13:30 In terms of simple elastic interactions, the line of time is not possible to determine. This is indeterminate as an effect even on the macro level, in microgravity; it doesn’t have to be on a quantum or atomic level. For a video of a ball hitting a wall or another ball in a space station (a simple, perfect elastic interaction), in isolation of other more complex events, it will be impossible to determine if it’s going forwards or backwards. The keys to determining time are gravity and entropy.

Staying stationary in Space is just as difficult as in Time.
Well you can do it if you ignore all the known motions that happen (like rotation of Earth around its axis, around the Sun, rotation of the Sun in Milky way, Milky Way travel in our galaxy cluster, our motion to the mysterious Great Attractor…) and only look at the walls around you, but I’m not sure if that’s very scientific.
We actually often do similar ignoring of time despite that we very well know it still runs.
For example when we communicate or react to other stimuli around us we’re used to think it happens instantaneously.
But we know that we take time to react even when we do it asap and without thinking.
But we can’t really feel the delay of perceiving things. To our brain they just happen instantaneously when we perceive them, but in-fact that’s the end of the perceiving process, which also takes time.
Also we like to pause Time when thinking about something, no matter if it’s a scientific, engineering or social or personal concept … we often imagine what happens in a specific moment in Time, despite that it takes us a looong time to even imagine it.
So while we like to think that we can be stationary in Space and Time, we actually can’t do it in either.

12:38 to disentangle rather than to reentangle. Well, setting paths subject to observation they will probabilisticly distribute into a density at the aperage of the gauge of the eigenfunction. Obviously syntactic equations develop a tendency to increase entropy. Imagine a tendency to lower entropy, that would mean the gauge would be precisely and chirped into a unique distribution and the energy carried would be higher than the set of initial conditions. It’s not a clear statement that entropy increase is the unvoluntary presentation conditions of a substitute of an averaging derivate to fully synthesize a period equivalency.

A question about the Einstein Clock:
I understand the Math explaining the Time delay – that’s rather simple.
But I wonder about such clock being possible at all, and specifically the properties of light (or photons).
What I mean is that light is wave and it has momentum in the direction of its propagation.
But in the moving mirrors clock we assume that a photon shot straight up (when stationary) would actually move diagonally when the whole clock is moving (and would even change it’s lateral acceleration together with the acceleration of the clock itself).
What I mean is how do we know that a massless photon that only has momentum in the direction of its propagation would move (and accelerate) sideways together with moving (and accelerating) clock?
Ie how do we know that the photon won’t try to travel the “stationary” vertical line and basically fall behind the moving clock?
But then again if that’s not possible how the observed time dilation of radioactive elements getting longer half-life when moving closer to the speed of light works?

One thing all of us have to be more careful is to stop trying to explain things with our description of the thing.
Yes very often that’s all we have – a description (for example Time is what we measure by Clocks). But description is by definition very subjective and only valid in specific context
What I mean is that descriptions we’ve made are bothering with how that thing manifests (in our experience) and how could we eventually predict it, but it rarely explains how it works.
It’s the same story with the statistical description of Entropy and its description of Time. It states certain probabilities but no specific mechanism to why it works that way, and as in the case with statistical Entropy it sometimes opens doors to what we consider to be impossible (for example unlikely decrease in Entropy in some area, which if we take the statistical Entropy description of Time too seriously would mean that in that area Time ran backwards for at least short while).
It’s the same story with statements like “This is a thing that must obey these equations”, well that’s wrong – even if our equations are somehow perfect the logic is reversed – our equations describe Reality, but Reality doesn’t care about obeying our descriptions.
For example one could be tempted (and probably many actually were) to say in the past that Gravity must obey Newton’s equations, which would be fine most of the time (as long as we don’t pay attention to direction of causality and these equations produce correct results) … but then a planet like Mercury for example might “suddenly” decide to disobey those equations and orbit the Sun slightly differently.
So who was wrong? Newton or Mercury? 🙂
The trouble with saying things like “must obey these equations” or “is what we measure by these devices” is that automatically close the doors to explaining that respective thing.
And thus reducing the chances (or making it much more difficult) for someone to discover something new in that field as it has all been measured and must obey … you get it 🙂

Suppose the 2nd clock is not moving horizontally, but vertically, in the same direction of that beam of light. What would be expected to be shown is, the distance of the up going beam is longer, but the distance of the down going beam is shorter. I have not dive deep into this setting but I feel the difference for the 2 way distances would cancel each other out, and thus makes these kind of examples / drawings / explanations not valid.

The “limit” is NOT the speed of light. We know that the instant the universe was created, the “big bang”, particles were traveling faster than the speed of light. We also know that the edges of the universe are expanding at a rate FASTER than the speed of light. Pretending light speed is the limit is an insult to science.

Until level 3 his presentation was packed with useful equations, mathematical insights into the structure of spacetime, but then his presentation took a nosedive into very abstract and less useful information. All his talk of entropy and compactified dimensions don’t belong in this talk and should be substituted with better conceptual dialogue centered on the mathematics and physics of time.

What is entropy or disorder without a memory(a thought in the present) or a measurement(this is also just the present where we give concept to it and relate it to the “past” that our brains create) and what we call the present to contrast those against. There is no past or future.. and what one might think is that it leaves only the present but without the idea of past and future in relation to the present, the idea of the present also loses its meaning.. all time is abolished.

If we travel Through a wormhole to the past then will it not be violating the law of conservation of mass?

Matter cannot be created or destroyed. The sum of matter and energy should be same in the universe. Maybe we go back in time as virtual particle combination

One question I always have is, we know there is a limit to speed (see c), and we know you simply cannot exceed this speed since it is inexorably linked with time. But what is the limit to time? As in, what is the fastest time can tick? Are we experiencing time at its ‘fastest’ on Earth? Or does all our motion around the solar system, local group, galaxy, etc. have a relativistic effect on the time we experience?

The reason for the arrow of time is that time is caused by an oscillation backwards and forwards. Then the time-antisymmetric components cancel, and the time symmetric components amplify, which is why the laws of physics are time symmetric. Reversing time does nothing, because time (as we know it) is already a synthesis of forwards and backwards time. Think of it as a palindrome that you write by starting at the centre, and copying everything on either side. That’s why it’s always necessarily going to be palindromic.

do we really need to travel to the past if just by looking at stars we are already looking at the past? The fact of existence in our current position is the past of everything else around us. To physically live the past we should contemplate the idea of using light to recreate matter (collect as much light as possible and make the photos real). Btw, time is change in reference to other changes.

I had to wait (actually, I skipped through) right until the end, to begin getting somewhere. So maybe we can’t violate causality, because causality violates us instead. But does causality exist at all? Why would it? The only evidence we have, is our memories of the past, and the fleeting present moment.
A minute ago we could’ve been octopi, and a minute in the future we could be waterfalls: We wouldn’t know any different. Our memories would change as the world does/did/will.

Oh dear. Such utter, utter confusion. How does science get Time so wrong? Let me help you ‘nail it down’. Time is NOT complex. It is PROFOUNDLY SIMPLE. It can be explained / described in a paragraph. For some reason You, science, maths and philosophy just can’t see it. Hence the nonsense. Yet the evidence is ubiquitous.
We think we perceive time passing, we think we experience time passing; but look around you, we ACTUALLY SEE change happening, we ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE change happening (we age because of complex bio-chemical change). Quintillions of change events happening all around us. Undeniable ubiquitous, profoundly simple evidence (note: motion, i.e. changing spatial position, being a subset of change).
We don’t ‘move’ in time, we CHANGE in time. We move in space because ‘movement’ is a spatial reference!! Time is NOT a spatial dimension!
And change is reference frame specific. There is no universal, absolute, single, ill-defined, Time ‘thing’. No evidence of it whatsoever.
The ONLY evidence of ‘time passing’ is Change-events / change-series happening. Academic rule no.1 look at the evidence. This evidence is overwhelming, ubiquitous and profoundly simple. The Universe expands, the Earth spins, tides turn, life breathes, atoms vibrate, photons flash etc etc. All change events, change series. Everywhere. Ubiquitous, undeniable change.
Then define your terms. Academic rule no. two. The word time has TWO distinct core uses (and you NEVER differentiate), both reference the underlying reality of Change, and both are abstract:-
a. The collective ‘flow’ of change-events. A collective noun. Like Traffic is the non-specific collection of cars, Time is the non-specific collection of change events happening. Evidenced all around us. The ‘River’ or ‘flow’ of Time’ is actually the ‘river’ or ‘flow’ of quintillions of change-events happening. This is undeniable, surely
b. We calibrate change rate using Time (‘per hour’) and we index change-events using Time (dates, clocks etc). Time is evidentially a mental framework (i.e. Dimension) for calibrating and indexing change (events and rate). Also undeniable.
The word Time has two distinct meanings…you never differentiate them, hence your confusion. Both are abstract, and both reference the underlying reality of change and change-events. Time is abstract, change is real. Change includes the subset of changing spatial position i.e. motion.
There is NO evidence that Time is real. NONE. Collective nouns and mental models/dimensions are abstracts.
It matters because you think of Time as a universal, singular, ill-defined ‘thing’ – despite there being NO evidence for it (other than change happening).
It is not. Change (events) are the fundamental. And change is NOT universal, it is REFERENCE-FRAME SPECIFIC. Not one universal arrow of Time, but quintillions of ARROWS OF CHANGE. Isolated quantum change-events can be ‘time reversible’…but multiple sequentially dependent, unsynchronised converging change streams aren’t (hence you can’t unscramble an egg). Nothing to do with properties of Time. All to do with properties of Change.
So, Time, one word, two distinct definitions, both abstract, both reference the reality of change and change-events. And all change is caused by energy differential. Time causes nothing…it is nothing. Simple.
And by the way, take Space (the dimension of relative spatial position, i.e. the xyz-axis) and merge with Time (the dimension of change) and you get Spacetime – the dimension of changing spatial position aka motion
I hope this helps http://www.time-defined.com

time does not exist. Show me time on the periodic table of elements. What humans call time is just a measurement of speed based on one of the following. the Earths rotation or Orbit, the speed of light or the atomic decomposition of an atom. Time is just an abstract concept of the human mind. In reality it does not exist.

Works if time ACTUALLY exists, but there is NOTHING outside of your brain. Math uses it as a sequence marker, and that don’t make it a real dimension. THINK: Dimensions 1 and 2 don’t exist on their own without math, so what are you doing? It is a belief system, and this guy is sensationalizing the paradigm to make it harder to see the problem. He’s not looking for problems.

He could have explained to the high school student that these formulas are already being used with GPS. Time dilation has to be factored in. If it wasn’t, the accuracy would become worse and worse. Since the satellites are moving at a significantly higher speed than the ground units, the clocks on the satellites are programmed to measure time more at a slower pace so that they can stay in unison with ground receivers. If they weren’t set to factor the difference in, then each day GPS measurements would grow less accurate, as the difference between the ground clocks and the orbiting clocks increased.
*** I see he got to it with the college student.

I don’t buy Dr. Greene’s explanation at 22:00 that to a moving observer the two beams of light will not hit them at the same time in the donut universe. I believe that in Brian’s “non-moving” frame of reference, he would observe that the two beams don’t hit the moving observer at the same time, but the moving observer would be justified in declaring his frame of reference to be non-moving and he would experience both beams of light hitting himself at the same time. He would think Brian is the one who is in motion. Neither one of them can point to the edges of the donut and say, “See, I’m not moving with respect to that edge, so I’m really the stationary one.” Both would of them would each measure the speed of light as the constant “c”. Therefore, there is no preferred frame of reference, nor does it make sense to declare everyone’s motion except Brian’s as being “real” motion. Real with respect to what? I see nothing in the description that makes Brian’s frame of reference as special and non-moving.

The coherence of an idea only makes sense insofar as it resonates where you are present. Where or when you are present and it does not resonate the idea breaks down: its coherency is questioned.
Coherency can never be objective. Because no theory is both necessary and sufficient. Only consciousness is ever objective. Theory is subjective. Time was never a “thing in itself” as all conscious things are. Time is a “relationship”. A relationship between consciousness and ignorance. “Its” coherency changes with experience. That change is held together only by prior expectation. Once something unexpected happens: once experience contradicts expectation, time is dismissed or re-evaluated.

Okay wait i have a question. If i am in a spaceship moving faster than speed of light the fuel indicator in my spaceship should remain still by that logic because light can’t reach it. But my fiel is still burning alright? Since my fiel is burning even if I’m faster than light that would mean change in fuel quantity is unrelated to the speed of light. And since that’s the case, can i say that time isn’t uniform and light speeds up change(time). Can i also say that time is irrelative to light and since humans only have concept of time in presence of light the change on earth they’ve observed is affected by light. Can i also then say that time is different for objects and humans? Or can i say that time outside of light let’s say universal time is different than time observed inside of light?

The only thing he should have emphasised in the time clock derivation is the assumption that light is the same speed no matter how fast the reference frame is moving. That is assumed by the wave equation that appears in Maxwell’s equation. For years after Maxwell’s equations, scientists assumed the wave travelled in a medium called ether. Scientists tried in many ways to detect the change in speed of light by changing the direction of light measurements given that we are in a reference frame traveling through space. However, scientists found that no matter that the Earth is hurling through space, the speed of light is measured the same speed in every direction. So the best conclusion is that the speed of light is constant no matter the speed of the light source. That’s essential to state and explain in the derivation. Einstein was bold enough to imagine and claim that space and/or time must be changing to explain this odd behavior of a (light) wave. All other known waves (except gravitational waves which were measured in 2015) have a medium where the speed of the wave depends on the speed of the medium it passes through. That was a bold move in his time. I’m sure it sounded preposterous to most scientists of the day.

The moment that Einstein showed that time happens different depending of velocity and gravety, the concept of time itself don’t have much sense anymore.

So what were Michelson and Morley trying to do? Cause that was, ya know, before Einstein. And for that matter, how did Minkowski come up with those same equations (at least, the real ones involving time dilation rather than some banal e=mc^2 that barely appears anywhere) well before Einstein?
One last question… why is 1/sqrt(ε_0 μ_0) a constant? Why does that quantity just naturally appear in Maxwell’s equations? I don’t need to be Einstein to derive it. I need to be just slightly more educated than the teen Brian is talking to.
But I’m sure you’ve got all the answers, you appear to be an expert after all.

Third, saying that everything after the big bang is degradation is a form of observation, another way would be that the big bang started the evolution of all things in our observable universe, where all things form and reform over time, constantly rearranging their particles of matter, and not degrading, but rather transforming.

Where does the perceived concept of Time come:-
Summers were longer when you were young? At 2 years a year is half your life when you’re 50 it’s a 50th of your life a year seems to go quicker.
When you exercise really hard the last few seconds of an exercise can last ages, and a given time of relaxation seems to fly by.
When taking your thought processes to the limit time passes quickly, which is why racing drivers at the highest level are young. Even musicians the more you are in tune with what is going on the more time you have between individual moments.

Time is not real. Something which does not have beginning does not have ending. Time would have been real if there was a beginning. And please dont say big bang was beginning. Because even for big bang it is necessary for something to exist before that.

Time-
Time was invented in earth by humans to organize their daily lives or routines and we made a tool called CLOCK
It’s just measurement of earth’s rotation movement around sun
Sun rise day sun set dawn and then complete night
depends on season/geography in different parts of the world clock shows time differently
Can you travel in past – No
Why ? Grandpa paradox
Can you travel in future – we don’t know but my gut is telling me may be not
Scenarios and outstanding question-
If there’s a spacecraft traveling at speed of light, leaves earth today and come back after 2000 earth years,
What will be age of travelers in that spacecrafts compare to earth years ?
All living beings born, decay and die on earth. Cells of their body will eventually decay and organs in their body will eventually get tired and stop working resulting death. It’s Mother Nature’s law of earth
Is that law going to apply on travelers in that space craft too because they are also living beings. If they are traveling at speed of light will it apply slowly?
But again spacecraft travelers are not coming to future of earth. They are coming after 2000 earth years which will be present state of earth. New humans, animals, insects, plants, trees, or who knows humans mess around with nuclear bombs and destroyed all living beings
For travelers it may look future for them because they were at speed of light but speed of light is their current state

Would I be wrong in saying that we could define time as the progression of a reaction, whether that be the chemical reactions, physical interactions between celetial bodies, etc. If you think about something like aging, we associate that with the passage of time, but really all it is is a progression of chemical reactions within the body… Let me know what you think 🙂

I,m mechanical engineer not theoretical physicist but time explanation is made so mysterious. Time is matter process indicator . If we take distance , space they are immaterial emptyness infinity continuum where our universe exists. So if we throw ball it travels distance in certain speed. Then we describe time by physics definition t= s/v where s distance v is speed that describes ball travel. Both distance and speed are immaterial that gives time for physics as well immaterial. So time is matter process interval. Time have only one way ticket and past see astronomers . If we take special relativity there are no way to bend two immaterials such time and distance. Good luck guys.

I value any and all conversations on how understandable and non esoteric they are at conclusion. I have to say that initially I got lost a few times but when it came down to the final conversation I had more comprehension. THANK YOU. This was very illuminating and also comforting to me. I was very very ill in the hospital a couple of years ago and came to terms with one of the concepts you discussed of being amazed that I existed in this time and space and given the life I had been given, upon being told when I went into surgery that I may not come out of it alive , I felt at peace and just fine with it in my own right, although not so for any stress and sadness my family would feel. Ultimately, I experienced a speed up and slow down of time in that very moment. I had only moments before I would be taken into emergency surgery and infinitum to value all I had had, been and connected to. I guess that sounds very hocus pocus and unscientific at best, but listening to this discussion made me realize it probably had more to do with science than I realized.

But if the “light clock” is moving, and its time measurement is longer than the stationary clock, does it really mean the time is going slower while in movement, or simply the clock’s capacity to measure time is affected by the movement while the time is going at the same pace?

Now I’m just the average joe here but I love contemplating the hypothetical of if you can travel to the future does that make or mean that future is fixed? This is based on the fact if we find a way to travel to the future without the speed of light where in a way I like to explain it as we’re taken out of space while everyone lives in the space slowly. Thought of this my first physics class in highschool where they explained to use we see in the past.

You have it backwards. Remember that it is the observer who’s stationary that sees the light moving along the longer diagonal. So T_S = 2D/c (we multiply by 2 because the light beam hits the second mirror after travelling a distance D, and then it has to go back to the first mirror, so the total distance is 2D). T_S is the time taken relative to the observer who’s stationary, and it is he who sees that light travels a distance 2D. Likewise, T_M = 2L/c. Dividing these equations, you get the expression D/L.

The most interesting question I’ve always had that I’ve really been unable to answer about time is this: Explain time without using terms that require the existence of time to make sense. For example, if you use the word “change”, a change inherently requires the passage of time. It is incredibly difficult to try to explain what time is without using terms like this.

Consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE. (Notice the associated black “space” of WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE, AS BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand.) WHAT IS E=MC2 is gravity. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE !! TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Accordingly, ON BALANCE, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. INDEED, consider what is the fully illuminated AND setting/WHITE MOON ON BALANCE; AS it IS the SAME SIZE as what is THE EYE. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE. INDEED, consider, ON BALANCE, why and how it is that there is something instead of nothing. Great. LOOK at what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE !!(THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE.) Consider what is the ORANGE AND setting Sun. Magnificent. Notice that, ON BALANCE, the curvature or shape of WHAT IS THE MOON matches that of WHAT IS THE EARTH/GROUND. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. INDEED, consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE. NOW, consider what is THE SUN along WITH the fact that the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. A given PLANET (including WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal area in equal TIME. Great. WHAT IS E=MC2 IS WHAT IS GRAVITY (ON/IN BALANCE). Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE !! INDEED, consider, ON BALANCE, why and how it is that there is something instead of nothing. Great. Consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE. c squared CLEARLY represents a dimension of SPACE (ON BALANCE). Magnificent. I have CLEARLY proven and explained what is the fourth dimension. WHAT IS GRAVITY is, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked. Great.

Look, if all atoms somehow rearranged into the same exact position they were in 3 days ago, would that be time travel?… or would it be a change in space? As I see it, this is only time travel if you insist on being an external observer to these changes, if not then theres is no time travel, no time, just changes in space.

I like Brian, but a bit of advice for anyone explaining this to a teenager in 5 minutes: The long mathematical proof he went on was needlessly complex, and could have been much simpler. It started out well, but by the end he used a more complex equation than needed. A simple example, he didn’t have to sine and cosign. It’s layer of abstraction that’s fine later, but he introduced way too much, too quickly for that teenager, and they were clearly just watching him scribble chalk on a board by the end. And I bet he would agree if you asked him. Too much, too quickly. It’s almost like for every age he wants to ensure they are impressed and confused.

Concerning the billiard ball example, or really any physics-breaking scenario – why would disruption an action like that matter? You’d be altering an object’s trajectory in time (light path or whatever it’s called) but why does that matter? Why is changing an outcome like that important at all – even if spacetime was broken to make it happen?

So if you want to move fast you’ll have to find a way to move space through space or relative to other space, but not objects speeds or times relative to eachother, because the energy required to move space is actually just technically difficult, but resourcefully easy. Hence time travel being a little more complicated than space travel. Not that engines don’t exist that would be able to do both, but the likelihood is that without extremely precise mathematics of higher dimensions, that as a person moves through spaces and times they’ll enter different possibility/probability vortices and end up somewhere uninhabited by their fellow sentients.

The Grad student discussion finally addressed something that’s been bothering me for a very long time. Whenever we say someone approaches the speed of light, we say they would age slower relative to someone who was not traveling. But if everything is relative, wouldn’t the person NOT traveling be actually traveling near the speed of light relative to the person traveling? One of them ages faster than the other. So indeed their MUST be a preferred frame of reference in this universe. I kept wondering why no one talks about that, and something must be wrong with my thinking. But finally I hear someone address it with the laser/doughnut discussion here. Interesting.

With space and time being connected, I think the “arrow” of time is connected to the expansion of the universe – time flows forwards as the universe expands, and for time to flow backwards, the universe would need to shrink back to the big bang

I think these videos would be even more interesting if as the levels of difficulty increased, the speakers would stop speaking to the audience. I want to see exactly how experts in their field talk about this subject. Not how they would talk on a panel at some science communication event. I want to be blown away by feeling like I dont have any idea of what they are talking about, be given a taste of how tough this stuff really is. I am a PhD student studying applied math, and the most complicated terms they used were, topology, compactification, and Hausdorff. I should be starting to lose touch with the topic around the graduate level, and be totally lost at the expert level. Dont hold back!

It’s too bad they didn’t get into the perception of time based on the speed of the heart and other factors. Creatures with fast heart beats will regard their environments moving at slower speeds than those creatures with slower heartbeats (hummingbirds can’t watch cartoons, etc.), larger creatures will typically move and react at slower periods of time than smaller creatures (human vs mosquito), and plants are so slow-moving that they’re essentially exhaling during the day and inhaling at night (which brings new meaning to the Ents’ argument in “The Lord of the Rings”). The addition of drugs like adrenaline can help speed the beats of the heart, allowing for heightened reflexes and the perception of a “slow-motion” effect. Video games and films, which emulate real life, have instituted “bullet time” since the late 90’s (“The Matrix”, “Max Payne”, “Hitman”, etc.) in which audience members/players will experience a time-slowing effect that gets triggered for heightened effects, and sometimes, a jarring change of pace. I would have liked the 6th Level of Difficulty: Dr. Brian Greene explaining time to a hummingbird.

May 27, 2023 at 10:35 am
I believe that is why 18 is a year in “time” , in 5 different numbers in time we have decided what is called an ADULT! It is true and real and paradoxical to think that is why someone is called a minor. Even more difficult is that these things are not really difficult to understand so as we do basic things like ex. problem solve, we should resolve our issues as close to the truth as we can. And the TRUTH –what does that have to do with measurements, time, motion, movent, even math? I believe it has more to do with quality of life and world wars that we really can live a better life but only through problem resolution and now what psychological cycle offers us the best statistical possibility of that? Monarchy ? communism? dictatorship? democracy? because inside of the laws of physics is the ability to make these laws real, to use these =s to move in time to a better understanding and quality of life…..what if we lived in LIES – and these =s for gravity were wrong and the speed of light was wrong or the law of motion was a wrong theorem ????????? it = the IQ of the masses..scary

I think people, mountains, planets, galaxies, it’s a minor organization of small particles – and at the particle level time doesn’t exist. So it doesn’t matter if the earth goes around the sun. They’re just atoms and molecules moving around. Time is important to people. Elementary particles don’t care about “time”.

This video was great, I learned a lot however I’m struggling to understand the step explained at the 6:50 time stamp;
“More time on the stationary because it’s longer distance on the moving clock”
If we are trying to get the ratio of Stationary time over Moving Time, why then did we use the distance D over distance L? Shouldn’t we be using the distance L over D?
Can anyone please help clarify this to me?

In order to go back in time you would have to essentially reverse the big bang. Planets are moving through space in a linear fashion. So you can leave a planet and return and it has continued it’s linear path. In order to go back in time you would have to reverse the linear path.
DuckOnABike

This makes me think that once the universe expands too far like an elastic band it goes back through time to a singular point and the big bang repeats.. what if time moved back and forth repeatedly.

So if Ts = 2L/C
And Tm = 2D/C
Then shouldn’t be the ratio of Ts/Tm = L/D ???

Right, so here’s a thought that I, as a complete layman, have entertained for some time now and is somewhat similar to the thought experiment he suggests, where time is circular and you send a laser out to your left and right and then slightly move to the left.
If we replace the laser with ‘the image of yourself’, which is possible because space is circular, remember, so it should be possible to actually see ourselves if we look into space, hypothetically.
Now, if everything happens instantaneously, it’s like looking in a mirror, but what if in that very instant I moved to the left of my original position and that light that suddenly had to traverse a smaller amount of space, would reach me sooner due to my change in position, would that mean that I was practically looking into my past?
Consecutively, assuming that it would indeed mean such a thing, can we assume that “I” my “self” has already left that moment I would be looking back at, and would have travelled with me to that new position?
I ‘feel’ that it would. At that moment it would be like I was looking at a picture of myself. It would be me, but it would no longer contain my ‘self’.
What does that say about the ‘speed’ of our consciousness, our self, our soul (forgive the unscientific terminology ;)?
Could it be that it is faster even than the speed of light?
Or could it be that maybe our consciousness is inherently timeless?
Sorry to ramble. I’m by no means scientifically trained or schooled, but this is a question that has been bugging me for years and this video prompted me to revisit it.

There is no such thing as time-dilation concerning GPS clocks. Mechanical clocks measure motion through space. Ground based and satellite based clocks are simply measuring two different rates of motion.

There is a problem with Brian’s geometric explanation: it doesn’t take into account the time it takes for that same “diagonal” light between mirrors to hit our eyes to actually observe it going diagonally (and thus observe one clock going faster than the other). For some odd reason physicists omit this in deriving the Lorentz equation.
Another issue which goes all the way back to Einstein’s paper: he assumes that there is a clock which measures “t” and something called distance “X”. But the existence of both are disputable (just use Ayahuasca!) and it leads to a circular argument: we assume smth (x) and (t) and then come up with a formula that states that they are “one” thing called spacetime (x,t).
I asked my old professor at Uni (I am a physicist btw) who didn’t have an answer and pointed me to philosopher Henri Bergson who seemed to argue same. So let’s just be careful in believing we are closer to truth… in the end we’re all just trying to make sense of our own senses.

Wait, time on the stationary clock over time on the moving should be small number over larger number; but then you say it equals D/L which is big number over smaller number??? So, isn’t that backwards? I think Einstein is really saying they are equal, due to time dilation and length contraction isn’t he?

Green cannot help himself no Academic Public Purse Parasites can.
EPISTEMOLOGY: the theory of knowledge, especially with regard to its methods, validity, and scope, and the distinction between justified belief and opinion.
• A Liar: Someone who knows their statement is unsubstantiated – false.
• An Idiot: Someone who cannot grasp fundamental reality.
• A Charlatan: Someone who opens his mouth, pushes out phrases; and says absolutely nothing.
Green is a Liar and a Charlatan!!
When your calculations cannot proceed when pushing theory with no experimental hypothesis testing apparatus, all you need to do is CONCOCT a non-reality such as SpaceTime, which CANNOT be either ‘fundamentally defined’ or shown to be true, because time itself does not exist, travel, elapse or move, contrary to Green’s lies.
And to push your permanently-tenured-retirement APPP career further, all you have to do is invent another concocted inexplicable concept to explain SpaceTime; which also CANNOT be either ‘fundamentally defined’ or shown to be true, these charlatans and liars call it the 4th Dimension!! It’s a Good Little Earner!
The Catholics did it in 325AD at the First Council of Nicea when the alleged god theory failed, so they concocted The ‘BlessedTrinity’, & why the Life of Brian was a mass hit!
Inexplicable SpaceTime = Inexplicable god and Inexplicable BlessedTrinity = Inexplicable 4th Dimension, cool numerology, note the reliance on numbers 4th and trinity to confound those too stupid to question charlatan numerology the belief in an occult, divine or mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events.

A clock isnt time. Time is an absolute it never changes or can be changed. When you hear anyone speak on time it always ends with an observation of time or the speed of a ticking clock, but actual time hasnt changed. when he speaks of the light bouncing off of a surface and bouncing back but then speeding it up and making the light longer. light has nothing to do with time. you can lengthen a lights time by speed of a surface, if you speed the surface up to faster then light then the light will bend backwards but it doesnt mean time will reverse, if it did then the experiments would reverse into itself.

I don’t think you can prevent free travel to the past. You may be able to view the past informationally. We may just find that even though we go to the past, the moment we change it too much, we simply cease to exist in that state and the particles bounce back to their original state. But you can probably view all past events due to a clever use of entanglement and special relativity and artificial intelligence.

I feel like I just watched a video that is pretty clear on why there is an arrow to time. It had to do with entropy and why that works the way it does. Something like, things that are more likely to be are more likely to be. And that’s why we see certain things happen and not others. That’s why an egg can fall onto the ground and smash, but you’ll never see a smashed egg just reform and fly up off the floor.

Time is the effect of motion and not the cause of motion, slower motion allows for more “time”, this is reflected in a journey tacking longer at low speeds, it is the same for the versa. So then if that is the case, how can gravity be time moving us through curved space, when motion comes before time? There must be something else moving us through said space, allowing for the exsistence of “time” 🤔

Shouldn’t it be T_m/T_s in the Teen level? Since 2L is the distance covered by the photon to measure a unit of time in the stationary clock, wouldn’t T_s = 2L/c? Similarly, T_m = 2D/c. I think this also makes more sense, since as time increases for the clock in motion, it’s perceived to be slower. More time = slower. I don’t know though, the idea is still more or less the same, just wanted to check

You are an idiot.
1- Humans observations are along the line of sight observations
2- Earth’s axial rotation (wheel = 2 π) alters observations by the sum of (a wheel + a wave) = (2 π + 7.640395578).
Classical astronomers accounted for the (wheel = 2 π) and missed the (wave 7.640395578). The error (wave 7.640395578) / (wheel = 2 π). Classical astronomers Aphelion-Perihelion (1/2 cycle) method of measurements = [(wave 7.640395578) / (wheel = 2 π)]/2 = ½ the error that produced the theology called the enlightened solar system data. Modern astronomers found the other [(wave 7.640395578) /2 π]/2 = ½ error = Modern Nobel winners’ Relativistic 4D space-time astronomy.

Something has been troubling me since I watched this video. What is a clock in physics because I guess it’s not the actual clock he means if not we would’ve been able to control time with them. So what is a clock in physics

In this vedio we had talked about entropy which is one of the most key thing in the disorder of space..and thus we observe changes in space(assuming a constant time traveling at speed of light)..but when travel sufficient distances in space we see that there is change in time(provided we travelled back to the same point in space)..my question is, is there anything of a property like entropy which also acts on time?
