Maxwell's equations are fundamentally consistent WITH what is E=MC2, particle/wave duality, TIME, AND the second dimension in/of SPACE (ON BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE !!! Great. c squared CLEARLY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. Accordingly, ON BALANCE, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Notice what is the orange AND setting Sun. Lava is orange, AND it is even blood red. Notice what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. (Consider what is water !!!) Indeed, notice what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE !!! Water comes from THE EYE ON BALANCE. Indeed, consider what is E=MC2; AS c squared CLEARLY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. So, ON BALANCE, consider what is the BALANCED MIDDLE DISTANCE in/of SPACE !!! THE EARTH IS ALSO BLUE. Indeed, consider what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON ON BALANCE. AGAIN, CONSIDER WHAT IS E=MC2 ON BALANCE !!! Magnificent. Importantly, gravity is an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded (or blocked) ON BALANCE. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE, AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). Great. Consider, ON BALANCE, what is BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE. The INTEGRATED EXTENSIVENESS of THOUGHT AND description is improved in the truly superior mind.

    I must say that as a scientist, I find this extremely beneficial. I would make viewing this video required homework for any chemistry/physics/engineering program. I have always known about Heisenberg and the Uncertainty Principle from Quantum Mechanics, but I never knew the background behind the scientific community and how it all developed. I love learning new things about old concepts.
    Very well done!

    • @frankwestphal8532
      @frankwestphal8532 3 роки тому +2

      Yes! Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle to me, is the clearest pointer to the idea of a conscious universe and our integration in to it. If something isn't conscious, how can it modify it's behavior based our observations? How can it morph in to different things at different times? Could it be that we are in a constant state of interaction on a sub atomic level with everything around us, and we are affecting it, and it is affecting us? The definition of the Indian word karma is "cause and effect". I think there is great wisdom in many older cultures that we are going to be rediscovering over time, as we realize how some of their concepts are related to reality in a very real way, that we simply previously couldn't understand.

    The rivalry between the Dane Niels Bohr (father of the atom) and the german Einstein (bonafide science-king) in those pioneering days... is brilliant to read up on here in modern time, and literally "MindClash of Titans"
    Einstein got the Nobel Price in 1921 and Niels Bohr in 1922, just the year after, so likely a lot of "ego" is also in play.
    and yeah, Einstein went to his grave, and could simply not accept this weird Quantum Mechanics from Niels Bohr and his students.

    Jim Al-Khalili and Brian Greene are second to none in their ability to present complex concepts in an understandable way to non-physicists. If you liked this, you will love Brian Greene's "The Fabric of the Cosmos", and Jim's other videos about Quantum Biology. It appears that our understanding of the relationship between consciousness and quantum mechanics is growing ever greater. Contemplating these concepts has brought me to a completely different understanding of the universe in general, and therefore everything that occurs within it. The game changer for me, was to think of the universe as a conscious entity. From that viewpoint, it gets awe inspiringly cool, and things really started to click in to place. Could it be that everything we do, is an attempt to gain knowledge that it already possesses, in order to become co creators? And if we are successful in our endeavors could we as individuals, someday, through many lifetimes of wisdom acquisition, and probably billions of years, become peers with our current universe and create our own universes too?

His career demonstrates that at Priory School, part of the highly democratic Comprehensive Education experiment, with staff like Mrs Marlowe and Mr Williams (our Physics teachers), they could teach us to love science and then help us to teach others to love it too.

    amazing and very informative video. It connected all the dots of research of model of atom. This video was recoomeded to me by my physical chemistry teacher AKK Sir.

    The documentary was brilliant...the only thing that should not be there is the noisy background music...we are here to learn science rather than to listen the noise...

    That background noise everyone is complaining about here is actually Quantum Foam.

      darkstatehk I don’t care what it is, I just know it’s too load. I could do with some foam for my ears, if they’ve got any spare, although that would just obscure his voice even more.

      Anton Shadyrya and John Fowler - Try the area around 29:30, for example. The crashing racket is far louder than his voice, making it impossible to hear what he's saying.

      A very well presented documentary..reminded of the science textbooks in school teaching about these great scientists...Also, some of the things i've read over the years : 1) The Sound of the Word when vibrates in space creates matter /condenses into matter... 2) In the beginning was the Word..the Word was with God..the Word was God...and all the things that were created were created from It...3) An atom is a particle of darkness...the Nucleus being the throne of Divine Light...4) An ancient Yogi / scientist called "Kanad" was first to mention existence of atoms or "kan"

    Excellent documentary.
    One thing I find a bit wrong, is the notion that when you don't look at a particle it behaves like a wave and when you are looking at it, it behaves like a particle again. This is wrong. Particles are always wave packets of energy. When you are not "looking" at it, it behaves as a spread out wave packet and when you are looking at it, it behaves like a more compact wave packet. But it's always a wave packet, it's always both a particle and a wave.

    I love how Jim uses such enthusiasm describing conversations that I'm sure were far between each other in time and distance and were often quite uninteresting to most people. He presents everything like it's an action movie or a boxing match and as if the scientists are racecar drivers. Kinda takes the "nerd" out of the science. It's cool though. 😎 I enjoy watching how he presents the science. Different then Brian Cox and Neal Tyson, who presents everything more soft and in awe and heart felt.
