      If you want some actual explanations, watch Eugene Khutoryansky and PBS Space Time. This channel is just pop-sci for the masses. This guy even failed to consider time in the GR part of the video, completely failing since space and time are inseparable. He was just talking about the geometry of space. There's a 4th dimension, and its because of the time-dimension that gravitational "attraction" even exists. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth not because Earth curves space like a weight on a sheet, but because gravitational time dilation. Time literally runs slower for the parts closer to Earth, and faster for those further from Earth. This causes gravitational attraction.

      If course it never crosses their ovine minds that not everyone that claims to be " as scientisr" actually*Is* a scientist or if nor *Knows* anyhing-at - all. It suffices that you merely *say* you are "a scientist" and, sure enough, they will say " oh if you are "a scientist" whatever you say simple *must* be the case and cannot possibly be otherwise.
      Even beter if you wave your magic wand " Quantum*- that alone wil suffice. Tell them that " quantum" is merely, no more and no les that the Latin word for how much and it wil not make the slightest difference because " quantum is a *Mgic* word like 'scientist which simply means anyone-that-*Knows*. The fact that many soi-diant" scientiats " *Know* nothing-at-all, is neither here nor there.

      @@rw2452 I learned the basics of "Field Theory" from Ken Wheeler. It's the Aether, that is a word the phd's won't mention. That's why I use it as much as I can.
      Aether answers everything, Standard Model Science Fiction just makes up names for the same things, different energies.
      Aether has a Dielectric energy hyperboloid that rotates in one direction. It's really 2 vortices, an electron and a positron. Separated by the near infinite capacitance of the Inertial plane/Counterspace. Surrounded by Aether's Dielectric voidence field/Magnetism. That creates nodes from there coaxial circuit, transverse waves, that EM waves/Light propagate on. Light does not have a speed, Light has a rate of induction. Light is instantaneous/entangled, creating these nodes. Light's rate of induction is Magnetism's rate of node creation.
      The Universe began when Dielectric energy tunneled from the Inertial plane/Counterspace. Dielectric energy created Space to exist in. This is when Time began. Ken Wheeler and Eric Dollard.
      Dielectric energy is Terminate to Terminate, Inflation.
      Dielectric energy became it's own field of Dielectric voidence field/Magnetism. Magnetism gives Magnitude to the Universe. The Grand Expand/Big Bang.
      Dielectric energy and Magnetism transverse waves created the nodes, that EM waves/Light propagate on. Temporal into Spacial. And then some! Ha!!

    I remember that event. Examined 1/4 second for like 6 months and forced me to redo my entire perspective of Time Dilation perception and how we could record it and quantify it. Found out or deduced my entire theory was upside down and backwards. Relativity perception of Time dilation. I went through countless scenarios of what would happen if 2 blackholes merged. The type of energy spike I would get, my Time perception was flawed. I thought Time would slow down, however, my perception of it sped up. 2 black holes gave me a quarter second energy chirp. I was like, where’s the rest of it. Expecting a big package, got something I could barely record with LIGO. I figured LIGOs equipment not sensitive enough to pick through all the nuances in that energy burst, since everything is being argued as Theoretical until proven. For all you CERN physicists.
    I usually make my discoveries accidentally, usually looking for something else, then my data or predictions are not accurate then going back and reviewing data and calibration and instruments used. Trying to figure out what went wrong then finding something new. Most of my discoveries found looking for something else lol

      Moreover they are clearly not in the lest bit concerned by their pasivity. The true horror of the passivity is revealed by the fact that they*really_do* suppose there to be a democracy of truth known as the fallacy arumentim ad populum for with thre is a opithy saying from the1970's; there are seemingly ovine or grgious by nature.

    Here’s an amateur TOE based upon a quantum gravity particle. The force carrying particle of the Big Bang also had to combine to form matter as it cooled because there was nothing else to combine into structure. My choice is Planck length photons which are composed of 4 brane and 3 brane strings, (the source of entanglement), interlaced on the surface of a prolate spheroid that has protruding positive and negative poles. These poles are functional worm drive gears that allow the photons to form daisychain into chiral loops that can form straight shafts and one to three aspect ratio tori. These shafts and tori combine to form ambipolar solenoids, (aka gluons), that have counter-rotating shafts, which amplify the ambient electromagnetic fields to produce a much more powerful local field. The gluons can then fuse to form ring shapes that combine to form the charged fields constituting the shells of leptons and baryons. The gluons can condense in galactic EMF via Feshbach resonance to be dispersed as dark matter back upon the galaxy to generate BTFR. The gluons generate gravitational thrust by penetrating the spherical leptons and baryon and accelerating as a superfluid waveform in the subwavelength cavity to generate vectored thrust as exhaust from the South pole of the particle that polar orients toward the dominant gluon flux. The exhaust is vectored by the external quantum fluid formed by gluons on the surface that were at an acute angle or were too slow to penetrate into the spherical particle. This surface fluid also forms a dual membrane slipstream at the equator where the fluid from both hemispheres collide to form something like a disc MHD generator field. That field interacts with the gluon flux to stifle acceleration as space-time viscosity by absorbing the momentum of the flux thus generating an opposing thrust to gravity in the wide field. This slowing of the gluon flux via the viscosity mechanism eventually renders the flux to slow to penetrate the spherical particles and instead enhances the viscosity field to manifest dark energy where the gluon flux crossing megaparsecs is repulsive but the fast local gravity still works. This is why the galaxies in high Z superclusters act like windsocks in the laminar flow of the slow gluons, with all disks in the same plane and with their long axes all parallel to the direction of red shift propagation. Indeed, the Hubble constant is just a measure of the average percentage of gluon slowed to a repulsive velocity over a megaparsec. Just guessing. BTW, black holes are likely solitons surrounded by Fermi slush, (a Fermi solid mixed with quantum fluid generated by friction caused by incoming particles). The exterior skin presents a subwavelength cavity forcing all incoming particle into a waveform that maintains a superfluid state confined by the other waveforms.

      This is just my opinion from what I've gleamed. Everything vibrates, everything in this realm. Gravity can't vibrate unless it is a molecule. Probably, a quantum one, and is carried along by tachyons, neutrinos, protons, etc. I believe that as mass, which is compressed light, carries gravity in every particle on a subatomic quantum level (we aren't able to observe at this present time) the gravity particle is already present and working in conjunction with the electron particles. As the electromagnetic waves from two masses come into contact with eachother, the gravity and electron particles form convergence waves. In this union of forces, the information is traded as particles collide. I hope I explain the process enough for you to visualize the function. If you have a question ask away! Blessing!

    Gravity:avity: Imagine a sheet called space moving through a 4th dimension where the 4th dimension was called time. The fabric’s direction of travel is from a place we call the past to a place we call the future. The surface of the sheet is what we will call the present. This 4th dimension is not the same as our ordinary experience of time but is related to it. If you put a lead ball on the moving fabric the ball would resist the movement so as to cause the fabric to deform. The ball and the fabric pushing the ball would lag behind the rest of the fabric. According to our definitions, the ball could be said to be in the past. If another ball were put on the fabric it would deform the fabric too. If the two balls were close together they would approach. The balls would seem to be attracted to one another but in reality, they would be both moving toward the same place.

So if you can keep the bobber spinning you would see the equator of the sphere has no effect it spins freely but if you add the electromagnetic field to the equator the area around the bobber would start to move the area around it.

    I thought this is very cool how you ended up with a prospective theory of Quantum-Gravity 😃 and also how very much more effective your new semi-closeup, and off camera filming technique is. It helps to get away from what my UCSC professors called “hand waiving” arguments. (The way to do those, as Dr. Hooper sometimes does, is to use gestures in the Left hand together with the left side of the head being slightly raised-an emotional or Feeling approach as opposed to the standard “male” left-brain/right sided dominant one. Remember, we’re just students here.)
    But the new filming technique is really superb, and quite attractive! I think it helps to deal with attention spans if you are going over the standard 20 minute recommended length in denser material like this. Dr. Carroll would look excellent with it; so thanks and Cheers! 🙏🏻

    I'm curious if instead of dark matter, could it be extra layers to gravity? So we could just improve off of the gravity we already know that works to an extent already? Like there could be the layer we know, then a large scale layer that's on the scale of entire galaxies and nebula's and other complex and diverse grand massive objects that have all sorts of behaviors interacting with in each other that I'm sure needs to be factored in to get this layer of grand scale gravity correctly. Then there could be sub atomic gravity or micro gravity or atomic gravity layer. That can essentially be the strong force and the weak force but it's just a different version of gravity on the smallest scale. So right now I'm just theorizing 3 layers of gravity, as an improved concept of the nature of gravity withing the natural world. The smaller layer, the normal layer we have understood very well that relates to our solar system type scale. Then there is the 3rd layer, the massive layer. Dealing with things that are light years across, vast temperature differences, density's, velocity's and diversity. Intense pressures, electro static charges, electromagnetism, plasma clouds, black holes, pulsar, quasars, neutron star's, super Nova explosions, gas clouds, solar winds, radiation, tons of interwoven orbital interactions and angular momentum velocities, multiple galaxies interacting upon other galaxies. Just so many things that probably all have to be accounted for when we are dealing with scales with such vast massive intracity, and scales as vast layers of complexity that the 3rd layer of gravity hypothetically could be covering? This is just a gut feeling, and I'm just doing a thought experiment with and I'd love it if someone else wants to improve onto it. I'm all for that.

      3. Laplace's D.O.has an escape velocity, a BH does not. Light and objects can be launched into space from below its surface.

    Quantum mechanics works. Relativity works. These are probably the two best and most successful theories in all of physics, yet (if theories could have emotions and personhood🤣😅) they seem to 'dislike' each other to the point of breaking down when extended to each others' domain of influence. Specifically, above Planck length, Quantum mechanics breaks. Below Planck length, it's relativity that coughs up a hairball.
    No matter how hard we try, we just cannot 'shoehorn' one into the other, either mathematically or existentially. This discontinuity has certaiy wrecked a lot of physicists' sleep cycle.
    The thought that I had regarding this is probably going to sound silly, but I don't think it _is_ silly.
    _Human science cannot unify quantum mechanics and relativity, but the universe does it flawlessly. Until science (meaning scientISTS😱🤣) figures out how to look at this problem from the POV of the universe, we probably won't be able to gain much traction on it._
    I have noticed that the infamous Planck length is the one thing that the 'quantumly' small and the 'Relatively' large share in common. It's almost like some sort of mathematical event horizon that serves as a barrier to the Microcosm communicating with the Macrocosm, except once again, the universe has no problem at all, it's just us human across-structure computational meat sacks who can't do so.
    Aaaannnnd, that leads me to the question that is the point if all this.
    _Is it possible that there exists some process or function or interaction, occurring at that Planck level, which serves as a sort of 'transitioner' which ties the two disparate levels of reality, Quantum & Relativistic, together?_
    We're missing something, probably something elegantly simple that slithers around in between the equations describing relativistic phenomena and those describing the quantum world. There has to be _something_ , because if the universe had the same problem that we have in unifying the two, we likely wouldn't be here, nor would the universe in this form.
    Is this even possible? If it is, _then what is that process/function?_

      Agreed in the literal sense. But then our best theories all have things they explain beautifully and things that seem to elude the scope of the theory. Relativity and QM, given their flaws, are still the most useful theories we have to frame our understanding of the universe. There are certainly things that relativity does not deal with too well, like the galactic rotation issue, for example.
      For me, though, the glaring issue is that breakdown at Planck length which sends our theoretical framework for the micro and the macro right into the weeds. I have begun to wonder, if we could solve that problem as the universe itself does, we'd have a tie between the two, which might make all manner of things more clear.

      Plank length is a unit of distance. Light speed is a unit of distance over time. Both are said to be universal constraints. Those two constraints are related by time. It seems possible that until and unless time can be quantified in terms of energy/mass, then the relationship between quantum and relativity observations at the micro and macro levels cannot be discerned.

      I have an idea about this. If we look at particles *and* waves as distortions or twists in spacetime itself, we can actually visualize how space, time, mass, and gravitation are related.
      We know that gravity has a direct effect upon spacetime because of the atomic clock experiment; place one such clock at sea level & another in earth orbit. Calibrate both clocks to be synchronous to the highest degree possible. Observe the time record of each. Over that time record, the clock at sea level starts to fall behind the one in orbit because of spacetime dilation in a gravity well. Spacetime is literally stretched out the further/deeper we go into any gravity well.
      Why is this? Well, it's because mass bends spacetime.
      Why does mass bend spacetime?
      Because particles and waves are all the same thing- distortions or twists in spacetime. Imagine a large, perfectly flat and smooth tablecloth just floating before you. Now, put a bunch of little twists into the cloth. What would you see? You'd see the cloth being stretched into a curved shape that (roughly. This is an analogy, after all) that looks very much like the well known diagram of an unspecified ball of mass sinking into the middle of an increasingly distorted grid. The thing is, this distortion also affects *time,* which is never made clear.
      So the primary thing this does is, it answers the question, "why does mass affect spacetime and cause it to curve?"
      That answer is, "mass does not 'affect spacetime',
      *matter (mass) is COMPOSED OF SPACETIME THAT IS DISTORTED.* "
      What this does is reveal a universe that is energy based; matter arises from pure energy (spacetime), not the other way round.
      If this is so, we would then have a key to the long sought TOE.

      As a physically 3-dimensional being I so agree with this. But have you ever tried drawing 3-dimensional space on a 2-dimensional LCD monitor? And then tried drawing a representation of a warping of spacetime as an additional dimension on top of that? I've seen an attempt at it and it just looks, well... different but not any better honestly.
      The problem you're having with understanding those drawings that seem to have a concept of up/down is simply because they've actually done that on purpose. They've deleted one of the 3 spatial dimensions and replaced it with your intuition of "things always fall down" so that they can depict as many spatial dimensions as possible (2) in the same drawing as the gravitational warping dimension (the up/down, which is the whole point of the drawing) and do it in a way that we can intuitively interpret. You're meant to interpret the "down" direction as "this is a trampoline with people standing here and here and notice how a ball therefore rolls in this left/right direction, just like gravity would do in real life if we could draw the full 3 dimensions with a 4th dimension of gravity warp". You're meant to imagine that we are in fact 2 dimensional beings living on a 2 dimensional universe that exists on the plane/surface of a god-like 3 dimensional trampoline and that the 3rd dimension that you see in the imagery is actually representing the gravitational curvature of spacetime because nobody has ever figured out how to draw ourselves as proper 3 dimensional beings being warped into a 4th dimension.
      It's confusing and it's bad but you can search youtube for videos on "flatland" and related to help fix the badness because you're right that it just doesn't make sense as presented if you're not already indoctrinated into the idea of deleting one or more spatial dimensions to fit them on a 2d/3d picture. Just wait until you get into "spacetime diagrams" where we delete all but one spatial dimension. Actually it turns out that in most of physics we only need to talk about one spatial dimension to demonstrate most concepts. Thank goodness for that because I still can't wrap my 3d brain around what a 4d tesseract actually looks like and I think anyone who can is necessarily a dimensional savant.
      As a side note, or perhaps the preceding was the side note and this was all you meant to ask: the reason planets don't fall into the Sun is the same reason that if you throw a baseball sideways it won't fall back to Earth. I mean you have to throw it a lot faster than 100 MPH, like, a LOT faster. Ignoring atmospheric drag, if you throw a ball over your neighbor's house at around 6 kilometers per second it will go so far that because the Earth isn't flat it will keep going around the globe and won't land until somewhere in China. If you throw it at EXACTLY (err, approximately) 8 kilometers per second (again, ignoring atmospheric drag) it will keep going around the globe in a perfect circle and smack you EXACTLY in the back of the head. Please don't do that; at that speed even a small baseball would obliterate the top half of your body due to kinetic energy. And if you throw it at some 12 kilometers per second, even if you're aiming only a hair over your neighbor's roof, it will leave Earth's gravity well and never return. It just so happens, after billions of years of planetary evolution, that Earth is traveling around the Sun at around 30 kilometers per second, which is right at the "smack you in the back of the head" perfect circle speed which is why Earth just keeps going round and round the Sun in a nearly perfect circle, never stopping because there's no atmospheric drag to slow us down. The thing that made Earth find our happy "back of the head" orbit is that all the other proto-planets either collided with proto-Earth or proto-Mars etc. or were ejected out at high velocities to never return to our solar system. The only planetary orbits that remain after 4 billion years of this billiard game are the orbits that are circular enough to not crash in to other planets.
      Or to say the same thing in another way: planets DO get pulled toward the Sun. Earth is pulled toward the Sun by an amount that exactly balances our 30 kilometer per second orbital speed, and so we keep going exactly in a circular orbit. If the Sun suddenly stopped pulling, we'd fly off never to return. And if Earth suddenly stopped our 30 kilometer per second orbital speed, we'd fall directly down into the Sun like an apple falls from a tree.

Putting together the experiment to prove they are one and the same: i.e., excess attractive waves unused by the atomic structure are able to reach beyond the 'mass' will earn the first person to do it a Nobel. Guaranteed. Furthermore demonstrating that the Universe (indeed the Cosmos) is made possible by the binary logic of those energies by compounding them is the key to Science, and by extraction Physics. By looking for simplicity first. e.g., the larger the mass the greater the attractive energy tells you... that energies are under-used so they can do other things...?

      Here is the equation you need to understand. F=ma. Since a hammer and feather fall at the same rate in a vacuum, the mass contributes zero to the force. So it becomes F=0a. Anything times zero is zero. No external force is acting upon the apple.
      The apple doesn't fall, it stops accelerating.
      The laws of physics are the same in all frames.
      A car being towed and the cable snaps. What happens? The car is no longer being accelerated so it slows down.
      An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force..
      Force decreases with distance.
      The car is slowing down because of rolling resistance. The apple is slowing down because of air resistance..
      The earth is spinning in a circle so your trajectory through space is curved.
      It's basically two runners on a track in the same lane one stops accelerating and is run into by the following runner who then accelerates the first runner. Since the air underneath the apple doesn't have enough force, the apple keeps slowing down as more runners come up from behind to accelerate it.
      In an infinite universe with everything spinning in circles, which direction is up? The direction with the most acceleration. The greater the radius, the more acceleration there is.
      Newton had it right with his Laws of Motion. With Acceleration as the frame of reference. But then went on to use mass as the frame of reference and physics as been using the wrong frame of reference ever since..Mass doesn't curve space. Motion curves space. Motion is acceleration. Newton's Laws of Motion perfectly explains 'gravity' when properly understood.

    the curvature only localizes the "action at a distance." That is why when objects fall from low orbit toward the Earth they build toward terminal velocity the closer they get to the surface, which is consistent for all objects. Gravity is entanglement... of positive and negative equalization. So elementary positively charged particles are universally entangled with all negatively. So you have universal entanglement down to localized entanglement where a planetary mass, not only is warping space, but is a localized (current duration) entanglement of waves... as waves packets, objects, are lifted above the earth, they lose entanglement with the localized, planetary, mass and get more entangled universally with particles (waves) out in cosmos where they originated earlier in their duration or "at a distance," so that is why the object weighs less or the Earth weighs less when the object (wave packet) is no longer entangled with the planet

But the only reason waves reflects or refracts is because the wavelength is small enough (with high enough energy) to interact with particles (electrons or atoms). But light doesnt slow down in any medium, they just bounce around (refracted) by individual particles and losing energy along the way, which makes them have a slower apparent speed. But in the quantum scale they still travel at the speed of light from particle to particle (as it bounces around).
      We dont know why the speed of light is what it is. But all we know is all massless particles move at this speed. (The permitivity and permeability are just constants to aid calculations) The point is, the speed of "light", is not exclusive to light, it applies to any particle or wave that are massless (we only call it speed of light because its the first particle discovered to travel at that speed).

Doesn't matter, it's the same thing. What this energy does is basically feed all the particles of the universe. All the atoms are basically sucking energy from the universe. This energy is like a waterfall which creates a denser waterfall as it gets closer to the object it's feeding, thus giving you a slope that increases in density. I guess they would call that bending time and space. Anyways... till somebody explains better I'm sticking with my version. But it will say it was a good video,👍 just needs a little bit more info.

    How do you measure the speed of gravity?
    What if each and every massive object is exerting gravitational force instantaneously on everything in the universe?
    Do you lose weight when the moon is overhead? Can you feel it?
    I’m guessing you can’t.
    If there were only two coconuts on opposite ends of the universe, would they eventually come together because of gravity?

    If the space is empty and it is evenly distributed. When it falls and concentrates and compiled to itself it becomes matters. All matters stretches the space around it and that is the gravity field. When the matter becomes a giant ball like the earth, it stretches the space around it so we feel the pull. It is a curvature of time and space. Assuming the earth is not spinning, we would feel the same gravity pull. However, assuming all of the sudden the gravity disappears on the earth, all matter and us should be going back to it original located in the fabric, that would be like being shot outward in all directions as if we all being exploded from the center of the earth outward in all directions. We then would stop at a point when the earth was smaller than dust like a giant plume of cloud in the solar system. Why two objects attract each other? Because when one enters the curved space of the other object, it falls to closer and closer to the object because at the curved point it gets closer to the object, it will continue to get closer and closer to the object until it touches the object because it cannt fall anymore. That is gravity and that is how gravity works! I think I got it ! 😂😂😂

    Beautifully explained! I had to picture a traveling compression wave in my head, though, because the animation at 15:46 was unable to show that. It just shows a "slinky" stretching and compressing. With a *real* slinky in your hands, though you CAN see this effect if you hold one end steady, and make a quick compression motion with the other - you will see a compression wave travel from that hand towards the steady hand.

      Yes, a slinky will contract on its own, from tension, to it's original compressed state. As all springs will do, they will return to their original state. Once in their original state, they will remain there until a compression or expansion force (mechanical, heating, cooling, etc) is acted upon them, they will not expand or contract on their own. So, in order for this image of gravity to work, there must be an attracting and repelling force on both ends of the wave or in between both ends, these forces oscillating in unison with each other, one pulling and the other pushing at the same time. The closer one end gets to the opposite end, the force pulling is diminished and evolves into a repelling force. A wave, on the other hand, moves away from the energy source until it contacts resistance. The resistance absorbs some of the wave's energy as it changes direction. A wave will eventually loses all it's energy and expire; it is not perpetual unless another force is introduced to perpetuate the motion. Yeah, I still don't get it.........
