Symphony of Science - Secret of the Stars

  • 0:01 - 0:03
    Say, do you like mystery stories?
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    Well we have one for you..
  • 0:06 - 0:09
    The concept: relativity.
  • 0:09 - 0:14
    That strange fantastic relationship between time, distance, and mass.
  • 0:15 - 0:20
    Before we're finished, I think you'll agree that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction.
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    Why do the stars shine?
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    Why does the galaxy light up?
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    E equals MC squared
  • 0:30 - 0:34
    That is the engine that lights up the stars!
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    Energy turns into mass
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    E equals MC squared -
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    That is the secret of the stars
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    Now listen carefully:
  • 0:50 - 0:54
    The faster you move, the heavier you get
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    The energy of motion turns into M, your mass
  • 0:58 - 0:59
    Energy of motion
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    Energy equals Mass times the speed of light squared
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    An awful lot of energy
    For a tiny amount of mass
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    Light travels at the same speed
    No matter how you look at it
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    No matter how I move, relative to you
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    Light travels at the same speed
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    No matter who is doing the measurement
    And no matter what direction you are moving
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    The speed of light is the same
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    No matter what direction, or how fast
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    As you travel faster
    Time slows down
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    Everything slows down
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    Time slows down when you move
  • 1:32 - 1:33
    Time passes at a different rate
  • 1:33 - 1:35
    Clocks run slow
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    It's a monumental shift in how we see the world
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    The beauty, the majesty
  • 1:41 - 1:45
    The power of the universe
    Into a single equation
  • 1:47 - 1:51
    E equals MC squared
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    That is the engine that lights up the stars!
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    Energy turns into mass
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    E equals MC squared
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    That is the secret of the stars
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    It's a beautiful piece of science
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    It's a beautifuly elegant theory
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    It's a beautiful piece of science
  • 2:12 - 2:16
    A planet like the Earth is kept in orbit
    Because it follows curves
  • 2:16 - 2:19
    In the spatial fabric caused
    By the sun's presence
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    Space and time are bent by stars and planets
  • 2:24 - 2:28
    As things move through this curved space, they bend
  • 2:30 - 2:35
    Now all of this is illustration of the fact
    that time and space are linked together.
  • 2:36 - 2:41
    As you're moving through bent and curved space and time,
  • 2:41 - 2:45
    You feel like you feel a force
  • 2:45 - 2:48
    As you're moving through bent and curved space and time
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    You feel like you feel a force
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    That force is gravity
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    The beauty, the majesty,
  • 2:55 - 3:00
    The power of the universe
    Into a single equation
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    E equals MC squared
  • 3:05 - 3:09
    That is the engine that lights up the stars!
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    Energy turns into mass
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    E equals MC squared
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    That is the secret of the stars
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    That is the secret of the stars
  • 3:29 - 3:32
