One of your better guests. His is so insanely cognizant of nuance, idiom and basic use of precision grade communication. A scientifically trained intelligent mind is a wonder to behold.
A black hole's temperature, if it has one, doesn't matter because the heat can't escape. I don't know enough about hawking radiation to say how it would affect temperatures of any stuff around it. That might make it feel hot.
It's so interesting how we have transitioned from religion into untestable theories. Where the people whose paycheck is reliant on the public not paying attention to their lack of actually testable and provable output; keep asking people to have faith, in their untestable theory. In the exact same manner priests of Osiris kept telling people to have faith, in their theory, that paying taxes and sacrificing to their temple. Brings better floods.
There is a fundamental difference between "untestable" and "currently untestable." When Einstein predicted gravitational waves, they were untestable, and indeed, he believed they will never be testable. Yet here we are. The tribes of the Amazon rainforest can't test whether the earth is round or not. You can test that with stuff from your hardware store. It's a matter of technology. String theory is a goog and possible explanation of what we see, and thus is a worthwhile scientific endeavour, but no one wants you to blindly believe in it. To the contrary. People are actively working on ways to test it.
I am intoxicated, so take this question with a grain of salt. But what if the reason gravity is so much weaker than other forces is because there is only a finite amount possible? One of the fundamental assumptions of our current physics is that space/time is infinitely deformable...but maybe it isn't. Could it be possible there is a sort of "tension" on space-time that limits how strong gravity can get in a given area?
The best (an worst) questions and ideas come from outside the scientific "box". Dr. Beacham and a few other's aside, most scientists stick to mainstream ideas to keep friction to a minimum. I've asked so many questions that require a lot more salt than this one.
@@Kelnx I think that, like Newton, Einstein found a better model to explain and predict gravity but it's at the very least incomplete. Consider that gravity is cumulative and proportionate to the amount of matter in an area. It could explain why dark matter.'s influence is focused around all cosmic structures and possibly why the opposite affect occurs in the voids. I am so far outside the box that I doubt that there is a box at all. I wish I took physics instead of wood shop.
if light doesnt experience time, does it experience space ? Or is space not "space" since its together with time ? Does space experience time? How old is something that doesnt experience time? And if its invisible light and carries heat ,does heat experience space and time? And how about quantum entanglement? What is the instant connection through space ?Using only words..is light another dimension? Is testing not in itsself a conception that limits to understand all? Like needing a mirror in the dark? Hence schience lasts forever? What does forever mean ? Endless addition of years? Does light last forever , because it has zero age? What is existence?

Also the "Force" of gravity seems to only have a single direction (vector?) to it , i.e. pulls only, as the other 3 forces are bidirectional i.e. + -, N S etc...

I'm jumping up and down with joy with that last answer about hallucinations. I had the same idea years ago after I had a sleep paralysis episode for the first time and saw an alien during the event. Thankfully because of how the event proceeded I was able to to recognize that it was a sleep paralysis episode and I didn't actually have a real visitation experience. Even since then I've wondered if there was some unknown condition that could produce hallucinations seemingly real as sleep paralysis. I absolutely don't think that would explain everything and I still entertain the possibility of aliens or even maybe visitation but I think a lot of legitimate sightings especially of the close encounter kind could just be a really big brain fart.

Great talk. I really enjoyed his idea of grabbing on to a photon. It reminded me of a thought I had a while back about spontaneous emissions. Like... Say some atom does a spontaneous emission (lol) somewhere. The photon travels halfway across the universe and then is absorbed by another atom. One in the sensor of a telescope on a planet that didn't exist when the original emission occurred, for example. If you were to grab onto the photon as the spontaneous emission occurs. It would seem to you like you instantly teleported to the receiving atom in zero time. Regardless the distance. The way I read things, the receiving atom, or some component of it, would be entangled with the transmitting one. Through time. Is that right? Can atoms/particles be entangled with each other to some extent across halfway the universe, through space and time? Merely through radiant light shining on them. I mean for the photon no time passed. Emission and absorption occurs at the same time. One orbital loses energy, another so very very far away, gains energy - At the same time from the perspective of the photon. Just because we're looking from the frame of reference of the photon, doesn't make it not true. And then... How "spontaneous" is the emission really, if there's an instantaneous connection and exchange from one perspective? Where are the borders of the cause and effect?
Does cubic bent space curl back on to the cube to make negative space? Negative space is bent. What about it is bent? It's geometry is negative. Negative space is another dimension. We can get to other dimensions if we bend.
There is no singularity. Beyond the event horizon, there is simply reality going sideways into a new realm/region. The apparent impossibilities of the equations approaching the infinities is just to tell you that you have found a region of new directions.
Love how confidently this man says that atheism is humans default mode when for 99% of our existence it was totally normal to believe in Gods/Spirits/Fae
8:37 err, so, I'm seriously confused here, a Planck length, being the smallest measurable distance... If a sphere (like an electron?) were a planck length in diametre, whats its radius?
It isn’t exactly the smallest measurable distance, it is the smallest meaningful distance, and basically a usefully construction based on constants of the universe. You could think of Planck distance as the distance light travels in a unit of Planck time. Both are related to Plancks constant which has to do with an electrons angular momentum. Obviously light could cross half the distance in half the time, though. So to answer your question if something has a diameter of 1 Planck length, its radius is half of a Planck length. Now can that scale be measured? I’m not clear on that but it’s well understood that a black hole couldn’t be less than one Planck length, apparently.
You can talk about distances less than the Planck length … but there’s no way to measure something that small, because it’s theoricized that a photon or object of something small enough to measure it would collapse into a black hole (one quantum of energy at that wavelength has a Schwatzchild radius greater than that length).
Seems like maybe gravity is the sum of all the directionless magnetic pull of atoms? But you would probably be able to disprove something like that very easily
"i'm a hardcore empiricist" and right after "atheism is the default condition of humankind". I like that paranoia in the political rotten minds of new scientists

If you could make an apple sized black hole on earth. Could you stick your arm in it without the rest of you getting sucked in? Imagine feeling your arm getting spaghettified.
Seems like it would still only be the mass of an apple, but I have watched videos somewhere discussing microscopic black holes in the center of a star would keep growing. So dunno.
Ah, good episode, some things I like to chew on. The current viable string theories I know of are M-theory and K-theory. Both have 3+1 versions. Never got to talk to anyone about manifolds and entanglement. Though a lot jump to mass to like to gravity, energy is a good chunk people seem to miss. Einstein mass and energy warping/bending space. Awesome, he got some of the plank limits. The hawking radiation part is good also, though skipped blast wave for references to another part. Also photon pressure and such. A black hole a future event cloaked in warped time. Also the virtual infinity/singularity. They have solution sets, though few talk about degenerate matter and time distortion and relations relative to the core going out. Natural limits, even the universe as a natural limit. Which also gets to the differences between the big bang and the universe as a black hole 12.5 light years in diameter with error bars ticking in a way to go off/explode/gravity melting into energy. The coldest to hotest phase transition, nuclear burn with 100%, and can cause some censorship along with production. Neutrinos falling into a black hole and condensing into a unique fluid before degeneracy/melt. Also gets to big bang and fluidic neutrinos CNB (cosmic neutrino background ). Personally I don't think there is a graviton, but still know about few of the theories. To the accelerator part. Yes huge, but can be reduced some by intergration of gravitational wave detection. But your still looking at big. I hope they link some of the gravitational wave detectors for triangulation and mapping, even gravitational foam and the contribution to quantum foam if any. Side note. Matter has a valley of stability and antimatter should have the same. The slight differences between them coming out with the heaviest elements, antielements. Also the recent report of Helium and anti Helium existing close together and not destroying each other Another side note. TOE, GUT, string theories, Penrose twistor, and a few others are all variants of hidden variables. Bell even argued for hidden variables after his results. Schrodinger time dependant equations, Hydrogen, Helium the easy ones. 3 body and up growing more complex as the atomic numbers go up. The slit/ double slit reinterpreted some. 1/137, fine grain constant/orbital shell, meets Hisenberg limit showing a banded defraction pattern that traces back to the slit/slits. The tripple polarized light trick is dependant on angles, but there is room for an argument of harmonics for interference and also manifolds. It's kind of like the quantum collapse fuss that's not really a problem. More of which one do you want to use or argue. Constraints. We can find them all over. Quantum foam/lumpiness/smoothness within the universe, Planck limits, limits on dark matter and energy and particle production and so on. Time a persistent illusion. Typically light and particles used to describe it. T=0 no particles yet and a natural cutoff at the energy level needed to create this universe. R=0 and virtual infinity from being able to be pushed further into the future. 1 particle CERN has found that fits for a core type. If you really want to go there. The universes size when the last particle decays and the work done. Or even further and no photons even close enough to interact and red shifting and photons getting to a sudo ground state. And the size then. Also a slightly different perspective. A boltzmann time bomb with time flows that can differ, but all end up in the same larger timeline in the end. The weirdness of when looked at a way, the amount of time that can happen shrinks as decay happens from matter and the total amount of stuff made, decays away. ( argument: how much time does the last 2 particles have vs the universe in its state now. Also if you use the size of the space(photons,quantum foam) at points like the last particle decaying. If the universe is a natural cutoff regime or limit. Then you get a few ways to calculate a probabilistic universe over. Things like universe artifacting helping with things like plains. 55:55 lol magic numbers reminds me of magic shell modeling, and islands of stability theories. 57:37 One for the quantum multiverse/manyworlds was quantum computers along with CERN search for dimensionality. There was a site from D-wave people called hack the multiverse about programming quantum computers. Showing the interests for some people even back then. Besides those move away from the shared reality we all exist in. 1:03:25 I love SETI, but wish it was expanded some. If alien is fleeting short sparks for intelligence and intelligent species lead to A.G.I. and then A.S.I.. That gives filters and techno signatures to look for. In a way it gets back to constraints and limits of types. I don't think they would be here in biological at first. But if you want to get into crazy WTF possibility. Memetic imprinting over time. Welcome to wonderland of science and mathematics. ALICE detector and almost perfect fluidity ( H3 superfluidity boojum) and the white rabbit timing ToF. O.S. Root and trees and libraries. Tweedle sets and quantum cats and snark graph theory and color theories. CERN the looking glass into wonderland. Alice strings and Alice rings and hedgehogs. Chemistry mirror, Cheshire molecules, the particle zoo and table of elements and isotopes. 1:17:56 When technology becomes indistinguishable from magic. 1:20:09 Humans are a highly delusional species. The internet is part of the proof of that. 1:21:40 Constructive. Gravitational wave triangulation, improved neutrino detection, the neutrino floor, CNB mapping. Antimatter valley of stability mapping. 1:23:45 Question. Can you make a metamaterial bubble? Casimir effect should link to dark energy and matter. ( constraints on such ). Part depending on framing/how it's framed. Also have they tried to make a metamaterial for photon wells or neutron lensing? Back to UAP. Intelligent species will want to send Von Neumann probes for networking back and bioprinting along with DNA/RNA printing and atomic printing. Data and through put. Why go looking for aliens when humans are already so alien from each other? Great episode. Keep up the good work.

I've heard this before when physicists from Cern say that microscopic black holes are perfectly safe and will evaporate immediately due to Hawking radiation. They are probably right in their theories, but it is still just theories. If they are wrong, it could be an explanation for the Fermi paradox, as most intelligent beings out there might have made the same mistake and destroyed themselves. When they exploded the first atomic bomb, they feared that the bomb could create a fusion reaction in the atmosphere that could wipe out all life on Earth. They exploded the bomb even though they were still unsure if this could happen. When you start experiments that theoretically can wipe out all life on Earth, you should be 100 percent sure that it is not dangerous, 99.99999 percent certainty is no longer good enough.
Listening to these two talk about "Beautiful math" in theories is very ironic, when it is exactly the problem in particle physics and cosmology., "If you ask a particke physicist if he wants a new and bigger accelerator, he will say yes" I think i heard Sabine Hossenfelder say that once.
At one time, whether or not you could "understand" string theory was deemed a measurement of your intelligence. Now, it appears to perhaps not even exist. I wonder what non-existent concept is beeing deemed the new meause of intelligence
The are pictures and video taken with phones......unfortunately phones were never designed to take images of fast moving objects in the sky. So you end up with video with just a blurry object streaking past in a fraction of a second or an object in frame with nothing around it to compare speed or size

According to Hawking's theory, the smaller the black hole, the more radiation it gives off. Wouldn't a micro-black hole be extraordinarily hot?
And extraordinarily temporal?
It would radiate what it has faster than it can accrete more mass. It would be very hot, but tiny. Then it would be gone.
A black hole's temperature, if it has one, doesn't matter because the heat can't escape. I don't know enough about hawking radiation to say how it would affect temperatures of any stuff around it. That might make it feel hot.

Thankfully because of how the event proceeded I was able to to recognize that it was a sleep paralysis episode and I didn't actually have a real visitation experience. Even since then I've wondered if there was some unknown condition that could produce hallucinations seemingly real as sleep paralysis. I absolutely don't think that would explain everything and I still entertain the possibility of aliens or even maybe visitation but I think a lot of legitimate sightings especially of the close encounter kind could just be a really big brain fart.
DMT, mushroom or Ayahuasca trips famously have experiences where people claim to meet entities. A lot of people feel they genuinely tapped into some other dimension to meet them. Something to look into if you find it interesting
Step 1: multiply miscellaneous physical constants together until you have only a unit of length remaining
Step 2: ???
Step 3: this number defines the boundary beyond which quantum mechanics stops applying
What replaces quantum mechanics at that level?
Seems like a stupid idea until we’re a space faring race.
1:28:45 I guess granite cut with cnc cut like precision isn't advanced enough for him
Good one this week :)
Great talk. I really enjoyed his idea of grabbing on to a photon. It reminded me of a thought I had a while back about spontaneous emissions. Like... Say some atom does a spontaneous emission (lol) somewhere. The photon travels halfway across the universe and then is absorbed by another atom. One in the sensor of a telescope on a planet that didn't exist when the original emission occurred, for example. If you were to grab onto the photon as the spontaneous emission occurs. It would seem to you like you instantly teleported to the receiving atom in zero time. Regardless the distance. The way I read things, the receiving atom, or some component of it, would be entangled with the transmitting one. Through time. Is that right? Can atoms/particles be entangled with each other to some extent across halfway the universe, through space and time? Merely through radiant light shining on them. I mean for the photon no time passed. Emission and absorption occurs at the same time. One orbital loses energy, another so very very far away, gains energy - At the same time from the perspective of the photon. Just because we're looking from the frame of reference of the photon, doesn't make it not true. And then... How "spontaneous" is the emission really, if there's an instantaneous connection and exchange from one perspective? Where are the borders of the cause and effect?
Does cubic bent space curl back on to the cube to make negative space? Negative space is bent. What about it is bent? It's geometry is negative. Negative space is another dimension. We can get to other dimensions if we bend.
Larger colliders is the best idea he can come up with? Clown world
Slow your roll, we're here to listen
There is no singularity. Beyond the event horizon, there is simply reality going sideways into a new realm/region. The apparent impossibilities of the equations approaching the infinities is just to tell you that you have found a region of new directions.
It is at best "String Hypothesis".
Also your channel is literally my favorite, just had to fan girl for a second 😍 your voice is 🤤
String Theory was asked if it is dead - it doubled itself up, frizzled out its hair and stated “I’m a frayed knot!”
Just about my favorite Doctor.
Bad audio from JMG on this one; guest sounds fine
Love how confidently this man says that atheism is humans default mode when for 99% of our existence it was totally normal to believe in Gods/Spirits/Fae
He could have explained it better. I think he means that you have to be taught a religion. If you were never taught one you would be an atheist.
Oh i can't wait to watch thisn
8:37 err, so, I'm seriously confused here, a Planck length, being the smallest measurable distance... If a sphere (like an electron?) were a planck length in diametre, whats its radius?
It isn’t exactly the smallest measurable distance, it is the smallest meaningful distance, and basically a usefully construction based on constants of the universe.
You could think of Planck distance as the distance light travels in a unit of Planck time. Both are related to Plancks constant which has to do with an electrons angular momentum. Obviously light could cross half the distance in half the time, though.
So to answer your question if something has a diameter of 1 Planck length, its radius is half of a Planck length. Now can that scale be measured? I’m not clear on that but it’s well understood that a black hole couldn’t be less than one Planck length, apparently.
What if the minimum radius is one planck length?
Reductionist nhillism strikes mathematics again!
You can talk about distances less than the Planck length … but there’s no way to measure something that small, because it’s theoricized that a photon or object of something small enough to measure it would collapse into a black hole (one quantum of energy at that wavelength has a Schwatzchild radius greater than that length).
@@enterprisesoftwarearchitect Ah. Thanks for that. Kind of like the energy needed to pull apart quarks creates a quark?
Seems like maybe gravity is the sum of all the directionless magnetic pull of atoms? But you would probably be able to disprove something like that very easily
Guest was chill af lol
Yay longer episode thank you!
thanks!
Don’t all humans have a single black hole?
@@sn-vj5wx No
😳
My ex has one in her heart.
Not if you bleach it.
"i'm a hardcore empiricist" and right after "atheism is the default condition of humankind". I like that paranoia in the political rotten minds of new scientists

9:38 You can't beat..... gravity, John.
Let’s try fusioning up some pet Stars, first. 😬
Or it’s time for,
‘You were so preoccupied with if you *could*, you didn’t stop to think of you *should*.’
If you could make an apple sized black hole on earth. Could you stick your arm in it without the rest of you getting sucked in? Imagine feeling your arm getting spaghettified.
that sounds like Cunk
Seems like it would still only be the mass of an apple, but I have watched videos somewhere discussing microscopic black holes in the center of a star would keep growing. So dunno.
An apple sized black hole would weigh about 10 times more than the Earth, but it would only last a fraction of a second.
@_BLACKSTAR_ Where would all that material go when it didn't last anymore?
@@_BLACKSTAR_why would it last just a fraction of a second?
Ah, good episode, some things I like to chew on. The current viable string theories I know of are M-theory and K-theory. Both have 3+1 versions. Never got to talk to anyone about manifolds and entanglement. Though a lot jump to mass to like to gravity, energy is a good chunk people seem to miss. Einstein mass and energy warping/bending space. Awesome, he got some of the plank limits. The hawking radiation part is good also, though skipped blast wave for references to another part. Also photon pressure and such. A black hole a future event cloaked in warped time. Also the virtual infinity/singularity. They have solution sets, though few talk about degenerate matter and time distortion and relations relative to the core going out. Natural limits, even the universe as a natural limit. Which also gets to the differences between the big bang and the universe as a black hole 12.5 light years in diameter with error bars ticking in a way to go off/explode/gravity melting into energy. The coldest to hotest phase transition, nuclear burn with 100%, and can cause some censorship along with production. Neutrinos falling into a black hole and condensing into a unique fluid before degeneracy/melt. Also gets to big bang and fluidic neutrinos CNB (cosmic neutrino background ). Personally I don't think there is a graviton, but still know about few of the theories. To the accelerator part. Yes huge, but can be reduced some by intergration of gravitational wave detection. But your still looking at big. I hope they link some of the gravitational wave detectors for triangulation and mapping, even gravitational foam and the contribution to quantum foam if any.
Side note. Matter has a valley of stability and antimatter should have the same. The slight differences between them coming out with the heaviest elements, antielements. Also the recent report of Helium and anti Helium existing close together and not destroying each other
Another side note. TOE, GUT, string theories, Penrose twistor, and a few others are all variants of hidden variables. Bell even argued for hidden variables after his results.
Schrodinger time dependant equations, Hydrogen, Helium the easy ones. 3 body and up growing more complex as the atomic numbers go up.
The slit/ double slit reinterpreted some. 1/137, fine grain constant/orbital shell, meets Hisenberg limit showing a banded defraction pattern that traces back to the slit/slits. The tripple polarized light trick is dependant on angles, but there is room for an argument of harmonics for interference and also manifolds. It's kind of like the quantum collapse fuss that's not really a problem. More of which one do you want to use or argue.
Constraints. We can find them all over. Quantum foam/lumpiness/smoothness within the universe, Planck limits, limits on dark matter and energy and particle production and so on.
Time a persistent illusion. Typically light and particles used to describe it. T=0 no particles yet and a natural cutoff at the energy level needed to create this universe. R=0 and virtual infinity from being able to be pushed further into the future. 1 particle CERN has found that fits for a core type. If you really want to go there. The universes size when the last particle decays and the work done. Or even further and no photons even close enough to interact and red shifting and photons getting to a sudo ground state. And the size then. Also a slightly different perspective. A boltzmann time bomb with time flows that can differ, but all end up in the same larger timeline in the end. The weirdness of when looked at a way, the amount of time that can happen shrinks as decay happens from matter and the total amount of stuff made, decays away. ( argument: how much time does the last 2 particles have vs the universe in its state now. Also if you use the size of the space(photons,quantum foam) at points like the last particle decaying. If the universe is a natural cutoff regime or limit. Then you get a few ways to calculate a probabilistic universe over. Things like universe artifacting helping with things like plains.
55:55 lol magic numbers reminds me of magic shell modeling, and islands of stability theories. 57:37 One for the quantum multiverse/manyworlds was quantum computers along with CERN search for dimensionality. There was a site from D-wave people called hack the multiverse about programming quantum computers. Showing the interests for some people even back then. Besides those move away from the shared reality we all exist in.
1:03:25 I love SETI, but wish it was expanded some. If alien is fleeting short sparks for intelligence and intelligent species lead to A.G.I. and then A.S.I.. That gives filters and techno signatures to look for. In a way it gets back to constraints and limits of types. I don't think they would be here in biological at first.
But if you want to get into crazy WTF possibility. Memetic imprinting over time. Welcome to wonderland of science and mathematics. ALICE detector and almost perfect fluidity ( H3 superfluidity boojum) and the white rabbit timing ToF. O.S. Root and trees and libraries. Tweedle sets and quantum cats and snark graph theory and color theories. CERN the looking glass into wonderland. Alice strings and Alice rings and hedgehogs. Chemistry mirror, Cheshire molecules, the particle zoo and table of elements and isotopes.
1:17:56 When technology becomes indistinguishable from magic.
1:20:09 Humans are a highly delusional species. The internet is part of the proof of that.
1:21:40 Constructive. Gravitational wave triangulation, improved neutrino detection, the neutrino floor, CNB mapping. Antimatter valley of stability mapping.
1:23:45 Question. Can you make a metamaterial bubble? Casimir effect should link to dark energy and matter. ( constraints on such ). Part depending on framing/how it's framed. Also have they tried to make a metamaterial for photon wells or neutron lensing?
Back to UAP. Intelligent species will want to send Von Neumann probes for networking back and bioprinting along with DNA/RNA printing and atomic printing. Data and through put.
Why go looking for aliens when humans are already so alien from each other?
Great episode. Keep up the good work.
Equally great comment!
Jesus Christ bro, start your own podcast
@X85283 Not sure what got to you about posting the coment. I do seem to offend religious though. Christians got me locked out of Facebook and Twitter/X is locked also. No need for a podcast. Especially with only a cell phone lol. It would have been nice to have a grouping to talk with on parts, but A.I. is improving fast enough and then A.I. will be the better choice and no need for humans after, or a small select grouping like before. If you want to talk a point. Pick one and dislike enough so I and other people know which version/variant if a few paths or theories exist for the topic/point. To many talk past each other and not always talking about the same variant/thing. That's why I like this channel. They talk constructively and good science theories.
I did not know the term String Theory come from an Alternate model of mathematically understandable electron. Made of wicked small strings in some sort of perpetual motion and perhaps in some form of relating to all electrons state of dimensional perspective and it is impossible to get these string theorists to back down on any ground because they have answers for everything.
It's okay to believe in God and love science.
I don't know if this something we can observe more than something we're a part of.
Makes a die hard argument to prove how science has nothing to do with belief because of "evidence" @1:01:50 proceeds to state that there are lots of unexplained things in science @1:04:35.
I hope a black hole never gets any closer than Uranus.
Thanks for the great content, John!

solution to fermi paradox. every alien planet destroyed itself with a black hole 😮
I've heard this before when physicists from Cern say that microscopic black holes are perfectly safe and will evaporate immediately due to Hawking radiation. They are probably right in their theories, but it is still just theories. If they are wrong, it could be an explanation for the Fermi paradox, as most intelligent beings out there might have made the same mistake and destroyed themselves. When they exploded the first atomic bomb, they feared that the bomb could create a fusion reaction in the atmosphere that could wipe out all life on Earth. They exploded the bomb even though they were still unsure if this could happen. When you start experiments that theoretically can wipe out all life on Earth, you should be 100 percent sure that it is not dangerous, 99.99999 percent certainty is no longer good enough.
Gravity is a force? Is it not an effect of curved space time?
Poor Dr Beacham is in for some terrible ontological shock when he discovers The Telepathy Tapes :)
Tell that to James Randi.
@@drumhed Randi's debunking efforts have been exposed as rigged.
Listening to these two talk about "Beautiful math" in theories is very ironic, when it is exactly the problem in particle physics and cosmology., "If you ask a particke physicist if he wants a new and bigger accelerator, he will say yes" I think i heard Sabine Hossenfelder say that once.
Of course you did.
At one time, whether or not you could "understand" string theory was deemed a measurement of your intelligence. Now, it appears to perhaps not even exist. I wonder what non-existent concept is beeing deemed the new meause of intelligence
All that I really know about the outside world is relayed to me though my electrical connections.
Wow Kendrick is the GOAT even on Event Horizon.
Phantasies of Physico-phallacies.
The are pictures and video taken with phones......unfortunately phones were never designed to take images of fast moving objects in the sky. So you end up with video with just a blurry object streaking past in a fraction of a second or an object in frame with nothing around it to compare speed or size
Can we evtl. first build a Deathstar?!
It's not falsifiable and it's not a theory- hypothesis at best.
It would have been so easy if i could just say the universe is made up of a bunch of 10 dimensional strings but sadly its just not that simple
This guy puts the HYPER back in to hyperdimensional... And here I though I was gonna knock out fast. But I like him, ya?
1:29:50 I don't know about the planet itself being evil, John...lol...But it sure as heck isn't boring, either... 🙂🐕🐕
