Hello Lawrence, this is to appreciate your efforts and the invitation of such a renowned guest! Been following your podcast for several months but have just now spared the time to watch the episode. There are no timecodes, so it was not very easy to handle. On Spotify there is partitioning, which is perfect. However, it's easier to concentrate on the interview when you see the speakers. Anyway, made it regardless of the aforementioned factors and am grateful for the knowledge conveyed through a personal story!
I know it's only surface detail but i really enjoy the new age music in the introduction, it gives things an air of being invited into this consciousness expanding, fascinating domain
@@TheOriginsPodcast WOW you responded haha, well you deserve the high praise.. shows you are down to earth and not an elitist like so many others who wouldn't lower themselves to rub shoulders with the peasants who make up their audience,, YOU ROCK DUDE!! i am THRILLED you responded, you deserve only the very best in life ROCK ON!
To prove that quarks (subatomic particles) are more real while protons and neutrons (atomic particles) are less real, we need to establish a clear definition of what we mean by "real" and then provide evidence or logical arguments that support this claim. Let's approach this step by step. Definition of "real": For the purpose of this proof, we will define "real" as being more fundamental, indivisible, and closer to the underlying nature of reality. Proof: 1. Quarks are the fundamental building blocks of matter: - Protons and neutrons are composed of quarks. Protons consist of two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons consist of one up quark and two down quarks. - Quarks are not known to have any substructure; they are considered to be elementary particles. - Therefore, quarks are more fundamental than protons and neutrons. 2. Quarks are indivisible: - Protons and neutrons can be divided into their constituent quarks through high-energy particle collisions. - However, there is no known way to divide quarks into smaller components. They are believed to be indivisible. - Therefore, quarks are indivisible, while protons and neutrons are divisible. 3. Quarks are closer to the underlying nature of reality: - The Standard Model of particle physics, which is our most comprehensive theory of the fundamental particles and forces, describes quarks as elementary particles that interact through the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces. - Protons and neutrons, on the other hand, are composite particles that emerge from the interactions of quarks. - Therefore, quarks are closer to the underlying nature of reality as described by our most fundamental scientific theories. 4. Quarks exhibit more fundamental properties: - Quarks have intrinsic properties such as color charge, flavor, and spin, which determine how they interact with each other and with other particles. - Protons and neutrons derive their properties from the collective behavior of their constituent quarks. - Therefore, the properties of quarks are more fundamental than those of protons and neutrons. 5. Quarks are necessary for the existence of protons and neutrons: - Without quarks, protons and neutrons would not exist, as they are composed entirely of quarks. - However, quarks can exist independently of protons and neutrons, as demonstrated by the existence of other hadrons such as mesons, which are composed of one quark and one antiquark. - Therefore, quarks are necessary for the existence of protons and neutrons, but not vice versa. Conclusion: Based on the above arguments, we can conclude that quarks are more real than protons and neutrons. Quarks are more fundamental, indivisible, and closer to the underlying nature of reality as described by our most advanced scientific theories. They exhibit intrinsic properties that determine the behavior of composite particles like protons and neutrons, and they are necessary for the existence of these atomic particles. It is important to note that this proof relies on our current scientific understanding of particle physics and the nature of matter. As our knowledge advances, our understanding of what is "real" may evolve. However, based on the current evidence and theories, the argument for the greater reality of quarks compared to protons and neutrons is strong.
What do the Twistors of Roger Penrose and the Hopf Fibrations of Eric Weinstein and the "Belt Trick" of Paul Dirac have in common? In Spinors it takes two complete turns to get down the "rabbit hole" (Alpha Funnel 3D--->4D) to produce one twist cycle (1 Quantum unit). Can both Matter and Energy be described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature? (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Mass= 1/Length, with each twist cycle of the 4D Hypertube proportional to Planck’s Constant. In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137. 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) If quarks have not been isolated and gluons have not been isolated, how do we know they are not parts of the same thing? The tentacles of an octopus and the body of an octopus are parts of the same creature. Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. The "Color Force" is a consequence of the XYZ orientation entanglement of the twisted tubules. The two twisted tubule entanglement of Mesons is not stable and unwinds. It takes the entanglement of three twisted tubules to produce the stable proton.
If you consider information you recieve, you are already the smartest people in the room. The smartest people talk in high school-esque cliques. Something about volcanism relating to fertility. Iunno. They make what isnt hard, sound like its so esoteric.
Woke up to this podcast by the randomness of Google/TH-cam algorithm....I'm 35yo raised by a scientist (father in law, quantum particules collisions theory, high energy collider, well pure mathematics that it doesn't make sense anymore)... It can be quite the dangerous mix to not have the same raw intellectual capability of someone you look to like a father figure, but unfortunately, you often realize that too late. I heard a lot of "i" not much more. Cheers and nothing personal, blame the algorithms.
Amazing discussion. In our sea of technology,, Physics has oddly lost it's shine...at least in McAmerica. Then again, we've always used immigrant brains to advance the science.
Back in 2020, my neighborhood was full of Trump yard signs. This time around, we got two, that just popped up. I’m in Arizona, in the heart of Maricopa County. We are hearing how close the face is here. I’m not seeing that on the ground.
Hmm Frank should read the Pearl of great price, it might put things in perspective for him. God is science and vice versa; and all matter is intelligence
Wat I’m in fear of if fentanyl hits our streets like USA an we start seeing the likes of Philadelphia on our streets and terrible loss of life that’s if it’s not already reached our shores I’ve not heard it has as yet and hope it never does

I love listening to so many intellectuals. But these two mumbling bumbling intellectualls, i just cant listen to another second. They both give me a headache. Its too bad because im sure they have something i can learn from. Just cant stand it anymore. Krauss just creeps me out and the other guy unfortunately suffers some thing i cannot even explain. I feel bad for even saying these things, but it is what it is. I’ll take Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins all day long before I ever listen to krauss again.
If you cannot surround yourself with smart people in your life in-person, this is easily the next best thing, really any of the Origins Podcasts!

what a great interview, truly enjoyed it
turning off the camera tracking provides a much better viewing experience for those of us who get motion sickness easily
Finally one of those episodes I'll watch over and over (Guth and Penrose episodes are the same). Grateful! Thank you!
Still watching but absolutely love this interview!
Fascinating conversation. enjoyed every minute of it
Lawrence, tomorrow Susskind has Dirac medal presentation. Get him on your show!!
He will appear in June.
@@TheOriginsPodcast It's June!

Beautiful dialog. I like how carefull chose words mr Frank. A great man, a great mind.
Thanks for the update info on: The Edge of Knowledge: Unsolved Mysteries of the Cosmos. Just bought it. Can't wait to read it.
You have both had tremendous influence on my scientific mind. Such an awesome podcast!
Thank you for this!! I love that we have access to this amazing conversation. This is what is good about the internet 🛜

What a clear mind looks like, amazing interview!!!!!
Hi, tremendous talk, just brilliant.....
Fascinating interview, loved hearing his experiences as a kid, of figuring out that something he held dear, his belief in God, was not true.
Great talk, which of course I mostly didn't understand at all : )
