I've seen many videos on this subject. Your explanation was more concise and easier to understand than most. Thanks.

@@JasonGibsonScience I am well settled professional, in my late 30s, not my concern, belong to a different feild. But i still love to watch your lectures. and its fascinating for me because I compare your delivery with old school teachers. Learning same things again, in much more easier and understandable way. My kids are toddlers, But i am sure, i am gonna sugget this channel in near future!

Sir it makes a lot of sense but i was wondering like how that denominator come into existence.. though I know it coming from classical mechanics .. but i forgot.. but I love your teaching style.. it's so intuitive 🙏 Thanks teacher for being here on KZbin.

"In May and November, the Earth is moving at "right angles" to the line to Algol. During this time we see minima happening regularly at their 2.867321 day intervals. However, during August, the Earth is rapidly moving towards Algol at about 107,229 km/hr as explained on my How Fast Are We Moving? page. (The Earth moves approximately 202 times its own size in one day.) So in 2.867321 days the Earth moves about 7,379,039 km closer to Algol. _But the varying light from Algol doesn't know this - its light waves left Algol 93 years ago and are travelling at a constant speed._ The result - we "catch a bunch of minima early" during August as shown on Chart 2. Exactly the opposite happens during February - the Earth is moving away from Algol that fast and it takes longer for the group of minima to reach us so we see them taking longer between events. How long? 7,379,039 km divided by the speed of light 299,792.458 km/sec is 24.61382 seconds. So in May and November when we are not moving towards or away from Algol - the period seems constant. It is our rapid movement towards or away from the events in August and February that causes the timing differences." I assume that light is passing the earth at c when the earth isn't moving towards or away from Algol. In February the earth is moving away from Algol and the time between the eclipses is 2.8675875347 days and the light is passing the earth at 186,265 mi/sec. In May and November the earth is not moving towards or away from Algol and the time between eclipses is 2.867321 days and the light is passing the earth at 186,282 mi/sec. In August the earth is moving towards Algol and the time between eclipses is 2.8670608912 days and the light is passing the earth at 186,299 mi/sec.

Modern physics is about to undergo a major paradigm shift! The speed of light is not a constant speed as once thought, and this has now been proved by Electrodynamic theory and by Experiments done by many independent researchers. The results clearly show that light propagates instantaneously when it is created by a source, and reduces to approximately the speed of light in the farfield, about one wavelength from the source, and never becomes equal to exactly c. This corresponds the phase speed, group speed, and information speed. Any theory assuming the speed of light is a constant, such as Special Relativity and General Relativity are wrong, and it has implications to Quantum theories as well. So this fact about the speed of light affects all of Modern Physics. Often it is stated that Relativity has been verified by so many experiments, how can it be wrong. Well no experiment can prove a theory, and can only provide evidence that a theory is correct. But one experiment can absolutely disprove a theory, and the new speed of light experiments proving the speed of light is not a constant is such a proof. So what does it mean? Well a derivation of Relativity using instantaneous nearfield light yields Galilean Relativity. This can easily seen by inserting c=infinity into the Lorentz Transform, yielding the Galilean Transform, where time is the same in all inertial frames. So a moving object observed with instantaneous nearfield light will yield no Relativistic effects, whereas by changing the frequency of the light such that farfield light is used will observe Relativistic effects. But since time and space are real and independent of the frequency of light used to measure its effects, then one must conclude the effects of Relativity are just an optical illusion. Since General Relativity is based on Special Relativity, then it has the same problem. A better theory of Gravity is Gravitoelectromagnetism which assumes gravity can be mathematically described by 4 Maxwell equations, similar to to those of electromagnetic theory. It is well known that General Relativity reduces to Gravitoelectromagnetism for weak fields, which is all that we observe. Using this theory, analysis of an oscillating mass yields a wave equation set equal to a source term. Analysis of this equation shows that the phase speed, group speed, and information speed are instantaneous in the nearfield and reduce to the speed of light in the farfield. This theory then accounts for all the observed gravitational effects including instantaneous nearfield and the speed of light farfield. The main difference is that this theory is a field theory, and not a geometrical theory like General Relativity. Because it is a field theory, Gravity can be then be quantized as the Graviton. Lastly it should be mentioned that this research shows that the Pilot Wave interpretation of Quantum Mechanics can no longer be criticized for requiring instantaneous interaction of the pilot wave, thereby violating Relativity. It should also be noted that nearfield electromagnetic fields can be explained by quantum mechanics using the Pilot Wave interpretation of quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP), where Δx and Δp are interpreted as averages, and not the uncertainty in the values as in other interpretations of quantum mechanics. So in HUP: Δx Δp = h, where Δp=mΔv, and m is an effective mass due to momentum, thus HUP becomes: Δx Δv = h/m. In the nearfield where the field is created, Δx=0, therefore Δv=infinity. In the farfield, HUP: Δx Δp = h, where p = h/λ. HUP then becomes: Δx h/λ = h, or Δx=λ. Also in the farfield HUP becomes: λmΔv=h, thus Δv=h/(mλ). Since p=h/λ, then Δv=p/m. Also since p=mc, then Δv=c. So in summary, in the nearfield Δv=infinity, and in the farfield Δv=c, where Δv is the average velocity of the photon according to Pilot Wave theory. Consequently the Pilot wave interpretation should become the preferred interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. It should also be noted that this argument can be applied to all fields, including the graviton. Hence all fields should exhibit instantaneous nearfield and speed c farfield behavior, and this can explain the non-local effects observed in quantum entangled particles. *KZbin presentation of above arguments: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZazlX1tq7iErLM *More extensive paper for the above arguments: William D.

I think it would be small minded to think that light speed is the limit, humans once thought the sound barrier could not be broken - there will be a way.

[@babyoda1973]

Because of mass😮

[@Keiaradise]

I never realized how fast planes are until I was in one and another flew close by. It was incredibly fast, so light speed is just impossible to fathom.

[@JasonGibsonScience]

Yup!

[@DrDeuteron]

It doesn’t matter how fast it is, it defines instantaneous.

Just wanted to give cudos for a REALLY nice video. Even though it's hard to cope with the scale, it's still a very, very good explaination. (That someone should give to "Dark Helmet" in Spaceballs, before he went to ludicrous speed :D )

The speed of which light or rather which kind of light and is the light going through a medium such as water or atmosphere or no medium like the vacuum of space 🖖😎

GREETINGS EARTHLINGS👋👋 Once upon a time, many years ago, you were also taught that aircraft could not exceed the speed of sound. OOPS!! The other misconception that you have is the belief that in all of the universe you and your little planet are so special that you are the only beings out here. Open your eyes and your feeble little minds.

[@scytale2242]

Isn't everything already going at the speed of light ? In space-time.

[@scytale2242]

Anyway, what means "faster than light" ? Doesn't a photon need no time at all to cross the entire universe ? In his frame of reference.

[@DrDeuteron]

@@scytale2242photon don’t have a frame of reference.

[@scytale2242]

@@DrDeuteron So, let's say some particule with mass, travelling very close to the speed of light. It twould cross the entire universe in almost no time, in its frame of reference. Why would it need to travel "faster than light" ?
