  • Gravity is said to be the curvature of space and time, but what does such curvature actually look like? In this video we explore the foremost solution to Einstein's equations -- the Schwarzschild solution -- in order to construct a concrete visualization of the spacetime manifold. Will this visualization grant us new insight into our higher-dimensional reality? The secrets of gravity are locked away... in The Geometry of a Black Hole.

    When the whole manifold of spacetime comes to a point, as you mentioned at 15:30, the r coordinate is r=2GM/c^2. The time-time component of the metric tensor goes to 0, so it makes sense that everything converges to that point. But by the same token, the radial-radial component is infinite, right? So it seems to me that if the radial distance of that point is infinitely far away, you'll never actually reach it. Some modern physics discussions talk a lot about the problems of knowing what's beyond the event horizon. But if nothing actually ever gets to the event horizon, then isn't the answer simply that: there's nothing beyond the event horizon? Because nothing ever falls in that deep, as it would have to travel an infinite distance to do so?

      @CleverNeologism Před rokem +4

      You are not wrong. From the POV of a distant observer, nothing ever reaches the event horizon... it slowly approaches it, and dims as it redshifts and asymptotically approaches the horizon. It's not that it's just infinitely far away... it spacetime after all. It's also infinitely in the future. From the POV of the object falling in it takes a finite (and short) time to reach the horizon and whatever is beyond it. Consider the transformations he shows to convert between inertial and orbiting (accelerated) observers in the video. In doing that rotation, and combining it with curved spacetime, the space and time dilations undo each other, and you get a finite distance and time travelled by the falling observer (i.e. they are reciprocals). 2D space is not 2D spacetime: imagine each ring has a vector between 0 (at the distant observer) and pi/4 (tip) attached to it to represent the Lorentz rotation applied in order to keep the orbital lines parallel in the diagram. This introduces the "twist" he shows for inertial observers that fall in.

I have a followup question. Suppose, long after Bob has already jumped in, Alice also jumps in. As we said, in-falling observers cross the event horizon. So Alice must cross it. But now, she also must observe Bob cross it at some point before she herself does, since Bob jumped first. Is this so? If so, it would suggest that there is some non-zero distance from the event horizon at which you actually can witness things cross into the event horizon.

    Hi, I'm a little confused when you talk about the motion on the manifold 12:08. I mean that I don't understand why you consider two observers. Why is it necessary to accelerate to maintain the radial distance constant in the first place. Isn't that what is supposed to result. I thought that free-falling objects approach massive bodies simply because if you follow the proper time, that's where their future leads. What I want to say is that the visual representation should point out the fact that if you draw a geode on the manifold then you inevitable would approach the massive body, right???

      Recently i have been thinking about all the simplifications and visualizations i see in explanations of phenomena, i am not sure if am learning or being mislead. The issue is trying to teach complicated concepts while skipping all the complicated details, the question is: Does any of it communicate an accurate and useful explanation or is it more often misleading people into believing something wrong? Language use can be just as misleading as visuals, so i do not think visualizations alone are the sole concern.

    • @PSG_Mobile
      @PSG_Mobile Před rokem +3

      If I got right... The inertial object moves on r direction following the curvature of spacetime, in this case the distance r decreases as it moves on time direction. The only way to keep a constant r distance in this curved spacetime is to accelerate in the opposite direction. The non inertial observer is not necessary to explain the motion of the inertial object, it is just to show how the inertial object moving on the curved spacetime looks like a free falling object from the point of view of a stand observer in r direction.

      Hey, thanks for watching! You're correct to point these issues out. One of the first things we learn in General Relativity is that objects follow their natural geodesics on the curved spacetime manifold -- but clearly here the inertial objects do NOT follow geodesics. The typical answer most physicists will give is that because we have used a euclidean surface to represent a hyperbolic one (spacetime distances involve a negative sign) geodesics will take a direction "opposite" to what we expect. However we suspect that the mismatch between geodesics and inertial worldlines are more related to the fact that this surface is constructed from the accelerated perspective (which would constantly introduce an "offset" to the manifold's straight paths, making them non-straight). Many physicists, even the highly credentialed ones, don't understand acceleration in relativity very well, so it's possible once we re-construct the manifold from an inertial perspective, geodesics and worldlines will match up. We hope to resolve this issue and provide a fuller explanation in future videos.
      As to why one needs to accelerate to maintain constant radial distance, we suggest checking out our video "The Sky is Falling Up" for more on that.

      @@narfwhals7843 In the original script, we addressed this issue, but for time and flow and comprehension purposes, we cut it. Mainly, because it involved a whole discussion about acceleration in GR, and, well, you know how well that's gone over in prior videos. It's not unfair to accuse us of being misleading here, as the mismatch between geodesics and inertial worldlines here is definitely a major omission and source of confusion. However, unlikes *some* channels, we are fully prepared to address why we made such an omission, and moreover, do intend to clarify it in future videos.

    A very accurate and lovingly done production -bravo! I would have no reservations in presenting this to an introductory relativity class. Bur as they say, and you imply, good teaching involves the gentle stripping away of simplifying lies and distortions.In this context I would simply caution any student to not take the use of the eyeball, in representing the observer's local frame, too, too literally. The issue is one of comparing events as located in highly useful co-ordinate systems for the manifold, like the Minkowski coordinates used throughout here, using measurements such observers might make. This should not be taken as what would literally and immediately be seen by a local astronaut, as light travel time and path over macroscopic distances would as a rule give distorted personal results. The student must be reminded to think in terms of measurement possible in some local (proper) frame (free-falling or not), as if "present everywhere at once" at some proper time instant, to avoid certain pitfalls (alluded to right from the start). Notwithstanding, a very nice primer on actually "handling" curved spacetimes! All the best, D. Barillari, PhD.

      So we are not speaking of a linguistical dialect or colloquialism of sorts. What we are really discussing is the speed of light and how exceeding it, may cut you off from the laws of the known universe, or exceed the laws that allow you to perceive those laws visually or mathematically.
      Personally I think black hole is large fork that spins space-time around like spaghetti, forming large twine like ball of linguini-like universe all rolled up small enough to exceed the laws of regular universe. If universe was a large quilt these would it be spots that God jam a fork into and twist around to hold things in place like tacks or to be like drain pipes for the universe that empty into impossible 4 dimensional spaghetti twirling forks of universe!

    From your explanation of the spacetime curvature (STC), if a disc, with its normal pointed to the center of the planetary body, is rotated to near the speed of light (C), the time dilation (TD) it experiences would reduce the turning of the STC "cone", thereby reducing its "free-fall" towards the planetary body, correct?

    Ok. This time I finally got it. It all clicks now, and I see exactly where you have been going in your explanation of how mass acceleration + space-time curvature = Newtonian gravity. Curvature of the space-time manifold balances acceleration such that for any given mass (the earth, for example), the physical dimensions of the mass become stationary relative to any fixed point in the manifold. The explanation was right there in your diagram of the inertial observer vs. the accelerating observer. As the mass is accelerating, it may not blow up, but my mind sure has. Well done!

    The funny thing is that even neutron stars we can perfectly well see can be inside their own photon sphere, meaning they negate or invert centrifugal force. It's not just that light isn't fast enough to orbit them that close. It's that their surface geometry is flat or concave so no amount of speed will actually let you escape horizontally.
    Similarly, as you approach a black hole, it is no mere optical illusion that the universe sinks into an infinitismal point and the event horizon becomes all-encompassing. The event horizon is in fact deeply concave at every point.

I have been trying so hard to visualise what was going on from other You tube videos and unable to but now I see it ! Just wondering if you had any further way to explain what is happening to the spaceship and asteroid in the end of the " Idea List" video entitled " How time dilation causes gravity and how inter works"? Do you have any tricks on how to explain how spacetime caused inertia in empty space?

    • @dialectphilosophy
      @dialectphilosophy  Před 7 měsíci

      Thank you for watching! The question of "what causes inertia" is unfortunately deeply speculative, and no one yet has a good answer. We also wouldn't recommend the Idea List video which, although its creator clearly had good intentions, conflates the projective meaning of coordinates with actual physical spacetime curvature. (See our "True Cause of Gravity Video" for more on this).
