Eclipses are grand celestial events, a chance to witness the mechanics of our solar system in action. An eclipse gives scientists a unique opportunity to study light as it passes near the Sun. Eclipses also play an important role in the timeline of scientific discovery.
Over one hundred years ago, during the same time as World War I, Albert Einstein, relatively unknown at the time, introduced a new theory that would completely shift our understanding of space, time, and motion.
Einstein’s theory of relativity predicted that the Sun’s gravitational field would bend the starlight’s path, making the stars appear slightly out of place in a photo, by 1.75 arc seconds to be exact.
If Isaac Newton and his law of universal gravitation was correct, it’d only be by half as much.
Learn more about the space quest and solar eclipse that proved Einstein’s theory of relativity, changed physics forever, and made Einstein famous in this episode of Focal Point.

In 1905 Einstein published his theory about space.
And it was about time.
Ha!!! Nice oneee
Best joke so far
uh-uh, no. don't even.
Sebastian Elytron good pun
Einstein: (saving mankind)
Also Einstein: (smokes pipe)
War and Peace joke?
Einstein used the eclipse to throw shade at Newton.
R/wooOosh
@XY ZW
So the amount of energy released from Radioactive elements doesn't follow Mass-Energy equivalence ? Because it is a direct consequence of Special relativity when you try to fix Momentum conservation in 4D Spacetime
Relativistic BURN!!
Added to nerd joke collection.
@XY ZW It would be a shame if a pair of European satellites in highly eccentric orbits with highly accurate atomic clocks proved Einstein right.
The way this episode developed was amazing. I felt like I was watching a National Geographic Episode

i agree
I'm from Sobral,very proud to this eclipse
A 'relatively' unknown scientist. 🤣

Puns, fricking puns...
Because Einstein only work as a patent clerk in Swiss Office until 1905 where he published 4 miracle papers. Then spend the last 10 years developing general theory of relativity. So basically, unknown before 1905, relatively known after 1905, and a popular science icon in 1919. ^_^

This video just goes to show how pathetic war gets in the way of the progression of knowledge.
but we enhanced technology through war
@@JushBJJ it's a dilemma isn't it
@@Tensho_C war makes things pathetic but without war we would never advance like we have to this point it would of taken millions of years to do it like would we of ever farmed if there was always food available to find
@@Mystickrage I know, that's why i said it's a dilemma, but Thanks
@@Mystickrage it did make advancements quicker but not a million years quicker, like 30-50 years quicker. In a million years the human race will be gone because we will have killed ourselves to extinction by war or global warming
1:31 correct way of showing bending of space time....
Unlike other videos, where 2D idea is shown.....Well done seeker..👍
I really love where seeker has gone. It’s really improved and has become far more centered around scientific communication to the public. Rather than the more political of the past.
Duuuuude! Imagine if they had the technology we have today... Damn!
The possibility of their being a new theory that could shape our understanding of the universe is crazy!! I hope I'm alive to witness the new paradigm shift.
Irony: To upend Newton's PRINCIPIA, despite the troubles caused by PRINCIP, scientists must go to the island of PRINCIPE.
Astute observation.
Holy smoke! Nice one. Wonder if this was planned in some way. Einstein, you little...
I witnessed the south American eclipse a month ago, it was such a surreal experience
Aww man
So we back in the mine (?)

My personal Fave, Einstein, Munroe also loved him for his intelligence and foresight. 😊❤
Einstein not only seems to have been a genius but also a very humble, decent and funny man.
Sagittarius A* lol he was kinda mad, accounts said that when he was at Princeton you could often see him wandering in the corridors talking to walls. He was too smart for this world
Scientists: solar eclipse
Flat earthers: *triggered*
Well done episode. Great explanations.
Great video! Really enjoyed it 😊
This video is impressingly good
Wow!!! This is all so amazing. thanks.
Clearly explanation and love it
Hey your video was nice, but I am confused that yes gravity bents light but during the solar eclipse only sunlight blocked and hence more stars were visible, but there is no change in the gravitational force of Sun ,so how light was bent exactly.
Very well developed episode!
physics has Never changed . Only our perception of physics has changed .
As always, the search of finding answer to single Q leads to a lot of Qs!! That’s the physics at its best))
thank you
Awesome stuff
Random note but something in this made me feel the need to look it up: the Mariana trench is 158 miles deep. Wow. Just wow.
I have no words to explain how the past present and future of science make me feel....
8:26 oooohh so that’s what loop quantum gravity looks like!
This video poped up after just finishing the Natgeo's Genius show on Einstein & it's pretty breathtaking in every way....
It shows afterall Einstein is Human...
@david chappel
Yeah😂
that detector in Antarctica could really mess up things soon :D
Screw 1999! That's better footage you took lately. Thank you!
I guessed right on the poll then
Anyone else nerding out at the fact that this finding got published [almost] a century ago??????
He used to smoke a lot :)
Still waiting on being able to walk on light.
Brilliant
Ayyy Seeker, like.. Thrill Seeker ;)
Hell yeah...!!
6:52 is it neharu???? 🙄
thats nehru @ 1:09
3:30 Steve Carell worked on this project, the man did everything!!!!
and when einstein died, he requested his body not to be experimented but they took his brain, cut it into several pieces to be studied by different people without letting his family know.
@a normal everyday Spider We did learn some things from his brain. For example, the areas of his brain that deal with spatial reasoning were much more developed than average.
.
Of course, how useful that information is is up for debate. It doesn't tell us whether he was able to come up with his theories because of an over-developed sense of spatial reasoning, or if his spatial reasoning centers developed more because of how much time he spent thinking about his theories. It also doesn't tell us how one would go about coercing the over-development of a person's spatial reasoning areas, nor does it tell us if that over-development was the only necessary piece of the puzzle.
.
Not to mention, Einstein died during the heyday of things like lobotomies. Cutting up brains was all the rage at the time, and little things like ethics were being routinely overlooked by medical researchers, especially in psychology. Its hardly a huge surprise that his wishes would have been ignored given the practices of the day.
.
Nowadays not only would we be far less likely to ignore his wishes, we'd also consider his dead brain to be relatively useless. And even if we did decide to poke at it (and got permission..) we now have things like MRI and CAT that can image the brain without having to physically destroy it. Or better yet, if the brain is still alive, fMRI is significantly better at showing how various areas activate during specific activities than trying to deduce activity based purely on structural imaging (or slides.)
@a normal everyday Spider There are many things rendered useless by better technology as time goes on. Certainly by today's standards, it seems pretty useless (perhaps even wasteful since we had to physically destroy the specimen.)
.
But scientists in the 1950s didn't have today's technology, nor today's insights. And a lot of what we have learned has been _negative_ results -- that is, trying something and finding out that it was "useless" also tells us something.
.
So overall, yes we kind of agree. I'm just suggesting that we need to take historical context into account rather than simply condemning them for an act that, at the time, seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to do (and as noted, ethics wasn't really a concept for _any_ scientists back then either so even the lack of consent has to be taken with a pinch of historical salt.)
... wait didn’t he consent to his body being used for scientific research?
"Relatively" unknown scientist😏

If you gather todays comments you might find some useful information that will lead to new conclusions, to better views and understanding than the past perceptions over our world and universe. Not one man is the father of an idea, it's the composition of influenced information to that man.
You are much more kind than I, and more eloquent. And gracious.
Thx. For posting.
Well yes, but actually no
We are in a matrix of refrenceframes for each fundamental component: space, time, quantum forces, gravity etcⁿ... .It is possible to invoke anything (quantuum particle by quantuum particle) into existence through coordinated stimmulation on everyⁿ refrenceframe.
Stuff Is, because of the chainreaction of a one in a lifetime event when suddenly random stimmulations on every frame eccedet a critical mass situation - Big Bang?
Wow!
Hopefully the next dlc will unlock the secrets of the universe
Was surprised to learn that Newton’s theory would also predict some change in apparent position.
Why'd the throw out the instrument that supported Newton?
Funny how people often use this picture as thumbnail for their video while this isn't Einstein at all but an actor who played Einstein in a stage play.
What is 4 the dimension is it time or other dimension like 8d quasicrystal ?
Time
I thought the dimension were length, hight, width and time.
Nice
Missed the last one slept in too long and some one didn't wake me when they were watching it i never seen anything space related always to far away, damn I'll be 44 when I see one that makes me sad

How long did it take him to find the eclipse
Einsten only had so much testing to work with. We will learn more as time teaches us . He called much of it theory.?
Loop Quantum.., Exclusion Principle applies to Gravity.
Whatever the situation was that divorced Math and Physics, Philosophical Bergson and Relativist Einstein, that was/is the Temporal Superposition Evaluation, String Theoretical Calculus analysis, and the Measurement Problem situation in QM-TIMESPACE Actuality, here-now-forever.
-----
For example, dead-alive before-afterlife continuous singularity-vanishing "pointness" of 1-0 probability No-thing forever.., is an alternative dualistic name-label for Newtonian Fluxion Calculus Conception, that is, of hyperfluid No-thing in Infinity/Eternity time-timing sync-duration identification.
You can not say Newton saw the Universe as unchanging except for the Big Picture we are still having the Measurement Problem with.., although specific analysis of the Semantic self-defining meaning of quantitative un-change would identify the AM-FM emitter-receiver aspect of phase-locked pure relative motion condensed in coherence-cohesion, ..the logarithmic temporal vector condensation of holographic point-positioning.., geometrically point-line-circle time-timing Singularity-point.., be-cause inside-outside location-reciprocation.., temporal POV. (Easy fixed?)
Check Edward Dowdye for a proper explanation of why this measurement is consistent with the supposed prediction of GR. You actually don't need GR for it's explanation at all. The most important fact is to check wether the bending occours all around the object (Sun) and not just in proximity to its surface. If it bends only near the surface (like in the case of our Sun) then GR is completely inconsistent with that. Same goes for the images of stars orbiting the supposed black hole in the center of a gallaxy. No g-lensing to be seen there at all.
The theory (GR) agrees with the observation(a lot of them not only what shown in the video). if it explains what we see, then the theory correct and so far GR is the king in science.
( passed all tests!)
@@chenlevy3773 If you checked Dr. Dowdye or thoroughly read my comment, than you would know that neither of us deny the consistency between GR's prediction for the Sun and the actual result.
What is the issue (in the case of Sun specifically) is that the measurements have been made only for the "surface atmosphere" so to speak or rather more precisely described as the plasma limb of the Sun. If GR is to be completely consistent then the bending of the light should be seen all around the Sun and it should be continuous, not just inside its plasma limb. But the latter is the case, therefore it is only natural to use a much simpler explanation of refraction within a medium with a gradient of its refractive index (classical electrodynamics for plasma) and you will (as Dr. Dowdye shows) arrive at the exact same expression as GR proposes.
Therefore this experiment is at best inconclusive towards the validity of GR or a disproof of it at the worst.
Regarding the correctness of a theory, from what I've gathered about the scientific method, it allows you to progress from a hypothesis to theory under two conditions: 1) you have to have an INTERNAL LOGICAL CONSISTENCY and 2) the PREDICTIONS of the hypothesis MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL CURRENT OBSERVATIONS. Then the hypothesis can be regarded as a theory.
The most important thing to remember is that there is no mention of validity or correctness of the hypothesis anywhere. When you think about it for a while, there is a quite simple reason for it: "We don't know what we don't know." Because of that, we can never be absolutely sure if we got the "right" answer and therefore can never absolutely decide whether a theory is proven correct. We can only absolutely disprove it.
Is this Vox now?
Even after a 100 years people can't understand his theories.You may understand it in theory or you can solve all the questions if your textbook but deep down there remains a gut feeling that "man this is impossible"
People understand is pritty well

lensing do to gravitational distortion of space time . moon is nearly perfect size and distance. have a nice day.
I have a theory and I am working on it.
amd i preparing a Nobel for you.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
It's amazing, almost too much of a coincidence, that the Moon is the perfect size and distance from Earth to perfectly cover the sun. ( most of the time) and its not the size of an object that bends light but the mass.
How did they know the real position of the stars in first place if they always watch them from the Earth?. If they had had Hubble telescope to watch them away from Earth, then they could have known the real position. There’s something I’m loosing.

Hmmm. Yeth, yeth indeed. Didn't know Mike Tython wath a narrator
I hope we can get a gravitational lense telescope in my lifetime.
Einstein's eclipse? What color car? 😎🧐👍
Then why Newton is taught in school books?
His equations are still accurate and useful in environments with constant gravity, like Earth. They only fail at truly massive scales.
@@TheJaredtheJaredlong if something is not absolute then i guess it looses its credibility.
@@supratim17roy it's no that simple. Because it works in small scales is better and easier to give an introduction on the subject using Newton's while still getting results accurate enough. Them if you actually need to go deeper in this concepts over you career the required knowledge will be provided to you. But you already understand the basic concept because you got an introduction with an easier usecase and technique
I did not want to choose the wrong road and travel it well i was ducked off to dodge bullets getting ahead is my only have utincils from my position
I can sense at the end of this video the host is reallyyyy trying to throw the idea in there that dark matter having mass and that being the source of gravity or something along those lines is where it’s at we just gotta figure out how.
"All our perception is all illusion."
That's my theory.

@gary22898 it's just a theory
Y'all a bunch of idiots people
This mind boggeling. So armed with this info black holes have more gravity than the sun so thats why light from stars are bended on the edged of a black hole. Space time is curved more than it is near the sun there?

For myself Einstein is the Saint Albert Einstein, that revealed some Devine laws of nature and physics.

Meanwhile, people are creating memes and they are proud of it.
Any scientist will tell you art and science go hand in hand.
I'm not a scientist, but I think that gravity does not bend light. Gravity bends spacetime, and light travels through spacetime in a straight line. Light appears to 'bend', but from the POV of the light itself, it travels in a straight line.
Greg Scott gravity doesn’t bend it. The warped space acts as a lens that distorts the light traveling from behind the object.
@@sure1073 I get it; there's a difference between the lensing effect and the gravitational effect. I just offered an opinion about the gravity/bending idea.
lol its eclipse, still im in majority
Do not compare Newton and Einstein.
