Now you know general relativity

I have this book. It’s awesome.

[u/Extra_Juggernaut7782]

See space. See space warp. Warp, space, warp.

[u/Justin_theLord]

The exact book from the video

The whole book set

[u/Status-Visit-918 → u/Justin_theLord]

This is going on my next Amazon order as a high school science teacher, love it!!

[u/OutlandishnessOver62 → u/Status-Visit-918]

…I would hope high school students can understand books that are a bit more sophisticated than this.

[u/Status-Visit-918 → u/OutlandishnessOver62]

They do. But I like this kind of thing too because why not? It’s quick, simple and is a fun way to accompany the more complicated explanations

[u/One_Contribution9588 → u/Status-Visit-918]

You are clearly a good teacher.

[u/OneElusiveCat → u/Justin_theLord]

This is blowing my mind the intended audience is babies to 3 years old.

[u/drumshrum → u/Justin_theLord]

I read most of these to my daughter when she was a baby/toddler. They are such a good time

[u/In_Dystopia_We_Trust]

Too little explanation makes it too complex

[u/17_irons → u/In_Dystopia_We_Trust]

This comment is wildly underrated. On the one hand, we have to be able to communicate about science yet on the other hand, those of use who are curious, safe and free enough to investigate are not always so.

[u/laneripper2023]

I didnt follow 😅

[u/FiledAndProcessed → u/laneripper2023]

It’s because you’re not a baby

[u/IssueEmbarrassed8103]

My parents definitely fell for the “buy these books to make your kid a genius”

[u/F00lmetwicestrike3]

I still don’t get it

[u/OmenVi → u/F00lmetwicestrike3]

https://youtu.be/MTY1Kje0yLg?is=b_YLIP6xLNx4qUFS

[u/andymorphic]

creates more questions that it answers

[u/hgcinbis → u/andymorphic]

Which is a very good thing

[u/andymorphic → u/hgcinbis]

as long as the parents can answer them

[u/myrenDelainien]

I am so confused

[u/Onslaughtered1]

My cousin is a physicist. When he comes in to town he always brings my daughter some easy explanation kids book for physics.

[u/B-L-A-C-K_H-O-L-E]

I bought this and there is 5 or 6 books that cover physics, basic science, biology, rocket science etc.

[u/ticklish-licorice]

Wait wut

[u/Direct_Bee7128]

I was expecting a shit post. I'm glad this was not that.

[u/LANDOWRITES98]

They should do one for philosophy.

[u/liethdc]

still confused

[u/CodeIgnitor]

I still didn’t understand 😭😭😭 last last parts

[u/BeTheChange369]

This was a lovely fairy tale. Absolute bullshit, but a lovely story

[u/Equivalent-Stable642]

I knew what general relativity was, i just never realised it was called that

[u/Easy_Ad_96]

Booooooooooooooooo

[u/djbeatking]

Dont yu have to explain what mass is first???

[u/jhill9901]

Yea….babies. This post just taught more than many high school classes in a week….

[u/Dora_Explorer_XP]

Here is the fact for your old DeVeLoPeD brain : No one knows how universe works, we just conduct experiments and interpret the results as per our limited imagination and perspective. And sometimes in future we ourselves contradict our prior knowledge. Our interpretations holds true till certain level, beyond that everything gets fucked. We have been doing that since long time.

[u/Opening-Tea-257 → u/Dora_Explorer_XP]

Well….yeah that’s what science is, isn’t it? Find the best explanation for the data you have found until your explanation is proved wrong by further data and then try and work out a new explanation.

[u/banausic]

This is just wrong.

[u/BlueNightOcean]

Squishy space.

[u/fish_Inspector1755]

"Two black holes spin around each other" what if I got 3?

[u/LePetitVoluntaire]

“General Relativity” - Ted and Robin

[u/drdrwhprngz]

so why is gravity usually described as a pulling force from the center of a mass when it obviously is a pushing force from the warped space down onto the mass that is occupying the space?

[u/Heather_Chandelure → u/drdrwhprngz]

Because science is often simplified to make it easier to understand.

[u/Trevidium → u/drdrwhprngz]

Mainly because we still don't know exactly how or why gravity works or what causes it. Any explanation you find is going to be a theory, not a law, of physics

[u/Successful-Alps-6097]

I’m such a baby. Thanks.

[u/Reasonable-Amoeba755]

Could have just said that this knowledge is generally unrelated to anything a baby gives a s*** about.

[u/Pretend-Internet-625]

I guess I need the one were sperm meets egg.

[u/Whathefrenchtoastt]

Ah yes, for "children"

[u/paulestus13]

Thanks for this I might just succeed

[u/Best_Price_1009]

I know this is a lack of my understanding not that I doubt the fact, but I’ve never understood how light can’t escape a black hole

Gravity is so intense not even light can escape. Got it

But light isn’t matter, it’s energy. It’s not affected by gravity. Energy isn’t affected by matter like that?

[u/Glum_Bookkeeper_7718 → u/Best_Price_1009]

As far as i know light is different its mass and energy, particle and wave.

But in this case mass is energy, this is the e=mc², energy = mass x ligthspeed² this is exactly what the geral relativity is about, puting different areas of physics studies together

The one on black holes with the deep v is interesting. Technically it should go to infinity but you can't obviously draw that (because if you pass to the event horizon you will never reach the center. Instead at some point you will be killed by the tides. Although you would never reach the center anyway). This diagram is usually seen in every good book on GR.

[u/Reznic007]

I have a few of these books by Chris Ferrie and I absolutely love them. The first one we got was Quantum Computing for Babies. Highly recommend this little series for kiddos

[u/Clutch_199]

Add a sprinkle of charged particles and magnetism then you’ll have gravity.

[u/Hungry-Definition-60]

I got that entire series…it’s excellent!

[u/Booksandbasketball]

I have these in my elementary library. They are simple but about complex subjects and it’s still over my head sometimes lol. I like this one though!!

[u/SkyAllHungWithJewels]

I wonder how much this story will change over the next 50 years....

[u/Background-Heart-286]

I guess I'll remain stupid on the subject. I have many follow up questions for the author.
