    For the first time in 4 decades, physicists have found a new approach to solving a problem which is almost a century old: How to combine quantum physics with gravity. I told you about this new approach, called “Postquantum Gravity” from Johnathan Oppenheim briefly before Christmas. He and his collaborators are now saying that their idea also explains dark matter and dark energy.
    Paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2402.19459

      If wormholes were real wouldn't the gravity at One end the other. And the wormhole would be unstable and close before much light could get through and in what direction. But the paths of gravitational bodies would be altered. So we would see areas of gravity linked stronger then would be otherwise

    Your admission that you might be incorrect is one of the reasons I love you so much, Sabine. You are truly one of the most excellent presenters I have ever encountered, and I am 72 years old so I have seen a few.
    This is one of the few situations in which I disagree with you. It seems to me that adding a small amount of randomness is exactly what is needed to stabilize the equations of general relativity. I am really excited to see how this new effort works out and am looking forward very much to the next video on this topic. I understand your objection about needing to find a non-linear component to be added; I suspect this will arise when the combined effects of quantum mechanics and gravity in a higher order are added together.

  • @peterhall6656
    @peterhall6656 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    It is about 50 years since I did GR. This critique makes high level sense. There is a saying by German mathematician Kurt Mahler that one cannot get "gehaktes Rindfleisch" ( ie minced meat) from a meatgrinder unless one has put some meat in the grinder. Thus paying homage to this proposition in all its isomorphic forms, if you have a basically non-linear theory you will need a non-linear grinder. However, there are exceptions at a sort of fundamental level (I suspect I am channeling Stephen Wolfram) and that is the interesting thing. I'm too old and lacking in talent to do it but Oppenheim looks like he has had a red hot go. Who knows there may be some bat squeak of insight that fires up someone to bring it all together.

    In 2018, a research paper already considered that gravity and quantum mechanics can be put on the same level using randomness. This has been obtained using a stochastic gravity model and Nelson's stochastic mechanics. See, Randomness in modified general relativity theory: The stochastic f(R) gravity model. The emergence of the cosmological constant has also been considered.

      Why would you propose new stuff tho? That certainly won't get you a job later, unless things work out great. It's very easy for a person with a job say in a meeting that young people have to take risks. For what?
      As a young academic you have to publish first and a lot, then you get a position and then you invent stuff. Trying it any other way nowadays isn't very feasible in the current academic environment. 50 years ago you could get a doctorate, have 1 article and be invited to teach somewhere. If you created something new and it didn't pan out, that wasn't an issue that would ruin your career, because there were many positions and not many candidates for them. Now what academic circles want is to push people to industries, and restrict tenure as much as possible, making as few positions as possible available and use austerity when giving money for science if the institution is public; so that it can slowly fail and be sold and be very profitable.

      Creativity sounds like a vital part of science that can complement the maths and rigorous approach. Einstein had valued imagination and used it in his thought experiments. I believe that if we bother trying to visually model a hypothesis about what's really happening at the places we're stumped such as quantum scales, and then we mathematically test the visuals (such as with animated mechanics) for accuracy and to see what to tweak them accordingly, that scientists can make a breakthrough quicker.
      I'm gathering a few physicists and mathematicians for a team up with people with visual skills in animation and illustration and concepts to test the approach of visual hypothesis. You're all invited!

It is a natural mechanical interpretation of the Lorentz transform and makes the same theoretical predictions as SR. I mention it because I think physical, mechanical visualisation, as opposed to any arbitrary visualisation is key to understanding the workings of the universe from first principles.
      I also think that an aether would make a natural base for a visual/mechanical/intuitive explanation of quantum mechanics and field theories. What do you think of the idea?

      This is what good astrophysicists, cosmologists, et al should do.

      @@richs5422 sorry, you inspired a long reply. I do not think military use would be the immediate and primary use of such knowledge. Though that depends on who is the guardian of the info/tech.
      Remember, at the dawn of the Atomic age, we were literally forced into a world war and were trying to save lives with the then tactics of warfare. Regrettably, use of a wmd was determined to be needed rather than a demo because there would not have been any nuclear material remaining after a demo. The time-honored strategy of “A bullet is most useful unspent in the chamber” is Decision making 101. Historians generally agree the Allied’s body count without at least the first bomb would have been unimaginable given the skill and commitment of the Japanese to their Emperor-misguided Samurai are still Samurai (one of two that stopped the Mongols).
      Tactics have changed, more or less. For example, within the last couple of decades, most world governments show an inclination towards cyber/clandestine tactics. Also, the US rebuilt Europe and Japan. By comparison, Russia is an outlier with Cuba in the 60s, Crimea, and Ukraine. There should be another Operation Paperclip.
      For certain, the genie (invention or knowledge) will get out of the bottle at some point in time, and once observed, Engineers can reverse engineer it. Thus, it is important to consider who should be the guardian of such info. Of note, China will invade Taiwan. That is certain. China said so. Russia will likely attack if provoked on its historical territorial perspective-that goes wayyyyy back before the Vikings. The Middle East has a uniform goal for the genocide of Jews, as well as UAE and Sadi Arabia joined BRICS. We had the Abraham Accords, which was a Nobel Peace Prize worthy achievement an departure from past policies, but we have strayed from that path.
      As such, the Only options are either no discovery leading to zero improvement for humanity-and we could use some improving! Or bad actors (see above) get the info and force another world war, Or not bad actors discover the info. My vote is US. I can’t say I know or agree with everything my country has done or is doing ( our borders and Middle East need attention). are but I do know We value liberty, free and fair commerce, rule of law (we are still working on it) and want everyone to succeed that tries to improve lives and make the world safer. The US, has no current vengeance list or conquer agenda, which is demonstrated though our expensive diplomatic efforts, like How much we spend on UN and NATO etc.

      Peer review is only as good as the judgment, concentration, and attention spans of the peers chosen to review it. Having been a peer reviewer of articles in my own field (in humanities) and being an editor of a minor journal, it is amazing what you can miss on a bad day and how bizarre the comments of reviewers can be. Sometimes a bad paper is recognizable as bad. Sometimes a weird hypothesis is allowed through as an interesting idea for conversation. And sometimes a reviewer is just being weird and cranky and nitpicks all the little things without noticing the gaping hole in the argument!
      So, peer review is more helpful than just accepting papers blindly, but it us not a perfect system. Sabine has already given us a quick peer review (with a substantive critique about the nature of the equations).

    The problem, from my perspective, lies in the human perception of locality. Penrose begins to confront it in his Conformal Cyclicality ideas but it is not sufficiently granular. Is there a local component to gravity that permits a quantum interpretation? What do the Planck limits actually mean? Is there a quantum regime and a form of locality that exists apart from the Planck regime. Until we find a way to confront these questions the problems of GR vs QM will never be answered.

      MOND and dark matter are both nonsense. There are several papers which demonstrate that General Relativity explains the motion of galaxies just fine. The problem is that most astrophysicists have been using Newtonian mechanics to calculate galactic velocity curves because the math is easier, and they have falsely assumed that relativistic effects don't matter. In reality, relativistic effects do matter, particularly gravitational field self-interaction.
      No experiment has ever demonstrated the existence of dark matter, there are many galaxies whose behavior contradicts the theory of dark matter, and there is no explanation for what dark matter is or why it supposedly behaves the way it does. The truth is much more boring: relativity is correct, and physicists were too lazy to do their math correctly.

I am generally wary of arguments of this sort because if you have only two constants it's quite simple to come up with reasons for why they should be related and I've seen dozens of arguments of this sort that never led anywhere.

      Please, I’d like to know all about this…. I’m just a goofy musician with a TH-cam channel…. I LOVE Science related channels and music related channels.
      When I click LIKE, how does that affect MY Channel ????
      Oh, please come listen to my somewhat weird and half complete songs…😊😺🎹🎛🎚🎸…. It’s synthesizers and drum machines, and I say half-complete because I’m no t a good singer or lyrics writer, but I have great fun making music(weird)……

    I agree with you that J Oppenheim's recent work is extremely interesting. I am studying his recent papers now. When working on Machian GR theories 40+ yrs ago I found an alternative QFT way to derive gravitational lensing (and indirectly a numerical asymptote to GR) which gives a pretty good estimate of the baryonic mass of the observable universe. Not published unfortunately - life took different turn. If you Sabine (or someone else for that matter) is seriously interested please reply to this comment.

    If quantum's just playing around with some "randomness" (because, who really understands that stuff anyway?), and it's not getting along with gravity, why not throw a bit of randomness into gravity's mix too? Brilliance at its finest!

    Here is an allegedly irrelevant commentary: I have a feeling that you are right!
    And I love your humorous, open minded, in depth short and precise videos. I also love the fact that you actually get right to the point without much "further ado"!

    Don't tell PBS space but I almost entirely switched to you 😂

    "I'm just an old grumpy woman who thinks she's seen it all before..." I don't often post... but that was too much. Thank you for being humble and honest and putting a smile on my face. -- from a grumpy old man.
