The Science of Extreme Time Dilation in Interstellar (Revised)

Revised and improved. This video is an updated version of our previous Interstellar video. We've rectified mistakes and included additional segments to do justice to the significance of the topic.

As films go Interstellar had a profound impact on me. “Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space.”

[irisvaks]

Interstellar is one of the best movies

I love our universe's barriers and laws. Its like something made it that way so we don't break the laws of our universe. Keeping us and all other intelligent creatures suppressed.

Almost a decade old and content creators still find exciting stuff to talk about this film (just this week we had Looper, Alan Tsai, and this from Beeyond Ideas). Christopher Nolan et al gave us a gift that keeps on giving.

Still disagree with that explanation.
1 - "Loss of energy" could occur equally with frequency or amplitude.
2 - Is energy "lost" because of the light traveling in free space? If so, it is most probably it's amplitude decreasing, by a factor that is the area of the beam of light spreading.
3 - Gravitational redshift in space mostly occurs from space-time dilation.
4 - The method to "prove" time dilation is erroneous. I could do the same on earth with sound and a doppler effect. On the contrary, two planets with the same time reference could see each other with a redshift due to space dilation in between if they are far enough.

I believe the Timelapse is a little bit wrong: @ 7:52 I spotted 5 seconds to the left and 6: 05: 04: 06 to the right, which corresponds to 6 days and 5h04min and 6 seconds.
Well, let’s admit the 5 seconds are almost 6 in the left (we never know) and let’s admit that 1.25 secs in the left correspond, in the limit, to 22 hours in the right, on Earth (I used 22 hours instead of the 21 hours showed before because it’s an obvious extrapolation to a higher number)
So in the end, 5 seconds to the left would be 88hours to the right (4x 22 hours, the same as 4x 1.25secs equals 5 secs to the left), and 1 more second to complete 6 to the left (in the limit) would be less then 22 hours to the right, but still: 88 + 22 would equal 110 hours to the right, which is obviously less then 6 full days in our time - in fact, that’s less then 5 days if you think about it!
Note that all the numbers I used are extrapolations that would contribute to make the time elapsed on Earth (right) even higher than the correspondence calculated in the video and, even though, for almost (but not) 6 seconds on the left one could never get 6 full days on the right, as depicted @ 7:52 !

In principle it's possible for a Earth-like planet to not be pulled apart by the tidal forces of a black hole near the event horizon as long as the black hole is large enough. However, such a planet would be awfully cold unless it was warmed by a nearby star or the black hole's accretion disk. A star is unlikely, because so close to a black hole its Hill sphere would be too small to allow the planet to orbit in a habitable zone, but an accretion disk would not work either because of the copious X-rays emitted and because large objects tend to get smashed, pulled apart and reduced to a plasma in such an environment.

This is one of those I’ll have to take your word for it videos.

Good video. Time dilation is only a subjective perception in your point of reference. Of course gravity will affect biological functions, shuttle equipment and electromagnetic waves that will make clocks go slower, reactions taking more time or boldly functions to work at a slower pace but the extreme difference from interstellar is impossible. If everything is affected by gravity I don't think there is a way to keep watches in space synchronized with the ones closer to a gravitational field without corrections. Also depending on your speed in the same gravitational field, if you run away from another person, you should see him aging slower than you ( but it is just a perception because you are racing the photons ), but when you change course and run back to that person he will age much faster so when you are back at the start point your age and the other person's are the same as if you had spent the time not moving. it is like speeding a movie clip. When you run away video slows down and if you run back to the reference the video speeds up. If you change the gravitational fields, the one who ages faster is the one closer to it but...the difference is very very very very very very very very very very very small. So if you want to live longer go into outer space but you will gain more life points if you get rid of your "Karen" wife any your abusive job.

As a layman, this reminds me of the observer effect. It's as if the universe is more willing to manipulate time than your perception. Or, that its willing to change time ad post hoc, if it maintains your reality. This reminds me of waves collapsing into particles just by looking at them.

[bigboss-tlxr]

Lovin' this kind of scientific explanation!!!

[pushinP]

Chris Nolan, truly one of my favorites. (sorry Roland I love disaster films too)

[s.royalartisan]

Really like this channel.As an artist you can imagine how I can take science an envelope it with my imagination.

[rickmadrid]

Time dilation question. Instead of saying lets meet in 25 years from now, we agree we are both 20 years old today and we both agree to meet up when we both turn 45 years old even if one of use is traveling at the speed of light. You can be the observer since perspective is so inportant. Is that possible?

[Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

This is an invitation to see a theory on the nature of time! In this theory we have an emergent uncertain future continuously coming into existence relative to the spontaneous absorption and emission of photon energy. Light is both a wave and a particle, with a probabilistic ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π, future continuously unfolding in relation to the electron probability cloud of atoms and the wavelength of light. In this theory, the wave-particle duality of light and matter (electrons) creates a blank canvas that we (atoms) can interact with forming a future relative to the energy and momentum of our actions. This interaction is represented by a constant of action in space and time, mathematically denoted as the Planck constant h/2π. This concept is supported by the fact that light photon energy ∆E=hf is continuous exchange into the kinetic energy Eₖ=½mv² of matter, in the form of. electrons

Imagine speeding away from the earth at the speed of light with a pair of binoculars that could focus in on people on the ground, they wouldn’t be moving, now imagine you go faster than the speed of light and can still focus on the same people, they would appear to be moving backwards in time. The faster you go the faster they should be moving backwards in time but time doesn’t change for either one of you in my opinion only the perception of what you can see.

[granthudson]

black holes are black because something inside is moving the speed of light.

If you were to travel the speed of light, i think all you would see travelling at the speed is black.

Space is black we are inside a black hole. Everything that was and is was recycled from somewhere, a previous universe i dont know, that information came from somewhere.

Off topic i know. I love blackholes

[bryan_ferrer]

When you are traveling through time, Are you really suppose to see the exact reality moving forward/backwards? What images will be constructed visually if you are able to see when you are stuck in that time dimension?

[sharksOfficial]

would time dilation effect their feet in comparison to their heads if the dilation is so extreme?

[anirbanroy]

With such gravity then how astronauts walk on that plannet ?
