Hope you like the video! For those who might worry, I will also try to make a video about loop quantum gravity as well as other approaches to quantum gravity ;) To tackle this complex subject I was aided by Thomas Harvey, who is doing a PhD on string phenomenology, and who helped me a lot throughout the whole process of creating this video. Thomas was recently interviewed in a video by Simon Clark about quantum field theory : ua-cam.com/video/wDI9WTvSUwI/v-deo.html I was also helped by Antoine Bourget, who is a researcher in theoretical physics, and who corrected some technical details in the script. For those who understand French you can check out his great UA-camchannel "Scientia Egregia" : ua-cam.com/channels/QFaJoQu0TP7je5HchCNjHA.html
If any teachers are watching this, what makes this video particularly great is that it talks about the theory as an ongoing thing we're working on. Every school class I had would make some nod to "scientists are still out there working on things" but then they'd teach a bunch of stuff that's been outdated for years or even decades like it was set in stone and never actually bring up that part, or that a ton of it is just assumed. Kids naturally love to learn because they live in a world of unknowns so it's a valuable skill. But if you sit them down and give them the impression that everything is solved and then give them exercises that already have answers, they learn that learning is useless because someone else already figured out everything they might need, you're telling them the cognitive behaviors to think about things they don't yet have a grasp on are less useful, and the ones for memorizing and repeating are the most useful. That's a really dangerous cycle, and it's apparent in the fact that so many people stop learning as soon as they can get to comfortable.
Absolutely agree, and it's sad that so many adults don't know that, including the ones who shape our education system. The curiosity is squashed out of the classrooms.
I'm a living example of this.I went to Auto-Mechatronic high school, didn't bother studying a single subject because they were making us learn outdated spark plug electricity power supply, we have coil plugs that do million times better job and are easier to understand. Not to mention the fact that they're teaching us in highschool whats inside of them and how they worked before teaching us what they even look like. I was naturally ahead hence i was keen to learn the engines and had already spent many years in workshops but damn never have i "repaired" one or heard of them to be repaired. I dipped from school and passed it with bein sick 3/4 of the year. Useless forced information on everything that's outdated+the things they were teaching were years ahead from the basic knowledge of how such thing works(im talking about enginering it before knowing how it works)
@frankj9270 I apologize, not to be mean, but I guess people having your kind of mentality are running the education system, and the result speaks of itself. He's talking about school not teaching kids the importance of curiosity and research. Which translates into problem solving skills related to problems that don't have answers already. School teach kids to solve exercises that already have an answer, so when they become adults, they don't think for themselves and have this idea that they live in a system that have everything already figured out for them. That's why so many 18 year olds leave high school not knowing what to study or what to do with their lives, because they got used on being told what to do, rather than be curious and exploring for themselves. The education system is broken, and what our wise self greedy politicians don't realize, is that it's such a national security risk for the US, because it'll make foreign governments easily manipulate and sway uneducated and stupid American adults in the present and future.
I was getting goosebumps at supersymmetry but that’s possible explanation of mass as the speed of light but slowed down by a small tightly curled direction was just incredible. This is a mind blowing video.
I know I'm replying to an 8-month-old comment, and maybe it's been brought up elsewhere in the comments (or even right in the video and I've forgotten already!) but it makes me wonder about the part of the theory of special relativity that says accelerating objects gain mass as they approach the speed of light - maybe it's more that they only APPEAR to gain mass, because they're shifting more into the curled-up dimensions? I could be making connections where there are none, since I'm no physics nerd myself and I'm unsure of the theory's own reasoning for that claim, but it's neat to think about. :D
Wait yeah wouldn’t that mean objects with more mass cannot go to our observable lighspeed but instead it’s curled up version which is only a fraction of it. And the reason that objects with more mass have more inertia is because they are actualy going faster and have more energy but we just observe it as slower because it’s curled up.
@@MJaquez55I get your theory, but how would you explain acceleration and deceleration? Wouldn't particles traveling across a curled up dimension be able to accelerate above the speed of light and then be observed to be traveling at for example the speed of light?
@@danielkursitis9031 it would go further in the dimension we see or in the dimension curled up. so, if the path is stretched on a cylinder or scrunched, this would be accelerating vs decelerating
How is it that the quality of these videos is so INSANELY high? The visualitions, the extremely clear and intuitive way things are explained, it's so much better than any other channel. Thank you so much.
I watched this video about a month or so ago. Since then it’s been discovered that neutrinos oscillate between states and its theorized that a 4th state, known as a sterile neutrino, could be a gateway particle to understanding how dark matter works. It immediately made me think of the sections of this video that goes into the 10 dimensional universe part of string theory and I got chills when you mentioned at around 12:40 that superstring theory could also predict the existence of other particles that we can’t see because they reside within higher dimensions.
Nicely written and I hope you have a little critical thinking in reserve, because superstrings can be the magic of the smartest people who want to maintain their lifestyle and the supply of money from the state budget. Similarly, there are furnished churches whose object of faith also cannot be verified and will never be verified. In terms of dimensions, they are not habitable spaces for unknown particles, but "non-spaces" (compacted dimensions) for specific particle properties. In those 10 dimensions there are three big dimensions (our space) and in other compacted dimensions there should be spin, charge ... It turns out that 10 or 10 + 1 is not enough and therefore we already have 27 compacted dimensions, from which it is a problem to switch into our four-dimensional space and neither mass nor constants can be deduced from them ... just nothing. This is just a footnote to think about, because the "Sheldons" do exist in science, have no relevant results, and are unable to do any useful work. Therefore, the company places them in its subsidized "dimensions", in which they can not cause any damage. :)
This is the first description of the small, curled up dimensions predicted by superstring theory that actually allowed me to have some kind of understanding of that's actually supposed to mean, and particularly why they seem to only be relevant at extremely small scales. Understanding that dimensions are essentially just different directions, different degrees of freedom, made it really hard to intuit how they could be smaller, or curved, compared to the familiar ones without that specific visualization.
A related thought experiment for thinking in extra dimensions Imagine a 2D being trying to build a 3D house. It cannot see in the 3rd dimension, only travel through it. The walls of the house, to the 2D being, would need to be giant blocks that nothing can be in. Of course to a 3D being it would just be a simple plane, but to the 2D being it’s an impassible block with nothing inside it except more of the block.
Dude outstanding work. The animations are fluid and intuitive, the explanations easy to understand, and you communicate and craft these ideas in such a way that is incredibly concise without added irrelevant information all while not having to sacrifice the important core of the subject. You have an incredible talent, thank you for what you do.
This channel NEEDS to be recommended to every middle school and high school student learning physics. I can't imagine the amount of interest it would spark when you actually fundamentally understand some of the stuff you're learning about, instead of just memorizing formulas (which was how I was taught.. 😑). I've always preferred biology over physics because I find it harder to visualize what I'm learning about in Physics. Wished this channel actually existed when I was a student 😭
What middle school physics classroom is going over multi-dimensional and quantum calculations? If you were learning that in middle school, you must be a time traveler from a more advanced era
Clear and concise and "why didn't I understand before?" Because it was never before explained so well. Thanks. It is really a good practice to show the limitations on the ideas and what work remains. That adds to the credibility of your presentation. How could this not be interesting!
I understood about 10% of this video. I am blown away by the great minds of the world that can calculate and understand the maths and physics required to work this out. Kudos to those great minds👍
Im impressed by how well explained this is and well animated it is. I'd imagine countless hours were put down just for this video alone. Thank you so much for your work, it was really great.
Agreed ...Concise ang "tight"...yet some American offerings are way overhyped and somewhat childlike in presentation with unnecessary added attempts of humor .
Rarely do I comment on a video to talk about how well made it is. But this time I feel compelled to do so. This was an absolutely excellent video, considering how well it's been put together so that the information remains comprehensible and doesn't confuse me. Not only that, the infographics used and the choice of words was also top notch. Amazing video overall.
I love how this video dosent attempt to entirely explain EVERYTHING we know about string theory, but instead grants new viewers the abbility to search out more information if they want or need to for any reason by giving us the words we need to know to find more information.
We don't know anything about string theory. It's all theoretical math bullshit that stems from the inability to properly study and interact with subatomic particles.
This was very informative. I now can say I at least understand the fundamentals of string theory, which despite the large number of times I've encountered the theory before, this is the first lucid and comprehensive explanation that includes a sensibly selected set of definitions at the beginning to put the entire theory in context. Congratulations. Extremely well done. Thank you!
I'm not exaggerating, I've spent years watching vids of theoretical physics, this channel is the best and the most informative and the easiest to understand. I really really love the way you explain and interpret everything 🥰
SiecnceClic exists first in French. I was like smashed the first time I discovered the channel and was waiting impatiently new videos. It's very rare to see such pedagogical and easy to understand popularization videos. Later when Alessandro Roussel decided to make an English version of his channel, I was also very pleased to notice the quality of Eglish narratives. Thanks to all the team that make this happen. 🤝
This is the most informative and easy to understand video on string theory I have ever watched. The first one where I actually understood the fundamentals of it was one by Kurzgesagt but yours was even more step by step and easier. On that note, you seem to be the kind of person who can finally explain the Calabi Yau Manifold in a way that I can understand. If possible can you make a video explaining it cuz it has been a pain to understand even after reading a ton about it.
I've never been so stunned and amazed at the same time by a physich theory. I'm really thanking to you for your explaination of such a difficult matter, in such easy way.
Best short video on string theory I’ve seen. Isn’t it interesting that 2500 years ago Plato said all reality was built from music and now here we are talking about vibrating strings. And of course Plato is not alone. Many mythologies and creation stories feature music as the agency by which the world was created. A modern version would be Tolkien’s writings on the creation of Middle Earth.
There's this book series I've been hearing about, called the Three Body Problem series or The Rememberance of Earth's Past, which is a scifi that deals with this idea and weaponizes it, and it sounds pretty cool. You might want to read
@@fazom1707 I get where you are coming from. But I feel strongly...that we are just discovering what is already there. Mankind....I believe is in his infancy.
Not certain as to why there are any dislikes on this video, it is by far the most simplistic yet comprehensive avenue to project complex theories. I truly wish we had this tool available during my studies as the books never gave our minds the ability to imagine anything too complex. Thank you to you and your team for this effort.
I have come to really like and appreciate your videos. I am an engineer with a lot of passion to keep up to date on the bleeding edge of theoretical physics. Your videos are not only good at explanations of these theories but the visuals, diagrams, and the music are top notch as well. Please keep creating more videos! And much thanks from a small science enthusiast. :)
Hello! I'd recommend checking out Sabine Hossenfelders videos on theoretical physics. Passionate string theorists like Michiu Kaku got me interested in the field, but there's so much questionable science in string theory, it's good to see healthy pushback. Cheers!
Excellent work! We need more people like you in biochem. You managed to explain within this video an extremely complex phenomenon, its flaws, and a description of how to overcome those flaws all in under 20 minutes. Very impressive!
this is the most clear and intuitive explanation I have ever seen on string theory, and I have seen dozens of videos on this topic which overly complicates things and does do without visuals
I was literally just thinking about this channel a few hours ago, pondering that its been a while since ScienceClic has released a video. Pass out for a few hours, and awake to this! Quantum randomness?? Or entanglement? Not sure anymore!
I really appreciate your videos because they always seem to allow me to grasp some concept in physics a bit better that I vaguely understood beforehand. I have no formal education in these subjects but I still like to try to understand what's going on and these videos have definitely helped me to realize that to some degree. Thank you.
Amazing channel!! Question: Would then be possible that, instead of a wave, the particle is actually travelling in a dimension that we yet cannot see (Like explained) thus making it appear being a probability instead of actually be heading in a single direction?
If it did, then we would observe a change in velocity of the particle during its journey towards the target, since traveling through a different spatial dimension would increase its relative path length. We know them to behave like waves since we have also directly observed their wave nature, ex. shooting photons through a slit produces a diffraction pattern with fringe spacing dependent on the width of the slit. Since we don't observe any changes in velocity i.e. photons all travel the same speed through the same medium, it is unlikely what you said is occuring. However, they do imply here that maybe what we observe to be different materials with different index of refraction are actually just particles which contain curled dimensions. This may be why we observe different velocities for photons traveling through different materials, and why those materials have different masses than others. (I think)
Good idea. But no. This is because of Bells Theorem which sort of explores the way those probabilities work. In short the particle does not have any extra properties (hidden variables, like location on a new dimension). You can look up Bells Theorem/Inequality for more.
This channel is nothing short of amazing. Wow! For me to start to understand quantum physics, space time etc, and just wanting more and more, is absolutely insane, and this channel is the main reason. Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I watched 100s of movies like that, and this one actually resonates with me. The person who wrote the scenario for this cast is an absolute genius. It also shows aspects I had never heard before and were like missing pieces in my understanding. Very cool! Thank you for your hard work!
UA-cam disabled dislikes...largely because political oriented programs were making certain people of a certain political belief get a lot of dislikes that went against the desired political narrative..so maybe they should disable likes too.
Just wanted to say that I just started seeing this channel a week ago and I must say it is one of the best channels of explaining physics in a long time explained, I also picture gravity the way you do in your videos.
But supersymmetry has been disproven by experimental evidence many times. String theorists just have to adjust their parameters every time... Pushing the "proof" away, to ever higher energy levels.
True, Ancient Culture all around the world specially eastern Culture that Existence is Sound and Vibration. Modern Science ( Physics ) have largely Ignored this part of knowledge since it's no longer about Physics it's about non-physical there is a lot to be. Physical knowledge is a little of a lot around there, in my opinion there is a Non-physical Science also, Which modern science have still not Taken look at
@@sushilkumarlohani6709 thats because non-physical science is kind of an oxymoron. I absolutely agree with you, but science relies on evidence. No matter how far-fetched a theory is, it has to have some aspect that explains observable phenomena
This video has to be one of the most beautiful I have seen on this website. Let alone the incredibly profound and informatively dense content, the visuals and sound are beautiful - even haunting dare I say - and I could not leave this video without expressing my appreciation. Well done.
A beautifully demonstrated video- I love how well the illustrations fit the auditory descriptions. String theory is obviously incredibly complex but this video did a fantastic job of explaining a wide swath of information in simple terms. Thanks ScienceClic English!
I have watched countless videos on string theory and until now have only understood the high level concept that "viewing particles as strings allows us to describe gravity in a quantum way". This video took my understanding to a much deeper level when you walked through the differences in how string theory describes interactions vs. the standard model. How you visually show the evolution of a string as a continuous process vs. the instantaneous process in the standard model and connect that to how it eliminates the infinities we get when trying to apply General relativity to the standard model was soo insightful for me. I feel like I really understand the theory now even though I got a C in calculus in college and would never be able to interpret the equations. It is videos like this that allow the average person to understand our most complex scientific theories.
you’re doing such amazing work. the visuals and the way you explain everything makes it so much simpler & easier & ENJOYABLE to understand. i never tire of watching your videos and i’m so grateful i came across your channel. thank you ♡ this channel genuinely has helped me so much, not just in learning but also in keeping me wanting to learn more. i hope you’re having the best day🌸
Hands down the best string theory explanation video I've ever seen. Can you please do an extension on the large extra dimension (ADD) model of M theory?
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! So far the best video on string theory. I have been struggling with string theory for a while now. Not understanding an iota of the many many videos about string theory. Exasperatedly closing each video out of frustration but not losing hope that I will one day start to understand this complex idea. You did an Incredible job on this!! Thank you!!!
This has become my favorite science channel on UA-cam besides kurzgesagt. The visualization, explanation and narration of these topics is off the charts.
Dude... I literally love you channel.... Thanks for giving the world free easy to understand knowledge 👏👏. I truly believe Einstein, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan and Hawkins would be proud of anyone like you (Veritasitum, Quantum Fracture... etc) for explaining so heavy principles in such an easy and intuitive way 😌👌. So I'm truly grateful to you and the rest of good informative (specially on physics or Mathematics) UA-cam channels for that 👏👏👏 So keep on making top physics content 💪.
i'm a high schooler and had only a little idea about string theory prior to watching this video. the video was soo easy to follow through even for me. a video on this complex topic very well done
The explanations in layman’s terms and well visualized graphics are often easy to follow, eye-opening and eloquent. Before the internet, if the information in these videos were put into a book and presented in this way as much as a book would allow, it likely would have been a bestseller in my opinion.
You should try to do an introductory math of string theory miniseries!! I’ve been dying to dive into the subject a bit more precisely, but sitting through so many hours of lecture is really difficult
Thank you for this amazing video. I don't study physics and only really have an interest in it and times and times again I've dodged String Theory since I never really got a good explanation or if I did I forgot it again after a while. I think this one will stick
I went from thinking I understood it to not at all to mostly understanding it by the end of this video lol. Fantastic job! Although I am a bit lost in regard to the assumption that string theory requires 9+ dimensions? Can anyone elaborate on that please? Great video! You’re my new favourite channel for physics!!
This is completely off topic, but if you focus on the gravaton particle at 3:56 and don't look at anything else for that entire animation sequence, you can still see the magnifying glass follow the proton in the next scene lol. I thought that was cool
I've always been fascinated by the world of subatomic particles, and have occasionally checked in on developments for years and years. I have read and watched a great many explanations for how string theory works, but I was never able to understand it past the "different vibrations creates different particles" thing. Thank you so much for explaining this in an easy to explain format while also not babying your audience!
This video is incredibly well done. Informative, simple to understand, and brief enough to keep attention the entire time. I subscribed immediately after the video was done. Great job!

Im impressed by how well explained this is and well animated it is. I'd imagine countless hours were put down just for this video alone. Thank you so much for your work, it was really great.
Giving small breaks between lines is one of the reasons why science click is famous 😎
I need those pauses to absorb the information.
Yeah watching at 1.75x speed is just about right to handle those pauses
the difference b/w good and bad story telling is the pacing. Those pauses allow people to process and even let the imagination go off
Agreed ...Concise ang "tight"...yet some American offerings are way overhyped and somewhat childlike in presentation with unnecessary added attempts of humor .
It’s a Good way to give this stuff in bite sizes for some of us dumber ones like myself
Rarely do I comment on a video to talk about how well made it is. But this time I feel compelled to do so. This was an absolutely excellent video, considering how well it's been put together so that the information remains comprehensible and doesn't confuse me. Not only that, the infographics used and the choice of words was also top notch. Amazing video overall.
Well said!
Liar, I see you commenting all over the damn place. “Khubaib”
I've seen the Super-String Theory explanation from another youtuber just a few days ago but your visuals are the most effective on the platform!
What was the other video?
Would you please share that video's link 😄
What video ❓
I love how this video dosent attempt to entirely explain EVERYTHING we know about string theory, but instead grants new viewers the abbility to search out more information if they want or need to for any reason by giving us the words we need to know to find more information.
We don't know anything about string theory. It's all theoretical math bullshit that stems from the inability to properly study and interact with subatomic particles.
The Design, the music, the narration, everything is perfect.
Perfect for putting me to sleep.
This was very informative. I now can say I at least understand the fundamentals of string theory, which despite the large number of times I've encountered the theory before, this is the first lucid and comprehensive explanation that includes a sensibly selected set of definitions at the beginning to put the entire theory in context. Congratulations. Extremely well done. Thank you!
Never stop using this background music
It compliments these so well lol
Does anyone know which song it is??

Why is this truueee hahaha
I'm not exaggerating, I've spent years watching vids of theoretical physics, this channel is the best and the most informative and the easiest to understand. I really really love the way you explain and interpret everything 🥰
SiecnceClic exists first in French. I was like smashed the first time I discovered the channel and was waiting impatiently new videos. It's very rare to see such pedagogical and easy to understand popularization videos. Later when Alessandro Roussel decided to make an English version of his channel, I was also very pleased to notice the quality of Eglish narratives. Thanks to all the team that make this happen. 🤝
Every time you upload humanity understands how the universe works a little more
This is the most informative and easy to understand video on string theory I have ever watched. The first one where I actually understood the fundamentals of it was one by Kurzgesagt but yours was even more step by step and easier. On that note, you seem to be the kind of person who can finally explain the Calabi Yau Manifold in a way that I can understand. If possible can you make a video explaining it cuz it has been a pain to understand even after reading a ton about it.
I've never seen string theory explained this way. It was very interesting and helpful. Thanks so much.
I've never been so stunned and amazed at the same time by a physich theory. I'm really thanking to you for your explaination of such a difficult matter, in such easy way.
Best short video on string theory I’ve seen.
Isn’t it interesting that 2500 years ago Plato said all reality was built from music and now here we are talking about vibrating strings. And of course Plato is not alone. Many mythologies and creation stories feature music as the agency by which the world was created. A modern version would be Tolkien’s writings on the creation of Middle Earth.
I thought it was Pythagoras?
@@paola._.9068 no Pythagoreans worshipped numbers. So not music, but rather math which is not quite the same thing.
@@kjvail oh but it is😉
and so?
plato,pythagoras, Euclid we all are under there influence
The possibility that the laws of physics might have changed in our universe is really terrifying
Or that it could happen again
There's this book series I've been hearing about, called the Three Body Problem series or The Rememberance of Earth's Past, which is a scifi that deals with this idea and weaponizes it, and it sounds pretty cool. You might want to read
I don't think they have changed - we are just discovering more of what was already there.
@@Gethsemane-yg5jmBoth *can* be true.
@@fazom1707 I get where you are coming from. But I feel strongly...that we are just discovering what is already there. Mankind....I believe is in his infancy.
Not certain as to why there are any dislikes on this video, it is by far the most simplistic yet comprehensive avenue to project complex theories. I truly wish we had this tool available during my studies as the books never gave our minds the ability to imagine anything too complex. Thank you to you and your team for this effort.
I have come to really like and appreciate your videos. I am an engineer with a lot of passion to keep up to date on the bleeding edge of theoretical physics. Your videos are not only good at explanations of these theories but the visuals, diagrams, and the music are top notch as well. Please keep creating more videos! And much thanks from a small science enthusiast. :)
Hello! I'd recommend checking out Sabine Hossenfelders videos on theoretical physics. Passionate string theorists like Michiu Kaku got me interested in the field, but there's so much questionable science in string theory, it's good to see healthy pushback. Cheers!
@@AlexM-oq5el Nah Sabine's channel is trash.

Excellent work! We need more people like you in biochem. You managed to explain within this video an extremely complex phenomenon, its flaws, and a description of how to overcome those flaws all in under 20 minutes. Very impressive!
He's Black 😂😂
Your videos make me regret I didn't get into physics. That is the best science channel, thank you! Are you planning for a video on the "M-Theory"?
M-Theory is String Theory. Just a mathematically generalized version.

@@carlosgarcia3341 well I enjoyed it too but I didn't find the welcome to science clic asatisfying
@@Mark-Wilson Pavlov would like a word with you.
Right around 13 minutes was where the multiverse theory clicked in my mind. Loved this video!
Two months without ScienceClic videos was rough, man. Thank gods the anxiety is gone now.
Ahah sorry, I hope it won't happen again 😅 At least I'll try!
this is the most clear and intuitive explanation I have ever seen on string theory, and I have seen dozens of videos on this topic which overly complicates things and does do without visuals
This channel is amazing at making difficult mathematics easy to visualise
Being a physicist i can easily say this is the best explanation for ST and it's one of my fav channel about physics on UA-cam.
I was literally just thinking about this channel a few hours ago, pondering that its been a while since ScienceClic has released a video. Pass out for a few hours, and awake to this!
Quantum randomness?? Or entanglement? Not sure anymore!
Quantum entanglement in our brain
The same thing happend with me today ;)
I really appreciate your videos because they always seem to allow me to grasp some concept in physics a bit better that I vaguely understood beforehand. I have no formal education in these subjects but I still like to try to understand what's going on and these videos have definitely helped me to realize that to some degree. Thank you.
Amazing channel!!
Question:
Would then be possible that, instead of a wave, the particle is actually travelling in a dimension that we yet cannot see (Like explained) thus making it appear being a probability instead of actually be heading in a single direction?
Wow very interesting idea!
I also thinking about this idea
If it did, then we would observe a change in velocity of the particle during its journey towards the target, since traveling through a different spatial dimension would increase its relative path length. We know them to behave like waves since we have also directly observed their wave nature, ex. shooting photons through a slit produces a diffraction pattern with fringe spacing dependent on the width of the slit. Since we don't observe any changes in velocity i.e. photons all travel the same speed through the same medium, it is unlikely what you said is occuring. However, they do imply here that maybe what we observe to be different materials with different index of refraction are actually just particles which contain curled dimensions. This may be why we observe different velocities for photons traveling through different materials, and why those materials have different masses than others. (I think)
Good idea. But no. This is because of Bells Theorem which sort of explores the way those probabilities work. In short the particle does not have any extra properties (hidden variables, like location on a new dimension). You can look up Bells Theorem/Inequality for more.
This channel is nothing short of amazing. Wow! For me to start to understand quantum physics, space time etc, and just wanting more and more, is absolutely insane, and this channel is the main reason. Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I watched 100s of movies like that, and this one actually resonates with me. The person who wrote the scenario for this cast is an absolute genius. It also shows aspects I had never heard before and were like missing pieces in my understanding. Very cool! Thank you for your hard work!
The dislikes are from Tachyonic people sending upvotes back in time.
They are probably only imaginary since I don't see any so far
It's from the people who subscribe to the 27 dimension school of thought.
Mad beef between them and the 26ers.
It hasn't happened yet
The Tachyon fandom is toxic, disdaining the canonical String lore settings and such
UA-cam disabled dislikes...largely because political oriented programs were making certain people of a certain political belief get a lot of dislikes that went against the desired political narrative..so maybe they should disable likes too.
Just wanted to say that I just started seeing this channel a week ago and I must say it is one of the best channels of explaining physics in a long time explained, I also picture gravity the way you do in your videos.
This was soooo informative and yet easy to follow. The animations were so simplistic yet enlightening.. thank you for this video
Now I understand why it would be such a big deal to proof super symetry...
prove* symmetry*
@@orang1921 fuck off this isn't a spelling bee
@@orang1921 🅱️ruh
But supersymmetry has been disproven by experimental evidence many times. String theorists just have to adjust their parameters every time... Pushing the "proof" away, to ever higher energy levels.
@@hdufort that's interesting. can you pls explain how it was disproven?
0:39 mmm, I love that initial moment when the thinkin' music kicks in. Gets me every video!
this seems like a curated learning path to studies in modern quantum physics, well done. thank you so much!
The way you introduced M Theory in the end gives me goosebumps. Beautifully made content!
This is by far the most comprehensive and didactic video that I ever seen about this topic, thank you so much for this!
Great video! The ''M theory'' in the ending got me a little scared, as if it was some kind of forbidden knowledge or something like that
True, Ancient Culture all around the world specially eastern Culture that Existence is Sound and Vibration. Modern Science ( Physics ) have largely Ignored this part of knowledge since it's no longer about Physics it's about non-physical there is a lot to be. Physical knowledge is a little of a lot around there, in my opinion there is a Non-physical Science also, Which modern science have still not Taken look at
@@sushilkumarlohani6709 Om Shanti
@@sushilkumarlohani6709 thats because non-physical science is kind of an oxymoron.
I absolutely agree with you, but science relies on evidence. No matter how far-fetched a theory is, it has to have some aspect that explains observable phenomena

To be continued...
This video has to be one of the most beautiful I have seen on this website. Let alone the incredibly profound and informatively dense content, the visuals and sound are beautiful - even haunting dare I say - and I could not leave this video without expressing my appreciation. Well done.
One of the best explanations on the Internet I have seen yet!
A beautifully demonstrated video- I love how well the illustrations fit the auditory descriptions. String theory is obviously incredibly complex but this video did a fantastic job of explaining a wide swath of information in simple terms. Thanks ScienceClic English!
I have feedback for your channel.... Never stop making videos and make them faster! Great work
I have watched countless videos on string theory and until now have only understood the high level concept that "viewing particles as strings allows us to describe gravity in a quantum way". This video took my understanding to a much deeper level when you walked through the differences in how string theory describes interactions vs. the standard model. How you visually show the evolution of a string as a continuous process vs. the instantaneous process in the standard model and connect that to how it eliminates the infinities we get when trying to apply General relativity to the standard model was soo insightful for me. I feel like I really understand the theory now even though I got a C in calculus in college and would never be able to interpret the equations. It is videos like this that allow the average person to understand our most complex scientific theories.
The closest video from the frontier of science knowledges for general public I saw :)
Great work as usual !
you’re doing such amazing work. the visuals and the way you explain everything makes it so much simpler & easier & ENJOYABLE to understand. i never tire of watching your videos and i’m so grateful i came across your channel. thank you ♡ this channel genuinely has helped me so much, not just in learning but also in keeping me wanting to learn more. i hope you’re having the best day🌸
Hands down the best string theory explanation video I've ever seen. Can you please do an extension on the large extra dimension (ADD) model of M theory?
Great video, congratulations . Right duration, right complexity, right content, clear English, Thank you !
This was a real eyeopener, finally understanding something more of terms I heard of before
That's some interesting stuff. I hope that before I die, physicists figure out what's really going on down there.
Don't give up on figuring it out yourself!
@@carlosgarcia3341 I'm working on it!

they wont becouse string theory has too big mathematical problems. Physical ofc too
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! So far the best video on string theory. I have been struggling with string theory for a while now. Not understanding an iota of the many many videos about string theory. Exasperatedly closing each video out of frustration but not losing hope that I will one day start to understand this complex idea. You did an Incredible job on this!! Thank you!!!
Holy moly, the illustrations and animations are stellar. 👌🏼
This has become my favorite science channel on UA-cam besides kurzgesagt. The visualization, explanation and narration of these topics is off the charts.
Dude... I literally love you channel....
Thanks for giving the world free easy to understand knowledge 👏👏.
I truly believe Einstein, Richard Feynman, Carl Sagan and Hawkins would be proud of anyone like you (Veritasitum, Quantum Fracture... etc) for explaining so heavy principles in such an easy and intuitive way 😌👌.
So I'm truly grateful to you and the rest of good informative (specially on physics or Mathematics) UA-cam channels for that 👏👏👏
So keep on making top physics content 💪.

Why did you forget Sir Ramanujan or did you just don't know him?
This is incredibly well produced. Great job! Who did the animations? Seen a lot of videos, none had such clean and helpful graphics.
This is the single most underrated channel in history. It has to little popularity compared to what it should have
Absolutely brilliant - as many others have said - truly the clearest exposition of this difficult subject I have ever seen. Thank you!
i'm a high schooler and had only a little idea about string theory prior to watching this video. the video was soo easy to follow through even for me. a video on this complex topic very well done
The best string theory video I have watched so far ... The concepts are explained in a simple and understandable way. Thank you, ScienceClic English!
Thank you for the message, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Best string theory video. And animation is also really good. Editor has done a great job
I enjoy learning about this stuff that I often think about but am not smart enough to conceptualize. Thanks mate.
The explanations in layman’s terms and well visualized graphics are often easy to follow, eye-opening and eloquent. Before the internet, if the information in these videos were put into a book and presented in this way as much as a book would allow, it likely would have been a bestseller in my opinion.
You should try to do an introductory math of string theory miniseries!! I’ve been dying to dive into the subject a bit more precisely, but sitting through so many hours of lecture is really difficult
Thank you for this amazing video.
I don't study physics and only really have an interest in it and times and times again I've dodged String Theory since I never really got a good explanation or if I did I forgot it again after a while. I think this one will stick
I went from thinking I understood it to not at all to mostly understanding it by the end of this video lol. Fantastic job! Although I am a bit lost in regard to the assumption that string theory requires 9+ dimensions? Can anyone elaborate on that please? Great video! You’re my new favourite channel for physics!!
I've watched a lot of videos about String Theory, but this one is the best by far! Really clear explanations. Great video!
Im not a huge physics nerd, but this video had me captured for the full 16 minutes of it! Keep up the great work!👍you earned a sub!
I can't imagine the brains of the scientists who are working on this (and other) theories. Amazing video, thank you!
The production level of this channels videos always amazes me. Well f-ing done! Great music, animations and narration! Love it!
Thank you very much!
That was a lovely watch and a much gentler introduction than Brian Greene’s book! Loved every second of it.
This is completely off topic, but if you focus on the gravaton particle at 3:56 and don't look at anything else for that entire animation sequence, you can still see the magnifying glass follow the proton in the next scene lol. I thought that was cool
Thankyou so much, such a beautiful video, even folks that have primary information about physics can also understand this concept 🙏
Love the visuals, simple explanations and overall great concept of this gem of a channel.
Very clear video, lots of details. The best channel for explaining quantum physics. Well done!!! 👏🏻💯 Subscribed!
Thank you very much!
I've always been fascinated by the world of subatomic particles, and have occasionally checked in on developments for years and years. I have read and watched a great many explanations for how string theory works, but I was never able to understand it past the "different vibrations creates different particles" thing. Thank you so much for explaining this in an easy to explain format while also not babying your audience!
Best explanation of String Theory I’ve seen so far
This video is incredibly well done. Informative, simple to understand, and brief enough to keep attention the entire time. I subscribed immediately after the video was done. Great job!
Man this background music fits so well with the topic and almost gives me chills
Beautiful video...learnt more than i've learnt from every book and video i've watched till now
Well done for the video, i've been watching physics videos for 3 years now. This one explains sucha lot in such an uderstandable way, well done!
This channel is consistently awesome. Consistently. Awesome.
Now I'm interested to know more of these other theories which I didn't know were a thing until just now.
As a 14y/o who hasn’t studied much of physics this was a good explanation👍 (except the formulas I didn’t quite get all of them)
Extremely well animated and aesthetically pleasing too. Clean clear explanation. Super like 👍
