PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.The irony is that this thought experiment about light being deflected in a gravitational field doesn't lead to anything verifiable. In... -

Skeptical.
Yes, I was in a bit of a rush - though I probably couldn't be that precise anymore anyways. (Was I ever? Probably not, not that it... -
PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.The video was posted 5 years ago and has already been described in the comments as a "masterpiece"! That said, it would be interesting...

I like seeing crackpots banned. Especially when stupidity is triumphing in real life. -

And making the animations appealing rather than accurate. The rocket doesn’t appear to be accelerating, or at least if it is...

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.I already read and replied to his response.

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.I missed that. I assumed he was still talking about inertial rocket motion at that point. This is the problem with spending all the...

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.I've just been out for a bike ride and I was wondering about that as I was cycling round!

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.I just watched a bit of it. I must admit, I'm not predisposed to watch a video where someone claims everyone else is wrong! It's quite...

PeroK reacted to A.T.'s post in the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake? with
Informative.
This is true for the total global deflection over a large region around a mass, where the effects of spatial curvature become... -

The video is somewhat lax in the explanation. Good catch! We can take as true for the spacecraft thought experiment in that light...

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.I watched the relevant part of the video. The video is correct, in what it says about light as measured in inertial and accelerating...

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.I didn't watch the video, but I assume it's correct. Light moves in a straight line in an IRF.

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.PS note that this scenario in itself is not peculiar to special relativity. In classical physics, a light beam could bend in an...

PeroK replied to the thread Undergrad Is this another "paradox" or a veritasium mistake?.The inertial observer would see the same emission and impact points, but that impact point would have moved (relative to the point of...
