This guy is fantastic. What I like the most about his lectures is the simplicity in explaning the things that are hard to comprehend even for the most brilliant minds of our time, in a way that it can be understood even by a simple mind like my own. I enjoyed every second of this video.
Hey, I'm sure your mind is more complex and capable then you let on. You've communicated clearly without misspelling several words or jumbling ideas together. Quantum mechanics runs opposite and certainly contrary to our normal human intuition and thus one must develop a new set of senses to properly conceptualize/visualize what's going on. You should look up Leonard Susskind at Standford and his lectures theyve put online. He's really a master teacher of physics and math. I'm completely self educated and, as far as classical physics, have really developed an understanding that is simply not available on these trash popular science videos on UA-cam. "hey, I know! People are too stupid to understand the concept of inflation or a singularity so how about we explain it in terms of pepperoni pizza and ice cream! It'll be completely fuckin wrong but who cares!" - youtube popularizers of science
Me too! When you understand things so well, that you can stand in front of an audience of hundreds of people, to deliver such deep topics, with such a casual and natural manner, demonstrates a practical grasp and truly deep understanding, which would be appreciated by anyone with even a vague interest in such concepts.
What a stupid comment. How do you know he has a deep insight. Nobody understands quantum mechanics. Unless you've made a break through. Please explain.
I completely agree, I think was Richard Feynman who once commented somewhat dryly that, "Anyone who thinks they understand Quantum Mechanics doesn't." There's nothing new here at all, nothing that hasn't already been well covered by people like Lee Smolin, (and many others,) in his excellent book, The Trouble with Physics. It's all very well jumping up and down, (and doing the eccentric scientist, "thing," to the hilt,) shouting we're on the verge of a great breakthrough we must be. The problems are real and well understood even by many laymen but neither of the two main approaches String Theory, (untestable by experiment,) and Quantum Loop Gravity seem to be taking things much further or to offer any such breakthrough. The discoveries, (basically just the Higgs boson,) at CERN and LHC have been to say the least, disappointing compared to what we were promised and again non of them seems to take things much if any further in explaining stuff like why there are no left handed Neutrinos, Dark matter and Dark energy and so on and so on.....................................
In essence this is the dawning of a brand new foundation to science....a new door is slowly opening.....and the research and the finding are indeed actual. If you notice that research and observations in only 4 dimensional space time is starting to hit a brick wall.....that's a tell tale sign that new branches in science need to open up.....❤
Nima Arkani-Hamed is a genius! Thank you! The intent herein is to offer for consideration, in the context of this talk, a new definition of space consistent with the CIG Theory, which has already offered a new definition of Matter. That new definition of Matter is: That which has mass, consists of the curvature of space-time and has an element of motion. While the current definition of space in its simplest form customarily is: "a boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction" As can be seen, since we have redefined Matter in the context of the curvature of space-time, we must also redefine "Space" as well, herein and as best I can, as follows: Space is that three dimensional extent in which objects and their events occur, wherein those objects of Matter are they themselves curved space-time, wherein the aforementioned space consists of and emerges via the unfolding of that Matter into various volumes and densities of Space by way of opportunistic rates of motion of Matter. In it's simpler form, Space is unfolded Matter, emergent from rates of motion. That's it and if I come up with a better definition or if someone else would like a try in the context of CIG Theory, please have a go at it. In this manner, a particle can become spatial and go through both slits in the double slit experiment. Any replies? Nima is the best.
Nima's talk at Harvard SPS entitled "Chilloquium 2022" is reasonable starting place to think about these things with a concrete example. But the lecture I found most useful was back in July 2020 talk at ICTS String Seminars entitled "Spacetime, Quantum Mechanics and Clusterhedra at Infinity". I've had to watch all his recorded lectures on this subject over the last couple of three years - more than once. I don't understand all the maths, but I totally get his ideas now. Anyway, it seems like a very exciting time for us all to live through. Had it not been for the 'pandemic', I probably would never have had the opportunity to view these lectures. Mind you, I struggled with QM for years before this, there is so much terrible information out there, even from the physicists, that a layman can become totally confused by it. Lubos Motl, Anton Zeilinger, and Nima are all people who who get QM and can cut through the noise.
I admire Nima always, but I pay particular attention to when he says, “We don’t know.” Hey Nima, you should just read the UTUBE comments to find your missing information. There are people here who know it all !
+Shirley Mason Good one! But, in our hearts, we know that what is "broken" by the "collider" is energy. Quantum energy is measured how? Space/Time theory does not explain gravity -- that, as mentioned is "dead". We can discuss the "mass" as the total energy of the body; e.g., the Earth or Moon, and measure the gravity when the electric forces are the unit of measure.
+Lindsay Forbes Yes, the energy which is transported to the "City" is "Dark", and is only observed when it accomplishes "Work". Ergs, Joules, Watts :) What lights the Milky Way? The combined energy of every single atomic particle of our individual existence, along with the mass of the Earth, our Sun and Solar System; combined with the spiraling energy of our "Local Group", join with all the rest of the star systems that are 'lighted' to show the Dark Energy's passage into, and which lights the center of our galaxy. That is the "Power" and the return "Currents" magnetically stabilize the various systems spiraling in those orbits, with all the rest. Whatever "Chaos" our system encounters has been encountered untold numbers of times in the past, and will be so in the future that we, "Ants" can conceive ...
OK. Let's start with the basics. 1) Let's say that we exist within a 4D environment called Space-Time(ST), and that everything within this ST is constantly on the move with a "c" magnitude of motion. Thus if your direction of travel was set to be across space only, rather than being across both space and time, or across just time, your speed would be measured as being the speed of light, aka "c". 2) We are always confined to the present time, or real time. Thus we are 3D entities. However, we exist within a 4D environment. Laws of physics must also exist outside of our present time, but they would be different from those that we are familiar with, since they would include extension across time. Thus outside of our present time, events would be 4 dimensional. Funny enough, if you analyze the outcome of 1 & 2, you end up with 1) Einstein's Special Relativity phenomena, and 2) You end up with all of the strange quantum mechanics effects.
+NEWKNOWLEDGE Well, first we have to define our terms. Let's start with "Space"? What is its definition, in the absence of matter/mass? If "Space" is curved outside of a mass, then what is "Space" composed of that can be curved by the presence of a mass? How did Einstein form the putative "Space/Time Continuum" in a Universe that was empty of all mass (Ric=0)? What is "Time" as an entity? "Time" is the *measure* of duration -- and "Duration" is a convenient concept of Human kind, and not an object, like a hammer, per se. Besides that, what "Time" can exist in an empty Universe, and no distance or real process to measure seconds, minutes, hours or any measure of reality with only empty space, and no instrument to tell time ... Even in our 3D Universe, there is no "Time", and as you mentioned -- there is only *NOW!* No "4D environment." Funny, about laws-of-physics being "outside" of our *NOW. :)* You must be talking about the *TAO* and that others refer to as *GOD* and about those *LAWS OF OUTSIDE?* Remember Pascal's Wager, and stay safe ...!
El Shaddai means God Almighty in Hebrew It comes from the Hebrew word shad which means mountain The Arabic word for mountain is sana Sana means thread of summer in Japanese Sana means eternity in Sanskrit The Ancient Jews believed that the earth(cosmos in Greek) was flat Albert Einstein modeled the cosmos with an infinite flat sheet of space/time A black hole is an infinite pit in space/time An infinite mountain in space/time would be an infinite white hole. Dark Energy and Dark Matter can be explained by finite quantum spinning white holes(tachyons) that exist for a few planck instances. Some scientists believe that the big bang was a white hole If God is an infinite white hole than the Father would be the infinite singularity of the white hole, the Son would be the infinite tachyon, and the Holy Spirit would be the infinite tachyonic wave(space) Space does not expand: The cosmos is shrinking while space is constant. This means that the speed of light is shrinking each planck instant in a way that makes it appear constant If the cosmos is shrinking then the density of energy is increasing. This means that all energy will become a black hole because of Schwarzschild radius The beginning of the big bang had 0 entropy which means 100% of the universe was light The universe now has less than 5% light Conclusion the 3 dimensional cosmos is inbetween an infinite infinitely dimensional white hole and an infinite 0 dimensional black hole. (Taegeuk) Good does not need evil to exist Black Holes are not eternal because of Hawking radiation If you don't abide in Jesus Christ you will be deleted You have the choice to be loved everlastingly or to suffer infinite entropy as your last memory that seems forever because 0 time is eternal to a tachyon Please choose the Perfect Agape of God.
Nima's best talk currently on UA-cam, for a "primed" general audience, which addresses these fundamental concerns in survey fashion, I think. This address is tighter & leaner, flows better, and fills in some gaps previously left unattended to, again and again (alas), in a way that makes Nima's argument more lucid in practical terms. Much less stuttering about, "um-um-um"-ing, and fewer hand waving gestures, too, than previously typical -- all to the good. I'd point others here first if you are recommending Nima to a friend with a good general background knowledge in the physical sciences who might be interested in these topics. It's good, too, to see that Nima has apparently managed to stay slimmed down for awhile now. I probably won't be here to get the professor's take on these matters 25-30 years hence, but I feel a bit more optimistic about others getting the chance.
Frederick J. .....Hey judge and jury, Try to be less critical. These guys can’t all be out of some cookie-cutter. They may have some, or much, of the same information, but they still think and act differently. Different genes; not robots. I’d rather each is able to be himself, rather than worry about whether the critical public is counting hm’s, um’s and ahs.
I greatly admire the way Nima's mind works. I would have never been able to fully grasp some of the concepts he discusses, without his unique perspective and creative way of describing properties and concepts, as he so elequantly does. I can relate to him, which maybe the primary reason.
I agree. I was at a dinner at my cousins house and their friend who was there was a Harvard Astrophysicist who would be pacing and talking to himself. It makes sense to me, their minds are always firing but with deep concepts and reflection.
I hope Nima Arkani-Hamed realizes what a badass he is. I don't think there's any chance of it going to his head- these ideas are so enormous that humility is sort of forced upon you, no matter how smart you are.
Interesting man, interesting topic. Capable of explaining very complicated areas of physics so that anyone can sort of understand. It seems like every time I watch one of these lectures when the camera pans out to audience the average age of people attending these kinds lectures has to be at least 60 years old. Personally I'm 62 so I would fit right in age wise at least with the audiences. There is at least one exception to this: Richard Feynman's audiences were very young. This could have something to do with the fact, however, that a lot of his lectures were given to students trying to pass one of his physics courses so perhaps this doesn't really count as an exception. But it makes me wonder why young people are, on average not very interested in physics.
I like the metaphor of reaching base camp. If paradox is intrinsic to rational qua empirical analysis, it too may need to be let go, along with space time, prior to an attempt for the summit, all things being equal.
to encapsulate this without wandering about "Proving " every detail, and then moving forward with some clarified hypothesis would be effective method of making some point, other than chasing red herrings across the sea of mathematical equations and formulas. is my observation.
In between 1:10 and 1:11 he said while he could state the geometrical problem to a high school student, he wouldn’t expect the student to solve it, as he hadn’t been able to solve it. I didn’t hear him state the problem. What’s the geometric problem to be solved?
I have a DUMB question concerning all these super collider experiments. when they smash two protons together in these enormous energy head-on collisions how can they know what came out of the process were particles that were inside the protons? How do they know that the particles themselves were not created out of the energy that they put in to the collisions and not particles that were composed of the protons themselves?
Since all particles made of mater are made of energy and we don''t really know what energy is; this is NOT a dumb question. I hope some day we find better methods and answers.
The phenomenon of resonance is most likely where we will find answers to the most intractable problems. Concerning the question of what happened before the Big Bang, there is no known law which prohibits a resonating wave from spontaneously appearing in the quantum soup. In fact, as the quantum soup has no time or space, the spontaneous appearance of a resonance wave in the soup must be expected from shear randomness.
An E8 crystal, made of metamaterial i.e. nanodiamond with nitrogen voids, may be able to recreate the pre-Big Bang resonance frequency. I predict that such a crystal may allow us to open up a parallel universe, or trigger a Big Bang like event, or create energy/mass in a controlled way.
What's new in this talk is two real particles produce two other real particle, while what's going on in the point of contact, called the virtual box, involves combinatorics of white and black vertex points. Interesting insight, but how the foundations of QM are not shaken by dark matter and energy remains unexplained.
Fully understanding of the space and universes, has to be explained by different types of tools ⚒️ which we have available to used them to bring the enough sense’s to the subjects, which we are talking about.
Allow me to also couple a few things in a loose manner. Amplitude relates to the volume of this modified Feynman diagram. What happens to the circumference of the circle when the volume doubles? You know, holographic universe and stuff?
Okay..... we exists within a 4D environment known as Space-Time, however we are also confined to the "NOW" time, thus we are confined to a mere 3D reality. So you have two realities. One is 3D, and the other is 4D. And on top of that, you obviously end up with two different sets of laws of physics. Take the famous 2 slit light experiment for instance. Which set of laws of physics are in control of the experiment, is what determines whether you will see particle behaviour occur, or wave behaviour. And of course the 4D space-time reality, and its own set of laws of physics, also explains things such the delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment, and its results that were witnessed in 1999.
Best Hamed talk yet. Is it me or does positive geometry/amplituhedron concepts map on to Anirban Bandyopadhyay's FIT/GML (Fractal Information Theory from Geometric Music Language) with all the triangulated geometric singularities combining QM/GTR?
In "The Future of Fundamental Physics -- Nima Arkani-Hamed -- Cornell Messenger Lectures" hr say that two spaceships accelerating to light speed with a cable between them that the cable would snap. This contraction is in the direction of acceleration, so if these spaces ships were traveling side by side, it would not snap. I am sure he knows this. If one were following the other hr would be correct. He should have made this clear.
Thank you Nima, for giving some of us more to ponder in this area. Still trying to get my head round space /time and inside/outside of same. Will let you know when I've got it all figured out. Meanwhile thanks for a great lecture.
electricity does, the electron, which is a particle, but why would anyone, or thing in the natural world move harder, longer, or more complicated than necessary. Unless you count the three guys who change a lightbulb, one to hold the bulb, and two to spin him around.
1:17:46 After well over an hour of concentrated effort by Dr. Arkani-Hamed, first questioner out of the box reveals that he doesn't even understand that the title of the lecture was meant figuratively and not literally. Ouch.
I had a total of 3 questions which i made at the beginning of the lecture just by looking at the title. I knew the content of the lecture expect for the part where he mentioned combinatorics. My other 2 questions were little more technical which i asked him outside the hall & that was about co-relating Quantum spin of a particle to string field theory & how it speculates or explains through feynmann diagram? & can spacetime be discrete? LQG is taking that approach to understand Quantum gravity. I didn't want to go too technical & too over the topic but I wasn't too off. Also i wanted him shed some light on Entropy, Spacetime & QM.
It seems like a lot of incorrect conclusions can be drawn from a flawed set of axioms, using a flawless mathematical method. And don't anyone dare suggest he's building perfect houses on sand. He knows everything, don't you know... Typical physics type.
Shouldn't tiny black holes evaporate? Measuring the remains would surely be a landmark! Hawking - Susskind debate all over again! Maybe the information can be resolved from the aftermath.
He oversimplifies "quantum tells us there's no determinism" end of story. But quantum just shows us we can't predict a fixed future. It doesn't mean the future is not fixed. Determinism arises from either/and time dilation, or simultaneity in relativity - both point to determinism and don't work without it. It's also not clockwork determinism, it's 4dimensional structure determinism.
Micro Hadron collider at the microscopic level is the first thing I would think of several powerful tools that we have on the shelf for the next generation Hadron collider.
The Thumbnail for the video is a bit weird, so i've first read "The End of Spartacus" , my bad I guess, but im here either way. P.S. Hm interesting concepts , I guess he is right about coming on to the hard problems from a different angle, yea very interesting.
So it is not the end of space-time rather another starting of another space-time idea as your conclusion. However when a vibration start then time start too in this case vibration is gravity its need medium which is space-time.we can give another name of space-time but effect is same

John Długosz very similar to his Messenger Lectures from a few years ago. Instead of complaining, pick up some math and try to help move the ball farther down the field!
How did you operationally measure that they're complaining? I'm asking since science is, like, totally awesome or whatever and that experiment is the final arbiter of truth or something.
@Bob Trenwith lol snowflake, please don't cry when glib remarks are met with glib remarks. After all, such a response is perfectly conformant with the nature, or if u prefer, the genetic defect, of "free world" speech. Strange that ur not used to it yet, boi, u seem the type perfect for the receiving end
It is not Einstein's ideas. Those ideas belong to Lorentz and Pioncare. Their misguided interpretation belongs to Minkowski. Einstein copied all of them.
At 3:45 Dr Arkani-Hamed says that physics is either 400 or 2000 years old, depending on where you start counting. Newton was 400 years ago. Is he referring to Euclid as the beginning of physics 2000 years ago? Euclid was a physicist? Interesting idea.
Usually particle physicists are referring to Democritus as he was the first recorded person to come up with the theory that the world is made from indivisible particles (i.e. particle physics) which he called "atoms".
Chris: but that is a specific theory of physics, not physics as field, Thales is the one to be credited for the development of physics as research of nature in an empirical and non-mythological way. Of course he could have got precursors but they remain unknown. Aristotle himself considered Thales to be "the first philosopher", i.e. what we now call "scientist". His main work was in the fields of geometry and astronomy, conceptualization of causality and ultimate origin (arché). Of course he was a pioneer, so some of his ideas, such as "water" being the principle of it all, sound now weird, loosely magical and obsolete, but so does much of "science" before Descartes. Democritus is two centuries more recent than Thales, who lived around 500 BCE, so he should be more advanced, just as Einstein is compared to Newton.
Thanks Luis, Just to be clear I wasn't arguing for Democritus being a better choice than Thales I was just saying that he is the traditional choice of particle physicists.
Only in the Copenhagen interpretation determinism is gone. There is no evidence that it is the right interpretation. It's just the most comfortable one.
Would it be possible to measure inside a black hole by creating it with particles that are all entangled with a partner and then measure properties of the partners outside the black hole? It is not understood how the mind affect the collapse of the quantum mechanical wave function, I think.
He should write a book but he thinks it's a waste of time. it's not, u might not find the holy grail but u might be able to inspire the next person to find it.
That would require a cohesive thought that can span several hundred pages. It seems his desire for making these speeches is in trying to figure out the purpose of his life's work. I don't think he has a clear path right now and is only slowly coming to grips with the fact that String Theory is, in fact, a dead-end path.
Im a chemist and pretty well rounded in science overall, but I dont understand this stuff at all :O. And he goes to say a high schooler should understand this XD
Could we be in a Hadron collider all ready they said that there is a radiation like bubble on the outer most spacecraft we sent out reported a high heating and radioactive energy that surrounds our solar system. We wouldn't know if we were going near the speed of light all ready and to go the speed of light is to stand still.lol
Why does he say the size of the observable universe is 10 billion light years when the diameter is actually 93 billion light years? He just failed physics 101.
Sorry, but i'm not convinced at all by the talk ! The lecture is quite long but with very few explanations. He said interesting things but that could have been summed up in15 minutes. Top ! His presentation is voluntarily cheap in "genius mode" : "You know, I'm a genius, a pure spirit so I'm above materials things !" His page on Wikipedia is rather thin.
I think that the young girl sitting in the first row eating candy somehow knows that in just five, or maybe six decades, that all of these other annoying people will finally, at last be gone.
Quantum entanglement of all proton in universe via gravity make uncertainty in QM by h/(2*3.14)=g*(2.17*10^-8)^2/c, dynamic space time from Planck to proton scale create strong force by quantum black hole of proton from 8.85*10^-16=4.18*(6.67*10^-11)*((2.17*10^-8)/(1.67*10*10^-27))^2*(1.67*10^-27)/(299792458)^2.
Did he just say a particle moves by calculating every possibility and then it settles on the one with least energy? I think he just added decision making to a mindless particle. I don't have patience to hear much more. I'll wait for some evidence based results - thank you. Some people do just like Tesla said - "so far into math they left reality behind"
He was merely anthropomorphising the behaviour of quantum particles. It wasn't meant to be taken literally. Take a course in Lagrangian mechanics and the path-integral formulation of Quantum mechanics to fully grasp what he's talking about.
The double slit experiment has you covered. It proves a particle goes through two holes at the same time. If you understand it, you understand quantum weirdness and you can collect a Nobel prize in Sweden. There is experimental proof that nature does things that nobody understands yet. Physicist don't like it, I don't like it, you don't have the patience for it, but Nature is what she is and doesn't care about our sensibilities.
What do you mean "you don't have the patience for it"? I've been studying quantum stuff for years and I know how to program Quantum Computers... That takes patience - especially when it only is useful for certain kinds of numerical analysis - honestly its a process of data to 3D transformations that the Quantum Computer can handle as data in, then BANG, it gives you enough information to convert it into data forms (data results translated to numbers people and other computers can process) It's really FAST at one thing.... but each Quantum core is really nothing more than a BALL you manipulate and the orientation of them.... Its kind of strange. Like Data to Quantum Computer Usable, Processes in instant, then translate back so you can read the results. It's like useless in video games or simulations unless it's a "HELPER" - quantum computers CAN NOT do what regular computers do... Regular Computers, can not do the ONE THING quantum computers do fast.... calculations on a small quantum sized marble that spins and stuff, transformations - are actually 3D in nature - Quantum seems like 3D programming spheres in a game to rotate and spin and then read their current position when it stops... kinda how works - weird... But don't say I don't have patience for it... Particles turn to energy that is still vibrating and acts slightly different - then by being observed it can collapse from energy (still the vibration of whatever material) back to its physical form. Add quantum entanglement... and unified field theory - All this stuff screams "God Created the Universe" not - PER CHANCE. Gambling is bad M'Kay :) And don't worry, I know the Earth is round.
This guy literally adds nothing new. His talk about "end of spacetime" is bs. I watched a bunch of his lectures and the only thing he does is give a lecture in history of what we already know. He just talks and talks and never clearly states his thing about the end of spacetime. Maybe I'm wrong
This is an invitation to see a theory on the nature of time! In this theory we have an emergent uncertain future continuously coming into existence relative to the spontaneous absorption and emission of photon energy. Within such a process the wave particle duality of light and matter in the form of electrons is forming a blank canvas that we can interact with forming the possible into the actual! The future is unfolding with each photon electron coupling or dipole moment relative to the atoms of the periodic table and the individual wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. As part of a universal process of energy exchange that forms the ever changing world of our everyday life the ‘past’ has gone forever. At the smallest scale of this process the ‘past’ is represented by anti-matter annihilation with the symmetry between matter and anti-matter representing the symmetry between the future and the past as the future unfolds photon by photon. In such a theory the mathematics of quantum mechanics represents the physics of ‘time’ with the classical physics of Newton representing processes over a period of time, as in Newton’s differential equations. In my videos I explain how this process is relative to temperature and the phase changes of matter.
An artist theory on the physics of 'Time' as a physical process. Quantum Atom Theory ........As an atheist, I am nevertheless reminded of a statement I read many years ago: “God must recreate the Universe every instant.”
This guy is fantastic. What I like the most about his lectures is the simplicity in explaning the things that are hard to comprehend even for the most brilliant minds of our time, in a way that it can be understood even by a simple mind like my own. I enjoyed every second of this video.

The intent herein is to offer for consideration, in the context of this talk, a new definition of space consistent with the CIG Theory, which has already offered a new definition of Matter.

While the current definition of space in its simplest form customarily is:
"a boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction"
As can be seen, since we have redefined Matter in the context of the curvature of space-time, we must also redefine "Space" as well, herein and as best I can, as follows:
Space is that three dimensional extent in which objects and their events occur, wherein those objects of Matter are they themselves curved space-time, wherein the aforementioned space consists of and emerges via the unfolding of that Matter into various volumes and densities of Space by way of opportunistic rates of motion of Matter. In it's simpler form, Space is unfolded Matter, emergent from rates of motion.
That's it and if I come up with a better definition or if someone else would like a try in the context of CIG Theory, please have a go at it.
In this manner, a particle can become spatial and go through both slits in the double slit experiment.
Any replies?

Anyway, it seems like a very exciting time for us all to live through. Had it not been for the 'pandemic', I probably would never have had the opportunity to view these lectures. Mind you, I struggled with QM for years before this, there is so much terrible information out there, even from the physicists, that a layman can become totally confused by it. Lubos Motl, Anton Zeilinger, and Nima are all people who who get QM and can cut through the noise.
Thanks for recommending this!
I appreciate the titles. I’ll check them out.
I admire Nima always, but I pay particular attention to when he says, “We don’t know.” Hey Nima, you should just read the UTUBE comments to find your missing information. There are people here who know it all !
+Shirley Mason Good one! But, in our hearts, we know that what is "broken" by the "collider" is energy. Quantum energy is measured how? Space/Time theory does not explain gravity -- that, as mentioned is "dead". We can discuss the "mass" as the total energy of the body; e.g., the Earth or Moon, and measure the gravity when the electric forces are the unit of measure.
Got a good idea about Dark Energy 😎
+Lindsay Forbes Yes, the energy which is transported to the "City" is "Dark", and is only observed when it accomplishes "Work". Ergs, Joules, Watts :) What lights the Milky Way?
The combined energy of every single atomic particle of our individual existence, along with the mass of the Earth, our Sun and Solar System; combined with the spiraling energy of our "Local Group", join with all the rest of the star systems that are 'lighted' to show the Dark Energy's passage into, and which lights the center of our galaxy. That is the "Power" and the return "Currents" magnetically stabilize the various systems spiraling in those orbits, with all the rest.
Whatever "Chaos" our system encounters has been encountered untold numbers of times in the past, and will be so in the future that we, "Ants" can conceive ...
OK. Let's start with the basics.
1) Let's say that we exist within a 4D environment called Space-Time(ST), and that everything within this ST is constantly on the move with a "c" magnitude of motion. Thus if your direction of travel was set to be across space only, rather than being across both space and time, or across just time, your speed would be measured as being the speed of light, aka "c".
2) We are always confined to the present time, or real time. Thus we are 3D entities. However, we exist within a 4D environment. Laws of physics must also exist outside of our present time, but they would be different from those that we are familiar with, since they would include extension across time. Thus outside of our present time, events would be 4 dimensional.
Funny enough, if you analyze the outcome of 1 & 2, you end up with 1) Einstein's Special Relativity phenomena, and 2) You end up with all of the strange quantum mechanics effects.
+NEWKNOWLEDGE Well, first we have to define our terms. Let's start with "Space"? What is its definition, in the absence of matter/mass? If "Space" is curved outside of a mass, then what is "Space" composed of that can be curved by the presence of a mass? How did Einstein form the putative "Space/Time Continuum" in a Universe that was empty of all mass (Ric=0)?
What is "Time" as an entity? "Time" is the *measure* of duration -- and "Duration" is a convenient concept of Human kind, and not an object, like a hammer, per se. Besides that, what "Time" can exist in an empty Universe, and no distance or real process to measure seconds, minutes, hours or any measure of reality with only empty space, and no instrument to tell time ...
Even in our 3D Universe, there is no "Time", and as you mentioned -- there is only *NOW!* No "4D environment." Funny, about laws-of-physics being "outside" of our *NOW. :)* You must be talking about the *TAO* and that others refer to as *GOD* and about those *LAWS OF OUTSIDE?*
Remember Pascal's Wager, and stay safe ...!
It always makes my day to see a new Nima talk on UA-cam!
a real treat.
There aren’t many ways I’d rather spend my Friday evening.
El Shaddai means God Almighty in Hebrew
It comes from the Hebrew word shad which means mountain
The Arabic word for mountain is sana
Sana means thread of summer in Japanese
Sana means eternity in Sanskrit
The Ancient Jews believed that the earth(cosmos in Greek) was flat
Albert Einstein modeled the cosmos with an infinite flat sheet of space/time
A black hole is an infinite pit in space/time
An infinite mountain in space/time would be an infinite white hole.
Dark Energy and Dark Matter can be explained by finite quantum spinning white holes(tachyons) that exist for a few planck instances.
Some scientists believe that the big bang was a white hole
If God is an infinite white hole than the Father would be the infinite singularity of the white hole, the Son would be the infinite tachyon, and the Holy Spirit would be the infinite tachyonic wave(space)
Space does not expand: The cosmos is shrinking while space is constant. This means that the speed of light is shrinking each planck instant in a way that makes it appear constant
If the cosmos is shrinking then the density of energy is increasing.
This means that all energy will become a black hole because of Schwarzschild radius
The beginning of the big bang had 0 entropy which means 100% of the universe was light
The universe now has less than 5% light
Conclusion the 3 dimensional cosmos is inbetween an infinite infinitely dimensional white hole and an infinite 0 dimensional black hole. (Taegeuk)
Good does not need evil to exist
Black Holes are not eternal because of Hawking radiation
If you don't abide in Jesus Christ you will be deleted
You have the choice to be loved everlastingly or to suffer infinite entropy as your last memory that seems forever because 0 time is eternal to a tachyon
Please choose the Perfect Agape of God.
Nima's best talk currently on UA-cam, for a "primed" general audience, which addresses these fundamental concerns in survey fashion, I think. This address is tighter & leaner, flows better, and fills in some gaps previously left unattended to, again and again (alas), in a way that makes Nima's argument more lucid in practical terms. Much less stuttering about, "um-um-um"-ing, and fewer hand waving gestures, too, than previously typical -- all to the good.
I'd point others here first if you are recommending Nima to a friend with a good general background knowledge in the physical sciences who might be interested in these topics.
It's good, too, to see that Nima has apparently managed to stay slimmed down for awhile now. I probably won't be here to get the professor's take on these matters 25-30 years hence, but I feel a bit more optimistic about others getting the chance.
Frederick J. .....Hey judge and jury, Try to be less critical. These guys can’t all be out of some cookie-cutter. They may have some, or much, of the same information, but they still think and act differently. Different genes; not robots. I’d rather each is able to be himself, rather than worry about whether the critical public is counting hm’s, um’s and ahs.
Yeah , 78 has 13 steps. He has his own personal take. Wonderful lecturer.
I agree.
Some people are just so smart that their brain thinks way too fast to even speak....this guy is one of those people.
I greatly admire the way Nima's mind works. I would have never been able to fully grasp some of the concepts he discusses, without his unique perspective and creative way of describing properties and concepts, as he so elequantly does. I can relate to him, which maybe the primary reason.
I agree. I was at a dinner at my cousins house and their friend who was there was a Harvard Astrophysicist who would be pacing and talking to himself. It makes sense to me, their minds are always firing but with deep concepts and reflection.
Great talk. Intriguing to imagine how Space-Time locality can be reduced to a special case of a more fundamental concept ..
😇 Say thanks to you for your unique video, it truly is much valued and I really value your hard work !👍
Yea, another Nima lecture. Thanks for sharing.
I hope Nima Arkani-Hamed realizes what a badass he is. I don't think there's any chance of it going to his head- these ideas are so enormous that humility is sort of forced upon you, no matter how smart you are.
Interesting man, interesting topic. Capable of explaining very complicated areas of physics so that anyone can sort of understand. It seems like every time I watch one of these lectures when the camera pans out to audience the average age of people attending these kinds lectures has to be at least 60 years old. Personally I'm 62 so I would fit right in age wise at least with the audiences. There is at least one exception to this: Richard Feynman's audiences were very young. This could have something to do with the fact, however, that a lot of his lectures were given to students trying to pass one of his physics courses so perhaps this doesn't really count as an exception. But it makes me wonder why young people are, on average not very interested in physics.
I like the metaphor of reaching base camp. If paradox is intrinsic to rational qua empirical analysis, it too may need to be let go, along with space time, prior to an attempt for the summit, all things being equal.
You had me at triangle. You lost me after triangle.
to encapsulate this without wandering about "Proving " every detail, and then moving forward with some clarified hypothesis would be effective method of making some point, other than chasing red herrings across the sea of mathematical equations and formulas. is my observation.
I love the thumbnail. Like he’s calling his shot like babe Ruth
Well that was easy to understand.
Don Hoffman approves
Haha
In between 1:10 and 1:11 he said while he could state the geometrical problem to a high school student, he wouldn’t expect the student to solve it, as he hadn’t been able to solve it. I didn’t hear him state the problem. What’s the geometric problem to be solved?
Same! The equation below was a hint but still not enough
Scatter amplitude
I have a DUMB question concerning all these super collider experiments. when they smash two protons together in these enormous energy head-on collisions how can they know what came out of the process were particles that were inside the protons? How do they know that the particles themselves were not created out of the energy that they put in to the collisions and not particles that were composed of the protons themselves?
Since all particles made of mater are made of energy and we don''t really know what energy is; this is NOT a dumb question. I hope some day we find better methods and answers.
The phenomenon of resonance is most likely where we will find answers to the most intractable problems.
Concerning the question of what happened before the Big Bang, there is no known law which prohibits a resonating wave from spontaneously appearing in the quantum soup. In fact, as the quantum soup has no time or space, the spontaneous appearance of a resonance wave in the soup must be expected from shear randomness.
An E8 crystal, made of metamaterial i.e. nanodiamond with nitrogen voids, may be able to recreate the pre-Big Bang resonance frequency. I predict that such a crystal may allow us to open up a parallel universe, or trigger a Big Bang like event, or create energy/mass in a controlled way.
I agree. But doesn't positive geometry/amplituhedron most closely map to Anirban Bandyopadhyay 's FIT/GML's fractal logic space. So many similarities.
What's new in this talk is two real particles produce two other real particle, while what's going on in the point of contact, called the virtual box, involves combinatorics of white and black vertex points. Interesting insight, but how the foundations of QM are not shaken by dark matter and energy remains unexplained.
dark matter is a big problem I guess
"The End of Spacetime" finally, now bury it, deep.
Fully understanding of the space and universes, has to be explained by different types of tools ⚒️ which we have available to used them to bring the enough sense’s to the subjects, which we are talking about.
Allow me to also couple a few things in a loose manner.
Amplitude relates to the volume of this modified Feynman diagram.
What happens to the circumference of the circle when the volume
doubles?
You know, holographic universe and stuff?
When the volume of a sphere doubles, it's diameter increases by 2^(1/3).
When the area of a circle doubles it's circumference increases by 2^(1/2).
Great lecture Nima .
Okay..... we exists within a 4D environment known as Space-Time, however we are also confined to the "NOW" time, thus we are confined to a mere 3D reality. So you have two realities. One is 3D, and the other is 4D. And on top of that, you obviously end up with two different sets of laws of physics. Take the famous 2 slit light experiment for instance. Which set of laws of physics are in control of the experiment, is what determines whether you will see particle behaviour occur, or wave behaviour. And of course the 4D space-time reality, and its own set of laws of physics, also explains things such the delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment, and its results that were witnessed in 1999.
Great talk!
I think the screen prjection says, "The End degrees Fahrenheit Space- Time".
Haha
Slow down playback speed to 0.75. Much easier to follow.
Yesss this is more my speed lol
What a genial physicist Nima
Great talk. Thank you
Is there anybody who can formulate this “high school geometry” problem he was talking about around minute 1:30 into the talk.
Best Hamed talk yet. Is it me or does positive geometry/amplituhedron concepts map on to Anirban Bandyopadhyay's FIT/GML (Fractal Information Theory from Geometric Music Language) with all the triangulated geometric singularities combining QM/GTR?
In "The Future of Fundamental Physics -- Nima Arkani-Hamed -- Cornell Messenger Lectures" hr say that two spaceships accelerating to light speed with a cable between them that the cable would snap. This contraction is in the direction of acceleration, so if these spaces ships were traveling side by side, it would not snap. I am sure he knows this. If one were following the other hr would be correct. He should have made this clear.
Thank you Nima, for giving some of us more to ponder in this area. Still trying to get my head round space /time and inside/outside of same. Will let you know when I've got it all figured out. Meanwhile thanks for a great lecture.
Don't waste your time.
Does a particle simply move in the direction of least resistance?
electricity does, the electron, which is a particle, but why would anyone, or thing in the natural world move harder, longer, or more complicated than necessary. Unless you count the three guys who change a lightbulb, one to hold the bulb, and two to spin him around.
The green-red triangle "problem" at 1:08 it is not explained exactly what the problem is. What is the problem?
The triangle was just sad and he wanted you to confort him. :(
The human being is so special, the one of his kind. I mean the most smartest human ever be born
1:17:46 After well over an hour of concentrated effort by Dr. Arkani-Hamed, first questioner out of the box reveals that he doesn't even understand that the title of the lecture was meant figuratively and not literally. Ouch.
Reminds me of the affirmative action dullards warming seats in college class, waiting for their periodic free money checks.... I lived it.
I had a total of 3 questions which i made at the beginning of the lecture just by looking at the title. I knew the content of the lecture expect for the part where he mentioned combinatorics. My other 2 questions were little more technical which i asked him outside the hall & that was about co-relating Quantum spin of a particle to string field theory & how it speculates or explains through feynmann diagram?
& can spacetime be discrete? LQG is taking that approach to understand Quantum gravity. I didn't want to go too technical & too over the topic but I wasn't too off. Also i wanted him shed some light on Entropy, Spacetime & QM.
It seems like a lot of incorrect conclusions can be drawn from a flawed set of axioms, using a flawless mathematical method. And don't anyone dare suggest he's building perfect houses on sand. He knows everything, don't you know... Typical physics type.
We will also understand where gravity and acceleration of any mass merge into common principles.
Introduction by Steven Spielberg
Shouldn't tiny black holes evaporate? Measuring the remains would surely be a landmark! Hawking - Susskind debate all over again! Maybe the information can be resolved from the aftermath.
He oversimplifies "quantum tells us there's no determinism" end of story. But quantum just shows us we can't predict a fixed future. It doesn't mean the future is not fixed. Determinism arises from either/and time dilation, or simultaneity in relativity - both point to determinism and don't work without it. It's also not clockwork determinism, it's 4dimensional structure determinism.
Great talk. BTW power point no?
Micro Hadron collider at the microscopic level is the first thing I would think of several powerful tools that we have on the shelf for the next generation Hadron collider.
It needs to be bigger to go smaller ????
16:25
Glad that his public speaking has improved. He has overcome his speech impediment.
The Thumbnail for the video is a bit weird, so i've first read "The End of Spartacus" , my bad I guess, but im here either way.
P.S. Hm interesting concepts , I guess he is right about coming on to the hard problems from a different angle, yea very interesting.
So it is not the end of space-time rather another starting of another space-time idea as your conclusion. However when a vibration start then time start too in this case vibration is gravity its need medium which is space-time.we can give another name of space-time but effect is same
Yet... Isn't the "volume" of a amplituhedron "spatial" -- just like a volume is spatial -- ?!
No.
Is this somehow connected to the E8 mathematical structure?
No.
It is not 10 billion light years, but rather 250 billion light years. The CMB is 42 trillion light years away.
I thought the observable universe was 14 billion light years in radius because we estimate the big bang to have happened 14 billion years ago?
@@N0Xa880iUL Lamestream cosmology is 100% fiction and 0% truth. The only thing it gets right is that the universe is expanding. Beyond that there is no figure or fact they get right.
Oh goodness. I just say hand me a number Duh
@@brendawilliams8062 If you want precise calculations based on scientific principles, instead of metaphysical nonsense (which you get from the mainstream), you have to come to me.
The internet mediocrity principle however dictates that you will shrug off my comment as nonsense. Internet IDs could solve that problem.
@@SkyDarmos you are a scientist! Congratulations. I explore pi. I have a numbers theory addiction. I am not a scientist. Thankyou. Your channel looks great.
Wow, I can’t believe we have very smart people without accents that keep you from understanding a word they say. Cool‼️👍🏻
In all seriousness, it helps to change the speed setting for this video to .75. Even then, though...
James Lucas ...... and his parents escaped Iran during bad times - physicists also, I believe. I think Nima was born in U.S. Info on internet.
Actually he has an American accent.
Well that was an amazing talk!
Haven't I seen this act before somewhere?
John Długosz very similar to his Messenger Lectures from a few years ago. Instead of complaining, pick up some math and try to help move the ball farther down the field!
Max Wall
Yes, I expect, but not with a narrative for general audiences quite this well organized and coherent.
How did you operationally measure that they're complaining? I'm asking since science is, like, totally awesome or whatever and that experiment is the final arbiter of truth or something.
@Bob Trenwith lol snowflake, please don't cry when glib remarks are met with glib remarks. After all, such a response is perfectly conformant with the nature, or if u prefer, the genetic defect, of "free world" speech. Strange that ur not used to it yet, boi, u seem the type perfect for the receiving end
How far have you gotten with your new point of view whatever it is other than that there might be one
It is not Einstein's ideas. Those ideas belong to Lorentz and Pioncare. Their misguided interpretation belongs to Minkowski. Einstein copied all of them.
Casimir effect proves that virtual photons exist, for real!
You don't need to write down a single virtual photon to calculate the Casimir effect.
At 3:45 Dr Arkani-Hamed says that physics is either 400 or 2000 years old, depending on where you start counting. Newton was 400 years ago. Is he referring to Euclid as the beginning of physics 2000 years ago? Euclid was a physicist? Interesting idea.
I'm assuming he means Aristotle
Thales of Miletus: he basically invented physics, which incidentally is a Greek word: physis = nature.
Usually particle physicists are referring to Democritus as he was the first recorded person to come up with the theory that the world is made from indivisible particles (i.e. particle physics) which he called "atoms".
Chris: but that is a specific theory of physics, not physics as field, Thales is the one to be credited for the development of physics as research of nature in an empirical and non-mythological way. Of course he could have got precursors but they remain unknown. Aristotle himself considered Thales to be "the first philosopher", i.e. what we now call "scientist". His main work was in the fields of geometry and astronomy, conceptualization of causality and ultimate origin (arché). Of course he was a pioneer, so some of his ideas, such as "water" being the principle of it all, sound now weird, loosely magical and obsolete, but so does much of "science" before Descartes.
Democritus is two centuries more recent than Thales, who lived around 500 BCE, so he should be more advanced, just as Einstein is compared to Newton.
Thanks Luis, Just to be clear I wasn't arguing for Democritus being a better choice than Thales I was just saying that he is the traditional choice of particle physicists.
Don Hoffman and Hamed are like a 21st century Copernicus and Einstein, respectively.
Only in the Copenhagen interpretation determinism is gone. There is no evidence that it is the right interpretation. It's just the most comfortable one.
As always, a very interesting talk by Nima. BTW, the kid in the front seat must have an IQ>250.
Would it be possible to measure inside a black hole by creating it with particles that are all entangled with a partner and then measure properties of the partners outside the black hole? It is not understood how the mind affect the collapse of the quantum mechanical wave function, I think.
Doubt it's the mind, its the measurement.
2:20 starts
This is where Animal from Police Academy ended up! Crazy!
"Origin of horrible complexity",, Sounds like a good name for a few puzzle/adventure pc vid games I've played.
"Time" is sure problematic if you don't put Nima at 0.75.
He should write a book but he thinks it's a waste of time. it's not, u might not find the holy grail but u might be able to inspire the next person to find it.
That would require a cohesive thought that can span several hundred pages. It seems his desire for making these speeches is in trying to figure out the purpose of his life's work. I don't think he has a clear path right now and is only slowly coming to grips with the fact that String Theory is, in fact, a dead-end path.
Im a chemist and pretty well rounded in science overall, but I dont understand this stuff at all :O. And he goes to say a high schooler should understand this XD
thank you!
Possibly if you put too much energy into a small space, you get dark matter aka neutrinos.
when you do not know gravity mechanism , how do you see its effects in planck length.
You can't see in the Planck length/space/time. It's called the Planck limit for a reason.
I believe you.
Planks Constant Is Just The Beginning.
The Restaurant at the End of Space-time 😅
What happens next is whatever you expect it to be.
1:19:03 watch the fck out bro :'D
He is so possitive :D
my head hurts now
Could we be in a Hadron collider all ready they said that there is a radiation like bubble on the outer most spacecraft we sent out reported a high heating and radioactive energy that surrounds our solar system. We wouldn't know if we were going near the speed of light all ready and to go the speed of light is to stand still.lol
They are all smiling.
Why does he say the size of the observable universe is 10 billion light years when the diameter is actually 93 billion light years? He just failed physics 101.
Thanks
We Live In Virtual Reality! It's all a fucking game...Prove Me Wrong Please...Tom Campbell Will Show This..
Next stop ... The end of taxation !!
Does every physicist have the "Physicist Hiar cut"
Sorry, but i'm not convinced at all by the talk !
The lecture is quite long but with very few explanations.
He said interesting things but that could have been summed up in15 minutes. Top !
His presentation is voluntarily cheap in "genius mode" : "You know, I'm a genius, a pure spirit so I'm above materials things !"
His page on Wikipedia is rather thin.
I think that the young girl sitting in the first row eating candy somehow knows that in just five, or maybe six decades, that all of these other annoying people will finally, at last be gone.
That was dark John but a necessity for new ideas.
We need to be able to think in infinite dimensions of more than everything and less than nothing.
They should be equal
It's funny that someone so smart draws like an 8 year old
Quantum entanglement of all proton in universe via gravity make uncertainty in QM by h/(2*3.14)=g*(2.17*10^-8)^2/c, dynamic space time from Planck to proton scale create strong force by quantum black hole of proton from 8.85*10^-16=4.18*(6.67*10^-11)*((2.17*10^-8)/(1.67*10*10^-27))^2*(1.67*10^-27)/(299792458)^2.
16:58 :)
Did he just say a particle moves by calculating every possibility and then it settles on the one with least energy? I think he just added decision making to a mindless particle. I don't have patience to hear much more. I'll wait for some evidence based results - thank you. Some people do just like Tesla said - "so far into math they left reality behind"
He was merely anthropomorphising the behaviour of quantum particles. It wasn't meant to be taken literally. Take a course in Lagrangian mechanics and the path-integral formulation of Quantum mechanics to fully grasp what he's talking about.
The double slit experiment has you covered. It proves a particle goes through two holes at the same time. If you understand it, you understand quantum weirdness and you can collect a Nobel prize in Sweden. There is experimental proof that nature does things that nobody understands yet. Physicist don't like it, I don't like it, you don't have the patience for it, but Nature is what she is and doesn't care about our sensibilities.
What do you mean "you don't have the patience for it"? I've been studying quantum stuff for years and I know how to program Quantum Computers... That takes patience - especially when it only is useful for certain kinds of numerical analysis - honestly its a process of data to 3D transformations that the Quantum Computer can handle as data in, then BANG, it gives you enough information to convert it into data forms (data results translated to numbers people and other computers can process) It's really FAST at one thing.... but each Quantum core is really nothing more than a BALL you manipulate and the orientation of them.... Its kind of strange. Like Data to Quantum Computer Usable, Processes in instant, then translate back so you can read the results. It's like useless in video games or simulations unless it's a "HELPER" - quantum computers CAN NOT do what regular computers do... Regular Computers, can not do the ONE THING quantum computers do fast.... calculations on a small quantum sized marble that spins and stuff, transformations - are actually 3D in nature - Quantum seems like 3D programming spheres in a game to rotate and spin and then read their current position when it stops... kinda how works - weird...
But don't say I don't have patience for it... Particles turn to energy that is still vibrating and acts slightly different - then by being observed it can collapse from energy (still the vibration of whatever material) back to its physical form. Add quantum entanglement... and unified field theory - All this stuff screams "God Created the Universe" not - PER CHANCE. Gambling is bad M'Kay :) And don't worry, I know the Earth is round.
This guy literally adds nothing new. His talk about "end of spacetime" is bs. I watched a bunch of his lectures and the only thing he does is give a lecture in history of what we already know. He just talks and talks and never clearly states his thing about the end of spacetime. Maybe I'm wrong
This is an invitation to see a theory on the nature of time! In this theory we have an emergent uncertain future continuously coming into existence relative to the spontaneous absorption and emission of photon energy. Within such a process the wave particle duality of light and matter in the form of electrons is forming a blank canvas that we can interact with forming the possible into the actual! The future is unfolding with each photon electron coupling or dipole moment relative to the atoms of the periodic table and the individual wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. As part of a universal process of energy exchange that forms the ever changing world of our everyday life the ‘past’ has gone forever. At the smallest scale of this process the ‘past’ is represented by anti-matter annihilation with the symmetry between matter and anti-matter representing the symmetry between the future and the past as the future unfolds photon by photon. In such a theory the mathematics of quantum mechanics represents the physics of ‘time’ with the classical physics of Newton representing processes over a period of time, as in Newton’s differential equations. In my videos I explain how this process is relative to temperature and the phase changes of matter.
Vapor Horizon
He's not a shill. He's a charlatan.
An artist theory on the physics of 'Time' as a physical process. Quantum Atom Theory ........As an atheist, I am nevertheless reminded of a statement I read many years ago: “God must recreate the Universe every instant.”
As a process of continuous energy exchange the Universe changes every instant!
