Today is a personal best - I managed to follow along for 90 seconds before my brain threw in the towel.
Best buy explanation I've seen in a short video. Great imagery and science! Thank you!
"It's 2am, I'll just watch something calm and relaxing to help me fall asleep." Instead I was foolish enough to watch a physics video that melted my brain.
The animation team should get an Emmy nomination.
Paused to watch -Can we break the universe?-, Paused THAT to watch -The Geometry of Causality-, How deep will this rabbit hole go? [edit: Thanks for the likes]
You underestimate how much of my life I spend in a horizontal position.
Blast! A physics cliffhanger! Now I'll have to sit on the edge of my seat until the next episode!
Thank you for revisiting this, Matt! What got me hooked on PBS Space Time was that series of videos on E=Mc^2 presented by Gabe, and I watched those many times. Your approach is very helpful and interesting.
I'm not actually late, thats just the curvature of time professor.
This topic warps the flow of my brain.
Of all physics topics I've been exposed to in my life, time dilation has always been the most fascinating to me.
"Right now, your butt is ticking faster than your head. Don't give me the motivation to change that." -Some space cowboy that just wants to drink in peace.
“But first I need to give you a refresher on regular time dilation” Yeah don’t bother I won’t understand that either
All this science, blows my mind. I find it fascinating. I truly wish I had the brain power to process all this information.
I just wrote up this long comment about how I've never understood how the photon clock generalizes to other orientations and then to prove my point I turned the clock on its side (i.e. parallel to motion) and did the math and found that it still works out. You win this time Einstein...
Another GREAT episode. PBS Space Time is like a really good long term stock. You guys rock! Thanks you!!! Still my favorite YT channel.
EmDrive at 1:05 ha ha ha good one
"You're held in your chair because your butt is ticking faster that your head." A classic line if I ever heard one :)
I wish I could understand this better. My brain governor hits a wall well before I do.
