Special Relativity | Lecture 1

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 เม.ย. 2012
- (April 9, 2012) In the first lecture of the series Leonard Susskind discusses the concepts that will be covered throughout the course.
In 1905, while only twenty-six years old, Albert Einstein published "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" and effectively extended classical laws of relativity to all laws of physics, even electrodynamics. In this course, Professor Susskind takes a close look at the special theory of relativity and also at classical field theory. Concepts addressed here includes space-time and four-dimensional space-time, electromagnetic fields and their application to Maxwell's equations.

Imagine getting lectured on special relativity by Prof. Susskind for free, what a time to be alive
For free? Only on yt
Very original comment. I have not read this same comment a million times. Obviously not. Your brain sure comes up with new creative ideas every time. Bravo
@@saimbhat6243 imagine being bitter over seeing many people be grateful for the same thing
@@jesusthroughmary its hard to imagine "jesusthroughmary" actually appreciates the physical science involved. don't you people think the earth was made 6 thousand years ago or something? I'd always figured with folks like that in your community, y'all must not appreciate science very much?
@@lillyclarity9699 and you claim to be educated, what a world
I fell asleep listening to Veritasium and somehow ended up here when I woke up to this.
If Veritasium is an exotic starter, then this is the main course and I'm loving it!
Good Job you.... YT machine learning recomendation engine!!
Me too. How wonderful
Me too. That’s pretty awesome.
always ends up in some kind of stanford lecture for me when i wake up lol. wish i could retain knowledge while i was sleeping.
I fell asleep to professor Dave
I fell asleep watching a philosophy channel and woke up to this lol 🤣
I fell asleep with my phone on and this is what i found, not disappointed
Yeah me too
Same lol.... Leonard Suskind is pretty entertaining
XD
dude same lmao
Me too lol
I’ve waken up to this video so many times I’m starting to sort of understand special relativity
Lies again? Special moment
I woke up to this... I'm going to watch from the beginning to make sure I get it right.
I fell asleep watching different ways too cook an omelette and somehow woke up to this. I know I don’t belong here so I’ll see myself out hehe
Hahahaha it's completely the same thing what happened to me rn
How fast was the omelette going, with respect to your reference frame?
get back here, google knows something you dont, it knows you need more quantom physics
I was watching how to make 3d rockets, so i feel i am at least in the same universe, plus i recognise Prof. Suskind
Veritasium - Simplest math problem no one can solve, TH-cam autoplayed this next ... um ok .. sure I suppose I'm ready for this now, after watching that... saved myself thousands on college ..
Thank you Stanford University, having access to these lectures means more than you know. I was an average student in grade school who couldn't pinpoint what direction to follow and now at 28 it's clearer and although the signs have always been there I'm seeing and listening with clearer senses and again I'm so very grateful you have these lectures available for people like me. Education in this world is important more now than ever and I hope you all know how much value you're adding to the world by sharing knowledge. Thank you again so very much. I hope one day to be an official student.
What direction did you choose to follow?
Wondering why these kind of lectures help me sleep so well when I came to the ugly realization that it's most likely because it brings me back to a simpler time of... sleeping in class.
Thank you so much to whoever was behind the decision to film these and post them online for free. I'm going through it slowly but it's amazing to have the opportunity to watch these amazing lectures.
Yeah it is
or sum
i wake up every morning, & when my mind is freshest i make a few flashcards. A gentle stream cuts through stone
I use supermemo to stop me from forgetting what i learnt
This is because in the past, i worked through this really nice, gentle big book called Engineering Maths (by KA Stroud). But I forgot a lot of it = it was rather a case of "in 1 ear & out the other". But with Supermemo the knowledge is permanent

Countless times i have been studying length contraction
This is the first clear explanation about the meaning of measurement
"No contradiction"
I respect professors who go read the original work of scientists and turn it into an amusing lecture. I just enjoyed every second of this video. Thank you very much Sir
Many thanks to Stanford and Prof. Susskind. I've watched a few series, and I really love the way he explains things, in a very logical and simple way. Helped me understand many things that apparently were not as clear as they should have been to me!
This is one of my favorite topics! Thank you so much!
Super thanks for making this public. My classes and text barely touch on these concepts. Can't thank you enough.
this video is amazing. Truly easy and fundamental. Thank you so much for the upload. Much appreciated. And professor Susskind, I must say that I am a big fan!
This is a God sent seriously. Been reading through three books today and a lecture discussing the same topics u talked about in the first 11 minutes. Yours made so much sense - I really appreciate all the chronological science history as you teach. So many leave the little things out.
Professor Leonard Susskind is one of the fathers of string theory, I am happy to watch this lecture series.
a sahaniss iy mazigh 😀
I have always had trouble thinking about relativity and this really helped me in starting to wrap my head around it
And, so did you notice any corresponding change in your relations with special relatives? 🤔
@@woodpeckery starting to understand them better as well
@@woodpeckery LMAO
This first lecture really blew my mind the first time i saw. This isn't gold; it's platinum! Susskind continues to inspire my own teaching, and of course, my study of physics :)
I can only say that prof Suskind is one of his kind and I feel I am really privileged to hear him speak and teach physics. He is a real genius!
I shall watch this particular lecture regarding Lorentz Transformations. This Is amazing lecture by an amazing teacher. Dr. Susskind.
Wow. when he got to the lorenz transformations I was just blown away. I had seen this before but seeing how einstein actually worked this through... it gave me chills. a true legend. thank you prof susskind.
Yeah, I read somewhere that Einstein's method was like climbing the hill from a very steep path where there is a less steep one available (now).
@@zombiesalad2722 I heard the same thing from minutephysics.
The funny thing is, if you know absolutely nothing about physics, you can discover SR all by yourself. Sadly, most folk have been trained to think that this is not the case at all, even though a high school dropout can do it.
@@new-knowledge8040 yes for sure only if he has the same level of boldness as sir Einstein to declare time is not absolute:)
Zabzazim
It's actually amazing that working through deriving the way space and time relate to each other under coordinate transformations is extraordinarily clear and makes total sense, as long as the only special assumption is that the speed of light must remained fixed. Also, I've always wondered why Einstein would make that assumption in the first place, but his mention of thinking about Maxwell's Equations also makes total sense. You shouldn't be able to make the electromagnetic field vanish by moving fast enough.
Njjybbh hi ghnkyhhubsw. A
TIME DILATION IS FULLY EXPLAINED, AS THE ULTIMATE MATHEMATICAL UNIFICATION OF PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE IS CLEARLY PROVEN:
A PHOTON may be placed at the center of what is THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. (The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky.) Time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that electromagnetism/ENERGY IS GRAVITY, as C4 is a POINT that is ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (ON BALANCE) as SPACE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Time DILATION proves that electromagnetism/ENERGY IS GRAVITY, AS E=mc2 is DIRECTLY and fundamentally derived from F=ma. E=mc2 IS F=ma. A planet AND a star thus constitute what is A POINT in the night sky. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ACCORDINGLY, I have ALSO fully explained the MATHEMATICAL UNIFICATION of Einstein's equations and Maxwell's equations (GIVEN THE ADDITION OF A FOURTH SPATIAL DIMENSION); AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. The Sun AND the Earth are F=ma AND E=mc2. Great. SO, ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. AGAIN, time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 is F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Great. Indeed, this NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. (E=mc2 IS F=ma.) Therefore, INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. SO, GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. MOREOVER, a given PLANET (including WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal areas in equal times consistent WITH/AS E=MC2, F=MA, AND what is perpetual motion; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=MA; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GREAT !!! It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. E=mc2 IS F=ma. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) E=MC2 IS F=ma. Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 IS F=ma. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Magnificent !!!

This is what you need to know.
THE FULL UNDERSTANDING OF TIME (AND TIME DILATION), AS E=MC2 IS CLEARLY F=MA ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity:

TIME dilation ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Balance and completeness go hand in hand. E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! Comparatively, consider the man who IS in outer "space". Great. AGAIN, the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky !! AGAIN, TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves in what is a BALANCED FASHION that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy ON BALANCE. E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE !!! NOW, carefully consider that the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky !!! Great !!! "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is balanced electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity.

By Frank DiMeglio
UNDERSTANDING TIME AND THE CLEAR MATHEMATICAL PROOF THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity:
ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS “mass”/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma. Therefore, the planets will move away very, very, very slightly in BALANCED relation to what is THE SUN. (Also, carefully consider what is THE EARTH.) Great !!! This explains the cosmological redshift AND the “black hole(s)”. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. “Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. SO, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution; AND objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course) !!! Time dilation ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense, AS BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. Balanced inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is fundamental. Time is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! GREAT. Stellar clustering ALSO proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity.

@@frankdimeglio8216 Speed of light being constant in al frames I believe Einstein learned from the Michelson-Morley Experiment into the luminiferous ether.
I cannot think of physics without prof Suskind. It is amazing to see a genius like him teach being humble to the core despite his genius! He is exemplary in every way! God bless him and wish he gets his Nobel Prize which he richly deserves very soon!
Im using these videos to fall asleep too to hopefully learn something and get smarter the same way i learnt every word to every song i use to sleep
Amazing. I hope I can take it until lecture 10.
This is great! I am in the equivalent of last year of high school and love watching university lectures of subjects I have in school. Having a proper explanation of these concepts makes understanding the analogies we’re fed in school a lot more digestible. Can’t wait for University next year!
Wow ur cool
Thank you Dr Susskind. Posting this comment right at the top here as a high school physics teacher. The first 4 lectures are the perfect introduction for my students into special relativity, taught the way it was meant to be taught--straight from Einstein's paper, explained in common language. I show these first 4 videos every year at the end of our units on classical mechanics as a follow-up. The kids love them, and love Dr Susskind. Thank you thank you! Follow up--thank you for our list of Susskind-isms--"time is time is time is time", "derove", and who could forget poor Seymore, out there on his world line all alone waiting for a light ray.
The word "derove" did stand out in my memory but I didn't think of anything wrong with it until I read your comment, haha
What's the difference between this course "Special Relativity" and "Modern Physics: Special Relativity" also by Susskind?
I watched this, well more like tried to watch this right before I started my bachelors in Astrophysics a couple years ago. I was beyond lost. Now after a couple years under my belt, it makes so much sense now. I love the way he teaches this topic.
Below is an attempt at calculating how many people go on to complete all the lectures.
As of July 15, 2021, here are the stats for the views and likes for the 10 videos in this series:
Lecture 1: 897024; 6.7k
Lecture 2: 212144; 1.2k
Lecture 3: 225383; 1.2k
Lecture 4: 139619; 779
Lecture 5: 99385; 543
Lecture 6: 80824; 512
Lecture 7: 65712; 478
Lecture 8: 67962; 480
Lecture 9: 74709; 464
Lecture 10: 71365; 508
Around 900k people watched the first video, and 6.7k liked it. 71k watched the last video, and 508 liked it. As a rough first approximation, at most around 8% of the viewers who watched the first video might have gone on to complete all the lectures.
Wow, this prof is really good. Never in my lifetime I can get to be lectured on Can'tafford university. XD
Jers N thats Leonard Suslikin (excuse the spelling ) the father of string theory, hes very famous

A very nice series of introductory lectures pervaded of Richard Feynman's spirit.

That's a good question.
But the galaxies are not being separated by their movement. It's space itself that is expanding. Their distance is increasing exponentially, but their velocity isn't.
Give this man a nobel prize for teaching
these lectures are so valuable
Thanks Stanford, and Dr Susskind for these great lectures! Never had the chance to take relativity.
At 1:27:25, it shows t is dilated when t'=1 from the view point of moving frame, but t' is contracted from the view point of the rest frame. For example t=1, x=1 are both contraceted in the moving frame to sqrt(1-v^2). Time and space are both contracted in the moving frame. Contraction of time is slowing down of the clock, i.e. dilation of time.
Very good! Thank you Stanford.
YOU ARE LEGENDS. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO LECTURES. Forever in your debt.

These special relativity lectures, and the whole series of physics courses of which they are a part, are excellent. Susskind's explanations are very thorough. Thanks to them, I understand the material better than I did when I was a physics major 40 years ago. He does occasionally slip up with minus signs, but this gives you the opportunity to redo the derivation and figure out where the slip occurred, where doing this definitely helps you learn the material better.
Rather, the idea is based on an error in logic:
_"The 2 photons will have been sent simultaneously only if they arrive simultaneously at the midpoint, therefore if they arrive simultaneously at the midpoint then they will have been sent simultaneously."_
That is, "if p then q, therefore if q then p".
This is a formal fallacy in propositional logic, called "affirming the consequent".
The truth of the matter is that the photon at B is fired later than the photon at the origin, and this because it has to travel a shorter distance in order to arrive at A at the same time as the photon from the origin arrives at A. And so we see from the chart that B is at t>0.
So there is only 1 time scale, t, for you can't have a moving system of clocks and have those clocks not tick. Clocks tick. That's what they do.
So t' is only 0 along the x axis, which is where (and when) the first photon is fired, for the first photon is fired at the origin and at the origin t' is on the x axis. After that, t' is greater than 0, because its clocks are ticking. And so t' is synonymous with t, and therefore superfluous: we only need t.
The problem is that the issue is not really a physics issue, but a logic issue. Physicists are not necessarily good at logic. Logic is a different skill.
If you wish to see how SRT is errant at its very first derivational step, just search "Nullification of Relativity Theory via the Sufficiency of the Galilean Velocity Transformation", click on the viXra link, and then click on v2 of the PDF.

This knowledge is so valuable. It was so difficult to find a lecture that used this simple method of plotting these quantities on a Cartesian plane. That makes it so much easier to see how all these quantities relate. Sure, it is a longer video than you find on some of the pop science channels that are popular. But an investment of a hour is more than worth it. The attempts to gloss over this step on popular videos might make the video get more plays and likes. But it shorts the viewer on the necessary steps.
❤Precisely . Those steps require real care.

It may be for we first describe a 3D space and then we had time in it. So we try to describe the motion in one or more dimensions in a way we are more comfortable in visualising it. The following is an extract from wikipedia:

44:00 The 2 in the numerators come from twice the distance between the moving clocks. Since the 2's cancel, the slope v is independent of the units of this value. We could change the distance between the moving clocks and the slope of the line joining the moving clocks at 0 and b would still be v. This shows that the t' = 0 axis passes through b.

Thanks for the information, Romero. As for our friend Timeisabsolute, I totally agree. It is his faith now. But the main point is that he thinks Einstein said that two cloks which were synchronized at some piont in space will be forever synchronized whenever they meet again. As far as I understood it, that's exactly the opposite that means relativeness of time.
“If Einstein is right”… that statement alone transforms this into a philosophy class alas to run with it is mind-boggling.
Both of you go sip some fucking tea
No book has shown that why (ct)^2 - (X^i)^2 is the length element. They just say it is because of invariant purpose.
It's a statement of the invariance of the speed of light.
The fact that the expression you wrote is the same in any two frames is a statement that the speed of light c is the same in those two frames.
This is amazing and simple
Regardind clock sync.: suppose in all reference frame a second beam is emmited simultaneously along the y axes with the one along x axes. For simplicity, suppose they put a mirror on y axes at the distance L/2 and measure the coordinates of both beams - when arrives back to the origin for y beam and when arrives at the middle reference frame for x beam, i. e. resolve the equations both for x and y axes.
Its would fine if it in these lectura to have some translations, especially into spanish. Thanks a lot.

I approved with honores my class just seeing his classes.
50:00 Presumably, the light ray is emitted from the origin when the origins of both frames coincide. Then x=t and x' = t' for the ray.
Is there a recommended textbook to go with these lectures?
One question after watching the first hour.. how was v supposed to be defined? In terms of the stationary reference frame? If so wouldn't the moving frame measure v differently since it measures x t differently?
v is just the relative speeds between the reference frame.
There is no such thing as a stationary reference frame. You arbitrarily choose a reference frame and call that stationary.
Let me phrase that better. The point of relativity is that there is no such thing as "the stationary reference frame". What we do instead is we compare two different reference frames, which move relative to each other at a speed v. There is no need to confuse yourself with the fact that x and t are measured differently. It is really a matter of symmetry. S' moves at a speed v relative to S means that the origin in the frame of reference of S, yes measured in x and t coordinates of S, moves at a speed v in the positive x-direction. But clearly, no-one stops you from choosing S' to be the frame that is stationary (i.e like jumping onto the spaceship which is moving relative to the earth), in which case clearly S will move with speed v in the opposite direction-:in your -x' direction.
You only begin to worry about x and t being measured differently when you consider TWO events which are separated in space or time. In this case you simply are tracking the origin of the other reference frame.
The point is that any line at this angle can be written as y=-x + c (for some constant c) ... and yes that c intercept is the constant since rearranging gives y+x=c along that line.
thanks Stanford and Susskind Sir for these amazing lectures❤🙏
More humor at 1:23:00. That Rolex watch from New York stole the show. This was an excellent lecture, professor. :)
Try 1:44:00 too. 'Derove'... ;)
I would be highly grateful if english auto generated subtitles would be provided for this playlist
It is possible to derive 2 contradictory time dilation equations. The first paragraph below describes the situation with Sally aiming a flashlight straight up and down so that Sally sees the light moving straight up and down and John is outside the spaceship and sees the light forming a triangle with the floor of the spaceship. The second paragraph describes Sally aiming a flashlight towards the left while the spaceship moves to the right. Now the situation is exactly reversed. Sally sees the light forming a triangle with the floor and John sees the light bouncing straight up and down.
Sally is in a moving spaceship. John is outside the spaceship. Sally is moving to the right at .6c. The height of her spaceship is .8 light-seconds. If Sally has a light clock with the light bouncing straight up and down the light will make a 3-4-5 right triangle from the viewpoint of John. If the change in time for Sally is delta T_o and the change in time for John is delta T then the following equation can be derived: delta T = delta T_o/((1-.6^2)^.5). So .8 seconds for Sally = 1 second for John.
Now Sally has a light clock but this time she is holding a flashlight at an angle of 53.13 degrees above the horizontal and pointed to the left. Now the leftward movement of the light exactly matches the rightward movement of the spaceship from John's viewpoint. Now the light is bouncing straight up and down from the viewpoint of John and the light is making a 3-4-5 right triangle from viewpoint of Sally. If the change in time for Sally is delta T_o and the change in time for John is delta T then the following equation can be derived: delta T_o = delta T/((1-.6^2)^.5). So 1 second for Sally = 0.8 seconds for John. The 2 equations are in direct contradiction to each other.
Special relativity is falsified.
I wonder has my brain learned something of these lectures all the time I have listened to these while sleeping 😂
Thanks a million times for the video, but could the camera man be less active and be more static throughout the lecture? I'm feeling dizzy..
Too many shifts in reference frames!
He looks like Mike from Breaking Bad
lol true
He looks like a mix between John Malkovich and that guy lol
oh man..that's him!!!!
I was thinking the same thing.
For me he looks like Jacque Fresco
Question, around 51:25 when he shows that the two scaling functions (Lorentz factor) f(v) and g(v) must be equal for the space and time components by saying that when x = ct, x' = ct', doesn't this only show that f(c) = g(c)?
x' = (x - vt)•f(v) and t' = (t - vx)•g(v), setting x=t, x'=t',
x' = x(1 - v)•f(v) = x(1 - v)•g(v) = t'
(1 - v)•f(v) = (1 - v)•g(v) only for the initial assumption v = c.
I could construct a similar function (4 - v)•2v = (4 - v)•v² which is only true for v = 2.
Also, is the assumption the gamma is only a function of the magnitude of the velocity, and not the vector the assumption that the universe is isotropic?
really sir you are simply great. and thanks for clear my doubts
sussy relativity
If anyone is looking for an easier explanation of special relativity's concepts, I highly recommend VSauce's "Would Headlights Work at the Speed of Light?" video. He has a lot of graphical and animated explanations there, while these lectures involve more mathematical proofs and calculations. I found learning the concepts first and coming back here for the math much easier, especially since I'm doing this before quantum mechanics (standard curriculum teaches QM first).
+RunItsTheCat I would argue that Special Relativity is MUCH easier than QM. And, indeed, at my university special relativity is taught in 1st year whereas QM is taught in 2nd year
+RunItsTheCat First notice that their is an Eter. Thats fact! So no we debunk this
shit by the sionist fraud St Einstein. Dayton Miller redid the
Michaelsson experiments but 10000 more carefully and did se interaction.
To day we see it for Bifeldt Brown , Casmir effect and 100 other
things. The EM wave does spread out transversal into Eter with C but
the dielectric vawe propagates faster ( Tesla did calculate) . The
magnetic propagation vawe never determined at all ! But true they
probably are longitudal and thats for study. So no go and study the
artifact,, co-rotating magnet and faraday disk for example. If we
check two conductors parallell with same vector currents. If you are the
"electron" propagating in one conductor and your buddie is in the other
conductor moves parallell to you with same speed, do you se any
relative movement? No HELL no. You are moving at constant speed and so
is your friend. BUT YOU VILL notice that your conductor moves to your
friends conductor and the opposite !!!!!!!!! The relativists explains
this with circular argument introducing their fraud theory. If we take
in an eter you got your relativity but the relativists does not like
eter but today they call it dark energi and a lot of other crap. REad
Bjerknes book St Einstein pdf at youtube to get why the banksters gaved
us this fraud. E = MC2 was known by Maxwell before Einstein was dry
behind the ears. The space is working by electricity and birkeland,
Tesla and the real physisits did all this finnished together with the
guru and legend Hannes Alfvén. The establishment does not wont us to
know as they want us to live dumbed down.
Zekerias Varg "Quality trolling"
+Alter Kater Nature was my teacher.
+Alter Kater "bullshit" that you cant debunk.
I'm always waking up to this guy
On twins paradox he said tha the one that stays home is a bit older that the one that moves , but i want to ask is that not reletive to the point of reference?
So to me you are the one that moves/ accelerate , while to you its me that moves/accelerate. So how we determine for whom the time runs slower?
Cameraperson: if the prof writes something based on other info on the board, make sure that other info is also in frame.
So this is why I'll be going to school on 4 hours of sleep.
I am attending online classes for 8hrs a day
This is the best lecture
I have a question for Professor Suskind in case you are reading comments. How would the universe be like if speed of light is not a constant. I mean if a train travelling at 40 mph and light beam send by a person in the train is measured to be c + 40 by a person in the platform?
any kind soul can subtitle this whole thing?
ye it would be reeeaaaaally appreciated (this one and the other theoretical minimum courses)
how to enable subtitles? thanks I am deaf
Subtitles don't work with this lecture. Try MIT Opencourseware Relativity where they work. Just click the CC on the bottom
thanks
on youtube i dont find MIT Opencourseware Relativity.. do you have a link?

I have the same question as the one that the person asked at 1:29:00. All the assumptions are based on uniform movement. There is no acceleration involved.
If talk about acceleration that should be part of general relativity.
Confusion around 24:00
It says:
"what about me who is moving? ...when I get to this point over here, let's say that it just happens to be the point when you emit your simultaneous light rays..."
Is the word "point" being used here in two different meanings, one as a position x and another as a moment in t? If the second is indeed t, then according to which clock was it defined?
The word point is describing a (t’, x’) coordinate in the (t’,x’) plane. Since the person in the middle telling the two people whether they are in sync is moving at the same velocity as the person on the right (the prime frame)
