This lecture was recorded at the Ri on Monday 14 August 2023.
00:00 Einstein’s most important equation
3:37 Why Newton’s equations are so important
9:30 The two kinds of relativity
12:53 Why is it the geometry of spacetime that matters?
16:37 The principle of equivalence
18:39 Types of non-Euclidean geometry
26:26 The Metric Tensor and equations
32:22 Interstellar and time and space twisting
33:32 The Riemann tensor
37:45 A physical theory of gravity
43:28 How to solve Einstein’s equation
47:50 Using the equation to make predictions
51:05 How its been used to find black holes
The real Einstein's Equation is part of general relativity, which relates the curvature of spacetime to the mass and energy distributed within it.
Sean explains why the geometry of spacetime has anything to do with gravity, and how this famous equation expresses the way that spacetime curves.
Sean Carroll is Homewood Professor of natural philosophy at Johns Hopkins University. He won the Royal Society Winton Prize for his book about the search for the elusive Higgs boson, The Particle at the End of the Universe, and The Big Picture was an international bestseller. His most recent book is Something Deeply Hidden. He lives in Baltimore.
Copies of Sean's latest book, 'The Biggest Ideas in the Universe 1: Space, Time and Motion', are available from Amazon and all good bookstores.

In the formula F=ma, a has a time variable which means F = 0 when time = 0 and Force can not be calculated unless you provide time duration. The parameter a Acceleration is due to the Gravity and Gravity has a set vector / direction, 0 to 180 degree, in other words there is NO Acceleration if there is NO Gravity, and in Gravity direction and Time needed. Force is 0 (zero) unless you give a non zero time. This is what scientists have been hiding and the space time scam is to explain a flawed formula using the gang leader einstein. E=mc2 is also False since you can change the constant 2 to 3 or any other number, it has no effect because E has no Unit. Also all the formulas mentioned as the successor to E=mc2, has the Time variable with the value 0 (zero) which makes all the calculated Forces, Energies and Vectors Zero. Additionally einstein never wrote and published any of these formulas and no other scientist wanted to claim Fallacy.

@@ImrePolik My bad then, I thought my comment was clear. By "accessible" I mean, as explained in another user's comment, that he made understandable to the average people essential points at the foundations of certain theories. In the series of videos by Sean Carroll that I mentioned earlier, he covers topics that, until now, only a student of a master's degree in Physics would hear about. For instance, he talks about field quantization, renormalization, the work of Kenneth Wilson, as well as symmetry groups, general relativity and so on. But he goes beyond words and provides heuristic, yet correct, mathematical descriptions. The main prerequisite to understand the level of those lectures is basically high school mathematics. In my opinion, this work deserves more media attention because these are very specific topics that rarely find a place in popular science.

I had a head injury at the age of 10. So the side effects dropped me from the top of the class, to the bottom, and eventually had me dropping out of school altogether. Teachers basically thought of me as the dumbest person in the class, due to me now having difficulty retaining long term memories. However, despite me having no physics education what so ever, I still managed to independently discover the special relativity phenomena, and how this phenomena is created, along with deriving the special relativity mathematical equations at the same time. Have a look at how I did it, if interested. Anyhow, never let brain injuries hold you back.

This was the best presentation I've seen on this subject. And I'm not at all surprised that it was given by Sean Carrol with his brilliant ways of explaining things, his clear voice, and keeping your attention. The historical context shown behind the equation, and the motivation behind its construction over time was not only fascinating, but so excellently and expertly presented, without having to go off on any tangents or use too many analogies. And without insulting the intelligence of the audience with things like "imagine the swing you played on as a kid" or "imagine the strings on a guitar", just straight build up of the logic behind going from the Newtonian formulation up to the final Einstein equation, and all the players involved along the way. Perfect.

@stylis666
@stylis666 6 месяцев назад
The step that follows is teaching the basics of relativity and quantum mechanics to 10 year olds. And start teaching the accompanying maths at about 14yo, when there's a little algebra and geometry knowledge. Maybe :) And maybe that's not for all children, but my youngest nephew of 10yo loves it and has a very quick understanding of complex abstract physics because of his intuitive and creative mind that has no problems with thinking of spacetime as four dimensional curving geometry or how probability would lead to a particle to potentially end up on the other side of a barrier. He just sees the barrier as a wall that holds back part of the probability wave as it would a water wave, but if the wall is thin enough some of it might leak through, especially if you consider that most of the wall is empty space. But the point is that children can understand a lot more than we think they can. I'm guessing that we think that they can't because the maths is difficult and we're usually taught such things when we can understand the accompanying equations and maths, but that's entirely unnecessary for the basics of physics. You can easily show a relation between push and acceleration without making a child calculate it. If you push harder, there's a larger acceleration. A child can see that easily. We don't have to know the exact ratio to understand the principle.

@joje86
@joje86 6 месяцев назад
​@@MI-qj6xrJames Woods definitely does not have an IQ of 180 (at least not in any meaningful sense). This for a multitude of reasons. Mainly because no well established IQ tests have any reliability in that range and a score that high on a typical IQ test (which are unreliable outside 2 standard deviations of the mean, i.e. outside 70-130) is basically meaningless. Part of the same rumors was that he was a member of MENSA, or that MENSA was the source of this oft quoted score, something that MENSA quickly denied (they were also stonewalled by Woods and his publicist when they tried to reach them about the rumors, since some sources implied that Woods himself might be the original source of the claims). He did supposedly score very high on his SAT, but his score was not on par with the 1 in 20 million that an IQ of 180 is (I couldn't verify his SAT score either, but it's a far less extreme claim and the guy did supposedly get into MIT based on his SAT and I couldn't find any repudiation of this from MIT). Basically, nobody seems to know where the 180 figure really comes from (and it's often quoted as 184 or 160 as well). It seems to have started as tabloids, gossip bloggers, and clickbait sites bouncing the rumor back and forth, though the rumor also seems to have had a resurgence in right-wing media in the last couple of years. The guy might at some point in time have taken a test that gave him a score of 180, but so did most everyone who has access to the web in the early 2000s. I remember that I scored over 200 on some of those ridiculous tests floating around the web back then. Another popular claim is that Woods has an IQ higher than Leonardo Da Vinci, and this one might actually be true. However, this is not really a meaningful claim either. If we extrapolate the Flynn effect that far back, a lot of us probably have an IQ higher than Leonardo, maybe most of us. And even if we ignore the Flynn effect, there is basically no reliable way to estimate the IQ of someone living that far back. And since we do know that the Flynn effect is at least true in the last century and thus that IQ scores change significantly over time, someone living that far back can't be meaningfully compared with someone living today. Don't get me wrong, the guy might be super smart. There's just no reason to believe any specific claims that high unless there is very strong evidence from a reputable source.

Hi Sean! Since listening to a few of your lectures and podcasts, this stuff doesn't seem quite so scary to me anymore. Keep in mind, I am just a lowly meteorologist... but it's still useful to hear your explanations, which help put these concepts into perspective for me. Question... Is any of this going to be on the test? 😊

15:46 I don’t think that “t” is a “universal time coordinate”, as stated in the video. It is just the time axis of the frame of reference we’re working with. The “t” of one frame is, in general, different than the “t” of another frame.

So I'm slightly confused anytime someone refers to gravity as a "force", because it was my understanding that gravity is merely an emergent property of the geometry of space-time being warped locally by mass.
@LordMarcus
@LordMarcus 6 месяцев назад
Yeah, it seems like that we call "gravity" has more to do with how we are given the illusion of acceleration through each 3D "slice" or "moment" we experience, even though the universe described would seem to indicate a static 4D spacetime where everything has already "happened".
@BlazeOrangeDeer
@BlazeOrangeDeer 6 месяцев назад
It's the same way centrifugal force and coriolis force are not technically forces. We still call them forces sometimes because they act like forces if your reference frame is spinning. Likewise, gravity looks like a force if your reference frame is accelerating. A reference frame fixed to the ground is really accelerating upwards, so it looks like there is gravity accelerating downwards. It's useful to think of it as a force because it's useful to use a reference frame fixed to the ground, it matches how we usually experience the world.
@thstroyur
@thstroyur 6 месяцев назад
The confusion lies within GR's particular framework, and the way Newton is 'carved out' of the geodesic equation and Poisson's law out of the EFE; however, this is far from an universal necessity: yours truly, for instance, has constructed a theory in which gravity is simply viewed as a force in the traditional sense, and yet one can still draw observational conclusions comparable to GR's. Oh, and before you dismiss that as some ramblings from a rando who doesn't know what they're talking about: currently under peer-review - in a fancy journal and everything 😉

Have just ordered Sean Carroll's book - hopefully filled with a similar level of insight!

Most of the weirdness of spacetime comes from the more basic principle that time (the fourth dimension, at 90 degrees to all others) is imaginary. You still use the Pythagorean theorem, but when you square the imaginary time element, it becomes negative, converting the Euclidean function (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) into a hyperbolic one (a^2 - b^2 = c^2). The principle is simple. The implications are profound.

I appreciate the enthusiasm of Professor Carroll. The capacity to set the discussion at a level that isn´t too low or too high, and the logical thread that makes it clear and enjoyable. Not least the vein of irony that put the public at ease. Would be possible to have a link to the Riemann´s paper? Or the title? That one where he makes funny comments because it wasn´t his favorite subject? Thank you.

Sean Carroll's explanation of Einstein's equation makes reading about cosmology more exciting. I was always curious about how such a simple looking equation can be so foundational. ...feels like a grand epiphany. Thanks Sean😊
@schmetterling4477
@schmetterling4477 6 месяцев назад
That is not a simple looking equation by any means. It just hides the complexity to those who don't know what the symbols mean. He pointed that out in the talk, by the way. Whether it's foundational is not known. It's just one version of an infinite number of similar equations that nature may also follow in the classical approximation. It just happens to be one of the most simple versions of all possibilities. We have, so far, not found any deviations from it, but that's mostly due to the measurement errors that we are limited by. The bigger issue is that it has a distinct thermodynamic form... which may be an indication that gravity is a thermodynamic remnant (rather than a quantum mechanical one). Or that's just coincidence. People have been wondering about that for the better part of a century. The limited success with direct quantization of gravity might be a hint that we are missing a thermodynamic layer there.
