    I really dig Brian Greene’s style. He is very good at reeling in the discussion and keeping things focused, then translating complex ideas into intuitive analogies. Some people say he interrupts too much but I disagree, without him the discussion would spiral into confusion for the average viewer. I feel like he gives the guests plenty of room to speak before offering his translations. He would be an incredible teacher.

    Brian Greene does it again. He pretends to be the one in the panel of experts who does get it in his humble way so we can all feel better about being part of the subject and then he transposes everything the panel members say into something we can all understand. He can distill all of it for us. He has the unique ability to be the frame that holds the window we are trying to look through. I am no scientist nor am I an expert but Mr. Greene allows me in particular to enjoy being curious about all of this.

    Mark Van Raamsdonk is a brilliant physicist. His idea of unifying classical physics and quantum physics via Susskind's and 't Hooft's holography, Einsteinian classical gravity and Einsteinian quantum entanglement to explain the structure of spacetime is the biggest leap forward in this area since the establishment of QED in the 1950s. No wonder Greene expressed his feeling of awe and applauded this work. Van Raamsdonk is a Nobel caliber physicist.

      Exactly Brian forget to mention that Louis de Broglie predicted all of this in 1923. He PREDICTED quantum diffraction waves as quantum nonlocality and he explained WHY it was happening. Not Max Born. So Now they come back to add in relativity. But de Broglie already had relativity in the model. haha. Hilarious. Astrophysicist Paul S. Wesson acknowledged that de Broglie had figured it out - and so Wesson realized the correct model. He didn't get the credit though - oh well. Also B.G. Sidharth should have got the Nobel prize - and he figured all this out. Even Fred Alan Wolf in his SpaceTime and Beyond book - predicted the same model.

      I agree, that is amazing! And I've been so into Susskind, and that Raphael something guy. Then this guy is next level. That was a mind blow. Ever heard of a book called The Universe of the Mind? It traces the history of the mathematics and physics in a very 'purely the ideas' way. My point being, it definitely needs to be updated with this concept.

      41:20-45:50 (Gerard 't Hooft) and 1:15:15-1:15:20 (Mark Van Raamsdonk) : Cannot agree more ..., really appreciate their humbleness compared to most others .... Despite all the hype and at times the fake exaggeration going around / being propagated around by various media too, we got to accept the fact that we are still very much at the infancy, or at most at the level of adolescence, in terms of comprehensively understanding these highly complex systems/phenomena. Modern Science and Quantum Mechanics as part of it may be the best option we've got at this stage, true, still it remains very much immature to cover these aspects in sufficient detail which are beyond our physical/empirical reach too more often than not. Be it Classical Science/Physics or Quantum Theory/Mechanics, all these are just models we have developed with our pretty limited human perception to understand these natural systems/phenomena which may have existed for trillions of trillions of years (or even longer ...). To put things into perspective, we may not have lived at least even 50, 000 years as of now as a (developed) human civilization, our so-called Modern Science may not have any of its roots beyond 5000-10000 years, the majority of our Classical Science/Physics have been developed over the limited time span of last 500 years, our study of Quantum Mechanics has a history of less than 100 years; nothing but an infinitesimal(s) comparatively !.... It may be true that these are the best options we have got at the moment, accepted, but that doesn't mean that these are accurate enough and we are in a position to fully explain all these complex systems/phenomena by using them. Yes, we may keep improving on our understanding/knowledge and get closer to the reality/truth by refining these quite primitive/immature models we've got at the moment, still we might never be able to get to the 100% objective reality/truth ever to interpret all these naturally-occurred highly complex systems/phenomena perfectly .... The (objective) reality/truth is certainly more complex than most of us can even imagine let alone understand, sometimes it may be stranger/weirder than even the strangest/weirdest thing which we may be able to imagine/grasp/understand with the limited system of perception we've been given by nature .... Yes, we humans stand head and shoulders above all other species here (on earth) in terms of intelligence (as per our understanding and definition of it ...) and all our achievements too, still we're only one part of nature and not vice versa, so the human evolution has not given us everything despite how remarkable it seems comparatively .... So we got to be pretty careful/skeptical in interpreting the observations based on our limited, at times oversimplified too, perception/argumentation/knowledge .... Yes, we may improve over time quite certainly and get closer to perceiving/understanding the (objective) reality/truth, yet we still got to keep in mind the fact that we may get only closer but not quite reach there ever .....

Ive just read the opinions of about 20 people that are all complete strangers from different walks of life and at the end i have different perspectives then when i started, even if it wasn't the same as their idea because now i can compare so many perspectives which reveals new ones always! It fascinates me to imagine what knowledge we will have uncovered in hundreds of years if we are here now, for a long time nobody thought of mobile phones but the perspective of wanting to communicate with another creature that you cannt see, smell or feel, resulted in people eventually experimenting on how to do that.

      QUESTION:
      When it comes to quantum entanglement, do the two particles measured have to be from the same source or are they measuring two random particles? If they come from the same source do they have to leave the same source at precisely the same time? How do the particles end up in different locations? How is this practicable experiment carried out in the the real world?

      NO it was not Max Born! Louis de Broglie PREDICTED the waves in 1923 - he was the one who set that electrons would exhibit diffraction waves because of his Law of Phase Harmony model of quantum relativity. Schroedinger dropped the relativity and suddenly people are seriously confused and lie about the origins of quantum physics - saying it was Max Born who explained what the waves are. Holy smokes! The lies continue!!

      The ancients knew this was true due to noncommutative phase of music, as Alain Connes discovered. So 1 is not a number because 2/3 and 3/2 are noncommutative as infinite two-dimensional time-frequency information that constructs the illusion of 3D space as a "zero point." So Gerard t'Hooft is correct - calling it a moebius strip. It was known as the Tai Chi or the Tetraktys or the three gunas of India.

    Brian Greene is da man -- the adult equivalent of Bill Nye the Science Guy. I am terminally math-impaired, yet deeply interested in both relativity's time/space counterintuitions, and quantum mechanics' weirdnesses; Greene seems to intuit workarounds for mathlexics like me, so that while I can't "math" it, I can indeed "picture" it.
    And his moderation of this assemblage of heavyweights was, in addition to being pitch perfect, also a demonstration of his grasp of the cutting-edge boundaries of physics in general. "They also serve who stand and wait -- and moderate."

    When it comes to quantum entanglement, the experiments I ask the question how much time passes for light, we see the light zipping around the experiment, but from the point of view of the light is leaves and arrives at the same time. The way it’s packaged at the beginning of its journey is how it will be unpacked at the end, and the entanglement is formed at its origin.

      @Roger Loquitur The problems with quantum mechanics And string theory and general relativity
      As we all know quantum mechanics is the most accurate out of all quantum mechanics deals with the minute microscopic The building box of everything in the entire universe had a quantum level new discoveries come from quantum mechanics the problem is once you scale up into planets universe is galaxies the area of general relativity Quantum mechanics does not work for everyone tends to forget is like a nuclear bomb it starts off one at a matter of time until you get a chain reaction which has immense power quantum mechanics can be scaled up because in the early universe there was nothing but noble gases hydrogen which then click together collisions and static electricity like lightning to create planets over millions of years through extreme heat and pressure in a constant bombardment of raw materials under multi Red hot material causing more chemical reactions more acids like in a car battery static charges chemical reactions causing runaway effects which we cannot replicate quantum mechanics is the machine that creates item General relativity is the consequence cause and affect like in a guitar the person playing the guitar is quantum mechanics striking the code is string theory how it vibrates and the sound it causes which a third party he is his general relativity
      Let’s break it down we know that Adams exist we know that electrons exist we know that particles exist quotes and so on let’s say you were a Quartz which lives inside of an atom you know everything there is to know about courts you know nothing about the item let me know do you know anything about the electron Lebanon do you know about other atoms that make other molecules you are a part of the hydrogen group you know nothing about any other bass material let me know when you would know about the whole body of what you are made of let’s say you were part of the kettle you don’t know anything about a kettle and used to boil water to make a coffee let me know in the human that is making the coffee letter known about the planet you live on that known about that you are suspended in space inside of the vacuum part of of a galaxy and that there is the sun moons other planets and other galaxies in a far far away land those are the dimensions
      In conclusion I think that there is the subatomic dimension governed by atoms molecules electrons quartz particles and so on
      The next dimension is solid dimension meaning a solid object be it a T kettle to heat water and make coffee beans rocks dirt water oxygen anything solid but not living
      The next dimension is for the conscious living item being that they are almost to realms of this I would say the living tree and the living human being self-aware
      The next dimension is the missing dimension
      The next dimension would be time its self
      Where they say length width and depth are all the same thing they are not dimensions the length of a stick is still a stick you have not changed your profile your fuel have you neither have you changed your field of perception the same can be said with width depth is the same thing you have not altered your perception you’re still on the same plane meaning you could run 100 km in one way you’re still on earth you might be in a different location but you still on the same planet whips exactly the same thing that exactly the same thing you have not changed your field of you you’re still on the same planet

      All I gotta say is this the double slit experiment works exactly the same way radar was discovered and modified and electron is thrown through a chamber goes past a cavity creating microwaves which then get deflected out in a wave pattern creating radar as we know it it is called a magnetron radar that we still news to this day‘s most scientists would not know this because it is a very secretive and you gotta be in it to know what I say the double slit experiment is creating the same effects as a magnetron radar very easy to test but there’s a lot of resistance yeah only difference between the double slit experiment in a magnetron is that the electron continues on its path opposite the cavity which is creating the magnetic wave which we news as radar the electron gets recycled back through and is a feedback loop double seed experiment doesn’t the magnetic disturbance is going in the same direction as the electron your only difference between the two so if there was a magnetic disturbance Creating a radar affect in the same direction of the electron itself it would be carried on the wave and pushed around which opens up the world to a lot more possibilities if we can push and electron we can do a lot of different things hence why there is a lot of resistance I can say this because I am in the field of discussion
      Think about it if any electron in the double slit experiment demonstrates that we can push electrons pause for a second think about that

      think of the big bang. something can not come from nothing. so when you see the universe as we humans tend to showcase it like a tube. then the big bang is in one end. but behind it. is the universe in reverse. without the multiverse theory involved. a 2 side universe. like black & white holes. although we havent really seen a white hole yet. but in theory they do exist. its truly an advantage if youre into music to understand. because as a dJ i always have 2 thoughts one for each deck. think of a blackhole like this too. like a battery. you got a plus and a minus. but the battery in the middle is the wormhole that connects the 2. or reject it. always 2 options. or 2 solutions. did you never get this told in life? you can choose to do everything in 2 ways. well i hope i made it more understandable . its basically why humans live wrong . because we tend to make all the easy and wrong choices. but life is not meant to be easy. this is why we wont survive in space without a suit. in such a hostile environment, you cant expect it to be easy to understand either. look beyond humans. that could help too. think like an alien even it sounds bizarre. but it does make it more easy to understand these things. just my bid on making it more easy for more people to grasp. didnt mean to offend or anything. but humans are infact pretty dumb. we are below being kids in space. we are like a sand grain trying to understand everything in the entire universe. search multiverse zoom and watch the video that begins with a firefly. then you know what i mean i think. good hunting :)

He can distill all of it for us. He has the unique ability to be the frame that holds the window we are trying to look through.

I mean how could I call myself a physicist if I didn’t know all there was to know about such an important subject. So over the past five years I spent a lot of time reading everything I could find online about QM.
    I read about what the most brilliant scientists had to say, from Einstein’s comment “God doesn’t play dice” to Schroedinger’s schizophrenic cat. I read about the electron double slit experiment which gives wildly different results depending on whether the outcome is being measured or not. Some scientists even claim that just being seen by a human observer causes the outcome to switch. Then I read about Richard Feynman’s chromo electrodynamics many-path formulation where every electron has an equal probability of going in any direction . . . until a measurement chooses the observed path.
    The credibility was stretched even further when I read that Murray Gel-man proposed that every particle was made up of even smaller components called quarks (which always occur in threes and are somehow part of ‘The Eight-Fold Way’); that David Dennison claimed that electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, and just about every other atomic particle not only had spin (up or down), and Gel-Mann’s quarks came in three designer colors; red, blue and green. And I haven’t even brought up quantum entanglement; what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.”
    I finally realized that there was no way I would ever understand it all and fretted about this until I came across the words by Richard Feynman: “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. If you think you understand quantum mechanics, then you don’t.” None of the “experts” really understood it either. I could go back to claiming I was a physicist!
    But how could such situation happen? Well, each of the experts developed their own pet theory, but none of the hypothetical frameworks could hold together - be consistent with what we knew for sure. So the creative scientists invented whatever it took to make their theory work. Sometimes it was new (but unobserved) particles like quarks, or immeasurable properties they called spin, color, or an infinite number of multiple paths.
    So my final conclusion was that quantum physics/mechanics is like the story of the king’s new clothes. Every scientist saw what they wanted to see, while the truth of it all was that the king was really naked.

    On the subject of parallel universes, for a better understanding, I like to think of time as a superposition itself. Besides videos and photographs (which serve as time measurements), we can never be truly sure about the past or the future. Only the exact moment in time, as we experience it, delivers us the current state of it.
    In this way, parallel universes might not be so odd after all, as we experience only this moment from both 'quantum fields.' The rest is all plausible.

    The particle is "here and there" whilst also being "here or there" because of the simulation
    It's just the way the code is written so the program runs seamlessly; regardless of whether you're observing the particle or not.

    At 27.35 Brian Greene talks about the moment when you actually do the experiment and you find the electron being here or here or here.
    The Question
    no1 is: How do you find the electron being here or here?[don't you actually find traces of places it's been?]
    no2: what method its used to see where the electron has been.. is it a mathematical equation or a physical observation before and after?

    This is exactly what I needed on a Sunday afternoon. So grateful to be able to understand what was discussed and appreciate the dedication of physicists through the years. The particalization of the wave is meant to prohibit the wave of connectivity with each other and our enviroment, which is how we evolved, as a social specjes This connection with everyone is harmonious and the introduction of the "ego" and the concept of "I", rather than, "we", prohibits this connection we've evolved with and limits us and allows us to be managed. When you work and earn money, that is the particalization of the wave. The digitization of the experience. The multidimensional expressed in a foreign, two dimensional "binary" code representation of consciousness and connectedness is suppressed by division, competition, concepts of "race", "us vs them",(such behavior perhaps served an evolutionary purpose and avoided introducing foreign pathogens to various tribes?), but they even describe it in the Book of Genesis. The serpent is "self awareness", and the concept of, "All this "we", what about "me?", is introduced and suddenly then they need clothes, Cain kills Able, everyone got wicked and started polluting the genetic purity of Homosapiens and Noah built his ark and God flushes the wicked away with the flood, and the rest is experienced as an invisible servitude burdened by foreign concepts and ideas perpetrated upon humanity as a means of control and the constant push to impose the digitization of our analog consciousness.

    A couple of years ago I tried a homemade double slit experiment. I used a cheap laser pointer and kitchen aluminum foil. I used a razor blade and a magnifying glass to cut the two slits as close to each other as I could.
    At times I definitely saw more than two extremely faint stripes on the wall.

      As Hoof (and Whaley)indicated , entangled particles are only produced when two particles have initially been brought into intimate contact with one another . To ignore that, and simply accept the "spookiness" of QM entanglement mathematics as applied to those particles -- after they have then been separated --- looks a little blinkered .

    Maybe it’s just my naïvety, but the idea that electrons are only in one place once we observe them says to me that our consciousness creates reality. In my mind, it reinforces the idea that the universe is filled with endless possibilities until we experience it for ourselves, at which point all of the other possibilities dissipate and all we’re left with is what is actually happening-what we call “reality.”

      You're looking at it through a much more philosophical lens that the likes of George Berkeley might agree with you on. He put for the argument of Subjective Idealism which essentially takes a much more spiritual/mind oriented approach to describing reality. He actually makes his case in a famous argument between two ideologies called "Hylas VS Philonous" where he rationalizes empiricism to it's logical conclusion that there is no such thing as physical matter. There are only properties of the mind. I really enjoy this perspective of reality and think it's worth reading into if you're interested at all!

      Which is the same as them not existing at all - if there is a possibility that is never experienced, then that possibility may as well not exist.
      To me, the whole theory falls apart by not defining what constitutes an 'observer'. Without that, the rest of it is meaningless.
