@Niels Kloppenburg while I don't subscribe to the theory of flat-earthers, I do understand the premises they set forth. Their model of earth has the south pole as the imaginary border of a disk, and the north pole as the center. So melting a pole on their planet has different affects depending on the pole.

@macaco maco his premium vids killed his channel
@macaco maco lmao wut? I'm not talking politics
@macaco maco they're talking about his newest videos, not this one. Although I did get the free trial, watched all of them and they were pretty neat. But the videos "killed" his channel because he no longer uploads on it but instead makes infrequent appearances on DONG and at least I don't know what he's doing right now though someone else might.
He hasn't posted one since January
Michael please come back
RubenTheScrub he has a channel called dong
He did his show and dong plus he did a bunch of appearances. But he said some what recently he's working on a video
Cornel Botnaru I want Vsauce
Snazzy Clown nah we ain't good enough for him now unless we pay to see him.
Yea that's pretty hypocritical, considering how all of his viewers are embracing socialism in their hearts. He shouldn't do that, really.
This is not only an excellent description of Einstein’s 1914 paper on General Relativity, but it’s the only video description that I’ve ever seen directed at a lay-audience that didn’t suck. Most resort to analogies with balls on trampolines, or whirlpools, and completely mislead the audience.
Yeah I always hated those analogies even as a kid because you still need gravity for the analogy to work
I really do miss these videos more than any other content that has stopped being produced by anyone. The shorts are good, but the way he would diverge topics was always something I loved.
When you are feeling down, just remember that earth is still attracted to you

There’s no feeling quite like watching a Vsauce video, understanding nothing, then coming back a few months later after learning some stuff and understanding it all.
Then coming back
I come back to this video every once in a while to try and get a better understanding of relativity, michael does a really good job of explaining and visualizing it here
@@artimus4198 I’m glad I’m not the only one. I spent quite a bit trying to understand special and general relativity (conceptually) and once it all clicked, I came back and watched a shit ton if Vsauce videos
@@kathrynmercier4874 That is literally my experience as I write this, my Philosophy of Physics module is testing my brain!
@@obelisk941 I hope you’re enjoying revisiting Vsauce with your newfound knowledge as much as I am :)
Aight after watching this video 58 times over the course of the last 4 years this is what I’ve learned about this video:
- Objects with mass curve the space and the existence of *time* allows objects with mass to move and because space is curved by the objects with mass they start to move through the curved space that keeps being curved by the objects with mass and eventually the objects with mass meet each other in a point in space curving the space in a way that the objects with mass keep being together at the same place in space.
- So the objects with mass are not “attracted” to each other, they’re just moving through the three dimensional universe thanks to time and they move because their mass causes the space to curve, if space is three dimensional the curvature is a three dimensional curvature, this three dimensional curvature causes the objects with mass to move through space AND time.
- If *time* did not exist, objects with mass would remain immobile in space, what we know as "gravity" would not exist in a universe without something like time.
Objects with mass move through space because their masses curve space and time causes that movement to occur, in other words, time, which only moves in one direction, causes objects with mass to move through space, which can only move in one direction, "forward" in time.
So, the answer to the question “which way is down?” turns out to be what we know as the direction objects with mass move in the dimension of time.
When you reproduce a video of a guy bungee jumping you’ll see him “falling DOWN”.
But what if you move “backwards” in time?
If you reproduce the same video in reverse you will see the dude “falling UP” moving in the opposite direction of the earth, not towards the earth like we do in this universe.
We humans are just objects with mass and the planet earth is another object with mass, we are not “attracted” to the earth, we are just moving forward in time through a curved space, curvature in space caused in a big part by this MASSIVE object that is our planet earth.
“Going down” is just “going forward” in time.
no shit
You're overthinking it with the time thing. E=mc^2 means energy and mass are one and the same, just different manifestations of the same thing. Mass and energy warps space-time, so say an asteroid at rest, but moving in a velocity (not accelerating) far from the Earth, will continue on its way without interacting much with the Earth. An asteroid going at the right speed and moving close to the Earth can be captured into orbit, like a moon. It's at rest, but falling as fast as the curvature of the Earth so it never strikes the Earth. An asteroid that is closer, will circle the Earth and slowly fall down and strike it. But all three objects are at rest, moving in a straight line. It's only the mass of the Earth curving space-time causing the last two asteroids to "fall" towards it.
Also, light no mass, but its path (space-time) is curved, so light will bend around massive objects. That's why even light can't escape the curvature of space-time created by black holes.
@@user-rr5kr8tc3k They are just sharing how they have come to understood the video, no need to be a shithead.
the first one sounded like The mass of a mass is mass with mass from mass :)
So in theory we have to move at the speed of light to get down or?
I loooove your videos! I'm able to understand everything and can explore any topic the Vsauce way. Very creative and fun! Plus, it blows my minf how sometimes the videos are from ages ago . It's surreal how much effort must go into these masterpieces. The quality is just outstanding and you have a talent for keeping the listeners attention for this long, really! Thank you so much, I learnt so many things through your videos which I never thought were even interesting matters.
Wife: I want you to go down on me.

Five years ago at time of commenting. This feels like I'm watching a video from 2014, with how well made and entertaining it is. I'm glad VSauce has endured and continues to make wonderful content. It's a nice break to go back and watch these masterpieces. Thank you so much.
It’s a tradition to come back to these masterpieces once in a while.

@M. Talk time doesn't exist. It is Made up by counting intervals of things just happening. Like earth ging around the Sun.
We just startet calling this a day at some point.
The Invention of measuring time, is Handy though. We need it to describe stuff that is happening, to Predict things an so on.
It's za warudo
@@Gartendalf mhhh, if you say that anyone could argue that neither space exists, it's just whats between two existing things, for any arbitrary existing things. And we can also measure space, associate a number with a quantity of it. The thing that makes this type of reasonings seem odd to me is that you neglect the existence of time but ackwnoledge the concept of instant (measure between two instants), and I don't think that's so simple.
@@anuman99ful space exists. Time just doesn't.
1000 Meter way always take 1000 meters to walk.
While the time it would take to achieve that distance is dependant on your speed.
Thus time must be Made up. There is just speed and distance.
From that we humanes derive time.

Okay, literally the whole "curvature of spacetime" idea made zero sense in my practical mind until this video. Seriously, that's awesome.
Exactly!! This video is actually so good
So true
And this is not even the whole answer either...
Michael could have gone further, explaining how in reality 22:36 the pencil that we see falling in the video is not actually falling at all... "only when the pencil hits the Earth" is true but hides something very important. Yes the pencil hits the Earth but in reality is the Earth that hits the pencil... Since the Earth is traveling through space and the pencil isn't!
And it isn't because there are no forces acting on it... 22:09 "every part of the pencil follows a straight line"
A straight line in this diagram means that the pencil is not moving in space - (hence the straight line) it's only moving in time (in time in the spacetime diagram (which is 4 dimensional btw..)).
Therefore that was a cool video but Michael lost the best opportunity to say these words "When you let something fall... It doesn't".
Dude same
Thank you, I appreciate that.
24:35 Bro threw a girl to explain which way is down 💀
Six years later and I still love to show this to people around me.

this is one of the comfiest vsauce videos ive ever seen, wish i knew all the music in this
I've always had this question about ice skaters in the Olympics, regarding the ribbon test at about 18:00. How is it a fair race when the person on the outside of the rink has a longer distance to cover than the person on the inside?
idk much about the sport but do the athletes have the same starting line or no?
if the athlete on the inside starts earlier than the outer rings then it means they've accounted for the curvature by making the start lines specific to each ring
They always ask “where is down?” But never “how is down?” :(

Down knows what sins it has committed through the ages. It needs to be constantly monitored for our well being.
Everyone: “Vsauce is dead”
Vsauce: literally makes Mind Field free
Just incredible. I think they don't even get enough appreciation for that
Ofcourse they don't 🤷♂️
I wonder if he used CZcams red for money and production and then after he got it, it went free
💥💣💣💥💣💣💥💥😢💣💥💣💥💥💣🔥🔥🔥🔥☻
Here's the thing tho, I don't even really like Mindfield. The big build up is always for some kind of experiment, but the Vsause I fell in love with just had crazy ways of linking disparate ideas together. Throwing budget at a show to make cool experiments just isn't Vsause. It's mindfield. The few episodes I've watched were relatively boring.
i used this video to teach my boyfriend about relativity. he's thrilled, he's never gotten good science education and always loved physics but was never taught the basic conceptsso everything is a bit harder for him. used to video not only to show him what relativity was but also for him to learn the F = ma formula. this is a classic video
Hypothetically if a group of people moved and stayed 1 mile under the surface of the earth, then they would seemingly live longer than us on the surface, if mass is moving toward where time is slowest

Nikay Mackenzie 5. (11, for the other peeps. but then also that level goes to 11)
mavo 4, does it tooo. havo 4 test and have that.
Dutchik i never had circular and gravitational movement in 4havo
So you're telling me I can move the earth the width of a proton if I drop a wooden pencil 9 trillion times?
Everytime I watch this video I understand It a little bit more. It is impressive how Michael is able to give so much knowledge in a 26 minute video
"Or is it because of time travel?"
*Music starts*
Thats when I know shit's about to get real
HoudBla 2 Weeks. TWO FKING WEEKS if you think thats any old idk what to say. Stop making dumb excuses that its an "old comment" (2 weeks ago)
HoudBla It is true and was funny but not really now, its overused af. I told you i was joking with "pls die" to be sarcastic but idk if you listened cus you seem offended now idk :/. Also why are you calling me an idiot and be like AHHAHAHAHAH. You seem so childish when you do that.
AnOriginalName death is not a joke you idiot why would you say "Pls die" to someone that's a horrible thing to say what if someone was very stressed then someone on the internet says to them "Pls die" how do you think they would feel?
Okay it was dumb of me to say that im sorry. My point is that its an overused joke and thats what i wanted to say.
Witapro Also stop calling me idiot. It seems like you two are the same guy with different account or brothers/friends cus you act simular.
“Do things fall because they’re being pushed, or pulled? Or is it because of _time travel?_ ”
Those are two *wildly* separate options
Yeah pushing and pulling are so different smh
@@drippylad3973 Literally two separate actions, again: WILDLY different
Time is literally just motion and that blows my mind sometimes. Like living is like taking a cross section of the motion of the universe and expiriencing it in a carbon based suit
first things first, lets turn the sun into a blackhole
First things first let’s turn the sun into a black hole
These terms and explanations are too common nowadays but explaining these complex terms at that old time is just unimaginable.Hats off dude!
the time it took me to comment made me miss many lemme rewatch......forever
funny thing about the cone is that it also is flat for all points except at the tip where curvature is undefined. (we literally see him unroll it) rather, the coordinate lines that we use to describe spacetime on the cone are curved.
"unless it's time travel? let's start by turning the sun into a black hole" OKAY SLOW DOWN BUDDY
🤣
Still waiting for another non CZcams red video
Edit: guys I’m aware he’s released a new video
Same, although Michael has explained that he has plans for new Vsauce1 videos in the future:
www.reddit.com/r/vsauce/comments/86a49b/can_anyone_tell_me_why_the_vsauce_videos_of/
Yoshifan0312 Yeah he did. A fucking YEAR ago.
And he still hasn’t uploaded non-premium videos.
@@justanotherrandomcrit8115 if you want good content sometimes you gotta pay for it
Connor Jones Oh I have premium I just mean 2 things. One: most people don’t have premium and Two: he hasn’t uploaded a normal _Vsauce_ video in a while.
My God I did not expect a lesson on space-time that was so well put together I finally understood what it was about
turning the scale around and weighing the earth blew my mind a bit.
"The sun is currently not a black hole, but we can change that"
-every super villain ever
"First tings first: Let's turn the sun into a black hole"
I already said sorry in advance. 😓
956, that dudde saying to remind him to not annoy vsauce intensifies
I ask the same question when auto rotate misbehaves...
hahhahaa
Vln Murthy I love you

You can’t look away for a second or you’re just confused but it’s still entertaining to watch. Good job Vsauce.
in 5:01, I came up with the idea
"Given 2 baseball balls (we consider them as perfect spheres) with the same mass m1 = m2 = m = 0.142kg, the same radius R0 = 0.037m, placed apart a = 1m (the distance between their centre) in empty space, both of the objects are in a static state at first. How long will they touch?
Given attractive constant G = 6,67408 x 10^-11"
solve it, the result is about 2.93 days, use a lot of calculus
My friend: which way is down?
Me: the downward direction.
Vsauce: first, let's turn the sun into a black hole.
Because of time travel
Damnit I thought I came up with that comment but I scrolled down and here you are beating me to it
''First things first, let's turn the sun into a black hole.'' - Vsauce 2017

You're right, thanks mate.

Jordan Rage No prob
Jordan Rage I just came to that part XD
I’m still having a hard time grasping it, but from what I got basically we’re the pencil, right?
I still can’t get past how it isn’t the earth moving “up” that makes us stand on your feet, like the hammer and feather in a box.
We’re moving with earth, but mostly because of time? Guess I’m stuck on the “but we’re standing still, how can we be falling?” part.
“Are we being pushed, or pulled?! Or...is it TIME TRAVEL...first, let’s turn the sun into a black hole.”
I mean If your new here, well uhhhh this is about as *logical as it gets.*
"Next watch me slap my massive balls around."
“In order to understand why the chicken crossed the road, we need to read some ancient Sumerian proverbs.”
SEND ME HATE ON MY CHANNEL ggfgfgfgbbbbbbbb
@@idkanameforthis I'll send CZcams a spam report for you instead.
I'm sure before this video, if you were asked what would happen if the sun became a black hole of the same mass, you would answer that the earth would get sucked in.
At the end it just makes you appreciate how much of a genius Einstein was for thinking of gravity this way.
I just wish I was as smart as Einstein
The man is remembered as a titan of science & physics for a reason, he was so far ahead of everyone else he's still pulling us along now.
I'm still amazed by the 'c' ... how does one calculate Speed of Light without even having state of the art equipment that we have as of today... and don't even start me on the Gravitational Waves theory.
And yet Tesla said he was a crackpot... so who do you trust... the engineer who invented our modern electrical grid and a whole bunch of other stuff us plebs aren't allowed to know about... or the fuzzy headed crackpot that never invented anything?
@@Sciurus tesla also believed the earth was covered by a firmament and had some pretty whacky spiritual and religious beliefs. I mean he was a great engineer who was also ahead of his time, but then again a lot of his ideas even involving electricity were and still are impossible.
In another universe this is not the case but someone made a poetic horror book about it.
5 years later and this is still the coolest video Michael has ever put out imo
“Which way is down?”
Me: Hm, this should be cool
*IS IT BECAUSE OF TIME TRAVEL? FIRST THINGS FIRST, LET’S MAKE THE SUN INTO A BLACK HOLE*
EpicToast Animations hahahahahahaha
LFMAAAAO!!!
When I heard that I thought this was gonna be a parody episode
It reminded me of "Hi, Vsauce, Michael here! But where is here? And how much does it weigh?" :D
EpicToast Animations "We should DEFINITELY do that, Michael!"
When Micheal asked "Or is it because of time travel" I honestly ascended
Same lmaoo
Assented?
