The Moons Orbit is WEIRD minutephysics 2024-10-02 | Go to brilliant.org/MinutePhysics to try Brilliant for 30 days for FREE, and to get 20% off an annual premium subscription to Brilliant.We think of the moon as orbiting the earth, following a spiraling trajectory as the earth itself orbits the sun. But this is wrong. Not only is the moon's orbit NOT a spiral... there's an argument that the moon actually orbits the sun, not the earth! The moon's trajectory is more like a 12-sided polygon with curved corners than it is a spiral or even a wiggly line.Support MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysics Link to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supporters MinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysics And facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysics And Google+ (does anyone use this any more?) - http://bit.ly/qzEwc6 Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!

The Color Temperature Paradox minutephysics 2024-07-24 | Go to brilliant.org/minutephysics to try everything Brilliant has to offer for free for a full 30 days, and also get 20% off your annual premium subscription!If you take a piece of white paper into different lighting conditions, it will be an objectively different color in each situation, but our brains are clever enough to make us feel like it's still white - it's still the same piece of paper, after all. To match our experience, cameras have to do this, too, "balancing" the colors of an image so that a white object looks white under a given light, rather than some other color. And the typical unit to measure the color of a light is the Kelvin. Which is weird, because Kelvin is a unit for measuring temperature, not color. What temperature and the color in a photograph have to do with each other comes down to history and physics.Support MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysics Link to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supporters MinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysics And facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysics Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!

Which Planet Has the Best Eclipse? minutephysics 2024-04-05 | Check out the interactive lab here: labs.minutelabs.io/eclipsesSolar eclipses don't just happen here on earth - moons of other planets also pass between those planets and the sun, resulting in various types of solar eclipses on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and even non-planets like Pluto, Eris and various asteroids. So, where are the best eclipses in the solar system? For that, we need a tier list.This Product is supported by the NASA Heliophysics Education Activation Team (NASA HEAT), part of NASA’s Science Activation portfolio.

Geosynchronous Orbits are WEIRD minutephysics 2022-12-22 | Go to givewell.org/minutephysics to have your first donation matched up to $100!This video is about the physics of geosynchronous and geostationary orbits, why they exist, when they don't, when they're useful for communication/satellite TV, etc.REFERENCESFraction of a sphere that's visible from a given distancemath.stackexchange.com/questions/1329130/what-fraction-of-a-sphere-can-an-external-observer-seeOrbital perioden.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_periodKepler's third lawen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%27s_laws_of_planetary_motion#Third_lawKepler's 3rd law (which can be derived from Newton's law of gravitation and the centripetal force necessary for orbit as mr\omega^2=G\frac{mM}{r^2}, and using \omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}) is T = 2pi Sqrt(r^3/(GM)) where M is the mass of the central object, G is the gravitational constant. Alternatively, we can solve for r, r = (T^2/(4pi^2) GM)^(1/3) ~ T^(2/3)/M^(1/3) = (T^2/M)^(1/3).There is a limit (kind of like the Roche limit but for rotations). A rotating solid steel ball or other chunk of metal that has tensile strength (ie that isn't just a pile of stuff held together by gravity like most planets) would be able to spin faster.Calculate how much of a planet's surface you can see from a given geosynchronous orbit/radius? (Obviously for lower ones you can see less, etc) - d/(2(R+d)) where d is distance to surface, ie, R is sphere radius, R+d is object radius from sphere center.Let's plug that in with r being the geostationary orbit radius. That is, we have \frac{1}{2} \left(1- \left(\frac{4 \pi^2 R^3}{T^2 G M }\right)^{1/3}\right)Average density of a sphere \rho is given by \rho =M/(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3), ie \rho=\frac{3M}{4 \pi R^3} aka\frac{M}{R^3}=\frac{4}{3}\pi \rho.So we can convert the "fraction of planet surface seen" to \frac{1}{2} \left(1- \left(\frac{3 \pi}{G \rho T^2}\right)^{1/3}\right)So as either \rho or T\to \infty, the fraction goes to a maximum of \frac{1}{2}. And the point of "singularity" where the orbit coincides with the surface is where G\rho T^2=3\pi, aka \rho=\frac{3\pi}{GT^2}. For a rotation period of 3600s, that corresponds to a density \rho \approx 11000kg/m^3, which is roughly twice the density of the earth. For a rotation period of 5400s, we have \rho\approx 4800kg/m^3, which is basically the density of the earth.Alternately, if we plug the density of the earth in to an orbit of period 5400s, we get as a fraction of the planet seen:\frac{1}{2} \left(1- \left(\frac{3 \pi}{G \rho T^2}\right)^{1/3}\right) = 0.02aka 2\% of the earth's surface.Support MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysics Link to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supporters MinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysics And facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysics Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!

General Relativity Explained in 7 Levels of Difficulty minutephysics 2021-02-18 | Go to nebula.tv/minutephysics to get access to Nebula (where you can watch the extended version of this video), plus you'll get a 20% discount on an annual subscription.This video covers the General theory of Relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, from basic simple levels (it's gravity, curved space) through to the concepts of how curved spacetime is represented by psuedo-Riemannian manifolds with Lorentzian signature (that is, special relativity and minkowski space are the local tangent space), how matter and energy are represented by an energy-momentum tensor, and how these two together obey the Einstein Field Equations. The solutions to the Einstein Field Equations (including the schwarzschild metric, kerr metric, freedman-lemaitre-robertson-walker metric, etc) represent gravity around massive objects like the sun, earth, and black holes, but also the history and expansion and future evolution of the cosmos. The universe on a large scale is described by general relativity - on a small scale, quantum mechanics. And where they meet... there's still work to be done.REFERENCESWald's textbook - General RelativityHartle's textbook - Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General RelativityCarlo Rovelli History of Quantum Gravity: https://cds.cern.ch/record/442809/files/0006061.pdfLeon Rosenfeld 1930 paper on quantum gravity: http://www.edoc.mpg.de/438547Kerr Metric Solution - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington%E2%80%93Finkelstein_coordinatesSchwarzschild Metric - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_metricEddington-Finkelstein Coordinates - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington%E2%80%93Finkelstein_coordinatesSupport MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysics Link to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supporters MinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysics And facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysics And Google+ (does anyone use this any more?) - http://bit.ly/qzEwc6 Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!

The Man Who Corrected Einstein minutephysics 2019-10-15 | Sign up for Brilliant FOR FREE at http://brilliant.org/minutephysics - the first 200 people get 20% of a premium subscription.This video is about how Russian physicist Aleksandr Fridman corrected Albert Einstein about the expansion of the universe. Einstein thought that general relativity implied that space had to be static and unchanging, but he had made a technical error regarding the differentiation of the metric (in particular, I believe he mistook the determinant of the metric for a scalar rather than a tensor density of weight 2). Friedmann didn't make this differential geometric mistake, and the cosmologies he found from the Einstein Equations were more varied in their properties - they could be expanding, or contracting, or (with the cosmological constant), static.Support MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysicsLink to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supportersREFERENCESAlexander Friedmannen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_FriedmannEinstein Wrongly Criticizes Alexander Friedmannhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol13-trans/301Alexander Friedmann Corrects Einsteinhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol13-trans/363Einstein Admits his Mathematical Mistakehttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol14-trans/77Interrogating the Legend of Einstein’s “Biggest Blunder”arxiv.org/abs/1804.06768Cosmological Considerations in the General Theory of Relativityhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/433On the General Theory of Relativity (Einstein)https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/110The Field Equations of Gravitationhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/129The Einstein Field Equationsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_field_equationsPresentation about the Sequence of Eventshttp://web.mit.edu/8.286/www/slides07/Einstein-and-Friedmann.pdfTensor Densities:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_densityMinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysicsAnd facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysicsAnd Google+ (does anyone use this any more?) - http://bit.ly/qzEwc6Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!Created by Henry Reich

How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and amusing illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.REFERENCESHow To (Randall Munroe) - see above for links!Rock melting pointshttp://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Geophys/meltrock.htmlSyracuse University Researchers Make Lava Using Keweenawan Basalthttp://lavaproject.syr.edu/making-lava/making.htmlBEDROCK GEOLOGY OF WISCONSIN MAP: UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–EXTENSION Geological and Natural History SurveyElectric Furnaceamazon.com/Automatic-Electric-Refining-Precious-Aluminum/dp/B07LCKKFWXLarge Geothermal Power Plantsworldatlas.com/articles/largest-geothermal-power-plants-in-the-world.htmlcalpine.com/operations/power-operations/our-locations/california/ridge-lineCoal Power Plant Capacitytalenenergy.com/plant/colstripThe size of an A19 or A21 Lightbulbblog.1000bulbs.com/home/a21-vs-a19Low melting point Vanadate glassiopscience.iop.org/article/10.1143/JJAP.50.088002Support MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysicsLink to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supportersMinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysicsAnd facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysicsAnd Google+ (does anyone use this any more?) - http://bit.ly/qzEwc6Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!Created by Henry Reich

Einsteins Biggest Blunder, Explained minutephysics 2019-08-01 | Thanks to Brilliant for supporting MinutePhysics. Get 20% off a premium subscription at brilliant.org/MinutePhysicsThis video is about how Albert Einstein made a mistake when applying the Field Equations of General Relativity to cosmology (in particular, to a static, constant density universe), and solved the problem by introducing the cosmological constant, rather than allowing for a dynamic universe with a scale factor - that is, the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker universe, first developed by Alexander Friedmann of Russia. Later, it was discovered by the Slipher and Hubble red-shift that the universe is indeed expanding, and even later, by Schwarz and company in 1998, that the expansion is accelerating - aka, dark energy. And the cosmological constant was re-introduced.Thanks to Grant Sanderson of http://www.youtube.com/3Blue1Brown for help with the fancy equation animation!REFERENCESThe Einstein Field Equationsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_field_equationsInterrogating the Legend of Einstein’s “Biggest Blunder”arxiv.org/abs/1804.06768On the General Theory of Relativity (Einstein)https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/110The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity (Albert Einstein)https://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/158Cosmological Considerations in the General Theory of Relativityhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/433Einstein Wrongly Criticizes Alexander Friedmannhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol13-trans/301Alexander Friedmann Corrects Einsteinhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol13-trans/363Einstein Admits his Mathematical Mistakehttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol14-trans/77The Field Equations of Gravitationhttps://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol6-trans/129George Gamowen.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_GamowMach’s Principleen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach%27s_principleEquivalence Principleen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_principleSean Carroll and William Press Paperpreposterousuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/cpt92.pdfSupport MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysicsLink to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supportersMinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysicsAnd facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysicsAnd Google+ (does anyone use this any more?) - http://bit.ly/qzEwc6Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!Created by Henry Reich

Why Do Compressed Air Cans Get Cold? minutephysics 2019-04-03 | Thanks to http://brilliant.org/minutephysics for supporting MinutePhysics - get 20% a premium subscription at http://brilliant.org/minutephysicsSupport MinutePhysics on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/minutephysicsLink to Patreon Supporters: http://www.minutephysics.com/supportersThis video is about compressed air cans (aka gas dusters) and why they get cold when you spray them. They cool off because the refrigerant inside (1,1-difluoroethane) is under pressure and boils off when the pressure lowers, and energy lost to the latent heat of vaporization cools the can a lot. Difluoroethane normally boils at -25°C (-13°F), but under ~6 atm (6 bar, 600 kpa) it is a liquid at room temperature. The gas also cools off slightly due to the Joule-Thompson effect of fluid expansion through a throttled valve. Difluoroethane is heavier than air and water soluble, so it is recommended to use it in a ventilated environment to clean your keyboard, etc. Also, 1,1-difluoroethane is a potent greenhouse gas. It is also known as Freon 152a, Ethylidene difluoride, Ethylidene fluoride, HFC-152a, R-152a, and DFE.Thanks to Tino and Hannah!REFERENCESCRC Air Duster Safety Data Sheethttp://docs.crcindustries.com/msds/5185.pdfLatent Heat of vaporizationen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latentheat1,1-difluoroethane chemical and physical propertieswebbook.nist.gov/cgi/cbook.cgi?ID=C75376&Mask=3FFF1,1-difluoroethane on wikipediaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,1-DifluoroethaneFree Expansion of Real Gases, Goussard, 1993http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.17417Joule-Thompson Expansion Course Noteshttp://tccc.iesl.forth.gr/education/local/Labs-PC-II/JT.pdfProperties of 1,1-difluoroethanehttp://www.inchem.org/documents/sids/sids/75376.pdfpubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/11-difluoroethaneMedical Effects of difluoroethanetoxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb:@term+@DOCNO+5205MinutePhysics is on twitter - @minutephysicsAnd facebook - http://facebook.com/minutephysicsAnd Google+ (does anyone use this any more?) - http://bit.ly/qzEwc6Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!Created by Henry Reich
