    I am finishing my PhD in physics in a few weeks. It has been several years since I saw or read any good pop science/physics material. I blamed that on the fact I might not be the target audience, since I already know the subjects. But this show proved me wrong! This is absolutely excellent. It actually tackles modern physics instead of "modern" from 150 years ago, as is usually the case. Clear explanations, good analogies, without compromising a lot. If anyone reading this is considering going into physics consider yourself lucky, because my first contact with quantum field theory was reading Peskin and Schroeder's An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory. A good book only if you already know QFT, which is never a good thing for anything that starts with "an introduction". What I'm saying is, this is good pop sci. It would have helped me a few years ago, definitely.

      Wow!! I am so happy to hear that being said by an actual physicist. Also, I felt like i should mention this even though it wont be of any use to you: the MITOpencourse channel on TH-cam has a really awesome lecture series called 'Quantum Entanglement' by Prof. Leonard Susskind. Anyone who wants to start with QFT should go through that lecture series first. Its very well done.

    • @GinthianShield
      @GinthianShield 6 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      The String Theorists are Ok because we haven't found a way to prove or disprove anything in the theory. It would have been great to disprove String Theory, but I thought that the biggest problem with String Theory is we can't figure out an experiment that would test the Theory.

    • @needmorespaceformyna
      @needmorespaceformyna 6 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      The problem with String Theory is that it isn't "one theory". It's an mathematical attempt to describe all the fundamental particles as 1 dimensional strings. These strings can then vibrate in different ways, corresponding with the fundamental particles and interact accordingly. So on "larger scales", ie the scale of a proton, a string looks just like the fundamental particles we are used to. On the smallest scale it would act as these strings. There are many mathematical ways you could achieve this, over the years they narrowed it down to the consistent ones. Then they managed to mathematically unify those theories under what is now called M Theory. Why all that effort? Well, String Theory describes gravity as a particle, making it a potential unified grand theory. But, here comes the problem, String Theory is "background independent". It only tells us what a graviton would look like, if it would exist at a given energy level. A unified theory would have to do more than that. It would have to relate gravity to the other forces, not just tell us what it looks like.

    • @amcghie7
      @amcghie7 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Ginthian Shield - what is the point in String Theory if it cannot be tested? To me, unfalsifiable hypotheses are basically worthless to science, especially if you cannot apply the scientific method to it, rather its more just a mathematical philosophy.
      (A little off topic but) Freud is a really good example of this in psychology, where literally all his work is just trying to describe why the mind behaves the way it does, by first observing, and then forming conclusions from that. There is no proper way to prove his work right or wrong so should we actually let it hold any merit until we can find proofs for it?

      I once had a dream that Beavis was giving a lecture on Hilbert-space and higher dimensional metrics and in the context of the dream, he was the greatest intellect in the universe, and he was talking about Hilbert-space so as to accomplish something amazing, like backwards time travel so as to undo an event and save the universe. But he still talked like Beavis and laughed in the characteristic way. I like to think that was the true Beavis, that the dumb one in the Beavis and Butthead show was his dumber counterpart in another universe.

  • @PavlosPapageorgiou

    Null results are the best! Science works by falsification, and null results rule out huge chucks of theory-space greatly advancing our certainty. The Eötvös experiment, Michelson-Morley, and the double slit experiment were all intensely eciting because they let us put narrower constraints on the ways the universe can behave.

    Watching this great backlog of content, this one is the best episode yet, imho. This null result really matters and sends many theories into “less likely” categories of possible answers. Also, String Theory again is both ‘safe for now’ and a null result. Imho, being a dedicated hard working fervent string theorist requires a significant level of faith, with so many null results which *could* have been spectacular empirical results otherwise.

      Negative mass could make the gravity self-interesting. Negative mass repels while positive mass attracts gravitionally. Its different then negative and positive charges because opposites don't attract but that could still produce some interesting outcomes. Equal positive and negative mass objects would exert equal positive and negative gravity and remain equidistant from each other.

    Thanks Matt, great episode as usual! One thing that surprised me about GW170817 was how identical the travel speed was between the gravitational wave and the gamma ray burst. I would have expected the gamma rays to arrive significantly later than the gw. Surely in 40Mpc of traveled space there must have been very low density sporadic concentrations of matter or dark matter, leading to a refractive index less than c. Is there such a thing as a refractive index for gravitation waves, identical with that of electromagnetic waves?

    Is it okay for gravity to travel "pretty much" (11:12) the speed of light? Gravitational waves arriving 1.7s sooner than light itself seems like it might be a big deal. Is it just that light was slowed down on the way over by gases in its path whereas gravitational waves aren't slowed down by anything and so traveled at the speed of light in a vacuum?
    A fun way to think about it is that the wave of light was over 500,000km away from Earth by the time the gravitational wave had already reached us.

    I thought the higgs boson was supposed to explain gravity, either by being the force carrier or the catalyst for the emerging property of gravity. Higgs gives matter mass, mass compresses/stretches space and we observe it as gravity. Gravity just seems to simply be an emerging property of space being compressed. So confuzzzed :S I'm just glad there are people smart enough on our little ball to slowly figure this out.

      In physics, force is basically anything that breaks law of inertia. If object diverges from inertial motion, it is by definition being acted upon by a force. Some forces are just a matter of perspective and go away when you pick the right frame of reference (for example, centrifugal force) and others don't.

      @raredrop6872 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      For more detailed explanation. Because gravity and other forces are attractive, gravitational energy is negative: one has to do work to separate a gravitational bound system, such as earth and moon. This negative energy can balance the positive energy needed to create a matter, but it's not quiet as simple. The negative gravitational energy of the earth, for example, is less than a billionth of the positive energy of the matter particles the made is made of. A body such as a star will have more negative energy, and the smaller it is(the closer the different parts of it are to each other), the greater the gravitational energy will be. Buy before it can become greater than the positive energy of the matter, the star will collapse to a black hole, and black holes have positive energy.
      That's why empty space is stable! Bodies such as stars or black holes cannot just appear from nothing. But a whole universe can. =)

I will say that I have a hard time believing gravity is a force like the others are forces. The geometric description is just so elegant. I get that it clashes with quantum mechanics, but I really don't think we're going to find a "graviton".
    I do have a question though. In Einstein's description of gravity, as I understand it, gravity isn't a force but rather a consequence of inertial movement along a geodesic through curved spacetime. How does this jive with the description of the arrow of time and its relationship with entropy? I never really see gravity and entropy discussed at the same time, even though they're both some of the only concepts that rely on a concept of time, as far as I know. Maybe I'm asking a nonsensical question, but it was a thought I had.

      Entropy is simplest understood as "chaos". Physicists termed it "entropy" in dissertations about Order and Chaos in Systems regarding Thermodynamics, so that's probably the subject you'd find most helpful...
      Basically, as Time progresses "forward" entropy generally increases... (Simplified Conceptual) Think of your system like building a house. The system will naturally "settle" into a certain order as you build, due to equilibrium. (This is the short-cut explanation for why the solar system and the Milky Way generally resemble discs instead of wonky spheroids)... BUT left to itself, the house will start to corrupt and fall apart eventually... as entropy enters. (Basically, everything systemically put together, falls apart sooner or later.)
      I'm willing to go out on the limb and quietly suggest Time as three dimensions, being logically the required minimals for interlacing so thoroughly with three-dimensional space to give us the universe as we understand it. Time works everywhere.
      What's tougher to "wrap your head around" (still baking my noodle years into it) is that we (humans) can't yet measure time the way we can measure space... You can take a ruler or tape-measure that's "theoretically" long enough, and measure anything spacially. It's so many yards, feet, or meters (etc) long, tall, and wide... three spacial dimensions.
      BUT even a clock or a specialized radiological decay counter doesn't measure Time. It's only feasible (so far) to measure the RESULTS of Time Passing... like the seconds measure "ticks" of gears working inside an old pocket watch or mechanical clock... the "oscillations" of a crystal in a newer digital time-piece... even the particles streaming out of a specific sample of specific purity of radioactive material decaying at a known rate ONLY ever measure the RESULTS of time passing.
      We can't technologically quantify how FAR in time it will be when the sun next sets a direct beam of light through a certain window in your house (for instance) from exactly the moment I type this period.
      That doesn't stop it being a dimension, and the same as space, it's more or less just "sitting there" while we pass through it. In fact, it doesn't stop us seeing "results" no matter what "hypothetical vector" we take in passing through it... since we only measure results of that passing.
      AND super-gravity, from say... ultimately dense objects, can really F*** things up and make them difficult to understand...
      but I'm still just working on it.
      I don't think we're going to find "gravitons" either. I have a suspicion (lately) that gravity is kind of a consequence of existing or "expressing" in any material sense. SO whenever particles show mass, they show gravity... just on such an infinitesimal level that we struggle to measure, quantify, or factor it into work. BUT that's just more theory, too. ;o)

      @@wellrose17 Okay... bear with me... and I'll try to get it so you understand it.
      Essentially, a "dimension" is a measureable linear field.
      In studying dimensions, we use "lines" to represent dimensions... so we have something visual to diagram and measure... and quantify with numbers.
      So 2D or 2-Dimensional means two linear measureable fields, and we'd represent that as two lines crossing at right angles (usually)...
      A 2D object then, is a flat plane... like a piece of paper...
      Somewhere here, it's important to point out that in Physics (especially Astro Physics) we tend to assume everyone knows that dimensions and planes are generally considered "infinite" unless otherwise specified. It doesn't always look that way in diagrams and pictures, but we're "supposed to" put little arrows at the ends of lines to indicate the intention, sort of a symbol of "infinite in that direction"...without having to write it out or draw lines all the way across everything else. It just avoids clutter. BUT assuming most of us already know that, some folks forego the arrows for neatness and move on.
      3D or 3-Dimensional means we now include a third line intersecting with the original two, also at a right angle (usually) to both of them, and is conventionally going to indicate space around you in general terms...
      Normally, the base three dimensions are Height (up and down, vertically), Width (sideways, left and right), and Depth (forward and backward).
      Those three spacial dimensions can be measured easily with a measuring tape... say in inches, centimeters, miles, kilometers, Astronomical Units, etc...

      Starting to do the same eye rolling. Every test we have done has shown Gravity is an Effect, a measurement of the curvature of SpaceTime and thus not required to be a force or be limited to a minimum size like in Quantum Mechanics. In Relativity the effect of gravity can reach infinity in a singularity thus can be infinitively small. As Mat said gravity not being a force would make many physics people sad. This probably includes him. In other video he covers majority of physics people don't think the Big Bang started with a Singularity anymore. The reason many physics people don't believe in a singularity is they need Gravity to be a force for current work in Quantum Mechanics to reach the truth. They also state Gravity causing Singularities violates Quantum Mechanics where all objects have a minimum size they cannot get smaller than. But actual data keeps showing Relativity is true and thus Singularity possible.
      The Bias towards Gravity as a Force shows in the current terms used. Dark Matter which actually includes solutions that have no matter involved and thus should be named something like Unexplained Gravitational Effects in Galaxies. Dark Energy with include solutions that don't involve energy when it is better described as, Unexplained reason for observed increasing rate of expansion in the Universe. Sort of understand the short hand as the better description is wordy but it's still a misleading lie in effect.
      I think there is a bit of a Bias against Deism as you can't rule out Deism if the Big Bang is a singularity does not mean Deism is true eather. Claims that the Big Bang proves there is a God unset some even though the Big Bang does not prove an existence. But an infinite age ever looping Universe to some rules out the action of a God or the Universe having a intelligence. I think the question did something start all of this is still valid then though.

It actually goes in accordance to the experiments, the entire universe would get into a superfluid medium and probably explode into another Big Bang and so on.

      Depends on what type of dimensions are referred to. String theory extra dimensions are not rolled out for the reason he gave in short they are small. Extra Large everywhere dimensions were ruled out. This is for the meaning of dimension referring to things that effect things we observe like Length and Time, things we use to describe what we can observe. Dimensions confusingly is also used to refer to things that are not in normal Space/Time in example Hyperspace ideas or spiritual ideas. This data said nothing about those as this result could not test those ideas.

      such gravity leaks are considered impossible on the macroscale, but possible on the microscale... so when we talk about very small particles and their actual real weight are still impossible to detect, and the stability of matter would get weaker as we go smaller... particles would sweep in and out of existence by teleporting through extra-dimensions. There we could detect such chaotic and as predicted in many theories we could prove the existence of these dimensions through the mathematical description of an observed behavior that is like a shadow of extra dimensions in this one and can be detected with much necessary precision as to be scientifically proven.

      THE THEORETICAL, TOP DOWN, CLEAR, SIMPLE, AND BALANCED MATHEMATICAL PROOF OF THE FACT THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA OF NECESSITY:
      Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Very importantly, outer “space” involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. NOW, carefully consider what is THE SUN; AS it does (and it must) exist in both time AND SPACE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky !!!
      E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy !!!!
      Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent WITH/AS what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Carefully consider what is THE MAN who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE !!! ACCORDINGLY, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The sky is blue, AND THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE !!! Carefully consider what is THE EYE. GREAT. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy.
      BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This CLEARLY explains the cosmological redshift AND the black hole(s) !!! AGAIN, gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 is CLEARLY F=ma IN BALANCE !!!! Think QUANTUM GRAVITY !!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! Great.

    Question: Could the possible reason for the Zero extra dimensions be due to the fact that our measurements and the location of the event lie at the same point (or very close) in that 4th dimension? I.e. if us and the merger happen at the same point in the 4th dimension, the energy dissipation to that dimension would be negligible and therefore might look like no extra dimensions to us (as 3+1 dimensional observer).

      Well the effects of that extra dimension would have also shown up relating to the amount the universe is expanding between us and the event so they couldn't have been too close, ie because there is hubble constant expansion and the event happened in another galaxy.

      The decrease of intensity is proportional to 1/D^k, with D being the distance to the source and k being the number of dimensions wherein the impulse is spreading out.
      Since the merger happened in a galaxy far, far away (140 million light-years to be precise), that decrease in intensity should be well measurable, regardless of how long it took the impulse to cover that distance, as its speed does not affect how it spreads out.

It only ever goes in that direction (as far as we currently understand it) because entropy cannot currently be reversed, to the best of our knowledge.

      The reason you get the image of the hypercube turning itself inside out is because you're rotating it in all 4 dimensions. Here he's only rotating the hypercube in 2 dimensions.
      Think about how you can rotate a cube in 2 dimensions, and then how you can rotate the cube in 3 dimensions. You can do the same rotations with a hypercube and it would have the same rotational appearance as the cube. But when you rotate it in 4 dimensions, you see it as turning inside out.

      4D objects rotate in all the same ways as 3D ones, plus another axis. The only way to demonstrate that axis of rotation is that sort of inside-out motion. A cube can rotate the same way as a square on a piece of paper, but the cube can additionally rotate in a way that the square can't. The shadow of a cube rotating on the piece of paper looks like the rotating square, but the cube rotating in the other way will look like a wierd, inside-out-y "hyper-square" rotation.

Pick up an object and put it in front of a flash light so that you have it's shadow on the wall. That is a 3D object projected into 2D representation, try rotating it in various directions. Even something as simple as a cube produces a remarkable variety of projections in lower dimensional space.
