Episode notes
Relativity's Core Principle
- The principle of relativity, going back to Galileo in 1632, states that you cannot tell how fast you're moving just by observing your surroundings.
- This is counterintuitive, as we expect to feel motion, but it's fundamental to understanding the universe.
Space's Puzzling Nature
- Space, seemingly empty, can expand, bend, and ripple, as evidenced by gravitational waves.
- This challenges the notion of space as pure nothingness, creating a puzzle in physics.
Moving Through Space
- One puzzle in physics is how we move through space without experiencing resistance.
- A possible solution is that we're made of waves within the universe itself, similar to how seismic waves move through rock.
