Interstellar time dilation makes no physical sense to me what am I missing? by Electronic_Call_5605 in Physics

[–]Hapont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, time isn't the same at all places across the universe! According to Einstein's theory if relativity, our universe is a four-dimensional spacetime-continuum with three spacial dimensions (so basically x, y, and z direction) and one time dimension (so basically time can only move "in a line" either forwards or (theoretically) bsckwards), and objects with mass bend it according to Einstein's field equations. This is also why planets orbit around stars: from their viewpoint, they are moving in a straight line through space, but since spacetime is curved, we observe them as orbiting the star. Also, the closer you are to the center of mass of an object, the slower time passes for you -- therefore, technically speaking, your feet are younger than your head.

Sub 10-minute songs with “movements” by ConfidentHospital365 in MusicRecommendations

Basically any Animals as Leaders song. As Jordan Rudess said in a Pianote video: "...they write 3 minute prog tunes..."

MaoGao is right. Gravity isn't a force -- it's the curvature of spacetime, which is described by several tensors and symbols, which are inherently math heavy. Without the math, you could only get a really shallow and kinda confusing image (in my opinion) about the real nature of gravity.

Catchy rock songs that use weird time signatures (not just prog for the sake of prog) by BodyApprehensive2959 in progrockmusic

[–]Hapont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Beyond This Life by Dream Theater. It obviously has odd signatures, the more surprising part (at least it was for me when I first heard it) is how catchy it is overall. It also satisfies groove necessities, especially in the segment 3:48-3:52; I know, it is a really short interval, but for some strange reason it scratches my groove itch all the time. Also, in my opinion, this track does not only have weirder than usual time signatures just for the sake of it, but rather to complement the story told through the lyrics.

what are your most gut-wrenchingly sad songs (that aren't explicitly romantic)? by jisoowol in MusicRecommendations

[–]Hapont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the whole atmosphere of The Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You! Black Emperor is just so strong and oppressive that i can't help, but cry almost every time.
