Unfortunately, this picture leads to questions about determinism and free will. Is that really how it works? What does the concept of spacetime actually say about the universe and about time? ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS The Ultimate Guide to Relativity: youtu.be/FdWMM6aXpYE Could Flatland Be CURVED?! youtu.be/WcCsELqZnE0 ________________________________ RELATED YOUTUBE VIDEOS PBS Space Time on Spacetime Diagrams: youtu.be/P4rW_pPbD-U ________________________________ SUPPORT THE SCIENCE ASYLUM Patreon: patreon.com/ScienceAsylum Advanced Theoretical Physics (Paperback): lulu.com/shop/nick-lucid/advanced-theoretical-physics-a-historical-perspective/paperback/product-24250687.html Advanced Theoretical Physics (eBook): gumroad.com/l/ubSc Merchandise: shop.spreadshirt.com/scienceasylum ________________________________ HUGE THANK YOU TO THESE PATRONS Warden of the Asylum: [Available] Asylum Counselors: Matthew O'Connor, Nikolaos Vasiloglou II Asylum Orderlies: William Morton, Fabio Manzini Einsteinium Crazies: Wacky, Eoin O'Sullivan, Ken Davis, LT Marshall, Ilya Yashin Plutonium Crazies: Al Davis, Compuart, Ellis Hall, Kevin MacLean, Randall Sylvia Platinum Crazies: Olga Cooperman, Kyle Bowles, Zein Kassim, Rick Dinning, Eugene Boone, Jon Adams, Mr. Orn Jonasar, Vittorio Monaco, Stephen Blinn, Mikayla Eckel Cifrese, Jonathan Reel ________________________________ OTHER SOURCES nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/mercuryfact.html pitt.edu/~jdnorton/teaching/HPS_0410/chapters/spacetime preposterousuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/grtinypdf.pdf physics.stackexchange.com/questions/21376/what-is-the-origin-of-the-naming-convention-for-position-functions ________________________________ LINKS TO COMMENTS youtube.com/watch?v=WcCsELqZnE0&lc=Ugx4VcBiA1jkzK5sCxZ4AaABAg youtube.com/watch?v=WcCsELqZnE0&lc=UgxcRUcWqo_qRAUx4Ax4AaABAg youtube.com/watch?v=WcCsELqZnE0&lc=Ugwq4H4OH4SyKy3zYoJ4AaABAg youtube.com/watch?v=WcCsELqZnE0&lc=UgwMxEQVjmNKTg7808Z4AaABAg ________________________________ IMAGE CREDITS Gravitational Lensing: photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23641 Gravitational Waves: ligo.caltech.edu/video/ligo20160211v5 Black Hole Simulation: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13326 People: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:De_Raum_zeit_Minkowski_Bild.jpg commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hilbert.jpg commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marcel_Grossmann.png commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Levi-civita.jpg commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carl_Friedrich_Gauss_1840_by_Jensen.jpg commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Georg_Friedrich_Bernhard_Riemann.jpeg commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elwin_Bruno_Christoffel.JPG
