Space and time are relative, the more time I spend with my relatives the more space I need
LOL
Eureka!
Its kinda sad that this is so true for many of us! Merry Christmas!
@@lundsweden Agreed - I was of course just joking but it is as you so true - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all - just not Uncle George - he knows why....
underrated 😂
Our perception of time often relates to changes in our surroundings or within ourselves. The concept of time is intertwined with changes in states, events, or motions of objects. When there's no change or movement, time can seem less apparent or perceivable. Time often becomes noticeable due to the transformations or alterations in the world around us.
Then time should be universal, but it changes around black hole or other high gravity objects
@@deepakkushwaha4060that's why time is also realitive to the observer
This law doesn't depend on how we feel or think. It works the same for everything, even at the quantum level. If a molecule moves at light speed and comes back, it ages less, as if it's traveled to the future. The interesting part is that everything feels normal while traveling, the time ticks normally, but the real difference in time only shows up when you return.

As someone who is not educated in all of the physics and math needed to understand these concepts, I find this to be the best explanation of the dimension of time. Incredible work done here.
Just read Einstein. General theory and special relativity. Einstein defined space time. This video is nothing new.
But time does exist, let me explain with reality
All living things on this earth have a time limit.
This explanation has a problem: why the person who remains younger due to travelling near the light speed (you say just one second younger) don't see the other older person 300 M km away if the time is a real dimension, and why we can not move backward in it? Abs if your answer contains 'space-like' or 'time-like' phrases so the time is not a dimension.
So, by not understanding the topic ... you're qualified to rate it?
A study which was just published in the international journal Animal Behaviour, showed that small-bodied animals with fast metabolic rates, such as some birds, perceive more information in a unit of time, hence experiencing time more slowly than large bodied animals with slow metabolic rates, such as large turtles. I think that other factors that varies between humans also affects how we perceive time
This is the first time that I've heard spatial contraction at relativistic speeds is due to the "angle" at which we view 3d objects within 4d space-time. Fascinating concept.
Same for me,
what did you say?
@@sayagarapan1686 exactly 😆
I wish my English is better, but no matter what I always will watch any sci-fi movies with translated subtitle in my own language, since if not I got confused easily with those mumble jumble complicated words.
The way I conceptualize it is essentially like looking down our world through various sized straws as we continue to accelerate. We start with a big gulp straw, boba tea straw, soda straw, coffee straw, until you’ve reached seeing nothing, which would indicate you’ve reached the speed of light. You’re narrowing off your peripheral view the faster you go, or in this case, closing your aperture to the amount light that travels with you.
Since when do we flatten? Contract is not not same as flatten..isnt that news to anyone else?
From waking up from a coma i can confirm this is exactly how i felt when i was gone for a week. Time didn’t exist, i was and still shocked how long i was out because i felt like i blinked my eyes to a tube in my throat
But you were not moving at the speed of light in one direction in order to experience time dilation. You were stationary in a coma. Unless medical science has progressed in ways I am unaware of.
how did you end up in a coma
I've had that experience twice, thatnks to an inexperience with gin & tonic. One minute I was thinking, "This is my last one, I'm switching to clubsoda," & the next thing I knew it was morning & I'd definitely been traveling on a different vector, as no time had passed but clearly I had done some traveling in space. However, to all of my friends (bless them!) both time & space had moved quite normally, if perhaps a bit uncomfortably. Many years ago, never again, tho maybe I'll just down a couple of those tasty monsters on my deathbed, as I prepare to move permanently into another dimension, where there had darn well better be cheese, too!
@@marksneddon Uh, yeah, duh. Thanks for clearing that up, I was like all confused, I thought it was called transmogrification. What ever would I do without your words of experience.
are u dreaming when ur in coma ? where u r at that time ?
This video includes comprehensive pure details of space time that I have learned ever since. Congrats and thank you 😊
Wasn't this supposed to show us why time did not exist?
Exactly. I became more confused as the video progressed lol
Good videos but the titles are pretty clickbaity. 🤔
Universal time does not exist. Time is relative
I think of it like this: Dimension = measurement...so Time 'exists' only in the same manner that the mile or kilometer exists, for example. The 'dimensions' are just human methods of record-keeping rather than actual properties of nature like heat energy or magnetism.
At first I was like 'Silly Alex, you're going a bit too basic there with the explanation of our 3D world' and then this turned into the hands-down simplest, cleanest and best explanation of 4D space (and time) I have ever heard - bravo, Mr.! Also the book looks really great, congratz!
Who tf is Alex you talk like you know him or something, calling him by first name basis like he's a friend of yours.
Lol obvious sockpuppet account
Alhamdullillah, not too long ago, Allah (S.W.T.) made this concept clear for me. When you ask your Creator to Guide you and give you important and useful knowledge, you will learn more about existence, the universe, and your purpose in life than you could have ever imagined. Ask your Creator to guide you. Allah is the Creator of the Universe. Allah is the AUTHOR of the laws of physics. Allah is One and Only. He doesn’t have a beginning or an end. Allah (S.W.T.) has no partners or children. NOTHING of Allah’s creation resemble Him.
May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
Alex is the dude making the video. He introduced himself right at the start.
Please, learn to use the Oxford comma. It makes these kinds of things easier to read.
I like this explanation. It fits with another I like, which completes the picture a little: if we continue to imagine the Z axis as time, and X as space, the sum of the two speeds - spatial and temporal - equals the speed of light. So when you are stationary in space (arrow pointing up), you are travelling through time at the speed of light. Conversely, if you are stationary in time (arrow pointing right) you are travelling through space at the speed of light. If you tilt anywhere diagonally - so you are moving through both time and space in any distribution, the sum of the two speeds is always the same: you are just distributing speed from one to the other. And this sum is equal to the speed of light. Which implies both that everything is always travelling at the speed of light, and that the speed of light cannot be broken.
I think this video is intentionally misinforming the general public. I think they mixed up how speed is not time, perceptual time is a conscious concept and not a strictly physical concept. Speed is relative, time is a conscious and experienced constant, light is an objective particle that, according to the internet, is traveling in a "wave-like pathing"
I like your concept. I wonder if the math agrees.
@@hbl142 that s basically the Penrose diagram. Therr are a lot of videos on this topic. Look for it.
And the Big Bang traveled back in time?
@@hbl142 think of this, you can't use math to explain the mind understanding concepts
Incredible explanation! I’ve been thinking about this for over a decade and had the substance of what you described. The flatness of our experience in the 4th dimension was the essence of what I’ve been searching for.
Thank you!
This is the most comprehensible explanation I have ever run across, thank you.
Time is the universe's way of preventing everything from happening at once.
Well said, and, much appreciated.
The time is not relativistic and it is exactly relativity that has prevented quantum field theory from making any real progress!
The truth is that time is nondimensional it simply doesn’t have any physical dimension whatsoever!
That is to say that time is not a physical entity in any true sense and therefore geometrical concepts of time fall short or give answers that do not reflect the true nature of what is taking place, such as length contraction and other matters of that ilk.
Even that theory suggests zero dimensionality of time when one moves at exactly the speed of light in a vacuum this reduces the destination time to 0 because one is perpetually suspended above the 1 dimensional surface of the destination.
Clearly this is evidence that the mathematics is indicating something that just isn’t complete and therefore doesn’t work.
Proving this would take many pages of complex proofs, however.. the math has already been done, it just isn’t public knowledge.
Whoosh. Everything IS happening all at once, its just our perception that its not. That was kind of the whole point of the video.
Maybe another thought: imagine the appearance of an object in 4D (just skip one dimension and imagine an object in 3D) and then apply this thought to space-time by just skipping one space dimension (just like in the video). Now imagine how objects would appear in that space-time. Imagine how you would appear as an 4D object in space-time (ok, skip one dimension so you can imagine a §D object). You would appear as a kind of bent and curved spaghetti, with one spaghetti end marking your birth (appearance in the world) and the other end marking your death (disappearance from this world) all aligned along the time-axis. Now of course immediately you can ask: is this object fixed or can it move depending on your actions. A fixed spaghetti means all your actions are predetermined, and you are just experiencing your actions that are already there. A movable spaghetti means that by your actions and decisions are not predetermined, and therefore you can change the appearance of your space-time object (your spaghetti) depending on the places you visit (depending on your actual movement through space-time) during your life. A movable spaghetti also means there must be another additional "time-like" dimension in which your 4D spaghetti can move. This other dimension defines then the choice realm or the choice dimension. So our world must be at least 5 dimensional, with 3 space dimensions and 2 time dimension.
It is happening all at once to some conscious. Time is relative.
This is the first time scaling at relativistic speeds has ever been truly intuitive to me. I'm nearly 40, and I've been consuming physics media all my life. Thank you! It's been so long since something was new or different enough to give me that "ah-ha!" feeling.
Well said!
😁
one of the best explanations, as of now, providing a great perspective and clarity. 👍🙏
Excellent description! Great insight. I only had to rewind 2-3 times to comprehend! That's pretty good for me!
I'm in my 40's, I've tried to get my head around time, space-time and such,
this video has given me a model to explain time and spatial dimensions in a way
that I didn't think anything could!
I thought I'd reached the limit of my grasp but I now feel like I get it more,
Thank you
It's usually never the fault of students that they aren't able to understand what the teqchers taught them
Nope, the stick figures didn't help me much. But he did turn a simple concept into a mind bending one.
@@lastyhopper2792 - What is or are teqchers?
You may think more like myself, then, and would benefit from checking out Steven wolfram's computational understandings of things. He breaks down both space and time as essentially various different ways the universe processes information, and that is it. Seeing as we are a part of the universe, that is also true for us. What might really blow your mind is that linear time, as we experience it, is simply a byproduct of us being trapped within three spatial dimensions of existence. Beyond that, everything is occurring simultaneously, as if beings at that level of existence had such a perspective as to see you essentially stretching through the universe like a giant snake of yourself, from the moment you were born to the moment he died. Obviously, it wouldn't look exactly like that, but describing movement through the fourth dimension table language that is only designed by three-dimensional understanding requires even more sloppy shortcuts then language normally does, which is a pretty ridiculous amount, in the first place
@@sethrenville798 - Hogwash.
This is absolutely the best visualization of time as a 4th dimension I have ever seen. Thank you for this!
You're welcome
True
you say this to all the smart guys huh? lol
Or is it?
I saw this comment before watching the video so my expectations were high, and wow you were totally right haha
I really like your explanation really helps. The challenge in understanding is that from 1d to 2d and the 3d, we analyze in terms of space. That's perfectly understandable. The challenge is that going to higher dimensions implies introducing things like time which are not spacial per se
What does it help?

@@Pdx616it’s fun learning these things
Why can't time be a space also? If we existed in that dimension we could move forward and backward in time like we now walk forward and backward in a hallway.
New to your channel and your videos are doing work to my brain! Thank you for the very interesting content.
One point: It IS possible to slow down the passage of time, as we perceive it. I can tell you that without a doubt. Sitting in the cockpit of an F/A-18 in a knife fight with an Iraqi Mig, I witnessed the passage of about 4 seconds take far longer. Time slowed to a crawl. That 4 seconds to everyone else became almost 30 seconds for me. I could see the raindrops deform as the swept over the fuselage of my aircraft. It was absolutely terrifying and incredible. Afterwards I felt like I had been run over by a train, my entire body ached from head to toe for days. I've pulled 9 G's many times and never suffered so badly. The adrenaline that my brain dumped into my system in those moments aged me about 4 months in 4 seconds.
100% agree - you can achieve this effect / experience using hypnosis too!
@@stephen_101 And magic mushroom's.
Spot on. His mind controlled time in his body which is DNA. There ya have it.
Thats effect of gforce on your body/brain. Blood flow and the "manufacture" of thinking processes if you ask me. If a camera would register time slowdown that would be proof of something. Human in extream conditions just dont function as it should and cant be proof of anything other than cool story.
I wonder if the stress hormone has an effect on recorded memory. If you are in fight or flight mode then your senses are heightened and perhaps the more primitive parts of the brain take over leaving the rational part to observe in high detail like a slow motion video recording. Perhaps this is also part of the cause of PTSD after stress i.e. more things are recorded in memory than during normal activity where we fail to observe an record and time passes quickly.
This is, without a doubt, the single best explanation of dilation of time and space that I have ever seen. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of it before, but now it’s just so clear in my head. Thank you.
I agree, I am blown away how beautifully simply it is explained.
Same here. It has opened my mind to hypothesize further on this subject. I think the universe is a conception of consciousness, in our case, consciousness is using a machine (mind) which is limited in it's capacity or frequency. I also think that through meditation the mind can be expanded, perhaps by opening the third eye etc. Then all the concepts, including the conceiver will be revealed to you. To me everything is lot more clearer as a wave.
Time is real. God created time. God is infinite as he is outside of time. You been brainwashed
You're joking, right?
@@michaelmccarthy2369 time is encapsulated in materiality, Spirit is Eternal
The use of the vector for time was brilliant. A new perspective indeed.
Stretched between the past and future, but have not extended far enough in the future for time to be visible. Like this very informal presentation, and our manner of iterating/refining subjects in general, it seems that our means of extension is but a language barrier. We had no awareness of our place in the 3D world, yet the moment we understood we realised we were already there, it simply became official, stands to reason that the moment we speak the language of higher dimensions fluently is when we find ourselves ALSO standing in the future, looking down into a wishing well.
I like the description of 4D from Cixin Liu's book "Deaths End".
He describes 4th dimensional objects as being vaguely comprehensible to 3D observers ( Assuming they are also in 4D space ). Analagous to the infinite tunnel effect 2 parallel mirrors make when reflecting each other, we'd see a silhouette conveying a "tunnel" of near infinite 3D topological information.
Imagining a 4D cup of coffee: you'd "see" the information of every possible 3D perspective of the cup and it's contents ( layer by layer ) down to the resolution of the planck distance. All from a singular 4D perspective.
The takeaway from this is that instead of imagining 4D objects as arbitrary "complex" shapes, think of things in terms of conveyable information as limited by perspective. A 2D person would have to change their orienation by rotating within X,Y to see things at a different angle on their plane. However as 3D observers we can see all concievable 2D information simply by looking down at this 2D world in the Z axis. A 4D observer would be no different, merely gazing from a direction that our spacial physiology prohibits us from being aware of.
It's pure sci-fi that doesn't factor in time as Alex does here, but it helps put into context the incomprehensibility of such thinking as long as we exist within a lower dimensional framework. It also embeds how terrifyingly different beings of higher dimensions could be. Able to make sense of the most complex 3D structures imaginable as easily as we witness the wrinkles on a sheet of paper.
Information limited by perspective, I like that.
What's amazing is that you can see inside of something if you are in the fourth dimension looking at a three-dimensional object, this is what always amazes me and in the book they have to be careful not to move somewhere and accidentally put their hand through someone or even through themselves. It's an excellent serious and I would highly recommend it. The three body problem starts slow but God damn does it ramp up fast and by the second book you can barely stop reading.
@@magichands135 It is beautifully displayed in the 2007 movie Flatland. Its even free right here on youtube.
@@zuilok By looking at the title Im a bit afraid its more about the 2nd and 3rd. Does it dive any deeper into the 4th dimension?
@@magichands135 You are correct. However the entire thing is a bit flipped on its head because in this film the main protagonist lives in 2D aka Flatland. And the third dimension is just as incomprehensible for him as the fourth is for us.
I've always had trouble comprehending the theory of time and space relativity before, but your explanation really broke it down so well that I've finally grasped it! Thank you so much for your detailed, in depth graphs and animations!
Agreed!
Yeah the graph really helped, hearing about it is one thing but actually seeing a representation of it is amazing
Check out ScienceClic English for their explanation about traveling through time as a dimension in their General Relativity video. It’s very well done and intuitive like Alex’s. They both have a little something the other does not, which is why I like them both.
The model is simple and easy to understand but wrong, not in the sense that it's not good enough for how complex reality is but in the sense that you can break it using simple logic and basic understanding of relativity.
Enjoyed the visual way to explain this! Still not sure if I get it though :)
Thank you so much for your thoughts and difficult job of trying to explain this concept. I am a visual learner and though I do not feel I better understand this concept, I do feel that I have gained a much better visual of time as a dimension.
I perfectly understood 4D up until time. I was curious about what does time have to do with it. When you rotated the stickman in time it made all sense to me! This is amazing
for me this video did not help, im not a scientist so i could be totally wrong, but from what i understand time cannot be the 4th dimension because time exists in all dimensions, and if it was the 4th dimension that would mean that you could travel in both directions of time which would allow for backwards travel paradoxes... right ?
@@mtxdp4392 there are no paradoxes because you're only traveling through time non-linearly, time travel is the 5th dimension, when you saw the stickman rotate, you wouldnt see his other arm because it was in the past
it is just a made up theory! Time is not the 4th Dimension. By definition the 4th D shall enable movement in yet another 2 more directions, which time doesn't do.
The 4D vector is something I had never seen before and it really helps visualizing these concept. Very interesting.
The vector you saw was 3D 😁 2 space (x, y) + 1 time (z).
@@tim.martin well if we want to get technical, what I saw was 2D since it was a representation on a 2D screen ;) What I meant was that I've never seen the 4D vector explanation for time dilation at high speeds.

Our existence does not conform or bend to the known Reality....but rather we bend our Reality to conform to our Existence! Snow McCall 12/12/22
I agree. I taught relativity for many years and think this is the clearest explanation.
Much mor simply:
ds²=-c²dt² + dr².
Thas is a correct description.
However, the visualization is not correct.
What if the direction of time is the effect of universe expansion? Or perhaps, the force propelling you through space is the expansion of the universe, as the universe expands, even if you are standing still in space, space is "moving" around you, hence your "movement" through time. Your relative position in an expanding universe is always changing.
So time exists because of the big bang and we must be in an infinitely expanding universe. We could be moving close to the speed of light without knowing it relative to a stationary object but then again what is stationary? If we are both flying apart at half the speed of light then each one looks like they are travelling at light speed to the other yet the effects of relativity wouldn't be observed. Maybe there's no such thing as a stationary object.
@@groovejet77 I tend to think that there is no such thing as an object that is standing still. More than moving, I think more about each object's reference point in "space". Because space is expanding, your reference point is constantly changing within that ever-expanding space.
I think your brain fell off when u crossed a "wormhole" in your own mind.
If you expect the space expansion is consequence of moving in time dimension that could have any speed [m/s], than it means it is kind of a spatial dimense measurable in meters, but not kind of time dimense measurable in seconds. In that case you need any additional extra time dimension, because it expect the shape of 3d space in next aditional 4th spatial dim. where you can move in the times pace. Due to the fact the moving is not "single dimensional" function, it is fnc meters and seconds.
Time has no direction.
Beautiful explanation. Thank you for sharing
Looking very forward to your new videos and book!
A great demonstration of how time slows down the faster we go. I learned something today.
Time used to slow right down when I was at school, but it speeded right up during the holidays!
@@antonioveritas true lol
It's misinformation, I believe
I don't understand how this relates to a person's perception of time still. If I am aware of time passing and mentally focus time goes slower. If you are unaware and pace through life at fast intervals it's like time speeds up.
Side note: I feel clocks are an antiquated way of measuring time. Its not really a good way for humans to measure and perceive time. Thinking about how we divide time into a working day, should really be a way to measure the energy we can spend moving through space.
I'm interested in our perception of reality in this case.
@@TheBrianthom Simple, our brains need something to compare against to perceive time at all. The less you're paying attention, the less "stuff" is happening, and in those gaps you don't remember much of anything because... not much happened. So of course after the fact it seems like hardly any time passed. Nothing to do with physics, just perception.
I concur with this explanation, especially considering when I oversleep since I remain very stationary in 3D space while everyone gets angry and wakes me up, because from their point of view I have traveled faster through time while they wanted me to be in other coordinates in 3D space.
You nailed it!

So now are you both now convinced time is an "illusion", even though you experience it every single waking moment of your life?
@@NondescriptMammal correct, that is what I'm saying.
Not so much an illusion as a perspective we live in, as you say, for every bit of time we're here.
@@andrewwalker8094 Yes I agree that it is a different perspective of time, and that seems valid... I guess I just object to the use of the word "illusion", in that it implies it doesn't exist in reality as a phenomenon (as is explicitly stated in the title). Clearly it does.
Maybe the word "illusion" is being used more loosely than I am taking it, but if that's the case, everything we see is an "illusion" loosely speaking as well, when you think about it.
@@NondescriptMammal Very few influencers can resist the euphoria of 'splaining things away.

i have a graduate degree from a good school but not in physics or cosmology. however, i have taken up those two areas of study as a "hobby." as to the existence of time, i had an odd experience recently. i have been down with a cold and flu and have been confined to bed with all the normal symptoms of those exceptional ailments. one night i awoke from a dream. in that dream, i was in a very large open warehouse room. there were not a lot of items in this huge space, just me sitting in a chair and various small tables some distance away from me in the dim light. as i was sitting in the chair, a thought entered my mind that i was existing in my own reality in that chair. off in the distance i could make out shapes and tables but i knew they were just "there" - they were not experiencing any changes or movement or "existence" as i was in my chair. i realized that there was no "time" for these other objects. whatever had been their state "in the past" was the same state they were existing in "the present" and that their existence would not change "in the future." "time" was not a concept that affected their reality. it seems to me that time is only relevant to living things on this earth. living things are born, and live for some period of "time" and then they pass away out of existence. but just because living things go through this cycle in no means requires that everything else in the universe needs to go through some "birth, life, death" cycle. what this would mean for the reality outside of "human reality" is that the past, present, and future all exist at the same time. try my thought experiment. imagine you are in a dimly lit large warehouse with a few items visible around. then think about what is going on in the space you are occupying and then "suspend" that thought and imagine the reality around all the other objects in the room if nothing at all is happening to the other objects. the universe and the quantum world may simply be a "reality" that is just "going on all the time." large space and quantum space are just active places where events are occurring but not in a "linear" manner but just in a "random" manner. humans exist in a linear reality but "our reality" is not the ONLY "reality."
Your dream sounds like a Nightmare
@@samox5471 whether my dream involved any level of "new insight" or was just a "random nightmare" obviously can't be determined. i am, however, being persuaded by the "block Universe" theory of time and space and can't help but note that this new and novel theory tracks very closely to various elements of my dream.

Congrats on the book!
Been so cool to watch this channel grow over the years. 🍻
without getting too technical, time is just a measurement of change... we use time as a way to measure entropy... and since information is always increasing, the universe is always expanding and time keeps going
I know nothing of these topics but that’s usually how I regard it.
I usually say that time is the measurement of the distance an object has travelled from point A to point B.
I guess you could also call that change.
But time would then be a singular and non-singular phenomenon depending on point of view.
From the cosmic point of view time is the collection of all movement of all things simultaneously regardless of direction or distance travelled.
From the point of view of a singular object, time is purely the distance travelled within set coordinates.
So, I cannot comprehend this idea of time being a set direction that one travels through at varying velocities.
And that one is being compelled to move in said direction.
Unless that direction is the heat death of the universe.
But in that case, how does velocity slow down entropy?
Yes but why does it change based on speed through space? The fact that it's not an absolute constant is what's puzzling. In other words, if time=change, why does increased speed cause change to occur at a different rate?
Totally agree... I have always said time isn't special, and isn't a dimension. All time is... is the measurement of change. The universe is always changing. Atoms are always moving and recycling. If everything was completely still and unchanging, time ceases to exist, because there is no distinction between one point in time versus the other. It's actually possible to time travel back to the past, all you have to do is reset all atoms everywhere to a previous state they once all existed, however, good luck finding the energy to make that happen. And how would you know where every single atom in the universe needs to be to get back to the exact same state. But even that wouldn't be real time travel, just a temporary duplication of a previous time, only if you could also determine and control the vector of changes for each atom to be identical to the previous state, then you have achieved actual (but not really) time travel to the past, where everything is the same AND heading in the same direction as it was before. Anyways, time is simply the measurement of change, and change is always occuring
@@ryanj2768In other words time is more of a vector than anything else, since it's not a dimension or an entity.
Time is fundamental to how we think and understand. Instead of conceptualizing time as a direction, I consider it a description of matter. If that makes sense.
The first three dimensions are descriptions we give to help us understand and relate to others, information about matter.
On a graph where all spacial dimensions are compressed into an xy axis, i would use the time z axis to describe the change of the first 3 dimensions values. This allows us to reference things in the past, present, and future when we relate information to another.
In this graph: At any point in the z axis, there will be a set cluster of values representing the 3 dimensional object you want to describe.
Great thought provoking video
You had me at graph! Very informative and interesting ✌

Full = Full. Yea. Two same words are the same. Tea is tea. Curtains are curtains. Great explanation.
I imagine the 4th dimension being a constant train that leads all the way to the future, and all the way back to the past, where there is no separate moment in time, it’s all one complete thing. We’re experiencing it as separate individual moments, being as we’re trapped in 3d space but in reality everything has already happened.
This is a scary thought to me as then we wouldn't have a choice in anything our life is laid out
@@marcuscaunt2141 I dont believe in determinism to that degree, I think time is a perceptive deduction of reality, time as these scientists describe seems statically qualitative in ways that dont make sense.

An interesting exercise in space time energy conservation. The way I always looked at it was a balance of energy. (space x time) = constant energy. If time slows or goes down, then space must increase in energy and vice versa. That change in energy is either by speed or gravity or the lack of.
Thanks for the share
Awesome!
I believe that time is just a model we use to describe changes. It seems natural to think about time when you look around you, when you consider your age or anything else in life. But time is a really elusive concept. What you actually model with time is change. If there is no change, does time still exists? I believe that time, as we think about it, does not exist. We should think about changes and what drivers those changes. But maybe that is what we actually do with the 't' variable... I feel like we are missing something, maybe more conceptually than matematically. Time is something that relates, It describes relationship, It is the core or the nature itself of relativity. Imagine many particles, where each does not 'feel' the others, where there is no relationship. Would you tell that 'time' exists in that context?
Sorry... just thinking 'out loud'..
Time is an abstract representation of what happens. A representation that we need, just as we need the international metric system. And like the latter, time can only be measured by comparison. That is, what we name time is the result of a comparison, and in an abstract way we say 1 minute. Time is not an illusion, but a tool to understand everything that surrounds us.
Exactly.
I have had the experience of my consciousness traveling like warp speed through time and seeing what I assumed were past pictures of my lives. It felt like going in a tunnel and then arriving at some kind of very real destination. Think of the experience of Jodie Foster in the movie "Contact".

I ve heard all these points before but never pictured them being brought together this way, especially time dilation being explained as a re-orientation in another dimension instead of just a simple length contraction is pretty profound.
We cannot seem to beat time yet... But we can certainly capture it. Keep recording folks!❤🤙
Good job. Building models based on flawed or incorrect assumptions undermines the reliability of science. It's essential to acknowledge the limitations and inaccuracies in previous models, such as the variability in so-called constants. This recognition is crucial for advancing the pursuit of truth and accuracy in scientific understanding.
Maybe time moves through us rather than we move through it, therefore if you travel fast you catch up on it somewhat and it appears to slow down...just a thought, Gravity also seems to play a part in time dilation. The fourth dimension is a fascinating topic. Great video
This video can make a child understand time as the 4th dimension rather than theTetrahydrocubeism shape shifter or whatever that geometrical cartoon is called ,kinda makes you start believing the whole living in the Matrix theory
nice thought👌
Don't use your peanut size brain, it might explode
This is the first coherent, thoughtful, and original comment I’ve read yet. Very intriguing idea. Not sure if you came up with this idea yourself or are just passing along someone else’s idea, but regardless thanks for sharing. It gives me a lot to think about.
No. We must move through dimensions. If you don't accept that, you can't even understand 3D space.
I loved this! At last a description of space-time that makes sense. Thanks for the great animation.
One of the best videos I have watched on TH-cam.
The latest and most awesome idea I've seen incorporates gravity, and it's really interesting !
I have always thought that our passage through time was like falling, but no matter what energy you put in you can never stop falling, you can only slow or almost freeze your fall. Like falling into a black hole.
Be ause we exist inside of a black hole
@@LOTUG98 if we did live inside of a black hole, we would see nothing but light! And it doesn’t end there…
@@LOTUG98 when you say exist, are you referring to “now” or at some point in our future?
I agree it’s theoretically possible we could be somewhere a big bang and a singularity
From the right perspective, the singularity in a black hole would look just like the Big Bang.
I imagine that the universe is like a big swiss cheese. Each local universe is the inside of the event horizon of a black hole in an outer universe, and each local universe contains a multitude of black holes, each of which contains its own local universe.
The outer universe of a given local universe isn't larger, but all the black holes together form an network of black holes.
None of these singularities are the beginning of the universe, but from inside they look like they are the beginning of their local universe. This network is eternal.
I think of this as the Big Cheese Theory.
That is correct falling is a result of spacetime being bent so that our direction of time is angled toward the center. And I believe a black hole is where space has finally been bent at 90 degrees (well between 45 and 90 degrees).
What I love about models like this that explore the very limits of our cognitive capacity is that it reveals just how fine tuned and fundamentally incapable we are of sensing the reality of the universe we live in. We simply did not evolve the capacity to sense and observe beyond these boundaries, likely because they served no functional purpose for survival and reproduction. And now here we are, contemplating them, even if we can't physically sense them, because we know things are....strange.
Stranger still that you have the ability to think and express such ideas.
I''m quite intelligent but I don't have a fing clue what you are talking about.
@@Kris-ru5ue watch Donald hoffman. His ted talk is a good introduction. Then you would know exactly what he is talking about.
You're correct about our evolved limitations of sensing the universe around us, this is because evolution only cares about being able to survive long enough to reproduce effectively. As for the true nature of the universe that is a meaningless question. Meaningless because it's highly subjective it doesn't mean anything unless you are an observer in a specific context.
@@Kris-ru5ue use that big intelligence to explain its origins? You think intelligence is a happy coincidence of adaptation from gene copies gone wrong? If so, that sounds a stretch

Once spent Two weeks at a festival. Mid 90s. On getting home I saw a clock and remembered time existed.
For Two weeks I never thought of time, used time and had complete forgotten its concept. To see a clock took my breath away. A rare fundamental scar on my brain...
From our personal perspective, I describe time as a measurement of change. It sounds like you were having a great experience where you didn’t need to think about anything changing.
Bollox. I’m sure you were aware of night turning into day and day into night, therefore signalling the passage of time

I never understood AT ALL until now.
This is a phenomenal video that shows the greatest modern scientific achievement - the explanation of time. Just a small note, I believe that life energy is the force that pushes living beings on the 4D scale of space. More precisely, all this happens within the consciousness of living beings. Greetings from Serbia!
When you happy time feel short and when sad time longer. So its depended on the energy/light you are emitting. More spiritual light you are more you can see time at the same time

Great program. The explanation of why objects flatten when they travel at great speed was exceptionally informative.
We have vectors right in front of us we can't see, its informative and mind blowing.
Time being a dimension means we can theoretically move in more than one direction through it, maybe it’s just our consciousness that moves through time from one moment to the next and these moments are just like individual still images that form our life movie. Everything is always still, frozen in time, and by moving through it we make it seem as if it’s moving around us. Time is a mental block.
That’s a good point. Why do we only move one way through time but move multiple directions through the lower dimensions? So maybe time is not a dimension? Or we just don’t understand how to effectively move through it?
Time is a concept not a dimension.
@@CASHSEC I strongly disagree but you seem quite convinced, can you elaborate?
God will never allow time travel.
@@andreshernandez1180See my comments on existence and existence+1 as units to comprehend the same as the time concept. But the existence principal sits on a foundation that everything in the universe exists together but may change independantly from each other. So everything in the Universe all exist in the present and are always in the present. We are all stuck in the present. It's the present that moves along the "Arrow of Time". This arrow is a concept again to try to help our "concept" of what the Universe is. However it is all theoretical but most of it works for local practical applications so I'm not knocking it all I think is no one is ever going to time travel as we are all stuck in the present.

This is amazing. My little brain struggles to visualize it, but somehow it makes sense. The idea of looking far enough you could see the back of your head 🤯
I think about distance and time sometimes. It is facinating to think that the star we see in the sky now may have stopped existing as a star a billion years ago. Our future is the past somewhere else, and it is the inverse for that distant place. Just so interesting.
Yes, there is definitely a relationship between 'time' and distance. The maths required to enumerate such an equation is, alas, beyond me.
Distance=Time x speed
@@geoffas Distance=Time x Speed
Time moves along, that object still exists as a star at long distances. The starlight and gravity influences the universe as a star does, stars with this view may never really die out.
@geoffas it's called a Lorentz transformation and it's actually a fairly simple calculus. Most people could probably understand the equation within an hour or two if they have a good grasp of basic algebra. The derivation requires related rates, so that's calculus and differential equations, but that's undergraduate level stuff, completely within your ability
You are an excellent speaker in your video, which is well paced. You remind me of Brian Cox, who also studies and lectures on cosmology. I've long understood time in the context as you mention, and also I expand on that in the sense that "numbers" do not exist on the "number line" but are units of measure humans (and it seems some other species) use to count sets of objects or measure abstractions, such as the volume under a curved roof, and so on.
I did not really enjoy math until I took trig in college, and later studied calculus, and finally computer programming which allowed me to practically use math (in my case, designing free art programs for children and adults and as a systems accounting instructor).
You've won a new subscriber to your channel--you speak to your audience at just the right level, using analogies that make something that has baffled teachers, like myself, in explaining, since time measurement is very important in some applications of systems programming.
Wow. One of the best explanations I've ever seen.
This is by far the best explanation and graphics animation of special relativity I have seen EVER. And I have had my PhD in physics for 32 years now. However, the title of the video is completely misleading, if not wrong! Anyway, thank you so much for an excellent video.

Ugh, I remember being so fascinated by this stuff when I was their age. Still am ❤
That was one of my favorite shower thoughts. Another thing that I wondered about is at the big bang we were pushed in time very very fast, and we can fight against the speed at which we were pushed "forward" that is why time seems to be moving in only one direction. But if we can ever move in space very fast, close to the speed of light, moving through time would be easier. Also, this is the reason time feels like a different dimension to us, only because it happened to be the one we are moving the fastest through but in reality, it's just another direction that our brains interpreted as a different one, because it's the only one we can't change, YET. No scientific basis for anything here, but that is how I like to make sense of the universe when I'm alone. :)
Delta t divided by square root of c square by squared make it equals to delta prime, because time illusion mirror-image is non-superimposable compared to absolute Steve of there dimensional arrangement of time space continuum of illusion of timeless space.
That was the best explanation I have seen.
This is the best explanation of Time Dilation I have seen till date. Thanks
Definitely interested in more videos about the shapes of reality and how that influences our experience.
Like how each extra dimension is infinitely larger than the one beneath it, so you could look at our 3D universe as being an infinite number of infinitely thin frozen moments across the expanse of the fourth dimension of time, bookended by the big bang and heat death.
Also, as far as imagining four spatial dimensions, you CAN imagine what a 4D cube (hypercube/tesseract) would look like if you unfolded it. Just like a 3D cube unfolds into six squares, a 4D cube would unfold into six cubes.
@@PoisonOkie911 a square unfolds into 4 line segments, a cube unfolds into 6 squares, and a tesseract unfolds into 8 cubes I think
@@angelxenmai4413 Hmmm... I don't know. I just read that in a Brian Greene book.
The way they try to represent these things graphically there's a cube in the center, each of its faces is part of a cube, and there's one on the outside. I don't know if the ones in the center and on the outside really exist or if they're just a consequence of the geometry of the six cubes "connecting" them. Sort of like if you were to spin a circle about an axis it forms a sphere, but does that sphere really exist?
The way I was thinking about it, if you think about it in terms of faces, a square has one, a cube has six, and a hypercube has thirty-six. So I would think a 5-cube would have 216. What does that mean? I have no idea.
I like to think about it as similar to a 2D animation movie. In the same way, each frame of the film is just a two-dimensional slice of the whole thing, I think about 3D space and the world we experience is simply a three-dimensional slice of a higher-dimensional universe. It's like a 3D frame of a movie. Time is basically the frame rate that this 3D "movie" is being played back.
If a sphere passed through a 2D plane, the cross-section would be a dot expanding into a circle until it gets smaller and disappears again in a single point. I can't see how the Big Bang isn't the same thing as that, just in three dimensions.
Cheers Alex, what a great video
Thanks Mr Bacon. Such a warm response. Yes I know nothing about the science of time or light. Just what I see on YT. It is fascinating. There seem to be some that agree time is not a dimension. I tend to agree and think that time can be different when one is moving faster or slower or near objects of great mass that bend space and so effect the time taken to travel between points in space. Just the measure of the distance between events not a dimension itself.
@dalecarrol7627
Dear Mr. Carroll,
You're very welcome! I noticed that you were addressing another individual named Christian in the comments, but not replying to him in the appropriate way as you would on TH-cam. I wanted to advise you that what you are currently doing is making comments addressing the video, but what you want to do (and should be doing) is replying to comments from other individuals on the video who are replying to you. To do this, simply select the person's name and click reply. You'll know you're doing it correctly if the comment starts with an "@" symbol, which TH-cam will automatically add for you. For example, if you were to reply to me, the message should begin with "@shkotzim_bacon," which is my username. Make sure the message begins with that, and be sure not to delete it; otherwise, the person will not get a notification of your response.
Now, moving on to the rest of your message. While I agree that time may not be real in the sense that it's just a construct of our minds, it does indeed exist in science. In the field of relativity, time plays a critical role as a dimension and, when combined with the three dimensions of space, it forms a mathematical framework called spacetime. It's fascinating that you brought up the topic of mass changing the flow of time, which is actually a concept in general relativity known as gravitational time dilation.
Gravitational time dilation refers to the effect of gravity on the passage of time. According to general relativity, the presence of mass and energy curves (or bends) spacetime. This curvature of spacetime affects the flow of time itself. In the presence of large masses, such as planets, stars, or black holes, time runs slower relative to regions with weaker gravitational fields. This means that clocks closer to massive objects would tick at a slower rate compared to clocks further away. It's a remarkable phenomenon that has been experimentally confirmed. To put it in everyday terms, this means that the higher up you go on Earth, clocks tick faster, and the time experienced by your feet is a tiny, imperceptible amount slower than the time experienced at the top of your head.
On the other hand, kinematic time dilation, also known as time dilation due to relative motion, refers to the time difference experienced by two observers moving relative to each other at constant velocities. This effect is described by special relativity and is based on the principle that the speed of light is constant in all inertial frames of reference. An example of this would be the twin paradox, where two twins begin at Earth, and one leaves in a rocketship towards outer space. When they get back, one is older than the other. The paradox arises because it's relative to whom is actually accelerating - whether the rocket is moving away from Earth or Earth is moving away from the rocket is relative to each observer. Therefore, which one is older? The paradox is resolved because the twin on Earth is in an inertial frame of reference, and the twin, when he is in the rocket turning around, is in an accelerated(non-inertial) frame of reference. Therefore, when the twin arrives back on Earth, he realizes his twin has aged more than he has.
If you'd like to delve deeper into the topics of light and relativity, there are various resources that can help expand your understanding. Some recommended resources include books like "Relativity: The Special and General Theory" by Albert Einstein or "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. There are also numerous educational websites, lectures, and documentaries available on platforms like TH-cam or educational platforms like Coursera or Khan Academy. Furthermore, I am happy to recommend other videos and TH-cam channels if you're interested in that format and learning more.
I'd be more than happy to answer any more of your questions or continue the conversation. Please let me know if you would like to explore these topics further.
Best regards,
Mr. Bacon
“ Just the measure of the distance between events is not a dimension itself.” Exactly. See my post.
I used to be fascinated by information like this, but over the years, I became less interested in these topics, because after realizing our Human minds seem to be designed to not completely understand it all... almost like we weren't mean to. So now and days, whenever I do watch these kinds of videos (which is rare), I just enjoy the video. Great video 🙂

You have access to one human mind. That mind has made the choice to not spend the energy required to fully understand this information. A reasonable choice given that understanding this information is not an imperative for survival. However, it is an error to generalise your choice to all minds. There are some who have the ability. and the curiosity to drive that ability, to understand. I applaud them although my interests lie in other directions.

What we refer to as time is a sequence of countless events that change the image of the universe and beyond. If we could reverse all these events we would be able to go back in time which is not possible, as it is also not possible to reverse entropy. Why is it possible in filmed events? Because in those we reverse all the events captured on film, but also (although not visible) all the countless events which occurred during the filming.
Beautiful job Alex! Been a fan for years, and you just keep getting better! Thank you!
