      Stop it, he's not logical. 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. Creation had to be done supernaturally at some point.

      He is very personable and articulate. I enjoy listening to him. Of course he is an atheist as are most physicists. They believe in one dimension only; the elemental. They do not know of or acknowledge three dimensions: Consciousness; Mind; Elements.
      Consciousness being fundamental; Mind; elemental and the physical dimension also elemental; grosser or denser elements; all emerging with quantum events. That is why there is the hard problem of consciousness for atheistic philosophy and science as they see one dimension only.

    I’m 28 years old. I’m not a student of any kind. I attended a few semesters of community college. My job has NOTHING to do with quantum mechanics, academia, or particularly difficult concepts. I’m just someone that loves to learn. Knowledge is a gift. The more you learn about existence the more beautiful it reveals itself to be. Every academic field, every culture, even different beliefs systems, allow more of the universe’s richness to come through. Instead of chasing one truth, learn to see the many truths that people use to interpret the world. You have one too.
    Thank you Sean Carroll for spreading knowledge in a concise and entertaining way. You’re a cool human.

    Sean says that he never gets tired of being amazed at the human imagination and at Nature's stubborn insistence on following its rules of physics. But I will never get tired of listening to Sean describe how this universe works. His enthusiasm, his clarity, and his stubborn insistence on giving a fair hearing to all sides of controversies in physics is joyful to behold. Sean refuses to remain stuck in the mud of mysteries, but instead lays out the directions we can go and patiently awaits the march of science to determine the best direction.
    He reminds me of the "color commentator" at NFL football games. He doesn't just give "nuts and bolts" statistics of how many yards were gained. He tells stories of the players on and off the field and how that relates to their performance in the game. We humans may understand math, but we also understand through a good story. Sean is the master color commentator, telling stories that help us appreciate the "action on the field".

    Sean is really a great educator. He is able to illustrate very complex subject matter in a very intuitive and passionate manner. I was really never good a physics in high school esp. when it came to the math and the corresponding formulas. Yet, I feel I have gained some basic understanding of the theories presented here and in other lectures by Carroll and folks like Brian Cox, Richard Feynman and others. I am very much into the arts and I find that the arts and the sciences can inform and inspire each other. Connecting it to the real world. It reminds me of the great and beautiful gothic cathedrals that inspire but were only made possible by understanding physics.

    I especially liked his interpretation of connecting Einstein's space curvature with quantum geometry versus energy and entanglement. That is the best interpretation I have witnessed of connecting Einstein's 'Classical Interpretation" of gravity with Quantum Field Theory. I have been looking for someone to describe a possibility and this one seems plausible.

    As an engineer who has always been passionate about math and physics, I was intrigued by modern physics, despite neither relativity nor quantum mechanics were part of any course syllabus at my university. I studied these subjects on the side and found them really inspiring, I would go as far as to say that they gave me a novel perspective on life itself. That prompted me to create some online courses on Udemy on Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, special and General Relativity. It’s not my job of course, but I love talking about these topics while using some mathematics for “intuition”.

    • @SpotterVideo

      Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
      When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else.

    I have read that Newton also was troubled by his theory's "action at a distance". He kept his discomfort to himself, because he, like others of his day, did not believe in action at a distance in physics. In this regard, he did not differ from Einstein whose Relativity did away with action at a distance. I find that Newton was, in this regard, much further ahead of his time than all other physicists until Einstein, to whom he might have said, "You know, I had been thinking along the same lines! I got as far as calculus, but I had not applied it to the geometry of Riemannian 4-dimensional spaces as you did, because Riemann had not yet been born in my day; but I knew something was wrong"

      Don't know what you thank him for. His lies? 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. Creation had to be done supernaturally at some point.

  • @origins7298
    @origins7298 4 роки тому +3

    I think the answer to the quantum mystery is just the idea of quantification itself
    The universe does not have exact numbers to correspond to it what is rather always in a state of flux
    An example would be saying that I'm 6 ft tall. It's just an approximation. Someone's exact height is always changing but we give an approximate estimate
    This is the same with all quantification. It's only accurate within the margin of error
    Height weight, any mathematical description of a system is just an approximation
    In reality the electron is distributed in a cloud and always will be
    But when we give mathematical descriptions of a system we're basically giving an approximation that has some utility
    Therefore all the terms like superposition wave function duality, they're all just terms to give some Precision to something that'll always be Beyond quantification
    It's like the shape of the Earth you can say it's a sphere or an oblong spheroid and that is more accurate than saying it's flat
    But the utility is always based on a relative system.
    in reality the shape of the earth is always changing slightly
    Anyway can someone hit me back and see how we can get these ideas being discussed by physicists like Sean Carroll
    I think what I'm saying here is a more basic idea then the many-worlds
    In reality many worlds is just a an attempt to give Precision to the universe the same way we give Precision to the shape of the Earth. But in reality such linguistic terms will never capture the Nuance nature of reality. I think it's more fundamental to just say that quantification will always be accurate within the margin of error and that the actuality of reality can never be precisely described in any way that is true for all Observers.
    So again the fundamental mystery or Indescribable nature is due to an attempt to quantify what is beyond quantification in an ultimate sense!

    I totally agree with Joe Gelman below. Sean Carrol is brilliant and inspiring teacher exactly in the tradition of the Great Richard Feynman in whose chair Prof Carroll actually sits both metaphorically and literally as he often points out at the beginnings of his talks. I have some his books in audible format simply because I like the sound of his voice. His proof that Death really is the end (see the youTube video) inspires one to live this one to the full as its the only one you'll get. Of course, if we are simply running as simulations in our own future descendents' super-computers then let's hope no-one switches the power off which would amount to the same thing.

If he's asked a question he doesn't know the answer, he will tell you : Look, I can measure the phenomena, if that is not enough for you, you can stay here playing with your '' Whys '', while me and my colleagues continue to go forward. He will then look at you with the most ... arrogant face in the world.
    Which to me is unnaceptable, in the scientific world. So I totally believe Sean when he says that the scientist that was asking questions was ''gently'' tossed away. Sry for my bad english.

Statistics shows your the louds, and how clouds move; it don't tell you how the clouds were formed. Statistics can give you intuition, and narrow down theories. But I feel like we are stretching stats to a dimension of abstraction that we've come so far, that we've convinced ourselves that the equations that can explain statistics, are somehow reverberations of the underlying classical truths. Although I find this an insightful path, we must not give up on the pursuit of there being a classical description that we have not yet accounted for the variables for.

    • @MrMichiel1983

      That is actually one of the concepts out there, but the standard idea is that it leaks from our "brane", meaning our 3D/4D slice of a higher dimensional object, into those higher dimensions. It's more related to a multiverse idea stemming from String theory, rather than the one stemming from quantum dynamics (but these might turn out to be one and the same, or both active, or both false).
      What I wonder about is whether the notion of a quantum multiverse fits in that String theory perspective. On the one hand yes, since one could argue that the quantum bifurcation of universes happens in another dimension. On the other hand no, because bifurcation is fractal, instead of plane-filling in nature.
      If you're right, one could imagine then that if the universe wouldn't split, gravity would be stronger, because it didn't leak. We could perhaps test that in a bubble of Bose-Einstein condensate. Perhaps we would see that gravity is altered inside the bubble, being stronger than otherwise expected.

Sean Carroll (who's ideas fascinate me the most) takes this much further and theorizes about infinite universes.

      But all the forces would be spread out to the other worlds too? By that logic, I don’t think it’s useful to think about the other worlds of the multiple worlds hypothesis as having any effect on our universe, they are disconnected from us are they not?

    Addendum :
    Some more CRAZY question / points :
    1) Electron is spinning!
    2) Proton is vibrating!
    3 ) Both make
    neutron/s chargeless!
    4 )Electron keeps everything entangled as well as in order or in disorder (entropy)!
    5) That means electron photon interaction... may help us to understand the theoretical points :
    a)
    The -e- is there, when we look at it...and not there, when not looking at it... right...!!!???
    Therefore the above points may also suggest the ELECTRON being part of the classical science and photon being part of the quantum science...could lead us to the territory of GUT...!!!
    That means all the theories of all those famous Scientists are the contributors for the present TOE and GUT... in micro and macro levels...
    A BIT- BY - BIT...!!!
    THANKS AGAIN DR. SEAN CARROLL...!!!

      Look at it like a textbook. Text books don't radically change they get updated
      He is updating it a little bit and clarifying and enhancing butt, it's the same basic textbook of information.

    Strange how even Sean Carroll gets this wrong; In the bullet cluster the red is indeed where the mass is. However, the blue is not where the mass is but instead where the gravitation is. If the blue was also where the mass is the blue would have behaved just as the red did. Ha yes, gravitation in the absence of mass is the new conundrum of modern physics. {LIVE Science; Forums, History and Culture; Culture History & Science; What is a living individual and is it naturally universally mobile?}

      Would the gravitation over such a small distance be huge ?

      Sean doesn't even follow physics. 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. Creation had to be done supernaturally at some point.

    Math, like numbers, is a language humans invented to describe relationships more usefully than words. It chokes me when people talk about math like it's something discovered that was used by god(s) to create our universe (if it is a universe).
