    I just watched your entire general relatively series and have never had such a strong understanding of the material. You also addressed how a 5th dimension is not needed to address gravity in your better general relativity model, which had been nagging my understanding of that concept for a long time. I have so far yet to go but feel invigorated to press forward thanks to you. I noticed you've been using the same song on every video for the last several years.

    I think it's worth mentioning that two identical objects moving in curved space-time with the same starting point will follow different geodesics depending on their initial speed.
    I mean, it's kind of obvious that objects thrown at different speeds will end up in different places, but it also seems really counter-intuitive that your "forward" direction depends on what speed you have. In space, the forward direction that you see with your eyes, which is actually a direction of a light-speed geodesic, is different from the forward direction you are moving.

    • @ScienceClicEN
      @ScienceClicEN  Před 2 lety +4

      Exactly, that's a good thing to keep in mind : geodesics are not straight lines in space, but in spacetime. Hence not only they depend on your initial direction in space, but also your initial direction in time (i.e. your initial speed).

    • @ergyst
      @ergyst Před 2 lety

      Isn’t that because No two objects, identical or not can be in the same starting point at the same time in space, so would have to follow a different geodesic. Basically no two objects can ever have the same starting point or be in the same place, so isn’t it a given that it’s going to follow a different geodesic because it will be in a slightly different position.

If we all were taught that the "straight line" that Newton talks about is (spatially) what is being curved by gravity people would probably have a better understanding what is going on. Explaining the time dimension would then be a little be easier.

    Metrics *do not* give you a grid as represented, tangent spaces do.
    Metric just gives you a scalar product of vectors in tangent spaces, which can differ at each point of a manifold. And as you presented in a video - in case of immerged manifolds and induced metrics - this has a perfect meaning of distances on a sphere.

    • @ScienceClicEN
      @ScienceClicEN  Před 2 lety +3

      The grid does lie in the tangent space, but it is not given solely by it but by the metric. With this "grid" I was referring to normal coordinates, which are derived from the metric, and which are a way to define local cartesian coordinates on the tangent space, and hence allow one to measure lengths and angles with the standard Pythagorean theorem (or Minkowski metric for spacetime). But yes technically the metric is a scalar product on tangent spaces, I didn't want to go in too much technicalities in this videos, my point was mainly to say that the metric is what allows us to measures distances and angles.

    “…when an apple falls off a tree from a previously motionless state….”
    **technically speaking** the apple hanging from the tree was subject to a force and therefore already in motion.
    “…it is because the curvature of spacetime bends the geodesics between time and space…”
    Well again, **technically** the apple wasn’t on a geodesic to begin with; being held up by the tree meant it was subject to geodesic deviation. There isn’t also really spacetime curvature in this small of a region. The ground is just an accelerated observer; the geodesic paths on his/her spacetime diagram appear to be bending as a consequence of that acceleration. (For there to be spacetime curvature in the vicinity, the distance between geodesics on the spacetime diagram would have to be changing - but even the down-diving lines maintain regular spacing.) However that statement does apply in the global sense, since without curved spacetime there wouldn’t be the gravitational force there to begin with.
    It’s very encouraging and inspiring to see videos of this quality and caliber out there - please keep it up!

      Thanks! Yes you are completely right, this video was actually made in 2018, if I had remade it recently I might have changed some of the formulations

    Please just let the animation of the apple get to the ground. Everything is so perfect, just add a little more time to some of these satisfying animations. People love watching satisfying stuff.

    What a coincidence, I wad reading about this topic yesterday as I'm reading a book by Kip Thorne. Thank you for a clear explanation, I learned so much on this channel 😃
