Consider this: when you were 5 years old, living from age 5 to age 6 meant experiencing 1/6 of your life. However, when you were 19 years old, the span from 19 to 20 represented only 1/20 of your life. By the time you reach 59 years old, living from 59 to 60 accounts for just 1/60 of your life. The conclusion is that as you get older, each passing year constitutes a smaller fraction of your entire life. That's why it feels like time is passing faster as you get older-it's not that time is speeding up, but rather your perception of time changes. Each year becomes a smaller fraction of your life, making it seem shorter in comparison to when you were younger.
Doesn’t account for the phenomenology of life and what it is you’re actually doing. Kids don’t remember much of their lives, and then there’s a salience to all kinds of new experiences. Adults with dreary repetitive jobs feel a passage of time different from somebody in a war zone, or a farmer who works his land and saliently experiences each season. And compare all those to somebody who spends much of their adult life on the sofa playing video games or otherwise attached to screens. The phenomenology of time is also disputed by ‘flow’ states of optimal performance or being in the Zone. Fulfilling moments. There’s a radical difference in time experience when out in the wilderness on a thru-hike where day after day you’re in a remote area and detoxed from mobile phones. A long walk in the sun can feel like a week, or a long walk in the rain. The mathematics of percentages as we get older doesn’t even come close to capturing the diverse ways people can experience time and, so, their lives.
Which is a total bs scenario given how he would have seen what happened(albeit playing out painfully slow), understood they weren't going to get back for decades and therefore he would have rightfully left them behind. Don't forget he himself was also subjected to time dilation being also very close to the event horizon, but just not as severe as the cooper expedition so as he left orbit of Millers planet he could have gone back and reported what happened and in the many more decades of "normal time" away from the black hole another expedition could have, should have and would been sent from earth, including placing an AI controlled rescue vessel in orbit of Millers planet for whenever Cooper and his crew finally returns from the planets surface. So all things considered, this man was stupid to remain there and realistically wouldn't have nor needed to have.
You know people dont really go insane just because theyre alone right? Its a common nonsense trope that doesn't really happen irl. Humans are more resiliant than that.
Also this man could have switched to an orbit trajectory around the planet rather than around the black hole which would have somewhat equalised his time to their time. Sure, Cooper and his crew may have reached orbit to find this man and ship were now in orbit much closer to the event horizon than they are on the other side of the planet furtherest away from the black hole, which would take decades relative to their position to meet him, BUT, not if they then move to intercept it and the spacetime would equalise rather quickly as they get closer.... ya the whole scenario is bs though and as touched on in this vid, such extreme gravitational and centrifugal forces would absolutely shred the planet unless it was... Pffff... neutron star levels of density lol, in which case you don't approach for many obvious reasons!!
@@jerometruitt2731 Some do, don't. It's possible but highly unlikely this guy would given how NASA very carefully hand pick people resilient to such mental breakdowns.
The part where Murph refers to her father on the 3rd person I'd argue this is simply her maturity in language. Since it has been such a long time she's simply referring to a very old promise
I agree it was an emotional statement but to me it feels like she's repeating a statement she's been repeating to people when they ask her why she keeps hope in seeing him again. She says it like that bc she's been saying it to others for so many years. But that's imo
I recently suffered a brain infection and for a period of time my heart stopped and I died. Around the week of this happening I experienced many strange visions, dreams and hallucinations. One thing particularly strange and disturbing was that I experienced different time zones. I experienced a place without time and I also experienced time slowing down to an unbearably slow rate here on earth. My experience of 1 minute was about an hour. I was observing people around me moving extremely slowly, and the sun rising over a period of about 10mins, but for me it felt like about 10 hrs... It was honestly the most excruciating and horrible experience. This was just the tip of the iceberg of what I experienced, I was lucky to survive.
I've had stuff like that happen to me before, not trying to compare anything, but one REALLY crazy thing happening to me recently is..... I've been remembering past deaths. Like reliving them. Some through dreams and the others are like, memories.... Y'all have EVERY RIGHT to not believe a fucking word of this tho...😮
I also had an heart attack and was dead nearly 5 minutes, and I share the different timezones or lack of time feeling,. It's as though I had become unsynchronized with the universal flow of time.
Is it time thats moving faster or is your perception of time different now because youve lived alot and have less to go instead of lived less and have alot more to go???
I didnt understand half this video but man I watched the whole thing and it was interesting. Also shout out to all the smart people in the comments. I like when people explain stuff to other people.
Nice video! I hope one day someone can answer MY burning question from Interstellar: why Murph’s family (which is also Cooper’s family) acts like he’s some strange weirdo they want nothing to do with when he shows up literally out of space and time. They MUST know things about him. It makes no sense.
Tell me about it!! I always think the same thing. It's so strange. I get that Murph is way more famous than Cooper ever was... but still. Everyone has to know about him. But they treat him like a nothing. And to add insult to injury -- he has to STEAL a spacecraft to go find Amelia! Rather than them stocking him up nicely and sending him on his way. It makes no sense.
Would you believe someone that told you the same things right now? Realistically, Murph wouldn't be able to tell anyone that Cooper was communicating through the watch, she would look insane
@@wastedroach sure but forget about the watch. She should be screaming "this is my dad! Look everyone, it's my dad who's been gone for decades!". And even if they were like "shhh, grandmaw, you're senile", fine. It's the lack of anything that rubs me the wrong way.
@@dudewrapsupremeNo, not necessarily. He assumed that as soon as the big bang happened, the black hole is formed along with the big bang. However, his assumption is is based on an incomplete knowledge of the big bang.
You would have to make a few more assumptions, but one that I can think of is the time it would take for the micro black hole to consume enough matter to reach its current size. And if micro black holes don't exist, then you need to account for the time it would take for a star to form with enough mass to collapse into a black hole and the time it would take for the black hole to consume enough mass reach its current size. There are assumptions that needs to be made to get a more exact time, but i am not sure what those are atm.
We should start with the fact that such planet would not be able to exist in such a close vicinity to the black hole. The planet and everything around it would be shredded into pieces.
Just wow! This is in my top 5 of favorite movies. I watched it with my daughter when she was about the same age. I held her tight walking out of the theater. Never seen these details about Cooper being a different dad from a another timeline! Dope!.
The story of the how Zimmer stumbled on the organist needs a vid. The soundtrack is addicting. And read Flatland to try and wrap your head around dimensions.
This movie went over a lot of peoples head even till this day. You're the first person to explain it how I saw it in my head... amazing job my friend. The only thing I wish you would have spoke more about is the diemntal 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D to where they're now and how you can have access to trassend across time the higher you go. Kinda like the movie, "FLATLAND", one of my altime fav movies about the world we live in and how we precive it.
“Remember in university level math, you had to solve a tesseract problem…” I have a degree in computer science, the only university level math class I was forced to take was Statistics, where the final exam was balancing a sample checkbook.
Did Cooper get any credit for what he did in Murphy's world? She didn't know it was from him until he came back when she was dying. Did anyone realize their mission was successful? Or just think it was due to Murphy unlocking the equation?
Script pages 99 and 141, she knew it was him before she figured out the equation. static1.squarespace.com/static/5a1c2452268b96d901cd3471/t/5b95b7b0032be4f0cd3a8db2/1536538544682/Interstallar.pdf
This movie has so many ideas theories and topics that can be discussed and dissected for years to come! Which is why it remains my favorite film , truly timeless.
Tremendous video! I loved the way you mentioned the subtle point that on Miller's planet, since they are both in free fall around the black hole, the astronauts don't "feel" the blackhole. However, since they are in the potential of the black hole, time is affected.
The fact that NASA sent them, they have a physicist on board, and yet everyone's surprised there's large tides, was simultaneously the coolest scene in the movie, and the most ridiculous scene in the movie.
It’s cool seeing RU-vid videos exploring the same movie that at 13 started my journey into exploring quantum mechanics, astrophysics, string theory, and theoretical physics. I had so many unanswered questions after watching this movie when it came out and found myself reading various books related to this topic and putting in hundreds of hours of online research trying to satiate my curiosity. And again 10 years later I’m still finding information to hopefully expand my understanding, or to pass time in an interesting way
Time does not exist for God. God is a different dimension but gave us sun and moon for our day time activities and sleep when we need it...worship at certain times amongst other things. its necessary for humans but not for God
you will find some interesting verses in the Holy Quran regarding time dilation....honestly so much people or science cannot explain but may if you will find answers that you are looking for
Time Dilation is such a scary and screwed concept. I will never forget the time dilation in the book "The Forever War" since it was the main point of the book showing the reader the problems that comes with time dilation when entering a galactic war. Watching all your comrades die just to return to earth and see humans evolving into a utopia and that the war ended hundreds of years ago even though you just fought a bloody battle a few days ago was so sad. Still one of the cutest and happiest endings to a book I've read though. (Won't spoil that bit)
It's really hard to wrap my head around this type of physics. We can't all be Einstein. It's mind boggling to think there are possible scenarios where you could end up being much younger then your children once back on earth.
I really don't think it is that hard to grasp that time goes slower when moving at speed. I have had a lot of thought about how it could work on a very small scale as on the atomic scale or even smaller. The following is my explanation. If you think about a particle as a circle or ball you would not be far from the truth. If this ball has anything measuring time I can only see it to be an electromagnetic signal (EM signal) going from side to side and then back (oscillation between the walls). EM signals can at the most move with the speed of light (near 300,000 km/sec) so it will take a little time to get across from one side to the other. It will take a little longer if the particle is moving in the same direction. (Remember EM signal speed is NOT added to the particle speed as a ball speed would be to a moving car as this would break the maximum speed possible (any speed added to 300,000km/sec would be more than 300,000km/sec.)) Also speed radar wouldn't work. If you do the calculation (as I have (hopefully not wrong)) then you will find that the forward time takes longer than the two speeds added together would suggest and even though the reverse time is much shorter the total will be more than it would be if at stand still. My calculations validated the time dilation formula so I suspect I did it right. It also shows that even though Einstein (and explanations about time dilation) always show it with a light clock going perpendicular to the travel direction then it works equally as well if the time signal goes forward and backward along the travel direction. If you then have that very fast travel slows down time a lot for the traveller then it is not so strange that he will be younger than people left behind and this is really not much different to that frozen meat last longer (kind of stays younger) than fresh meat. That acceleration has anything to do with it as well (except you must accelerate to get a faster speed) as some people postulate I can not see. As I see it it only has to do with speed. Personally I have some problems with relativity. I find it easier to believe that these calculations would be the same for every body and every thing so that we have the fastest time at an "absolute stand still" and not that we can arbitrarily pick our own spot as stand still.
Just found this video and it somewhat answered some of the questions that was bothering me about this movie. Very good take and ideas. I didn't realize that Cooper wasn't the same Cooper in his daughter's timeline. That's actually crazyband very interesting.
How does quantum entanglement work with time dilation? I'd like to hear an explanation of how simultaneous events between coexisting particles occur when time dilation is a factor between the two.
Thank you so much for your time and efforts for bringing up this video, this by far was the most detailed and understandable explanation of the science used in the movie and more of clear picture (for me) of time dilation etc.
the true triumph, aside from the hyper-real fate of the planet, was the *visualization* of a tesseract, not so much the physics (a wormhole) but the visual depiction of theoretical ideas.
i am absolutely fascinated with the idea of space and time and everything interstellar related. These videos make me have an existential crisis and i love it.
What's convieniently over looked is the gravity on Millers planet is many times that which those astronaugts would be able to endure. It would be very hard to even get out of the ranger at just 3 times gravity. A 200 lbs man would be 600 lbs, not to oversimplify but that is going to be a major effor. They seemed to just walk normally in the water.
1 Hour near gargantuan equals 7 years because of heavy gravity. Does that mean if we go to a place with low gravity, 7 years there would be 1 hour on earth?
If you were visiting Miller’s planet using a ship that utilizes anti-gravity as its mode of travel, the bubble of space time formed around the vehicle would protect you from the time dilation unless you were to exit the vehicle.
Great movie, but I find myself depressed for many moments. The water planet creeps me out, along with the extreme in aging. Matt Damon's planet is quite creepy as well.
7:30 You've said previously, "a couple of hour per day on a surface of a neutron star" so this already answers the "no" to the plausibility of existence of the Miller's planet.
I believe there will still be videos being posted about Interstellar even 100 years from now. Its ten years already and the movie still being dissected- shows how great Interstellar is. Can't wait for Sept 27, 2024 to witness Nolan's and Zimmer's masterpiece once again.
That was awesome. I still am trying to figure out why time can be going on in different places at different speeds but i think we need a universal clock. Maybe one of the furthest distances galaxies (the past) could be used as a standard time.
One thing I have not seen answered satisfactorily about this movie, perhaps someone could help. If the gravity on the planet was so extreme as to slow time that much, wouldn’t it have been too strong for them to stand on? If it’s just dramatic license that’s fine, I just want to know.
I will try my hand at answering this but I'm likely wrong. The gravity felt on the planet is proportional to the size and mass of the planet (I believe) The strength of the gravity created by the sheer size and scale of the black hole is effecting space time, the bending of space. Each are independent of one another Example, the gravity pull between ourselves and the sun is independent of one another. Anyway, I am likely wrong but thought I'd give it a go whilst I eat my breakfast haha!
Not a physicist but very into the topic. The huge time dilation is a result of being in close proximity to the black hole, not the planet. The planet, like all mass, causes a bending of spacetime that results in a gravitational pull. But as you said, it’s weak enough for humans to stand on and even escape from, given they have the velocity to do so. The important point, though, is the proximity of the planet (and thus the characters) to the black hole. The mass of the black hole causes enough of a spacetime bend to severely distort time around it (from others perspective), an effect which increases as you get closer. If you’re on a planet that’s orbiting the black hole, you will still only feel the gravitational pull of the planet, while both you and the planet “experience” time dilation from the black hole. Edit: I put “experience” in quotes at the end because, from your perspective, time always ticks forward at the same rate. From your perspective, the universe farther away from the black hole appears to fast forward.
wow this very video got me subscribed, its like interstellar for dummies in the intro but it takes you thru the whole complexity of the movie, epic video bravo
Gravity ratio proportional of mass and volume , Gravity carry Time and slowing Time when more gravity force occurs on more mass, so outer layer low energy band having time that's protect gravity ratio of planets. Every molecule have it's own time.
Love this movie(though rarely watch it Interestingly). One obvious contradicting plot hole is the ending where Cooper leaves to find Brand who's described as being out there waiting for him alone on a planet and is shown on a planet doing exactly that while his daughter is kinda narrating it on her death bed(that scene absolutely cut my heart in half btw. 😢) The problem here is that when Cooper and Brand separated close to the event horizon, Brand would age more and more quickly as she moves further away from the black hole while Cooper falls further into it... see where I'm going with this? Even though Cooper would have made that transition into the black hole faster than it would a signal to reach his brain(and thus wouldn't have noticed) and would have also entered the black hole unimaginably quickly from Brands perspective, the resulting time dilation would still have translated into a notable amount of time. So it's just not possible that after that scene Brand and Cooper are similar in age any more. Here's the thing though, the movie doesn't actually show Cooper ever finding and reuniting with Brand. In fact, his daughter seems to have been kept in some sort of stasis in order to prolong her life an unknown number of years beyond her already natural old age in the hopes that her Dad Cooper would keep his promise and return to her(getting tears again!)). So it's possible that while Cooper fell into the black hole and was doing his communication with his daughter, Brand lived and died on that planet alone before Cooper exited. Plot twist. In all the time Brand, and certainly Cooper were in that system losing decades of "regular" spacetime messing about with their black hole buddy, it's highly unlikely that no other teams were sent strictly to check out what's happening and report back ASAP. It's not clear how many years were lost simply travelling from planet to planet, but the poor guy who had to wait above Millers planet could have probably gone back to earth instead of waiting for a decade staring down at static looking people. A new fresh team would instead be the ones to meet them... anyways great movie.
I think the term "alternate" makes more sense then "parallel" in this context. Falling into a black hole and ending up behind the bookshelf of your daughters room is interesting for a sci-fi movie but so far fetched. However, there is paradox to the universe/life and multiverse theory may be the only one that offers viable solution. Infinite, and possibly eternal.
The simple answer on the last question is the all journey would be erased from the timeline. Cooper would be farmer or maybe day of cancer. More progressive answer is that reality would split into 2 different versions.
If everything is predetermined, then freewill is just an array of options and an outcome purely by chance unless all options are exhausted at the same time.
The question of how "they" came to be is a contemplation that is truly mind boggling...is it possible that their chronology is literally founded in the reality of a universe where time and events are determined and inaccessible, but exist perhaps as a sort of template that can, and is, accessed by future, higher dimensional beings that literally gain the ability to oversee their own realities? The more we establish the present, the more we can make possible the future, and in the existence of endless versions of the same universe, perhaps it becomes possible to gain access to those realities that have the aspects that make the possibility of a future self existing in a higher dimension possible....which kinda means that our future higher selves are as reliant on their past selves, as much as our present selves are on our future ones to ensure existence anywhere, anytime at all, lol! One thing I am certain of, is that I found this particular doco for the first time (pardon any pun) today - and am so excited...superb presentation that is impossible to get lost in - fantastic work!! 👍😊
It always bugged me that the guy flew to different galaxies, traversed wormholes, navigated the tesseract to transmit data and who is credited? The one who did the math. Gees.
Sir, you have a gift! A talent for explaining not only the interesting yet complicated and making it understandable, but also for explaining the mundane and making it interesting! I've seen your video about the 10th dimension (well the first part, I didn't know there was a part 2 until I was clicking on this video... which I'll watch after I finish this one) and I was hooked and excited because I could easily follow your videos without feeling like my IQ just dropped or I was getting early-onset dementia like some other's videos have made me feel when trying to wrap my head around it... and you've already got me subbed! Thank you and keep up the awesome work! ❤❤❤
To be fair, Interstellar was not the first to demonstrate or explain time dilation on a planet differing from orbit. Star Trek Voyager episode "In the Blink of an Eye" did it 14 years prior. (Voy S06E12)
WOW!! Some pretty out of this world speculation here!! Loved Interstellar and the way it tried to reconcile everything we know about the cosmos, and what might be; I saw this movie three times on its release, and rejoiced in its very serious attempt to keep to respected physics and astronomy
According to the initial explanation, the laser beam loses a lot of energy as it comes out of the gravity of the massive object, with an important decrease in frequency, and this leads to one second on the astronaut's clock being 60,000 seconds for the other person. Sorry, I see a big jump in logic here.
One way to look at free will is like the quantum observer effect. If, like in this movie, the whole timeline as we saw it here is observed from an outside perspective, it is fixed. But if no observer is there free will would be intact as we're not bound to follow the path given by the observer being present
They should make movies out of the sci-fi novels by Robert L. Forward. Like Arthur C. Clarke he writes hard sci-fi, but his stories are based on the most extreme extrapolations of scientific speculation. He has touched so many amazing themes, and he makes it really easy to understand, in his sci-fi and in his popular science literature.
So, we’re like 4D neurons branching into new timelines based on our new actions and behaviors each time in a predetermined loop for a purpose and the greater good of the higher being we exist within..
Nice, love that film and enjoy hearing about different aspects of it. Also time dilation occurs if you approach the speed of light (with respect to your origin I think) or just go fast enough away from it. That's another energy problem though.
7:40 It wouldn't require much at all. The movie doesn't stretch any laws here for film making. To the crew on Miller's planet, time is passing like ever before. The "extra energy" that it would require doesn't equate to more propulsion needed. It's all relative. Just like how the Earth and the moon are almost exactly as far away from the sun, trapped in the same gravitational well, but it's takes virtually no effort to launch from the moon compared to earth. Miller's planet is the same, but instead of the Sun warping spacetime that guides the planet, it's a blackhole. The size of the blackhole also determines how close you can be before being "torn apart." In some cases, you'll be spaghettified. In others, you'd be able to physically cross the event horizon LONG before being spaghettified. It's clear Miller's black hole is the latter :)
1:42 If there are any physicists reading this, please chime in here and shed some light on things. And please correct me if I get something wrong. Would the laser experience red shift to this degree if it is traveling between two stationary objects? I thought red shift occurred when, either, the source of the light or the observer are moving away from the other. And you get blue shift if you or the source of the light move toward one another. I remember reading something about astrophysicists being able to discern a star's movement, toward or away from us in their orbits, by the way the light from them changes from blue shift to red shift and vice versa. Is this correct? And, if so, would a laser beam fired from a stationary location to a stationary target, experience any red shift? I would think the answer would be, "No.". Red shift is a lengthening, or stretching of the beam, caused by the source of the light and/or the observer moving away from the other. I imagine the light "losing energy" over distance,though, similar to sound growing more faint over distance. Sounds get weaker over distance but don't experience a "Doppler effect",unless there is movement by the source of the sound or the listener. I realize that two objects floating in space,like shown in the animation, would be technically moving due to universal expansion. But I'm not talking about the narrator's two astronauts floating in space. I'm going by his words. Which made me think of this question; Would a light experience red shift if it was traveling from a stationary location to another stationary location? With no change in the distance between them caused by expansion of the universe, or anything along those lines. Two,completely stationary, objects, with a laser beam shining from one to the other.
