  • www.ted.com In clear, nontechnical language, string theorist Brian Greene explains how our understanding of the universe has evolved from Einstein's notions of gravity and space-time to superstring theory, where minuscule strands of energy vibrating in 11 dimensions create every particle and force in the universe. (This mind-bending theory may soon be put to the test at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva).

      Einstein was a known weasel. Greene is knowingly and deceitfully lying about physics. WHY E=MC2 IS NECESSARILY F=MA (ON BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity AS SPACE ON BALANCE:
      TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Hence, the Earth AND the Sun are CLEARLY E=MC2 AND F=ma IN BALANCE. (The sky is blue, AND the Earth is ALSO BLUE.) A PHOTON may be placed at the center of WHAT IS THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light (c); AS E=MC2 IS F=MA !!!; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ("Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!!) Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE !!!; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) E=mC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Great !!! Again, BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense.

      Brain Greene is actually misleading people. He was time & again asked to read the link www.linkedin.com/pulse/adopted-paradigm-physics-incorrect-shafiq-khan?trk=pulse_spock-articles before he talks about physics in any forum.
      Einstein was the greatest scientific trickster ever. Theories of relativity lead to Big Bang Theory whereas under Big Bang paradigm there is absolutely no possibility of existence of God for following reasons.
      1. Philosophically for existence; it has to be some substance (visible, invisible, perceivable or not perceivable) and this applies to God also. Substances occupy space but there is absolutely no space for God to exist at the time of Big Bang & before.
      2. Four things come out of Big Bang namely space, time, matter & light/radiation. We cannot look for eternal God in space & time as both had the beginning; secondly humans are in a position to produce all types of light/radiation and something which humans can produce could not be the God and since matter is made up of electrons, protons & neutrons these too could not be the God.
      However Big Bang Theory including Cosmic Inflation has been mathematically, theoretically & experimentally proved as baseless in the published paper "Experimental & Theoretical Evidences of Fallacy of Space-time Concept and Actual State of Existence of the Physical Universe" which is available at the journal site at indjst.org/index.php/indjst/issue/view/2885.

    11 years on from this video, and the Large Hadron Collider has been in use for years. As yet, I'm seeing good results (the Higgs boson), but I'm not seeing any major announcements about other dimensions or about string theory. I appreciate this guy's ability to teach with clarity, but I don't see us closer to a theory of everything.
    I get the impression that the right theory is simple, right in front of us, and when we finally see it, we will say "of course".

      FrankCoffman This article you posted is from 2007. The scientists at CERN have discovered the Higgs Boson last year. This proves that the mathematical theories of String Theory are accurate as their experimentation meet their projected calculations.
      We have the Standard Model of Fundamental Particles because of String Theory, and as time goes on, we are finding more and more particles that we are expecting to find from this theory. If this theory is wrong, then why are we keep finding good results and able to make practical use from it under the assumption it is correct? Now I will admit that my level of understanding of physics isn't high enough yet to fully understand String Theory (still an undergraduate in college), but from my understanding, this is new stuff that the scientific community is just starting to accept as fact in an age where all physics textbooks are wrong, as Michio Kaku points out, because they all say "The Universe is mainly made out of atoms," when we know that about 96 percent of it is Dark Matter and Dark Energy.

    • @benjaminmoldrup6286

      +FrankCoffman Let's presume you are right. If string theory is wrong, which science always will stay open to, it will not really do any harm to have tested it. It's not like creationism which is plain stupid because it's based on an old unscientific book, this is resting on and derived from the body of science. I mean, it must be the best current explanation since a lot of very smart people, who understand stuff that you and i don't, dedicate their time and carrier to it. Even if not all physicists agree with it, it is still unwise to dismiss it before giving it a fair trial. AND if it turns out to be wrong, some smart people would have spent their time, thinking about a major theory for some time for a scientific reason, and i don't really see how that is a problem. If you have any VALID argument for ridiculing the super-string-theory, bring them on. I don't think you have.

    Showing graphics of something that exists in 10+1 dimensions, and talking about finding out "what these things look like", does that even make sense? From the animations it looks like these 11 dimensions are just things existing in three dimensions but on a really small scale. If they operate in all 11 dimensions I guess they could be "seen" in our three dimensions of space too, but. Can these strings really be visualised? Does it even matter what they look like?

    I just had an idea. I know I am not very smart at this type stuff but maybe this explains black holes? ok so if the proton collider gets particles to crash into each other at nearly the speed light and you have less of material to begin with it will mean some of the material went into a different dimension. Just a thought but Maybe black holes are so strong they get light particles to crash into each other and instead of getting some of the matter to "push through" are dimension like the proton collider does...a black hole actually a punches a hole in our dimension? We know that some matter that goes into a black hole disappears and cant be accounting for , so does black holes prove that we have many dimensions?

      If they find traces of it they look further until their theory is proven.

      There's a movie about this very experiment he's describing called PARTICLE FEVER - on Netflix, I believe (at least, it was a few years ago when I watched it). To my recollection, it doesn't discover or unveil these extra dimensions, but it does chronicle the discovery/proof of the existence of the Higgs-Boson particle, the so-called (and so-feared) "God particle." For a documentary about a topic most people would find tedious and boring, it's actually a well-paced and rather suspenseful film; and like Dr. Greene, it makes an enormously complex topic very accessible to those of us for whom such topics are above our intellectual pay grade. Give it a watch - if you like this TED talk, I'd be surprised if you didn't find PARTICLE FEVER equally compelling. Cheers!

    • @maxmoseley7490
      @maxmoseley7490 4 роки тому

      David Burns what would be wrong with saying that God is the string builder? Logically speaking, Christians or other religions believe that God made the universe. They don’t explain how he made it or how it works. That doesn’t mean it’s false, right? If string theory is true that doesn’t disprove God. Just because the Bible never said the earth wasn’t flat but spherical, that doesn’t mean that the Bible is wrong because it never said that the earth wasn’t spherical. Same principle for this in my opinion. If string theory is the most logical explanation for laws of the universe, seems to me that that’s just how God designed it to work. I just don’t think the concepts of science and God are mutually exclusive. In fact, the fact that everything is so orderly and logical seems to point more towards an intelligence than not in my opinion. Anywhozzles😂im sure you weren’t looking for a rebuttal.

    • @davidburns1753

    You want to know what's trippy? Everything has gravitational pull, even humans. Our pull is small because we don't have that much mass but we emit gravitational pull regardless. So right now as you sit by your computer you are effecting space fabric. Everywhere you go and everything you do you are warping the fabric of space. Everything you do from taking a breath, to scratching your balls eventually effects everything in the universe in some way or another. By typing this right now I will eventually effect everything in the universe, even a planet hundreds of million light years away that may have a person identical to me typing this very same thing. That's not to say it will be a huge change, maybe just a displacement of a molecule or a microscopic reaction, but it's a change nonetheless.

    • @isaiahphillip4112
      @isaiahphillip4112 9 років тому

      Nope, you won't effect anything you don't directly touch. Unless you're in space, all other forces are superior to gravity. Not even the earth's gravity can dislodge an atom. If there was no nuclear attractions, or friction, and you stood still for a few weeks, you might notice small objects have made the smallest of movements towards you. But that is not the case, the light waves that just bounced off of you and back into outer space will have more of an effect on something than your gravity.

    • @hector-m-carrillo
      @hector-m-carrillo 9 років тому

      Isaiah Phillip well, in theory, we never touch anything, it's just a repulsion between electrons we feel
      Regardless, what the guy is trying to say is that we apply a 1x10^-99999 N (not real number, in other words, tiny) force on every object in the universe simply because we exist
      And if there were no nuclear attractions (which by I presume you mean electric forces) we would return to a singularity point, since there is nothing pushing us out and we'd all collapse onto ourselves
