  • A quick look at spherical geometry in 2 and 3 dimensions and why it looks so unusual. This is part 2 of my Hyperbolica Devlog series, and both geometries will be in the game. I promise I'll get to some actual game development stuff in the next video!

    This reminds me of the Russian sci-fi novel "The Inhabited Island" (1969, a.k.a. "Prisoners of Power) by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (who also wrote "Roadside Picnic," on which Andrei Tarkovsky's sci-fi masterpiece movie "Stalker" was based). In this book, a cosmonaut lands on a planet where atmospheric refraction of some sort (it's not explained) causes an illusion where the land bends upwards in the distance, making it so there is no horizon. The inhabitants believe they live on the inside of a hollow sphere with a "world light" at the center, and find the idea that they live on the outside of a sphere and that there are other planets to be incomprehensible. Of course, this isn't a curvature of space itself, as in this video, but in the book the metaphorical implications (of a closed society and insular ideology) are what's important.

      @razi_man Před 2 lety +15

      I think that is kind of overthinking. The thing that would be interesting would be: How would they react to moving in eucledian space? Since in spherical space, objects will experience a squishing tidal force as they move through space. They would freak out since their brains would evolve to being able to tell they are moving through said tidal force, meaning that in eucledian geometry, they have no way of telling if they are moving through space or not, this would simpky be normal for un eucledian dwellers.

      @@qaasi95 Not quite, the issue is defining shapes in weird coordinate systems.
      'The formal definition of a circle is "The locus of all points equidistant from a fixed point called the center." To translate, that means all points (an infinite number) that are the same distance from the center.' (credit to google) Looking at the map, you can absolutely identify a point that is at the exact center of the fence (where the fence is about halfway up the wall all around). Thus, it is a circle.
      However, it is undeniably straight within the coordinate system, making it a line, so you aren't wrong there.
      But the Equator is also a line if you look straight down it as well as a circle centered on, well, the center of the earth, so there's no reason that I can see that it can't be both a line and a circle. (Although technically it would be a line segment at most because it does not extend infinitely, as evidenced by the fact that if you were to make a marking and follow the fence, you would eventually return to the marked spot and the fence is thereby not infinitely long)

      No kidding. This is so freaky, so alien, it's the stuff of nightmares. I remember seeing distortions like this when looking through the curved glass of tanks at the aquarium and how unsettling it was. Also, much more recently, when playing Psychonauts, there's a small part when fighting the lungfish where if you go up to the edge of the battle area (the wall of water), the water hands appear to keep you from going outside the boundary. However, when you move away, they too move away--but instead of getting smaller, they get _bigger._ I don't think it was meant to be creepy, but somehow, the idea of something getting bigger as it gets farther just freaks me out. No wonder Lovecraft referred to strange geometries so much.

      The world we live on is by definition non-Euclidean all parallel straight lines eventually converge
      In Euclidean space triangles always have an interior angle of 180° and only one corner can be 90° or more
      On earth starting from the equator heading north to the north pole turning 90° going back down towards the equator and returning to your point of origin you have created a triangle with three 90° angles

This is why when we travel in a "straight line" on the earth, we're actually curving around the surface, and it is visibly a curve. In true spherical space, you could travel in a straight line, but then if you moved perpendicular to it, it would appear curved--even though it would actually be straight.

      @securitycountercheck you can deal with the singularity (which is more accurately referred to as the "north pole" not the "center", thinking of the 2d example) by just having the gravity decrease to zero as you get closer to it (which is what would actually happen in such a universe) Of course the camera might need to flip abruptly, but you can solve that by having the camera be free when the gravity is low enough

    • @LCTesla
      @LCTesla Před 3 lety +6

      @securitycountercheck @securitycountercheck if there is no ground, you could look in any direction to see the other pole. also you would see past it and see your own pole again, with you projected massively on it (inside-out in every visible direction). even weirder is that, ignoring the gravity generated by the floor, every point on the map IS a "pole" and has a corresponding opposite pole.
      an interesting thought experiment would be to imagine the floor as a translucent membrane. at the gravitational poles (on both sides), the floor looks like a sphere. at the floor itself, it looks like a plane. now imagine it with two such membranes crossing each other perpendicularly... at the point they cross, both are planes, but there is also a point where one is a sphere and one is a plane.

And if the size of your perception relative to the size of the spherical universe was small enough to begin with, you wouldn't even notice a difference. It's entirely within conception that our universe actually is spherical...just very, very large (although cosmological evidence points against it currently).

      Elliptic projective space works as well. It also has only one side, and you can move along a straight line to mirror invert the landscape and its inhabitants (or equivalently inverting yourself). At least it works for the elliptic 2d plane, in elliptic 3d space, i suppose things are merely flipped upside down when you return.

There are various forms of LOCALLY MINKOWSKY curved isotropic geometries also, in 2 and 3 dimensions. Like the 2d plane i like to call the Dual Hyperbolic plane, of indefinite signature and constant negative curvature, shaped like a torus. Or its quotient space with the topology of a Moebius band, which is in perfect 1 to 1 correspondence with the Hyperbolic plane, when interchanging points and lines, and interchanging squared distances, and squared sines of angles with each other.
      Going to higher dimensions than 3, there are more "flat" base geometries than Euclidean and Minkowsky.

      Yes! Even in higher-dimensional spheres such as the 3-sphere, every direction is described not by an extending coordinate, but by a periodic angle. In particular, there is a geodesic ("straight line") that starts and ends in your head. However, since the 3-sphere has finite volume, your enjoyment of seeing your back would not last long since any reliable source of light steadily fills the world with energy, and everything would melt or burn after some time

    • @nicholasmitchell6025
      @nicholasmitchell6025 Před 3 lety +17

      the corona formed by a black hole is just the light that reaches your eye. A large proportion of the light just falls thru the event horizon. Black holes don't really bend light around themselves, they just drag light towards them, and the rays that happen to be travelling tangentially to the event horizon go into orbit. It's a bit like saying the Sun bends the solar system and solar debris around itself, v strange wording.
      The analogy is interesting though, because a black hole is an extreme "tightening" distortion of space, so from the outside "looking in" the geometry would appear spherical. Falling in, the very edge of the hole would represent a greater distortion, the dot of space opposite you magnified to infinity, while the infinity of space shrinks to a pinprick behind you. Cool!

    • @altrag
      @altrag Před 3 lety +4

      It would be similar. Its what you would see if you could stand exactly at the event horizon and watch the light beams exactly circling around -- neither falling in nor escaping. Oh, and only for a non-rotating black hole with no charge.
      Of course none of that is plausible in the real universe:
      - You'd be spaghettified by tidal effects long before you got to the event horizon, never mind being able to stand on it/
      - Quantum mechanics means the photons in those those light beams would eventually fall in or escape due to uncertainty (and new photons would join the party from wherever in space they originated.)
      - Uncharged black holes are expected to be the norm (and we've so far never observed a charged one.) The universe as a whole has (essentially) zero net charge and there's little reason to believe a black hole would have a charge bias as it accumulates its mass. So that one wouldn't really be a problem. Phew!
      - Non-rotation is much less likely though. I mean I guess on the absolutely grandest of scales, angular momentum should be zero (unless we want to assume that whatever caused the big bang had some pre-existing angular momentum that it fed into the early universe!) But angular momentum is a vector quantity (unlike charge which is a scalar) and the chances that the accumulated material all has angular momentum that exactly adds to zero is vanishingly small. AFAIK, we've never observed a non-rotating black hole in nature.

    • @alexanderm5728
      @alexanderm5728 Před 3 lety +5

      @@nicholasmitchell6025 Just a minor point: Rays that travel tangentially to the event horizon don't go into orbit, they go into the black hole. Photons can orbit around the photon sphere, 1.5 times farther out than the Schwarzschild radius/event horizon.
      Also, I think it's pretty reasonable to say that 'black holes bend light around themselves'. It's very close to the technical explanation, that is, that black holes (and other massive objects, for that matter) warp spacetime so that null geodesics go around the object in space.

    • @nicholasmitchell6025
      @nicholasmitchell6025 Před 3 lety +3

      @Alexander M You're right! Tangential was a misnomer. But for your second point it's all a matter of perspective. This is more of a semantic concern, but I don't think it's accurate to say a black hole bends light around itself because it isn't an active pursuit. Black holes distort spacetime and a passive result of that is the "bending of light" (more of a straight line path in this curved space!).
      Saying that light is pulled towards them was completely wrong, though, it's not appropriate to use Newtonian physics in a discussion about black holes (lol). Probably should have looked that one over, it was late at night though. Thanks for pointing that out
