  • Is gravity fundamental to the universe? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice explore quantum physics, the fourth dimension, whether H2O is water, and the many-worlds interpretation with theoretical cosmologist Janna Levin, PhD.
    Is space infinitely elastic? If spacetime is a particle at the smallest scales, is there space between spacetime? We get philosophical: is H2O water? We explore the quantization of space, Planck lengths, and whether gravity is an emergent feature of quantum physics. Is gravity a fundamental feature of the universe?
    What would you see in the earliest parts of the Big Bang? We explore how you could rewrite relativity as particle field theory and the geometry and topology of the universe. Learn about the time Einstein let his driver give a talk for him and how the 1919 eclipse changed physics forever.
    We break down the fourth dimension, compactifying space, and Lorentz boosts. Do physics and math view spacetime differently? Neil and Janna discuss the many-worlds interpretation and whether it’s trying to make classical sense of something non-classical. Plus, we explore how quantum teleportation would work. Is the universe in a superposition? Are black holes fundamental particles?

      I don't think anyone who spends time with The Tyson can pass themselves off as "uneducated." With all the years he and Chuck have hung out, The Nice could run his own show if he wanted to!
      If only Carl Sagan had a comedian to bounce things off of, it would have been the only improvement he may have needed. Who could have been that comedian? For some reason, my mind goes to Buddy Hackett. 😸

    Constructive criticism from South Africa:
    Hey Neil,
    I'm a big fan of your show and appreciate how much you share your knowledge.
    One thing I've noticed is that sometimes you cut your guests off mid-sentence. While I know you're enthusiastic to share your thoughts, it can be frustrating for listeners who want to hear the full point the guest is trying to make.
    I've learned so much from you and your guests, and I think letting them complete their ideas would make the show even better.
    Just a suggestion! Keep up the great work.❤

    I used to vehemently hate Neil because i thought he was arrogant, and a know it all, and obnoxious. This was difficult due to my love of cosmology and science at large. He would come up in numerous videos I watched and he just sort of became a necessary evil in my search for understanding of the universe. But the more he came up, and the more I listened, and heard not just what he said, but also how he said it, and who he is and what his mission is as a human, I can now say I genuinely adore the man. I say this because as I was listening to his monologue at the end and I was staring into his eyes, I realized how much I love and respect him as a scientist and a fellow human, and was struck with this weird feeling that I somehow used to despise the man. Listening to a persons words and learning their heart can change yours. If there is someone you hate today... maybe give them another chance, maybe 10 or 20 or 100 more chances, like I did, and you may very well realize your hate is simply misunderstanding, or your own ignorance.
    Thanks Neil for making the Human Race a group I'm proud to be a part of.

      @@user-dj9iu2et3r I think people mistake a knowledgeable person's passion as arrogance sometimes. Mistaking - especially scientist's knowledge - as absolute, when in reality we're all discoverers and we're all ignorant. Science is just the most efficient method by which we've discovered to make accurate predictions and useful products, so far.
      I doubt any scientist alive believes we're even 1% of the way along revealing everything in their specific field - compared to the vast uncharted worlds of knowledge our descendents will discover this millennium alone.

      The fault of that is more from physicists losing track of what is "reality" and what isn't. Especially the "is math invented or discovered" argument. Math is a language created to DESCRIBE reality. It isn't reality itself. And so the continuation of that is how you have this "quantum wave function", which is just describing probabilities, being treated as reality itself rather than just a description of it. The grass outside is reality. The word "grass" is the description of that reality. The grass is real, the word "grass" isn't.

      "It could be that the wave function is actually what is there..." except it can't. Because it's math written just to describe reality and not reality itself. It's a function describing statistical probability, and reality is under no obligation to go by how you describe what you think it is.

    So think of Space as we know it Only it isn’t “Space” it is filled with Matter (Think of moving through water like a Submarine) the Submarine is the spaceship and the water is Space.

    General relativity and quantum mechanics will never be combined until we realize that they take place at different
    moments in time. Because causality has a speed limit(c)
    every point in space where you observe it from will be the closest to the present moment. When we look out into
    the universe, we see the past which is made of particles
    (GR). When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and
    distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment (QM). The wave property of particles appears
    when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic.
    Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the
    present/past. GR is making measurements in the predictable
    past. QM is trying to make measurements of the probabilistic future

      Oh, I like that.
      I think Roger Penrose would expand on that and say- at great distances when individual particles can have no interaction with any other particle, the scale of space collapses. What was a hot vibrating particle no longer has a reference against which it can be seen to be vibrating - so it becomes totally cold - totally organised.That is the state of Entropy swaps state when scale and relative position can not be measured.
      I'd like to add - information, the observation of any interaction, the structure of relationships is also scale dependent, like one H2O molecule is not 'water', but two of them may be able to interact AS water. They observe each other.

That is just one layer to go back in time 3) the experiment with two slits is easily explained 4) positrons just electrons moving back in time 5) collision of electron and positron destruction of the loop. Therefore , there are so few of them for the whole structure to work.

    Neal, Janna, Chuck.
    The one electron theorem was explained in Dion Fortune's 1942 book, "The Cosmic Doctrine".
    Ring Cosmos (the attraction to the center and the inertia of remaining still), Ring Chaos (the attraction to the circumference and the inertia of remaining in motion - which left unchecked would continue on to oblivion).
    The Ring-Pass-Not becomes the balance point that holds everything within the toric field).
    And that is the point of manifestation.
    (That is what string theory shows.)
    The initial movement between Spirit and matter, once set in motion will continue around indefinitely.
    So yes, until the Oroboros is filled to satiation it is as a plane of existence. Once filled or satiated the Oroborus opens up to exhibit itself as a spiral and then there is a splitting off akin as to one cell becomes two.
    The inversion points are akin to the Guardian of the Above and the Guardian of the below, both of which are our reflections mirroring back to each of us our level of consciousness.
    It's one electron and it ALL OF US.
    See, so WE ARE ALL ONE!

    I think superposition describes the wave function which won't apply to the particle. In transit energy takes wave form and when it contacts a surface that can absorb the energy it reaches it's destination as a particle. What we know as particles are like the holes left behind when a rifleman shoots a target, but to make the analogy work the bullet would be pure energy and travel as a wave.
    Waves also can't be seen by us because of the fundamental properties of waves and our sense of sight. Our sight works because waves of light are reflected off a surface and hit our eyes which take those particles and with the help of our brains were able to get an image of whatever light enters our eyes.
    On a side note I think it's incredibly fascinating how light can relatively accurately portray everything around us. The pure mechanism of light bouncing of a surface and then interacting with our eyes to form shapes, colors, depth, and everything else, it's hard not to be humble.

    • @ZenRyoku

    @shawnreed343 16 днів тому

    In the discussion about rotating euclidian space via a lorentz boost, something in the description right after felt off. You can't actually orientate something within 3-dimensional space without utilizing the lorentz boost (time), or treating it as a portion of a four-dimensional euclidian object being observed in 3-dimensional space, which can be oriented in a separate way from it's other fourth-dimensional counterpart in any 3-dimensionally observable way without breaking 4-th dimensional consistency; but you cannot re-orient something within 3-dimensional euclidian space not utilizing another form of dimensionality without breaking the euclidian space to do so. That is to say, 3-dimensional orientation is static; as are any observations within it. It would be like taking a holographic photo of a room, and never being able to reorient the things in the room without altering the photo or utilizing time in order to accomplish 'change'. Whether that be change in observable perspective, or change in the observed space (eg, people growing physically older as time passes). 'Change' of 3-dimensional space is thus possible only in a fourth dimensional sense, either reconfiguring the observable orientation of 4-dimensional euclidian matter, or considering the natural 'change' of said orientation as 'time'- 4-th dimensional movement observable in our 3-dimensional euclidian capacity. It's much like the common misconception people have of light being the speed of time- that's not accurate: as a thought experiment, let's say there are three stars, stars A, B, and C. Stars A and C are moving directly away from each other at just over half the speed of light, while star B hangs out directly in the middle. Let's say each has a planet with a civilization eventually capable of light-based communication with each other. Light from star A and C will never reach one another; their combined movement would be too fast for light. However, both A and C can communicate with star B. Let's say that star A communicates a message to star B at (for simplicity's sake) one light-year of distance from star B. It reaches star B one light-year later, and they then communicate that same message to star C when they receive it. Star C is already a light-year away, but moving at just over half the speed of light, they'll receive the message from star B that was sent from star A approximately 1.5x more the amount of time it took star A's message to reach star B. Ala, not infinite time. Likewise, light not being a barrier for information exchange. This separates light from having anything to do with 'being' time, it simply measures it in a scale, as Farenheit or Celcius measure temperature. Time exists regardless of light's interaction with it, but our own ability to observe distance- space, is limited by our observation of light through time.
    On another matter, touching on the question regarding the stretchiness of spacetime being finite; in classical theory, if spacetime is not infinitely stretchy, black holes should be 'eating' vast quantities of spacetime far more than what we consider 'matter'. Thus, white holes should expel far more spacetime than matter, and should realistically be observable as cosmic voids. Yes? By some theories, inside a black hole would be a vastness of space compressing possibly leading to a white hole; if this is the case... if a large black hole eats a smaller black hole, if matter and spacetime is swallowed by the blackhole in a causal sense (one thing getting 'eaten' before another), in theory if a swallowed black hole by a black hole means a white hole expelled from a white hole, the distribution of both matter and spacetime/void into a blank canvass lattice would not be even, as say, a black hole that has become a white hole which gotten 'eaten' before another different black hole would come out as a white hole expelling its own 'eaten' spacetime and matter causally before the other 'eaten' blackhole turned whitehole comes out and begins expelling its own 'eaten' contents of spacetime and matter. Ala dark energy, and uneven matter ...what's the term here...? 'Creation'? 'Observability'? Matter's 'coming into existence' within our observability of the universe.
    I realize this is long; I felt it worthwhile to share these thoughts.

    Thank you all for continuing a place for the good conversations. Just wondering if there is any evidence of a molecular harmonic resonance of “consciousness” or agreement of reality, and the discrepancies of frequency are the alternative “energies “ and dimensions we are starting to acknowledge?

    I've heard Neil give this nice explanation of how new research will not "rewrite" physics. It may be helpful to draw a distinction between physics and other sciences that may often end up flip flopping on "findings". For example, it's not uncommon for separate human trials of the same drug to have opposite results. There are rational reasons for these results, of course. I'm just pointing out, that in some fields, we have become accustomed to "science" being completely changed.

    Love ur content thank u for keeping me curious! Since I was a kid I love to stargaze. When I was having a bad day or just time alone I looked up at the stars and made me realize how small I actually am and how I wish I could know all the answers good or bad. I always had curious mind. I have come a long way in my journey but can’t wait to learn more.
