What Led Einstein To His Theory of Relativity w Brian Cox and Joe Rogan

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated physics theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to the forces of nature. It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

Joe shakes his head to validate an acceleration in his reference frame.

Joe fighting demons to not mention Bears.

Albert was a genius, but his brother frank was a monster

Love love love Professor Brian Cox! He explains everything so beautifully….

[feliperivas]

“Jamie, pull up that video of a chimp on dmt disproving Einstein’s principle of relativity”

[rachelporter]

Brian Cox is awesome I'm glad he agrees to do your show considering

[mikewazowski]

You could hear the ball bearing in Joe's head

[yashuha]

Relative to Brian Cox's answer, Joe moves into Scooby doo mode.

[tonyspooky]

Joe has no idea what brian’s talking about lmao

Sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and watch the clouds and Sun as they go by you whilst enjoying your favorite beverage of still water.

Occupants in a moving vehicle don't feel a change unless there is a change in speed.

The reason It’s called the theory of relativity is because you can only measure such things relative to other things. Nothing is ever truly at rest. Everything is always moving so there is no fixed point in space to measure from. We can only measure to another thing that’s moving and try to figure out the difference.

The "Time delay" in early GPS proved Einstein was correct. From my understanding, we have to adjust the "clocks" to get accurate GPS coordinates. Satellites orbiting at 14, 000+ MPH cause a time dilation compared to "those" on earth. Correct me if I'm wrong. I read that on the back of a bubble gum wrapper.

[Hwarang-lee.]

Back before joe was stuck in a bubble.

[Khoros-Mythos]

Did they just show an air plane when they were talking about a plane of space...

[stevebenigsen]

Joe: That's over my head. Okay. Now let's talk about bears.

In a conversation on science between Joe Rogan and professor Cox, Joe Rogan is toe-deep on the shore of an ocean where professor Cox is at the bottom of a deep abyss. It's not an unfair fight, it's not a fight at all.

I'm glad i learned this concept from Brian. He gives it so much more meaning then anyone else.

[andreav]

I’ll use this next time an officer pulls me over for doing 60 on a 40 mph 😅

He's talking about being an inertial observer. One example of an inertial observer is a person falling from a building. Because the person feels weightless, another example is astronauts orbiting earth. So from those perspectives Earth is accelerating towards you.
