Dr. Kaku addresses the question "What if Einstein's theory of relativity is wrong?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MICHIO KAKU:
Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of string field theory, and is one of the most widely recognized scientists in the world today. He has written 4 New York Times Best Sellers, is the science correspondent for CBS This Morning and has hosted numerous science specials for BBC-TV, the Discovery/Science Channel. His radio show broadcasts to 100 radio stations every week. Dr. Kaku holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
Michio Kaku: Many physicists had a heart attack when we got news from Geneva, Switzerland that Einstein might be wrong. All hell broke loose in the physics community. Every physicist I know was taking a position on this hot topic because relativity is the foundation of modern physics along with the Quantum Theory.
Now what they found was if you take a beam of neutrinos from the atom smasher in Geneva, Switzerland, shoot the beam through the mountains from Switzerland to Italy over a distance of 454 miles, the neutrinos out-raced a light beam by a distance of 60 feet, 60 feet over a distance of 454 miles. Well, that doesn’t sound like much, but to a physicist this is a disaster. It means that the foundations of modern physics have to be called into question.
First, it means that time travel could become commonplace because as you approach the speed of light time slows down. If you exceed the speed of light, time goes backwards. Remember that scene in Superman One when Lois Lane dies and Superman goes into outer space and goes around the planet earth in the opposite direction; the earth stops and then rotates in the opposite direction and then, all of the sudden, Lois Lane springs back to life? Well, that kind of scenario might be possible if the speed of light is not so special that particles can exceed the speed of light, not to mention that we’ll have to recalibrate everything - the age of the universe, the age of stars, the distance to the stars, the basic structure of modern electronics has to be changed, the GPS, nuclear weapons, all of that would have to be recalibrated and rethought through if Einstein’s theory of relativity is wrong.
So what’s the solution to the problem? Well the solution to the problem is obviously they goofed. They made a mistake. I remember when I was a grad student years and years ago at Harvard. My advisor at Harvard was Professor Pound and he the famous Pound-Rebka Experiment where they shot a light beam from the top of Jefferson Hall to the bottom of Jefferson Hall. Now, there was a rival group, a rival group that also did the same experiment and they had to calculate the speed of light in the process. They found that the speed of light actually rose in the morning, peaked at noontime. Then the speed of light began to slow down at dinnertime and reached a minimum at midnight. Well, this was shocking. The speed of light, which governs the universe all of the sudden is wedded to lunchtime and dinnertime. So what's the problem? The problem was that this counter experiment, this rival experiment, was done outdoors, and the sensors were temperature-dependent, and of course it’s warmer at lunchtime and colder at midnight. Well, Professor Pound’s experiment was done indoors and therefore, didn’t have that kind of variation.
The lesson here is: systematic errors creep into very delicate calculations. Some people think they found the source of the error. How do we know that from Switzerland to Italy the distance is 454 miles? Well, you use GPS, right? Obvious, but GPS is a relativistic system. It uses relativity and some physicists have claimed that they mis-calibrated the distance from the sensors to the satellite and satellite back down to Italy, a triangle; that one of the lengths of the triangle was mis-calibrated in the process of doing this experiment.
Now, there is another counter example. Back in 1987, light from a gigantic supernova in the Magellanic Clouds hit the planet earth and, simultaneously with that, neutrinos were detected in gigantic neutrino detectors in Japan.

Nobody could do the math Einstein came up with. Not because they were not as smart but because it was fraudulent. You can learn science without ever having to go to school. A degree to go into debt for is just a piece of paper giving you permission to work in the field of your choice. It is a nice scam.

I remember in school when I'm calculating speed of a car on a physics problem I found out that it was faster than speed of light.
I was shocked at my multiplication capability

I think Einstein said:
If I am right, the Germans will say that I am a German, and the French will call me a "citizen of the world".
But, said Einstein, if I am wrong, the French will say that I am a German, and the Germans will say that I am a Jew!
such is life
It turned out to be just a error of measurment. Nothing is faster than c and Einstein still is German ;-)
The problems of general relativity arise when you look at the Universe at very small or at very large scales. What's wrong with general relativity ?
New finding in 2010 you don't know before, in general theory of relativity Albert Einstein ignored refraction of light. Einstein's proving method (EPM) via eclipse is unscientific and deeply wrong. It is very surprising. Einstein was wrong.
Please read on the reliable source the book The Universe and DR.Einstein, by Lincoln Barnett, London, 1949, Preface by Albert Einstein himself, page 78 - 79.
Einstein's gravity is wrong. Deflection of light is caused by refraction, not gravity. Shapiro delay is false, time delay is caused by refraction, not gravity. Gravitational redshift is false.Redshift is caused by refraction. Redshift is not Doppler shift, Lensing is caused by refraction, not gravity.....etc.

Let me guess. You never read the book, you got your information from a pseudo science blog, and you have no idea how refraction works.

GPS doesnt prove relativity. There are no relativistic corrections on GPS satellites. Talk to the people who built them
Secondly, nuclear power and weapons were known to be possible prior to Einstein, and could have happened without his work.. All Einstein did was mathematically harmonize newton with a few other theories.
Mr. Kaku should know all of this. He is propagating cancer and stupidity.
Its so nice to listen to Michio when he explain, its just pure joy !
because he is a good actor

“Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position but certainty is absurd.” Voltaire
@Hans Coventrierenhabenmachen In case you are serious and not trolling, I suppose you are referring to volts (V) who were named in honour of Alessandro Volta. And AFAIK, Voltaire wasn't a physicist. Nevertheless, he was also a scientist
If I were to refer to everything, it would be a Closed and isolated system, Behold I refer to the Universe, in short a finite ergo a CERTAINTY, is that absurd? NO! Truth "Facts" can never be absurd, truth is certain, contradictions though are uncertain, so honestly why is this certainty which is everything absurd?
I insist all uncertainties treated as certainties are the absurd, and it's high time more data is accrued so that all uncertainty is eliminated..

This video is the best example for showcasing the misunderstanding which arises by only reading the Headline of news which is more often than not misleading. And the truth is revealed when one reads the whole news.

I really respect that physicist have the balls to admit that some of their theories could be wrong while some groups won't ever imagine that conclusion.
everything could be wrong ... that's how science is. Everything is a theory waiting to be replaced. Everything is refutable
alz230
The problem is that the scientists themselves are flawed, ordinary humans and they protect their accomplishments and are not quick to embrace change. This can be both and good thing and a bad thing. Don't get me wrong though, compared to other things in life, the pace of science is still one of the fastest when it comes to progress and regardless of egos, the truth will always prevail.

Egos are stronger than to admit new theories.
Mello Keehl
Especially if like most creationists they were taught ever since they were young. It's kind of hard to throw away something that you thought you knew for 20+ years. Another unfortunate thing is some groups shun their family and friends just because they don't want to be proven wrong.
It's a narrow-minded life for some folks.
That's science in a nutshell.
He is talking about the OPERA experiment in 2011, which turned out to be a faulty measurement due two to errors in their equipment.
Two months after this video was uploaded, an attempt to reproduce the experiment failed to exceed the speed of light in full accordance with relativity theory. Another three months later they had fully analysed the original experiment and concluded that it simply was a faulty measurement.

Perfectly agree ! The more you know the more you realize all what you didn't know, this is a big lesson of humility. For me a true genious is modest, humble. He know much than the common people, understand better lots of things, but this level of understanding and comprehension push him to realize that all is knowledge is quite ridiculous compared to all his ignorance.
Robertson longjam - oh yeah? Einstein told you this?
If you correct an error of Einstein which has stunted the growth of physics for about 110 years would someone please proof this E=mv^3 where v = lights variable speed. If this is not proofed you will not believe the result. It comes out being that light speed is possible means Einstein made a human error since we are all human and did not take into account that light is variable due to its speed can change such as a speed in a different medium since this has already been proved by the lights refractive index.
Robertson longjam einstein was fraud and he stole the theory of relativity
Albert Einstein: What If Michio Kaku Is Wrong?
Rival Gangs. The Swiss get beat up.
Well, Michio Kaku is actually saying Einstein was not wrong: he clearly says he thinks there was an error in the calibration of the system used in the latest experiment, therefore Einstein was right
Paolo Costa r/wooosh
O3o
This made me laugh.
the systematic error was that there was a reel of fibre optic “cable” in the light path (hidden somewhere) that hadn’t been accounted for.
for reel?
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
Einstein struggled with his theories , especially GR, during his mid to late career. He questioned a lot of their fundamentals. He even wrote a personal letter to a friend claiming that one day his theories would likely be replaced because at least one of his assumptions is wrong. Evidence for a timeless universe is building. That is, the universe may evolve in only 3 spatial dimensions. In a timeless universe, time is independent parameter used when making measurement of things in 3D. The starlight deflection calculation that helped launch GR into stardom and replace Newtonian physics can also be done using purely Newtonian physics. Unfortunately the corrected calculation only happened recently, so it will be met with skepticism, etc...a lot more more such calculations are needed before people start to take a 3D timeless universe seriously. Whatever happens, Einstein will still be remembered, by many, as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century planet (and that is my view too).
You are on the right track. The Universe cannot begin the way it is presented at his point. The expansion theory in itself is an admission of error or lack of understanding. WATCH THIS SPACE. Dene GREGG. AUSTRALIA
what a coincidence almost like he ran out of material he stole from being a patent clerk
@@cpt191021 RE: last comment correction (this point not his point) > Science has in some respects drifted away from reality. Theory and Calculation does not always answer the questions we cannot see or accurately measure. Put it this way, just because super glue sticks most substances together well, does not mean that it fills holes just as well. It doesn't. My disagreement is that Inflation theory attempts to do a similar feat. . . with similar results. It astounds me that highly paid scientists from most areas don't apply the fundamentals to come up with their assumptions. . . and much of it is merely hazy assumptions at best. Seriously, the Universe is physical in nature. That is why E=mc2. Inflation theory is like asking a Sheep " Dear Mr. Sheep, what is the answer to our existence? The Sheeps' answer is generally more plausible. Sheeps' answer is Baaaa ! I could go on, however it seems pointless (RE: Big Bang, Inflation Theory, Hubble Constant etc. . . . . .

+Robert „TangFiend“ James it is just f(x) = 2² ...
incorrect, Einstein would be happy to be proven wrong*
Wrong, Doctor Einstein would be happy to be proven wrong*
He promised the Nobel prize money to his ex wife for child support. He later added the cosmic constant to his equations to created a static universe. "the Einstein blunder" that also proved with that addition to the equation to show an expanding universe. The constant he added would be what he'd be happy to have gotten wrong. just a TL;DR :)
If it wasn't for Einstein questioning the current state and understanding of physics, in his day, let alone the top physicist at his time (Isaac Newton), then he would never discovered anything.
Moral of the story? Always question. Einstein's theories might be just one small step towards the greater picture, just as Newton was for relativity. To assume that one guy had it all correct and we need not question his theory is to not be scientific whatsoever.
+It's Me
Einstein didn't question the then current state. In fact, he built on the work/discoveries of e.g. Lorentz and Maxwell.
+John Doe before relativity, there was 2 theories about the speed of light: Isaac Newton thought that light and gravity acts instantly. So Einstein did prove Newton Wrong as we know.
Also, Newton's equations could not explain Planet Mercury's orbit, but Einstein's equation explained it. It was a big step towards the validation of relativity.
Molun The speed of light had already been measured before Einstein.
It's not so much the speed of light that Einstein questioned, but it's behavior in relation to everything else (including time and space).
Einstein had the insight to see that the speed of light was the same for all observers, and basic algebra would show that if one thing stays constant, everything else must give (that being time and space).
It was such a profound thing to claim, but something that was not considered or discussed in his day, or ever in the past.
That's what I meant about questioning the current state and understanding of physics. He wasn't questioning the laws, per se, but how those laws interacted with each other.
It was just a simple paradigm shift. But that same principle can be applied today. Perhaps our understanding of light, space, and time is still skewed because of some simple change of perspective no one has yet to notice?
No, it was Lorentz that formulated the idea of length contraction and time dilation based on more precise measurements of the speed of light that had been done.
Then before Einstein Poincaré had already worked with a constant speed of light and relativity, building upon Lorentz' work.
Lorentz' original theory contained however an absolute ether that could neither be experimentally confirmed nor is it compatible with relativity. Poincaré knew that.
So Einstein dropped the ether, postulated that Lorentz transformed coordinate systems are frames of reference (which are a theoretical construct) ... and that's special relativity.
He also noticed that the speed of light is not just about light by recognizing c in Maxwell's equations.
You see, this was a chain of small steps taken by several smart people and technological advances were also very important in order to be able to do the experiments.
I remember watching this when i was 18...and i now realise i had no idea what was going on...5 years later after an engineering degree it all makes sense

Debate is part of what science is about. Questioning things that were previously “established”. If you don’t understand this, I encourage you to take a few science philosophy courses.
Stop trying to be a gate keeper. It’s unbecoming, and doesn’t advance science in the least.
@@bosshogg8447 There are limits to the so-called debate. People don't debate about the shape of the earth for example because it's done, we know the earth is round.
@@ZERO_ULTRA And who decides what is allowed to be debated, and what isn’t?
And why shouldn’t someone be allowed to put forth a theory that “muh Earth is flat”? It will either check out, or it won’t, based on peer review.
No offense intended, but I hear stances similar to the one you are making, and it seems like programming to me. It’s not a scientific way of looking at the world. It sounds, in fact, like the resurrection of Old World principles where one did not question the word of people who sat at the top of the church. And look how far that set us back.

Regarding time, relativity, and two planes flying opposite directions with atomic clocks (Hafele-Keating experiment) ...
There is reason to doubt it because, as proven by Reich, orgone (life) energy affects rates of radioactive decay.
A plane moving one direction moves through more of it in one direction vs ground and the other.
For the same reason, Pons & Fleischmann may have been correct about cold fusion.
If the container they used to control temperature was built more like an orgone accumulator than those who tried to reproduce it.
Radioactive decay rates are not constant as assumed.
You can see them change over the next few days just subjecting samples to 50KV for 30 minutes (AC or DC, doesn't matter).
For that reason, our dates are unreliable with carbon-dating, it depends on how many times the sample has been hit by lightning.
On a similar note, the Samsung phone batteries that were exploding would be those delivered from Korea with a flight near the pole when the aurora was active.

I'm a programmer and when doing debugging, it often saves a lot of time to ask yourself the question "where did I botched up" and just start from the presumption that you made a coding mistake which is altering the entire thread and hence the output (inside out) than to start the process backwards from the symptoms of the problem, through the entire thread, towards the source of the problem (outside in).
Obviously this is not always the best solution, and you need many years of experience to gain this instinct of guesstimating directly the source of the problem than going through the normal process, and some times it just doesn't work and your instinct is wrong, you must always keep in mind that everything is possible and be opened to the possibility that you may be totally wrong.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, most of the times, the most simplest explanation is the right explanation for an apparently inexplicable phenomenon. In this case, there is much more likely a problem in the actual method of measurement of the experiment, than the theory of relativity being wrong. However, that does not mean the theory of relativity is bullet proof, and a good scientist must keep that in mind, because nothing is more disruptive to progress than not being able to see the forest because of the trees. If in this particular case the simplest explanation is the measurements being wrong, it's possible that in other cases, the simplest explanation might just be that relativity is not quite that... relative.
I don't believe that there is a scientist who thinks that relativity is the end of physics and should be written in stone tablets somewhere and left for the generations. Every theory should be thought of as "not yet proved wrong", or "the best we have". And relativity is had been pretty useful so far. I mean, everything tech related we have because of Einstein's work. So is relativity 100% correct? Probably not. Is it good enough for now? Hell yea.
Nerubz
That's what I like in Science. We (as humanity) may one day discover that speed of light is not strictly constant but depends on something. If this happens, it won't mean that everything need recalibration and Einstein was wrong, it will just mean that Einstein was on the right track but just didn't see the bigger picture and it would mean that we'll be able to do more than we could before.
Considering how little we know about the time, I think that theory of relativity just scratched the surface of something much much bigger.
THEN BAM!! you just missed a semi-colon
GoodGameHunter Ever heard of Test Driven Development?
Enlightenment I have, and I think it's a nice concept but very impractical.
Very interesting and clever video!
I feel a pleasure to listen to you I learned much
It was due to a equipment malfunction.
Correct. But Mr. Kaka here says it was due to an error in calculating a relativistic system. Just another time he has been wrong in his videos and people eat this stuff up. SMH.
They think it is a mistake but they have not found any malfunction. In other words, physicists are trying to prove they are right without the proving there is a mistake.
And disclosing potentially revolutionary results before reviewing all the possible sources of error. Sloppy and undisciplined physics leads to this kind of bullcrap.
There is a reason these are all called "theories" ladies and gentlemen. At any given time Science, Mathematics, Physics etc could change.
["First, it means that time travel could become commonplace because as you approach the speed of light time slows down."]
What really happens is: The device used to measure the passing of time underlies dilation effects, and its mass grows with growing speed. When the mass grows, the inertia grows, as well, slowing down the device's measurement - the device *seems* to run slower than a not moving device, but, in reality, it just *counts* passing time slower than its not moving counterpart.
Time travel is a nice illusion, but assumes that one exact copy of our entire Universe exists for each yoctosecond that passed by since the beginning of time (if time has a beginning or an end...). Where should that infinite quantity of energy come from, and which cosmic force was capable to create copies of our Universe in yoctosecond intervals?
"If facts don't agree with theory, change the facts" @Einstein.
What if einstein is wrong
EINSTEIN:
*you dare opose me mortal*
@heatedvoltz....... Okay?
@heatedvoltz yeah you being a bit slow
Wow what a great coment section
Oppose*
@heatedvoltz No they didn't. It was a computer simulation of a photo of a black hole. Einstein was proven wrong through Frame Dragging or the lack of it.
The governing mantra of science: "It is not about what we know -- it's about what we believe to know thus far..."
Einstein blew Newton out of the water, though he didn't necessarily contradict him. Newton blew Copernicus and Galileo out of the water, though he didn't necessarily contradict them."
Knowledge is always growing, new laws become old laws, and old laws are changed by new discoveries.
There very likely is a chance that someone could shatter Einstein's theories, just as much as Einstein's theories could be irrevocable.
The great mysteries of science.
R.B. Ratieta my friend even newton
Called gravity as a myterious force einstine defined relativity with sufficient proofs
actually I had already done that. But almost nobody wants to listen. As a start, please have a look at my public talk:
www.researchgate.net/publication/323691934_The_Crisis_of_Modern_Theoretical_Physics_and_its_Simple_and_Beautiful_Solution
IOW, the former just expounded on the latter.
The great mysteries of the “religion” science
R.B. Ratieta No one will ever shatter Einstein's theories. Einstein was NEVER once wrong and never will be. Now, you can expand from his knowledge and not contradict him as you even stated but you will never in your life discredit him. For example, NASA states space is a square with no edges. Einstein did not understand the geometrical shape of space at that time because the actual density of space was not measured. There is no such thing as a square with no edges. Space is made of parallel circles with infinite curvature that cause the equal and opposite reaction of flat parallel lines in the interior and accelerated expansion. Physicists state that Einstein's theories stop at black holes when gravity pushes and it does not pull. Thus, the gravity of the atom that caused the Big Bang is pushing against the deflating gravity of the universe when time space is broken down in a black hole. They attempted to discredit Einstein and failed so miserably that they became flat Earthers as a result.
Neutrons are detected at the same time because neutrons are released from the source 3 hours before the explosion (When light is released).
It's the short explanation, full explanation is enough complicated to explain here.

I read your book
"Parallel Worlds" a masterpiece
Don't you just wish that he could have been your teacher at school?
ammar qahtani why
no
ofcourse yes!!
normanshafty yes, yes,...
I wish!
I wouldn't be impressed unless the neutrinos arrived at the detector before they were sent.
What if you choose not to fire the neutrinos after seeing them arrive before you actually did anything?
Could go with Back to the Future rules?- if you don't send the neutrinos, that reality fades away and nobody remembers receiving the signal.
Which means it could have happened but we wouldnt remember it
True. I don't like his statement, without basis, that if you exceed the speed of light, time goes backwards! It's cliche.
+is reality is comprised of light segmented by dark matter; the very thing that gives light a home is itself built out of condensed segments (e=mc sq) of the very light whom's highest ambition is to illuminate any and all revisions of itself (every facet of reality). From our level, matter came before the light, and is therefore faster and always a step ahead of the light (manifesting is impossible for light unless it allows itself to be condensed by dark matter in order to manifest on this plane ((fallen angels)) but the light can only do what the dark matter allows for . Anything that can potentially give light energy a platform to persuade all other revisions of itself to override the material world (everything) would give light too much influence (Jesus or some light deity) and eventually it will embody the material and light will have acquired the ability to create matter and obliterate it on the fly (like dreams, we create temporary realities based on intent, then terminate them
I love how enthusiastic he is while talking about physics
Good day Sir...wow! I had to do a double take! I had a hard time with neutrinos flying through my body and the earth 🌏 as well...now Einstein could be wrong? I am so glad I watched to the end...I am also glad I never take anything at face value...I knew there had to be a mistake somewhere...I am just not smart enough to figure it out...thank you sir for the insightful thoughts. I have become a fan of Quantum Physics...just wish I could understand the equations. Bless u and ur family...and again thank you for this post!
The greatest advacements in science were not made by coat-tailing on others ideas, but from challenging old ideas constantly.
"In 2011, the OPERA experiment mistakenly observed neutrinos appearing to travel faster than light. " from wiki
and time do. es not go backward when you go faster than light. I think it's just that you can see things happened before but you are not being in that moment. But I might be wrong im not the physicist here
plus the max speed of universe is not determined by the speed of the light, in the opposite, it is the max speed of universe determines the speed of light
+Weilun Mo No. When the "speed of light" was determined to be a set figure is what some physicist will find to be just the figure that needs to be fixed. The equipment I have here at my house isn't good enough to tell me by exactly how much but I'm finding that the speed of light must have been based on an average of the visible spectrum. The speed that light travels faster at one end of the spectrum than the other. So, if this is true, the speed of light in an equation and a variable depending on the frequency of light you are using for accuracies sake. There is a lot of light we'll never be able to see because now that the universe is expanding at faster than the "speed of light" any light no matter how bright it is, even if it's as bright as a super nova and shining directly at us and it's generated from only a foot away from us will never be seen it because it's moving away from of us faster than the light can travel towards us.
Almost all of the light emitted from that tiny galaxy a foot away, is seen, just because C is constant. That's why the expansion is said to be "metric". 10% of 1 foot is much less for that little photon to fly in a second than 10% of 3,000,001 kilometres. In the latter case the poor particle might face a hopeless task, indeed. That is, if Einstein was right.
You would be able to see "faster than light "LIGHT" unless it's traveling AWAY from you because it would be impossible to see something traveling AWAY from you if it's emitted light is moving away from you at a speed greater than it's emissions can travel.
That's why he called it "THEORY of Relativity"
But, but, Theory's have been proven, right? Or have I been told a lie for my whole life?
@@blvp2145 some theories have been proven but some haven't been proven yet
@@hoobs4140 I would agree.
It is a scientific theory not just a theory and scientific theory find evidences and proof until it will be taken while theory is more like an a opinion
The theories of relativity have been extensively proven over and over
I have a book written by A Einstein himself "On the general and the special relativity theorie". In this book he says that an observer in a closed elevator cannot find a difference between a gravitational acceleration and an acceleration by some kind of towing. He forgot completely the gradient in a gravitational system which can today be measured with a very high precision, nanogals according to geophysicists.
Everybody makes mistakes... even Einstein. Doesn't mean he was wrong in general.
@@donalain69 Here`s a second mistake: Einstein had no knowledge about the Suns humongous magnetic field. This causes the precession of Mercurius` orbit by a paramagnetic effect! Einstein juggled his numbers in the general theory and found that it "explains" the precession exactly.
There's plenty of models in science that explained stuff pretty well and worked yet were fundamentally incorrect
+TheFinnishBolshevik Any examples?
John Doe Various Aether theories and Classical Newtonian physics. Newton wasn't really necessarily incorrect but his model only works roughly and with medium sized things
TheFinnishBolshevik
I don't think that aether "theories" were anything more than hypotheses and classical Newtonian physics works beautifully in many cases.
It's not fundamentally wrong, it just didn't take the finite speed of light into account.
John Doe from the point of view of trying to explain basic physics it doesn't really matter if light is particles or waves going through the aether. Its kinda the same with Newton. His stuff works fine within limits.
My point is that our current understanding might be the aether theory of it's day. Within our narrow context it seems to make sense but in the grand scheme of things it could still be wrong.
For example so called 'dark energy' is not a real thing. Its just a concept physicists invented to patch some holes in the theory of relativity. Nobody has ever seen or observed 'dark energy' and its probably not even real. It may just be that the whole theory of relativity is somehow wrong in a way we dont understand and it results in these weird glitches and things working differently then they're supposed to. Still 99% of the time it appears to work fine just like Newtonian physics or even some of those aether models.
TheFinnishBolshevik
Our current theories are actual scientific theories supported by mountains of evidence and countless experiments.
Aether "theories" were not. That's why I said they were merely hypotheses.
'Dark energy' is a hypothesis too, albeit one that is largely accepted as the one that fits data best so far. But it's still a hypothesized unknown form of energy ...
So yeah, that's not exactly scientific theory material either.
It's incredible to me that all the technology we've implemented so far that relies on general and special relativity has worked perfectly. The fact that Einstein's theories haven't failed us even once just goes to show how incredible he really was.
I enjoy listening when he explains anything.
Flat earthers reading the tittle: *jackpot*
Michio makes physics sound fun
Literally everything you define as fun happens because of physics.
Physics IS FUN. You're just too dumb or uninterested to figure it out.
Ghost khiz. I agree physics is the best thing ever and phenomenal but we don’t need to call him dumb 😂 we’re all just a bit hurt about Einstein being wrong that’s all...which I can’t believe
Well he's a science communicator that's literally his job.
Too many people believe these minds now long gone were somehow Gods. Einstein himself acknowledged the possibility that his whole life's work could be wrong.
We will never advance until we forget the past and begin to challenge deeply seeded paradigms.
Not saying he is wrong, because I'm not a physicist, but the possibility is very real.
Two idiots who have probably never taken a physics class...
Beauty of being human
The problem is many careers and reputations rely on the accepted theories, this kind of approach in my opinion hinders science and reminescent of the old catholic churches tendancy to ignore theories that might threaten them. Old minds are not usually very open to new ideas, even those scientists. I Personally i believe we have'nt even begun to scratch the surface of what this existence is.
+Gabriel cazorla persson You're not smarter than Einstein and you're wrong.
KingZam You take Einsteins word as definite and 100% correct and your comeback is "youre not smarter then Einstein" or "all physycists belive in in relativity" therefore anyone who goes againts it must be retarded.
Posibbly the greatest mind to ever exist, a guy who could put Einstein to shame, the very person responsible for 75% of modern day technology, Nikola Tesla, thought the theory of relativity was complete horseshit.
When asked how it feels to be the smartest person in the world, Einstein replied "I dont know, go ask Tesla" 😘
Energy = (distance)(time) such that (E/d) = t where time is a measure of energy divided by distance. integral E dt = integral dt de such that d=1 where E=(1)t such that E = time when d=1unit where E>0 and t>0. The derivative of E=dt is DE=(d')(t)+d(t') and if d=1 then DE=DT. Therefore, Energy = time when distance equals 1 unit. So, there must be an equilibrium of distance in order for Energy=time. Possibly, this idea could contribute to the idea of relativity being caused by an equilibrium of distance depending on a certain center of mass.
Thank You!
Albert Einstein: “There could be no fairer destiny for any… theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in
which it lives on, as a limiting case."
Definitely one of the coolest guys on earth.
Excellent video. Philochrony is the theory that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Time is magnitive: objective, Imperceptible and measurable.
1:19- if earth stops then everything on earth turns up into rubble and everyone dies. Earth rotates on its axis at the speed of 1000 miles per hour. Sudden stop of rotation of earth would be as catastrophic as some train at speed of 500 km/h suddenly stops.

@@sarwarghouris well knowledge is knowing something about something at any given time. However I didn't get your point with that quote?

@@sarwarghouris nope knowledge can be temporary or inconsistent. Knowledge literally mean knowing about something. It's very subjective all those theories of "universality" etc only fits with a certain things which is once again very subjective.

He personally hates Einstein. He wishes to outshine Einstein. Appearing all over only to come close as he can to Einstein's celebrity scientist status. I wonder what real contribution this guy has on the real world... I mean, besides sounding pseudo smartellectual
i have the same feeling about him.. he is promoting a string theory which is pure science fiction and there is no fucking way to prove it
But you know, views.
+Vlad Marcu New things cant be discovered unless you venture outside the realm of what you think is possible.
Great scientific explanation
I used work for the government testing GPS every time you turn on a GPS receiver an file called an “Almanac”. It contains theoretical errors in the position of the satellites. The satellites move along their journey they are constantly being tugged off coarse by solar winds, gravity waves, and collisions with meteor dust. There are satellite tracking stations around the world, and their job is to make decisions as to when any particular satellite requires coarse corrections or “Almanac” corrections. They don’t make those corrections until it thought the coarse error would result in an position error in GPS receivers greater than one meter. If your receiver has not updated its “Almanac” and there are several reasons this can occur, most of them involve operator error. I have seen “Almanac” errors of several miles.
Einstein would be glad if he knew that he is wrong if enough evidence is provided
But he is not wrong as has been well proven.
actually he probably got something wrong since Relativity breaks down at the quantum level, and he couldn't stand the idea of quantum entanglement ( spooky action at a distance, as he called it), wich was proven to be real.
The universe did begin with the big bang. Evolve? Yes, so did the universe. Think about the contradictions in your statements.
the universe did began, and it will probably end when the last black hole evaporates, what we call time is nothing but the ever forward evolution of the universe. At least as far as i understand the laws of physics.
lol. as long as there is movement there is time. the reason for ur claim being hard to grasp isnt because everyone except for u has a limited brain, its because ur claim is fucking stupid. please just go away.

Here after it’s announced that he may be wrong 😂
Repeats of the experiment show the results to be in error due to equipment errors. QUOTE: “In May 2012, a new bunched beam rerun was initiated by CERN. Then in June 2012, it was announced by CERN that the four Gran Sasso experiments OPERA, ICARUS, LVD, and BOREXINO measured neutrino speeds consistent with the speed of light, indicating that the initial OPERA result was due to equipment errors.”
There is one thing faster than the speed of light - a man on a beer run 10 minutes before the game is about to start.
Helios77711 you are an earthling
shut up and have a little humor you nimrod.
Newton was not wrong or proven wrong. His models just dont work at very large scales and more extreme circumstances. Einsteins model works on both scales but also doesnt address the absolute most extreme scales and circumstances. One day there will probably a model that works in all situations which will probably be the theory of everything. It will supercede newton and einstein, but it doesnt mean that they were wrong. Thats the point.
exactly
Gar Nicht yess
Exactly, each person's theory is a modified version of the other, Einsteins studies were based on Newton. We will keep modifying it until the theory includes all circumstances.
Actually, Stephen Hawking felt, that there could be no single unifying theory which combines both quantum mechanics and relativity or any other theory. He felt that there would only be a set of interlocking theories, which we would just try and make better fitting with each other, and more precise.
You could not have written a more insane comment. Please dont waste our time, whether youre trolling or serious.

Albert Einstein said: "Everything is vibration" But if this is true if everything is just a form of energy vibration then there should be a process where new vibrations come into existence and other ceased to exist. Also this process should be able to explain why we all have a future that is always uncertain and interactive relative to our actions with a past that is always unchangeable and only really existing as a memory in the mind of the individual. Such a process has to be a physical continuum that is unfolding at the smallest unit of vibration energy the light quanta of quantum mechanics. Therefore it is unfolding photon oscillation by photon oscillation forming a great dance of energy exchange with new photon oscillations continuously coming in to existence.
There was an electrical malfunction for the exact amount of time the neutrinos beat the light.
"I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious." - Albert Einstein
No
Bullshit. Lol
I have an idea for recorded while the time in the future has come.
We will need no more moving to other place. Just set place some shelter in the sky with antigravity. Then stand still in the exact place.
With using of earth rotation, that shelter at this time in the first spot and a few hours later will be in other spot without any moving. 😁
Michio kaku just at the end talked about plausible and realistic systematic errors which creeped into the italy-neutrino experiment and made arguments about why Einstein is very probably still correct about his postulate that the speed of light is constant. He gave an anecdote about and experiment he himself did once where they detected the error, he talked about the circular reasoning in using relativity to disprove itself and an argument from Plausibility namely that in Japan they measured neutrinos and lightburst millions of kilometres away arriving at the same time. This would all mean that his rather long talks about time travel, as interesting as it sounds, is just appealing to the common interest of ignorant public, and very probably untrue and against the laws of physics.
The solution is fairly straight forward: Repeat the experiment with a higher degree of monitoring and controls. Then repeat it again, and again. And have the results and methodologies open to scrutiny from all sides of this debate. The truth will out.
Nah.. they are too scared in case it proves correct again....
***** OH? And without sounding condescending or trite, who are they?
supafuckinmingster
Kaku and co. They will sabotage the experiment once word gets out its gonna happen.... and then later will claim human error, just like in this video....
Scared pf what you imbecile? Of learning new things? Scientists are excited about experiments showing that there are things we don't know about.
Plus, you're talking using the future tense... that experiment was 4 years ago and careful analysis of what happenned has now shown that it was a systematic error caused by a faulty optic fiber cable.
Fuck off.... thats what they want you to believe...
“Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity I do not understand it myself any more. ”
It isn't about whether or not something can go faster than light necessarily, It's about the rate at which information travels and the distortion of time based on the distance in which the information travels. The bigger picture here for those who don't seem to be processing information as fast as the few who really can ascend above the stars is that our minds really do manipulate the reality around us in a nutshell.

Rmember...
Einstein published relativity when we didn't have any super tech stuff and still can't even understand them correctly.. so imagine if he lived in modern era we might be travelling between galaxies in few years...
When Kaku talks about light and neutrinos from the same event reaching the detectors at the 'same time', does he mean it literally? Mustn't there be at least some latency, since neutrinos have now been proven to have mass?
Its a coincidence, had it been a few thousand light years farther, there would be a good delay(not saying there was no delay, but in cosmic scales its likely not inportant)
But the reason they got here at the same time even though they have mass is bacause they almost ignore matter, and supernovas take a few hours to explode, so the neutrinos at the beginning of the supernova shot out of the star like it as nothing, but the photons took quite some time to leave the star as they were blocked by the matter, and so over these thousands of years the light has been catching up to the neutrinos and we happen to be very close to their point of intersection
(Do not take my word for a fact, but i am 90% sure on this info, and if you doubt it, please search for info for this on your own)
Eduardo P is pretty much correct, and Kaku's explanation about neutrinos and photons travelling the same speed is rather incorrect. Neutrinos are slightly slower, but they get a head start.
That happened in the 90s. They don't have our detectors then.
