Space is where things happen. Time is when things happen. And sometimes, in order to really look at the universe, you need to take those two concepts and mash them together. In this first lesson of a three-part series on space-time, hilarious hosts Andrew Pontzen and Tom Whyntie go through the basics of space and time individually, and use a flip book to illustrate how we can begin to look at them together.
Lesson by Andrew Pontzen and Tom Whyntie, animation by Giant Animation Studios.
It reminds me of Albert Einstein's quote : "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
It's so amazing!
Yeah , it will remind me
That's Bohr
Or maybe you think it's simple because you are Einstein but other people still find very complex
That's Feynmen's qoutation
Aww I've never heard that quote before but it's brilliant!
me: trying my hardest to understand what the heck is going on
my brain: why the heck do they only have four fingers per hand
Kun Feng 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol
Don’t judge them, you only have 4 fingers per hand. The other one is a thumb.
So m not alone lol
As a person who hated physics in high school, thanks for making me feel intrigued by physics again. I'm actually clicking the part 2 video. Awesome. This shows how well-crafted animation videos can make abstract ideas concrete to layman like me.
I find that those with the intelligence to first know the word 'layman' and secondly to then apply it to themselves are rarely ever a layman. Socratic wisdom and all that jazz.
Fundamental Sciences are Loved!
Either this animation has explained the concept brilliantly or its just making it too simple to be accurate.
Totally agree
Too simple to be inaccurate* you mean
@@amoghskulkarni No, too simple to be accurate
Lol I didn't get it
Ok
i love how enthusiastic the person talking is! :D
Still don't get it
Have u watched second and third part of this video.
Watch xkcdhatguy
Pick a number between 1 and 10
Seek and you will find!
(I don't get it too but I obviously don't want to know it bad enough at the moment)
Each moment you are a different person.
These fellas are ADORABLE!
This is absolutely the best explanation for the space time diagram.
Schools: No! Youu can't learn physics and animation together
Ted ed: Hold my cup😜
That moment when you're a seagull and you become a cosmic ray. Mood
Just listen to me, I'm not kidding.
Last night I was wondering about space-time while sleeping and the next day i got this video on my recommendation. I have never searched anything related to space time ever in youtube or in Google.
you actually moved to future in your dream (4th dimension) and played this video unknowingly. sleep again to come back :P
i feel like Einstien
This is so ironic :-)
@@robertkuhn90 lmao
@@robertkuhn90 why lol
@@gloriawang5608 tbh i am not dure myself but i think it has to do that einstein created these theories.
@@blauwbeer556 oh okay well then that's just a misuse of the word "ironic"
wtf am i doing here.
i got a test tommorrow and now im just watching sone guys talking about spacetime
How was your test?
Have you finished the test after 4 years?
Are you INTP?
It's probably the only video on CZcams that has defined spacetime in the best possible way.
I'm 18 months old and I understand this.
Alex Leaud you can write, good job. I could write at 3 months old.
I could study about space and time when i was 5 years old
Aj Styles
Pathetic.
i was born with it coz my mom watched this ted clip!
Please, a real overachiever understands this as an embryo.
I'm just in stomach
Wow TED-Ed, you really makes it all sound so simple. I really love this animation.
When you try to explain space and time to others but they just assume I'm talking about clocks lol
めっちゃわかりやすいです！
Once I finally was able to realize that time only applies to objects within space and not space itself the relationship between the two became much more clearer for me.
This has got me thinking about both space time, and how/why they went for 2D/3D animation at the same time
Elegantly put. Well done.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the animation and the narrator ?
What a brilliant illustration.. Relativity isn't so intuitive and you and its not always easy see the picture in the equations.
Great job!!
Love your videos 😊 thanks for making them
Flipbook is best way to explain space time. Couldn't find any better video explaining space time like Andrew and Tom did
Very nice, has taken me just one step further to understanding brief history of time, going to read it again. By far, better than rest of the videos on space-time.
My smart friend: space-time
Me: is that like face-time?
That was the best relativity explanation I've ever seen.
Excelente vídeo. Philochrony is the theory that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Time is magnitive: objective, Imperceptible (intervals) and measurable (duration).
This should be shown in every school and institute
cant wait for part two!!!
Cant wait till the next animation!
Imagine you all are in the
Space time flip book !
Wow phenomenal for teaching!
probably one of the best explanation of space-time iv ever seen
Better explanation than a textbook. Thank you TED
"Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the Fourth Dimension?"
Absolutely mind blowing
Just loved it........super simple explanation...thanks :)
For us humans, we experience space differently to time. We can move backwards and forwards and sideways in space but we can only move forwards in time. Also we can move through space faster (in less time) but it seems that time decides for us how fast we move through it.
Actually, our movement through space decides how fast time moves relative to everyone else and our brains interpret the rate at which we experience time. For instance, animals can experience time differently than humans. But you are right that the direction we move through time doesn't seem to be up to us. Probably because of entropy.
@@CitpeksAmi I don't really feel like I understand it. It's strange to be so familiar with space and time and yet not really be able to grasp it all.
I watched tons of vids and this one was the only one that I understood thank you very much
Good stuff. Never stop learning,
Finally an educational video of spacetime I can keep up with.
Nice video :D
I'm still sure that time is a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff but well now I know some of the details.
:D
A very good explanation. I love TED ed.
My brain got lost somewhere in space time
Maybe one of the few ted ed vids i finished not having to gasp for more air.
im 13 and i watched this video voluntarily without any knowledge and i get this
i have literally know idea what they aretalking about
Space and time are relative, the more time I spend with my relatives the more space I need
this makes it so clear
Superb superb man . How could I thank u for making this video , very well explained. Greetings
Wonderful!
Nicely done!
as an animator who loves learning about space this makes me happy lmao
great. thank you.
Excellent video, beautifully animated. Physics teaches us what we should know but always forget, 'it's always good to see things from different perspectives.'
I think that goes for all the negative commenters who say this is 'too simple'. Too bad not everyone can be as worldly or as intelligent as you all. Pff
Bilal Ahmadi I
If you can explain it simply, it's an indication that you understand it
Great! Very well done.
Where's part II?
My eyes: watching
My brain: what's for dinner?
Wow pbs did. Videos about these lines and I didn't get it but that was explained so well...bravo. And thankyou
Mind blown
I actual
I learned something
This is brilliant
Please please please make a series with them
i really did not notice time passing.good work
I loved this explanation but sometimes when I don't get it properly I just re-watch it again and again......Thanks TED Ed for brilliant content.....😌
Oh I love this. ^^
Great video, thanks TED
I enjoy this video!
Amazing
Thanks
Space - Where things happen?
Time - When things happen?
Me - Why things wanna happen?
On a scale of 1 to 10 how much of the video did you understand
Me: yes
Sweet this is by far the best explanation for the worldline ❤️❤️
Simple but very useful this time I got it thank you very match please some more
Really nice explanation and good animation.. 👍
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
only if you have a TARDIS or a really nice bow-tie because bow-ties are (what?) cool
PancorRath If you were a true whovian, you would know that it was David Tennant that said that.
czechmate30
David Tennant? pretty sure it was Matt Smith who said and etch in stone how cool bow-ties are... along with fez, fish sticks and custard and being possibly the dorkiest of Doctors
Sounds like something Rick would say...
gr8 stuff!1 thx. any links to parts 2 and beyond, plz?
Woah! this is so simple yet so informative! thanks, Ted-ed!
Pls make a second part
The next animation needs to be today!
I thought I had a decent understanding of space-time via Einstein's special theory of relativity. So I was surprised that I really didn't understand this video. Is it just me?
This is classical physics. The next part is special relativity and Einstein.
I wonder if they are going to come to the conclusion that time progression is actually an illusion and that all time (past, present and future) exists simultaneously as does all possibilities.
Good video. I like the idea of baby steps in explaining complex topics.
R u doing this on head squeeze also, I loved the vid about time travel
Really nice! Thanks alot!
Far better and understandable explanation than pbs space time channel
it's like The 11th and the 12th dr. giving me a good explanation :D
As a visual/kinaesthetic learner, I learn more through watching CZcams and cross-checking info in a Library than I did over 5 years and $50g worth of university 😓
Me: HEY I PASSED SCIENCE ONCE I SHOULD TAKE ON ALL OF SPACE
future me: why can't i just h a v e a b r a i n
Good one.
Even if you create a whole one hours video instead of parts, we're going to watch it
It is crucial that you understand the difference between the Newtonian world view that the axis’s of your graph remain unaffected by motion. You simply rotate the graph within them to get the relative perspective you require. But the speed of light is “special “ you can not rotate its world line when trying to view from the perspective of a moving observer. So the only way you can get the moving observers world line vertical without affecting the world line of light is to consider the graph paper as a rubber sheet, call the sheet the space time continuum, a single thing, and stretch and squeeze it in a manner that results in the observers world line being vertical, but the world line of light remaining unaffected.
The result will distort the time and space axis, which Newton said did not happen anywhere in space at any time. If you read off the position of a point that has suffered distortion on the undistorted axis, it will show a smaller reading than its original position before distortion had taken place. Time moves slower for a moving observers and distance shrinks it the direction of motion, but they would both agree on the speed of light.
I want so hard to understand! I need to understand! But even when broken down like this into bite-sized chunks, my brain struggles. But alas! I will persevere!
Oh..the animation is great😂
they are awsome
I haven’t slept for a while and figured all this out and tried to explain to ppl and they think I’m crazy
This video is Genius
They proved that our lives are mere animations.....
Ahh, it's the Head Squeeze guys! :D
Ok, where is the next animation? The interest is peaked!!
Crazy!
In Australia we measure spacetime as "kilometres per hour". my car strangely enough has a meter just for this purpose.
Illustrated as motion.....
Instead of complicating things, you can simply say just like length, breath and height, time is also a dimension. That gives us our 4 - D. And that's true we move through time as well just like we move through length, breath and height. Although there is an exception too, we haven't yet figured out a way to move back in time
Time is not spacial......
