Astronomy - General Relativity (6 of 17) Proof of Theory: Warping of Space Illustrated: Orbits

To donate:

We will learn the strength of the gravitational field (warping of the space by a large object, i.e. the Sun) gets stronger and stronger as we get closer and closer to the Sun. Not unlike the of a positively charge particle's electric field.

Thank you for all your effort in making these videos! You’ve helped me get through engineering and now I’m a Chemical Engineer!!

Sir I'm an AL student from Sri Lanka and I love your videos.
Could you please do a video on how induced emf varies with distance when different shapes of conducting loops ( like a rectangle, circle, rhombus or for any combination of shapes) enter and leave a magnetic field.
Nobody else has any video online on this topic, so i would be very thankful if you would help.

Isn't that this said curvature is same as distorted magnetic or electric field like we observe in a region where several charges are present altering one another electric field? A charge moving through that region then will somewhat move the way a particle would in warped space caused by presence of masses as they call it?

Will a stationary mass placed in space move straight towards centre of earth or follow a circular path. Is orbital motion of planets due to initial linear motion or intrinsic angular momentum of dust cloud of which they were originally made.

* In the case of our Earth, mass is more concentrated in the equator region. (causes more curvature in the equator region).
* So a light ray coming from the sun towards the polar region of the earth should be diverted towards the earth's equator region.
* So the reason why meteoroids are more likely to strike earth's equator will be due to this phenomenon. (But still, now such a conclusion isn't made by any science community)
** what do you think? *

Sir, a doubt regarding curving of space...I read that in a 3D space, space is curved towards the mass distribution...so in case of earth space will be curved towards it, not around it...so how can the moon possibly orbit the earth in this picture? Please do reply, and pardon if the question sounds stupid...

How can you tell black hole is like funnel, is there any scientific proof or assumption

[saifahmed]

How can we know about stars and galaxy exact location if their lights path are changed by other celestial bodies that warp space in the their lights path

Mr Biezen I always enjoy your clear unpretentious explanations. I'm having the worst time trying to visualize this, lul.
I do sympathize that we don't have any way of depicting a funnel that pours into a 4th dimension.
But what does the part that exist in our 3D look like. I mean what graphic representation can we use to make calculations?
To go from 2D to 3D we imagine that things point into the page, how can we do that from 3D to 4D?


Finally do you personally believe this model or have reservations?
For me I think Einstein had an almost impossible task, spooky gravity that doesn't respect mass & pulls on things equally.
All while remaining hidden. So he conjectured that its not in our domain. it only 1 viable model.
Could there be an extra property of matter we are unaware of? My Best rgds

Sir I enjoy watching your videos. I have a doubt, In a funnel there must be an end point . Can we say that sun is the end of the funnel ( of the solar system)?
Is it possible that the neighbouring funnels can merge
with each other?

Black hole! Or orbital pull, mass such a affect ☺😊😀😁😂5 Smile's
