Slowing The Speed of Light Down To 2 m/s-What Special Relativity Feels Like
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 08. 2020
- In this video I show you what it would look like to slow the speed of light down to around walking speed. So with just walking around town you would experience relativistic effects. I talk about time dilation and length contraction and what it would look like to have it happen to you. Get the simulation created by MIT here: gamelab.mit.edu/games/a-slower...

*Interesting note:* Even Einstein was mistaken on length contraction. He had said that a sphere would look like an ellipsoid. However, Penrose later proved that a sphere would still be spherical, although rotated. Notice in the simulation how the spheres are the only objects that don't look distorted when moving at near light speeds!
Nicely explained 👍👍
Haah, nice try, you still aren't getting my liver.
I thought Einstein was always right.

"The only downside in being faster than light, is that you must live in the darkness"
-Sonic Capable Hedgehog
Heh
@Blue Silver or can you, convert to pure energy and then convert back
So... You're faster than light?
You can only live in total darkness if you start travelling during the Big Bang... Otherwise, it'll be a long time before you get to the edge / boundary of light... and then you'll be living in darkness.
@@muhammadtahaali614 latom
when you sarcasm is too advanced
The problem of moving faster than light, is that you can only live in Darkness
Here's one way to understand why things seem to get farther/longer at high speeds:
Normally your eyes only catch light coming from a certain direction in front of you. But as you go faster, your eyes can catch up and intercept light that would normally be outside your file of view.
So imagine that your eye is a bucket with its opening facing forward, and light photons are pellets being fired all around you. At rest, the only pellets that can enter the bucket are the ones in front. But if you move fast enough, you can outpace pellets that are traveling sideways, or even ones that are coming from an angle behind you, so your bucket can catch more pellets from a wider angle.
If we go back to thinking about light: this is why the camera seems to zoom out when moving forward. Your eyes can now catch light coming from angles to the side, or even behind you.
This is a good explanation.
Underrated comment
This is really good example,,,,,
Wow, you made a great analogy
brilliant
For understanding the Doppler effect in real life, I use sound - for example, when riding on a train and going past crossing bells at speed, or if a vehicle with sirens goes past, et cetera. The pitch audibly changes between coming towards you and going away.
You can also use it in smaller examples: for instance, if you want to test a dog wistle, all it takes is for you to ride a bike away from it and you will start hearing it. It's also when an ambulanse is near you, you hear it loud and high-pitched, but as it passes you sound gets quieter and lower.
"If you want to live longer you have to move more"
Turtles: Are you challenging me?
It's relative 😀
Yoo man most realistic and challenging comments
Even the turtles move but A Banyan tree never, yet it lives much longer
@Prince Kashyap what if the banyan tree moves, but it moves the earth along with it?
Everything depends, i think that comment he made was misused. Like the guy said above here, trees doesn't move, yet that there are ones that live hundreds of years, turtles are another good example, there are athletes that die young from any reason, so everything DEPENDS
This explains why when you drink a speed potion or sprint in Minecraft your screen zooms out.
It's the same in some other games too. For example Goat Simulator, When you have a suger rush your screen zooms out a whole lot.
and when you use /effect to give yourself speed 255, you screen becomes extremely distorted.
TBH it's more about mimicking the effect stimulants do to you.
Holy ducking shit
Ha, I wish. It's really because a change in FOV presents an illusion of moving faster. If you disable that effect, you can see that speed potions or even sprinting just aren't all that fast-seeming without the FOV change.
I would be terrible at moving close to the speed of light... I got terribly seasick/motion-sick watching the video.. Really informative and amazingly interesting topic. Thank you for uploading it, I like the way you can explain hard to grasp concepts in a digestible manner

@@TjallieBrrr probably? 😰
I once played a game about a velocirraptor that changed the speed of light to 3m/s and it was really interesting. It explained weird relativistic effects, but in a third person camera. You could do cool things like keeping a powerup more time than you should or passing between fast moving platforms with time dillation, slipping between really close bullets, moving so that two different coloured objects appear the same to you because of Doppler effect, etc.
Nice video!

Your videos are excellent. And you explain difficult concepts in a way that makes it easier to understand. You are the best!
“ if you’re moving close to the speed of light it appears as if you can get from point a to point b faster than normal” ...well yeah
The point is, your speed actually stays the same, only the light slows down.
You actually take the same amount of time to move from A to B no matter what the speed of light is. But it does not appear so from your perspective.
Its relativistic space time dilation, not increased velocity. Remember, he is always moving at 2 meters per second throughout the whole game. He is decelerating light, not accelerating himself. So the contraction of space creates an acceleration like effect where distances that took 5 seconds to travel start to take 4 seconds then 3 seconds, so on so forth. The space between himself and his destination is contracting as the speed limit of the universe decreases, bending the rules of relativity into a more observable state.
@@g59enjoyer48 I was making a joke but that’s actually helpful

Ye
The "stretching out" part perfectly explains what happens to the stars in "warp speed" in sci fi movies like Star Wars. The stars get "stretched" to thin lines outside the ship's windows.
I always thought they got length contraction wrong when I saw this effect, but it turns out they were right all along!
Hyperspace and warp speed are totally wrong.
At warp 10 it would take just under half a year to get to the nearest star.
All the stars in the sky would bunch up, moving forwards, none being seen out the rear windows or side-rear windows. All the stars would be in side windows or in front windows.
And they would all be either red or blue, except a few that were shining into your side windows, which would still be white..
But, keep in mind, the stars in your side windows had just bunched up, and had been behind-and-to-the-side just before you hit the hyperdrive button.
So, the only white stars would be the ones you are traveling away from at a very specific angle. And only that angle.
Warp speed was in Star TREK
You said WARS
Interestingly, if you lived on planet far away from Earth, and then moved with speeds near speed of light or even faster¹, you'd feel like you're time-warping into the future, and if you did the exact opposite and looked at Earth, it would appear to you you moved back in time.
@@MultiPleaser "At warp 10 it would take just under half a year to get to the nearest star". Warp 10 in Star Trek does NOT mean 10 times the speed of light. Most trekkies say that warp 10 translates to 1000 times the speed of light. Around 36 hours to the nearest star.
Thanks for the breakdown 😎🤙 really helped me wrap my mind around the ideas alittle better
I appreciate the info about the Terrell effect - thanks! You just helped make a novel I'm working on more realistic :)
This guy is literally showing the things that I've always wanted to know but never knew cause I thought I'm dumb.

Lol yeah Vsauce is also really good at that. I kinda thought and knew about some things Michael says and i was mind blown when i found out i was right but i found they were questions many people asked
You're not dumb. The only dumb person is the one who has no desire to learn!
@@Jay_in_Japan people who aren't able to speak are also dumb 😏
@@Jay_in_Japan Truest thing I've heard in a bit, dumb people don't value knowledge, which that itself, is quite dumb.
So... the artistic vision of hyperspeed in sci-fi movies was actually true ? This is mind blowing.
Yeah I was so surprised he didn’t just show the millennium falcon just travel through space, seeing all the stars turn into white lines in a tunnel. Quick and easy way to visualize that effect.
Yeah or the uss enterprise, my mind was blown that all of that was an accurate representation of light speed
tbh i think the effect in movies represents motion blur
Actually, all sci fi movies have it totally wrong, epecially Star Trek and Star Wars.
Firstly, you would rarely pass a star. The space ships never travel very far at all.
Secondly, all the stars would move forwards, towards the direction of travel. They would bunch up, with none behind you.. And they would all change to blue or red, except for the few stars whose light is coming from a slight angle from the side, those would stay white.
The sky would just sit there for many years not changing yntil you reached the closest star, about 3 months after you hit the "warp speed" button, or went into hyperspace.
Boring-ass movie, though.
@@MultiPleaser "The space ships never travel very far at all"
Have to consider fiction part of sci fi.
Considering if spaceship does move that quick that it reaches stars. How would it change?
I really appreciate your brilliant explanation! This simulation helped me a lot, and has so much value for physics education!
That last bit made me think about that feeling of vertigo you get in dreams; you know, when you try to run forward, but the thing in front of you goes away. And then I start thinking about how in a dream, years can pass within the six hours of a night's sleep. Kinda sounds like time dilation to me. What if people already subconsciously know how time dilation and the speed of light work
Nah, it's more because our brain doesn't actually know how much time passes, the "life" you live there is hella shortened, you won't have those 18 years of school and 60 of work where everyday you wake up and all that shit, it "feel" like a lifetime, kinda how playing for 4 hours could feel like 2 and studying for half an hour could feel like 3 hours
Dreams are just false memories, though. So don't think of it as a representation of reality, think of it as a representation of memory recall.
@@entiretotalityofwhateverexists yea, its not like it happens exactly the way time would dilate. its rather random
@@gandalf8216 Actually, dreams are modifying the algorithm in your brain and doing probability checks like a neural net.
@@gandalf8216 dreams are not false memories. They are simulated realities that help consolidate real memories and create real memories of these simulated experiences too. They can become more "false" in the process of dream memory recollection after waking up, but that's another thing.

@@nowaayy_ In a comic, flash can go 300 trillions of time the speed of light but that's without taking into acount space contraction. He would still go at atleast 99,99999999999... % of the speed of light though.

So if i was standing 1 meter away from a mirror, would i see myself one second in the past?
i don't know, no one have try it before
@@Gus_Fringus Yeah, i think they should try it..
Yes, with speed of light at 2 m/s, even a mirror would have one second latency when viewed from 1 meter away. However, assuming the universe works according to the same rules otherwise, your brain would have equally high latency so you wouldn't notice it.
@@MikkoRantalainen ok thanks for the info. One more thing, when we look at the Sun, aren't we seeing it in the past? I mean the Sun is so far away from Earth that it takes 8 minutes and 30 seconds for light to reach us. So does that mean we are looking the Sun 8 minutes and 30 seconds in the past? If this is true, then everything we are seeing is in the past right? Even if it is 0.001 seconds?
@@pinkpanther1139 Yes, the light that comes from the sun was emitted over 8 minutes ago. The distance from the Earth to the Sun is not constant so the delay changes a bit over a year. Most of the things are close enough to your eyes that the time delay due speed of light is not meaningful compared to your senses and brain performance.
Definitely going to check out this game. Great video! Great channel!

I love this game! They showed it to us in high school science class years ago. Never thought I'd see it on CZcams.
Length contraction is something happening in coordinate frames. But if we look at something, the speed of light and the distances come into the game. Let's say two events happen at the same time at different distances. Coordinates (t,x,y,z) will tell that these two happened simultaneously, but not our eyes. Further will be seen later than the closer one. Nice video!
This game is more difficult to understand than the actual principle in physics.

Fantastic video. Could you do one discussing the non-0visual impacts of traveling at the speed of light. Everything here was about what our perception would be when traveling close to the speed of light but what lese happens when closing in on the speed of light that's not about perception?
This just shows how weird our universe could act
Has mushrooms
So that is why stars look like lines in Star Wars through hyperspace 😯
Exactly
And also in Doraemon 😅
It's a lie in star wars. If you could move near at the speed of light in space, stars would not look like lines, because they are too far from you. But when you get closer to a star like we are relatively close to Sun, maybe you would feel this effect I think.
Imagine if there was a slight miscalculation in the jet’s system and they crash into a planet at the speed of light

For some reason..this is actually scary to experience..
When nearing the speed of light,
1. What you see is not real
2. what you hear is not real
3. what you feel is not real (electric impulse transfer rate in our body is also near to light speed)
4. The time your body experiences is not real.
What is real, is "you" at that moment.
When you think about it carefully, doesn't it sounds like limit to the processing power of a "simulation"?
Dark Shade the world is a matrix
Just go fast as fuck and you'll survive the game.
You nailed it!
No, everything is still as real as it can get, you're just not used to the way you perceive reality in that case
Also what you feel is just the same
AMAZING VIDEO ❤️❤️
for video gamers, length contraction can easily be explained by taking the example of video game fov.. As in real life the screen size of monitor is fixed but by changing the fov in game we can see more objects and artifacts on same screen size.. for example on higher fov the movement gets faster than lower fov its gets slower.. but for game code and monitor perspective its constant.. same logic is applied in this simulation to give the length contraction effect
for not so much gamers,
fov- in game field of view
mostly used in first person perspective games

Great Video!
This is the only channel, i have seen in whole youtube.which talks and illustrates about these interesting things . Seriously !!!
Another example of the Doppler effect is when you are by a race track, the cars driving really fast as they go towards you, you can hear the engines at a higher pitch. Then, when they drive past you, the sound gets lower. Because the racecar is closer to the speed of sound, the same applies to light
Oh shit you're right!
It's because the sound waves get shorter as the car approaches so it sounds higher (the sound is the same length from the car's perspective but from yours it gets higher because more sound waves keep hitting you so it appears to be higher) and they get longer as it moves away so it sounds lower
I wonder if it's possible to have a "photonic boom" similar to a sonic boom but with an object going at the speed of light instead of sound
@@jbh759 i wonder how we'd ever observe something like that, since anything that travels at c must be massless.
You don't need to be going very fast to hear a Doppler shift--can be done biking past a church bell.

@@whi2gan It will probably look like flash but literally destroying the surroundings wherever he goes
this explains why when they use the warp drive in star wars the stars suddenly zoom out.
This explains why when you drink a speed potion or sprint in Minecraft your screen zooms out.
Lol that’s the first thing I thought too
Enjoyed very much ✨❤️✨
This is so cool!
What parents think we watch: fun silly videos
What we actually watch:
Oh really

This is very useful for visual learning. I’ve always wanted to be able to experience lightspeed ever since I saw it in Star Wars. Really cool.
Length contraction occurs only along the line of travel - only in one dimension of space - while the other two dimensions are unaffected. That is why it looks like a wide angle lens/fisheye[stretched](looking forward) and telephoto/zoom[collapsed](looking backward). Imagine approaching the speed of light in all 3 spatial dimensions - an expanding sphere... The surface of which is C^2. The thickness of the spherical shell is a given mass. As the sphere expands the shell becomes thinner & thinner as mc^2 is constant. In other words you are expanded at c^2 & converted into pure energy - pure light! I've always wondered what is happening to the radius of said expanding sphere. Is the rate at which the radius is expanding reducing over time? Does the rate of the size of the radius converge on a limit? Is that gravity? The integral of the surface area of a sphere is 8*Pi*r (from 4*Pi*r^2) - so over time 8*Pi*g*T... (where r is replaced by g) Unreferenced general relativity[sketchy in my memory].
Objects are rotated 90deg because Time and light are oriented 90deg from the other 3 spatial dimensions(which are each themselves 90deg to each other). As V approaches C then the angle moves from 0 to 90 ...sqrt[1-(V/C)^2]... a simplified portion of the Lorentz transform that acts like a tangent to the angle... and is 0 for length contraction & undefined (1/0) for time dilation when v=c. I see it as the escape velocity of the 4d space-time. It fits well on the surface of a sphere...
At v=c the tangent at 90deg then escapes the boundaries of 4d space-time - one spatial dimension(direction of travel) becomes 0 while time reaches eternity. I analogize it to a disc of whole space[in 2d] at all time - infinite - appearing like a vinyl record or CD/DVD. To 'play' reality in 4d is the stylus in the record groove or laser reading the DVD back. One can see the whole of eternity on a disc but can only experience 4d space-time at vc creates a 4d space-time inversion(singularity at v=c then inverse expansion to [4d]' or inverse space-time [space-time]').
Is there an inversion velocity that makes v=0 look like v=c? That is, is there a velocity v where |v|
Thanks! 😉
