@@studygodsword5937 I think you haven't gotten a reply because you haven't put forward a real question. Scientists already know how solids, liquids, and gasses work. That is far less complex than this topic. If you take a steel skyscraper and make it very hot, its supporting steel beams will melt, and it won't stand. However, the electromagnetic force itself is enough to keep atoms together as a solid as long as they are not heated to the point of massive vibration, which breaks down the solid structure and forms a liquid. When the vibration from heat becomes even greater, it becomes a gas. Similarly, even oxygen gas will become a liquid under enough pressure and at a low enough temperature. Also, electrons are generally not moving freely through "empty" space. Most, at least on Earth, are bound (via electromagnetism) to protons, making up atoms, which themselves are attracted to each other, either by electromagnetism at small scales or gravity at large scales.

Hey Arvin, can I just say - I’m a bit of a science buff and I watch a lot of science-related vids on UA-cam. Some good, some bad; some great and some awful. But...never any which can so succinctly distill the subject matter into such bite sized portions AND explain it all fully. That must take a lot of carful planning to do. Keep up the great work...with all the crap out there, you provide a great service to humanity.
3:27 could someone explain physically what happens when a force "separates" from another force? In other words, what did the particle soup look like after gravity separated? What about the strong force? I have a tough time visualizing the end result of each stage of separation.
I agree with Inert that this is difficult to visualize. For simplicity, you can think of this like a phase change. This is the process for example, when water is cooled, it becomes ice. Typically, when phase changes occur, energy is released. Such an energy is theorized to have been released when the strong force separated - this phase change caused a release of energy that resulted in cosmic inflation.
When forces are unified, or coupled together, they possess the same relative field strength and the same range. In the Planck era, When Gravity was unified with the other forces, it was just as strong on the subatomic scale as the other forces. Gravity was so strong that it's believed that the density of the universe was 10 to the 93rd kilograms. This is such an enormous amount of gravitational energy, that even if the strong and weak interactions had an unlimited range, and the electromagnetic attraction had only one charge or the other, gravity would still neutralize, or cancel, these other forces out. The second idea behind forces separating refers to field interactions. In quantum mechanics fields are just particular concentrations of energy, which are quantized, and modulated between different modes and frequencies. Particles are "fake," for they are condensed areas of field lines or excitations in these fields. When these forces unified, the fields combined, forming a new, higher energy field, and, by extension, particle. For example it's predicted that unifying all forces besides gravity creates X and Y Boson fields, and thus particles.
I am a businessman, with no studies of physics, and love to learn about the world and how everything works.

Great video, I had read about the strong force but felt like I was missing a huge piece of the puzzle before I watched this. Thanks Arvin, you answer the questions I can't find the words to ask.
The fact that there are around 100 stable elements in nature which depends on the number of protons in the atomic nucleus is due to the fact that the strong nuclear binding force is about 100 times greater than the electromagnetic repulsive force between the protons. There is also the factor of the number of neutrons present in any particular nucleus which affects the stability of the nucleus and the probability of decaying into lighter elements.
I am lost with the maths, not got a clue what physics mean, but I love your video because you explain it in such a way that I do know what you are talking about and even though I don't understand the numbers like 10 to the power of... I haven't a clue what it means but what I do know is how small an atom is, not in numbers written, and I do know the basics of what that atom consists of from listening to UA-cam channels like this. I kind of get the drift and curse the fact that I left school at 13 and prior to that going round the bomb sites scratching for scrap metals to sell was more important than school. The things you talk about are exactly what old men think about, maybe not in the same way but at the fundamental scale we are all human and at some point every intelligent person wonders, "what is life". Thanks for great video Mr Ash.
Sir when I say it I mean it. YOU ARE LITERALLY, BEAUTIFULLY, UNDOUBTEDLY, GENUINELY the best teacher of astrophysics not only it but REAL PIONEER OF UNIVERSE . Y'know my goal is to become a pioneer of universe and ua my teacher
Great video that left me with a few hypothetical questions. 1: Since the formulas for the gravitational and electrostatic force are so similar, isthere's a geometric or general relativityesque explanation for of it? 2: The separation of the different forces were several orders of magnitude of time apart, so can the forces still separate into more forces? Like the electromagnetic force into the electric and magnetic forces or something like that? 3: How did the universe looked when the forces were united and how can we even tell if forces are separate or united? 4: Where does the Higgs Boson come into all of this? 5: What was/were the boson(s) of the united force fields?
You can think of the force expanding in all directions with distance, like the surface of a sphere. This has r squared relationship. Forces will not separate. Elect and mag are same thing - caused by charged particles. I will have several future videos on the Higgs - it plays a crucial role in the weak interaction.
Very much appreciated, I truly look forward to the detailed explanation of many subjects that I have interest in. I realize the limits and read as well. What better time than this. I plan to subscribe to the the lectures referred to here. Thank you
I’m joining in the chorus ! Best explanation of the four forces I have yet seen. Sometimes the understanding of the message is contingent on the messenger- your delivery is always understandable. Thanks for making ideas in physics clear to a dummy like me !- Rich
Fascinating. I've always wanted to know more about the 4 fundamental forces and this was so fun and interesting to watch. One of my favorite channels on youtube right now, hands down.
I like how Arvin shares his excitement on the topic when he says, "that's coming up right now" at 1:23. Anybody else expecting a "Beakman's World" shout in this intro ?
I only recently stumbled upon Arvins videos and I'm blown away. Superb content, if a little confusing for an amateur like myself, and I'll admit I have to hit the rewind button quite a lot!! Thank you Arvin for your wonderful videos 👍
This is my first time watching ur video I'm 17 but I really enjoy in depth things other than school stuff this is the right channel for kids like me THANKS so Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like your videos because you use to explain in simple language and understandble easily. Thanks for this . Hope for come up with more topics for learning.
I loved this video! The presenter did I great job breaking things down and making it easy to understand! It is fascinating content, very well presented! Thank you! And please keep talking!!!
Great video! You are one of the best explaining something complex quite simply. I have a question though, why is a hadron’s mass heavier than the combined quarks that compose it, but a nucleus’s mass is less than the sum of its nucleons masses?
Great question! A nucleus has less mass than the sum of its nucleons because when nucleons combine, they go to a lower energy state. Energy is removed, and this is measured as a lower mass than when a single nucleon's mass is measured on its own. In a hadron, the binding energy and kinetic energy of quark-gluon-quark interactions creates a lot of energy which is seen as a higher mass.
Every time I visit your channel to watch one cideot I end up staying and learning a lot for a long time! Your videos are great man. I love all the different subjects you explore. Keep it up. Thank you
Arvin, I would like to tell you how I feel about the videos you produce. That’s coming up right now: They are always excellent! You never fail to get us to think about the world in which we live. Thank you for all you do~GG.
Have been waiting for this one too be launched, thanks to the teasers coming in. Will be a good watch over weekend, to go over couple of times & relate to other aspects of fundamental forces -
Many thanks for excellent video , several decades ago I had studied this subject in college,in process of earning a living there was a detachment but not a total disconnect and listening to you makes me feel like going back to college days if only it was possible. A request to you if possible slow down the narrative in order to digest each and every important word spoken by you, its so valuable.
Congrats!! You make the hard to grasp concepts a piece of cake. This is food to my old brain. Keep on and on because the minds you educate today will better transform the world of tomorrow!
You did a great job with this video, as always. I think this is a great channel, and it's incredible at explain complex topics simple enough to understand them without over-simplifying them until they get completely wrong. I have only one request: please do not use depictions of the Big Bang like at 2:40. There are already far to many people who see the Big Bang as an explosion resembling a supernova from which planets and galaxies fly out instead of the expansion of spacetime that it actually was. The use of such representations only increases that problem.
Thank you Mrs. Ash for your video, it was a bit beyond my understanding but it helped to look at how particles and physics controls the world we live in. Thanks again, it was a very informative video. Thank you again. :)
I still remember when my 7th grade teacher told us that Big Bang was just one big planet exploding into the 9 planets of solar system...and that sun was previously the core of that big planet. I knew she was wrong, I knew what Big Bang was..but just didn't have the courage to correct her.😥
This is a very good example of half knowledge (or no knowledge) is very dangerous. Even zero knowledge is OK provided they accept it. But allowing such people to be teachers should be treated as crime. My high school physics teacher told us in the class that 'You will never understand physics and it is too complicated' (because he himself could not understand it during his undergraduate physics degree in college). We officially requested our Headmaster to change him but in the end he was our teacher for the whole year. My physics marks were just a few above the minimum passing level. Today I can explain to a kid what contributions Newton, Einstein, Maxwell and Feynman made to physics in a reasonable way that is understandable to their level.
@@ArvinAsh yeah I know....most of the students didn't care because they had no interest in science. This was just one example.She also thought light requires medium to travel and it cannot travel through vaccum. This time I corrected her....by asking how sunlight travels to Earth if light can't travel through empty space. She googled and realised her mistake. FYI...this was 9 years ago!
Positive and negative charges do cancel; however, there is a residual Van der Waals force due to dipole-dipole interactions. Additionally, dynamic (magnetic) interactions also must be considered. In extended objects these residuals tend to be quite small EXCEPT when an extended dipole (static charge or large magnet) is present. This is why a charged comb attracts a neutral paper.
You are correct according to general relativity. In quantum mechanics however it would be different. People are still trying to unify those two theories. Hopefully someday we will have a better understanding of how all this works together.
I get that the maths of general relativity don’t work at the quantum level. But I just don’t understand how Einstein’s much accepted theory could be questioned and attempted to be essentially replaced with something else at the quantum level. If the idea of gravity according to General relativity works in every context from moons and planets to stars, black holes and galaxies I just don’t understand how it would not apply to quantum matter in the same way but to such a smaller scale. How can they say “no...it does not apply here”. If it has mass, it will have a gravitational effect. Wouldn’t the more logical explanation to General relativity maths not working in the quantum world is because we can’t at all measure accurately at this scale.
Your videos are awesome...and you already use maths wherever needed but I request you to use the complex math too to explain the topics and concepts. I think it will enhance the explanation.
Thanks Arvin for this great video! In your discussion of the early epochs after gravity became a force I am curious whether the dense gravity had an impact on time measurement and if so, what time frame is used for those precise explanations of the epochs. Wouldn’t the passage of time be nonuniform throughout the early universe further complicating things?
That's an interesting question. 13.8 billion years is calculated based on current expansion rate of the universe and working backwards. Assuming accelerating expansion based on current rates, the time frame should be fairly accurate. But I could be wrong.
@@ArvinAsh Thanks for the quick reply! Instead of the 13.8 billion years I was thinking more of the time between the plank time when Gravity emerged (and possibly messed with time measurement) until 10e-32 seconds, and I was imagining in that dense gravity some parts of the universe experiencing millions of years while others experienced the tiniest fraction of a second. Wild imagination and maybe in reality the distinction is even meaningless.
Mr. Ash, thank you so much for your videos. Just a little bit hard for me, because I'm not a perfect English speaker, (by the way, the same happens with the videos of prof. Lincoln), but the quality of the info is really great. Thank you for your job and friendly regards from Athens, Greece.
@@ArvinAsh yes calculations will make sure if this is true or nøt Ed: and after watching ur video on Thermo dynamics+time+information I did like to know why Speed makes a diff. Of timw
If you don't comprehend something fully just rewatch that part until the dots connect. This is a way with which you can learn basically anything theoretical
how scientists can combine quantum mechanics with general relativity to explain from atom to big objects like our sun, how can we apply these two theories to our sun and atom
There is no quantum theory of gravity yet, so Relativity and quantum mechanics are treated separately at this point. String theory comes close to treating relativity at a quantum level, so it has the potential to unite the two concepts.
@@kirkhamandy Many theoretical physics consider string theory to be better utilized as a mathematical framework for exploring possibilities to create a better model. But I agree, string theory hasn't produced anything verifiably yet. It's a work in progress. Perhaps it's completely wrong; time will tell.
Please answer me I studied in a book QM not only explains smaller world, it can also explains larger world that's what i am asking, how can we apply quantum mechanics to larger objects like our sun by Schrodinger equation
I'm a writer and I'm currently trying to write a book, needed some understanding of physics.

Helped. And entertaining.
Long ago, the four forces unified together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Universe expand. Only the coolest scientist, master of all four elements, could stop that, but when the Universe needed him most, he vanished. But I believe *Arvin Ash* can save the universe.

There is also the factor of the number of neutrons present in any particular nucleus which affects the stability of the nucleus and the probability of decaying into lighter elements.
I have a better understanding now then before I pushed play. Excellent video Arvin thank you.
One of the best explanations ever about the fundamental forces.
I am lost with the maths, not got a clue what physics mean, but I love your video because you explain it in such a way that I do know what you are talking about and even though I don't understand the numbers like 10 to the power of... I haven't a clue what it means but what I do know is how small an atom is, not in numbers written, and I do know the basics of what that atom consists of from listening to UA-cam channels like this. I kind of get the drift and curse the fact that I left school at 13 and prior to that going round the bomb sites scratching for scrap metals to sell was more important than school. The things you talk about are exactly what old men think about, maybe not in the same way but at the fundamental scale we are all human and at some point every intelligent person wonders, "what is life". Thanks for great video Mr Ash.
I will happily wait through the promo to have Arvin put a smile on my face with his sign off. It works every time!
Thanks my friend. I appreciate that.
Excellent explanation of the four fundamental forces. Keep walking
I love all the forces.
Sir when I say it I mean it. YOU ARE LITERALLY, BEAUTIFULLY, UNDOUBTEDLY, GENUINELY the best teacher of astrophysics not only it but REAL PIONEER OF UNIVERSE .
Y'know my goal is to become a pioneer of universe and ua my teacher
Great video that left me with a few hypothetical questions.
1: Since the formulas for the gravitational and electrostatic force are so similar, isthere's a geometric or general relativityesque explanation for of it?
2: The separation of the different forces were several orders of magnitude of time apart, so can the forces still separate into more forces? Like the electromagnetic force into the electric and magnetic forces or something like that?
3: How did the universe looked when the forces were united and how can we even tell if forces are separate or united?
4: Where does the Higgs Boson come into all of this?
5: What was/were the boson(s) of the united force fields?
You can think of the force expanding in all directions with distance, like the surface of a sphere. This has r squared relationship. Forces will not separate. Elect and mag are same thing - caused by charged particles. I will have several future videos on the Higgs - it plays a crucial role in the weak interaction.
Those are some good questions 👍🏽👍🏽
Your point 2 & 3 is very interesting and important because we are in quest of origin of matter and how they are governed.
Brilliant episode Arvin, I loved this one ❤️
Very much appreciated, I truly look forward to the detailed explanation of many subjects that I have interest in. I realize the limits and read as well. What better time than this. I plan to subscribe to the the lectures referred to here. Thank you
Yes, thegreatcoursesplus is a huge bargain, in my opinion.
I’m joining in the chorus ! Best explanation of the four forces I have yet seen. Sometimes the understanding of the message is contingent on the messenger- your delivery is always understandable. Thanks for making ideas in physics clear to a dummy like me !- Rich
Glad it was helpful!
"And which of these forces do we understand the least?"
"Gravity."
- xkcd
Gravity is the only one that always makes sense to me
@Jawad Ahmed shahzad
Same, but flat earthers are like
"Planet gravity is different from earth gravity"
What is gravity
Johnny Carrion Gravity is the force that connects two things together
ً yeah you are so right when will flat earthers ever realise that the earth is round 🌍
Thank you Sir, for narrating fundamental forces in such an easy language,
Fascinating. I've always wanted to know more about the 4 fundamental forces and this was so fun and interesting to watch. One of my favorite channels on youtube right now, hands down.
I like how Arvin shares his excitement on the topic when he says, "that's coming up right now" at 1:23. Anybody else expecting a "Beakman's World" shout in this intro ?
I only recently stumbled upon Arvins videos and I'm blown away. Superb content, if a little confusing for an amateur like myself, and I'll admit I have to hit the rewind button quite a lot!! Thank you Arvin for your wonderful videos 👍
Welcome aboard!
This is my first time watching ur video I'm 17 but I really enjoy in depth things other than school stuff this is the right channel for kids like me THANKS so Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arvin's way of explaining is much better than other people who have more presence in the media.
lowkey you've made a great channel and you are great at explaining science in more clarity than just about any other channel, including PBSStudios
I like your videos because you use to explain in simple language and understandble easily. Thanks for this . Hope for come up with more topics for learning.
I loved this video! The presenter did I great job breaking things down and making it easy to understand! It is fascinating content, very well presented! Thank you! And please keep talking!!!
Your velcro analogy to describe the strong nuclear force is excellent. Edit....the rest of the video is also great.
Great video! You are one of the best explaining something complex quite simply. I have a question though, why is a hadron’s mass heavier than the combined quarks that compose it, but a nucleus’s mass is less than the sum of its nucleons masses?
Great question! A nucleus has less mass than the sum of its nucleons because when nucleons combine, they go to a lower energy state. Energy is removed, and this is measured as a lower mass than when a single nucleon's mass is measured on its own. In a hadron, the binding energy and kinetic energy of quark-gluon-quark interactions creates a lot of energy which is seen as a higher mass.
Dude!!! Arvin!!! You're the best. Always LOVE your vids ;-)
Every time I visit your channel to watch one cideot I end up staying and learning a lot for a long time! Your videos are great man. I love all the different subjects you explore. Keep it up. Thank you
Arvin, I would like to tell you how I feel about the videos you produce. That’s coming up right now: They are always excellent! You never fail to get us to think about the world in which we live. Thank you for all you do~GG.
I appreciate that!
The first minute and 5 seconds. Already great start. Best analogy I’ve heard for the primordial soup at the big bang
I was always under the impression that mass was caused by the Higgs field. I never considered it was the strong force. Crazy!
Brilliantly explained ...
Love from India 🇮🇳
Highly recommended! Illuminates fundamental particles and forces by placing them in larger temporal-spatial perspective
Haven’t started the video and I already gave it a thumbs up!! Also sharing it with some friends. This channel is great
Awesome thank you!
I didnt know that gravity from one thing affects the whole universe, I thought it dissipates at some distance. This is amazing.
Really helpful video I got from with simplest form of description .thanks a lot sir .keep doing this tremendous work.👌♥️
Awesome vid. Sincerely grateful for your explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
You have one of the most calming voices for a science educator. The video can go on and it never feels tiring. Always love your work.
Have been waiting for this one too be launched, thanks to the teasers coming in. Will be a good watch over weekend, to go over couple of times & relate to other aspects of fundamental forces -
Best video on this topic that i have ever seen. Keep doing these amazing videos. Thanks.
Glad you liked it! Don't miss next week's video - it's a doozy! Much more in-depth.
Thanks a lot for this video. As always a combination of interesting subjects and great narration.
Hey just wanted to say I absolutely love the videos. You make understanding this stuff stupid easy and I'm super hyped for the next vid!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you
Many thanks for excellent video , several decades ago I had studied this subject in college,in process of earning a living there was a detachment but not a total disconnect and listening to you makes me feel like going back to college days if only it was possible. A request to you if possible slow down the narrative in order to digest each and every important word spoken by you, its so valuable.
Excellent video, as always. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Excellent and shortest vdo to understand clearly the nature of matter and relation to complex nature of fundamental forces. Thanks.
Congrats!! You make the hard to grasp concepts a piece of cake.
This is food to my old brain.
Keep on and on because the minds you educate today will better transform the world of tomorrow!
Thanks. That's what I am hoping for!
So glad you broke out gravity here and treated it as you have. Nice!
Now i realized that i donteven know basics forces of physics but completed almost half of it...tq so much for this great video😍😍
I wish I had been taught this at school, everything else in science would have made so much more sense. Thank you, great pedagogical skill
You did a great job with this video, as always. I think this is a great channel, and it's incredible at explain complex topics simple enough to understand them without over-simplifying them until they get completely wrong.
I have only one request: please do not use depictions of the Big Bang like at 2:40.
There are already far to many people who see the Big Bang as an explosion resembling a supernova from which planets and galaxies fly out
instead of the expansion of spacetime that it actually was. The use of such representations only increases that problem.
this guy devoted his life to science and teaching it.- what a great choice.
Thank you for making your promise a reality and happy Friday.
Good presentation
Good presentation
You are great personality of world astronomy
I salute you
Thank you Mrs. Ash for your video, it was a bit beyond my understanding but it helped to look at how particles and physics controls the world we live in. Thanks again, it was a very informative video. Thank you again. :)
This man whispers clever words .
When the best science channel uploade
great video, pieces of the puzzle gathered... viewers should reach 10M
Outstanding work!
I love the tone of your voice it complees you to listen carefully like one of the forces which one you may ask somewhat like gravity.
This is solid gold, plus all the seemingly infinite sub-quantum realms that go into the formation of solid gold!
😎🙂🏆😁
Awesome video as always!!
I still remember when my 7th grade teacher told us that Big Bang was just one big planet exploding into the 9 planets of solar system...and that sun was previously the core of that big planet.
I knew she was wrong, I knew what Big Bang was..but just didn't have the courage to correct her.😥
This is a very good example of half knowledge (or no knowledge) is very dangerous. Even zero knowledge is OK provided they accept it. But allowing such people to be teachers should be treated as crime. My high school physics teacher told us in the class that 'You will never understand physics and it is too complicated' (because he himself could not understand it during his undergraduate physics degree in college). We officially requested our Headmaster to change him but in the end he was our teacher for the whole year. My physics marks were just a few above the minimum passing level. Today I can explain to a kid what contributions Newton, Einstein, Maxwell and Feynman made to physics in a reasonable way that is understandable to their level.
Wow, that is so wrong. it's a shame you did not correct her. Who know how many of her pupils still believe that.
@@ArvinAsh yeah I know....most of the students didn't care because they had no interest in science. This was just one example.She also thought light requires medium to travel and it cannot travel through vaccum. This time I corrected her....by asking how sunlight travels to Earth if light can't travel through empty space. She googled and realised her mistake.
FYI...this was 9 years ago!
@Flash
That’s quite sad to hear. How can the education system allow someone like that, who clearly ISN’T qualified, to teach?!
Haha 9 planets. She probably also taught you about Pluto (no music for it by Holst ua-cam.com/video/Isic2Z2e2xs/v-deo.html ).
You’re my new hero (don’t tell NDT). So well done. Can’t wait for the next video.
Can't wait for the next video :-)
This is such a condensed video I had to watch it in bits to let it synch. I’m in love with this guy 😍 thank you Sir.
Hi, I am the Grand Unified Theory!
I just want to thank UA-cam for existing. I am bound to it by a strong force.
3:42
If it helps visualize that temp, just think of a hotpocket fresh from the microwave.
Ughh let one cool like 10 mins yesterday and still set my mouth ablaze
Positive and negative charges do cancel; however, there is a residual Van der Waals force due to dipole-dipole interactions. Additionally, dynamic (magnetic) interactions also must be considered. In extended objects these residuals tend to be quite small EXCEPT when an extended dipole (static charge or large magnet) is present. This is why a charged comb attracts a neutral paper.
Gravity is the geometry of spacetime
You are correct according to general relativity. In quantum mechanics however it would be different. People are still trying to unify those two theories. Hopefully someday we will have a better understanding of how all this works together.
Well, mass's affect on the geometry of spacetime.
I get that the maths of general relativity don’t work at the quantum level. But I just don’t understand how Einstein’s much accepted theory could be questioned and attempted to be essentially replaced with something else at the quantum level. If the idea of gravity according to General relativity works in every context from moons and planets to stars, black holes and galaxies I just don’t understand how it would not apply to quantum matter in the same way but to such a smaller scale. How can they say “no...it does not apply here”. If it has mass, it will have a gravitational effect. Wouldn’t the more logical explanation to General relativity maths not working in the quantum world is because we can’t at all measure accurately at this scale.
Your videos are awesome...and you already use maths wherever needed but I request you to use the complex math too to explain the topics and concepts. I think it will enhance the explanation.
Thanks Arvin for this great video! In your discussion of the early epochs after gravity became a force I am curious whether the dense gravity had an impact on time measurement and if so, what time frame is used for those precise explanations of the epochs. Wouldn’t the passage of time be nonuniform throughout the early universe further complicating things?
That's an interesting question. 13.8 billion years is calculated based on current expansion rate of the universe and working backwards. Assuming accelerating expansion based on current rates, the time frame should be fairly accurate. But I could be wrong.
@@ArvinAsh Thanks for the quick reply! Instead of the 13.8 billion years I was thinking more of the time between the plank time when Gravity emerged (and possibly messed with time measurement) until 10e-32 seconds, and I was imagining in that dense gravity some parts of the universe experiencing millions of years while others experienced the tiniest fraction of a second. Wild imagination and maybe in reality the distinction is even meaningless.
Mr. Ash, thank you so much for your videos. Just a little bit hard for me, because I'm not a perfect English speaker, (by the way, the same happens with the videos of prof. Lincoln), but the quality of the info is really great. Thank you for your job and friendly regards from Athens, Greece.
Thanks for watching. I hope the closed captions in English help?
@@ArvinAsh yes, of course, subtitles in English are "fundamental" like the 4 forces! Thank you again.
I did like to put a simple thing here that-
The force applied by Andromeda galaxy on you is same as your mobile headset being 1 metre away from you
Interesting stat. I haven't done the calculations, but sounds like it is in the right range.
@@ArvinAsh yes calculations will make sure if this is true or nøt
Ed: and after watching ur video on Thermo dynamics+time+information
I did like to know why Speed makes a diff. Of timw
Yeah right, sure.. publish the calculations then.
Very beautifully explained. Eagerly await your next video.
It's already up. Uploaded last week. Just visit the channel, and you will see it.
I never heared about this before and im just 13 yet I understsnd most of this
Good for you! Keep being curious. You will do well in life.
If you don't comprehend something fully just rewatch that part until the dots connect. This is a way with which you can learn basically anything theoretical
Great illustration to understand !
Thank you dear Arvin Ash !
10:16 *of course i thought of that! who do u think i am? an engineer?*
I am sorry Howard wolowitz.
Another great job Arvin 👍🏿 Sorry I've been MIA!
how scientists can combine quantum mechanics with general relativity to explain from atom to big objects like our sun, how can we apply these two theories to our sun and atom
There is no quantum theory of gravity yet, so Relativity and quantum mechanics are treated separately at this point. String theory comes close to treating relativity at a quantum level, so it has the potential to unite the two concepts.
@@kirkhamandy
Many theoretical physics consider string theory to be better utilized as a mathematical framework for exploring possibilities to create a better model. But I agree, string theory hasn't produced anything verifiably yet. It's a work in progress. Perhaps it's completely wrong; time will tell.
Please answer me I studied in a book QM not only explains smaller world, it can also explains larger world that's what i am asking, how can we apply quantum mechanics to larger objects like our sun by Schrodinger equation
I'm a writer and I'm currently trying to write a book, needed some understanding of physics. Since I'm not a physics grad, I was drowning in a lot of terrible UA-cam videos, rambling jargon filled articles and scientific papers where the math made my head spin.
Thank you for this video. Helped. And entertaining.
Glad this was helpful. You might find this video I made on all fundamental physics useful as well: ua-cam.com/video/TTHazQeM8v8/v-deo.html
@@ArvinAsh thank you. I was neck deep on the standard model videos last night. Haha.
Would you consider doing a take on isospin of particles.
And there may be a fifth one now, related to Helium!
What do you mean?
@@johannesh7610 latest paper on that "X17 particle": arxiv.org/abs/1910.10459
Long ago, the four forces unified together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Universe expand. Only the coolest scientist, master of all four elements, could stop that, but when the Universe needed him most, he vanished. But I believe *Arvin Ash* can save the universe.
