When the theoretical physicist and string theorist started talking I’m surprised they didn’t start levitating around the room and communicating telepathically.
I am sure they did, but in an higher dimension and you could actually see it if you understood exactly what they are saying and you could participate in their discussion. Not something that bare mortals can exist in.
Alejandro Acevedo It’s a name. A greek name... of a guy who pretty much revolutionized geometry. Without him, a lot of geometry would have been slowed down.
As a physics student, the kid is the type of kid I always want to talk with. He doesn't know what physics means, but he has a strong intuition and good imagination which are the good starter to becoming a physician. He has talent and is hugely impressive
he even start talking about polar coordinates when talking about angle , kids level but still, like you say good instinct and imagination. And as an non native english speaker i make the mistake on "physician/Physicist" quite often myself, physicist being physicien in french
Everything has pros and cons. Of course he did good but he also sometime just didn't hear fully because was just thinking and hurrying to answer. So he's just human, pretty good in some stuff, bad in other
I mean yeah... to be fair that's all theoretical physics is, "why" "why not" "alright yeah fair". Basically Theoretical Physicists are just successful conspiracy theorists.
I love how people are saying the first part was scripted due to the amount of knowledge the child had. Yet, the Physicist actually looked a bit perplexed at times and truly taken aback. Especially when he began to realise he needs to up his game for this level already and his prepared questions.
To me, it just looked like the physicist felt a mixture of awkward/irk because the kid kept talking about what he knew without being asked, which makes it hard for the physicist to continue what he needed to explain (for the viewers). Kids naturally lack awareness and the physicist didn't want to react negatively towards it.
When I was that age I knew a lot about science because it interested me, like it interests him. Not every child is dumb, which a lot of adults tend to forget

Having a PhD means you're good at understanding things, not necessarily explaining, it''s quite impressive that he could explain his field at different levels.
The entire goal of understanding is to be able to explain - if you can't properly explain the topic, you don't understand it enough yourself, especially in a field as complex and yet easy-to-analogize as physics. The maths behind physics is important, sure, but the real meat is in the conceptualization and the ability to tie topics together, even when it might not seem related on the surface. In other fields, you might be able to get away with not being great at explaining your topic (I don't know - I am, shockingly, a physicist, lol), but you can't do that in physics. Everything connects to everything else, and the whole point of the field is to draw those lines.
@@TempuraFriedJoystick ...Wait. Can you explain that to educators? I'm pretty sure they operated on the principle of 'Just do the maths; don't worry about the reason why it works; the goal is to increase your marks on the exams'--and by pretty sure, I mean that's as close to an exact quotation as I can remember, whilst I was still in secondary education.
@@3mpt7 I suppose it would definitely depend on your school. I was very lucky to have an AP Physics teacher in high school and a wide faculty of physicists in college who were extremely passionate about the topic. We went over the math to be sure we could do it, but the vast majority of our time was spent drawing connections and trying to really drill the meaning of the concepts into our heads.
@@3mpt7 I never understood the point of the math that my teachers taught me. Like they would be teaching pythagoras thereom or whatever but never explain why this is something that can be used in science or why it was important at all. I just learned the numbers and the letters and learned what they equal. Not what they mean in the real world and I wish math was more orientated towards what this means in the real world.
Each individual he explained dimensions to was just a different level of humbling to me. I fully expected to be amazed by the guest physicist. I did not expect to be impressed by every individual he was explaining to. Fantastic video, thank you all so much.
That 9 year old is smarter than he's supposed to be at that age. At that age all I remember doing was trying to turn super saiyan by shouting extremely loud
Love the banter at the end with the other physicist. Started off kinda contrary but ended as a cordial, intellectual conversation I really appreciated 🙏
the expert level is basically watching two professionals passive-aggressively diss each other lmao edit ok I made this comment as a JOKE y'all in the comments need to chill
You could feel the tension in the air. White guy was like "so we came up with this scenario" and the black guy was like "why is it starting there?" and the white guy was like "why not", black guy: "okay". Both laugh nervously.
@@esequieltovar4955 Quantum Physics can't be explained with 3 dimensions, that's just one example. If we didn't understand dimensions beyond 3, the laws of quantum computing wouldn't be possible.
I like how they outwardly express that they feel that the other probably knows more than them. It really makes a case of the Dunning Kruger curve, the exponential increase in questions to be answered as their knowledge broadens wisens them up to a state of natural humility, a willingness to be proven wrong, not taking pride in their knowledge itself but rather their pursuit of greater knowledge.
while Ken Wheeler and his monistic cosmology is laughing on this stupid crackhead brofessor that has no idea what space is. And more precisely what space isn't. Tesla would be facepalming hard with the degeneracy of physicists.
There is something so fun about peaking in on professionals talking about their subject. It's like getting to be on the tip of a spear without having earned the right to be there lol.
It's dangerous to think of knowledge as a "right to be earned". If you or anyone have a conversation with these experts, you can actually help them get a different perspective and therefore enrich their point of view. That's the way science itself works, it's a democratic process where everybody can help each other to understand the world around us.
Right! That's exactly the feeling when you are growing up in a house with (some) incredibly smart expert people. You get a shortcut to a vast knowledge base that's like having a cable car up to mount Everest. It doesn't feel earned and you don't actually feel prepared to stand on top of that mountain of knowledge.
I love that while discussing a complicated topic as the levels progressed Sean Carroll and each respondent still managed keep the discussions understandable enough to the audience
I admit when I saw the title I previously assumed it was just going to be some condescending brag to a kid and some purposefully technobabble to the expert. But they were genuine conversations and I was genuinely delightfully surprised
Sean carroll has some REALLY good videos out there. I like the debates he has where 4-5 physicists all discuss their differing opinions. Great stuff. His wife is also a physicist, so you know this guy spends all his time discussing it.
He has a podcast called Mindscape which is quite good too. It’s not all physics either. He usually brings other experts on to discuss various academic topics.
I dont know if its reasoning or just memory, I dont want to claim anything but it seems like he’s a bit young to know all this through his own reasoning.
I love listening to Sean, I don't always understand everything he talks about but he makes me feel like it's totally possible to learn to understand. That is a very inspiring quality.
This series is like: Naive Observation -> Intuitive Theory -> Still Easy to Understand -> Some Level of Abstraction -> (Suddenly a HUGE Gap) -> Mystery
Me while listening to the: - Child: "what a smart little guy" - Teen/College Student: "sure, that makes sense" - Grad Student: "this is really interesting" - Expert: "I know some of these words"
Physicist: "So what have you learned? What do you know about dimensions now?" Kid: "Well dimensions are simply a characteristic of a vector space that, roughly speaking, corresponds to the maximum number of linearly independent vectors one can have in that space."
And then proceeded to talk about how horrible the public education system is becasue they STILL didn't learn about Hilbert spaces because apparently "infinite dimensional vector spaces are too hard for 9 year olds". Then went to play Fortnite... Also, @Gabriel Gray r/woosh
@@one1oneisme Yeah, I've seen bits and peices of it an I'm seeing it now... I just don't understand how it would even be harder than _normal_ algebra, _much _*_less_* calc one and two or even trig if that's what it's about.
Brian Testa there are a lot of more introverted kids you are right however the socialites of their generations are significant smarter then older generations, there is a extreme amount of manipulative and intelligent kids who are amazing a social behaviour. Frankly kids can function without devices but with the amount of convenience they bring is their really a need too?
I hope that kid does okay and has good parents. He could look back on this with pride just the same as he could look back and be ashamed some day. It's grim and no one want's to think about it, but no one knows where anyone will end up. He's a smart kid and I hope he gets fed good cards out of the deck of life.
I'm a physics graduate and watching the experts' discussions made me feel like sh*t. The more you learn, the more you realize how much you actually don't know.
Don’t feel bad; just use it to be motivated to learn more and one day be on the other side of that conversation. That’s what the 9-year old does, I think. Good luck to you.
That’s part of the wisdom paradox! That’s actually really great to realize and makes you an excellent scientist (physicist) because then you are asking more questions instead of answering things that may already be known. You are key in furthering the field.
@@leiladiab4518 yes that's true. When you think you have the answers, then you realize you just discover even more questions. I guess that's what makes a scientist, a scientist.
My impressions: Child- He's pretty smart for his age Teen- Oh, I remember that College Student- I should know that Grad Student- I will probably not know that Expert- Oh, I've watched Ant-Man
@@pierreo33 precisely, people tend to overuse his quotes and put him on a pedestal as some sort of fountain of wisdom, but in this case it is exactly what they're saying. In science there are not very many answers and when you do look for them you end up with more questions then you started with in general. A lot of the times the things we think of as fact end up being wrong and is why a lot of "science" is just more likely theories with enough concurring data to make them believable. I seriously doubt that in anyone's life who is alive today there will be more definite answers than questions left to be answered. What they are pointing out is that as we go up in education level the people seem to know less and less for sure because they have learned more of the complexity of the universe.
Gotta love how the kid is unconsciously and completely immersed in the Dunning-Kruger effect thinking that he indeed should lecture one of the authors of the pinnacle of research material as a kid who is barely understanding how space works, stupid people believing they're smart.
Sean Carroll is someone who can truly be classed as a 'teacher'. We are so incredibly lucky nowadays that some world-class specialists not only possess a passion for teaching - but an outstanding ability. Sean's among them. He also seems like an unbelievably nice guy - would never be condescending and is wholly without arrogance. Would love to have a beer with him.
Man: Do you know physics? Do you know what that means? Child: Kinda *1 minute later* Child: 3D is the maximum of shapes and everything has a certain dimension.
VACCINATE YOUR KIDS ALREADY! Not in a Quantum gravity framework but all together it is absolutely astounding how much theoretical knowledge we have compounded.
This kid is literally- Physicist: Do you know what a straight line is? Kid: I think you'll find the fundamental properties of the atomic structures based on the counter slot found in the newly discovered 'Eincross Dample™' which is obviously just pure speculative theory may be the basis for all science for decades to come.
Back in the days when I studied physics myself I always thought "wouldn't it be much more easy to teach 4-D if you choose 3-D space an add temperature?" Everybody (adult) understands the concept of 3D space and a temperature distribution.
Me watching the video: "Hey this is pretty interesting although I don't really understand it all." Me talking to friends afterwards: "You fools, you absolute simpletons! Can your feeble brains not count higher than three?"
These are great, I feel like physics is the one subject that just completely evades me. Probably somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy, but everything seems to be opposite of “common sense,” and even if I start to understand something, the understanding seems to slip away in a minute. Videos like this make me want to keep trying though, because I feel like understanding all this would be incredibly mind-blowing.
@@Fuzzysea693is it the formulas and math behind it, or the actual concepts themselves?

Yeah I was interested in physics thanks to my 10th grade teacher but as I went up the interest slowly faded cause the teachers aren't about teaching you to understand physics as a subject, but like to teaching you how to understand as to passing an exam. It got worse as it progressed and now I'm in masters with almost zero knowledge.
@@bloodfallen2686 stop blaming teachers for your failure. If you truly loved physics you would’ve found a way through it. You think every physicist or engineer in the world had perfect teachers throughout their entire time in school? Many had horrible teachers as well, the difference is they stuck through it unlike you. And yeah! Teachers expect you to retain information for a test! It’s school, that’s how you grade someone, and students( especially kids and teenagers) generally aren’t going to study something unless they’re going to be tested on it. How many times have you heard a student ask “is this gonna be on the test?” To see if they even need to retain the information?

I really enjoyed these kind of videos, it's very educational. Even though I didn't understand all of the things they are saying as I'm not capable of storing large information into my brain like they can and because English is not my first language, I still want to watch more. Edit: I also love that the experts in these videos, like, encourage the people they are talking with to think and asks about their opinions or their current knowledge about the topic. They don't start off with explaining stuff and don't just let others listen to them. I wish this is what they do in schools, but I get that they were able to do this because it's a one-to-one conversation and not like any classroom setups where there is only one teacher/prof and then there are 40 or more students listening and wanting to share their knowledge.
I love those people who can explain anything to anybody, and adapt their speech to their interlocutor, not repeating the same definitions over and over again to everybody

Everything connects to everything else, and the whole point of the field is to draw those lines.
@@TempuraFriedJoystick ...Wait. Can you explain that to educators? I'm pretty sure they operated on the principle of 'Just do the maths; don't worry about the reason why it works; the goal is to increase your marks on the exams'--and by pretty sure, I mean that's as close to an exact quotation as I can remember, whilst I was still in secondary education.
@@3mpt7 I suppose it would definitely depend on your school. I was very lucky to have an AP Physics teacher in high school and a wide faculty of physicists in college who were extremely passionate about the topic. We went over the math to be sure we could do it, but the vast majority of our time was spent drawing connections and trying to really drill the meaning of the concepts into our heads.
@@3mpt7 I never understood the point of the math that my teachers taught me. Like they would be teaching pythagoras thereom or whatever but never explain why this is something that can be used in science or why it was important at all. I just learned the numbers and the letters and learned what they equal. Not what they mean in the real world and I wish math was more orientated towards what this means in the real world.

It's dangerous to think of knowledge as a "right to be earned". If you or anyone have a conversation with these experts, you can actually help them get a different perspective and therefore enrich their point of view. That's the way science itself works, it's a democratic process where everybody can help each other to understand the world around us.

Trying to absorb this while doing my typical people watching… it’s curious to see how his feet spread further as he progresses through levels. It’s fine of course, most of us prefer to speak on our level.

Dad: so what did the physics man teach you son?
Child: nothing that I didn't know already
wasn't that one of naughty Albert's dialogue :?
Dad: so what did the physics man teach you son?
Child: Oh, he’s really smart for a 9 year old kid
Facts
Nothing mommy, he still thinks math represents reality, poor soul, trapped in platonic thinking at his age? Sad. Goodnight mom, love you
