According to Einstein’s theory, what happens when you follow his math about gravity?

• Gravity doesn’t exist.

• Space and time curve.

• Gravity only affects objects with mass.

• Gravity is the result of electromagnetic forces.

The video discusses a phenomenon where a person experiences a distorted view of reality due to the curvature of space and time. What is this phenomenon called?

• The bending of light

• Time dilation

• Gravitational lensing

• The Doppler effect

The video demonstrates the impact of following Einstein’s math in extreme conditions. What example is used to illustrate this concept?

• A rocket traveling at the speed of light

• A black hole’s event horizon

• A person standing on the moon

• A spaceship flying near the speed of light

How does gravity affect time, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity?

• Time speeds up in areas with higher gravity.

• Time is unaffected by gravity.

• Time slows down in areas with higher gravity.

• Time is inconsistent across different locations in the universe.

What experiment or observation is referenced in the video to show that light is affected by gravity?

• The bending of light around a planet

• The detection of gravitational waves

• The observation of light’s speed in a vacuum

• The interaction of light with magnets

What was the primary conclusion or key takeaway from the video?

• General relativity is wrong and needs to be revised.

• Einstein’s math accurately predicts phenomena that defy intuition.

• The speed of light is slower than previously thought.

• Gravity can be completely explained by Newton’s laws.

What does the video suggest about our everyday perception of gravity compared to how it actually works in the universe?

• Gravity works the same way everywhere.

• Gravity is much stronger than we experience on Earth.

• Our everyday experiences are limited in scope and cannot fully capture the effects of gravity.

• Gravity only affects objects in motion.

How does the video illustrate the concept of time dilation?

• By showing time speeding up in a vacuum.

• By showing clocks running faster in space.

• By demonstrating clocks running slower near massive objects.

• By explaining that time is constant everywhere.

Which of the following is the correct form of the Einstein field equation?

• a) E=mc2E = mc^2E=mc2
  

• b) Rμν−12gμνR+gμνΛ=8πGc4TμνR_{\mu \nu} - \frac{1}{2}g_{\mu \nu} R + g_{\mu \nu} \Lambda = \frac{8 \pi G}{c^4} T_{\mu \nu}Rμν​−21​gμν​R+gμν​Λ=c48πG​Tμν​
  

• c) F=maF = maF=ma
  

• d) F=Gm1m2r2F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}F=r2Gm1​m2​​
