      🔷 The Conglomerate of Universes - Universe Creation Theory 🔷
      combining GOD/Nature, ancient religions, astronomy, cosmology, fined-tuned laws of physics/general relativity/quantum mechanics, chaos theory/fractals, laws of biology & chemistry, linguistics/code-breaking, programming the Universe/GOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4 theory, intelligent design, mysticism, and philosophy/anthropic principle

      "Energy can’t be created or destroyed, only transformed/transferred in an isolated system." General relativity's black holes, white holes, Big Bang and wormholes.

      ‘The BIG Bang-Bit Bang’ inflation/expansion of energy₇₄ and information into the void 13.8 billion years ago was a supermassive white hole spawned by a supermassive black hole at the heart of a galaxy in our ‘parent₇₄ universe’. This duality combines general relativity’s singularities of infinite density breaking through spacetime in ‘Cosmic Egg hatchings’ of all created universes within ‘The Conglomerate’: multiverse with no random quantum fluctuation bubble universes, no parallel worlds, and no universes with different physical laws. Our Universe is 1-in-2 trillion ‘self-similar offspring’ each with the same inherited ‘DNA’.
      “In the beginning”, the Planck density of the core of a SBH is a birth canal. ‘Quantum bounce SBH-SWH seed transitions’ are ‘quantum tunneling umbilical wormholes’ with energy-matter and data transformed/transferred, albeit scrambled and encoded. The ubiquitous cause-and-effect ‘circle of life cycle’: birth-life-death-transformation-rebirth explains infinite space and eternity - a necessity. Reproduction is GOD/Nature’s plan for greatly spreading life from cells to universes. GOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4 is the #1 program₇₄/law/initial₇₄ condition (Seal #2).
      Why does this Universe exist? It’s our playground (god + run = ground₆₄).
      - Seal #1a of the 7seals.blogspot.com . Only the returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce this - it's triggered The Apocalypse/ Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'. COVID-19 is part of Seal #4: S=19 (18.6) Theory.

      Even if there were no charged particles, there can be electric fields. If there were no moving charges there still can be magnetic fields, similarly if you remove the planets you will still have gravitational field, IS NOT TRUE, not observable and not verifiable. Sorry Sean Carroll, you are not paid enough to answer such questions, as you admitted, but you were paid enough not to misinform the public.

    Best science communicator I've found to this day. I feel much, much, much more deeply educated after listening to him explain a topic than others I've ever heard. He has a very unique talent for simplifying topics to the level of the layman without "dumbing down" the science - or more specifically, he can simplify a topic without doing so in a way that sacrifices scientific accuracy and rigor in order to make it fit the audience's prejudices and past mis-education. Or, maybe I should say he clears up misconceptions as he speaks while others I listen to try to just pass over the misconceptions so they can put it on our "level." Sean instead raises consciousness and understanding so we can be properly educated.

    • @colinshawhan8590

      I think of it as science literacy. He is communicating the basic concepts in terms that a journalist or doctor, a non-physicist, can understand and at least appreciate what the underlying concepts are. He likely doesn't know much about the gall bladder, but somewhere he took a biology course so he is scientifically literate about the fact that it produces bile, or whatever. What's that mean? He doesn't care, that's a doctor's job.

    Sean Carroll is a national treasure. He is a great teacher and a great mind all in one. What he says about patience and physicists is true, but he seems to have found a pragmatic loophole through which he can communicate effectively. In earnestness there are clues that exist through human pathos, though not all that is science, it often provides more information than the fundamentality of boilerplate. Thanks for this.

      @@iqtime1400 Space-Time. If you want to go further: special relativity is a good place to look for time\length explanations. If you want gravity: General Relativity is what you should look for. That's a tough subject. But some youtube vids give a bit of an idea. If a deeper understanding is what you're after you will need calculus (differential equations) and a very good understanding of "tensors" and vectors. It's a process. There is no easy shortcut for GR.
      (I shouldn't even attempt it, but: gravity is a distortion or curve in otherwise flat space. This curve is generated by matter (or mass). Once space has a curve, the stuff in space follows that curved shape. It feels like acceleration. That acceleration-like thing is gravity.
      If you were driving your car in a straight line you would feel nothing. But turn the wheel and make a curve: you feel a force. Now lets say that curve is actually a straight line, and it is space itself that's curved. You would feel a force no matter what path you tried to take. This is sort of what gravity is. And matter puts the curve in space. Everything is trying to follow a straight line, but all straight lines drawn on a curved surface are curves themselves. So that's your 'gravity'. The more matter, the tighter the curve gets. The tighter the curve, the more gravity force you feel. Even if you are not moving, but you are in curved space.
      ....Well that's idea in a paragraph anyhow. It really needs some time and effort to appreciate. So check out some vids and go for it.

    Sean,Imagine a Probability Density FOURIER pulse to be stroboscopic, whose time between collapses is constant and the pulse existential time a function of energy. All fields coexist in the totality of space, and could vibrate, given a characteristic range of each field, in the presence of a given quantum levels of energy, that generates the pulse that characterizes the particles we detect during collision. The Probability Fourier Pulse concept is the same mathematically as that for generating standing pulses for string instruments. The displacement of the pulse is not continuous given that, a collapse is required before it resurges at a given infinitesimal distance. Please notice that this model is consistent with” time dilation” at significant levels of velocity or when it is stationary at a significant gravitational pull

There is an astro physicist named Becky you might like. She is really sweet and talks about...ya know... stars and stuff.

    At 38:51 -- most important and illustrated with fun examples, look here (quote):
    If the electrons were massless it would not ever stick to a nucleus;
    if the electrons were massless there would be no such thing as molecules, or chemistry, or life,
    the world with massless electrons would be a very very boring place indeed, there would be no Fermilab, no public lectures, nothing like that.
    He has humor! This is such a great way to explain the hierarchy of basic ontology (existence).

    Outstanding presentation. I now understand the confusion between thinking of matter as particles rather than waves. I'm still a bit confused about why the waves appear as particles once they are observed/ recorded.

    Dr.C. is are able to make a delight of your ignorance, and to have you enjoy even the bits that you don't understand, to bring genuine intellectual curiosity, joy of exploring the unknown, to lead you up to previously opaque windows and let you see through them with almost naïve wonder, as a child who is exploring a field of snow for the first time.

      Professionally, maybe, but you can still learn yourself some physics. The Theoretical Minimum is a good place to start, then you can learn the more advanced stuff with Goldstein (Classical mechanics), Griffiths then Schwartz (electromagnetism/electrodynamics), Ballentine(book) & Frederic Schuller(lectures) (Quantum mechanics), Sean Caroll & The Heraeus Winter School for Gravity and Light w/ Frederic Schuller (General Relativity), etc.
      For the maths, ocw.mit.edu should do the trick (linear algebra; calculus, single- & multi-variable, differential equations, etc.), and Khan Academy is great if you need to brush up on the basics.
      Once that's done, you can get to QFT and particle physics. Not an easy ride but, if you're really interested, the Internet has made learning that stuff easier than ever before, especially considering that you have access to lectures from real universities. ;-)
      Also, you can get degrees from websites such as EdX and Coursera. Depending on where you live, they may be recognized, so if you really want it, the door is still open.

    Sean Carroll is a national treasure, like the Grand Canyon, the Apollo moon rocket, and Pringles Jalapeño chips. If it was possible for Carroll, Krauss, Einstein, Feynman, Maxwell, Newton, and Faraday to meet, the universe wound explode in the bright light of genius.
    Whenever I feel that humanity sucks, I realize that it only takes a few great thinkers to save it.

    How do we really know there are distinct fields as opposed to just one field whereby the multiple fields perspective interactions (or lack thereof) are some sort of additive/subtractive synthesis of the singular underlying field of reality?
