In this video I show you how to make a material that makes light bend! I first show you that light always moves in a straight line. then I show you how you can change the direction of the straight line. Then I show you a material that continually changes the direction of the light rays so that it curves!

Light travels in a straight line path, when connecting a series of points set in an arched pattern, it looks like an arc or bend. It's only connecting the dots.

The fact my mind automatically does that when i read it.
I was searching for such a comment
The density gradient of the atmosphere does this too, allowing you to see objects that are geometrically below the horizon, and causing sunrises to appear earlier and sunsets later than they occur astronomically. The dispersion in this bending (variability with wavelength) also causes the "green flash" occasionally seen just at sunset over the ocean.
And that's where the flat earth scam started.
@@primonomeultimonome
He actually proves FE because he's showing you light does bring objects above the curve it makes everything above the surface appear lower than they are.
Pay attention for once.
@@wideawake2814 Too bad that light bends down, thus destroying your imaginary pancake. I'd advise you to pay attention but it's obvious that a flerf cannot.
@@primonomeultimonome
You're right light bends down not up and over a curve. While he is on the other side of the tank pointing his light imagine being on the other side looking at that light. It bends down giving you the illusion of it setting when in fact it's still high in the sky. So much for your imaginary curve, the video shows the hump is an illusion. You can do a simple observation with a magnifying glass at eye level with a long counter and see how it affects not only the surface but also what's in the background. You have to have the light bending upwards for your globe theories to work. lol Up up and over the curve we go.
@@wideawake2814 When lights bends down, the curve looks flat, that's also what happens on Earth. Say goodbye to all your supposed FE "evidence". But of course flerfs can't grasp basic optics. Thanks for the comedy gold buddy.
This is one of the coolest light experiments I've ever seen. When the camera was below the counter.. this is cool. Thanks man!

_Bob McCoy YOU, ARE, EVERYWHERE,

Lightsabers
Just for completeness, I'd like to mention that due to diffraction (caused by light being both a wave and a particle) light actually IS capable of moving around corners and not only in a straight line, even without using this material. However, the amount of light that "bends" this way in a normal environment is very minimal, so the effect is not generally noticeable.
Is that why I can see the lensing effect when I look at an object far away through the edge of an object that is just after my eyes?
@@black_crest I'm not sure what you mean by lensing effect, since diffraction from an edge shouldn't change the focus noticeably, though it might warp the image you see. But it sounds to me like you are describing a diffractive effect.
AAH SO MANY PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTAND THIS
@@black_crest Possibly. The lensing effect caused by edge diffraction is not discernible from the lensing effect caused by refraction due to materials with different refractive indices. Radio waves also bend when passing over a sharp edge. Light also bends due to gravity. The bend is not negligible when large distances are involved… scientists have measured the shift in apparent position of stars due to our sun (seen during a solar eclipse) and during the Cold War, India and Russia maintained a radio communication link by aiming a radio wave at the sharp peaks of the Himalayan Mountain range that ordinarily blocked line of sight radio communications and made the laying of copper/fiber cable impractical. The knife edge peaks of the tall mountains gave a signal path similar to a radio wave bounced off the ionosphere, but was not subject to the varying and unreliable height of the ionosphere.

If light can be bent if you change the density of the material, cant an airbender change the density of the air so the light can bend?
@@aydengunn957 e
What about dark matter

I was taught (many years ago) a photon has no mass that's the only way it can travel as fast as it does. No mass = no momentum. But yes you are bending light. If you change the pressure in the whole volume would this change the bending angle ? Modulate with sound to scan ? Interesting. Great work.

R.I.P joke

Finally a better explanation of refraction! Tysm
Awesome, I did not expect the effect to be so prominent, this is just a crazy good visualisation.
I've seen physicists talking about light slowing down when going through a transparent material. Apparently, what's happening is more complicated than atoms absorbing and emitting photons. It has more to do with light acting as a wave through the material and interference with that wave. It might be more accurate to imagine it as the electrons in the material causing drag on the photons. Like a piece of metal moving past a magnet. Although I'm sure some physicist will have a problem with that explanation as well. I'm probably not describing the process exactly right, but I think it's closer to what is actually going on.
Had to pause the video to find this comment lol. As an armchair physicist, basically yes, the resulting light in the medium is the original incoming photon plus all the electrons being disturbed by, and affecting as a result, the electric field. That all adds up to one composite wave which has a sub-light group speed. Interestingly, the phase speed can be faster than c, that's why you sometimes see articles about a material having faster-than-light properties. But the phase speed doesn't carry any information and doesn't represent the speed of the actual photon.
@@DFPercush Haha, I did the same.
The absorbed photon loses it's momentum, doesn't it? Why would it keep its direction when reemited? It's bad how many people repeat the myths explaining the refraction, so it's nice to see the comments of You two. Here's a video I found when searching for the answer and that I enjoyed: czcams.com/video/CUjt36SD3h8/video.html
The part that follows (@6:18) makes some sense, but is also wrong. Seems the author went with the Fermat principle. Discussed in the follow up video to the one I've posted above: czcams.com/video/NLmpNM0sgYk/video.html
So if there was a specific frequency wave pattern to affect the direction of light(photons), would that make it possible to have physically touchable light?
Or possible to manipulate a collective bunch of photons together as a hologram?
(Still learning, if I sound off correct me please lol)
@@Doriedejai I assume you mean solid light, since all light is physically touchable. And to answer that, I don't think so. No frequency of waves in water or air makes them solid enough to press without passing through.
@@DFPercush I thought I was keeping up until you lost me at phase speed.
I think it's awesome that you still get excited doing experiments you have probably done 100 times before. And then you laugh like you probably did when you were a kid doing experiments at home with your friends. Love your passion and your videos! Thanks 👾

Great video! I found myself unconsciously leaning forward towards my monitor and dropping my jaw! I'm going to be thinking about this for years
Cool experiments! Near the end of your video, you showed a picture of a mirage, due to a temperature inversion. Well! There's another property of temperature inversions that I've only seen once outdoors. At U of I in Champaign-Urbana I loved to take long bike rides in the flat country. It was hot, and sunny but there was no breeze. I looked to the side and the soybean plants were being blown by a strong wind in a circular pattern. There was a powerful vortex (a "dust devil"). Dust and dry leaves were being sucked upwards for more than 500 to 800 feet. I understand the basic idea of a vortex; somehow .the hot air at the ground punctured through the layer of air and began spinning, but I never saw a stationary dust devil before; it didn't move at all during the half hour I watched. This might be put to a practical use if a dark cone was built, with hot air being drawn through ducts to a central column with a wind turbine generator at the top
12:34 I used to always wonder why on hot days it looked like there was water on the road but as I got close it went away
Wait there wasn't a red arrow in the thumbnail therefore I have absolutely no idea what i'm supposed to be looking at...
Lol
I wanted to see the light bending like it did in the thumbnail but the picture is obviously FAKE!
byte01010101me you can just not as drastically as in the thumbnail
That would be interesting to use with PV cells to determine if the output would increase. In a cylinder it would also capture light from multiple angles and bend it downward.

You are also sending the light just above it's critical angle for those materials(form sugar to water). At critical angle the light goes straight with the boundary between two materials(here sugar and water).But if the angle of incidence is larger than critical angle then the light doesn't go to the material which have lower refractive index(here water),totally comes back to the material which have much refractive index.This phenomenon is called Total Internal Refraction. Based on this concept optical fibers are made.
Man this channel always comes in clutch when I'm super bored lol
so I don't know if anyone else noticed this but the way it bends light in the backround is EXACTLY like what happens with a black hole and this could potentially help us understand how blackholes affect light

So can you make an invisibility cloak by creating an air density gradient around you?
Yes, but it would be harder than you think. Plus you would need a material that bends it how you want it, so you are invisible. Meaning you wouldn't be ivisible from some angles

Very very fascinating.
Thank you for that. Something you don't really think about.
I want this person to be my science teacher in school 🤩
so something flat looks curved because of a difference in density of the medium in which the light is traveling through. So if the earth was flat, would the difference in air density affect the light traveling through the air making us see curvature?
