  • Video recording of a Zoom talk given by Dr Harry Cliff on 29 June 2023. The event was organised by the Deutsch-Britische Gesellschaft Rhein-Main e.V.
    Biographical Notes:
    Dr Harry Cliff is a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge’s Cavendish Laboratory working on the LHCb experiment, a huge particle detector buried 100 metres underground at CERN near Geneva. He is a member of an international team of around 1400 physicists, engineers and computer scientists who are using LHCb to study the basic building blocks of our universe, in search of answers to some of the biggest questions in modern physics. His research is focussed on the very rare decays of exotic fundamental particles called beauty quarks, which have the potential to reveal evidence of hitherto undiscovered particles or forces.
    Cliff is also an active communicator of science. From 2012 to 2018 he held a joint post between Cambridge and the Science Museum in London, where he curated two major exhibitions: Collider (2013) and The Sun (2018). He gives a large number of public talks, including two at TED and the Royal Institution that have each been viewed millions of times, alongside appearances on television, radio and podcasts. His first popular science book, How To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch, was published in August 2021 and a second, Space Oddities, will be published in 2024.
    Synopsis:
    What is the world around us made from? This is one of the most profound questions that has ever been asked. The search for an answer has led us to an understanding of atoms and their inner structure, released new forms of energy and allowed us to peer back towards the very first moments of our universe. In this talk, I will explore how chemists, physicists and astronomers gradually uncovered the true nature of matter and traced the origins of nature’s most fundamental building blocks through the hearts of stars and back to the first instant of the Big Bang. I will also consider how close we are to a complete description of nature in what many scientists have called a “theory of everything” and whether we may one day be able to understand the ultimate origins of the matter that makes up the cosmos.

    I think it's interesting the percentage of elements ( Hydrogen Helium, etc.) in the pie chart at 29:09, resembles a pie chart of dark energy, dark matter, and baryons that make up the current view of the universe!
    The numbers aren't exactly the same but there's very little real matter compared to the atoms of heavier elements. Is this coincidence or just odd? Art

    Some observations.
    The Higgs 246 value divided by 6 is 41 - almost Hitchhiker #.
    Matter / Antimatter Big Bang issue disappears with opposite flares.
    Time arrow travelling to either flare simplifies Standard model matter issue.
    Super symmetry may be another kind of dimensional arrow.

    fun fact, some people get a condition called "radio mouth" when they are inside the MRI scanner, apparently the strength of the magnetic field, can cause the fillings in their teeth to resonate with the closest radio signals from FM transmitters, causing them to actually hear the audio carrier wave inside their head, music and conversations are heard, and they thought it was coming from the operators booth, only to find out it was all in their minds...

    1:02:32 that image of the CMB definitely has structure, it's staring at us right in the face...that slightly off center dark void is an obvious artifact, and the hotter regions across the equatorial plane is another, all this is skewed by our primitive tech, but it's there, there may even be a hidden message encoded in the very fabric of space time, perhaps created by the last and almost omnipotent pan dimensional race of super beings who left it there is a means for us to discover once we become technically competent and thus unlock some ancient but eternal secrets of the nature of reality that will enable us to escape the end of the universe, at least, I'm sure that's what doctor Nicholas Rush would have said....

    1:22 Monads, (Monaden in German) have absolutely nothing to do with calculus. They are, however, related to the discussion about Time and Space, and if they are fundamental. According to Newton, Time and Space were in fact fundamental, and served as a kind of stage in which everything happened )in that sense, the view is similar to Einstein). However, for Leibniz, time and space were relational, i.e., they were not fundamental.

    Matter and QFT evolve spontaneously from brownian motion in a dielectric super fluid given GR.
    GR is an symmetry breaking field which tends to maximal density. This flow of mass free space creates charge separation in a dielectric fluid. And spontaneous vortices as a way of preserving angular momentum.
    Charge is an artifact of real flows in a super fluid dielectric space.

    so, once all the parameters of the Higgs particle are known, which I think they are, we can effectively find a way to generate by the destruction/interaction of other subatomic particles the anti-particle of the Higgs, this would obviously result in the annihilation of the Higgs particle and it's accompanying field, thereby we can invent a method to artificially remove mass from a region of space time and the matter within it, imagine a gigantic metallic sphere the size of a moon with no mass....."my god look at the size of that thing"..."this technological terror you have created is insignificant compared to the power of the force"...may the Higgs be with you.... etc. etc.

    QFT self evolves from brownian motion action in a dielectric super fluid.
    Little known property of dielectric fluids is that flows in a dielectric create charge separation.
    Charge is an artifact of flows in mass free space

  • @KaliFissure
    @KaliFissure Рік тому

    Consider the following paper on brownian vortices, apply this to a dielectric super fluid, mass free space, and all QFT will self evolve.
    Little known physics fact
    Flows in a dielectric fluid cause charge separation.
    Charge is an ARTIFACT of flows in super fluid dielectric space.
    The Higgs is the minimal vortice, the minimal singularity. A photon trapped over its own gravity.
    The neutron is the double cover.
    Which closes the actual outflow which creates proton charge.
    Electron is inflow
    Proton is mass with outflow.
    The minimal singularity.
    A Planck sized black hole.

    What part did gravity play in creating the densities to create the temperatures needed to cause the "big bang"? Wouldn't that make gravity NOT a fundamental force but an EMERGENT force? Gravity only comes into existence after matter condenses to form atoms that become clouds of gas that form denser balls to become suns. I thought gravity didn't form until after the universe cooled to form matter! Does plasma have gravity or just charge attraction?? When a sun size mass evolves enough, gravity becomes the force that makes fusion possible.
    It's complicated for sure. art

      @schmetterling4477 Рік тому

      Gravity is the odd man out because it doesn't behave like a force, at least not at the level of macroscopic objects. We simply don't know how it behaves for microscopic ones and at the level of quantum fields. The smallest scales of experimental gravity research are at the 0.1mm level, if I remember correctly. What happens below is completely unknown.

    Sure looks like This chaldean mind model is mapped, and just as newtons intuition tells us ,we need to start listening you can't both ,follow the evidence where it leads and impose physical prescriptions then force the evidence to fit in. This cause & effect is fundamental.
    Granting our youth with the liberty of trying to map the inertia frame of reference gradiant time and value would be a much needed goal and experiment that could teach us a lot about our relationship with models and beliefs.

    Thanks, very intuitive video. You did not explain how suddenly mass disappeared mathematically at quarks level. Does nature follow math or math follows nature...wouldn't research at such small level have its own peculiarities and need different tools. I guess at such level one can't see photons using methodologies based on photons.

    • @schmetterling4477
      @schmetterling4477 Рік тому +2

      Mass didn't disappear. Mathematically it makes more sense to start with massless fields and then to introduce mass as an emergent property. This is already so at the chemical level, but the corrections to the masses of chemicals by their internal binding energy are very small (on the order of fractions of a part per billion), so they are hard (but not impossible) to measure. Chemists can safely ignore these tiny deviations and so it makes more sense to teach mass at the high school level as something constant. That's why we all get used to seeing mass as "fundamental". At the nuclear and subnuclear level, however, the deviations are sizable and they lead to important effects (like the stability of the proton vs. the decay of the neutron). At that point it's more useful to start thinking about mass as a dynamic property.

    Issue where matter comes from.
    Reverse Big Bang then Inflation to Inflation then the emergence.
    That is, higher dimensional membranes colliding.
    Then matter / energy emerge from empty space expanding.
    If true, then accelerating inflation is explained.

    The reason theory predicted no mass is because it is a theory of energy.. ie radiation which has no mass. Only when radiation condenses to go round in circles it becomes mass.. or localized energy/radiation. The Higgs process is to theoretically bend radion to go round like what a neucleus does to Gamma rays to create e-p pairs. Without a nucleation center, radiation can't create e-p pairs very much like a stream of fluid can't create a vortex-antivortex pair without meeting an obstruction to bend it. And like vapor can't make liquid without nucleation. But liquid can make vapor without nucleation and e-p pair can revert to radiation by just meeting.

    There are 7 trumpets... it equals 7 universes. We are on the female side of the galaxy...... when the central sun pops out of the hole in our own galaxy your going to hear the trumpet. When you hear the 7 trumpets each universe is going to reverse because of the 7 universal central suns popping out of the holes. Each universe alternates between being material and non material. We are on the material side. The non material side is on the male side and is fully lit up in permanent light.

    Crypto winter is here, but what does that mean for you and how are you deciding to weather the storm? It was November 2021 when bitcoin hit 65,000 USD and it dropped to record lows this year. Speculation in a bear market will overshadow the best opinions out there and it makes it so confusing!
    Is crypto ever making a comeback?
    In this episode we’ve compiled all the best of Michael Saylor sharing his knowledge and insights on the crypto market, the world market, and how grim the situation really is with global economics. You still have options and opportunities to position yourself for wealth even in this market. Michael Saylor is an entrepreneur and business executive. He’s the executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy. He’s been making predictions about bitcoin, but unlike others, he’s also backed his convictions financially.
