What is String Theory?

- Brian Greene explains the basic idea of String Theory in under 3 minutes. Thirty-five years ago string theory took physics by storm, promising the coveted unified theory of nature’s forces that Einstein valiantly sought but never found. In the intervening decades, string theory has brought a collection of mind-boggling possibilities into the lexicon of mainstream thinking-extra dimensions of space, holographic worlds, and multiple universes. Some researchers view these developments as symptoms of string theory having lost its way. Others argue that string theory, although very much still a work in progress, is revealing stunning new qualities of reality. Join leading minds in theoretical physics for a whirlwind ride through the twists and turns of string theory-its past, its future, and what it tells us about the search for the universe’s final theory.

This is what online school should have looked like
Yeah it has a clear understanding too
Yes but... Use your brain, you cant get a live video with quality VFX.
@@tres-2b299 they could have given us recorded videos like I was already getting recorded videos so it could have been better
People like these don't exactly teach students in conventional classes.
ohh...I wish😂😂😂😂
Holy shit! I do see lot of white strings when I peel off an orange.
🤣
OMG
i dont know what to say
This comment deserves way more likes
I think u have to increase ur zoom power of eye to see the strings.make it Enough strong as electron microscope.
Whoever edited this deserves a raise.
The simple explanation of the string theory itself deserves an Oscar in the category of "Making complicated stuff digestible for mortals"
But the guy who edited everything so we could not only listen but also see what's going on is a true genius.
Incredibly well made, well done
❤😊 true. Thanks to video editor
The editor who created this visual is a true genius. Thank you.💯🙏
One of the best and clearest visual explanations on youtube!
no its not
I could not agree more. 👌🏾
If all physics teacher explain physics like this, i think human civilization will jump to the next level
@JohnnyAppleseed My country's curriculum doesn't even mention quarks.
@@jacobamarjan2325 it doesn't need to, ofc they should, but those growing up with internet are already familiar with those
@JohnnyAppleseed well yes but they explain it very poorly i never understand anything in class, but outside of school i love psychics
@JohnnyAppleseed you're probably kidding but english is my second language i always mix up the spelling of those two
@JohnnyAppleseed no, i know they're frauds, i meant i know it was a funny remark and you already know i just misspelled without me telling you

Best string theory explanation video under 3 minutes I've ever seen.
Well damn, after watching videos trying to explain string theory for YEARS, someone finally dumbs it down enough for me to grasp. Thank you.
One of the best graphical representations I have seen!
Yeah right...
100% trur
Is there any things like this ?
Yeah
Yeah
great graphical representation.. wow
Bhaskar Jyoti Borah I highly Recommend any scientist to try DMT. I truly believe it connects us to the quantum realm on an unexplainable level.
i like it with brian weed, he realy gets inside the program is alusinating staff no joke.
Yeah, very Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Men this is such an oversimplification
I want my smart phone to be like that. Expand video, play.
Thank you!
Short, concise yet articulate enough where I now have a basic understanding of string theory.
I guess if all school teachers explain concepts using this way, I think all of us would end up in Harvard and Stanford! Thank you so much for this explanation!!
When you realise, you are nothing but a bunch of strings vibrating in a world which is made of strings
lol 😃😂
Made mostly of nothing, in reality. Interesting how reality is _strung_ together...
M from INDIA(BHARAT) and in HINDU vedas...its clearly says in beginning.. universe is the dance of shakti(energy) around shiva...well we knew that 10,000 years ago😂..the oldest and most scientific culture in the earth..dnt believe me? Then u should read more about r history and scientist's😊🙏✌️
when you realize you are nothing but a bunch of on the cob vibrating in a world which is made of on the cob
That's how you know you've been brainwashed. Lmao
Whoever made the animations need a raise!!!
Absolutely 💯🤗
Yes
The animator must be an extremely patient artist who has to listen to exact instructions given to him or her by a client.
This is my favorite explanation of string theory,No cap. I loved how it looked so real and logical. I have watched more videos relating to string theories but damn this is the best visual representation i came across so far.
That is the easiest explanation of the string theory in particular and a molecule in general that I have ever heard. Kudos Sir.
Finally I understood what Sheldon used to work on...

I love the video! I have always been interested in theories of physics and this theory was one of the ones that caught my attention the most. This video is one of the best I have seen because it explains perfectly and is not long. I hope they make more videos like this!!
I've always been reluctant to go down the string theory rabbit hole because it sounded intimidating. This video made it easy to understand. Good job Brian!
Isn't it about the only way we can go. Everything is energy and the energy has to be manifested in some way. It may not be correct the way it is put up but currently in my opinion it has to be something like that. They find that photons (electromagnetic waves) are energy carrying waves but how? They find that electrons are energy carrying waves but again how? I don't think that there are any particles at all at that scale.
We know that things appear solid when we touch it but we also know that it is build up of molecules that doesn't exactly fill up all the space. That doesn't appear to worry us. We know that molecules are made of atoms and there again even more space is empty and we don't complain. We know that again even more space again is empty between the particles that we think are there in the atom. Does it worry us? No we accept it all as a material. Why should it then worry that the smallest of what we call particles are not solid but some fluctuations of energy. The question is just how is that fluctuation build up?
u were too late, this theory already got debunked and approved to be not science and now a religion and competion of whose math look more beautiful and elegant
@@tonyli8703 Elaborate please. I am not disputing your statement at all but I am very interested in this. What is debunked and who approved what is debunked? If it is the string theory then I don't think it was a theory anyway but a hypothesis.
I don't think that anything on that scale is proven or disproven as yet. If so please tell me what is energy, what is an electric field and what is a magnetic field. I don't mean how we measure it and how it shows up but what it actually is. What is it that is actually coming out from a positive or negative charge and what is it that is going between the North and the South poles on a magnet.
That must be some manifestation of energy.
.
@@leonhardtkristensen4093 you just simply look up on how Penrose said string theory is wrong, if it is wrong then it is debunked?
@@tonyli8703 take a multi variable calculus book and tape some astrology pages in the back and you’ll have something roughly as scientifically rigorous.
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

He was ahead of his time. What a brilliant mind
@@rogeranrosaradi3285 u srs?
Damn!
Actually, he learned this from Vivekananda who came from India..he is a spiritual leader. When they both met, nikola tesla asked questions which he didn't find answers... One of the questions is about universe.. Vivekananda bought meditation to west..Jst google it Vivekananda and nikolai tesla you get know where that came from.

nice info tho
But and then, what is the string made off? Let's zoom in some more.
He already said in the video. It's made up of energy

Here we are talking about string theory. And the scenerio end here in energy
this is the best & simplest explanation of such an elusive topic, absolutely great narration & graphics
Great video, the explanation is very accurate, and the fundamental particle of all matter is clearly understood, reduced to its most basic form... and the video editing is also highly enjoyable and well-done!!
As a musician, the thought that the Universe is made up of vibrating Strings makes a lot of sense and is also the most beautiful idea anyone has ever had. It translates to us living Inside the works of the most unfathomable orchestra. I'm in awe.
😀👏
I encourage you to look up “music of the spheres”. You would like it.
That's a really dope outlook. I cant remember the name of it but there's a device, a speaker of sorts that you can plus into the dirt, trees, etc, and actually listen to what sound they play. It's very beautiful
Time to make something based of this

I loved this video, thanks for explaining string theory in such an exciting way 😊
Reminds me of a poem:
Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on;

😂LMAOOO
lol
I love you.
The only explanation that finally let's me understand what is string theory in simple terms. Thank you for this.
Now on to General Relativity and Special Relativity...
Don't get excited....it's BS.....the aliens will explain it all soon.
Exactly the same words I had (and I’m a 67 year old retired engineer)!
Really? Found this explanation for a decade all over the web, videos are not a necessity.
then you sure dumb as hell i you need cgi and dumb old visuals to understand something lmao
You cannot present it better. Well done Brian! Thank you.
I never really understood this theory at all, but after Brian explaining about the oranges and its particles, I did get the idea of it.

Bazinga!
Just came here after watching that
"...It was a warm summer evening in Ancient Greece......"
JPGR same 🤣🤣
same here i saw big bang theory and this video thereafter, made me momentarily dream of becoming a theoretical physicist.
A quark walks into a bar and gravitates toward an electron and says, "Let's get together. No strings attached." The electron says, "I come with a charge but the neutrino over there is free."

Electron asks proton in a bar “do u wanna drink?” “Yes” “you sure?” “ yes im positive”.
I have seen lots of your documentaries, this is short and sweet and up there with the rest of them,thank you!
I’ve never witnessed a better explanation. Thank you so much
This is why I LOVE science... He kept repeating "If, If, If"... instead of saying this is Truth and anyone who disagrees is WRONG!
Yeah theres a group of people that do that, they are called religious people.

Ok so it's a fundamental answer of any question asking what it's made up of.🤣
Sir your explanation and the tech u used is amazing 👏
I really like that this video is very simple and informative about the interesting string theory, the visuals are really amazing and help us understand it better and with more detail.
But I'm still wondering at the fact that when he was recording it, there was no hologram, and he was just waving his hands in the air, imagining stuff...
His hands were attached to strings…
That's why base of physics is curiosity and imagination
He had confidence in his animators making it look good.
@@jeffcolorado dude yeah, right? Like such a small thing to worry about. 😂
@@jeffcolorado as much confidence as Magneto actor during that helicopter scene
Thank god now I can watch the big bang theory series
that is to a spooky fany one program
But still there is quantum mechanics/theory 😁😁😂

Finally? Who’s been quark-blocking you?
😂😂😂
The most simplest video I ever seen about quantum mechanism. Good job ❤
Wow! What a great presentation! Many thanks, Brian.
This visualisation literally blew up my mind! String theory explained in just two-and-half minutes. Brilliant!
Figuratively, not literally.
@@jcwoods2311 people often use the word "literally" to add emphasis to what they're saying even though it's not correct usage.
@@StaticBlaster they do indeed, but standards are standards, eh?
@@charlytaylor1748 Not really. It's not like human standards are written into the laws of nature. People often misuse the word "enormity" as well.
“The universe is infinitely large as it is small.” -Most mind-blowing quote you will ever hear in your life.
Now this changes everything to me
Fantastic reply
wow thats actually possible if we r inside a small void with infinite space because of some unknown dimension
It's mind blowing using the Crack Theory too !!
best explanation so far....thnx for making it sooo easy for us to understand this concept 👌🏻
Wow! That was the most sophisticated simplest explanation science could possibly have of string theory. Simply amazing.
Zoom in on that and you'll see Mr. Krabs playing the world's smallest violin.

When your lecturer so smart the lesson of the day ended under 3 minutes.
Smart yes, but good at teaching as well.
Only happens in parallel universe 🥺
I have experienced the string theory, for years I had no clue what it was. My intuition told me it was spiritual, but now that physics can put it into words for me.. is amazing. 2:05
It's fascinating how such a simple idea can explain so much about the universe!
Literally watching it after eating oranges and now I am having a feeling that my belly is vibrating!

Elladathum OOla malayalikal :)
Tesla was no physicist.
He disagreed with the theory of atoms being composed of smaller subatomic particles, stating there was no such thing as an electron creating an electric charge. He believed that atoms could not change state or be split in any way. He was a believer in the 19th-century concept of an all-pervasive ether that transmitted electrical energy.
@@ASLUHLUHCE So he was just caught up in the popular theory of the day just like string theorists today.

Works well when you are presenting the grand concept. But going into details is inevitable, and that means formulas and un-intuitive theoretical stuff.

Finally I've found my dream teacher...I wish I had teachers like him at school 😢......Thanks sir for your kind and incredible explanation 😊.
Impresive how this teacher explained this complex topic in just two minutes. Congratulations!
This was so clear! So well explained. But can I honestly and humbly ask how does this help us understand the Universe or life itself? I want to know.
It doesn't, really. Just helps us understand reality more. All these people working on String Theory know for sure that this is not the end of the story.
Ahem...can we please zoom more maybe i find my lost sock?
Sagar Ranga sure, you have infinite time?
i understand more here about some physics than my entire schooling about physics......education system is just for marks nowadays.
Totally agree
Yes
but u didnt tho lets be honest...
totally true
@ShonenAce Agreed👍
Great Explanation and Visualization. Loved it. The next quest is .. What are the contents of this string? Where does it get energy from to Vibrate? Just Curious.
Being a teacher myself this is what teaching is all about...so simple and clear..
What ?? Filling your brains with useless mental gymnastics ??
I first heard about string theory 11 years ago and this is the first time I've ever truely understood it . Awesome vid !
That was the best explanation I've ever had on science. Mind blown😳. Why cant all science be this easy?
Cause it's costly? 🤷♀️
It's not easy. It's just the tip of the tip. If you go deeper & deeper ,it is much complex and sophisticated
The most amazing explanation and visualization.
