    Thanks to the Fridman podcast with Donald Hoffman, I've been introduced to this wonderful lecture! I don't understand anything, but it makes me want to try harder in my math courses. Hope I'll understand it some day!

    Only the most spiritually connected scientific questions get left behind subliminally until one day, this dude gets to be father of the Holographic Principle by the time ppl realise how important this theory is and Mr. Nima has unfortunately left us...
    This is the only physics theory that explains the underlying fundamental principle of holographic entropy, a concept that will eventually overule interdimensional physics

    I consider this an advancement in the research towards the formula of the universe.
    Inspirational because well held by the underlying maths, and yet complex enough to contain the tree of all Feynman diagrams... the multiverse from BigBang to DeepFreeze practically... and, put in the right variables, and you get addressing the multiverse.

    So this is like trying to understand an alien language, so can someone just explain what this math is actually describing ... is this about particles and how they move, how they interact, or something utterly different? For the layman as best you can ... thanks.

    Although Amplituhedron and E8 Lattice seem to be pointing the way to new physics, it feels like a graphics engine being explained by Marcko Rodin. We need better visualization tools. What about Penrose Twistor space, this with Hopf fibration maybe just projections from a quasiproxidimensional pov. What about the scalar as a spatial dimension, with conformal transformations. We as fermionic beings can only simulate such possibilities.

      @@nicholasandrzejkiewicz Do you have any constructive thoughts on these subjects. I'll admit, this was the first of Nima Arkani-Hamed's lectures I've had the pleasure to experience, and found his presentation style to be rather jarring at first, hence the comparison to Marko Rodin. I retract that statement. Which sentence are you referring to exactly?

    • @nicholasandrzejkiewicz
      @nicholasandrzejkiewicz 4 роки тому +4

      @@David.C.Velasquez Neither of these point the way to new physics, quasiproxidimensional isn't a word, etc. I'm a student of mathematics familiar with all of these structures, but the way you threw around the words has no meaning. The E8 lattice is just the root system to a particular Lie Algebra, the hopf fibration is a particular structure produced by mapping a higher dimensional sphere onto a lower one. Please make an effort to learn the mathematics if you're actually interested.

      @@nicholasandrzejkiewicz Ok... you're a STUDENT of mathematics, so bless us all with your omniscient wisdom. I'm aware that quasiproxidimensional isn't a word, but I'm sure YOU are aware that language falls short in capturing some abstract concepts. It was the only thing that I could come up with at the time to describe my thoughts... it was late at night, I apologize. I am also familiar with all of these structures, and assumed anybody that took the time to read would also be, so I could save the primer. Who are you to judge my level of intelligence from a couple sentences. I'll ask again... Do you have any constructive thoughts on these subjects? If not, go fuck yourself!

      @@David.C.Velasquez Ad hominems are unnecessary, and I only felt the need to point it out to you because your use of jargon without context or meaning shows you to be arrogant. When I said that what you said didn't mean anything, I meant that it looked like a high schooler copied text from Wikipedia and mashed it together. I really welcome more people to math, but it doesn't need any more crankery. I'm not sure what you mean by language failing, because I've never heard that comment before nor have I seen someone need to make up words (and not even bother to define them). This is a lecture, what do you expect to be added to it?
      I didn't think it was so much to ask of you to not ruin this forum for other people because literally all mathematics is available somewhere on the internet to be learned.
