Since the days of Ancient Greece, philosophers and scientists have been wondering: What is space? Is the absence of things⊠a thing? These questions continued to fascinate physicists in the modern era, leading Isaac Newton, Ernst Mach, and Albert Einstein to wonder about the true nature of the fabric of the cosmos. The search for an answer led them to some of the greatest theories in physics. This week, we ask if space and time are really real, and how they come together to make âspacetimeâ!

I have never seen a 3D graph of space-time like that before. I like it.
Kai Widman Yea, its a really good way to represent it.
It makes something so confusing so simple
me too finally understand it correctly very clever picture!
why does an accelerating object have a curved trajectory in that graph though?
Jack MĂŒller because as it speeds up it will travel faster through space but slower through time
God damn, that was fantastic.
Ok

â„ The infinite blackness of space corresponds to an imaginary blank slate, which has the potential for something to exist within it.
â„ The 'things' that exist within that imagination are thoughts, given form.
â„ As individuals we get to experience these thoughts through the 5 senses of the vehicle that is our body.
â„ These senses are fed up into our brain, and converted into thought in our mind for us to perceive.

We sense the world & each other not by touching it even, but merely by being in the proximal presence of one another & having our particles mediated to one another by forces via virtual particles & bosons.
These invisible carriers & messengers communicate between all of our quanta infinitesimally & somewhere, somehow we sense it macroscopically.
Where is a sense? & What is it? But yet another fluctuation of energy across our dendritic bodies, where is our soul but perhaps in the collective excitation of this brief collection of quanta?

"Is space a thing?"
*Well yes but actually no*
But yes
But no
As a physicist this is the answer to so many simple questions.... Almost like "It depends...". The problem is: The universe isn't "simple". So how should there be simple answers - especially to simple questions? "Is the Earth flat?" - "No, but yes, maybe, it depends - if you are moving with the speed of light, basically everything is flat, but if you don't, Earth behaves like it isn't, but maybe we are wrong about the behavior of things, so maybe it is, but .if you view it from the point of view of a four dimensional being, you can wrap the earth into flat shapes, but if you are a being of higher dimensions you most probably don't have any idea of what 'flat' is., but...".

that graph showing relation between space and time was helpful to understand spacetime, great work as usual

But it doesn't make you understand what TIME is. Time is seen as a sort of space something can move, "flows" through.
Philosophically uninformed videos :/
@@riccardocuciniello2044 Universe doesn't have to make sense to humans. Humans couldn't fathom germs, now we do.
If you say you understand it fully, then you don't. Watch startalk.
We have tools to help humans try and grasp what is happening. Like maths for blackhole gravity. We humans have a need to make something this or that. Yet light is a wave and a particle point. It's not a wave OR a particle. We don't have the right definitions at this time to describe many things that math can prove. That is all. Our time of understanding/definitions are going to update as we gain a sensibility of it all. Humans couldn't fathom germs, now we do.
@@MrHeroicDemon it absolutely MUST make sense to humans. Not now, not tomorrow, but it must have to possibly to make sense, even if we will never understand it - in other words, we must be able to understand the universe completely, even if we will never practice succeed in it.
@@MrHeroicDemon the fact that we can't understand what maths proves it's a problem, but what does it mean? It means that there is a real shift between reality and the object of science itself. Reality as we experience it normally is not just an illusion, but it's the realm in which we can't not live. We don't live in the realm where things are and aren't at the same time - at the same time, to make sense of our reality, we must construct something that isn't part of normal reality. One of those things is time. We don't, and won't ever experience time for what it is according to scientific theory. But scientific time isn't TEMPORAL at all. So, while "time" may be a physical notion, the character of temporality is the foundamental way of human experience of reality.

As far as I know, Einstein was a fierce defender of Machâs principle. He did not believe that spacetime was a thing. Also acceleration must be relative to SOME reference frame. The bucket water would NOT bend in an empty universe. Considering the Lense-Thirring effect, there even seems to be empirical evidence for this apparently merely philosophical stance.

The real question is:
Is thing a space???
MangoTube *vsauce music ensues*
Hey guys, Michael, Vsauce here. As we all know, the word space derives from the Latin word 'spaceibus' which, back then meant big. They would often use it to describe house size. Anyway, space. What is it? Space is where there is nothing. Like a vacuum. Vacuum is a cool word because it is the only word to have a double U but not a W. As I was saying, space is a vacuum (nothing), a place where there are no atoms. For example, if I was to hold out this empty bottle *shows bottle* it may look empty, but there is actually matter in it. Atoms, particles if you will. Oxygen with a combination of other gases and even water. In conclusion, the answer is... No.
Even if space was a pure vacuum, it still has a property of separating matter by distance, so it IS a thing that keeps all of the matter from clumping together.
hehe
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude.......
6:53
DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I was saying
"YOU CAN STILL FEEL IT SPINNING EVEN IF THERE'S NOTHING"
through the entire video
this actually helped me finally understand spacetime .a concept I just couldn't get my head around but it makes so much sense. I'm saving this videođŻ
space isn't really a thing, just a part of a thing. space is 3 dimensions but we are 4 dimensional and the fourth dimension is time.
my theory is that the expansion of the universe (which is constantly accelerating) is time and it explains why time only goes in one direction because the universe is only expanding not contracting. Matter warps space time and this warping effect causes gravity however the warping effect also causes time dilation due to time being a quantity of space time. this also explains why the speed of light is constant as photons are massless and therefore do not warp space-time and can travel at the maximum speed allowed by space ( shown by that nifty graph at the end other the video). I probably just came to the same conclusions as many other people but this video really cleared it up for me. Thanks itsoktobesmart !
HOly crap this is enlightening. the part at 6:21 blew me away. I never thought about spacetime like that before, Thanks Joe!
Im having a hard time understanding this.
You're not alone, rest assured. :D

Wow. This is the first time I actually understood a _tiny_ bit about light speed and relativity. That spacetime graphic is _really_ helpful! Thank you!
Can anyone please clarify this?
I've heard that the universe started out from a point infinitely small; hot & dense.
My question is, if the starting point of the universe was just a hot & dense state...then what was available to compare its temperature & density too?
Hot compared to what?
Was there a temperature outside of this hot dense state?
Dense compared to what?
Was this hot & dense state contained inside of something else with less density?
How can something be described as hot & dense, when there is not yet anything else to compare its temperature & density to??
-Thank You in advance for your clarification.
You need to check temperature definition:
Cold and hot are relative to atoms movment.
The coldest: atoms with no movment.(or minnimun possible)
The hottest: atoms moving at the maximun velocity possible.
roner61 Thank You for your reply. & yes you are correct.
But let's remember that at the moment just before The Big Bang event happened, there were no atoms yet. The 1st atoms of Protium, which is just comprised of 3 quarks that make a proton, didn't form until after the singularity state.
So my questions remain, hot compared to what?
Dense compared to what?
I suggest you look into hawkings theorys of the universe
*"what was available to compare its temperature & density too?"* < Nothing, but then again, no one was around to make comparisons then. We're comparing it to the present moment.
Hot and dense compared to the current state of the universe. It's the same universe, after all, just cooler and spread out.
This episode was so funny and so clever!!! (^_^)

And can there be spacetime without matter?
If there is no bucked spinning, nor anything else, is spacetime still there? If not, does that mean spacetime is an aspect of matter?
You got it backwards. Matter is an aspect of spacetime. Particles are perturbations of spacetime fields.
Idk the correct answer to this question, but in ny opinion, this is still considered a very good question! After all, I was taught that no matter, person, place, thing, or any event cannot exist without spacetime. There would have to be the 3 spatial coordinates of x, y, & z for there to be a place for any existance, plus the w coordinate to represent time and tell us when it existed. So without spacetime, there definitely isn't a time nor a place for any matter..
But what if that concept is also, somehow, actually reciprocated?.. as to imply an inverted causality that would nullify any existance of a spacetime without any kind of matter or substance to validate any space or time (the duality of reality shows its face almost anywhere you look) #thingsthatmakeyagohmmmmm

Excellent program and very well narrated.
laughed so hard at 0:55
I have a Question:
At 6:08 you said "An objekt not moving thou space"
Not moving relativ to what? The earth, the Galaxy? How can I know that I am not moving?
What is the top speed that I can travel throu Time? How can I mesure it?
Sorry for bad english
To answer your questions we need to understand the differences between space-like and time-like motion. The four ships in this video's example display these alone and together:
Diagonal Ship: Both space-like and time-like motion, this ship is not accelerating. The velocity of the space-like motion is X m/s, something we understand easily using basic physics. The time-like motion has a speed that is curiously measured in seconds per meter, in this case it would be traveling through time at a rate of... 1/X s/m. Yes, you travel a number of seconds through time per meter of space traversed. Remember Einstein's clocks measure time by measuring a photon in motion through space, space is measured in meters; seconds per meter is literally the unit of time-like motion.
Perpendicular Ship: Only time-like motion, this ship has zero velocity and is not accelerating (not possible for reasons, but I'll continue). The time-like motion has a speed of â/0 s/m because you would travel infinite seconds for each 0 meters traveled... therefore ships truly at rest have an undefined speed in time-like motion.
Parallel Ship: Only space-like motion, this ship has velocity of exactly C and in not accelerating (and has no mass, somehow). The time-like motion of this third ship is 0/â s/m because you would travel zero seconds for each infinite meters traveled... therefore ships traveling at C also have an undefined speed in time-like motion, but it is a different undefined.
Curved Ship: Both types of motion, and is accelerating. Nothing different than the first ship to be honest.
Einstein used a distance metric that included time called the Spacetime Interval, this metric measured the distance between two points, like the endpoints of a ship's path, in such a way that all observers would agree on the interval regardless of their frame of reference while observing some event like a ship path. Spacetime intervals that do not have one component of the interval, the space or time component, are special cases that only work in particular cases. I could go on about it, but I have said enough for now.
Rob Laquiere wow I didn't expect something like this, I didn't understand a word thats fascinating! Thank you for that explanation! No joke
+Felix Vogel You can know that you're moving because it's impossible to stay still in spacetime. In fact, everything is moving through spacetime at the same velocity (the velocity of light). Now how much of this velocity gets transferred to the space or time directions depends on the reference and hence is relative. However, the actual "speed" of everything is always the same. You should take a course in special relativity. It's really interesting. And fascinating as well.
This is not correct. Not everything is moving through spacetime at the same velocity. Remember, velocity is a measurement of speed and direction... surely not everything in spacetime is moving in the same direction. The absolute value of velocity, on the other hand, is the same for the types of matter and energy we have discovered. I don't want to rule out the possibility of discovering matter or energy that does not obey these rules however (I think of Tachyons from Star Trek).
In fact, some hypotheses imply that exotic matter like anti-hydrogen is in fact normal hydrogen moving backwards in time... This means that particle anti-particle annihilation is just two normal hydrogen smashing into each other in the time dimension! One from the future and one from the past! The reason the charges are switched is because we are seeing the anti-particle moving in reverse through time, and thus the EM waves produced by the anti-matter is flipped. QED predicted anti-matter's existence because of these ideas, and we have indeed synthesized anti-hydrogen.
FINALLY! This awnserd a question I had for a loooong time. Thank you!
I enjoy your program. It is especially useful when teaching my children at school.
I think the real question here is, 'Is Thing a Space??'

"Einstein said light could travel without a medium"
Wasn't that proved by Michelson & Morley?
Wonton
Einsteinâs was wrong. The 1887 MMX recorded the Aether ....but the the speed was not near the .40 fringe shift needed to justify the heliocentric preference.
The laboratory experiments all prove the geocentric model which Einstein detested (ie...God, creator, judgement ...etc)
Einstein invented his 1905 STR to effectively null those laboratory results in order to keep the BS heliocentric model.

That graph was so amazing
At 6:02 it's just like people who are tired of working saying that the time is so slow and people who don't mind about anything saying that the time is so fast.
Hey Q/A time: If mass is constantly changed to energy and energy to mass (the reason why we weigh even though ~99% of our body is just blank space*) and if the "void" space out there has energy (CMB or quantum energy fluctuations - whatever you like), Do the Void space between us have mass? And if it does have mass, Doesn't that make void space have its own Gravitational field (Yeah that inward dimple on spacetime )?
* Veritasium had a video explaining this some time ago (yrs ago)
indian stop Lol hindu headass
Earth Mars umm.. What?
link the video
I think you got that a bit wrong. Mass is not changing to energy and back again. Mass IS energy; it's energy that is trapped from traveling at the speed of light. Thus it is energy that experiences time (since, as described in this video, if something does not move at the speed of light then it travels through time instead)
Chaitanya Singh It does not have mass since its made up of "virtual particles" whitout mass. If they however had mass that would break the thermodynamic law about conservation of energy.
The virtual particles have to exist in the first place to satisfy Heisenbergs uncertanty principle about energy and time. The more you know about the energy of a particle (or in this case, vacuum) the less you can know about the time it had that energy and vice verca. Because a classical vacuum would have no energy in it there would be an infinite uncertanty about the time the system had that energy, which is simply not plausible, therefore viritual particles were theorized and later proved to be right by the casmir effect.
If i remember correctly the energy required to make those viritual particles are borrowed from space itself, creating negative matter (not to me confused with dark matter or anti matter) for a very short amount of time.
Sorry for my bad english

That space time graph is amazing, never thought about relativity like that.
This is really excellent. Thank you.
I had no idea what he was taking about I just watched the pictures đ
But but but... how about Kant's theory of space and time as a priori of human perception?
I'm writing an essay about it and asked myself the Same thing. Have you found any answers yet?
It is not a theory, it can't predict nothing. Just philosophy. You can write whatever you want, but to predict events is far more complex.
JLC You're right. Kant stated a philosphical thing. Physicists don't sit back, think about those things, write down their thoughts and call it a theory. a physics theory needs to be proven with math. talking about these theories, like it is done in this video, is just explaining what the math means for real life
Excellent video absolutely love your take on relativity! thanks doc!!
