good on me
Imagine terminal velocity for over 4 minutes
Amazing
even more amazing if you understand general relativity
and what that means
gravity blows my mind
that him falling is actually a straight line
in curved spacetime
its really spacetime that is curved
he should have been wearing an atomic watch to see if there would be a time difference once he got back on earth
definitely is
its like 0.0s on a second
but there is one
I should check the flight path
See how much he drifted
the GR part is easy to remember.... time dilation is equivalent to lorentz transform of the escape velocity fior the massive object
which is why you can see time stops at event horizon where escape velocity is zero
```gravity blows```

😄
gravity is more of an entropic/information concept than a force
it would take a lot of time to explain
nah this is all mainstream
thought the sun caused it (;
if the sun went away so does gravity i heard
Read this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.01198
i have a small understanding, being a science/IT undergrad in physics and computer science. but physics is way too mind blowing. i just do what they want me to do at uni without really grasping most of the stuff.
basically its like this..... in QM the more energy there is in a small area, the more ways there are for reactions and interactions to happen.
this density of possible configurations curves spacetime
because more things are possible, an object will seem "drawn" to the concentration of energy
because that's the most probable outcome
i.e. say there's 7 possible futures where the object gets close, and only 3 when it goes away
from what i've learned, you can pretty much just do an anova on any physics data and it gives you anything you need to know about the system. I'm not much of a modeler.
iterate this smoothly over time, you'll see an object fall smoothly towards energy
but to truly understand this, you have to blow apart your classical understanding of how time works,
get real confortable with spin statistics theorem of boson and fermions is a good start
yeah you can do anova
if you have enough data
its not as good as theory though
ill just stick to newtonian
i'm happy bending time. but i'm not so happy with ideas like cutting time in a place and reattaching it somewhere else. quantum physics is really unintuitive. i'm probably just a physics normie though.
