How Does Gravity Warp the Flow of Time?

12th - Higher Ed
There’s a deep connection between gravity and time - gravitational fields seem to slow the pace of time in what we call gravitational time dilation. And today we’ll explore the origin of this effect. And ultimately, we’ll use what we...

When Is Now?

12th - Higher Ed
When is now? Seems like a pretty simple question… just look at your watch. But do you and I share the same “now”? Let’s journey from Einstein’s thought experiments about relativity to cutting edge neuroscience research to try and answer...

General Relativity Explained in 7 Levels of Difficulty

12th - Higher Ed
This video covers the General theory of Relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, from basic simple levels (it's gravity, curved space) through to the concepts of how curved spacetime is represented by psuedo-Riemannian manifolds with...

Complete Solution To The Twins Paradox

12th - Higher Ed
This video is about the famous 'Twins paradox' of special relativity, how time can appear to be faster for two different observers at the same time, and which twin really is older (or younger) - the one who stays on earth or the one who...

Length Contraction and Time Dilation | Special Relativity Ch. 5

12th - Higher Ed
This video is chapter 5 in my series on special relativity, and it covers how things that are moving (that is, moving relative to an inertial reference frame) at different speeds appear to be shorter in length... and longer in length....

Spacetime

12th - Higher Ed
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the dimensions of space and time are combined in relativistic mechanics. Gravity and velocity can affect both space and time according to Albert Einstein's Special Law of Relativity.

Special Relativity: Crash Course Physics

12th - Higher Ed
So we've all heard of relativity, right? But... what is relativity? And how does it relate to light? And motion? In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini talks to us about perspective, observation, and how relativity is REALLY weird!

Does Time Exist, Or Is It A Social Construct?

Pre-K - Higher Ed
Research shows that the human brain does not have a single clock dedicated to measuring time that passes. Our experience of time depends on many factors, including memories, emotions, and our level of attention. Time seems to ‘fly’ when...

What Would Happen If You Traveled At The Speed of Light?

Pre-K - Higher Ed
If you travel at the speed of light, your mass will increase exponentially. The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second (186,000 miles per second). When you move at this speed, your mass will become infinite. Therefore, infinite...
