Uh, excuse me, but the CERN experiments left out a few prerequisites: 1 - a pre-existent source of energy, 2 - a pre-energy process for forming forms & modes, 3 - a pre-existing cause of the previous prerequisites (of existence & expansion/explosion), 4 - pre-existing forms, properties & processes that enable expansive/explosive action/reaction, 5 - pre-existing causes of motion, implosion, expansion/explosion, etc., 6 - pre-causal sources/processes to endow the tiniest forms of form with powers, etc., 7 - pre-existent principles & qualities of being that enabled & sustain everything, 8 - pre-natural causes for everything existing in a the tiniest possible point of nothingness in the middle nowhere, 9 - existential causes of a sudden expansion of nothingness to the size of a tennis ball then, without definite causes, to become an ongoing explosion of everything (at least 93 billion LY in diameter, so far), and 10 - a cause of belief in a SM QM cosmology that ignores the preceding 9 prerequisites of being, existence, AKA reality. > So, a real recipe for a universe of being, its nature & energy has to start with nonphysical thus changelessly reliable enabling principles.
I had an emotional reaction when I finally understood the concept of quantum fields during this video. I had to remove my glasses from my face and cat from my lap and just absorb this for a long moment.
Amazing job to share this incredible knowledge with all of us and to make it digestible for people like me who have little understanding of this highly advanced field of sience.
I watch his videos on my 81" TV, and it looks awesome! Thank you very much for breaking it down for regular people like me and my family. We are fascinated with his brilliant presenta, and we're learning a lot from you Mr Harry....
Lol, excellent. I wonder tho, what instruments, maths, and techniques were used to predict and detect the particles in a Cliff that Dr. Universe utilized compile his book. I suppose we just have to watch that lecture as well. Cheers
A very interesting talk. I think Democritus is judged a bit harshly since the man lived 2500 years ago. Very little of his atomic hypothesis has survived to be seriously assessed, but as with many ancient Greek philosophers whose admirable speculations on the natural world certainly marks the beginning of humankind’s enquiry, it is not so much what they achieved but what they attempted. If anything, successors to these early speculators are far more guilty for not taking up and developing the more promising of these early ideas. The Atomic hypothesis of Democritus is reportedly a very small part of his total output, which also included contributions in mathematics, ethics, politics, biology, cosmology etc. In any-case, it was 2000 years later before any real scientific process was made. Give him his due! This is not to take away any credit from John Dalton’s great contribution to chemistry.
Taking nothing away from Democritus and his fellow Greek philosophers, it's a bit of a strech to claim that their thoughts & speculations marks humankind's enquiry 😂😂 Lot of other cultures including some from the cradle itself started this exploration from way before
@@karthikshiva9801 No doubt other cultures contributed to human knowledge, much lost to history. It is open to question, but it is generally accepted that this period in Greece marks the most important development in human enquiry.
It's fascinating how even the smartest people are overwhelmed by their national pride. He had to dismiss Democritus as a mere windbag and replace him by Englishman John Dalton, who lived more than two thousand years later. Amazing.
I remember watching the Higgs announcement live. I was amazed at how well I understood the presentations as a lay person. Witnessing the announcement live, seeing the graphs and realizing how long it took to answer that question made for quite an experience.
The standard model idea makes sense to me but if I was a physicist trying to figure it out, in the same way that I repair cars I always tend to end up with important looking bits left over that I have no idea where they go. Sure the car will run but I do keep those bits in a box in the back just in case. Yes I'm not a physicist but I love these lectures

About Inflation... What would be the difference between something happening really fast vs something happening at a slower rate but nothing or very little changed during that time and then fell off the horizon of what we could detect?
Indeed, to make an apple pie you need to make a universe. Maldacena (21st century Einstein) conjectured that the universe is a QC function, error correcting, coherent and deterministic, implying divine purpose (not Sagan's accident). And before you cook your apple pie, you need a finite axion algorithm, you will never get.
I am almost halfway through the book and it too is beautifully fluid and engaging - quite a skill for what you might imagine would be a very challenging subject. Am getting smarter by the page.

Postulating "God" does not resolve any conundrums; it compound them. A super-intelligent being is highly unlikely to simply exist without cause at the beginning of time. The traditional notion of "God" is not only wrong, but ridiculous, and it is certainly unscientific.

I seems that physicists were not computing the properties of the muon correctly in the past. This seems to explain the g-2 anomaly and may also explain the LHCb anomaly.
From the near infinite capacitance of the Inertial plane out the electron vortex. Pulses from Counterspace create shells of tau, muon, electron. "The smaller the spacial footprint, the higher the capacitance." "The higher the gauss, the smaller its field."
9:02 secs do photons have a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery small mass? complexity thresholds and coalescence of slowed light into matter. Compactification can be seen in the 5 fundamental nodes of plasma movement... compactification of enegy and volume can be studied and foresite can be used as well...
Sorry, it was interesting until minute 13:30 ... "Beetlejuice is about 10x larger than our sun" ??? It is about 950x larger than our sun! Really struggling to watch further honestly. I am not even an amateur. How can someone lecturing on the RI make such a mistake? Ignorance?
... sorry ... taking a step back ... he is a good Particle Physicist ... just not that great of an Astro Physicist ;) I admit it gets interesting when he is talking about his real stuff ;)
remember too that radiation can be due to internal complexity, and / or surface complexity upon a knot, diffable not continuuous however... its both, especially under different scaling lengths.
ohhhhh it drove me nuts he said parallel and not perpendicular, lol I am crazy, it digs into me so deep only because I know that he knows what he saw in his brain versus what he actually said was not the same I only care so much because 99.9999% everything else he said was accurate and very very well presented, this was 1% away from being the perfect RI lecture I have seen Great job Gary, please keep publishing your stuff for free Why can I not easily tag someone in the video in my comments .......... youtube
Any kind of confined interaction represents mass. A photon has no rest mass, but if you put it into a perfect mirrored box, then even though it's bouncing around at the speed of light, from a distance the box appears to have a photon that's basically at rest since it's not moving out of the box. The photon box thus has a confined interaction (photon with the walls of the box) and it has a mass proportional to the number of photons in the box, due to E=mc^2. Also, the more tightly confined the photons, the smaller their wavelength must be, and thus the more mass the box has (this comes from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle). This is how protons and neutrons get most of their mass: they are systems of tightly confined quarks and gluons which have little to no mass themselves, but because they're stuck in a tiny "box", they have significant mass. By the way, this same thing does apply to other confined systems like electrons in an atom, but because the forces involved are quite weak, this confined interaction mass is negligible. Electrons themselves are always engaging in an interaction with the Higgs field which changes a particular property back and forth at a tremendous frequency. Electrons cannot escape this interaction because the Higgs field has a positive value everywhere; if not for this interaction, electrons would retain one of these values until colliding with another discrete particle. Thus electrons are constantly in a confined "box" of interaction created by the Higgs field. This means that electrons have mass even if they're not apparently interacting with anything, because actually they're always interacting with the Higgs field at a high frequency. Finally, any mass causes a curvature in spacetime. You can think of photons as always going in straight lines, with what counts as "straight" being distorted by mass. You can also think of photons as interacting with anything with mass. Both views are equivalent so long as they arrive at the same answer, so it's a matter of taste which way you'd prefer to think about it.
_"to make a particle all you have to do is put some energy into a field there you have it."_ What he seems to be totally ignorant of is the fact that atoms have a complex structure. That is they are *ordered* states of matter whereas energy is highly *disordered* and the assumption that disorder can produce order must be *demonstrated* because it in principle violates the second law. No experiment starting with pure energy has ever been shown to produce a *residual* of matter (ie without antimatter). Quarks and Gluons and Electrons all have their antimatter equivalents so it is a real problem as to how you get a plasma of these in the first place.
Most profound question _"where did it [all] come from?"_ answer _"we don't 'yet' know!"_ The _"yet"_ is the code flag for *scientism* or *science of the gaps!* Which all just means _"we know the theory violates the laws of physics (and is therefore falsified) but we have FAITH that some unknown FUTURE SCIENCE will solve it."_ because otherwise we've got *God* to deal with and we can't have that can we, even if its true.
Occam's Razor. We must assume there is some reasonably simple explanation. An infinitely intelligent being is an infinitely complex explanation. The human brain is biased to think of people as being simple, because we have lots of brainpower evolved to model other people, but in reality the human brain is the most complicated thing on Earth, and a god would be infinitely more complex.
@@lordcirth Try to think of it this way. All the matter, all the energy, all the atoms and stars which are of the physical realm and even the numbers, math, physics, etc. which are conceptual (a product of the mind) all came from The Creator of All Things. He is beyond the Physical as he is Spirit. You can not measure Spirit or True Consciousness (The Mind of God) by any human or empirical means as the Cosmos itself including Space and Time all came from him! How am I able to claim this? From all that I have taken in, learned, observed the more I study, experience things, etc... the more I see nothing but pure Intelligent Design behind it all. Where's my proof? I am the proof as I am just one single soul within a mortal flesh body that happens to be a product of his Holy Words crafted by His Hands. Someone had to "write our DNA". The structure, order, and encoded instructions did not happen by mere random chance and luck! If it was all just random chance and luck as to how we came to be, then what purpose is there and what's the point? We are here for a purpose and we are morally obligated to our thoughts, choices and actions! I have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and it is beyond human comprehension based on worlds and meaning alone.
@@lordcirth *Wrong!* Occam's Razor does *not* say _"assume there is some reasonably simple explanation."_ It says *Of all the possible explanations we choose the simplest.* Nature is not a possible explanation for the origin of the universe nor any of the ordered structures in it because nature must obey a law of decreasing order with time. So the question how did it get ordered in the first place excludes nature. The simplest and only possible explanation is therefore supernatural from outside of the universe and that accords with the God who told us about himself in the bible. To say the infinite God is _"infinitely complex"_ assumes he is made of something else like atoms as we are but that is *not* what bible believing Christians believe nor haw he describes himself in the bible. If you want to argue against the God of the bible then you need to use the bible and get that much right before you go publicly exposing your ignorance.
@@skilz8098 The thing about "proof" - more correctly "evidence", as it's never really absolute - is that you have to be able to show it to other people. Feeling a presence is not something you can show to other people, or measure. So you can believe it if you want, but you cannot expect anyone else to.
In the realm of cosmic wonder, where mysteries unfurl, Harry Cliff beckons, with wisdom to swirl. "What does it take to make a universe?" he asks, In the cosmic dance, where questions bask. At The Royal Institution, where knowledge gleams, Harry guides us through the cosmic streams. From the birth of stars to the depths of space, He unveils the secrets of time and place. With every particle collision, a glimpse of creation, In the quest for answers, a cosmic sensation. From quarks to galaxies, in the cosmic ballet, Harry Cliff leads the way, night and day. What forces shape the fabric of existence? In the symphony of particles, with persistent insistence. Dark matter, black holes, and the cosmic dust, Harry's insights, in the universe's trust. In the tapestry of space-time, where wonders reside, Harry Cliff's wisdom, like a cosmic guide. With every question asked, a universe unfurls, In the cosmic journey, where knowledge swirls.
Or, Matter is in Space and Mass is in Counterspace! The Bullet Cluster Galaxy. Have a wheel rotating, stop the wheel, let go. The wheel starts rotating, because its Mass in Counterspace is still rotating.
_"there are definitely gaps in our recipe for apple pie"_ Really.. what about the origin of the *mind* with the *purpose* and *reason* for making an apple pie in the first place.. *Who wanted one and where did that "who" come from?*
Wait, if the Higgs had a zero value (thus making all particles massless) you said atoms don’t form. But I thought atoms formed through the strong nuclear force and not gravity. Am I missing something?
We are so pleased and honoured to have been able to launch our friend Harry Cliff's new book in our newly reopened lecture theatre!

So, is matter (actually, mass) just an emergent property of energy slowing down?
If so, then we are all, basically, made of light!!
Still doesn't explain why some are 'brighter' than others, though...

I seems that physicists were not computing the properties of the muon correctly in the past. This seems to explain the g-2 anomaly and may also explain the LHCb anomaly.
Very interesting, thank you.
Very entertaining and interesting video.
Nice one 👍
From the near infinite capacitance of the Inertial plane out the electron vortex. Pulses from Counterspace create shells of tau, muon, electron.
"The smaller the spacial footprint, the higher the capacitance."
"The higher the gauss, the smaller its field."
Excellent presenter!
9:02 secs do photons have a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery small mass? complexity thresholds and coalescence of slowed light into matter. Compactification can be seen in the 5 fundamental nodes of plasma movement... compactification of enegy and volume can be studied and foresite can be used as well...
Sorry, it was interesting until minute 13:30 ... "Beetlejuice is about 10x larger than our sun" ??? It is about 950x larger than our sun! Really struggling to watch further honestly. I am not even an amateur. How can someone lecturing on the RI make such a mistake? Ignorance?
... sorry ... taking a step back ... he is a good Particle Physicist ... just not that great of an Astro Physicist ;) I admit it gets interesting when he is talking about his real stuff ;)
Food for thought...
As we ponder the recipe for the universe.
We are all star stuff.
Wonderful 🍎
Back in the lecture theater. Woot woot.
@44:00 Indirectly, he refers to gravity as a force.
THANK YOU...!!!
Amazing talk.
remember too that radiation can be due to internal complexity, and / or surface complexity upon a knot, diffable not continuuous however...
its both, especially under different scaling lengths.
Very good talk
If nothing exists to observe a universe. Does the universe cease to exist.
Maybe life and consciousness plays a bigger role?
ohhhhh it drove me nuts he said parallel and not perpendicular, lol I am crazy, it digs into me so deep only because I know that he knows what he saw in his brain versus what he actually said was not the same
I only care so much because 99.9999% everything else he said was accurate and very very well presented, this was 1% away from being the perfect RI lecture I have seen
Great job Gary, please keep publishing your stuff for free
Why can I not easily tag someone in the video in my comments .......... youtube

So the Higgs Field distorts space time that then distorts the path of photons even though photons are not affected by the Higgs Field themselves?
yups
Any kind of confined interaction represents mass. A photon has no rest mass, but if you put it into a perfect mirrored box, then even though it's bouncing around at the speed of light, from a distance the box appears to have a photon that's basically at rest since it's not moving out of the box. The photon box thus has a confined interaction (photon with the walls of the box) and it has a mass proportional to the number of photons in the box, due to E=mc^2. Also, the more tightly confined the photons, the smaller their wavelength must be, and thus the more mass the box has (this comes from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle). This is how protons and neutrons get most of their mass: they are systems of tightly confined quarks and gluons which have little to no mass themselves, but because they're stuck in a tiny "box", they have significant mass. By the way, this same thing does apply to other confined systems like electrons in an atom, but because the forces involved are quite weak, this confined interaction mass is negligible. Electrons themselves are always engaging in an interaction with the Higgs field which changes a particular property back and forth at a tremendous frequency. Electrons cannot escape this interaction because the Higgs field has a positive value everywhere; if not for this interaction, electrons would retain one of these values until colliding with another discrete particle. Thus electrons are constantly in a confined "box" of interaction created by the Higgs field. This means that electrons have mass even if they're not apparently interacting with anything, because actually they're always interacting with the Higgs field at a high frequency. Finally, any mass causes a curvature in spacetime. You can think of photons as always going in straight lines, with what counts as "straight" being distorted by mass. You can also think of photons as interacting with anything with mass. Both views are equivalent so long as they arrive at the same answer, so it's a matter of taste which way you'd prefer to think about it.
Asking the question is different than having the correct answer
43:06 Beauty is fleeting....
The quantum fields sound a bit like the 19century ether. Didn't Helmholtz think of an atom as a vortex in the "ether fluid"?
We live in a hyper dimensional soundwave universe and the coalescence, trough, crest, and crash of frequencies drop out the sound waves into matter.
_"to make a particle all you have to do is put some energy into a field there you have it."_ What he seems to be totally ignorant of is the fact that atoms have a complex structure. That is they are *ordered* states of matter whereas energy is highly *disordered* and the assumption that disorder can produce order must be *demonstrated* because it in principle violates the second law. No experiment starting with pure energy has ever been shown to produce a *residual* of matter (ie without antimatter). Quarks and Gluons and Electrons all have their antimatter equivalents so it is a real problem as to how you get a plasma of these in the first place.
Most profound question _"where did it [all] come from?"_ answer _"we don't 'yet' know!"_
The _"yet"_ is the code flag for *scientism* or *science of the gaps!*
Which all just means _"we know the theory violates the laws of physics (and is therefore falsified) but we have FAITH that some unknown FUTURE SCIENCE will solve it."_ because otherwise we've got *God* to deal with and we can't have that can we, even if its true.
Genesis 1:1-3, Ecclesiastes 1, & John 1:1-5 about sums it all up!
Occam's Razor. We must assume there is some reasonably simple explanation. An infinitely intelligent being is an infinitely complex explanation. The human brain is biased to think of people as being simple, because we have lots of brainpower evolved to model other people, but in reality the human brain is the most complicated thing on Earth, and a god would be infinitely more complex.
@@lordcirth Try to think of it this way. All the matter, all the energy, all the atoms and stars which are of the physical realm and even the numbers, math, physics, etc. which are conceptual (a product of the mind) all came from The Creator of All Things. He is beyond the Physical as he is Spirit. You can not measure Spirit or True Consciousness (The Mind of God) by any human or empirical means as the Cosmos itself including Space and Time all came from him! How am I able to claim this? From all that I have taken in, learned, observed the more I study, experience things, etc... the more I see nothing but pure Intelligent Design behind it all. Where's my proof? I am the proof as I am just one single soul within a mortal flesh body that happens to be a product of his Holy Words crafted by His Hands. Someone had to "write our DNA". The structure, order, and encoded instructions did not happen by mere random chance and luck! If it was all just random chance and luck as to how we came to be, then what purpose is there and what's the point? We are here for a purpose and we are morally obligated to our thoughts, choices and actions! I have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and it is beyond human comprehension based on worlds and meaning alone.
@@lordcirth *Wrong!* Occam's Razor does *not* say _"assume there is some reasonably simple explanation."_
It says *Of all the possible explanations we choose the simplest.* Nature is not a possible explanation for the origin of the universe nor any of the ordered structures in it because nature must obey a law of decreasing order with time. So the question how did it get ordered in the first place excludes nature. The simplest and only possible explanation is therefore supernatural from outside of the universe and that accords with the God who told us about himself in the bible.
To say the infinite God is _"infinitely complex"_ assumes he is made of something else like atoms as we are but that is *not* what bible believing Christians believe nor haw he describes himself in the bible. If you want to argue against the God of the bible then you need to use the bible and get that much right before you go publicly exposing your ignorance.
@@skilz8098 The thing about "proof" - more correctly "evidence", as it's never really absolute - is that you have to be able to show it to other people. Feeling a presence is not something you can show to other people, or measure. So you can believe it if you want, but you cannot expect anyone else to.

43:17 so quarks turn into Tetris blocks?
Or, Matter is in Space and Mass is in Counterspace!
The Bullet Cluster Galaxy.
Have a wheel rotating, stop the wheel, let go. The wheel starts rotating, because its Mass in Counterspace is still rotating.

Hmmm
_"there are definitely gaps in our recipe for apple pie"_ Really.. what about the origin of the *mind* with the *purpose* and *reason* for making an apple pie in the first place.. *Who wanted one and where did that "who" come from?*
Long waited lecture
The bits of the recipe that are missing are in 77th Pearl: The Perpetual Tree. 🖖🏼
Wait, if the Higgs had a zero value (thus making all particles massless) you said atoms don’t form. But I thought atoms formed through the strong nuclear force and not gravity. Am I missing something?
