We'd love to have them on the podcast. 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 4: Hey Daniel, I've noticed something pretty strange about how time works. 64 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, did you have time to make your own 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: theory of time? 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing, right, Like, I noticed that time 67 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: seems to speed up as you get closer to a deadline. 68 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: That's true. Deadlines seem to be infinitely far in the future, 69 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: until all of a sudden they are on top of you. 70 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 4: Right. I think the only thing that can explain it 71 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: is that time itself all bends when it's closed to 72 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: some procrastination. 73 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: Well, time does slow down near a massive object, like 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: a black hole. 75 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: I think maybe I just need less massive deadlines maybe. 76 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Or maybe your to do list is so dense it's 77 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: becoming a black hole. 78 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 4: Definitely sucks you in. Hi am Jorge. I'm a cartoonist 79 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: and the creator of PhD comics. 80 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: Hi I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist and a professor 81 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: you see Irvine, and I'm just part of Jorge's to 82 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: do list. 83 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 4: That sounds kind of inappropriate. Daniel, you mean I have 84 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 4: to be like Daniel, or I have to be Daniel. 85 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: I mean that I just contribute elements to your to 86 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: do list. 87 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: Oh, I see you add to my things to do. 88 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm on your to do list. 89 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: But anyways, welcome to our podcast, Daniel and Jorge Explain 90 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 4: the Universe, a production of iHeartRadio. 91 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: In which our to do list is to explain the 92 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: entire universe bit by bit, concept by concept, puzzle by 93 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: puzzle to you, our wonderful listeners who deeply and desperately 94 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: want to understand the nature of the universe. We find 95 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: ourselves in the whole project of physics, starting with ancient 96 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: man looking up at the sky and extending to the 97 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: Greeks trying to understand the nature of reality, ends here 98 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: on the podcast when we try to break down the 99 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: nature of the universe and explain all of it to you. 100 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: And hopefully a timely matter, right, because you know, time 101 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: is money and money is gravity. 102 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: Money is dough and everybody needs it. 103 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes we eat too much dough. But yeah, it 104 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: is a big, beautiful universe, and we like to talk 105 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 4: about all the things in it, even time itself, because 106 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 4: time is part of the universe. Right. 107 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: Time is part of the universe, though we don't understand 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: is it a fundamental element? Of the universe. Is it 109 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: something that bubbles up and just sort of appears from 110 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: other fundamental things like ice cream and lava and hurricanes, 111 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: or is it really deeply ingrained? And on this podcast, 112 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: we don't shy away from asking those really big, deep, 113 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: and difficult to grapple with questions, you know, like what 114 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: is time anyway? How do you even define it? How 115 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: do you even ask crisp and precise questions about this 116 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: slipperiest but most essential of concepts. 117 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, because time but always seems to slip by you 118 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 4: no matter what do you do. And asking these questions 119 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 4: is not just in our to do list, but it's 120 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 4: also in our want to do list, right, you know. 121 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of what you're getting paid for. 122 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: That is what I get paid for. Not on a 123 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: day to day basis. I mostly am cracking open particles 124 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: at the Large Hadron Collider, But these are the big 125 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: goals of physics, is to understand the nature of our experience. 126 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: You know, some people think physics is sort of like 127 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: abstract and separated from humanity. But it's taken me a 128 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: long time to realize that it's the most human of 129 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: sciences because it asks these questions at the very core 130 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: of the context of what it's like to be a lie. 131 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: You know, you notice things slipping into the past through 132 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: this weird instantaneous slice called the present. It's definitely something 133 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: we'd like to understand. 134 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 4: Are you saying physics out humanities to humanities? Daniel? You 135 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: out philosophize the philosophers. 136 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 5: Yeah. 137 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: You know, I used to think that physics was the 138 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: most interesting science because it was probably the most fundamental, 139 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: the most universal, that somehow it escaped humanity, that if 140 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: aliens came, they wouldn't be interested in our biological advances 141 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: because they wouldn't be relevant to them, but they would 142 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: be interested in what we've learned about physics. I'm not 143 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: so sure about that anymore. 144 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 4: And can hear all those mathematicians out there laughing at 145 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: you right now? You're like, you're pure, We're the. 146 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: Purest, even mathematicians. Man, Mathematics is just codification of the 147 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: logic and human brains. And I suspect that aliens might 148 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: not even do math, and if they do, we might 149 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: not even recognize it. 150 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 4: Oh man, you're saying physics supersedes math from a human 151 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: point of view. Oh boy, we just started an academic warrior. 152 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: You just did that. That's not what I'm saying at all. 153 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying that everything we do is based in human 154 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: thought and contextualized by human questions. But that doesn't make 155 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 1: it worthless. It means that we get to ask really 156 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: interesting questions about what it's like to be alive. 157 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, And so sometimes those questions get into the idea 158 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: of time itself, because I think maybe most people have 159 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 4: a conception of the universe it's sort of existing outside 160 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 4: of time, or like it's a universe moving through time. 161 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 4: But actually physicists think of time as part of the universe, right, 162 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 4: it's like another thing in it. 163 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't really understand. Physicists like to divide elements 164 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: of the universe into things that are fundamental, meaning they're 165 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: like basic, they're essential, they have to be there. They 166 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: define what the universe is, and then other things that 167 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: are emergent that sort of come out of the interplay 168 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: of those fundamental objects. And we don't know if time 169 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: is fundamental, if it's like absolutely essential it's part of 170 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: the nature of the universe, or if it bubbles up 171 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: from something else. We don't know if space and matter 172 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: sort of sit in a framework of time which is 173 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: external to them, or if the whole thing is just 174 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, comes up from some other weird, deep nature 175 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: we haven't even imagined. 176 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 4: Like is it hard coded into the circuitry of the universe, 177 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 4: or is it like a program running on top of 178 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 4: the chip of the universe that's kind of what you mean, right. 179 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Or is it just the way the humans think, 180 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, It might be that our tendency to think 181 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: in terms of stories and narratives which have cause and effect, 182 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: might bias us to see things as flowing forwards in time, 183 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,119 Speaker 1: when in reality the truth might be much more complex. 184 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: We just in an episode about how causality, cause and 185 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: effect might not even be an essential element of the universe, 186 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: and so it might be that time itself could be 187 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: something that's just sort of very human. 188 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's sort of like this podcast. We have no narrative, right, 189 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 4: We are just jumping around in time to whatever comes 190 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: into our minds here. 191 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: But it is these kind of basic questions that give 192 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: us a launching off point for asking questions and doing 193 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: studies and trying to like find way to grapple with 194 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: these things scientifically. Because we could sit here and smoke 195 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: banana peels and talk about the nature of time forever 196 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: without making progress. But we want to do experiments. We 197 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: want to use science to add to our body of 198 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: actual knowledge about time. 199 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll be exploring a little bit about this 200 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 4: weird concept of time and especially about how time behaves 201 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 4: according to our theories about the universe. So today on 202 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: the podcast, we'll be asking the question why does gravity 203 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 4: slow down time? Or should I should I ask it 204 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 4: slow down time? 205 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: Or maybe you should use your gravest voice, you know, 206 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: your James Earl Jones voice. 207 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: You're trying to make a gravity joke. That's kind of heavy, man, 208 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: don't make light of the situation. 209 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm a massive fan of that movie. 210 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 6: You know. 211 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: Now, this question kind of has two components to it, 212 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 4: Like you just said, it has gravity and time in it. 213 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 4: And because we know from physics that somehow gravity affects 214 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 4: time or related to time, because in the time can 215 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 4: be affected. It's not like some sort of absolute thing. 216 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: That's right, and we do not have like a single 217 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: clock for the universe. The simplest model of how time 218 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: works might be imagining that the universe all over the 219 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: place is in one state. You know, particles are going 220 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: in some direction or they're in some location, and then 221 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: things sort of tick forwards and everything takes a step 222 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: forward in unison, and in that picture, the whole universe 223 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: has like a single clock. But we've learned over the 224 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: last one hundred years that that conception of time is 225 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: not valid. The time flows differently in different parts of 226 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: the universe, and differently four different observers are moving at 227 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: different speeds. So time is much weirder, more local, and 228 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: less universal than we ever imagined. In addition, it's also 229 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: weirdly bent by heavy objects. 230 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, things that are really heavy, like black holes or 231 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 4: even just our planet, they have gravity, and that somehow 232 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 4: makes time slow down. Now that's a pretty weird concept. 233 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 4: Bred I guess that was in that movie Interstellar. 234 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: It was exactly in that movie Interstellar. Every time they 235 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: visited a really heavy planet or came near a black hole. 236 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: When they left, they found that the rest of the 237 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: universe had experienced a lot more time than they had. 238 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 4: And so I think a lot of people are maybe 239 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 4: familiar with this part of relativity, where like, if you're 240 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 4: moving fast, time slows down. But also it also happens 241 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 4: when you're near a heavy object. 242 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: That's right. These are two completely separate effects, with different 243 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: sources and importantly different mechanisms and different consequences. 244 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. So, as usually, we were wondering how many people 245 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 4: out there even it knew that gravity slowed down time 246 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: or much less I have thought about why it slows 247 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 4: down time. So Daniel went out there into the internet 248 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: to ask people why does gravity slow down time? 249 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: I like the way you say I went out there 250 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: into the Internet. It makes me feel like I got 251 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: sucked into my computer and went and like visited. 252 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 4: These people like tron like eighties movie plotline, and you got, 253 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 4: you know, sucked into your CRT monitor. 254 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 255 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 1: I'm writing those tron cycles around the Internet, gathering in 256 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: front of from our. 257 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 4: Listitors, dodging trolls, and tweeting left and right. 258 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: But if you out there would like me to beam 259 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: myself into your inbox with crazy questions about the nature 260 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: of the universe so you can hear yourself speculate about 261 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: them on the podcast, please don't be shy. Write to 262 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: me to questions at Danielandjorge dot com. 263 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you actually answer every email, right. 264 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: I do answer every email with every question from everybody. 265 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 4: You take the time. 266 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: It slows me down, but I love it all right. 267 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 4: Well, here's what people had to say. 268 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 7: Well, gravity is basically the same as acceleration, and when 269 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 7: you're accelerating, the speed of light stays the same for everybody, 270 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 7: and so it must be time that's slowing down. Yeah, 271 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 7: and when we're going at our normal speeds, you don't 272 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 7: really notice it. So gravity being equivalent to acceleration causes 273 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 7: the same effect. 274 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 8: Gravity slows down time because as particles with mass move 275 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 8: through the Higgs field, they're so down. The stronger the 276 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 8: Higgs field, the gravity is the sore of the quarks 277 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 8: and Lepton's move causing quantum interactions to take place at 278 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 8: a different rate depending on the strength of the field. 279 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 8: Scaled up into the macro world, that's what we experienced 280 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 8: as time. We would never notice if our particles were 281 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 8: moving at a faster sore speed, if everything we observed 282 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 8: was experiencing the same Higgs field along with us. 283 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 6: I guess that the reason if because the gravity bends 284 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 6: down with pafe time, and I think the length of 285 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 6: faith change if in order for the speed of light 286 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 6: were being constant, was the time of flowing a different ways. 287 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 9: First of all, time is a like space dimension, So 288 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 9: the gravity can affect time. 289 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: But how I'm thinking right now, like the. 290 00:14:52,800 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 9: Gravity does to also the objects then contracts them. And 291 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 9: and this is what I'm thinking, that it contracts time. 292 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 9: It squeezes it like the space and doing this, it's 293 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 9: slowing it down. 294 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 10: I guess gravity could slow down time because gravity makes 295 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 10: those wells in like the space time fabric, and so 296 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 10: as that material of the universe gets stretched out, the 297 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 10: time would slow down as it gets deeper, sort of 298 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 10: like if you're driving over hills versus driving over flat things. 299 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 11: I can only imagine it's got something to do with 300 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 11: space time. Like gravity isn't just a force, but as 301 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 11: Einstein says, it's a warping of space time. And if 302 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 11: you've got a ton of gravity, say in a black hole, 303 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 11: warping space space is not really a thing, but space 304 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 11: time is a thing. So you can't affect one without 305 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 11: acting the other, is what I'm guessing. 306 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 12: I know time moves slower relatively speaking for someone that 307 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 12: travels faster, So maybe gravity slows down time because it 308 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 12: also necessarily makes an object or person move faster. 309 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: All Right, some pretty good answers here. A lot of 310 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 4: people sort of knew that time can slow down, and 311 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 4: I guess they assume that gravity is somewhat related to 312 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 4: relativity and moving fast, and so why not. 313 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of really interesting and insightful and thoughtful 314 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: questions here, some confusion about the role of the Higgs field, 315 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: but also a lot of good concepts about the connections 316 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: between space and time and how masses have to bend 317 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: both of them. 318 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 13: All. 319 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 4: Right, well, let's get into this idea of time slowing down, 320 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 4: and I guess let's recap maybe the one people are 321 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 4: most familiar with, maybe, which is the one that when 322 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 4: you're moving fast and especially close to the speed of light, 323 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 4: time slows down for you. So maybe walk us through that, 324 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 4: and then we'll get into the one about gravitation. 325 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: Right, So, the one you're probably more familiar with, we 326 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: call velocity time dilation. This is something that happens in 327 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: special relativity. And to think about this, you should imagine 328 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: an empty universe, one without really massive objects that are 329 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: going to make space curvy and all sorts of weird stuff. 330 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: In this universe, light travels in straight lines, and spaceships 331 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: zoom around, and all the time dilation just comes from 332 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: the relative velocity of objects. And the most important thing 333 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: to remember is that moving clocks run slowly. So people 334 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: often make the mistake of saying, oh, I'm going fast 335 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: in a spaceship, so my time should slow down, right, Well, 336 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: it's only moving clocks that slow down. So if you're 337 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: in a spaceship and you're holding the clock, then the 338 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: clock's not moving relative to you, so you're not going 339 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: to see it slow down. So you never experience velocity 340 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: time dilation because you're never moving a relative to yourself. 341 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: Somebody else out there on a planet that you're zipping 342 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: by could see your clock running slowly because your clock 343 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: is moving for them, and so moving clocks run slowly, 344 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: meaning that your clock would run slow. You don't experience it, 345 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: but they see your clock moving slowly. 346 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 4: Right, Like, if your time is moving slowly, you don't 347 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 4: notice it because you know your brain is also sort 348 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 4: of moving slowly in a way, right, So, like everything 349 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 4: about you is moving slowly as well, and so you 350 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 4: don't notice that you're actually moving slowly. 351 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: But even that suggests there's some sort of like universal 352 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: picture of what really happened, and in that universal picture, 353 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: it makes sense for you to feel like time move normally, 354 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: even though it actually moves slowly. But there is no 355 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: like what actually happened. Some observers seeing you go by 356 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: the planet at ninety five percent of the speed of light, 357 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: they see your time as moving slowly. You see your 358 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: time as moving normally. You can try to unify those 359 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: into one picture of what actually happened, But there is 360 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: no what actually happened. There's just what different observers observe, 361 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,239 Speaker 1: and what you see depends on where you are and 362 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: how fast things are moving relative to you. For example, 363 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: if you're on the spaceship and you're looking at the 364 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: clock on Earth, you see Earth moving past you at 365 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: high speed, and so you see earth clock running slowly. 366 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: So Earth sees your clock running slow. You see Earth 367 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: clock running slow. What actually happened, Well, both of those 368 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: things happened. Is just what happened depends on where you are. 369 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 4: I guess maybe stem me through it. So I'm here 370 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 4: on Earth, I'm watching you on a spaceship go by 371 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 4: at ninety five percent of the speed of light, Like, 372 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 4: what does it mean for me to see your time 373 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 4: slow down? Like? I see your the clock inside of 374 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 4: your spaceship ticking, but it's not ticking as fast as 375 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 4: my clock exactly. 376 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: So you get a telescope and it's super powerful. So 377 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: you can look at a clock that's inside my ship 378 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: and you watch it and you see its ticks going, 379 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: and you compare it to a clock that's right in 380 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: your hand, not moving relative to you. And so every 381 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: time my clock ticks on the spaceship, you see the 382 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: clock in your lap ticking ten times. So time is 383 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: moving faster for you in your lap. Then you see 384 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: it moving for me on the ship. And this, of 385 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: course already takes some an account the fact that it 386 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: takes light time to get to you, to the telescop 387 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: from the ship. We sort of factor that out already. 388 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 4: So what does it mean? So I have a telescope 389 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 4: and I'm pointing it at you, but you're zooming by, 390 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 4: so I have to kind of track you. I have 391 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 4: to move my telescope, and so I track you as 392 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 4: you're going by, and I'm moving my telescope and I'm 393 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 4: measuring your ticks and they're not taking as fast as 394 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: my clock. 395 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: That's right. You see my clock as running slowly, So 396 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: you see me aging slowly, You see me moving slowly. 397 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: You see me like waving back to you in super 398 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: slow motion, so you see my clock as running slow 399 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: relative to your. 400 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 4: Clock, and that's the sort of a consequence of just 401 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 4: how the universe is or to the somehow the limitations 402 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 4: of the speed of light. 403 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting. You can start from lots of 404 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: different places to derive this. You can say like, well, 405 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: we've seen that nothing can move faster than the speed 406 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: of light. That's a hard limit on the speed of information. 407 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: And from that you can derive these things, these time 408 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: dilation effects, and you can walk yourself through an example. 409 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: We actually have it worked out in detail in our 410 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: book We have No Idea, a Guide to the Unknown Universe. 411 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: And you can think about how a photon clock would 412 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: tick in a spaceship as it moves up and down, 413 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: and if it's moving really fast, and it has to 414 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: go like a little bit diagonal for example, and because 415 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: light can't move faster than the speed of light, when 416 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,400 Speaker 1: it moves on a diagonal, it takes longer to get 417 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: from one side of the clock to the other. So 418 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: it's basically the constancy of the speed of light and 419 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: the fact that nothing, even light can move faster than 420 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: the speed of light. Directly lead to this consequence, the 421 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: time goes slower for moving. 422 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 4: Clocks, right, And so there's this sort of famous scenario 423 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 4: called the twin paradox or the twin experiment, where like 424 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 4: you take a pair of twins here on Earth and 425 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 4: you put one of them in a spaceship. It goes 426 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 4: out into space at the speed of light and then 427 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: comes back and supposedly when they come back, they're a 428 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 4: different age than the one that stayed on Earth. 429 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a wonderful paradox because it gets to 430 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: the heart of like what actually happened, Because in the 431 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: example we're talking about, it feels awfully symmetric, right, Like 432 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm looking at you through my telescope and I'm seeing 433 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: your clock tick slowly. But maybe on the ship you're 434 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: also looking at me on Earth and you see my 435 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: clock ticking slowly. So you want to feel like, well, 436 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: what actually happens. And the way to bring that to 437 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: a point is to like bring those two people back together. 438 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: So if one twin goes off on their spaceship, twin 439 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: on Earth sees the spaceship twin aging slowly, and the 440 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: spaceship twin sees the Earth twin aging slowly, and so 441 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: you want to feel like, well, which one is actually younger? 442 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: And so you turn the spaceship twin around, bring it 443 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: back to Earth, and you ask, like, well, which one 444 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: is younger? And what you discover is that the spaceship 445 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: twin is younger, and so that sort of breaks this symmetry, 446 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: and you wonder, like, hold on a second, if this 447 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: is supposed to be symmetric, if it just depends on 448 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: relative velocities, why is it that one of them is 449 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: now younger than the other. 450 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 4: So that means it's not just like a perception thing, 451 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 4: it's like time actually slowed down for the space twin. 452 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: In that case, it is because they've broken special relativity. 453 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: One of the rules of special relativity is no acceleration. 454 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: You can fly at high velocity and then you can 455 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: make all these measurements to do these calculations, and things 456 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: are just as we described. But as soon as you accelerate, 457 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: then you're out of the bounds of special relativity. It's 458 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: something you can do. You can do it, we can 459 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: calculate it. But it makes things more complicated, and the 460 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: simple rules we described earlier of moving clocks run slow 461 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: get much more tricky. So here. For example, when the 462 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: spaceship twin turns around to come back to Earth so 463 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: that he or she can compare her age with her twin, 464 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: then she's accelerating because changing your direction means accelerating. And 465 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: what happens when you accelerate is you break the symmetry. 466 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: Now one of the twins is accelerating, the other one 467 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: is not. And when you accelerate, weird things happen to time. Specifically, 468 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: when the twin that in the space ship turns around 469 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: and accelerates, time jumps forward for the rest of the universe. 470 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: So time runs a little slower for the accelerating twin 471 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: jumping forward for the rest of the universe, which is 472 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: why the twin in the spaceship now is younger when 473 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: they arrive at Earth than the twin that stayed home. 474 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 4: You just kind of accelerate it a little to as 475 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 4: there for my brain, I guess, one question is, but 476 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 4: isn't acceleration also relative, Like if I'm accelerating away from you, 477 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 4: I see you accelerating away from me, So why is 478 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: an acceleration also like kind of symmetric? And the second 479 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 4: question is you're saying it's the acceleration that causes time 480 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 4: to slow down, So that's sort of a different scenario. 481 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, these are great questions. Acceleration is actually absolute. Velocity 482 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: can only be measured relative to other stuff. Like if 483 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: you're in an empty universe, you can't measure your velocity 484 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: because there's nothing to move past. Right, Velocity is only 485 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: defined only has meaning relative to other objects. That's not 486 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: true for acceleration. Acceleration is something you can measure, even 487 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: in an empty universe. So, for example, put yourself in 488 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: a spaceship. You're in an empty universe. If you're moving, 489 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: your motion has no meaning. There's no experiment you can 490 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: do inside your spaceship to measure your actual velocity because 491 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: there's nothing outside to measure relative too. That's not true 492 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: for acceleration. You can measure inside your spaceship whether or 493 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: not you're accelerating. For example, you can tell do I 494 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: feel a force by being pressed by one side of 495 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: the spaceship. You'll feel those g forces if you're accelerating. 496 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: So acceleration is different from velocity. You can't have an 497 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: absolute acceleration, you can measure it, and so that's why 498 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: the rules are different for acceleration and for velocity. 499 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 4: And so then you're saying that the twin who went 500 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 4: out into space will actually be younger when they come back. 501 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: They will actually be younger exactly. So when the twin 502 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: comes back to Earth and is now in the same 503 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: reference frame moving no velocity relative to the other twin, 504 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: then you can ask real questions about in this reference frame, 505 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: who is younger and who is older. And because the 506 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: twin that went into space also did some acceleration, their 507 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: time slowed down a lot during that acceleration, or equivalently, 508 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: time for the rest of the universe jumped forward during 509 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: that acceleration. So that breaks the symmetry because only one 510 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: twin accelerated, and so the twin that stay at home 511 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: actually is older. And you know this isn't just like 512 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: ad experiment. There actually are a pair of twin astronauts. 513 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: One of them went and spent a lot of time 514 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: up in space and the other one didn't, and they've 515 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: compared the two. 516 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 4: Really all right, well, let's get into that real life 517 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 4: experiment and then let's talk about how gravity changes time. 518 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 4: But first let's take a quick break. 519 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: With big wireless providers, what you see is never what 520 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: you get Somewhere between the store and your first month's bill, 521 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: the price you thought you were paying magically skyrockets.

When you pop a piece 568 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: of cheese into your mouth or enjoy a rich spoonful 569 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: of Greek yogurt, you're probably not thinking about the environmental 570 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: impact of each and every bite, But the people in 571 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: the dairy industry are. US Dairy has set themselves some 572 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse gas neutral by twenty 573 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: to fifty. That's why they're working hard every day to 574 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: find new ways to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and 575 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, for example, most 576 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: dairy farms reuse water up to four times. The same 577 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes the barn, and 578 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: irrigates the crops. How is US dairy tackling greenhouse gases. 579 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: Many farms use anaerobic digestors that turn the methane from 580 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: maneure into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, and 581 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: electric cars. So the next time you grab a slice 582 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, know that 583 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: dairy farmers and processors around the country are using the 584 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrient dense dairy 585 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: products we love with less of an impact.

And we were talking first about the twin 589 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 4: experiment where you send the tone out into space, they 590 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 4: go really fast, they come back and they've aged less. 591 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 4: And this age and you're saying is actually due to 592 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 4: the acceleration, it's not actually due to the speed. Right. 593 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: There are two effects there. There's the velocity time delation, 594 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: which is the one you're very familiar with where moving 595 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: clocks appear to be slow. But that's not a universal phenomenon. 596 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: It depends on who is doing the observing and their 597 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: relative velocity. Acceleration, however, is different, and the acceleration does 598 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: cause an actual slowing of time, which can be measured 599 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: by everybody because it's not symmetric, it's absolute. You can 600 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: measure somebody's absolute acceleration and that makes them different, so 601 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: it breaks the symmetry. 602 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 4: So really, when people say going fast slows down time, 603 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 4: we really reaching to be saying accelerating fast causes time 604 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 4: to slow. And is that something that just somehow changes 605 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 4: time or is it because you're pushing all of the 606 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 4: particles and somehow that slows how they interact, or how 607 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 4: how do you explain acceleration changing time? 608 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, it is still correct to say 609 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: that moving fast slows down time. It's just that it 610 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: slows down time only for observers, right, observers moving fast 611 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: relative to those clocks. It's still true, it still happens. 612 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: It's not like just a perception issue. It's a true 613 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: thing about the universe. Acceleration slows down time in a 614 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: different way. It's a different mechanism. It's much harder to 615 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: understand in terms of its like ticks on the photon clock. 616 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: But you can see it also comes as a consequence 617 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: of the speed of light. 618 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 4: All right, Well, then, so that's acceleration and time dilation. 619 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 4: Because of acceleration and because of going close to the 620 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 4: speed of light. But the one we're talking about today 621 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 4: is the one due to gravity. So whenever you're next 622 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 4: to something that's really heavy or massive, time also slows down. 623 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 4: But does it slow down in the same way that 624 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 4: acceleration slows time down? Or does it slow down in 625 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 4: the same way that going at a constant speed slows time? 626 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean? Like, is it observer 627 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 4: base or is it actually like time slowing down? 628 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, great question. And gravity slows down time or the 629 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: curvature of space slows down time, And this effect on 630 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: time is the same as acceleration slowing down time. And 631 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: in fact, it's sort of a deep idea here because 632 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: in general relativity, one of the whole inspirational ideas of 633 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: general relativity is that gravity is equivalent to acceleration. You 634 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: know the experiment we talked about a minute ago, like 635 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: if you were in space, could you tell if your 636 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: spaceship was accelerating? You could, and in fact it would 637 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: feel like you were being pressed against one wall of 638 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: the ship, or equivalently, it would feel like you were 639 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: standing on a planet with gravity. Right, You can in 640 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: fact make artificial gravity on a spaceship by providing acceleration 641 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: either by spinning or by zooming off in one direction. 642 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: So the whole idea that gave Einstein the inspiration for 643 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: general relativity was this one is called the equivalence principle 644 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: that says that there's no difference between gravity and acceleration. 645 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: And so we just went through the details of how 646 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: acceleration can cause time to move slowly, and this is 647 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: exactly the same effect. Gravity also makes time move slowly. 648 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: The curvature of space around you makes time move more slowly. 649 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: It's exactly the same effect, and so it's an absolute effect, 650 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: not a relative one like for velocity. 651 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 4: So you're saying, it's really sort of acceleration that costs 652 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 4: time to slow down, and gravity is sort of like 653 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 4: an acceleration, or is it the other way around, But 654 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 4: I guess you can have acceleration without gravity, so it's 655 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 4: more like gravity is kind of like an acceleration. 656 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, gravity is essentially like a geometrical interpretation of acceleration, 657 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: or you know, said another way, what happens when you 658 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: have mass in space, Well, it changes the curvature of 659 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: that space, and so what happens then is that things 660 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: move differently, and they can appear, for example, to be accelerating. 661 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: If you aren't aware of the curvature of space, then 662 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: it seems like there's a force there which provides an 663 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: acceleration towards those masses. And so that's really what gravity is. 664 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: Gravity is the bending of space in a way that 665 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: appears to provide acceleration. So gravity and acceleration really are 666 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: exactly the same phenomenon. Either acceleration in empty flat space 667 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: gives exactly the same effects as curving of space itself. 668 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 1: You remember, we did recently a fun episode about how 669 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: if you're accelerating there are times that photons cannot catch you. 670 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: You have essentially an event horizon if you're accelerating constantly. 671 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: And the explanation there was the same as here, is 672 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: that accelerating constantly is sort of the same as curving space. 673 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 1: And we know that if you curve space, weird things happen, 674 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: like you can be inside a black hole and photons 675 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: cannot escape. And so the core idea here is to 676 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: understand that accelerating is really the same thing as gravity, 677 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: And so if you think of gravity as causing time dilation, 678 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: it's really the concept of acceleration causing time dilation. That's 679 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: sort of mentally equivalent. 680 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 4: There are a lot of leaps here, I feel like, 681 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 4: and it's kind of hard to keep track of because 682 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 4: I feel like you're saying gravity is acceleration and gravity 683 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 4: is also the curvature of space. Does that mean that 684 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 4: all acceleration is also the curvature of space? Or can 685 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 4: you have acceleration in not bend space, or like, can 686 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 4: you think of all acceleration even by like electromagnetic forces, 687 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,240 Speaker 4: as some sort of curvature of space. 688 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a deep question, and there are people out 689 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: there trying to interpret all acceleration in terms of the 690 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: curvature of space, or you know, like all forces as 691 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: being the product of the curvature of space. But that's 692 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: not necessary. You can think about acceleration in flat space, 693 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, just like put on a rocket ship, accelerate 694 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: your spaceship. Now you're going fast. But the effects of 695 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 1: that on your time and the way you pursue the 696 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: universe are equivalent to if space was curved around you. 697 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: So you can think of acceleration separately from the curvature 698 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: of space and from gravity, but has exactly the same 699 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: effect because that's really kind of what gravity. 700 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,959 Speaker 4: Is, so meaning I feel like then that you're saying 701 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 4: that it's not really gravity that's slowing down time. It's 702 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 4: really the acceleration caused by gravity, or the bending of 703 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 4: space caused by which is the same as acceleration. 704 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's lots of different ways to think about it. 705 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: You can think of acceleration caused by gravity as really 706 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: just like motion through curved space, and one of the 707 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: other impacts of curve space is that time also slows down. 708 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 4: All right, well, then maybe let's try it. Let's see 709 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 4: why does acceleration slow down time? Because that seems to 710 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 4: be the bigger problem, right, that seems to be the 711 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 4: bigger question. 712 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess you can say that gravity slows 713 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: down time because it's equivalent to acceleration slowing down time. 714 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: Why does acceleration slow down time? That gets back to 715 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: the speed of light as the limiting piece of information. 716 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: You can derive this in a flat universe using the 717 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 1: twins as an example. It's a little bit more complicated 718 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: mathematically than like normal special relativity, where you can do 719 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: these observing frames with Lorentz transformations. It gets a little 720 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: hairy and mathematical, but the core concept that it comes 721 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 1: from is this maximum speed of light. Everything comes out 722 00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: of that, both time dilation from velocity and also time 723 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: doleation from acceleration, which really is equivalent to time dolation 724 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: from gravity. 725 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 4: So I guess if I'm in a spaceship and I'm 726 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 4: accelerating the limitations of the speed of light, which does 727 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 4: that mean that? Are you sort of saying that it 728 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 4: somehow limits how the things can evolve inside of that spaceship, 729 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 4: you know, move from you know, information between molecules and 730 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 4: things like that, so things sort of evolve slower or 731 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 4: they have a limit to how fast it can evolve. 732 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say a little bit differently. I would 733 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: say that requiring that the speed of light is constant 734 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: and that everybody observes the speed of light always to 735 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: be the speed of light restricts the kinds of universes 736 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: that we can have. It puts a lot of restrictions 737 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,399 Speaker 1: on the way space and time have to work in 738 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: that universe. And these effects that we're talking about, the 739 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 1: slowing down of time by velocity and by acceleration, are 740 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: consequences of the structure of that space and time. The 741 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: sort of come out of that. 742 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 4: All right, So you're saying it's just the way it is. 743 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 4: When things accelerate, there's a limit in this speed of light, 744 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 4: and so that makes time sort of slow down, makes 745 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 4: everything slow down. 746 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: And I think it's super cool because it's not symmetric. 747 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: You know, like two people can agree on who is 748 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 1: accelerating more, and so that means that they can agree 749 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: on whose time is moving more slowly, or you know, 750 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: said another way in terms of gravity, like you and 751 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: I can agree that if you're near the black hole, 752 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: then you're in a part of space that's curved more 753 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: than my part of space, and so we can agree 754 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: that your time should be moving more slowly. That's not 755 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: true for the spaceships, right, If we're in two spaceships 756 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,800 Speaker 1: passing each other, it feels symmetric because it is symmetric. 757 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: I say you're moving past me, you say I'm moving 758 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 1: past you. Everybody's right. In the case of the black hole, 759 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,280 Speaker 1: we can agree it's not symmetric, so we should agree 760 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: that your time is moving more slowly. 761 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 4: So then a coloration causes time to slow down. And definitely, 762 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 4: when you're in near a black hole, you are being 763 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 4: accelerated probably a lot, because black holes are very massive. 764 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 4: They're pulling you in. And so if I'm near a 765 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 4: black hole, then I'm going to be moving slower through 766 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 4: time than you, who is out way far from the 767 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 4: black hole exactly. 768 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: And so another cool thing is that I see your 769 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,720 Speaker 1: time moving slowly. It means that you see my time 770 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: moving more quickly. Right, This is the real difference with 771 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: velocity time dilation and velocity time dilation. We both see 772 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: each other's time moving more slowly. Here, if you're near 773 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: a black hole and you're looking out into the universe, 774 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: you see the rest of the universe running forward in 775 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: time very quickly. And as you get closer and closer 776 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: to the black hole and more and more curvature, you 777 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: see the universe's clocks speeding up into the future. 778 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 4: So then like if I'm falling into a black hole, 779 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 4: like all the stars will suddenly start speeding up around me, 780 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 4: like I'll see the universe kind of and fast forward exactly. 781 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: And some people imagine, well, does that mean that you'll 782 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: see like the end of the universe, the end of time. 783 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: You'll know like the final fate of the universe just 784 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,399 Speaker 1: as you fall into the black hole. Well, that would 785 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: be super cool, But unfortunately, it takes a finite amount 786 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 1: of time from your perspective to fall into a black hole, 787 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: so there isn't time for all that information from the 788 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: future universe to get to you. So you see the 789 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: fast forwarded universe for a while, but you don't see 790 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,280 Speaker 1: like all the way into the infinite future. 791 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 4: Well, we talked about this last time, Like when you 792 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 4: actually get to the surface of the black hole, then 793 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 4: time actually stands still, right, Like, it slows down more 794 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 4: the closer you get to the black hole, and then 795 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 4: it sort of stands still at the surface. 796 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 1: It sort of does, but that's only for somebody far away. 797 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: They see your time moving slowly and they see you 798 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,439 Speaker 1: sort of smeared across the event horizon. But for you, you 799 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: actually fall into the black hole, you don't notice anything 800 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 1: different changing, right, You notice the rest of the universe's 801 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 1: clocks speeding up, But from your perspective, you fall into 802 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 1: the black hole, you pass the event horizon, you get 803 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: sucked into the singularity, So your time is definitely finite 804 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: from your perspective. And this is not something that we 805 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: understand very well. There's all sorts of weird paradoxes and 806 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: contradictions here about how one person sees you not falling 807 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,839 Speaker 1: into the black hole into the end of time, and 808 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: you see yourself actually falling in. It's not something that 809 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: we know how to reconcile. 810 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 4: I think what you're saying is that the person fall 811 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 4: and then you're saying they'll see themselves falling through, But 812 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 4: we don't actually know if that's true, right, Like they 813 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 4: might just actually freeze the edge. We just don't know. 814 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't know it's true, because nobody's done it 815 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: and come to report back. It's possible they actually just 816 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: freeze the edge and they think that they're inside, but 817 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: it's actually that the inside of a black hole is 818 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: a hologram projected from the surface of the black hole. 819 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: We just don't really know what's going on inside a 820 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: black hole. 821 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 4: And so this effect of gravity on time doesn't just 822 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,799 Speaker 4: happen in black holes. I mean, black hole is sort 823 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 4: of the extreme example, but it actually happens like every 824 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 4: day and everywhere, like here on Earth, the Earth is 825 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 4: slowing down time and even like I'm slowing down time 826 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 4: for the things around me, right. 827 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, everywhere there's curvature. Time is slowed down and 828 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: the Earth curves space right, because the Earth has a 829 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 1: lot of mass. That's why, for example, you don't fall 830 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: off the Earth. You're feeling it's gravity. So anywhere you're 831 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: in a situation where you're feeling gravity, you're also having 832 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: your time affected. And because gravity is stronger as you 833 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: get closer to the Earth and weaker as you move 834 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 1: away from it, that means that the clocks are variable. 835 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: Time flows in a variable way as a function of 836 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: the distance from the center of the Earth. And this 837 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: is something you can measure, like over your life, your 838 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,760 Speaker 1: feet will age one second more than your. 839 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,760 Speaker 4: Head only if you spend a lot of time standing 840 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 4: up Daniel, which cartoonist don't a lot of. So I 841 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 4: guess our feet are still young. We are still light 842 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:25,319 Speaker 4: on our feet. 843 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. That's why you lay down all the time, 844 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: just to keep your body like in sync. 845 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 4: Just to keep my feet young. All right, Well, let's 846 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 4: get into what this all means. Does that mean that 847 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 4: we're all moving slower through time than we should and 848 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 4: whether does that mean that also there's no universal clock 849 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 4: actually to measure time in the universe, So let's get 850 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 4: into that. 851 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 1: But first let's take another quick break. When you pop 852 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: a piece of cheese into your mouth or enjoy a 853 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 1: rich spoonful of greeky yogurt, you're probably not thinking about 854 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: the environmental impact of each and every bite, But the 855 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,560 Speaker 1: people in the dairy industry are. US Dairy has set 856 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 1: themselves some ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse gas neutral 857 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: by twenty to fifty. That's why they're working hard every 858 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 1: day to find new ways to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, 859 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, for example, 860 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: most dairy farms reuse water up to four times the 861 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,800 Speaker 1: same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes the barn, 862 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: and irrigates the crops. How is US dairy tackling greenhouse gases? 863 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: Many farms use anaerobic digestors that turn the methane from 864 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: maneuver into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, and 865 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 1: electric cars. So the next time you grab a slice 866 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, know that 867 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: dairy farmers and processors around the country are using the 868 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 1: latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrient dense dairy 869 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 1: products we love with less of an impact.

I 873 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 14: mean neuroscientists sustain and I've spent my career exploring the 874 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 14: three pound universe in our heads. We're looking at a 875 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,320 Speaker 14: whole new series of episodes this season to understand why 876 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 14: and how our lives look the way they do. Why 877 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 14: does your memory drift so much? Why is it so 878 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 14: hard to keep a secret, When should you not trust 879 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 14: your intuition? Why do brains so easily fall for magic tricks? 880 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 14: And why do they love conspiracy theories. I'm hitting these 881 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 14: questions and hundreds more because the more we know about 882 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 14: what's running under the hood, the better we can steer 883 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 14: our lives. 884 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 2: Join me weekly to explore the relationship. 885 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 14: Between your brain and your life by digging into unexpected questions. 886 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 14: Listen to Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple. 887 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 4: Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 888 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,440 Speaker 13: Hi, everyone, it's me Katie Couric.

It's about my emotional journey 914 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 16: in podcasting over the last seven years, and it's called Earthquake. 915 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:12,240 Speaker 15: House, Mega Mango. 916 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 2: I'm going to cut you off right there. Why don't 917 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 2: we just tell people about our show instead? 918 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,839 Speaker 16: Yeah, that's a better idea. So every week on Part 919 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 16: Time Genius, we feed our curiosity by answering the world's 920 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 16: most important questions, things like when did America start dialing 921 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 16: nine to one? One? Is William Shatner's best acting work 922 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:29,839 Speaker 16: in Esperanto? 923 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 1: Also? 924 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 15: What happened to Esperanto? Plus we cover questions like how 925 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,439 Speaker 15: Chinese is your Chinese food? How do dollar stores stay 926 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 15: in business? And of course is there an Illuminati of cheese? 927 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 16: There absolutely is, and we are risking our lives by 928 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 16: talking about it. But if you love mind blowing facts, 929 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 16: incredible history and really bad jokes, make your brains happy 930 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 16: and tune into Part Time Genius. 931 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 15: Listen to Part Time Genius on the iHeartRadio app or 932 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 15: wherever you get your podcasts. 933 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 4: All right, Daniel, my favorite question in all these topics 934 00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 4: what does it all mean? 935 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: Man? 936 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 4: So anything with gravity bends space around it, which cosses acceleration, 937 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 4: and accelerating things slowed down in time. So things are 938 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 4: always slowing down in time everywhere, all the time. 939 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, everywhere there's a gravitational field, clocks are being slowed. 940 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: So if you're in a gravitational field, then your sense 941 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,919 Speaker 1: of now is moving forward differently than other people who 942 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: are like out in deep space. And so if you 943 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time near gravitational objects, then you 944 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,520 Speaker 1: are younger than you otherwise would be right. 945 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 4: But it's not just gravity too, right. It's like if 946 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 4: I get in my car and I accelerate up to 947 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 4: the freeway, I somehow slow down time for myself. 948 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, gravity and acceleration, they're equivalent, and so both of 949 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 1: them will slow down time. Every time you accelerate, the 950 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: universe sort of leaps forward a little bit relative to you. 951 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: If you accelerate rated a lot for a long time, 952 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 1: you would notice clocks around you seeming to move forward 953 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 1: faster than one second per second on your clock. 954 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 4: And so I guess that means first of all, that 955 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 4: there's no real age to the universe. Is that really true? That? 956 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 4: Does that mean that you know there's no like absolute time. 957 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no absolute time, which is really frustrating if 958 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 1: you'd like to have a sense that you know, there's truth, 959 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: that there's something really going on out there outside of 960 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 1: our skulls. It's frustrating to imagine that. Like, different people 961 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: can tell different stories and they can both be correct. 962 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: But there's an even deeper problem if you try to 963 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,759 Speaker 1: extrapolate back to time equals zero. You know, we say 964 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,319 Speaker 1: this thing the universe is thirteen point eight billion years old. Well, 965 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: according to what clock, right, has that clock been moving 966 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: on in spaceship? Has that clock spent a lot of 967 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: time near a black hole? Because if so, it's going 968 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: to have a different answer. And so, because different parts 969 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: of the universe have different curvature, right like near black 970 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: holes or near suns or whatever, then different parts of 971 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,880 Speaker 1: the universe have aged differently since its beginning. So the 972 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: universe does not have one single age. Just like your 973 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: feet and your head are not the same age, assuming 974 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: you haven't spent your whole life in bed, the parts 975 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 1: of the universe have different ages. 976 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 4: I do a lot of handstands, so I'm trying not 977 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 4: to go bald, so I'm keeping my head. 978 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,439 Speaker 1: I think we all need a video of you doing 979 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: a handstand. Let's see that. 980 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 4: That's good. But I guess that confuses me because you 981 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 4: told me earlier that acceleration is absolute, so I can 982 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 4: measure acceleration absolutely, and time is actually bent by acceleoration. 983 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 4: So couldn't I, I don't know, finest spot in the 984 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 4: universe that's never been accelerated and say that, like, that's 985 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 4: the absolute age of the universe. 986 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: Well, that's the age of that part of the universe, 987 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,400 Speaker 1: and that would be the oldest part of the universe. 988 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 1: That part would have experienced the most time. But you know, 989 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 1: if you had put a clock somewhere else in the 990 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,959 Speaker 1: universe and let it run since the beginning, it would 991 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 1: have a different number. So like different parts of the 992 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,959 Speaker 1: universe have different ages, and you might reasonably say, well, 993 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 1: the oldest part of the universe, I'm gonna use that 994 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:03,840 Speaker 1: as the age of the universe. 995 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody cares how young my feet are, you know, 996 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,959 Speaker 4: I care, man, I care if you care. 997 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 1: It sounded a lot like I care though, right. That 998 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 1: sounded sincere, isn't it. 999 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 4: But yeah, so there's sort of an age limit to 1000 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 4: the universe, right, Like you're saying that there is an 1001 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 4: absolute age of the universe by which we can measure 1002 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 4: all other ages. 1003 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a maximum age to the universe, right, there 1004 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,720 Speaker 1: is a number beyond which no part of the universe 1005 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 1: could have experienced more time than that. And if you 1006 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: wanted to find that as the age of the whole universe, 1007 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 1: I guess that makes sense. But I think more conceptually 1008 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: it makes sense to imagine like how many clock ticks 1009 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: have there been in a given part of the universe, 1010 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 1: And that's not equal all over the universe. It depends 1011 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,240 Speaker 1: on how much gravity there is nearby. 1012 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,399 Speaker 4: Right, Because I guess even our solar system is being 1013 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 4: accelerated around the Milky Way, so therefore our time is 1014 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 4: sort of being slowed down in that way too. 1015 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, the curvature of the center of the Milky Way 1016 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 1: and that super massive black hole does a the motion 1017 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 1: of the Sun and the curvature nearby, which slows down 1018 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:03,760 Speaker 1: our time. 1019 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,840 Speaker 4: And I guess you were trying to tell me earlier 1020 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 4: that there is sort of a philosophical question here, which 1021 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 4: is like, does acceleration change time or does time change acceleration. 1022 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's familiar to think about general relativity as saying 1023 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,759 Speaker 1: that mass causes space to bend, and then the curvature 1024 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 1: of space tells masses how to move. Right that you 1025 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: get an appearance of acceleration, this effective force of gravity 1026 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 1: because space itself is bent. There's a missing component there, right, 1027 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: which is that time is also curved by mass, So 1028 00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: you have masks somewhere. It doesn't just curve space, It 1029 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,720 Speaker 1: also curves time, which is what we've been talking about today, 1030 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,760 Speaker 1: and the curving of time also contributes to this force 1031 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,760 Speaker 1: of gravity. So gravity is an apparent force that comes 1032 00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 1: not just from the bending of space, but also from 1033 00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,280 Speaker 1: the bending of time. The two work together because space 1034 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 1: time really is sort of one thing to create this 1035 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:02,759 Speaker 1: effect of gravity. 1036 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 4: You're saying time, you can also bend time, just like 1037 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 4: you can bend space, and somehow that's where gravity comes from. 1038 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It's familiar to use like a rubber sheet analogy, 1039 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: where parts of space are bent and that changes how 1040 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,640 Speaker 1: an object moves sort of naturally. And you know, that's 1041 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 1: a little confusing because in what direction is the rubber 1042 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,320 Speaker 1: sheet bending. It's bending in some sort of like external direction. 1043 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: You can measure it in terms of like another dimension 1044 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,440 Speaker 1: in reality in our space. It's intrinsic curvature. It just 1045 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 1: changes the relationship between points in space their relative distances. 1046 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,920 Speaker 1: So that's a familiar way to think about how the 1047 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 1: curvature of space affects the motion of an object. You 1048 00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: can do something similar for a time. You can imagine 1049 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 1: like different parts of the universe flowing with different time. Right, 1050 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: It's sort of like you're moving down a river and 1051 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 1: different parts of the river are moving faster than others, 1052 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,120 Speaker 1: and that will affect the motion of objects. Like you 1053 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,520 Speaker 1: have a really big object in a river and the 1054 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: river is flowing faster on the left side than on 1055 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: the right side. It's going to change change the way 1056 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 1: that object moves. It'll like tug it towards the slow 1057 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,280 Speaker 1: moving part of the river. And that's part of how 1058 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,960 Speaker 1: the curvature of space and time creates this effect of 1059 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,800 Speaker 1: gravity that objects no longer move and what we perceive 1060 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 1: to be straight lines. 1061 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 4: I see you're saying, like you can think of it 1062 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 4: the other way around, like me falling to the Earth 1063 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 4: or me being in orbit around the Earth is actually 1064 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 4: a consequence of the differences in time, and like differences 1065 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 4: in time caused me to move from one place to another. 1066 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,879 Speaker 1: Exactly it's space and time being curved both affect your trajectory. 1067 00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 4: Cool, So in a way, asking why does gravity slow 1068 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 4: down time, you could also mainly ask why does time 1069 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,760 Speaker 4: slowing down time cause gravity? 1070 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Another way to think about it is that 1071 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 1: the effect of gravity we observe is coming from the 1072 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: curvature of space and the curvature of time, and that 1073 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,760 Speaker 1: gravitational time dilation is just another aspect of the curving 1074 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 1: of space time in respect to mass. 1075 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:58,680 Speaker 4: So I guess in the end, you just have to 1076 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,720 Speaker 4: say that it's all of kind of the same thing. 1077 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 4: It's all sort of related, and it's all you know. 1078 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 4: You can look at it from one player, you can 1079 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,320 Speaker 4: look at it upside down, But at the end of 1080 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,759 Speaker 4: the day, it all comes down to really, I think acceleration, right, 1081 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,759 Speaker 4: Like things that accelerate have to slow down in time 1082 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 4: because of the speed limit of the universe. 1083 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a consistent way to think about it. I 1084 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 1: prefer the sort of geometrical way to think about it, 1085 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 1: that we're living in a universe that's courage and warp 1086 00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 1: but we don't perceive it directly, and so the way 1087 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,399 Speaker 1: things move through space and time are affected by these 1088 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 1: like invisible warping. That sort of geometrically makes the most 1089 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 1: sense to me. But you can also think about it 1090 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,720 Speaker 1: just in terms of acceleration in flat space. 1091 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well, I guess that answers sort of 1092 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,800 Speaker 4: the question why does gravity slow down time? The answer 1093 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 4: is because of acceleration, And why does acceleration slow down time? Well, 1094 00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,759 Speaker 4: we probably need a whole new podcast episode about it. 1095 00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, why does gravity slow down time? Because time is 1096 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: bent in the presence of mass, just like spaces. 1097 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 4: I think you just went all the way around. Why 1098 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,280 Speaker 4: does accele slow in time? Because slowing down time causes excelation. 1099 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,439 Speaker 4: Sounds like a great answer. 1100 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,440 Speaker 1: And it causes podcasts to go in circles. 1101 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, now you could just hit replay and listen to 1102 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 4: this episode all over again and it should make sense. 1103 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 1: Right. It's all pretty tricky stuff, and the end it 1104 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,680 Speaker 1: all comes down to consequences from our observation that the 1105 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 1: speed of light is the maximum speed of the universe 1106 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 1: that just happens to be the universe we live in, 1107 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,760 Speaker 1: and when we build in those constraints into our theories, 1108 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: these are all the consequences that come out of it. 1109 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,040 Speaker 4: And maybe that points to what you were saying earlier 1110 00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 4: that you know, we have this speed limit and it 1111 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,880 Speaker 4: causes time to do weird things. So maybe time is 1112 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 4: not a fundamental thing, right, Like it's not outside of 1113 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 4: the universe. Maybe time is something that comes out of 1114 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 4: how the universe. 1115 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 1: Works, yeah, or how we are perceiving it or measuring it. 1116 00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: And you know, there's a whole universe of crazy ideas 1117 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,440 Speaker 1: about time, even ideas that like time is not an 1118 00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 1: essential part of the universe but comes out of something else, 1119 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,839 Speaker 1: or that there are multiple dimensions of time, the way 1120 00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: there are multiple dimensions of space and we're just moving 1121 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: on like a one D line through three dimensional time. Man, 1122 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: there's a whole like crazy, crazy set of really fun 1123 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 1: ideas to dig into. 1124 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,439 Speaker 4: Unfortunately we are out of time for this episode. We'll 1125 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,960 Speaker 4: have to find more time to get into it more. 1126 00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,400 Speaker 4: But we hope you enjoyed that and maybe got you 1127 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 4: to think a little bit more about how young your 1128 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,839 Speaker 4: feet are and how you should maybe do more handstand. 1129 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,400 Speaker 1: I want to see that video if you're doing a handstand. 1130 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 4: I can't do it actually, but now it's not the time, 1131 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 4: all right, Well, thanks for joining us, see you next time. 1132 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening.

How is us dairy 1141 00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 1: tackling greenhouse gases? Many farms use anaerobic digestors to turn 1142 00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 1: the methane from manure into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, 1143 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 1: and electric cars.
