Physics Myths: GPS proves Einstein's Relativity
มุมมอง 9114 วันที่ผ่านมา
In this video, I explain why I believe the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not definitive proof of Special and General Relativity, despite popular claims. I’ll break down the widespread myth and offer my perspective on the science behind it.

Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: when Science goes astray.

Sound Escapes any Gravity Well - Video Abstract
มุมมอง 199 หลายเดือนก่อน
Video Abstract of the paper "Sound escapes any gravity well" Physics Education 59 (2024) 035011. The principle of mechanical energy conservation limits the height at which a body of mass m and initial total mechanical energy E_i can get in a uniform gravitational field g, namely h_max = E_i /mg. However, the same conservation principle does not pose any limit to the height reachable by a sound ...
Does relativistic length contraction explain magnetic forces?
มุมมอง 55ปีที่แล้ว
The magnetic force felt by a charge moving parallel to a fixed current-carrying wire is, in fact, an electrostatic force when it is observed in the rest frame of the charge. In the 1960s, E.M. Purcell provided a basic explanation of this occurrence: in the rest frame of the moving charge, the positive charges of the wire are seen as moving, and then their density is modified by the relativistic...
Gravitational Redshift: does it really make sense?
มุมมอง 52ปีที่แล้ว
Gravitational redshift is one of the three classical predictions of general relativity. Here, I present a simple thought experiment suggesting that our current understanding of that phenomenon is misleading. Its existence is, in fact, at odds with the conservation of energy. All this may have profound consequences for what we know, for instance, about black holes. For more information, see: D’A...

    No, it DOES NOT open the door for further discussion. First of all, you can discuss anything you want, provided you can find someone interested in discussing it with you. In this case, I'd have zero interest in debating you. It doesn't really MATTER whether or not the GPS network adds evidence for relativity - plenty of direct experiments with no other purpose than to test the theory have been performed, and they all support the theory. At this point trying to deny it is flatly irrational. On top of that, the simple fact that they reduced the frequency of the standards on board the satellites in order to account for relativity tells us that the designers bought into relativity as well. It may well be that actual use of the network doesn't support the theories directly. I suspect your wrong in claiming it doesn't, but I see no need to argue with you. The real way of checking is to look at the history of those corrections that have to be uploaded from the ground stations from time to time. If relativity is wrong, then that reduction in satellite frequency would have led to the need for more frequent ground updates, and that would show in that data. They don't share that data with us, so we can't check that ourselves, but it could be done in theory. I just don't understand relativity deniers. The evidence is solid as a rock. People just seem to want to be obtuse for some reason. And yes, I'm talking about you.

      @@KipIngram I don't understand such aggression from you. We don't know each other, you don't know my background as a physicist or my publications in international peer-reviewed journals on the subject. Are you a physicist specializing in relativity? I'm not forcing you to discuss anything with anyone. You came to my channel. If you don't like it, leave. If you prefer, I'll kick you out myself. Courtesy and calm arguments above all else.

      @@germanodabramoLP My perception was that you were situating a narrative for purposes of undermining relativity. If that was a mistake on my part I apologize. I've just seen a lot of it online, taking many forms. Sometimes it's a direct assault on the theory itself, sometimes it's directed toward disputing Einstein's responsibility for it, etc. And it's just baffled me. So once again if I misread your presentation I'm sorry about that.

      The goal of the video is to show that, based on what is publicly known - namely the mathematics of the GPS system, specifically the navigation equations - the proper functioning of GPS is independent of the application of relativistic corrections. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, the operation of GPS does not prove relativity. However, this does not mean claiming that relativity is wrong. Nevertheless, I encourage you to delve into the considerations of some scholars far more prestigious than the two of us, such as Herbert Dingle and Mendel Sachs, to name two, who have shown how relativity (especially special relativity, from which general relativity is derived) has a fundamental logical problem. And the fact that there are myriad experiments confirming it does not change the epistemological essence of the issue. One day, perhaps, I will also make a video about the real epistemic scope of experiments in physics, especially those in which the preparation and interpretation of results are strongly intertwined with the theory being tested.

    How do you tell apart if it is ebonite or not? I have quite a few ebonite feed pens, but I'm not sure if it is one of them or molded plastic. But I rather lean towards ebonite.

    • @germanodabramoLP
      @germanodabramoLP 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for requesting clarification. I observed one side of my pen's feed under a loupe, right below the edge of the nib, and I noticed a thin line typical of injection molding running from the section almost to the tip of the feed. Additionally, after rubbing the flat part of the feed with my finger for a long time, I couldn't detect the burnt rubber smell typical of ebonite. I own many pens with ebonite feeds, both modern and vintage, and the material of this feed seems noticeably different. If you have more reliable information than mine, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it

    Let's say we put an atom into a centrifuge. Now the protons and the electrons move, so there is magnetic repulsion between them. So therefore the atom emits light whose frequency is not the normal one, it's redshifted. This may have something to do with gravitational redshift of light.

    A physicist carries a photon-gas-tank from first floor to second floor, and notices that no change can be noticed in the photons. This proves that potential energy of photons does not effect the frequency of the photons.

    • @germanodabramoLP
      @germanodabramoLP 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I appreciate your interesting observation! I do have a question about your thought experiment, though. It seems that it would also work if the box contained atomic-molecular gas. In that case, we cannot draw the same conclusion about atoms or molecules. Specifically, we cannot conclude that freely moving atoms or molecules are not affected by gravitational potential. Therefore, I have some concerns about the reliability of your thought experiment.

      @@germanodabramoLP Let's modify the thought experiment: A physicist lifts and then drops down onto a concrete floor a photon-gas-tank many times. The photon-gas warms up. Works the same with molecular gas. Oh yes, the point of this is trying somehow to decide if the photon-gas gains energy, or rather blueshifts, when being lifted, or when free falling.
