  • In this video I show you what it would look like to slow the speed of light down to around walking speed. So with just walking around town you would experience relativistic effects. I talk about time dilation and length contraction and what it would look like to have it happen to you. Get the simulation created by MIT here: gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower...

    *Interesting note:* Even Einstein was mistaken on length contraction. He had said that a sphere would look like an ellipsoid. However, Penrose later proved that a sphere would still be spherical, although rotated. Notice in the simulation how the spheres are the only objects that don't look distorted when moving at near light speeds!

  • @DrewFeille
    @DrewFeille ปีที่แล้ว +259

    Here's one way to understand why things seem to get farther/longer at high speeds:
    Normally your eyes only catch light coming from a certain direction in front of you. But as you go faster, your eyes can catch up and intercept light that would normally be outside your file of view.
    So imagine that your eye is a bucket with its opening facing forward, and light photons are pellets being fired all around you. At rest, the only pellets that can enter the bucket are the ones in front. But if you move fast enough, you can outpace pellets that are traveling sideways, or even ones that are coming from an angle behind you, so your bucket can catch more pellets from a wider angle.
    If we go back to thinking about light: this is why the camera seems to zoom out when moving forward. Your eyes can now catch light coming from angles to the side, or even behind you.

    For understanding the Doppler effect in real life, I use sound - for example, when riding on a train and going past crossing bells at speed, or if a vehicle with sirens goes past, et cetera. The pitch audibly changes between coming towards you and going away.

      You can also use it in smaller examples: for instance, if you want to test a dog wistle, all it takes is for you to ride a bike away from it and you will start hearing it. It's also when an ambulanse is near you, you hear it loud and high-pitched, but as it passes you sound gets quieter and lower.

    I once played a game about a velocirraptor that changed the speed of light to 3m/s and it was really interesting. It explained weird relativistic effects, but in a third person camera. You could do cool things like keeping a powerup more time than you should or passing between fast moving platforms with time dillation, slipping between really close bullets, moving so that two different coloured objects appear the same to you because of Doppler effect, etc.

      Its relativistic space time dilation, not increased velocity. Remember, he is always moving at 2 meters per second throughout the whole game. He is decelerating light, not accelerating himself. So the contraction of space creates an acceleration like effect where distances that took 5 seconds to travel start to take 4 seconds then 3 seconds, so on so forth. The space between himself and his destination is contracting as the speed limit of the universe decreases, bending the rules of relativity into a more observable state.

      Hyperspace and warp speed are totally wrong.

      All the stars in the sky would bunch up, moving forwards, none being seen out the rear windows or side-rear windows. All the stars would be in side windows or in front windows.
      And they would all be either red or blue, except a few that were shining into your side windows, which would still be white..
      But, keep in mind, the stars in your side windows had just bunched up, and had been behind-and-to-the-side just before you hit the hyperdrive button.
      So, the only white stars would be the ones you are traveling away from at a very specific angle. And only that angle.

      Actually, all sci fi movies have it totally wrong, epecially Star Trek and Star Wars.
      Firstly, you would rarely pass a star. The space ships never travel very far at all.
      Secondly, all the stars would move forwards, towards the direction of travel. They would bunch up, with none behind you.. And they would all change to blue or red, except for the few stars whose light is coming from a slight angle from the side, those would stay white.
      The sky would just sit there for many years not changing yntil you reached the closest star, about 3 months after you hit the "warp speed" button, or went into hyperspace.
      Boring-ass movie, though.

I mean the Sun is so far away from Earth that it takes 8 minutes and 30 seconds for light to reach us. So does that mean we are looking the Sun 8 minutes and 30 seconds in the past?

    Very interesting video!
    The game "Warframe" has such physics when you try to reach the highest possible running speed with buffs.
    It goes so far that you can see your Warframe running upside down on your screen.
    You can see it in the TH-cam-video "Warframe: Saint of Plus Ultra" uploaded by Zanagoth - skip to Minute 2:27 - there it starts to get interesting.

    I see time and space simila to quantity of movement: on object could move straight or rotate on itself, or a mix of these two. The important thing is that the total quantity of movement remains the same. It seems the same with energy and time: when you gain energy (by acquiring speed or by staing near a mass) you loose time, and viceversa.

    I have had this question ever since I realized the stars we are looking at are actually light waves finally reaching our eyes from however many m(b)illion years ago. Obvious theoretical question: If you look directly at the surface of a planet (looking at trees, water, lava, some weird fish frog, etc.) in a distant galaxy, and you travel directly to it, without ever breaking direct visible contact, would you being seeing time as "sped up"? The light reflected off the planet, and into whatever advanced machine that could ever bring in that amount of light and allow this to be possible, is essentially just a timeline in which you would be travelling through.
    How much would the speeds of which we are travelling effect what is being observed? How fast would you need to go to see things as sped up? If you could travel faster than the speed of light, what would happen if you went the opposite direction? Could you perceive time on that planet as reversed?

    • @eclatdeepurer5894
      @eclatdeepurer5894 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That is actually mind blowing. Amazing how you can perceive a distant object at different states of time, but the object itself is in the "present".

    • @coupledyetivonvanderburg5385
      @coupledyetivonvanderburg5385 ปีที่แล้ว

      To answer the first set of questions, you would absolutely perceive the events occurring on that planet as though they were sped up. This would pronounced at any relativistic speeds, so anywhere in that .7c-.9999c range. We could do the calculations to determine just how fast those events would unfold before your eyes, but to simplify, imagine you are travelling towards some planet a lightyear away at 99.99% the speed of light. To an outside observer, you will reach that planet in approximately a year and some change; however, to you, that trip takes only about five days. Yet in those five days, a year's worth of events occurs on the planet towards which you are travelling.
      As for the second set of questions, it's difficult to say how one might perceive the universe when travelling past the speed of light, our mathematical models fall apart at that point. That said, if you were to move away from that same planet from earlier at near the speed of light, you would still counterintuitively perceive that it was sped up, because time dilation doesn't care about about direction. That said, where when travelling towards that planet it would appear brighter and bluer, moving away it would appear redder and dimmer.
      Interestingly, and where this all becomes rather confusing, is that the light itself, those photons with the information we're looking at, will always be perceived as moving at the speed of light, regardless of how fast or in what direction we are moving. As an example, let's say that in the very first second of your trip, when you are going 99.99% the speed of light towards the hypothetical planet, if you were to broadcast a radio signal to that planet to tell them of your arrival, they would receive that broadcast three and half days before you arrive and not a second sooner. Although that broadcast was sent from your ship going near the speed of light, it would never gain any additional velocity, and both you and those who received that message would agree about exactly how fast it travelled even though you would disagree about the amount of time it took or the distance it travelled
      Edit: I was incorrect about the moving backwards hypothetical
