    And this is why an time machine wouldn't work as expected, at least not without an teleport ability as well.
    If the machine only changed your time variable but kept your current position relatively to the whole universe, going even an couple of seconds to the past would mean appearing either in space, or inside the earth...

      *****
      Is common to see people in fictions using time machines and keeping their position on earth, sadly that's impossible with an machine that only changes your time variable.
      In reality , if the machine only changed time, you would indeed appear in the same position, but sadly for you, that position would be your universal coordinates.
      The earth is moving so fast relatively to the universe that even 2 seconds to the past/future are enough to appear several hundreds of kilometers away from your original position on the earth.
      The only way to make it work like in the movies is to create one that can both change the time but also teleport you back to your position on earth.
      Or use the special relativity and create an machine that can make you move close to the speed of light in a loop, kinda like the hadron collider but all around the earth to reduce the centrifugal force, sadly that machine would consume more energy that we can produce, only allow you to move forward in time and wouldn't be instantaneous.

    All those speeds don't just stack on top of each other. Because all of those speeds are not in the same direction.The spin of the earth and the orbit of our solar system might be going in a different direction than that of the Galaxy, so there speeds might be actually making us slower by going agaisnt the galaxy

    • @danzervos7606

    • @KeyhaneBishomar
      @KeyhaneBishomar Před 6 lety +4

      Yes I tryed to calculated our speed only in our solar system, its very hard, rotation of earth , each minute our speed changes, becouse earth direction changes when it rotates arround itself, and then the rotation of earth arround Sun, and Sun arround the center of galaxy. We need first know what's the range of our Sun from center of galaxy, then we measure the speed and a lot more, can be done only by computer. While I was measuring these, I found out in one point of a endless question like this, when you can only measure your speed in our planet's current location / year ,or something like that, you need to mix all knowledge of historia, mathematics, physic, philosophy & astrology & religion together to get a correct answer

      Technically.. yes. If theres another galaxy out there with life and its moving WAY faster than us than theyre probably living life at a slower pace. Even basic time for them is slower. Moving and everything.. but to them it's normal. And it would be unnoticable if we went there.

      What is amazing is that there is evidence that the speed of light is not a constant. Unfortunately those studies are marginalized because it threatens the “Provided Paradigm”. Speed of light and how we calculate it the last 200-250 has shown that time is slowing down. Which would be insanely detrimental to all mathematic formulas.

    shouldnt we be talking more about velocity than speed, i mean just because all these things are moving doesnt mean that they are moving in the same direction. just like how running on a treadmill leaves you stationary even though you have a forwards velocity. so this would only be true if all the velocities were in the same direction which in fact, they are most defiantly not.

We will vary between 65k half the spin up to 67k the other half constantly changing. And since your talking about spheres and orbits it changes direction more than just linear movement.

    4:11, that is fucked up maths/physics (Newton would commit suicide), all those speeds/velocity (vector quantity requires direction as well as magnitude)are in different directions, so you cant add them up for an arbitrary value. You need to find the directions as well as speed values , some will cancel out others will be added.

    (just a shot in the dark here, the universe is rotating? in which a single point in space is moving relative to the rotation of the universe in which the speed of this object is equal to the speed of rotation of the universe assuming spacial drag is 0)

  • @loyseugene
    @loyseugene Před 10 lety +4

    This is something I have often talked about with other science minded friends. Another angle of view is that there is no such thing as "speed" without two reference points. Reference point A is the object whose speed you want to calculate and reference point B is whatever you are going to use as a comparative. As you pointed out when you are sitting "still" you are only "still" in comparison to other objects moving at the same speed. When you swing a ball on the end of a string around and around, the farther you travel outward along the string the faster the speed in comparison to the hand swinging the ball. But that is only in comparison to those two reference points. Imagine a photon of light traveling (naturally you might assume) at the speed of light. But it is only traveling at the speed of light in comparison to what you are measuring it against, the second reference point. So, if you could imagine that you ARE a photon of light then you would not feel like you were moving at all and every other photon of light around you going in the same direction would seem to be still as well while the rest of the universe would appear to be travelling at the speed of light. Perhaps if you were a photon of light you would use the phrase the "speed of matter", as all the matter in the universe would seem to be zipping along while you were sitting still.

    • @macah1042
      @macah1042 Před 10 lety +1

      i think so to.
      So if you point A is a foton travling in "empty" Space and you point B is a foton travling in Water. you would not measure that A is moving at the speed of light, but only about 0,45% of the speed of light. :)

    • @loyseugene
      @loyseugene Před 10 lety +1

      Alexander Maach or if your point A is a photon and your point B is the next photon behind that one travelling with it then the photon at point A would not be moving at all. Just like you are not moving at all relative to your chair because both you and your chair are travelling through the universe at the same speed.

  • @Hanible
    @Hanible Před 5 lety +3

    Ok I have 3 points:
    1- speed diliates time, also does gravity. So the stronger the gravity the faster you go the slower your watch tiks.
    2- If the solar system is going up inside the galaxy right now and in 40M years it will go down, assuming the other variables don't change significantly in that period of time, it means at some point it will slow down then pick up speed again. There's a theory in religion saying that humans are said to live longer in the past because the solar system used to travel faster. But they still experience the same biological time.
    3- if you find a warmhole going to a system that has a different speed/gravity than ours, you can experience longer or shorter time spans compared to a human on earth. Like the hyperbolic time chamber in dragon ball where a year is equivalent to a day on earth, basically slowing earthly events or skipping them all together. In other words saving the remaining time of your watch to the events you deem worthy of your attention and living those to the fullest.

  • @tommillitello6461

    I was trying to figure out how far I move per minute on the earth as the earth spins. I came up with something like about 12.5 miles per minute on the earth based on the earth's rotation speed. So I did miles per hour the earth rotates and converted that number to miles per second. What is your calculation for that? How far am I traveling per second in space? Once a spacecraft leaves the earth's orbit, is it even possible for an object to completely stop in space? What would happen to it? Would it be sucked into the sun? If all matter in the universe stopped moving, would everything come together to a big bang then?

  • @BobMerlinx
    @BobMerlinx Před 10 lety +3

    I've been thinking about how fast we're actually moving, so it was really interesting to see someone do the math. However, you'd still have to consider that the earth is moving in around the sun and that the sun is moving around the galaxy, so just adding things up doesn't quite work.
    Let's say that the direction the galaxy is moving is direction A, while the opposite would be direction B. If the earth was moving in direction A relative to the sun and the sun is be moving in direction A relative to the galaxy, adding things up works just fine, and we end up at 2,885,000 mph.
    However!
    If our solar system would be moving in direction B relative to the galaxy, and earth would move in direction B relative to the sun, we'd have to reduce the speed of the galaxy (2,237,000 mph) by 616,667, leaving us at a "mere" 1,620,333 mph, ("only" 450 mi/s or 724km/s).
    Still pretty damn fast, but as I don't know in which direction the solar system is moving to the galaxy, I'd still have to settle for 2,237,000 mph +- 616,000 mph.

      Ryan Blais I answered this question twice already for 2.5 million mph, which is 1/270th the speed of light, and changes time by 0.0014% according to Specific Relativity's equations. So, for our speed around the galaxy of... was it hundreds or thousands of mph? That is 10 to 100 times slower, so time effects would be 100 to 10,000 times less.

    • @sajateacher
      @sajateacher Před 7 lety

      MultiPleaser - ok, fair enough, but over the course of hundreds of millions of years what effects would there be on objects on the outside edge of the galaxy as compared to those nearer the centre?

    • @MultiPleaser
      @MultiPleaser Před 7 lety

      Ryan Blais Shit. More math. Um. I think he said we are going around the galaxy 500,000 mph, so for the stars farther out (twice our radius) they are doing about twice that. Maybe 180% I think. So... Here, you do it. Here's the equation. Time of fast guy = Time of slow guy / (sqrt (1-(v/c)^2)), where v is fast guy's speed, and c is speed of light. Just use 500,000 mph for the outer stars compared to us. C = 670 MILLION mph.

    • @sajateacher
      @sajateacher Před 7 lety

      So the difference is very small, but over great stretches of time, certain rates would be slightly different, such as the conversion of hydrogen into helium or the rate of radioactive decay, so over many millions of years the average composition of stars in the outer edges of the galaxy would be different from those near the centre.

      @Kr3m_ Před 8 lety

      +Yoshi I'm not sure where you studied physics, but time dilation also occurs with velocity regardless of gravitational force. We might not notice time dilation, but if we had a way of teleporting to a galaxy that moved faster than ours and teleporting back, there's a very good possibility that we would experience time dilation.

    • @Nivexity
      @Nivexity Před 8 lety

      Kevin Remisoski Where did YOU learn physics? My statement is still correct, the faster an object is the higher it's mass becomes, thus the higher it's mass the increase in time dilation.
      This is also why you'll only notice time dilation when your velocity is very close to c when your mass approaches infinite.

    • @Kr3m_
      @Kr3m_ Před 8 lety

      You're not going to notice time dilation from your own perspective, but if you were on a mass traveling faster than the mass you originated from, and went back to the mass your originated from, you certainly would notice.

    • @Kr3m_
      @Kr3m_ Před 8 lety

      In addition to that, time dilation does not occur only when you're near high mass objects. That's why I asked where you learned physics. With enough speed, you could be in a fucking space jet and still experience time dilation. If your body was the only thing moving through the universe at near light speed you could lose centuries in minutes without any large mass objects influencing. Dilation does not occur solely from gravitational dilation.

      No he can't. But significant figures, the numbers are not significantly off adding them up for casual I wonder problem.
      The velocity of the galaxy in its direction makes the significant figures of the other motions rather pointless even if you negate them, and the fact that they're never constant since the angle of the velocities change constantly like earth's rotation and that dependent on your latitude too, then orbital direction of our velocity changes just more slower but still varies every moment.
      The only sig figs that matter would be the sun's movement and the galaxies.
      The difference is from 2.237 x 10 ^6 mph + .550 x 10^6 mph= 2.787 x 10^6 mph. The 0.065 x 10^6 mph is really insignificant. You could even argue the 2.237 x 10^6 Milkway velocity compared to combined 2.787 x 10^6 mph or range of error of .550 x 10^6 mph (sun's orbit in the Milkway) is really insignificant compared to the motion of our galaxy.

      Perhaps not necessarily visit but let's say we were able to send space probes almost to speed the light to distant galaxies what the different velocities of Galaxy A vs. Galaxy B matter in that there might be turbulence between the two?
      Maybe I'm not thinking right but let's say we were able to instantly teleport from here to the Andromeda Galaxy. Would we have to take into account the spin of that Galaxy so we're not jumping from the general universe speed that's outside of the outer area of the Andromeda Galaxy say going "60000" miles per hour and into whatever Galaxy you're trying to enter which might be going 200,000 miles per hour for example.?

    So it means that people that live near the equator live longer?

    • @rbrtphn

      Yes, but not so much that it will make a significant difference from someone living far away from the equator.

      yes, but the speed is to low to be interesting.

      no it just means people on the equator experience less time compared to people not on the equator. They generally don't live longer though because average lifespans of people living in countries along the equator are shorter than 1st world countries. Most of which are in temperate or cold climates.

      They will live 1 second longer.

    Could we make use of all these moving parts for gravity assists?

      Relative Speed. But that's not including the Expansion of the Universe Speed which is thing that has the greatest affect on our reference of speed and time.

    At first I was like 🤔... then I went to 😱... now I’m like 😋🌮. Truly amazing!!! We are a giant hyperbolic biosphere of a space ship traveling through space at an amazing speed. That’s important! To think, there are others somewhere out there... 👽 maybe even here with us.

    Imagine if Earth Hit with Huge Impact, Like a Train Accident, what will happen ? :) Witch side hit that side people Fly away from the Earth and Other side the Earth people Will Smash like a Tomato, because of Gravity. :) Wait what about the Ocean ? lol Guess your Self :)

    Very interesting and thank you. I would like to comment though that you can't just add up all of the speeds you listed.
    For example, imagine spinning a small item tied to a piece of string in a horizontal circle while walking. When the item travels in the same direction as you, it will travel faster than you do. When it travels in the opposite direction it will move slower than you, perhaps even stopping or moving backwards relative to the ground.
    If you measure the velocity of our galaxy toward any point of reference that lies on our galactic plane, as long as our solar system is on the side of our galaxy that is rotating away from the point of reference, you actually have to subtract a percentage of our linear velocity from galactic rotation to get our actual velocity toward the point of reference. Furthermore, our velocity toward the point of reference will always be changing as we orbit our galactic center, and our orbital angle relative to a line between it and the point of reference continually changes. Only when this angle is 0 or 180 degrees do you not have to add or subtract a percentage of our linear velocity around our galactic center from the velocity of our galaxy toward the point of reference.
    This, of course, applies to each level of measurement from the earth's rotation on up. I'd like to see the time series of our velocities relative to various points of reference in the universe. I wonder what interesting frequencies they would reveal.
    That said, this was still a fun segment that gave me a fresh perspective on all of the simultaneous motions we are "riding" through the universe.
