- It was a crucial paper in the history of cosmology and described events after the Big Bang - yet it's perhaps better known for a bad joke and an author who wrote nothing. Extra footage about the science in this video at • Alpha Beta Gamma (extr...
With Mike Merrifield and Tony Padilla
Alpher Bethe Gamow
6:54 He's referring to Jack H. Hetherington and his cat Chester (aka F.D.C. Willard).
I like how everything ties together. This whole video's about Elements and where they come from, which I'd almost have expected to appear on Periodic Videos.
Lol, he uses a Go table to present the idea of Alpher? Approved! Approved ten-folds! I should play some Go again. Hmm... and perhaps watch Hikaru no Go again as well. It's been a while... but I digress... :)
And that last story is hilarious! I love that.
I love the scientist sense of humor when it comes to publishing papers. The story of the "penguin diagrams" is also an interesting one. You can look it up in Wikipedia.
If I put a cat or whatever down and it got invited to talk. I'd bring it to the talk and put it at the podium. :)
A go board to represent the universe ... perfect :D
One of the funniest videos I've seen on all of Bradys chnnels. Gave me some good laughs, haha
"You and 2 guys in a room somewhere, and after 4 hours..."
everytime I see a new one of these in my subscriptions it's like seeing an old friend
The trick to getting info right on Wiki is the same as ANY resource: you MUST check the sources. Done right, Wikipedia's "errors" are not a problem.
And thanks for the link; found this whole discussion on language you sparked quite interesting ^.^
I need that cat to come give a talk at my house because my cat is a dumbass.
Here's my question... if the universe is expanding, then we are expanding with it (as parts, ourselves, of the universe). Also expanding must be time, right? Is it possible to say that the arrow of time may well be related to the expansion of the universe? That is, we experience time as moving in one direction (to the future) because the universe (and time with it) are moving in one direction (toward bigger)? One wonders if time accelerates as the universe accelerates.
We can't know what happened "before" the big bang or what happens "outside" the universe because the only things we can access are events inside the universe, after the big bang. There might be "before" and "outside" but currently, we don't know anything that could tell us about that.
"Two-, Three-, and Four-Atom Exchange Effects in bcc 3He"
Authors: J. H. Hetherington and F. D. C. Willard (Felis Domestica Chester Willard)
Strange how that editor wanted to change the 'we' into 'I', because in scientific writing that is generally disapproved of. The 'we' in a scientific paper does not only refer to the author(s), but to both the authors and the reader: the author acts as a guide. So the phrase "we will prove" means "you (the reader) and I together will prove it, just follow my lead".
@FrozenAnthems no they are pretzel m&m's, in an obvious limited edition run.
"Big bangs 360,24/7 forming the Locational Spherical inward absorption and outward emission of EM-Waves, thats enfolding antimatter input+0/1-output electron wave-front's, creation and annihilation, + and - electric charge and electromagnetic fields.
The greater the rate of oscillating energy or mass the Planck constant is multiplied by a larger amount, and the greater the contraction of spacetime within that 3-D ref-frame and the equal and opposite inward force called gravity as time unfolds."
Good question, I wondered that myself. And btw, humans are not exanding with the universe, the galaxies are simply moving apart. But time exanding with space might be a reason we can remember the past but not the future.
Is e^x expanding with the universe?
I also use a Go board for demonstrations.
I actually heard that cat's lecture. He had some revolutionary ideas like m=eow.
There was a paper called "A New Data Encoding Scheme" by Andrew B. Cheese and Julian P. Onions (popularly known as 'Cheese and Onions') which was published by Nottingham's Computer Science department on 1st April 1988.
It was published in the European Unix User Group Newsletter, and subsequently republished in the Australian Unix User Group Newsletter, who presumably failed to notice the joke. If you actually READ the paper, it's pretty obvious!

I love the go board and the awesome explaination :)
Do an episode Serre's theorem on Proj, mostly on the subcategory of grade modules and their finite length and its relation to noncommutative projective geometry
I go to a modest university and the thesis defence hearings I have witnessed had more like 5-6 professors. Not 2.
So for example, considering a thesis on organic chemistry, there would be 5 chemists and 1 biochemist, and about half the professors would have to work at another university.
@MultiPaulinator He's called Alpher. The letter and particle are called Alpha.
1:09 if there are seven protons per neutron, the board is a slight bit off on the density. There are four neutrons, which should equate to 36 protons - of which the board has 26.
That is to say - it would not be inaccurate to suggest the board has on average 7 protons per neutron, as 6.5 is close enough to round up(TM).
It's amazing stars have been burning for billions of years and have yet to make a significant change in the universes composition.
Reminds me of Zoe the cat, whose owner managed to procure her several advanced degrees and who is now a psychotherapist. In fact, there's a whole list of animals with diplomas on wikipedia.
Meuon: The smallest particle a cat can knock off the kitchen table.
@PedroBremberger
my guess it has to do with the ratio of, the probability an electron and a proton collide and form a neutron, to the half-life of the neutron. or more accurately how many collisions could have happened in the 2 minutes and some seconds since these particles formed.
@stuntyannick2 I'm very aware of that. I was giving them a hard time about their English accents and returned that by referring to my being an American as a 'disability'.
@Mallaclllypse Well, yeah, figured as much - the question was more if we, from the contents of the video, should have been able to predict that it was 1/4 and 3/4 (if he hadn't mentioned it)
my favorite prof
Forgive me if I misunderstood. I've got two disabilities. I'm blind and I'm American. This Alpha guy seems very smart and I just found out about the Greek letter alpher.
Okay, I'm not really blind, but I wasn't lying about the American part.
My physics teacher said - once we all ace grade 12 physics, we can all go out and get physics tattoos!
I've seen the dark matter video and I remember you mentioning dark energy was going to be covered to when is the energy video coming out or have I overlooked it ?
At :43 he added a modifier that "he believed that the universe started with a big bang". Is he saying he disagrees?
You're welcome my friend i want to thank you also for your link i didn't knew that English had so many words with German French and Latin root.I knew only about Greek cause its my native language and i realised it when i was taking English lessons.
you guys are so cool with these great vids, THANKS!
@IBITZEE Why is time being created at the big bang a bad idea? Not knowing what happened before the big bang, or what the universe is expanding into (these might, it turns out, be totally meaningless questions) does not mean that there was no big bang.
Thank you for pointing that out! I did not realize that myself. :)
I am wondering if the physicists at Nottingham acctually play Go.
Is there a video that talks about why matter can have both wave/particle like properties?
It wasn't Schrodinger's Cat, was it? Simultaneously a master of quantum phenomena and theoretical particle physics... Whilst also just being a cat.
The cat's lecture...."Can i haz cheezburger??!11!!!1!!"
I remember one talk. It was all good until he got up to the parts with projected slides and he had to use a laser pointer. it went downhill fast from there.
Note, Gamov wrote the Mr. Tompkins stories.
Really craving a packet of minstrels now...
so in the very begining when the conditions were to hot it was all plasma?
It could be argued that the atoms in his parents excrement(and theirs before them) have made their way into his brain.
That must of been Schrödinger cat.
What if that theory never took off without the name? At least, not yet. Different time lines.
@Pada007gangster Universe expands => Energy dissipates.
@Neutrinoghost If the cat belong to Schrödinger the cat might be dead so watch out.
1:47 - What do you mean by 'evaporated'?
Ralph Alpher is a funny enough name by itself.
Alfalfa... Hehehe.
0:40 INCEPTION
7:1, 28:4. in a Go board. quadratic? what happened within the physics or the science community on January 7th, July 1st, and April 28th? j/k
@BruckThatsMe Yes
A Hot Big Bang you say? Sounds quite fascinating ;)
You know, I am disappointed in these vids. Still no neutron radiation. However, they are informative and the presenter's take their time to make a vid. So still thumbs up!
Was that a Go board used in the example?
@puncheex Ah, I suppose that's right...sorry, the wording was a little loose for me. :P
So that cat is basically a holder of a PhD in physics
I'd like to hear that cat's lecture...
Might be because I'm tired but are we supposed to get why it's 1/4 and 3/4 of helium and hydrogen respectively?
Did the cat actually belong to him or Schrödinger?
where did u get those neutron proton m&m's?
physicsworld at 25, puzzle 3 brought me here!
salmon are fished in japan. 1000's of these fish swam into an american harbour days before the earthquake tradedgy and died through getting trapped! coincidence i think not!
Love the cat part...lol
the laugh at the end ^^
time was no there already when the big bang happened. time was in fact created at the moment of the big bang. think about this: all the matter in the universe was condensed into an infinitely small and dense point. so much mass in such a small space would have the characteristics of a black hole. time does not exist inside a black hole, so time was non existant before the big bang happened.
Too bad the paper wasn't published a century earlier or it could have been Alpher Bethe Gamow Dalton.
Yes actually English language is influenced a lot by Greek there are many words that have Greek root
Great video guys!
You are like Professor Stephen.W.H
love your vids, keep em coming
The holographic principle attempts to answer what's on the outside of our universe if you're interested in knowing more on the subject :-)
looks like GO
Goban, zing!
Sounds like something I would do if only I knew how to do it.
I wonder if the cat's alive and/or dead
What did Paris Hilton say about the Big Bang?
"That's SO hot......."
Seems like lots of famous astronomers came from Cornell University.
Wait..what? What's he talking about at the end?
Hear hear. Give us a 60 symbols cat video.
lol - the royal 'we'.... him and his cat ;)
@GalacticMuppet
Neither will I forget how to pronounce Bethe now that you've told me. Of course you probably mispronounce my name "Bowley" in a way I that I would object to. Lots of my students do.
a go board !
The cat story is hilarious, what scientist was this?
Does the professor play GO?
@Lavabug Google "coauthor cat" and see the first result.
i like the go bord
No, he didn't explain why it's 1/4 and 3/4. It'll be something to do with the relative energies of those configurations.
@ 1:03 "... 7 protons to each neutron ...". Taking the lowest numbers required for a whole number of atoms: 14 protons, 2 neutrons --> 1 He atom ( 2p + 2n ~= 4p by weight) + 12 H atoms (1p each). Hence, by weight, Total = 16p, H = 12p, He = 4p ==> 75% H and 25% He.
@@robinswamidasan why is lithium amount not same as predicted
So how did Alpher know that 7 protons existed for every 1 neutron?
@tmafkap meow that I'd like to hear.
@untouchblz These are go stones
Love your videos.
@MultiPaulinator Oh ok haha
great vid! you guys are the best!
