  • Dr. James Beacham is a particle physicist searching for answers to the biggest open questions of physics using the largest experiment ever, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He hunts for dark matter, gravitons, quantum black holes and dark photons as a member of the ATLAS collaboration, one of the teams that discovered the Higgs boson in 2012. He ended The Conference 2019 with a science class out of this world and a reminder of that to physics - we're all the same.

      I just don't see why he mentioned that. It just didn't seem appropriate. It seemed racist. Is the fact that white males have contributed greatly to science, math, etc. a mark against them? If so, then what about the NBA? Is it wrong that it is dominated by black males? What does James say when he watches an NBA game and sees the starting lineup - "five black males?" The "white males" he referred to were brilliant. There's a wave of feeling today that white male = bad, all others = noble beings suppressed by white males.

    universe is everything, then what is outside of it? This is a question that has been asked for centuries, and even today, we don't have a definitive answer. But as this video shows, the universe is not just a static, unchanging entity. It's expanding and evolving, and we're just starting to scratch the surface of understanding its mysteries. Melody, the narrator's childhood friend, was unafraid to ask the big questions, and it's that kind of curiosity and willingness to explore that has driven us to make so many incredible discoveries about the universe. Who knows what we'll uncover next

    • @berendharmsen
      @berendharmsen 2 роки тому +13

      Part of it is that - assuming we accept the theory of relativity, which I would say is a healthy assumption given the massive experimental evidence - it is the only explanation of the fact that the further away objects are from us, the faster they appear to recede. That can only be explained by assuming space itself expands. If 'stuff' just kept on moving in all directions 'in space' from 'some explosion' this would not be the case. Try to visualise both concepts in your head and you can actually understand this. The confusing comment in the talk about that the space that makes up you is also inflating leaves out that inflation is overcome by gravity, which is why local galaxies don't recede for example. One is actually on a collision course with our Milky Way.
      Why it happens is a different question entirely of course, but the inflation of space is simply an observable fact, assuming (again) that Relativity is really a thing.

    In the last decade or so I've often thought about how humans (& possibly other animals) may possibly experience the expansion of the universe & then that may possibly affect our experience of nostalgia.
    Most of us may usually agree that even independently of family life, we nearly always look back more fondly of our younger years and regard those times as being better back then & usually associate it only with different stages & ages in life.
    But what if;
    That is driven, at least in part, by an ability we may have to sense how the expansion of everything including in our bodies and around us progresses. Then as the years & decades pass we at least subconciously perceive & remember the relative differences in how close together things are & since it's always expanding, things seemed better years ago because everything was closer together !?
    There is at least a couple of ways that I can think of that we could perceive this & that's primarily; if light moves at a constant speed then everything takes longer & longer to percieve visually as time goes on &; electical signals would also take longer to get around our body and brain leaving us thinking (& maybe moving) slower than in the past.
    This possible ability of humans to perceive this could also affect or at least be partly responsible for our perception of time speeding up as we get older which I think nearly all of us would say it does.
    If there is any truth to that, I think our usually somewhat bias nostalgia is also naturally affected by other obvious factors such as levels of pollution, chaos & other things & events negativly, positively or neutrally percieved in our world around us & how we remember them.
    I'm aware of course that nearly all of our bias nostalgia may just stem from our lives usually being a bit easier to live to the fullest when we were younger.

    Nobel prize-winner Leon Lederman: "The expansion of the universe doesn't actually affect the spaces between particles. The universe's expansion is not a force that will rip particles, molecules or even objects apart. The 'fabric of space' is not stretching - just the distances between really large things like galaxies. So while the distance between the milky way and its nearest neighbor may increase over the next billion years, the distance between the proton and neutron in a deuterium atom's nucleus will not.

      While physics isn't my field of study, from what I understand, the universe wouldn't exist as it does without dark matter. At the very least, galaxies wouldn't have formed without the concentrating and binding effect of dark matter. As far as the universe "popping," the closest to a consensus we currently have doesn't suggest a definitive end beyond the universe eventually expanding to the point at which even protons are torn apart in a process referred to as the "heat-death of the universe." Stars will exhaust their supplies of Hydrogen, Helium, and eventually every fusible element until only blackholes remain; at which point, they will slowly evaporate due to Hawking radiation over unfathomable spans of time and blink out of existence. That's currently the most popular view, at least, but like all science, it's provisional and liable to change. Oh, and _yes,_ it's turtles all the way down.

    James Beacham, you have composed a poem, an epic, a symphony, which is the universe, our universe.
    I always thought that the universe, by definition, is all inclusive, and thus, there cannot be any "outside the universe". But then, we run into the problem of infinity. There is no way for finite beings to grasp infinity, not even the concept.
    Word is that, as you put it, infinity means repetition, and thus the existence of multiverse. We may need a different terminology, but, even within the current definition, multiverse need to break out of the traditional spatial confine to have any claim to existence. Multiverse is a dimensional concept, not a separate spatial existence, that inhabits within our own universe, within ourselves.

      Here are possibilities.
      1.Universe come from nothing
      2.It created itself
      3 Was created by something created
      4.Was created by something uncreated
      Now using our brains which one sounds the most logical
      1.Universe came from nothing
      (This is absurd because nothing is the absence of something. 0+0=0)
      2. The universe created itself
      ( absurd because you're saying something exist and not exist at the same time. Example is the mother who gave birth to herself)
      3. The universe was created by something else that was created, perhaps a chain of multiverses. ( here you run into infinite regress fallacy. If we say who created the creator then the following question is who created the creator that created the creator, and so on and on......to infinity.
      This is impossible because we run into infinite regression fallacy.
      let me give you an example.
      Let's say a sniper aquire his target (a deer) on the crosshaire, in order to shoot he needs a permission from the guy behind him, and the guy behind him needs a permission from another guy behind him, and so on and on in a never ending chain to infinity...
      Now here is the question?
      Will the sniper ever shoot the deer?
      Why or why not.
      The answer is NO, because any given moment the request for permission is moving backwards
      OK, but if the deer gets shot? This means the request ended with someone who gave the order, who doesn't need a permission from anyone else.
      4. So God is the uncreated eternal being. He is the explanation to creation.

      I really wish he'd keep the political remarks out of it and stick to the science

      @@monke8478 " Two white males won a Nobel Prize ". In a condescending voice. Sound more like an activist than a scientist.

      going into politics on a science talk is one of the worst things you can do. It's a shame because it was a good talk otherwise

    After the first few things he said about the expansion, I keep picturing the universe as a drop of gasoline falling into a puddle of water and doing that thing where it rapidly disperses on the surface but then forms a sort of slowly expanding blob after the initial dispersal

      How the energy from a drop can create concentric circles in a liquid showing the dispersion of kinetic energy.

    As a kid I used to ask "How can the universe be infinite and if it's not and it stops at a brick wall somewhere what's on the other side of the wall ?"

    There is no outside because its infinite in time and space.
    This means there was no beginning and no end.
    There is indeed a crisis in cosmology.

      Infinity is impossible. There is a beginning and an end.

    One primary reason of objecting a super collider is not the fear of knowledge. It is the triage of limited resource to scientific inquiry. We have limited resources. And the unified quantum-gravity theory may not be the most important question. Dedicating resource to the super collider implies sacrificing funding for other scientific inquiry and discovery.

    My thoughts have been when measuring distance in light years. If time is not constant, that means time passes slower or faster, depending on where and when, how can those measurements be accurate?

      Umm not sure but i think "years" in light year is w.r.t earth/ the observer.

    Dr. James Beacham is so good to watch. Some very clever people are not very interesting, but I could watch this guy all day. I'm surprised he's not already the American Brian Cox doing tours.
