Consciousness can only be experienced. For example, if you had a tooth pain. Million Scientists with their Test tube(Deduction/induction via empiricism) can tell you there is no evidence of tooth pain. You will reject their scientific method because you are having direct experience of this pain. I have direct experience of existence. All i know with certainty is my experience ("Cogito Ergo Sum"). I know with certainty that this existence can only come from pre-existing Self-Sufficient/Perfect Existence(Allah the most Exalted).You have a direct proof of Allah(one/indivisible/self-sufficient/All-loving/unique) with every waking moment through direct experience of life. Once liberalism is replaced by the law of Quran/Sunnah all of the "strings" will come together in harmony/peace/justice and most importantly mercy.
isn't everything just energy vibrating at at its own specific frequency? Everything must have a specific wave form... which makes that object unique. Sound (frequency) passing through a glass sphere filled with water will create light at the center of the sphere. The ingredients are a perfect sphere, water (waves) and sound. (frequency) achieving light speed could just be a matter of finding the correct frequency... and vibrating in one spot at that specific frequency.
i really like the fact that Neil considers himself my personal astro physicist. thank you for that, Neil, you've got the job any day of my life! much love from Germany!
Somedays I have to rewatch the shows at least three times to grasp most of what Neil was saying, God bless you Chuck don’t know how you keep up with Neil so easily
right! some people make fun of chuck but I know damn well I wouldn't be able to keep up! I know what I know and that's public health/polotics, not astro physics lol
check is there to be our "everyman" point of view.... (he's also my favorite co-host by far!!) I'd love to have both of them sitting around a campfire or quiet bar table sharing a drink, and ask them about what fascinates them in science...
What if chucks wants to go out and do other stuff? It'd be sad but sometimes it happens. And it'd happen not because chuck hates this but sometimes people just wanna go out and do something new.
Who is here that has realized that Lord Chuck could be taking some lessons/classes in Theoretical physics or experimental physics? Damn, the guy is so sharp nowadays and knowledgeable. Indeed birds that flock together stay together. Kudos Chuck,,,
Sorry to hear that . Unfortunately it happens , dogs , other pets , people . Grief is the price of love , as hard as grief is to endure , it's better than a life without love . The grief will fade , the love will endure in memory . Be kind to yourself .
That was great, thanks guys! Keep up the fantastic work! I LOVED those questions. The answers were amazing, well delivered, and I appreciate Doctor Chuck's childlike wonder on many of those! Cheers!
Great episode! One thing you could also say about clouds are that they are made up of very small particles of water, each of which is buoyant enough to follow air currents. However, when these collect together they form drops of rain or snowflakes that are ‘heavy’ enough to be affected by gravity and fall. In cumulonimbus clouds, sometimes the updraft of air is so severe that hail that is falling is sent back up to gain size. That’s why you occasionally hear of ‘softball’ sized hail. The forces in thunderstorms are amazing.
Thanks for answering my question about particles guys!!! That's an amazing answer! My wife and I were listening to the show in the car and when Chuck read my name, which we weren't expecting at all, we were just listening to an episode of Startalk, we looked at each other and freaked out😂😂😂
Thank you gentlemen for another educational and entertaining episode. Chuck, the Cajun chef to whom you refer is probably Justin Wilson. He was indeed on PBS back in the days when dinosaurs walked the earth (I know because I too was there) and was also entertaining and educational in all manner of food.
When I have nothing I still have startalk. It’s a breath of fresh air to see people thinking outside of the boundaries of thought that it feels like we were meant to be trapped in. My brain only feels free during these times. Between thinking about work and my small family this is a light for me and I will be forever great full
Times are hard for me right now but wish I was a patron member this channel is by far my favourite! Still fantastic we get most of it free but theres 2 questions I have that I simply cant find any remote answer that comes even close to satisfaction, maybe there isnt any but I know for should if NDT didnt want to even make an attempt! ❤
so. i think my idea about the double slit experiment is actually correct. when you do the double slit experiment and cause the interference pattern to emerge the photon is actually slowing down through time but in space it becomes unstable and can appear in a random location. it fell beneath the electromagnetic spectrum and all we are left with is evidence the waves which the photon was once surfing on before the experiment "broke down" maybe this is how you explain vaccum energy? idk some random thoughts for ya
What an AWESOME episode of StarTalk!! You guys covered everything from String Theory, General Relativity along with the Equivalence Principle, geometry of space-time, why orbits are elipses (and not circles), science of neutrinos and their differences from electrons, evolution of the Universe...(did I miss anything?) You can all go home now having solved all of physics! :D
Chuck's deftly tuned wit always enhances Neal's style of delivery. More evidence for the hypothesis that learning new information seems to be more easily achieved while one is in a good mood.
The best thing to start a day with!! Meditative, contemplative and so much fun even for the science layman with a curious mind!! Thanks team Startalk!!
Chuck deserves to live on this program full-time - I don't care if he can't pronounce names more complex than Mark and Chris, his humor fits perfectly.
I'm so happy I'm part of a generation that can just turn on thoer phone n search unlimited information..I wished throughout school I had this but having access now keeps me learning something new every single day or several things a day.im excited always to listen to yall n I'm not stuck begging a teacher or getting to a library..which took away so much time that I can now spend wide eyed ears open n soaking this all in.thank you GOD n thank u Neil n others for sharing so much knowledge..we couldn't ask or want 4 more.its the best!
37:06 The guy you were referring too is Justin Wilson. The show was called " Louisiana Cookin' " on PBS. My mother and I loved watching his program back in the day and hearing his stories. I hardly knew what he was saying (other than, "I guarONtee"), but my southern mother understood his every word. 🤣
I love seeing this wholesome, fun, black energy in the context of an educational science video- as well as how you treated each and every question as being just as valid as the next, always entertaining everyone's wonder and curiosity. I laughed a lot and really enjoyed this- you guys rock!
@@orilion1820 that energy that tends to arise when black people are in their element, having a great time. I don't know what else to call it but it's not a vibe anyone else but black people can authentically bring- not at all to say that other cultures don't have their own very specific awesome vibes as well. I'm just saying, I love to see it in this context especially when the field is often so dominated by white men with a very serious approach.
Virtual particles linked by wormholes that weave the fabric of space and time blew my mind. And also the beginning of the universe still existing within the 4th dimension of time, the time arcs on the surface of the balloon. Losing sleep on this gumbo for sure.
Archimedes gave us a good theory of buoyancy back in 200-and-something BCE, it seems to me. A very clever and productive human, he was. It seems to me we should be teaching the sciences in schools with historic scientific discoveries such as his, partly because we've had over 2,200 years if scientific observations to show some way in which he was wrong, and that's a good sign of a very successful theory :-)
i learned by no mans sky that its actually faster to rise above the atmosphere to travel somewhere than to travel through it. so it would take longer to fly a jet along the surface of the earth than it would if you went some distance into the sky and then back down again. thats what the game taught me at least idk if thats reality :)
I have much respect for your knowledge and wisdom. There's no quantum entanglement, because a particle swings like the electrons in a copper wire. And Universe doesn't care about time, only because we on earth need something to connect trains together. And if someone travels he will have to come back the same distance, so we only have the moment the now the present.
It swings from being in both states, because it is being propelled by energy that will collapse under investigation, once equated to a scale of perception?
The whole neutrino oscillation discussion gets me thinking about the whole possibility that the universe keeps pulling a veil over our eyes to hide the truth from us... big galaxies in the early universe, neutrinos that change so we can't measure the original flavor, the inability to localize electrons. I feel like it's all connected to some elaborately woven conspiracy conjured up by the universe itself.
Hi guyes. As per the things I have been talking about for 40 years. Yes, space time can have bubbles which, if the energy density arround them is sufficient. can form resonant vortices which make particles. stable, due to the resonance in space time, consistant with protons, electrons and neutrons, etc. Consistent with the quantization of spacetime. As per the idea i have put forth for the last 40 years. Thanks guys. this has been a lot of fun listening to you.
Every time Neil talks about how quantum entanglement works, it sounds like its just travelling through a fourth dimensional pathway we have yet to learn to observe.
It is wrong. It is "Would have." The pronunciation gets in the way of the meaning. The pronunciation is a contraction: "would've" It is pronounced the same as "would of." That is how we end up with incorrect words. An English teacher these days would probably bury their face in their hands, roll their eyes skyward, and sigh helplessly at the fact that their students refuse to learn any semblance of standard grammar, syntax, spelling, and style.
Humanity's issues not "humanities issues." The nonsense term "humanities" is a woman(aka vague and useless) term similar to amenities in it being a worthless word for " useful items in a place or situation you are in" but more worthless as it is a super vague reference to "the state of affairs" in cultivating all the avenues of curiosity and general experience that is typical in the human existence. Intellectual males are just females in the bodies of men, they adore obnoxious vagueness and inventing useless terns to reflect their fragments~tangents of retardation or "perspective." So called "humanities" is just one such worthless perspective.
The more you know Particle: 1. **Lexico**: "Tiny, Subatomic, Quantum Entities" - Highlighting the small-scale nature of particles and their connection to quantum physics. **Definitional**: "Essential Building Blocks, Constituting Matter, Essential Components" - Emphasizing their fundamental role in constructing matter. **Acrostic**: "Pervading, Abundant, Regulating, Tiniest, Interacting, Creating, Limitless, Entities" - Describing particles as abundant, regulating, and creating entities with interactions at the smallest scale.
@Walker Fowland & @Niel - The answer is roughly YES! In 4-dimensional spacetime, gravity causes geodesics to get closer and sometimes intersect (on a sphere, they must intersect because they have nowhere else to go, but there's more room in 4D space for them to miss each other). Gravitating bodies just follow geodesics
This is my favorite StarTalk to date! Dunning-kruger for flat-earthers, revaluations about electrons and Niel saying “I didn’t know that”! 🤯 Intelligence is knowing what you know and knowing what you don’t know and these guys display that to wonderful effect
I love this channel, I watch every video immediately and some twice, especially if Chuck is in it. BTW, how can you listen to this and not believe that God is in every atom and Jesus IS the Light, and through Him we can enter ETERNITY? Be blessed!
Why do we think that space-time is emergent and not fundamental? Honestly, it's the deepest question I've ever heard. Got me here, stewing in my thoughts
Because Quantum Interactions experience no time. You can reverse almost any Quantum Interaction. But you cannot reverse a Waterfall and have it make sense still. Meaning that Time is a Pattern that We Experienced and Evolved To. This idea goes really deep into Thermodynamics and Entropy. Time can also be described as Hidden Information. It is the Process of Information hiding itself. I drop a Book from 2 feet and it lands on the ground. If you look at the book on the ground it is Impossible for you to tell me from what height it was dropped. As Time proceeded Forward Information got Hidden and that process is what drives Time. If you were a God and were Omniscient and could measure the damage done to book and reverse calculate its height. You would suddenly experience no time. Theoretically.
Watching these videos have really helped me because i would wonder a lot of these questions but wouldn’t know who or where to go for some explanation. I’m not sure if i can 100% agree upon all these answers but I sure can relate and just keep learning
String theory is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not because you know there's a needle in there, but because it has a lot of things that look kind of like needles.
Grab Bag Edition is perhaps my absolute favoritest version of this show 😻 not just for the content but also hearing the thoughts and curiosities of people abroad 😺 (and let's be honest... that's when Chuck's at his Chuckiest!) 😹
Ok 2 things come to mind when I was watching this episode: 1. Did Chuck paint the picture of the penguin on the desk behind him? 2. maybe all we have to do to understand these Galaxies that, we think, shouldn't be there is to give up our supposition that the BB was the "Beginning" and not just one iteration of a symphony of BBs playing out on a much grander scale in a infinity we don't understand yet.
I think that when the listener said "barbaric" he meant it in the sense of "primitive, crude, heavy-handed." So it had nothing to do with the "feelings" of particles and whatnot. ❤ Love the show, y'all!" ❤
So @16:45 could that possibly be the JWST performing so well it is seeing what is behind what we perceived as the big bang such as an early universe galaxy from the other side and perhaps looking further past that would reveal a universe similar to ours in the opposite direction? I mean, if a big bang happened, it all didn't just go in one direction, right?
What are your thoughts on string theory? Is it still worth trying to prove it, or should we refocus our efforts on other scientific questions?
Why not do everything at once?
Some of the surreal suggestions from string theory kind of upset me. Like calculating the pattern on Russell’s teapot and debating who is right with a captive audience

This is an amazing and wonderful session. That took some real stamina for both of them.

Justin Wilson is the chef!
24:09 No, Chuck, you don't mean "sentient" aka "having senses," you mean *Sapient* aka "having sense of self."
Yes the electron bit was nice I'm right there with you Chuck, amazing! thanks Neil
But is it True? Pretty sure I learned a relative size of the electron to the nucleus. Why did that change?
i learned by no mans sky that its actually faster to rise above the atmosphere to travel somewhere than to travel through it. so it would take longer to fly a jet along the surface of the earth than it would if you went some distance into the sky and then back down again.

Hence the term "metaphysics."
pretty sure it literally starts as philosophy until it can be proven with the scientific method

That information on neutrinos is so cool! Neil always explains things in such an understandable way. 😊
I love this channel, I watch every video immediately and some twice, especially if Chuck is in it. BTW, how can you listen to this and not believe that God is in every atom and Jesus IS the Light, and through Him we can enter ETERNITY? Be blessed!
Why do we think that space-time is emergent and not fundamental? Honestly, it's the deepest question I've ever heard. Got me here, stewing in my thoughts
Because Quantum Interactions experience no time. You can reverse almost any Quantum Interaction. But you cannot reverse a Waterfall and have it make sense still. Meaning that Time is a Pattern that We Experienced and Evolved To.
This idea goes really deep into Thermodynamics and Entropy. Time can also be described as Hidden Information. It is the Process of Information hiding itself. I drop a Book from 2 feet and it lands on the ground. If you look at the book on the ground it is Impossible for you to tell me from what height it was dropped. As Time proceeded Forward Information got Hidden and that process is what drives Time. If you were a God and were Omniscient and could measure the damage done to book and reverse calculate its height. You would suddenly experience no time. Theoretically.
1 year ago and chuck was still being awesome... someone needs to immotalize tthis duo in an animation cosmicqueries show
Watching these videos have really helped me because i would wonder a lot of these questions but wouldn’t know who or where to go for some explanation. I’m not sure if i can 100% agree upon all these answers but I sure can relate and just keep learning
Wow....Impressed by Chuck's understanding of neutrinos and the relationship to the speed of light.
Bring in Sheldon Cooper to help with that whole String Theory thing!
String theory is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not because you know there's a needle in there, but because it has a lot of things that look kind of like needles.
Love this channel! I once had a cosmology teacher like this once and it was great.
Grab Bag Edition is perhaps my absolute favoritest version of this show 😻
not just for the content but also hearing the thoughts and curiosities of people abroad 😺
(and let's be honest... that's when Chuck's at his Chuckiest!) 😹
Neil and Chuck y'all rock! Peace
Ok 2 things come to mind when I was watching this episode:
1. Did Chuck paint the picture of the penguin on the desk behind him?
2. maybe all we have to do to understand these Galaxies that, we think, shouldn't be there is to give up our supposition that the BB was the "Beginning" and not just one iteration of a symphony of BBs playing out on a much grander scale in a infinity we don't understand yet.
I think that when the listener said "barbaric" he meant it in the sense of "primitive, crude, heavy-handed."
So it had nothing to do with the "feelings" of particles and whatnot.
❤ Love the show, y'all!" ❤
Dayum what an excellent episode. Great questions, more of these please
perhaps the best ep yet, all great questions
Y'all should do a full Cosmic of ALL Violetta questions...that would be super coo...she would squeal so happily! 😁😁😆
I wish these went Longer
He's name was Justin on PBS AT 37:10
Chuck and Neil are the perfect combo
So @16:45 could that possibly be the JWST performing so well it is seeing what is behind what we perceived as the big bang such as an early universe galaxy from the other side and perhaps looking further past that would reveal a universe similar to ours in the opposite direction? I mean, if a big bang happened, it all didn't just go in one direction, right?
Here we go!!! I Love this stuff and my kids do too. Thank you so much.
For the last 2 years I've listened to star talk every night in bed, thankyou Neil and Chuck for the knowledge and the laughs!!
