  • I came here thinking it was about Doctor Who time vortex LOL

  • i like call of duty black ops u suck bro

  • I'm afraid of disturbing the gyro's spin axe by watching to this video... ;)

  • How does this prove the connection of space and time? Couldn't it be just gravitational forces of earth and its rotation on the gyros?

  • @TheLackofattack Your right it isn't the best example of space time being warped. We actually know space time is warped because time moves slower here on Earth than it does in space. In fact we have to send a time correction to GPS sattellites in order to compensate. Timing is everything with GPS and even being .01 second off will make a GPS error of 60+milies and that makes GPS useless. The military figured this out when they first sent out GPS satellites. That's an easier example

  • Guys, Google with " Vortex Double spiral waves black holes" you my find aome interesting and exciting stuff on these matters there.

    Best,

    Yehiel

  • gotcha..

    

  • If I give you a free pizza, will you bitch about its quality? No, because it was free anyway, just like this video and its information (yes taxes paid for it, but im sure your 3 pennies don't really matter that much).

  • ppl, stop turn your attention on narrator's voice... you all gays? or what?

    you should listen material about space.

  • TARDIS

  • Interessante Albert Einstein!

  • Who isn't incompatible with the ed system? Has it improved. Not one iota.

  • I knew it!

  • Wheres the Doctor? Doctor Who.

  • all scientist do nowa days is try to proove einstein wrong, cant they see it cant be done lol

  • isnt this just earths gravity and magnetic field creating this affect?

  • TO MAKE A STATEMENT SUCH AS ,THEY HAD TO FIND A WAY OF SHIELDING THE GYROS FROM EARTH'S GRAVITY ,WHILE IT IS AT THE EDGE OF ATMOSPHERE . WELL THEY'VE MISSED THEIR MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY , THAT ONE. COME ON WE AREN'T STUPID .TIME IS ONLY RELATIVE TO ITSELF, SPACE TIME IS STILL ONLY HOW MATTER VIEWS TIME AND IT'S EFFECTS ON IT. WE CAN'T GO TO THE FUTURE, BECAUSE IT ISN'T CREATED YET. TO GO BACK IN TIME WOULD NEED ALL THE ENERGY REFORMED SINCE THAT POINT. GIANFRANCO FRONZI .

  • I live in a space time continuum......it's called the internet

  • @highihigh its the virtual reality of cyber-space..

  • @IvanderHaisley hahahaha well said :)

  • I'm actually realizing what this is all about. (Not looking for any arguments here, folks, just putting out my opinion.)

    What we have is a 3D object making a 4D dimple (like a cueball on a sheet of fabric) in 3D space. ;)

  • I like Nikola Tesla's ether theory better, too bad Freemasons destroyed his lab and confiscated his research.

  • @kel0we It doesn't matter which one you'd prefer to be, the thing that matters is how they face experiments, and Einstein's did it better. All the precision tests of general relativity agree with the theory.

  • @drrobertoboogie97 Einstein's theories are only partially proven. We now know that electrons communicate faster than the speed of light...I do believe he was closer to a unified field theory than we think. Like Tesla said (paraphrased), " You can use math to prove whatever theories you want, I make my theories a reality." Unfortunately all of Tesla's substantive work was been hidden or destroyed by the oil tycoons and elites.

  • @kel0we You have no knowledge about that experiment. Physicists Cohen and Glashow proved in a paper that particles which travel faster than light would constantly emit particles, thereby losing energy. The OPERA team reported no detected loss of energy.

    What Tesla didn't know was that electromagnetism is 10^39 times stronger than gravity.

    Also, Gravity Probe B pretty much confirmed Einstein's theory.

  • @kel0we Also, there is no such thing as "The Establishment" or "elites" or "Illuminati". And no, I am not brainwashed. Tesla was an engineer and inventor and theoretical physics wasn't his best area. Grow out of these ridiculous conspiracy theories.

  • @drrobertoboogie97 Your assumptions of what I am talking about are ridiculous.I was referring to Quantum Entanglement and the EPR experiment. Whether you agree with Einstein or Tesla our modern understanding of the Universe and physics is still elementary at best. Also you may not be brainwashed but willful ignorance isnt much better. I never mentioned Illuminati, I am talking about the Freemasons look it up, Edison was one also along with almost every other person of power

  • @kel0we Yes but quantum entanglement has no relationship with the speed as which electrons interact. Electrons interact with photons which travel at the speed of light. I don't know where you saw they communicate faster than this? Entanglement is something else which explains that the state of a system of quantum particles (any particle respecting QM) exist whatever distance they are from each other. Speed of information between particles is not violated by the EPR experiment.

  • what will happen if we piss when we travel forward with velocity of light?? will it glow due to doplers effect..??

  • What a stupid model ! space is not two dimentional, flat area.So what that model actuallly is showing?

  • Just been given it some thought, its generally taken that everything has a source aka comes from somewhere so surly space-time came from somewhere? could it be that space & time are just two of many measuring systems to separate individual objects in different universes or something like that?

    It's very vague so I'm not going to develop it because that's assumptious, but anyone got any thought of where space-time came from? and what is beyond it?

  • See i dont really get this explanation of gravity... say you have a sun, the sun would would be a fat kid in the trampoline, little marbles (planets), if dropped, roll around the sun, sort of like planetary revolution. But how does this interact with things ON the marbles? Like why does every person, no matter were he/she is standing on the earth, still feel gravity? Even if the earth caused its own "dimple in the trampoline," why do we stay ON the earth? Not roll around it

  • seria muy bueno para los argentinos que doblarran al castellano los videos, por lo menos los de laNASA

  • seria muy bueno para los argentinos que doblarran al castellano los videos

  • francis everitt and albert einstin sort of look alike

  • @gcahn2 You are right. If some one would like to go through the imaginative, creative and fun part of what Einstein did, the best ever resource I have come across is "Relativity visualized" by Lewis Carroll Epstein.

  • This poor host sounds like he hasn't taken a good dump in a two weeks.

  • Is Dr Sbaitso the narrator?

  • why the constant feedback of "Einstein was right" all over the internet ?

  • @disaluan I'm not really sure what you mean, but researchers/scientists are just recently confirming a lot of his predictions just now, so people tend to be saying that a lot nowadays.

  • This guy sounds like caboose, i cant take him seriously XD

  • The Oahspe Bible says this and is from 1882 -

    BOOK OF COSMOGONY AND PROPHECY CH.I:2,5,8 says "The earth floateth in the midst of a vortex, the outer extremity of which is somewhat beyond the moon. The outer rim, forty-two thousand miles broad, of the Earth's vortex, the greater diameter of the vortex is east and west, the lesser diameter is north and south...At this age of the comet, it showeth nearly the configuration of it's own vortex; it's tail being the m'vortex'ya. If it appear to the....

  • i'm still confused about warped space time...what will hppen to one second, a minute or an hour of a clock if its warped?

  • @cruxader27 seem the same to the person next to it yet to a person farther away it may seem slower or faster(comparative) look up time dilation (i think)

  • How did they keep Earth's magnetic field from penetrating the spacecraft?

  • Ah, so that's what is meant by frame dragging!

  • The narrator should be replaced with a more lively one, this one is almost like a robot tbh.

  • @tkuzzz Yes, he has a real skill for making interesting things sound like he's reading a description of haemorrhoids off an autocue. I think Stephen Hawking's computer-voice manages to sound more engaged. :-P

    Seriously though, it's a problem of reading the text. He needs to rehearse it until it makes sense to him. It's a common problem with many people.

  • @tkuzzz His name is "Data"

  • @tkuzzz :) One of my favourite narrators. He has done a wonderful job @ science.nasa.gov!!!! Grrrrrr lol

  • @tkuzzz It's a professorial voice ;)

  • Space isn´t flat, so the dimple must be all around the earth, what does that look like then?

  • @bicnarok

    I imagine it like if you have a 3 dimensional grid... not flat but in all 3 dimensions..  the strings are pulled to the earth. from all sides..

  • @bicnarok It's curved in the 4th (spacial) dimension. You can't imagine it just like people can't imagine a 4d object.

  • @bicnarok Sorry, the curvature is in time, a temporal dimension. But it still deforms into 4 dimensions so it's impossible to imagine.

  • You wouldn't bet against that einstein fella....

  • If I-try I-can put a curve in the space-time continuum with a $20 bottle of Jack Daniels & half a G of good weed & in my dreams fly a sweet woman to the moon & back though the radiation from high energy particles would kill mere normal mortals & half what BBC employees in Bush House spent on cocaine ten years ago could fund a contract for Pixar Animated to do a manned Mars Mission this Sept' while the current cocaine budget in Capitol Hill in DC already likely found life on other planets.

  • Like This

  • what din't Einstein predict??? he made a formula and that formula is what every scientist today compared whatever to it. his name comes up with almost everything thats got to with space.

  • cool 

  • The Earth still spin. Right, What About Moon never spin, Why ?

  • @MrJohn1966elliott

    the moon spins too apparently.

  • @MrJohn1966elliott The moon does spin, but its rotation and revolution are the exact same (about 28 days) so we always see one side of it.

  • Oi Ellines eixan steilei gyro me ap' ola sto diasthma prin xilieties...

  • Why the heck do they always present these things with a 2D grid? Almost anybody with two eyes can see 3D. Star Trek II did a wonderful job of showing an energy cloud around an invader but our tax dollars can only buy a simple presentation designed for idiots?!? I know you all think your the smartest people to ever walk the Earth but give us a break... put some creativity into this stuff!

  • The discussion on dimensions is not accurate. Dimensions are just the variables it takes to locate things in space. Time is a variable that is needed to locate objects in special relativity. Not hard. Not hard to think about.

  • Ultimately, I think that it is very easy for any person to visual and observe reality in the so-called 4th dimension. Isn't the 4th dimension just time (space-time; cosmic-time; galatic time)? Let's say for instance I can visualize in my head a sphere, that means I can think in 3d. Now, if I imagine that the sphere is spinning... wouldn't that mean I have achieved thinking on a 4th dimensional plane? variables are too abstract. So here is concrete evidence that humans think in space time.

  • I've been looking at the "dimpled trampoline" graphic all my life, but it's begun to bother me as of late.

    Is it just a conceptual aid? I can't help but think the lines of distortion should resemble a twisted pucker embedded in foam rubber, instead of the classic distorted plane.

    Be gentle, I'm just a throwback Victorian dabbler.

  • @PRIVATEAYEIEYE Yeah, space time is not a flat surface, it's distorting it in all directions. Just a visual aid.

  • @JiffyNo0b OK...Good. Now doesn't the biggest cliche in SciFi, the wormhole, depend on the flat plane? I keep seeing scientists folding the old plane and saying, "TaDaaa! Wormhole!"

  • @PRIVATEAYEIEYE Yeah, here's where my knowledge is a little more lacking, but my understanding it is that it would be a bubble with no way to enter it.

  • @JiffyNo0b Demonstrations of how a wormhole might work depends on a flat plane but the wormhole itself doesn't. The demo shows a 2d plane curved in a third, independent dimension, a wormhole relies on three dimensional space (or 4D space-time) being curved through another dimension which we don't experience directly.

  • if all gravity does is warp space, then movement towards the mass shouldn't occur. All this explains is how something stays in orbit. What am I missing? Someone please reply, someone please help. This has been eating away at me for a week now.

  • @FritosAndMtDew When it warps space, it creates whats called a 'gravity well', which is kind of what that dip in the plane is. Anything that approaches the planet will drift towards it, similar to how an object getting near to the dip in the plane will roll into it.

  • @darkgrenchler But that doesn't explain why gravity works, you just said when it warps space, it creates a gravity well. That's like telling someone apples fall from trees. Why does it move towards it just because it bends space? And if space is nothing, how could something with no mass apply force?

  • @FritosAndMtDew I guess I didn't explain it fully. Masses attract other masses by the force of attraction, in ADDITION to warping spacetime. The more 'mass'-ive the object, the larger the force of attraction. Nobody knows WHY masses cause attraction, they just do. String theory states that there are things called Gravitons. The Higgs Boson (what the Large Hadron Collider is looking for) may also explain why masses attract eachother.

  • @darkgrenchler I thought the force of attraction was gravity, and that was what the warping of space-time was supposed to cause. If gravity doesn't pull things closer to each other, what is it?

  • @FritosAndMtDew Again, we don't know WHY masses attract eachother, or why masses can stretch and warp space as proven by observation. Einstein knew masses attracted other masses, but even he didn't know why they did it. If you looks up the 'Standard Model', it shows the 12 elementary particles (quarks, bosons and leptons), the missing one being the Higgs boson, which if found will determine how/why objects have mass. Gravitons are another theory but conflict Relativity with Quantum mechanics.

  • @FritosAndMtDew In addition, The thing thats so mind boggling annoying about gravity is that its has infinite reach. What kinda force can do that?! Gravity is definitely the easiest force to identify with, but the hardest one to figure out how it works.

  • @darkgrenchler Higgs Boson theory is a failure so far

  • Search up gravity in terms of space time

  • It's because the mass of that object not gravity is what bends space-time search up this video to learn more

  • what i dont get is how space bends. if someone sits on a trampoline, they bend the trampoline because earth's gravity wants to pull you through it. in space, there is no down... so why is space bending down?

    can someone explain this please?

  • Way to go Albert!

  • I feel the Vortex! I feel it pulling on my brain .

  • This s*it is not real!!! God (Allah) only knows when Earth ENDS!

  • @ThePivotloversable

    God (Allah) knows? Really? And how do you know (that)? Lets be honest here; the problem is that most likely you cant demonstrate such a thing. Yes?

  • @Wrath0fKhan Are you trying to insult Islam in a way or what? If you are then, f* you .If not(everyone is free to bealive what he wants).

  • @ThePivotloversable

    "Are you trying to insult Islam in a way or what"

    That aint necessary. Islam is self-insulting and apparently even self-refuting.

    "if you are"

    Then what? Youd better stop equivocating and start delivering the "goods" (I asked you to deliver). If you cant do that, look into a mirror and just do exactly - f*ck yourself.

  • @Wrath0fKhan i bet you anything that you're not any older than 15, 16..

  • @ThePivotloversable Have you conducted an experiment that demonstrates that there is no such vortex? Have you conducted an experiment that disproves relativity? Can you show us your data so that we might try to verify your findings?

  • Don't forget to put some Feta cheese on my gyro please.

  • Interesting, the only problem is that space isn´t a flat trampoline, so the dent must be centered on the earths core or not?

  • @bicnarok In the 3 spatial dimensions, you're right. Space is not a flat plane. But Space-time is an idea that exists in the 4th dimension. This makes it impossible to depict in a video or in some other form of viewing it in our 3 dimensions.

    Also, the idea that it is like a trampoline (or more commonly a bed sheet) is inaccurate to what space-time actually is. This idea is just an easy to understand analogy that represents the "fabric" of space-time. The "dent" is not in our 3 dimensions.

  • @MetalicAtheist If time exists that is, the 4th dimension.:) There are 3d mesh vids on here which show it, surely the only problem being the horizontal lines would go straight and wouldn´t bend. When you see pictures of black holes spewing rays out of each pole though, the flat version seems feasable. Maybe the magnetism has some effect on gravity after all, not just the mass warping it.

  • @bicnarok Yes. The dent is actually centered toward the center of mass, but its hard to perceive 3D space being 'pinched' from all directions

  • Could Quantum Physics represent a process that forms the passage of Time itself?

    This theory is based on just two postulates,

    1.The first is that the quantum wave particle function represents the forward passage of time itself photon by photon, quanta by quanta or moment by moment.

    2. The second is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle is the same uncertainty we have with any future event.

  • A note:

    I thought he already demonstrated that a Space-Time vortex forms around masses with the whole "Starlight bending around the moon during an eclipse" thing... In fact, that was the whole basis of his predictions. >.>

    Oh well.

    So THIS is the view from the shoulders of giants! :D

  • this guy kinda sounds like Jimmy from south park

  • Man science is AWESOME! And so is einstein. This is the coolest stuff i've ever hear!

  • This is amazing

  • Everet look alot like Einstein in my opinion. If this is true then a vast area of possibilities exist on earth.

  • "If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew."

    — Albert Einstein

  • @TODIALAS2012 love that

  • @TODIALAS2012

    I'm German and Einstein was a German Jew. To claim otherwise would be foolish. Einstein was born in Germany to German parents, and his ancestors had lived in Germany for centuries. To claim that he was an American is even more stupid.

    Nice try though...

  • "The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas."

    — Albert Einstein

  • RomaniaTricolor, that just means that the clock i your classroom was broken!

    I have the same question as legindyoll. Since there is no up or down, top nor bottom in space, which way does the distortion take place. Is it in the plane of the Earth's equator because of the rotation? Or is it toward the Earth's center because that's where the mass is?

  • LOL Francis Everitt actually looks like Instine!

  • One question I'm wondering is, in which plane does the vortex act, or does it act in all planes. If it does act in all planes, does that mean that the vortex is multi-dimensional?

  • @legindyoll I've only taken an undergraduate introduction course, so I'll try to explain from what I know. Space-time is 4-dimensional. Most humans can only visually imagine a 3-dimensional world. The mesh pictured in this animation is only 3-dimensional and does not "accurately" depict space-time. But yes, it is multi-dimensional. The vortex affects all four dimensions of space time (time, X, Y, Z).

  • LOOK YOU ALL FUCKERS, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN SCIENCE, GO TO HELL! ALRIGHT? NO-ONE CARES ABOUT YOU!!!

  • I'll take my Space-Time Vortex with mustard please Mr. Everitt.

    

  • Wow...it really IS all Timey-Wimey AND Wibbly-Wobbly!

  • To all the haters of science: Science is an evolution of thoughts. Knowing this to be true, keeps someone in the future from having to prove and therefore they can dedicate their time to advance thoughts and possibly come up with a useful application. At some point in the past someone made the comment " Great you made a resistor, now what?" Today everyone takes posting comments on the internet for granted

  • @kbinkley62307 What's a resistor do ?

  • I had to put this video in my favorites.

  • I did the same experiment in highschool with a magnifying glass eons ago. No billions dollars spendings. Conclusion: there is no such thing as time.

  • Comment removed

  • ok, and? they probably spend billions on this research... now we found out there's a vortex on the bottom of earth.... what now?

  • @00Yarko Ha! Hardly! They wish they had billions to spend on research but this experiment was a mere $750 million. Hardly a drop in the bucket compared to most government spending. When every device you use and depend on hasn't come from research like this, then you can complain about the price. But when excessive military spending does nothing more than kill our troops to police the globe, you of course criticize the noble research of trying to understand how our world works. Well played, sir.

  • The video explains only the general concept of experiment, but doesn’t explain the actual physics. The in-depth explanation of the physics is what I expect to see on this channel, but I suspect that the creators of this video don’t fully understand it themselves.

    What’s up with you NASA, are you still hiding the aliens?

  • @nutCaseBUTTERFLY dude....thay got a link to that so stop crying and saying thay dont understand it...

  • @nutCaseBUTTERFLY A 2min video won't be able to do the justice for the real physics. To understand General relativity you will need to take graduate-level math & physics courses, or if you are self-studying, you'll need to get a thorough understanding of Reimannian geometry, differential geometry, etc - something that will at least take 2-3 years to master if you are starting from school-level math. Science is difficult - all these scientists go through long & painful learning process.

  • @subh1

    Well said, sir

  • @subh1 Einstein wasn't very good with the math; he had to get help with it. He conceptualized and visualized the subject matter. The science he did was the creative and fun part that almost never gets taught. But it could and should be taught, beginning in grammer school. Kids have a natural curiosity and openess to this type of learning, but it is killed by adults saying they need to suffer the math first. This is backwards. Let them have fun first, then they will appreciate the hard math.

  • @gcahn2 Haha, that is the legend! Einstein was not good at math RELATIVELY speaking. He was actually very good but to develop general theory, which is a purely mathematical theory, it is true he needed Minkowsky to translate the ideas into a formal mathematical theory. But please, don't say Einstein was not good at math, it is said that at that time nobody else manipilate maxwell equations better than Einstein..

  • @douguette1 "Albert was the laziest dog and he never ever bothered at math." -Einstein's highschool math teacher.

    Somehow he had the ability to just visualize complex math realities. I think he had the mind of an artist or a poet. He seems to be that rare artist who computer scientists always refer to when talking about the "elegance" of a solution.

  • @MartianStories Yes but that is not because he did not care what he was taught at school he was bad in math. He knew algebra and real analysis at 12 years old. OK he was not Euler, Gauss or Galois in math, but he was definitely good in math, nobody can be bad in math and understand teh theory of general Relativity. Also you know Galois or Ramnudjan also rather failed in the standard educational system and are know to be among the greatest mathematicians that ever lived...

  • @douguette1 Some of what you say is true, there are those great mathematicians who were incompatible with their ed system. And Einstein was one.

    Before he was even allowed to become a Professor at an American Univ, after he had become famous, they insisted that he go back and start over studying math, and really get good at it. That was a requirement for him. Because they considered him nearly mathematically illiterate.

    "A stumbling block is a step up."

    I was illiterate in 3rd grade.

  • @MartianStories You are correct. Think of it like this, if you have a question you cannot figure out the answer to, nor any other normal person, it takes a person with a different way of thinking to discover the solution. This different way of thinking almost always appears to be a learning defect or disability early in life, but when they overcome that problem, they have a way of seeing things 'normal' people can only envy.

  • @rich1051414 That's a very good way of looking at it.

    Einstein willed his brain to science. With modern instruments they have scanned his brain and they say that he actually had unique structures and organization in his brain that "normal" people do not really share. They don't think he was born like this. They figure that, as Einstein grew, his own thinking organized and strengthened centers of his mind that normals never bother with.

    Like a blind man who develops great hearing.

  • Comment removed

  • @MartianStories how did he strengthen it ?

  • @GrandMasterJuan You'd have to ask Einstein.

    But I believe it's analogous to what happens to people as they leave childhood behind. We seem to cease relying on imagination (one of the only sources of input children constantly have) and begin to rely more and more on experience (something children have very little of).

    Einstein retained his imagination, and seemed to have relied on it for his theories in a realm in which we had little experience.

  • @MartianStories Einstein learned through sleep depravation. A dream state occurs while fully conscious, delimiting the brain to its true imaginative visual state of awareness.

    et al, He could see what he was thinking.

  • @AmpleLight That's an interesting point of view. I've actually experienced what you're talking about. I wrote a whole album during a long period of sleep deprivation, and had some very interesting, and terrifying, visions when my father died. I don't recommend it, you understand, but it can be done.

    However, I've always read that Einstein insisted on getting at least ten hours of sleep a night. He said that he could not think without it. Probably from experience...

  • Is it just me or does Francis Everitt look a little bit like Einstein? It's a reincarnation conspirac I say!

  • @badblueman he's just a wannabe
