The lesson is taught by a Professor from Taiwan University, which is recorded and uploaded in Youtube. It consists of 30 lessons (videos), each lesson is around 1 hours plus.
I try to follow the explanation and take my own note, and repeat the part that I do not understand.
I have just finished the 3rd lesson and my head is quite pening already, because it involves a lot of imagination, mathematics and 'linking' skills.
The conclusion of the 3rd lesson is the Speed of Light is Absolute!
I was so surprised when this is actually can be proven by Mathematics.
Before Einstein, speed is said to be relative, meaning that the speed of an object is dependent on the speed of the source.
I guess this is true for all the things in the world, except Light.
I guess this is true for all the things in the world, except Light.
If a light travel with a velocity of v in let say east direction, assuming that the source of light is a torchlight, if I move the torch light in the direction of the light (means I move in east direction as well) with a velocity of u, will the speed of light be faster?
Before Einstein, it was 'logic' to answer yes, the speed of light will be faster, the new speed of light should be v+u.
However, this was proved to be wrong (by complex mathematical derivation).
The speed of light is constant, independent of the speed of the light source.
It was concluded that the Speed of Light is Absolute!
In addition, the speed of light is the maximum speed in the universe, meaning that no speed can actually exceed the speed of light (according to the professor, there is a machine called CERN which can actually accelerate particle to 0.99999999 of the speed of light), but still it cannot overtake the speed of light,
And the most 'weird' thing is that Time is Relative! (I have yet to reach this lesson, below is from what I understand so far)
Meaning that my time and your time are actually not the same. (before Einstein, even the greatest scientist will not doubt that time is absolute, means that my time in place A and your time in place B is the same, and this is also our common sense!)
However, in reality, The reading of a Time is Relative to the Position. (This is also proven by Einstein's thought experiment and mathematics)
And therefore, space and time actually cannot be separated, hence Einstein named them as 'spacetime'.
I am amazed!
We thought the Light was Relative, but it is actually Absolute!
We thought that Time was Absolute, but it is actually Relative.
I am amazed by how God revealed to us through this amazing finding, through science. (Science do not deny the existence of God, but even more prove to us that God is indeed exist)
God is light (In fact, light is also a creation of God in Genesis chapter 1).
God is absolute. He is and will not be affected by anything, He will not change (constant) forever and ever, regardless of time.
We always like to use our mind to 'think' God, and we tend to put God in Time.
But in reality, Time is also the creation of God.
God is not bound by time, and therefore He will not change as time change.
God is Beyond Time.
God is Beyond Time.
Many of the people nowadays like to say something like this: "Hey, some of the teaching in bible are outdated （过时了）, they are not applicable to the world today." By saying this, we actually indirectly putting God into time.
As a Human Being, we cannot use our limited 'logical' mind to 'think' God.
In fact, we cannot even 'think' about God, we know God is all because God revealed Himself to us.
There are too many things that we can't and will not understand about God.
We must admit that we are just a creation, and we will never exceed our Creator.
Since God is Light, therefore we need to walk in the light, or to be more precise, walk with Light.
We will never know about darkness if there is no Light.
The only problem is, are we willing to accept the Light?
