to be compressed or stretched (determined by the motion of the particle). There is also a problem if you tried to show TWO worldines on the same diagram. Suppose you wanted to consider the usual Twin Paradox of special relativity: If the students expect the units of proper time to be equally spaced, they will measure the arc length along each worldline to obtain precisely the opposite (wrong) idea of which twin experienced the least proper time. Best of luck to you. You are doing well and getting many people interested and motivated. Your concept is a good one and I'm sure it will help to explain the science in some situations. You seem to be interested in developing animations, images, diagrams and other visual tools that will aid in Science communication. I am merely pointing out that this idea may be helpful in some situations but it may be putting a higher learning demand in other situations.

at 6:29, that's not how orbital mechanics work. The satellite that is further away ought to be moving slower, and the same could be said of its angular velocity. That may or may not have anything to do with your point, but maybe you could have used something other than satellites to illustrate it.
@ScienceClicEN
@ScienceClicEN 4 жыл бұрын
Yes indeed it's important to clarify : if they were to follow orbits in free fall then the satellite which is further should be slower than the other one. Here I was just talking about two trajectories (not necessarily in free fall), to show how two vectors that have the same components can have different lengths depending on where they are located. The idea in this series is to start from scratch and forget everything we know about physics, so at first we are not supposed to know that this situation would not be physical.

One thing that this presentation leaves out is the method behind the madness of notation conventions. People will be confused at how an index can sometimes be up and sometimes down, and how you know it's an index and not exponentiation. These questions have answers but that's a different video series. To what extent is this an obstacle for people?

@ScienceClicEN 3 жыл бұрын
Good catch, in relativity the metric is not euclidean (it's not the Pythagorean theorem) but Lorentzian, this means that the triangle inequality is opposite : the path between A and B is always *longer* than the path between A and C + the path between C and B. This is explained at the end of episode 4

eo and e1 usually have the length of one. which means 2eo = 2 basis vectors, each has the length of one. if the eo has the value of 2, then 2eo = 2 basis vectors each has the value of 2.
