As the 2025 Spring Sogou Video Creator Conference draws near, physicist and entrepreneur Zhang Chaoyang presented a lecture on 'Light Deflection Under General Relativity' at the Beijing Planetarium. This event commemorates the 110th anniversary of Einstein鈥檚 theory of general relativity and serves as a prelude to the upcoming conference.
Zhang explored fundamental concepts such as the curvature of spacetime, explaining how light propagates in a vacuum along geodesics鈥攑aths that appear curved in three-dimensional space but are, in reality, straight lines within four-dimensional spacetime. He detailed the historical validation of general relativity through observations made during the 1919 solar eclipse and demonstrated complex mathematical derivations related to the Schwarzschild metric and geodesic equations.
The event also included interactive discussions on topics such as the dual nature of light, gravitational lensing effects, and applications of theoretical physics. Zhang engaged with university students, sharing insights into advanced concepts like photon sphere formation near black holes.
At the conference, Zhang will participate in a science lecture segment dedicated to general relativity. He also offered advice to aspiring video creators, emphasizing the importance of active content engagement and fostering community interaction to build a following.
