      It just sounds weird, but I've had it in my 3rd grade of high school and it's pretty simple and very useful math. You won't use it in everyday situations, but knowing about it changes how you perceive a lot of things both in math and in physics.
      Just what Weinstein says: "we lack language" AND what Rogan says "I lack tools" meaning really "I lack the instinct" are both true: it's hard to discuss certain things without differential calculus just using English, and I suppose it's more and more true in the realm of really advanced math and physics that you need to know some really tough things from modern math to get a grasp of anything, and you don't just get exposed to it by education system because of lack of time.
      Back to differential calculus, as you see there are countries that teach that in high schools (though not anymore in my country's case) and some don't. Somehow it's sad, as it's really nothing like some novelty, it was invented around 350 years ago. So... people like Weinstein and his colleagues are kind of blocked from spreading their knowledge - or suppositions even - to the broader public.

    Another way to understand Gauge Symmetry is this.
    I have an electron here (call it A) and I say "I call my A electron negatively charged"
    You have and electron there (call it B) and you say "I call my B electron negatively charged"
    The problem arises when I measure the charge of your electron from my perspective and based on my definition I find it positively charged and you do the same for my electron and you too find my electron positively charged.
    So when I measure the charge of my electron is negative but when you measure the charge of my electron is positive! If there is a way for you to understand why you made that "false" measurement you can derive a function that explains your weird result, that function will be Gauge Symmetry, there is a symmetry between my local space and your local space that makes us disagree on our measuring results, but now that we know that function, we can apply it and "fix" our measurements.
    Same thing apply to General Relativity, where to different observers measure different times or different lengths of the same clock or the same object, Einstein's equations are that function that shows those 2 different observers how and why they disagree on these measurements, and the reason is Gauge Symmetry.
    Therefore we understand that charge, time and space are arbitrary and can have any value locally if some Gauge Symmetry allows it.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Another example is the photon.
    We know the Earth is round but a photon traveling at the speed of light will see the Earth perfectly flat, so what is the true shape of the Earth? Nothing, its arbitary or It's that visualisation that Eric Weinstein showed in the video, a 4 dimensional Earth that will look both round and flat based on our perspective and our speed.

    A bit too technical for Joe. I'm not saying he is dumb either. Its just Eric is talking about things that require very specific domain knowledge. If you don't know calculus or linear algebra he might as well be speaking gibberish, although Eric does an okay job conceptualizing it.

      @tear728 5 років тому +10

      @@lachyt5247 That's what I mean. If he doesn't understand limits then he won't understand the idea of the derivative. There is a whole bunch of prior domain knowledge one needs, otherwise one won't really be able to understand it. If he doesn't know basic matrix operations he wont know that ab = c is not the same as c = ba. I think Eric explained it okay enough although a little needlessly complicated with the pay raise analogy.

    In this video Joe Rogan talks about weight cutting and brain damage in MMA/UFC. We use a clip from the Joe Rogan podcast - ‘The Joe Rogan experience, or JRE MMA Show - (full episode is The Joe Rogan Experience Eric Weinstein ). In this video, Joe Rogan and Eric Weinstein talk the dangers of MMA/UFC/Combat sports. Joe Rogan talk about fighters cutting weight and dehydrating themselves. Joe Rogan also compares it to CTE brain damage, and compares weight cutting to fighters with brain damage.
    For a long time, people have been saying the UFC should have more weight classes. People want to see a UFC 165, 175 and 225IB Division. Maybe Dana White (the UFC's president will implement it in the future)

    Gauge symmetry is not really all that mysterious. Here it is in a nutshell. Suppose you're at point A and I'm very close by at point B. Each of us has a ruler for measuring objects. Now, there is no guarantee that the units on your ruler will be the same as the units on my ruler. Nature doesn't come with built-in units. We can choose them arbitrarily, and in the most general case, your units will be different from mine. Say you choose feet and I choose inches. So your ruler uses feet and mine uses inches. Now, suppose we have an object that moves from point A (you and your ruler) to point B (me and my ruler). We want to know if the object's length changed as it moved from A to B. (In calculus terms, we want to differentiate the object.) Now, if you and I were using rulers that were both in the same units, this would be simple to answer. We could just compare our numbers. If my number is bigger, the object got longer, etc. But as I said, in the most general case, you and I will be using different units. In that case we cannot just naively compare the numbers. We must also account for the fact that our units are different. In other words, there are two reasons why we might find a change in the number that describes the length of the object: 1) The object's length actually did change and/or 2) the object's length didn't change but we shifted from using one length unit to another. For example, if the object is 1 foot long and its length doesn't change between A and B, you will assign it a length of 1 and I will assign it a length of 12. Does that mean it actually did change, that it got 12 times bigger? No. We're just using different units. And if we don't account for the fact that our units are 12 times smaller at B, then we will "measure" a change that is not real. It's not real because it doesn't reflect what happened to the object's length (which is independent of the units we're using), it only reflects the units (coordinate system) we use to describe it. In physics, we want to write down laws in a way that is independent of what units we use, so that relationships true in one set of units will be true in all sets of units. Only in this way will the laws reflect Nature itself, rather than our arbitrary ways of describing it. Therefore we build into the mathematics a 'correction factor' which is really just an elaborate version of a unit conversion. So when you change units in going from A to B, this built-in correction factor does this conversion for you automatically, so that you now have parity between your units so that when you compare numbers, the difference (which you need to do a derivative) reflects a genuine change in the object's length. In technical math terms, this 'correction factor' is called a 'connection'. In physics, the connection ends up representing what are called 'gauge fields', which in turn represent the forces of nature. So in brief: gauge symmetry is a way of finding out if an object has really changed (i.e. differentiating the object) by accounting for the fact that the reference system (units) used to describe the object may be different at different points (in spacetime), for different observers, etc.

    Eric Weinstein knows his stuff, I think we can all agree. However, he CANNOT communicate in a clear or consistent manner the subject matter. I grew up in and around physics and engineering environments and could not follow what he was saying. I still have no idea what that Planet Hopf video is, let alone what it is showing or why it's important. I would hate to have to take a class or a lecture from him.

      He's intelligent enough to understand, but cannot teach. I know Einsteins quote of "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it'" probably doesn't apply here, but, I mean, Eric goes for the most abstract and, honestly, autistic approach here. It is not a simple subject, by any means, but a great orator could relate this to the every man in a way that they could grasp.

    Poi spinning has a lot of 720 degree rotations. You weave the two strands together one one side of your body, but you have to weave them an equal number on the other side an equal amount to untangle yourself and return to normal. All to give the illusion of continuous spinning on a flat plane.

    I'd go to "guage pressure" as an explaination of guage theory. When you pump up a tire, it is measured in respect to the ambient pressure for convenience. You change the reference point depending on elevation! That is absolute pressure is meaningless but relative pressure (as in a pressure difference) is physical.
    We could measure in respect to vacuum, but then we'd have huge numbers. Also, a pumped tire (as in it is hard) at one elevation will require a different pressure for the same hardness at another elevation. This is why when you go down a mountain your relative pressure "decreases". The reference point is at a higher pressure, so that pressure difference is less. If we had a fixed reference, it'd always measure the same value. Again, our guage transform is a map which changes the reference point of pressure according to the ambient pressure.
    *Note: you can change the reference pressure, but the pressure difference will allways be the same.

    The highest mountain on the planet is Mt. McKinley in Alaska. Also called Denali. This is measured from the base of the mountain "0" to the top "20,310 ft" and does not take into consideration the base height of the land upon which it sits. This means Denali is actually a higher mountain, base to top, than Mt. Everest.
    Technically, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on the earth measured from base to peak, but most of it is underwater so that's a factor that needs to be considered with any "highest mountain base to peak" discussion. Unless the Pacific Ocean gets drained, Mauna Kea is tallest only in a technical sense.

    My issue with the coffee cup example is that it’s not the object’s fault you are uncomfortable when rotating it a full 360 degrees. You instead choose/need to rotate it twice only to make it possible for your arm’s ability of motion all while the cup has returned to its original position twice now.
