bruh are you for real? you really falling for this bullshit scam site??? for shame you couldnt be bothered for doing a simple google search for seeing what a scam it is....
These videos are like therapy, so relaxing. My mind always starts to wonder which brings me to my question. The two slit experiment, does the change in results (the change in pattern) happen the moment the detector is used? We are always told the outcome is different the moment the rules are changed. But does it happen the moment you start observing, or only after the experiment is restarted? I've never heard anyone go into that level of detail. It is always just that the pattern is different once you begin observing the photons. I'm curious if the change in the results has ever been observed in real time. Hope someone can answer this!!
I watch a ton of science videos. This is, by far (it's not even close), the best video I have ever seen that explains the standard model as a whole. I am a 100% layman when it comes to science, yet the video explained concepts in understandable ways that, until now, have frustratingly escaped me. Further, as a history nerd, I loved how it traces the evolution of the theories that formed the foundations and progression of the standard model. Even with a length of nearly an hour and a half, I'm sure the editor had to make hard choices. Yet it strikes the proper balance where there is nothing unnecessary, but leaves no holes. That is a sure sign of superior writing and editing. I can't imagine how long it took to create the script and the effort it took to write it. I'm grateful that the editor took the risk of leaving it as one video rather than chopping it up. I will be re-watching this video over again (probably many times) to solidify my understanding of the standard model. This is truly a masterful video! Bravo!
Totally 100 percent agree with this comment. This guy deserves an Oscar for these kind of videos that explain science to the rest of humanity. We need that desperately as a species and as humans.
Yes, well.. I tried keeping up as best I could, however I don't entirely get all of this. Fundamental conceptualization of this model in its entirety remains somewhat elusive for me.
If you don't want to have to watch it many times, co sidereal that everything in matter is fields, and that classical matter does not effect quantum fields. The average energy density of our galaxy, and universe, is expressed to us as matter has no bearing on the quantum, or energy fields. Gravity is the discrepancy between classical and quantum. It effects us, but we do not effect it. It's lost in translation, so we can only experience a small portion of electromagnetic interaction. Likewise, moving closer to C will slow down the interaction of matter. If matter moves at C, it must disintegrate.
This channel is a gift to humanity. The ability to explain the complexity of the Standard Model without overwhelming the audience (at least me) is truly something special. I thought the pinnacle was achieved with the 2.5 hour episode...but you guys keeping producing masterpiece after masterpiece. BRAVO!
What’s crazy is I will watch in depth videos about a single aspect of the crazy world of proven physics and then rewatch these and realize that every single minute is true things that are literally mind blowing! Back to back to back lol
I've been suffering with repeated debilitating anxiety attacks, and these videos are one of the only things that give me comfort when it feels like I'm dying. They're softly spoken enough that it doesn't overstimulate me while still giving me something to (try) to focus my attention on instead. I never write comments, but your videos have gotten me through some of my worst imaginable moments. The gratitude that I have for your content is unquantifiable. Thank you, History of the Universe. You have made a really tough couple of months a lot more bearable 🖤
All your videos are fantastic, each better than the previous. But this one may be your magnum opus. The runtime is daunting, but I was blown away with it's deepness and flow, the storytelling and connection to the brilliant minds making the discoveries. Its captivating and I felt myself yearning to go back and finish the video. There is a certain beauty in learning how the real world works, how things actually behave, the complexity and simplicity. This video (and channel for that matter) captures that joy of learning and discovery and brings it to a level that untrained people can understand. A true gem. Its so good i see myself watchig it multiple times and hopefully I'll retain a bit more.
This channel is so refreshing especially among all the AI cosmology redundancies on UA-cam... I ordered from the website shop and will continue to support this channel! Keep up the excellent work!
Ever since getting interested in physics and universe vids in this platform, those horrible AI videos started flooding my feed as well. I try my best not to click them but sometimes I do by mistake. As expected, their content is pure rubbish and you will really get the sense of someone just rambling on and on with no actual perspective nor anything new to add. I want to report them but they seem to multiply so fast. Thus it is a treat to see channels like this one. Great production value with actual perspective. Keep it up!
@@benahaus Some of them use clickbaity titles, or put pictures of famous physicists in the thumbnails for vids that person wouldn't be doing. Also, they use the artificial voices. I hate that people are doing this because anyone legit just starting out is going to get swallowed up in the garbage. These days, I just basically watch the creators I'm subscribed to, or who are mentioned by them. 🍀
Usually videos like these help me drift off to sleep. With yours, no matter how drowsy I am, I fight sleep in order to watch more. You have a true gift. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
This video was amazing. I'm an armchair physicist who failed calculus but I am fascinated with the quantum world and you have filled in so many blanks for me Thank you very much. I have already bookmarked it so I can watch it again.
@@Condorman1I think he was being encouraging and meant just because you “failed” a course based on a number score, you can still learn the topic the with resources we have for free now. A number saying you failed is just a number, if in the end you learn the subject, who cares what that number said; it’s still success.
@@kevinsayes I wasn't offended. I was joking. I may try to learn calculus again but after working for 40 years in high tech my brain is tired and I just want to be retired. lol
Excellent. You get an A+. I am 77 years old and a self-professed theoretical physicist and practicing professor of metaphysics. I wish to send a brief message that I believe builds just a wee bit atop this magnificent video. Actually, the GUT was proposed about 300 years ago by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, though insufficiently for today's ways. As I have taught history of science, both cosmologically, biologically, and sociologically over the last fifty years or so, I have leaned into this pyramid of multiple quantum field theories (I actually started with Paul Dirac and the "Sea of Dirac") and explored what I call the "true" quantum vibrational basement of Max Planck from a metaphysically historical examination of an infinite and eternal "field" of Leibniz's Monads. Perhaps, the term "monad" suggests a particle, but my research suggests that these little critters are actually ghostly triphasic and what I refer to as "W"holy Ghosts." (Yes, the W is actually for my last name and the obvious alliterative comparison of the religious symbolism as well as what we like to call "the Universe." These universally infinite and eternal little guys are simply vibrating "biodigitally" (my word) across time from appearing in a photonic phase to a gravitonic phase through a "chronotonic" phase (again, my word). Thus, we get an unmeasurably small vibration through time in the form I like to describe as a coin with two sides and a center of unmeasurable time. One side of the coin provides a "push or a shove" (photonically) upon other "monads" adjacent with it while the other side of the coin "sucks or breaths in" providing a gravitonic effect leading ultimately to "chaotic" star systems or "orderly" black holes while passing through a pyramid of quantum field levels cosmic evolution and devolution (Bully for the Buddha) as Carl Sagan once said. These events are caused by what many quantum physicists like to refer to as things like spin, color, and flavor leading to some variations of string theory. (I play the guitar just as poorly as I tell my story of metaphysical history and "cosmic evolution." I commend all who came before me on this quest for knowledge and hope that I can somehow contribute to a humanitarian view of where we came from and where we are going, along with a few suggestions on how might get there intelligently and with as little pain as possible. I sing of this next chapter in this cosmic story leading through what I envision as a "transhuman" (hopefully, not posthuman) evolutionary transformation engineered by our experience with what we like to call artificial generative intelligence (AGI). As what I like to think of as "the music of the spheres" vibrates through all eternity there will always be high notes and low notes as the beat goes on and I should note as I conclude this "relatively brief 'for me' comment, all of these vibrating monads do not vibrate "in phase" and the effects of this "wall-to-wall" vibration is the source of all symmetry (and asymmetrical effects) accounting for literally everything, and I would like to discuss this further with anyone interested in such "metaphysically theoretical proof." Alan Wright (aln)
The style is not identical (of course it should not be - times and the medium change), but these videos remind me (old as I am) of the glory days of the BBC's "Horizon" before it degenerated into CGI fuelled baby food. Brilliant and thank you.
“We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only then do we make progress” - Richard Feynman What a simple yet wonderful quote that represents how science, unlike beliefs or dogmas, improves our knowledge and capabilities regarding the universe.
Hmmm, saying that science isn't a belief or dogma is a bit questionable, given our current cultural climate. I've seen plenty of evidence that science is misused in much the same way that religion was in days past. Although I'm in no way religious, I would say that one should not discount belief; as it's a fundamental part of being human
Sorry, but culture and religion are irrelevant to science. Suggesting that science is being “misused” is not a problem with science, imo. But I would prefer you give some direct indications of what you mean on this point. And in my personal opinion, beliefs are not only not important, but in many cases they are harmful. One should try not to hold beliefs. To suggest that beliefs are fundamental to being human is like suggesting that one shouldn’t wash their hands because dirtiness is fundamentally human.
@@AnnonymousPrime-ks4uf I’m quite familiar with QM interpretations. I’m not sure what your point is here. Science is science, regardless of how people interpret it, whether rightly or wrongly.
Inital comment of a recent subscriber knowing this channel is of many creators; You people are truly gifted. The visuals, the audio, the script, the content. Another absolutely phenomenal masterpiece of scientific communication for the average person. A God-like presentation.
I was wondering how you regularly made such great long form science content, then I saw you had folks like Paul M. Sutter on your team and it all clicked. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next one as always!
It is quite extraordinary to me that mathematical theory and equations predict something to be true that is then tested and proven to be true much later. Humans are remarkable beings.
Phenomenal video as always left a comment on one of your videos @HistoryoftheUniverse a year ago saying how these videos helped me get through the death of my mom and then best friend shortly after life is tough but a year later I’m still here I’m almost a year sober and following my passions like physics and astronomy I have a career now a wonderful girlfriend and dog and we all watch these videos now… it’s the little things like these videos, and this channel…times change life has ups and downs if your struggling right now just know things will get better, there’s always more to enjoy in life…like videos on this channel 😊
This channel and his others have brought me through some tough times, too. I'm especially glad to hear about your sobriety, and it sounds like you have a good relationship/support in your renewed life. As someone who's dealt with family members challenges, I know how important that is. Hope you're enjoying the holidays and have an awesome New Year! ✌️😎🍀
@@erinmac4750 This channel is really awesome. I always loved science and astrophysics, as and 18 year old Indian student who is very curious about the universe this channel is a blessing I always sit with a pen and paper to absorb most out of the videos... But seeing people relating these scientific videos to their personal lives and how it affects or helps them makes me really happy... Wishing you all a happy, meaningful and peaceful life ahead😊
History of the universe series is so amazing! From the music, voice, cadence, topics, flow, everything. I always look forward to these and the production team does a great job!
Absolutely perfect, I honestly can't find the words to express the absolute joy and wonder that I get from all of your videos! This one in particular is one of my favorites, I usually learn at least 1 thing from each episode, but this one has cleared up an overall misunderstanding I had regarding the weak force and Higgs field. Thank you and I can't wait for the next one!
I wish there was a dvd collection of your videos with a giant book available. I would shell out the money for something like that. Your stuff is phenomenal!
Wow, this is a treat, I was already celebrating today, but now I feel like the universe is celebrating along with me. Looking forward to consuming this treat 👍
I may not understand or retain any of this information, but watching your videos somehow expand my knowledge even without me not knowing. In a way, your videos are refreshing to me. They make me feel so small in the universe and makes me realize how much I don’t know, but in a way, It just makes me want to learn more.
Thank you for explaining g-factor and how it relates to magnetic dipole moment and the existence of virtual particles. Thanks to you, I finally understand why the new measurements of the Muon moment were such big news in physics a few years back!
This was so incredibly well thought-out and put together. From a visual standpoint, as well as from an audio perspective. I hope the creators of this badass educational feat know that they have helped countless others understand very complex matters that eluded them until they sat down and finally saw this. So many concepts I previously failed to truly understand-that I wanted to understand, but the visual/educational/conceptual framework just wasn’t there for me to grasp it. Thank you, whoever you all are, for being such incredible educators.
I think I'm going to need to watch this one several times before I get my head around the concepts. Just found your channel, but these sorts of topics are fascinating!
This channel is so good, I’m really lucky I found it and I’m grateful to the creators for taking the time and making the effort to create this quality of content. You are masters at what you do 🙇♂️
Conservation of Spatial Curvature: Both Matter and Energy described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature. (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. An artificial Christmas tree can hold the ornaments in place, but it is not a real tree. String Theory was not a waste of time, because Geometry is the key to Math and Physics. However, can we describe Standard Model interactions using only one extra spatial dimension? What did some of the old clockmakers use to store the energy to power the clock? Was it a string or was it a spring? What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Fixing the Standard Model with more particles is like trying to mend a torn fishing net with small rubber balls, instead of a piece of twisted twine. Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: “We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.” Neils Bohr (lecture on a theory of elementary particles given by Wolfgang Pauli in New York, c. 1957-8, in Scientific American vol. 199, no. 3, 1958) The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with some aspects of the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose, and the work of Eric Weinstein on “Geometric Unity”, and the work of Dr. Lisa Randall on the possibility of one extra spatial dimension? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics? When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if Quark/Gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks where the tubes are entangled? (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Charge" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry. Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Gluons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. The twist in the torus can either be Right-Hand or Left-Hand. Some twisted donuts can be larger than others, which can produce three different types of neutrinos. If a twisted tube winds up on one end and unwinds on the other end as it moves through space, this would help explain the “spin” of normal particles, and perhaps also the “Higgs Field”. However, if the end of the twisted tube joins to the other end of the twisted tube forming a twisted torus (neutrino), would this help explain “Parity Symmetry” violation in Beta Decay? Could the conversion of twist cycles to writhe cycles through the process of supercoiling help explain “neutrino oscillations”? Spatial curvature (mass) would be conserved, but the structure could change. ===================== Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons? Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension? Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The production of the torus may help explain the “Symmetry Violation” in Beta Decay, because one end of the broken tube section is connected to the other end of the tube produced, like a snake eating its tail. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process, which is also found in DNA molecules. Could the production of multiple writhe cycles help explain the three generations of quarks and neutrinos? If the twist cycles increase, the writhe cycles would also have a tendency to increase. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. ( Mass=1/Length ) The “Electric Charge” of electrons or positrons would be the result of one twist cycle being displayed at the 3D-4D surface interface of the particle. The physical entanglement of twisted tubes in quarks within protons and neutrons and mesons displays an overall external surface charge of an integer number. Because the neutrinos do not have open tube ends, (They are a twisted torus.) they have no overall electric charge. Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms. In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137. 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter? Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles? I started out imagining a subatomic Einstein-Rosen Bridge whose internal surface is twisted with either a Right-Hand twist, or a Left-Hand twist producing a twisted 3D/4D membrane. This topological Soliton model grew out of that simple idea. I was also trying to imagine a way to stuff the curvature of a 3 D sine wave into subatomic particles. ----------------------
Hats off to you good sir, one of the most amazing videos ive seen, the intro was phenomenal. Outstanding narration, editing and story telling, all while teaching us something. Your videos go beyond youtube, they are pure quality and will be around for a long time. The way you can inspire curiousity is amazing and Im stoked to get to witness this beauty.
The more I watched this video, the more it seemed to me that mass is just an illusion. Everything is energy and mass is just energy trapped in a unit volume. Matter isn't real; energy is real. The physical is just how we perceive things.
i love this channel, i have watched every single video multiple times, and it is such a treat whenever there is a new one - like christmas morning lol This series is amazing and the content is unmatched - one of if not the best on this topic...truly thank you !
41:31 I’m just floored. I stopped the video to post my first ever yt comment to express how good this is. I have watched countless yt vids on QM but the level of detail coupled with just visually stunning graphics that helps visualize the quantum world in a way I’ve never seen before
Thank you for another outstanding video. You consistently outshine programs that employ a dozen or more "science communicators" After watching this I feel like I have a better grasp of the standard model and most definitely a better understanding of the conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics. Your hard work is much appreciated and it always brightens my day whenever I see that you have released a new video. Thank you!
I have a question. Probably due to my lack of understanding more than anything but if gravity is just the effect of mass causing curvature in the fabric of space time, wouldn’t it be plausible to assume there is actually no graviton, because gravity isn’t force but interaction. And following that principle would it not plausible to say gravity is just the ripples caused in the medium through which the vibrations are occurring? And with that same train shouldn’t what we are searching for be the medium through which the fields vibrate rather than a particle carrying the vibration? Hoping to learn from yall
You and your channel are among a small handful of people that can teach me complex things that stick. That's up there with the greatest of gifts in my opinion, and i suspect its why your channel is one of the fastest growing on youtube. Thankyou
Please forgive the ignorance, but isn't it Arnold Sommerfeld who first improved Bohr's model? And where is his place in your story? As well, would you share, where ist the place of the fine structure constant?
I'm a published scientist (biology), and yet every time I watch one of your videos i learn more about physics than I did in the multitude of physics classes I've taken over the years. This video answered SOOOO MANY questions I've had for years.
This video is unbelievably good, and it’s by far my favorite video ever on UA-cam. I just watched it the first time and can’t wait to watch it again and again. I’ve seen almost every PBS space time, fermi lab, etc. they’re all amazing too, but this took all of the pieces of information I knew about QM and put it all together so that I understand it like I never quite could before.
I'm just about to begin another 30 hour weekend in the restaurant kitchen, I can't wait for prep time when I can listen to this beautifully made video in its entirety, thank you HotU, we love every single person that works on this!
This fills an important niche. Like lots of armchair astrophysicists, I watch Brian Greene et al, and am familiar with the current failures in modern physics along with the various approaches and opinions to improve things. Yet I have never taken a course in particle physics, so having a greater appreciation for the barriers and work-arounds that has been so successful in getting us to the Standard Model. So Bravo--I think I'll need to watch it a second time to make sure I got the gist of it, and will look at your other episodes.
I look forward to every single video on this channel. I must have watched all the videos a dozen times before. By far the best channel on the subject matter. Wish you get a billion subscribers, you're doing humanity a service. I would be really interested in a behind the scenes video to understand what goes into creation of such detailed and beautiful content!
This has been my favorite production of yours so far. I absolutely LOVED learning about physicists/scientists I've never heard of. And as others have said, your field(s) explanation will help a ton of people learn about it as it's a very abstract concept.
There is an error @ 32:31 where 2P energy level is depicted lower than 2S. The 2P is higher energy than 2S and the atomic energy levels shoul be reversed in the diagram.
Its standard to depict higher energy orbitals above lower energy ones in such diagrams especially when the principal quantum value (2) is the same for both orbitals..@@Pope_Protein
14:26 - "Brighter light has higher waves, so they should have dislodged more electrons as they..." As an optical engineer, my skin crawls a bit at this statement. "Higher waves"? Cringe, as 'kids these days' say. The initial thinking was that brighter, or higher amplitude, electromagnetic waves should knock off more electrons because they carry more energy. More energy impinging on the electrons, the logic went, the more electrons should get knocked out of their dance with the positively charged nucleus (particularly if they acted like classical particles). The "height" as it is called here is assumedly referring to the amplitude, but their is no direct physical dimensionally to the amplitude of an electromagnetic wave, unlike, for example, the wavelength. The electric field strength and the magnetic field strength do have directionality, or polarization, but their values are measurements of the strength of the fields, not physical size. The insight that the photoelectric effect gave into quantum mechanics is that light delivers its energy in discrete quanta that carry energy proportional to the quanta or photon frequency and inversely to its wavelength. Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect was the insight that if a single lower energy quanta, or photon, couldn't liberate an electron, then the electron would not absorb any of the lower energy quanta (to bump the electron out of its orbital), and therefore it didn't matter how many lower energy photons bombarded a sample if they could not be "caught" or absorbed. This later gave insight into light spectra and quantum models of the atom, like the Bohr model. "Higher waves" sounds more like the description of a product at a dispensary.
The only fundamental physical dimension that an electromagnetic wave exhibits is wavelength. The rotation of the wave is accounted by the angle of polarization. The amplitude is expressed in field strength, which is not a spatial dimension.
Thank you HoTU! The new episode just made my weekend! And Mr. Kelly's iconic narration is a treasure. I can't help but wonder how many viewers were inspired to delve into physics and astronomy because of the script and his narration.
@@Boneless_Chuck: As for myself, obsessively inspired! I just wish I discovered physics and astronomy in school in the 60's instead of playing in a damn rock and roll band for the next 30 years. Oh, well.... It _was_ fun and there's still lots of time to learn and to know
I cannot get enough of these excellent videos on the way mankind discovers how fundamental reality operates. Brilliant minds working together, do brilliant experiments, and a lot of blackboard work.
Another banger, these videos should fill national broadcasters prime slots, rather than yet another ‘reality’ tv offering. Please keep up the great work and many thanks for your efforts.
"The world is strange..." YES INDEED! Thanks for sharing your work. Greatly appreciated and know that I have been following "History of the Universe" for more years than one. Hahaha!. Keep well!
Thank you for everything you and your team have done on all of your channels. This one is my favourite but all of your work is fantastic. And i’m really thankful you’re providing the chance for people to watch content of this level for free on youtube. Keep up the awesome work and i hope you’re taking enough time for your health as well.
This very cool for me because you are filling in gaps from time to time which is very thrilling. It is like finding that special jigsaw piece you needed. I am having my own physics and cosmology season at the moment .I must thank you very much for your very useful video.
(paraphrasing) 51:52 "there are more half lives in a second, then there have been seconds in the universe" These channel often trys to make unimaginable things easier to grasp, but this might be the best example.
Me neither. And the other 0.6% I do understand about this video is that there's one other person out there who did not understand 99.4% of this video. So I say let us march forward my good brother, comforted by the grace that we do not fight alone in this battle to protect the sanctity of ignorance! The battle plan is that one day their brains shall become so filled with their complex theories that they will no longer be able to comprehend the simplest concepts. Like what's 2 plus 2... how do I tie these shoes... and hey, what's that shiny thing? Then we will strike! We will butter the floors and blow bubbles in the air! And as their brains overload considering the surface tension of margarine and the diffraction patterns of soapy water, they shall stumble around aimlessly as we drink cold beer, eat cheetos and forever piss our pants in vengeful drunken laughter! Buahaha! Buahahahahaha!! BBBUUUAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
This channel has opened my eyes to so much to discuss with my children. The Universe is truly amazing. There is room for both, the creation and the Creator.
When Feynman said reality was absurd, and Einstein said non-locality was spooky, they misunderstood the problem. It’s not reality that’s absurd, or spooky, it’s us. It’s our smuggled in intuitions about the nature of reality, that is absurd. Reality appears to be spooky and absurd in comparison to a physical, material, mind independent interpretation of 3D space time. I have infinite respect for both of these brilliant men, but I feel I have stumbled on a profound realisation that simply wasn’t easily available to them due to the nature of human intuition and the narrative nature of our subject understanding of reality. I’m fully open to pushback, here
This one actually brought some order to my brain, struggling with quantum particles, weak, strong, electro-magnetic forces, gluons & such. The Quantum Fields make it sort of imaginable, traceable… Even, if only for the glimpse of a second, while he explains, before dissipating like the ghost particles… I love the chess comparison- although, I don’t know chess, at all, well roughly, how the figures stand & move, and the 64 squares. By the way… Best subscription ever… except: The Entire History of Earth, and Entire History of Human Kind. The voice, the way with the words, the HUMAN voice, the history included, the introduction/explanation of different theories, all together - brilliant!
The best part of this video is the section on spin. I have struggled to understand that concept for years and that very simple explanation made it clear. Why it's not taught this way is beyond me. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
41:51 I had learned years ago about the fact there is so much space between electrons and protons that it made sense to me that we should be able to walk through walls and fall through objects, but we don't. Why? This moment in the video fully explains why to me. I get it now! Great video. Well presented.
As a master of science student in particule physics (and hence studying QFT), I can only bow to the quality of the content and how clear it is ! Thanks !
I'm just a regular guy who is curious about the world and this video really helps me learn more about the history and current understand of the universe. Cheers.
I had and will have this fascinating video virtually on loop, hoping that eventually I will absorb many of the higher principals and theories through inculcation and osmosis.
I have written the theory of Quantum Gravity 6 years ago and I like it when people mention it like the humanities most difficult hurdle they have ever come across
This was the best description of spin I’ve seen yet. Never quite understood it. Thank you. I remember a friend of mine saying he disliked the term because there is no actual spin. I have to agree with him.

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

I am disappointed. Please refrain from having them as a sponsor in the future.
These videos are like therapy, so relaxing. My mind always starts to wonder which brings me to my question.
The two slit experiment, does the change in results (the change in pattern) happen the moment the detector is used? We are always told the outcome is different the moment the rules are changed. But does it happen the moment you start observing, or only after the experiment is restarted?
I've never heard anyone go into that level of detail. It is always just that the pattern is different once you begin observing the photons. I'm curious if the change in the results has ever been observed in real time.
Hope someone can answer this!!
better help is not a good company and its very disappointing they are sponsoring this
I watch a ton of science videos. This is, by far (it's not even close), the best video I have ever seen that explains the standard model as a whole. I am a 100% layman when it comes to science, yet the video explained concepts in understandable ways that, until now, have frustratingly escaped me. Further, as a history nerd, I loved how it traces the evolution of the theories that formed the foundations and progression of the standard model. Even with a length of nearly an hour and a half, I'm sure the editor had to make hard choices. Yet it strikes the proper balance where there is nothing unnecessary, but leaves no holes. That is a sure sign of superior writing and editing. I can't imagine how long it took to create the script and the effort it took to write it. I'm grateful that the editor took the risk of leaving it as one video rather than chopping it up. I will be re-watching this video over again (probably many times) to solidify my understanding of the standard model. This is truly a masterful video! Bravo!
Well stated! This video should be able to explain QM to a goldfish!!
Totally 100 percent agree with this comment. This guy deserves an Oscar for these kind of videos that explain science to the rest of humanity. We need that desperately as a species and as humans.
Yes, well.. I tried keeping up as best I could, however I don't entirely get all of this.
Fundamental conceptualization of this model in its entirety remains somewhat elusive for me.
If you don't want to have to watch it many times, co sidereal that everything in matter is fields, and that classical matter does not effect quantum fields. The average energy density of our galaxy, and universe, is expressed to us as matter has no bearing on the quantum, or energy fields. Gravity is the discrepancy between classical and quantum. It effects us, but we do not effect it. It's lost in translation, so we can only experience a small portion of electromagnetic interaction.
Likewise, moving closer to C will slow down the interaction of matter. If matter moves at C, it must disintegrate.
@@MarinCipollinaKeep watching it, again and again. Take your time, you'll get there ♥️
This channel is a gift to humanity. The ability to explain the complexity of the Standard Model without overwhelming the audience (at least me) is truly something special. I thought the pinnacle was achieved with the 2.5 hour episode...but you guys keeping producing masterpiece after masterpiece. BRAVO!

They're softly spoken enough that it doesn't overstimulate me while still giving me something to (try) to focus my attention on instead. I never write comments, but your videos have gotten me through some of my worst imaginable moments. The gratitude that I have for your content is unquantifiable.

All your videos are fantastic, each better than the previous. But this one may be your magnum opus. The runtime is daunting, but I was blown away with it's deepness and flow, the storytelling and connection to the brilliant minds making the discoveries. Its captivating and I felt myself yearning to go back and finish the video.
There is a certain beauty in learning how the real world works, how things actually behave, the complexity and simplicity. This video (and channel for that matter) captures that joy of learning and discovery and brings it to a level that untrained people can understand. A true gem. Its so good i see myself watchig it multiple times and hopefully I'll retain a bit more.
This channel is so refreshing especially among all the AI cosmology redundancies on UA-cam... I ordered from the website shop and will continue to support this channel! Keep up the excellent work!
I've seen a lot of the Science/Philosophy/Religion AI videos lately. They are flooding the algorithm with their awful videos.
Ever since getting interested in physics and universe vids in this platform, those horrible AI videos started flooding my feed as well. I try my best not to click them but sometimes I do by mistake. As expected, their content is pure rubbish and you will really get the sense of someone just rambling on and on with no actual perspective nor anything new to add. I want to report them but they seem to multiply so fast.
Thus it is a treat to see channels like this one. Great production value with actual perspective. Keep it up!
How do you know the videos were AI generated?
Thx
@@benahaus Some of them use clickbaity titles, or put pictures of famous physicists in the thumbnails for vids that person wouldn't be doing. Also, they use the artificial voices.

Usually videos like these help me drift off to sleep. With yours, no matter how drowsy I am, I fight sleep in order to watch more. You have a true gift. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
This video was amazing. I'm an armchair physicist who failed calculus but I am fascinated with the quantum world and you have filled in so many blanks for me Thank you very much. I have already bookmarked it so I can watch it again.

COLLECTIVELY, HUMANS ARE THE NUTTTS AN BOLTTTS, SPEARHEADING THE CREATION PROCESS...
Excellent. You get an A+. I am 77 years old and a self-professed theoretical physicist and practicing professor of metaphysics. I wish to send a brief message that I believe builds just a wee bit atop this magnificent video. Actually, the GUT was proposed about 300 years ago by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, though insufficiently for today's ways. As I have taught history of science, both cosmologically, biologically, and sociologically over the last fifty years or so, I have leaned into this pyramid of multiple quantum field theories (I actually started with Paul Dirac and the "Sea of Dirac") and explored what I call the "true" quantum vibrational basement of Max Planck from a metaphysically historical examination of an infinite and eternal "field" of Leibniz's Monads. Perhaps, the term "monad" suggests a particle, but my research suggests that these little critters are actually ghostly triphasic and what I refer to as "W"holy Ghosts." (Yes, the W is actually for my last name and the obvious alliterative comparison of the religious symbolism as well as what we like to call "the Universe." These universally infinite and eternal little guys are simply vibrating "biodigitally" (my word) across time from appearing in a photonic phase to a gravitonic phase through a "chronotonic" phase (again, my word). Thus, we get an unmeasurably small vibration through time in the form I like to describe as a coin with two sides and a center of unmeasurable time. One side of the coin provides a "push or a shove" (photonically) upon other "monads" adjacent with it while the other side of the coin "sucks or breaths in" providing a gravitonic effect leading ultimately to "chaotic" star systems or "orderly" black holes while passing through a pyramid of quantum field levels cosmic evolution and devolution (Bully for the Buddha) as Carl Sagan once said. These events are caused by what many quantum physicists like to refer to as things like spin, color, and flavor leading to some variations of string theory. (I play the guitar just as poorly as I tell my story of metaphysical history and "cosmic evolution." I commend all who came before me on this quest for knowledge and hope that I can somehow contribute to a humanitarian view of where we came from and where we are going, along with a few suggestions on how might get there intelligently and with as little pain as possible. I sing of this next chapter in this cosmic story leading through what I envision as a "transhuman" (hopefully, not posthuman) evolutionary transformation engineered by our experience with what we like to call artificial generative intelligence (AGI). As what I like to think of as "the music of the spheres" vibrates through all eternity there will always be high notes and low notes as the beat goes on and I should note as I conclude this "relatively brief 'for me' comment, all of these vibrating monads do not vibrate "in phase" and the effects of this "wall-to-wall" vibration is the source of all symmetry (and asymmetrical effects) accounting for literally everything, and I would like to discuss this further with anyone interested in such "metaphysically theoretical proof." Alan Wright (aln)

The style is not identical (of course it should not be - times and the medium change), but these videos remind me (old as I am) of the glory days of the BBC's "Horizon" before it degenerated into CGI fuelled baby food. Brilliant and thank you.
“We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only then do we make progress” - Richard Feynman
What a simple yet wonderful quote that represents how science, unlike beliefs or dogmas, improves our knowledge and capabilities regarding the universe.
Look up Copenhagen interpretation and I'm sure that you won't be able to say the same thing afterwards.
Hope they did that with vaccines..
Hmmm, saying that science isn't a belief or dogma is a bit questionable, given our current cultural climate. I've seen plenty of evidence that science is misused in much the same way that religion was in days past. Although I'm in no way religious, I would say that one should not discount belief; as it's a fundamental part of being human
Sorry, but culture and religion are irrelevant to science. Suggesting that science is being “misused” is not a problem with science, imo. But I would prefer you give some direct indications of what you mean on this point.
And in my personal opinion, beliefs are not only not important, but in many cases they are harmful. One should try not to hold beliefs. To suggest that beliefs are fundamental to being human is like suggesting that one shouldn’t wash their hands because dirtiness is fundamentally human.
@@AnnonymousPrime-ks4uf I’m quite familiar with QM interpretations. I’m not sure what your point is here. Science is science, regardless of how people interpret it, whether rightly or wrongly.

It is quite extraordinary to me that mathematical theory and equations predict something to be true that is then tested and proven to be true much later. Humans are remarkable beings.

One of the better episodes lately IMO. Simply superb. Love this channel.
Absolutely perfect, I honestly can't find the words to express the absolute joy and wonder that I get from all of your videos!

Conservation of Spatial Curvature:
Both Matter and Energy described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature. (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.)
Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. An artificial Christmas tree can hold the ornaments in place, but it is not a real tree.
String Theory was not a waste of time, because Geometry is the key to Math and Physics. However, can we describe Standard Model interactions using only one extra spatial dimension? What did some of the old clockmakers use to store the energy to power the clock? Was it a string or was it a spring?
What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Fixing the Standard Model with more particles is like trying to mend a torn fishing net with small rubber balls, instead of a piece of twisted twine.
Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
“We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.” Neils Bohr
(lecture on a theory of elementary particles given by Wolfgang Pauli in New York, c. 1957-8, in Scientific American vol. 199, no. 3, 1958)
The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with some aspects of the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose, and the work of Eric Weinstein on “Geometric Unity”, and the work of Dr. Lisa Randall on the possibility of one extra spatial dimension? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics?
When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if Quark/Gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks where the tubes are entangled? (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Charge" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry.
Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Gluons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other.
Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. The twist in the torus can either be Right-Hand or Left-Hand. Some twisted donuts can be larger than others, which can produce three different types of neutrinos. If a twisted tube winds up on one end and unwinds on the other end as it moves through space, this would help explain the “spin” of normal particles, and perhaps also the “Higgs Field”. However, if the end of the twisted tube joins to the other end of the twisted tube forming a twisted torus (neutrino), would this help explain “Parity Symmetry” violation in Beta Decay? Could the conversion of twist cycles to writhe cycles through the process of supercoiling help explain “neutrino oscillations”? Spatial curvature (mass) would be conserved, but the structure could change.
=====================
Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons?
Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension?
Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons
. Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The production of the torus may help explain the “Symmetry Violation” in Beta Decay, because one end of the broken tube section is connected to the other end of the tube produced, like a snake eating its tail. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process, which is also found in DNA molecules. Could the production of multiple writhe cycles help explain the three generations of quarks and neutrinos? If the twist cycles increase, the writhe cycles would also have a tendency to increase.
Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. ( Mass=1/Length )
The “Electric Charge” of electrons or positrons would be the result of one twist cycle being displayed at the 3D-4D surface interface of the particle. The physical entanglement of twisted tubes in quarks within protons and neutrons and mesons displays an overall external surface charge of an integer number. Because the neutrinos do not have open tube ends, (They are a twisted torus.) they have no overall electric charge.
Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms.
In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137.
1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface
137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted.
The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.)
How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter?
Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles?
I started out imagining a subatomic Einstein-Rosen Bridge whose internal surface is twisted with either a Right-Hand twist, or a Left-Hand twist producing a twisted 3D/4D membrane. This topological Soliton model grew out of that simple idea. I was also trying to imagine a way to stuff the curvature of a 3 D sine wave into subatomic particles.
----------------------
Why in the universe did I read all of this? and also did someone just post a part of his PhD based on Dirac theory here? anyway was a fun read.
Lol no dude
Hats off to you good sir, one of the most amazing videos ive seen, the intro was phenomenal. Outstanding narration, editing and story telling, all while teaching us something. Your videos go beyond youtube, they are pure quality and will be around for a long time. The way you can inspire curiousity is amazing and Im stoked to get to witness this beauty.
I'm literally the 'It's beautiful, I've lookied at this for 5 hours now' meme with this video. Can't stop rewatching it.
This is one of the most astonishingly well made things I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Thank you
COLLECTIVELY, HUMANS ARE THE NUTTTS AN BOLTTTS, SPEARHEADING THE CREATION PROCESS...
The more I watched this video, the more it seemed to me that mass is just an illusion. Everything is energy and mass is just energy trapped in a unit volume. Matter isn't real; energy is real. The physical is just how we perceive things.
That is...very much the modern scientific view of mass. Well done.
i love this channel, i have watched every single video multiple times, and it is such a treat whenever there is a new one - like christmas morning lol
This series is amazing and the content is unmatched - one of if not the best on this topic...truly thank you !

Absolutely fantastic content as always, guys. Please keep it up ❤🔥
Is this legit?
@@erhorvik1not sure what you mean but yes this is how donation comments look

Seems like a scam. I'd donate, but not to you or orb😉
@@erhorvik1 if you want to donate to the channel (this one not mine), use the thanks button under the video :)

I’m just floored. I stopped the video to post my first ever yt comment to express how good this is. I have watched countless yt vids on QM but the level of detail coupled with just visually stunning graphics that helps visualize the quantum world in a way I’ve never seen before
I feel so bad - I have no idea the complexity that goes into these videos; I just use them to fall asleep
You can’t go wrong when you start a physics vid with Dr. Feynman.
Thank you for another outstanding video. You consistently outshine programs that employ a dozen or more "science communicators" After watching this I feel like I have a better grasp of the standard model and most definitely a better understanding of the conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics. Your hard work is much appreciated and it always brightens my day whenever I see that you have released a new video. Thank you!
I have a question. Probably due to my lack of understanding more than anything but if gravity is just the effect of mass causing curvature in the fabric of space time, wouldn’t it be plausible to assume there is actually no graviton, because gravity isn’t force but interaction. And following that principle would it not plausible to say gravity is just the ripples caused in the medium through which the vibrations are occurring? And with that same train shouldn’t what we are searching for be the medium through which the fields vibrate rather than a particle carrying the vibration?
Hoping to learn from yall
Thats a great idea
The framing and context given to each and every theory explained is so good that even I feel like I understand what is going on. Excellent work!
The video starts with a BetterHelp ad because it knows some of us will have an existential crisis watching this 😂
You and your channel are among a small handful of people that can teach me complex things that stick. That's up there with the greatest of gifts in my opinion, and i suspect its why your channel is one of the fastest growing on youtube. Thankyou
Please forgive the ignorance, but isn't it Arnold Sommerfeld who first improved Bohr's model? And where is his place in your story? As well, would you share, where ist the place of the fine structure constant?
"I'll only watch one"
6 hours later here I am. Cheers for the content, lad. Appreciate it.
I'm a published scientist (biology), and yet every time I watch one of your videos i learn more about physics than I did in the multitude of physics classes I've taken over the years. This video answered SOOOO MANY questions I've had for years.
This is without a doubt, the best video/lecture on particle physics I have ever seen, and I have seen quite a few.
At 29:58 and ai would come up with so many explanations/theories for stuff and instantly.
This video is unbelievably good, and it’s by far my favorite video ever on UA-cam. I just watched it the first time and can’t wait to watch it again and again. I’ve seen almost every PBS space time, fermi lab, etc. they’re all amazing too, but this took all of the pieces of information I knew about QM and put it all together so that I understand it like I never quite could before.
I'm just about to begin another 30 hour weekend in the restaurant kitchen, I can't wait for prep time when I can listen to this beautifully made video in its entirety, thank you HotU, we love every single person that works on this!
This fills an important niche. Like lots of armchair astrophysicists, I watch Brian Greene et al, and am familiar with the current failures in modern physics along with the various approaches and opinions to improve things.
Yet I have never taken a course in particle physics, so having a greater appreciation for the barriers and work-arounds that has been so successful in getting us to the Standard Model. So Bravo--I think I'll need to watch it a second time to make sure I got the gist of it, and will look at your other episodes.
Most of what you discuss goes right over my head but I find the sound of your voice soothing, sometimes even sleepable.
I look forward to every single video on this channel. I must have watched all the videos a dozen times before. By far the best channel on the subject matter. Wish you get a billion subscribers, you're doing humanity a service. I would be really interested in a behind the scenes video to understand what goes into creation of such detailed and beautiful content!
This has been my favorite production of yours so far. I absolutely LOVED learning about physicists/scientists I've never heard of. And as others have said, your field(s) explanation will help a ton of people learn about it as it's a very abstract concept.
There is an error @ 32:31 where 2P energy level is depicted lower than 2S. The 2P is higher energy than 2S and the atomic energy levels shoul be reversed in the diagram.
There's no implication of the orbitals being higher energy because they're on top
Its standard to depict higher energy orbitals above lower energy ones in such diagrams especially when the principal quantum value (2) is the same for both orbitals..@@Pope_Protein
This is the best channel in the history of UA-cam, fight me.
Just finished my first run through this. Now the table is set. Will start on my 2nd viewing and really try to start digesting the content.
14:26 - "Brighter light has higher waves, so they should have dislodged more electrons as they..." As an optical engineer, my skin crawls a bit at this statement. "Higher waves"? Cringe, as 'kids these days' say. The initial thinking was that brighter, or higher amplitude, electromagnetic waves should knock off more electrons because they carry more energy. More energy impinging on the electrons, the logic went, the more electrons should get knocked out of their dance with the positively charged nucleus (particularly if they acted like classical particles). The "height" as it is called here is assumedly referring to the amplitude, but their is no direct physical dimensionally to the amplitude of an electromagnetic wave, unlike, for example, the wavelength. The electric field strength and the magnetic field strength do have directionality, or polarization, but their values are measurements of the strength of the fields, not physical size. The insight that the photoelectric effect gave into quantum mechanics is that light delivers its energy in discrete quanta that carry energy proportional to the quanta or photon frequency and inversely to its wavelength. Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect was the insight that if a single lower energy quanta, or photon, couldn't liberate an electron, then the electron would not absorb any of the lower energy quanta (to bump the electron out of its orbital), and therefore it didn't matter how many lower energy photons bombarded a sample if they could not be "caught" or absorbed. This later gave insight into light spectra and quantum models of the atom, like the Bohr model. "Higher waves" sounds more like the description of a product at a dispensary.
The only fundamental physical dimension that an electromagnetic wave exhibits is wavelength. The rotation of the wave is accounted by the angle of polarization. The amplitude is expressed in field strength, which is not a spatial dimension.
Ahhh, no better way to start the holidays than a new HOTU video...thanks guys, love your work
Thank you HoTU!
The new episode just made my weekend!
And Mr. Kelly's iconic narration is a treasure. I can't help but wonder how many viewers were inspired to delve into physics and astronomy because of the script and his narration.
His voice seems to either inspire or lull to sleep, depending on who you are.
@@Boneless_Chuck I think it's both. To dream, to sleep, to be.
@@Boneless_Chuck: As for myself, obsessively inspired! I just wish I discovered physics and astronomy in school in the 60's instead of playing in a damn rock and roll band for the next 30 years.
Oh, well.... It _was_ fun and there's still lots of time to learn and to know
I cannot get enough of these excellent videos on the way mankind discovers how fundamental reality operates. Brilliant minds working together, do brilliant experiments, and a lot of blackboard work.
Another banger, these videos should fill national broadcasters prime slots, rather than yet another ‘reality’ tv offering. Please keep up the great work and many thanks for your efforts.
Honestly, I cannot finish this episode. I've tried at least 10 times. Fall asleep within 10 minutes every time. So fascinating and so peace inducing.
I have to listen while actively doing chores. If I’m sitting down, it’s nappy time 😂
That's a strange compliment😅
I have insomnia, I'll try this. Thanks
@@k.manjericao1583 You should try some PBS space time episodes, I used them for sleeping for years lol

Best educational video on this subject I've ever seen. Liked , Saved, Subscribed. Keep up the exceptional work. Bravo!
So basically it's turtles all the way down.
This very cool for me because you are filling in gaps from time to time which is very thrilling. It is like finding that special jigsaw piece you needed. I am having my own physics and cosmology season at the moment .I must thank you very much for your very useful video.
Same.
(paraphrasing) 51:52 "there are more half lives in a second, then there have been seconds in the universe"
These channel often trys to make unimaginable things easier to grasp, but this might be the best example.
These are absolutely stellar videos. Thank you. Combine this with PBS Space Time and good things happen.
This channel quantizes the quantum realm, and for that, I'm immeasurably grateful. ❤
Funny how one dose of certain mushrooms makes most people realize that everything is vibrations pretty quickly.
You can get similar effects cheaper with enough sleep deprivation, how do you think they made discoveries back then? 😂
You people are worse than vegans, my lord.
🐵 behavior.
So what you're implying is that they're truly genius to have made such discoveries without a mind altering substance
Meh psychedelics are cool but science is more cool
We are all so far removed from reality
I didnt understand 99.4% of what was said in this video
Me neither. And the other 0.6% I do understand about this video is that there's one other person out there who did not understand 99.4% of this video.
So I say let us march forward my good brother, comforted by the grace that we
do not fight alone in this battle to protect the sanctity of ignorance!
The battle plan is that one day their brains shall become so filled with their complex theories that they will no longer be able to comprehend the simplest concepts.
Like what's 2 plus 2... how do I tie these shoes...
and hey, what's that shiny thing?
Then we will strike!
We will butter the floors and blow bubbles in the air! And as their brains overload considering the surface tension of margarine and the diffraction patterns of soapy water, they shall stumble around aimlessly as we drink cold beer, eat cheetos and forever piss our pants in vengeful drunken laughter!
Buahaha!
Buahahahahaha!!
BBBUUUAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Don't let it bother you. They change the rules of the game every so often which makes all that came before obsolete.
Watch again
Me too but I have watched this over and over and every time I get one point
This channel has opened my eyes to so much to discuss with my children. The Universe is truly amazing. There is room for both, the creation and the Creator.
When Feynman said reality was absurd, and Einstein said non-locality was spooky, they misunderstood the problem. It’s not reality that’s absurd, or spooky, it’s us. It’s our smuggled in intuitions about the nature of reality, that is absurd.
Reality appears to be spooky and absurd in comparison to a physical, material, mind independent interpretation of 3D space time.
I have infinite respect for both of these brilliant men, but I feel I have stumbled on a profound realisation that simply wasn’t easily available to them due to the nature of human intuition and the narrative nature of our subject understanding of reality.
I’m fully open to pushback, here
This one actually brought some order to my brain, struggling with quantum particles, weak, strong, electro-magnetic forces, gluons & such. The Quantum Fields make it sort of imaginable, traceable… Even, if only for the glimpse of a second, while he explains, before dissipating like the ghost particles…
I love the chess comparison- although, I don’t know chess, at all, well roughly, how the figures stand & move, and the 64 squares.
By the way… Best subscription ever… except: The Entire History of Earth, and Entire History of Human Kind. The voice, the way with the words, the HUMAN voice, the history included, the introduction/explanation of different theories, all together - brilliant!
The best part of this video is the section on spin. I have struggled to understand that concept for years and that very simple explanation made it clear. Why it's not taught this way is beyond me. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
💜 I’m glad I got it right!
Wonderful work. I found your explanation approachable and I could follow along (well, more than I usual can anyway).
BEST VIDEO EVER! It should be shown and utilized to teach everyone eventually! With so clear explanations, it's really fun to learn through it.
41:51 I had learned years ago about the fact there is so much space between electrons and protons that it made sense to me that we should be able to walk through walls and fall through objects, but we don't. Why? This moment in the video fully explains why to me. I get it now! Great video. Well presented.

Thanks!
I'm just a regular guy who is curious about the world and this video really helps me learn more about the history and current understand of the universe. Cheers.
Thank you for singlehandedly improving the signal to noise ratio of UA-cam with a single video. Seriously.
I had and will have this fascinating video virtually on loop, hoping that eventually I will absorb many of the higher principals and theories through inculcation and osmosis.
This is art. The whole channel. After I watch I come back to play the videos to sleep. The voice is calming
I have written the theory of Quantum Gravity 6 years ago and I like it when people mention it like the humanities most difficult hurdle they have ever come across
This was the best description of spin I’ve seen yet. Never quite understood it. Thank you. I remember a friend of mine saying he disliked the term because there is no actual spin. I have to agree with him.
Great depth on the,”Photo-Electric Effect” 😸
85 minutes to explain in a magnificent way concepts that human beings took hundreds of years to come up with... truly amazing! 👏

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE...
Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
It's like I'm learning quantum physics all over again but everything makes so much more sense!
