      *"Basically what MIT did is real"* is a monumental stretch. They were able to make single digit numbers of photons connect. Its far too subjective to espouse Wolfe created hardlight. You can read the literature on the topic on arXiv. Exciting, but *"Hard Light"* is a stretch. They connected photons when shining a laser through a medium. It's exciting knowing someday in the comically distant future we may be able to utilize this for something, but connecting three photons, yeah....

Protecting him from the destruction and rubble of The Mantle's Approach. However the bubble of hard light only lasts a few moments until Cortana is pulled into slip space and is teleported to the Domain.

    • @protoborg
      @protoborg Рік тому

      Photons already have mass. That's why solar panels work. That's why comets have tails. That's why we can FUCKING SEE! The mass of a photon is what makes things HOT when left in the sun for a long time. Duh. While they do not have inertial mass or relativistic mass, they have mass due to having momentum. So in theory they lack mass, but in practice they do not. Slowing a photon down would actually REMOVE its mass...or the effect of its mass. If you slow it down, one of two things will happen based on Einstein's equation. Either it will explosively release energy or it will become truly massless. In other words, slowing a photon down will NOT produce a solid. Instead it will functionally create an immense explosion or simply cease to exist. Since mater AND energy cannot be created or destroyed, slowing down a single photon would be like lighting 100 sticks of dynamite inside a small airtight vacuum filled box. You are going to essentially destroy everything within 500 feet of the photon as it releases all of that stored energy all at once.

    Your massless videos might not blow my 'head off my shoulders', but they sure blow my socks off! Keep up the good work man!
    Edit: I think that the light to hardlight change doesn't have to be instant or explosive like you said. Instead of slowing down light, wouldn't it be possible for them to gradually adjust their boson field emitters to make the light 'hard' over the course of a second, or maybe just an appreciable fraction. The way the 'bridges' extend kind of lends credence to this.
    It just seems like slowing down light would be more work when they can already precisely control their boson fields. Maybe they can make a gradient, maybe they can make it flicker like a refresh rate. As long as they can get atoms and other particles out of the way before they cause an explosion, everything should be fine.. right?
    Edit2: I now realize you were proposing these as separate mechanisms, not a redundancy 😅

    • @protoborg
      @protoborg Рік тому

      You can't slow photons down by much. Though photons do slow within an atmosphere, it is not by a significant amount as the slower the photon travels the lower its mass becomes and the higher its energy becomes. As photons slow from the speed of light, they begin to shift from a particle of matter to a unit of energy. When matter becomes energy, you get a VERY big explosion.

  • @duanegrant7319
    @duanegrant7319 Рік тому +28

    Interesting video. There are a few things that I believe should be cleared up, though:
    *Just because something has mass, doesn't mean it interacts with the strong nuclear force. Such a particle must also exhibit what is called "color charge" in order to interact with gluons (strong force mediators). That limits it only to interactions between quarks and gluons.
    *The strong force also isn't what prevents fusion of nucleons; if anything, because of its high relative strength over short enough distances, it is one of the forces that enables fusion. The electromagnetic force, on the other hand, is what mitigates fusion between nuclei below energies that force them past the repulsive Coulomb barrier formed by the EM interaction.
    *The strong force is also largely *not* the field that allows you to interact with other objects, that would be a combination of the Pauli exclusion principle and the electromagnetic interaction. The mutual repulsion of the electrons of your hand and the phone/table/cup, at short distances, is only part of the equation; the main thing that does the job, is the restriction of fermions, like electrons, to a single spin, location, and momentum state. That is part of the reason, in fact, why chemistry works the way it does.
    Other than that, I like the speculation of the working process here, especially either discovering or even *inventing* a quantum field to couple photons with mass. Putting a bit to the imagination, that would indeed possibly allow visual mimicry of nearly any material, like a kind of visual programmable matter.

    I consider myself pretty intelligent and a Halo lore nerd but you caught me off guard about hardlight structures. Like you said, we're used to them being transparent bridges or shields but solid "holograms" make a lot of sense especially in the Halo world. The real world science part was brilliant and made me think; "would hardlight be hot or cold?" Given that our current techniques is to use particles at almost absolute zero, it should be cold but light/photons carry a lot of energy that could burn. I guess frostbite burns too, either way I'll be wearing shoes if I ever cross a hardlight bridge

    • @protoborg
      @protoborg Рік тому +1

      Holograms do NOT make sense as a hologram is not a physical thing. A hologram is more akin to DNA in that it guides light to form into a shape that when interpreted by ours eyes forms an image in our brains. The reason you can "reach through" a hologram is that it is not the actual image. A photo is a collection of pigment points that form an image in our brains. The paper (or other media) on which the image is printed is the object that contains the pigment. The screen on which the image is displayed is the object. The image on the screen is merely points of light that are given certain colors that our brains then create the image from. A hologram is an image created through the interference patterns of two lasers that are used to image an object. The resulting three dimensional effect is wholly derived by your brain from that interference pattern. It does not exist within the image itself. The kind of holograms you see in Star Wars and other fiction are simply not possible without some sort containment system. Thus, it would not be the hologram you would be walking on. It would be the force field or whatever that was being used to contain the hologram.

Has nothing to do with how it's interpreted by senses. Keep in mind, this is about a sci-fi interpretation, not modern technology. Hologram makes sense in a way to describe a projected image, as is used in much of sci-fi as a common term for both light projection and simulated physical attributes, including hardlight

    3:58 I thought I would clarify this; the strong nuclear force holds quarks together inside of subatomic particles, while also allowing certain particles (neutrons and protons) to stick together to form nuclei by virtue of the charge differences caused by quarks. Atoms do not fuse because of the electromagnetic field emitted by the positively charge nucleus as well as the negatively charged electron cloud orbiting the nucleus (the coulomb field). Strong force doesn't keep atoms from fusing, the electromagnetic force does.

    It should be noted that photons don't actually slow down when light travels through a medium. The photon is absorbed by a part of the medium and retransmitted which then is absorbed by the next bit of the medium it's traveling through and so on. The absorbtion/retransmission of the photons is what makes it seem like the speed of light has changed but it really hasn't. Light travels between the bits of the medium at c, it's the interaction with the bits of the medium that can take longer. The photons in the experiment didn't attract each other gravitationally, they became entangled during the passage through the medium because of the interactions they had with the medium. Once they exited the cloud the photons kept on behaving as light always does, they just were traveling in pairs/triplets.

  • @jedstanaland2897
    @jedstanaland2897 Рік тому +1

    Something to think about is that the reason why the speed of light changes depending upon what media it is traveling through is because it is interacting with the substance that it's traveling through. It gets a lot stranger because this interacting force is capable of producing a magnetic field of absolutely ludicrous intensity. We are talking about a magnetic field powerful enough that you can push against it and not be able to tell that you are pushing against something that isn't solid or liquid or something else. This typically requires the use of plasma and will absolutely produce a significant amount of additional light. This is a similar way to how a force field from startrek works. You could potentially toon the field to only allow one type of atomic material like say it will only let oxygen through but not hydrogen or anything else or only water but nothing else can get through. You can basically tailor it to only one or a predetermined list of materials you could also use it to heat or cool an object as it comes into contact with the field or passes through in addition to making the transfer from one side to the other one way or free exchange of your selected materials. A good example of this is only allowing oxygen to pass from the left side to the right while only allowing hydrogen to pass from right to the left. You can easily make a more complicated system where the materials from one side are forced into bonding in a certain way somewhere inside the field and then they pass out in another place or reenter one of the previous locations. This is all dealing with plasma dynamics and magnetic fields and very little else. I don't have any way for the mimicking of colors or patterns of colors except for the possibility of using different plasma creation materials and magnetic fields to shape the locations and have certain colors only being displayed in certain areas.

    Essentially hard consists of exotic parts called polaritons; particles made partially or entirely out of photons. MIT created them by shining short pulses of infrared through rubidium atoms that where put into a rydberg state. A rydberg atom is a pseudo state where the outer most electron orbiting the atom is stuck in an excited orbit. When the photons strike this already excited electron, it takes enough time for the photon to be re-emitted that other photons can be absorbed by the same electron. When these photons are re-emitted, they are emitted as pairs or triplets of photons bond together as if they were quarks in a subatomic particle. The mass and velocity of the new polaritons is proportional to the energy of the initial energy of the photons (E=mc^2). The video mentioned that the rubidium had to be very cold; this is because the rydberg state is very delicate and any heat of vibration could ruin the effect. It also kinda explains why we don't find polaritons in nature, despite them being surprisingly stable as far as exotic partials go. Apologies for the long explanation.

    This video plus Reploid REVO's What Exactly Are....Busters?, and What Exactly Are...Gems?, with TREY the Explainer's What are Gems? (Scientific Analysis) video has everything i need to know for Steven Universe's Gems Gemology.
    If you add Certifiably Ingame video called Hidden Tech of the Holodeck, you can also Simulate how the ships in the show are bigger on in inside than outside.
    Thanks for the amazing video on hardlight it is one of the few videos on the internet showcasing most of the closest technology/science on the subject.
    Edit: I said the What Exactly Are...Gems? video was the less useful I was wrong it was the more useful video from Reploid REVO.

    Photons do in fact have a detectable mass! The density in "Laser" terms if concentrated enough in a given space can, in theory, create hard-light. I did a thesis in High-School about "splitting" photons.

    Hey! I liked your explanation about quantum physics, but I would like to point out that elementary particles do not "Form" fields, they are the field, to be more clear they are the "quantitative units of energy of the fields themselves" after all everything is basically oscillations in the fields.
    I imagine that this kind of construction could become possible once we solve the problems with energy, it could happen in the near future when our fusion reactors get more and more efficient.

    hey there! i loved this video--it did a great job at breaking down much more complicated topics than i think im capable of learning on my own, and it's helped me clarify the hypothetical operation of hard light in a sci-fi story of my own. i know im about seven months late, but i was hoping maybe there was a chance you (or someone else who has a theory) would see this. one thing i'm still stuck on is... without another medium to meet it or stop it, how would hard light particles be able to be projected into the air and create a 3D structure that has a definitive shape and/or top, without the particles simply escaping into the atmosphere? as you said, photons want to travel at the speed of light. with nothing to cool them back down again, wouldn't any vertically projected stream of cooled photons eventually regain energy as they warm, lose mass, and return to traveling as a photon? if they would--how would one "stop" the photons in midair to maintain a rigid, definitive 3D structure?
    thanks again, have a good one!

    I think that hardlight could be misleading and the main set of particles creates a resistantive force and the light particles are just used to highlight along the space where the force is flowing. Shields in star wars universe are proposed to be made out of resistant particles or ions which push things away, and reject them acting as a field, the light doesn’t show until the shield is shot at. The hardlight could just be getting outligned, like energy swords, magnetic energy guides its, or from the process of making a particle resistant vibrates the particle in such a way giving it a glow

  • @moguldamongrel3054

    The easiest way to make hard light, is to keep light at ridiculously cold temperatures. This slows the photons to such a point that they take form and shape, as their vibration and rotational speeds begin resembling physical matter.
    That's just my guess. Watching your video now.

    I have a question about the photons that are emitted from the hard light bridges. Clearly they don’t have mass as they would otherwise be destroying everything in a massive radius, that means that the photons emitted by the hard light constructs must lose their mass somehow. Do you think it’s a process similar to radioactive decay? Where the photonic “molecules” are decaying into regular photons without any mass and giving the bridges their glow. In that case the projector would have to be constantly generating new hard light layers to replace the ones that have fully decayed.

  • @hummingbirb5403
    @hummingbirb5403 Рік тому

    Just wanted to make sure that people know it’s the interaction between electrons in materials that allows traditional materials to be solid, the strong nuclear force can’t reach out past its own atom’s electrons and as such the solidness of normal matter is dictated by the repulsion of negatively charged electrons. The barrier that makes it so hard to get fusion reactors again is made by the electric repulsion of protons from 2 nuclei, the strong force holds a nucleus together.
    I also don’t think that forcing photons to lose energy translates into a mass gain, E=mc^2 dictates that a loss of energy would also be a loss of mass. For example, most of a proton’s or neutron’s mass comes from the binding energy in gluons holding the quarks together. By taking energy out of the bonds you effectively decrease the overall mass of the system. I do not have a proper education in particle physics, but my best guess for how the light-rubidium gas thing works is messing with the spin of a clump of photons, similar to how a Cooper pair effectively changes 2 electrons’ spin states in a superconductor. Cooling a superconducting material does not directly create the superconducting property, rather it prevents the insane background noise (the heat) from drowning out the exotic interactions that you want to happen
    It’s probably difficult to explain quantum spin states in layman’s terms, but I think a future attempt might be improved by pointing people in the right direction, such as explaining how electric repulsion and chemical bonds make things solid instead of the strong nuclear force, and adhering strictly to the math you bring up (E=mc^2 in this case, as c is more a measure of the speed of causality and can’t be manipulated, it might accidentally paint an inaccurate picture of physics to a layperson). I do think that you did well in the potential explanation of Forerunner bridges with some minor tweaks, I’d say they take the material around them and rapidly cool them or do something else to prevent the background noise from drowning out the desired quantum interaction. This new hardlight layer could be a good thermal conductor, or work well in propagating the interaction that makes the light gain effective mass. Between 2 hardlight projectors the solid light grows from each projector and meeting in the middle, similar to how water freezing or metal cooling can be controlled by adding nucleation points in specific positions.

    Err few issues. What let's your hand interact with the table isn't the strong nuclear force but actually still electromagnetism. The strong nuclear force is attractive. We can't think of it like positive negative because it's not. The strong nuclear force acts over short distances, specifically the coulomb barrier. What keeps your hand from pushing through the table is electromagnetism. But more specifically, LIGHT. Photos are the first carrier so any em reaction of any sort is mediated via photons. Each of the forces has their boson. For strong nuclear it's a gluon. For weak its w and z. For light it's the photon! For the Higgs field it's the Higgs boson 😅 and we are now on the question if there is a boson for gravity and or time (graviton and tachyon)

    If we can manipulate photons to travel slower than the speed of light, then that should be evidence enough to prove that we can make objects we mass travel faster than light safely. The problem is that it revolves around an area of physics and quantum mechanics that haven't discovered, don't understand, or haven't identified yet.
