    Hi Mino, yes the maths behind String theory is extremely important - despite dealing with things on a quantum (tiny) scale, in effect this 'scales up' to the real world, so quantum mechanics rules the entire world despite describing the smallest of domains. You might want to check out our talk by Alex Westphal on String Theory too!

    Lol-- at 53:22, he says he's going to "skip through some of this stuff because it's a little bit technical." Then again, it was also the most sensical thing he said during the second half of the talk.

    That's the least of your worries. Early on he mentions phenomena and states, "we will cover to this later". Then when 'later on' arrives, he proudly states, "as discussed earlier".

    4:00 Gravity is not weaker than electro magnetism ... try putting the paper clip in space and see if it gets pulled toward a magnet 60 miles away on earth .... .... electro magnetism is only stronger at very small distances ... we need to grasp and understand this to move forward correctly

    • @enigma9306
      @enigma9306 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Your a genius... You know that's not really much of a revelation, physics describes that. The strong nuclear force acts on even shorter distances, but the field strength is greater than the electrostatic field strength. The strength is defined by a number=the density of the probabability amplitude wave of electrons for electrostatic interactions. But this has a very short range, whereas for gravity, with gravitons replacing electrons, the range is much larger because it takes allot more gravitons than electrons to have the same probability amplitude.

      +J-N-H-M The point that you make doesn't Support the Notion that EM ist weaker than G.One Thing you forgot to take into account is geometry.
      EM force decreases with the square of the distance. Since it is very strong, you Need only to take a small magnet, compared to a huge planet.
      However, by that you have to buy the fast decay of the force cince taking the object away for only a small distance, you multiply the effective distance.

      +J-N-H-M ...There is something true, about what You are saying. Try to put a piece of wood, instead of paperclip, and magnet does not do much nothing, and try to put little bit of water, and magnet will repel it. but to compare or calculate which is stronger, is question of relative, and I dont think it lead to anywhere.

      thinkrealify thats good stuff but i thought the edges of galaxies went faster than expected, not the inside is going slower ....
      and if light or the electromagnetic spectrum is the force carrier of gravity , then black holes would have no gravity since no light or electromagnetic radiation could escape it ...
      ( good thing i don't think black holes are Real either )

    Looking at AREPO's time-lapse simulation reassures me that spin_1 gravitons, if they retroreflectively tend to balanced spin-handedness and tend to pair-off oppositely and thereby generate a balanced spin_2 effect, would do a much better job simulating cosmological gravity. The most interesting galaxies AREPO generates just aren't round enough to impress, they lack the distinct radial phase-contrasts of a prototypical ring or spiral galaxy. Bilateral spiral arm balance seems rare and ephemeral.

  • @CACBCCCU
    @CACBCCCU 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another reason to think gravitons could be spin_1 is that 'gluon chains' have been used as a replacement for gravity quanta with great success in simulation even though gluons are spin_1, not that I think gluon chains can replace all gravitational effects quantum gravitons could produce, i.e. all gravity. Still seems conceivable that all forces are mediated by spin_1 particles, implying the Higgs effect (inertia) is a resonance of spin_1 forces rather than a product of spin_0 (Higgs) particles.

  • @CACBCCCU
    @CACBCCCU 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I suppose the quantized flux loops through e.g. Josephson-junction rings are supposed to behave just as sets of closed strings, one closed-string per magnetic loop flux-quantum. As far as linking rings to qbits goes, I guess selectively-coupled sets of rings could carry modulated phase differences, giving enough phase information to carry several qbits, depending on phase-resolution limits. Seems like a quantum version of D8PSK or D16PSK would carry 3 or 4 qbits. Could be wrong, I don't know.

  • @EminorReal

    Could gravitational potential and electrical potential be linked together? They both use the inverse square law! In this theory gravity is a secondary force to the EM force. Objects just free-fall towards the greatest energy because it has the greatest time dilation! Because the photon of quantum mechanics is also the carries of the EM force this would link gravity with quantum mechanics!

  • @sonicase
    @sonicase 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    he says gravity has an effect on all particles, however there are massless particles (gauge bosons). i know light can be bent around a large mass like a star but i think space is just curved around it. so it's not really the gravity.
    i'm a particle physics noob but that part seemed a little iffy.
    there's been no real evidence for string theory(i think). it makes me wonder if we're over complicating the situation like astronomers were over complicating the movement of the planets before kepler

  • @CACBCCCU
    @CACBCCCU 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I guess I should be clearer about saying "graviton-graviton scattering" could be nonexistent - I mean there seems no reason to suppose gravity couples to itself as suggested at 30:50 if quantum gravitons are massless, pointlike and spin_1. Just as an electron is needed for a central loop in so-called "photon-photon scattering" a mass particle, probably a collection of mass particles actually, would be one requirement to form a central loop for any sort of "graviton-graviton scattering" effect.

    They are getting the idea that Energy is space-time compress. When E is liberate is generating a violent expansion of the space-time getting back to it's previous volume. The velocity of the expansion is the speed of light C. Each sub-atomic particle is just space-time compress. From there, we can have protons, electrons, neutrons, etc. The biggest concentration of E or M, is just when the E or M disappear from our universe, and just leave their gravity (compression of space-time). We call that black hole.

    This is an invitation to see an alternative to String Theory!
    Where the different dimensions are just future possibilities in our one 3D Universe.
    Based on the postulates:
    1. The Ψ probability function represents the forward passage of time with the future coming into existence photon by photon.
    2. Is that HUP ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w-function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event within our own ref-frame that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!

  • @CACBCCCU
    @CACBCCCU 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    A classical gravity wave seems like an abstract ocean lacking water molecules. A ship strains in ocean waves much like it would in gravity waves of the same rate, a molecular analysis is superfluous to that, although the ship's strains are generated by spin_1 interactions on the molecular level, the effect at the macro-level is spin_2. For many reasons I believe quantum gravitons are pointlike spin-one particles with macro-spin-2 effect, so graviton-graviton scatter should be nonexistant, imo.

    In an attempt to breed snakes for their Natural History Museum, the scientists created a natural habitat that included a few hollow logs for the snakes to lay their eggs in. Months went by and the snakes did not breed. A lone scientist watching the habitat through a viewing pane pondered aloud, "Why are these snakes not reproducing?" You can imagine his surprise when one of the snakes replied, "Silly scientists, we don't use logs to multiply, we are adders!". (only comp sci students get this)

    I can safely say now that the principal contradiction is not one of technical like devising new theories or inventing new math. The principal contradiction at this stage of the intellectual struggle is one of framework of approach. I concur with the suggestion of Max Tegmark of MIT, an entirely new way is imperative to resolve all the contradictions and conflicts in all-round-way, and once-and-for-all. I devised an entirely new approach that is consistent, coherent and comprehensive in my book.

    Platonic physics on why quantum gravity is so difficult
    In Platonic physics, as in Leibniz, the physical world is completely made of bodies of matter.
    Each of these bodies simultaneously has a mental correpondent, a quantum, called a monad.
    But if there is no physical correspondent-- and no graviton has yet been found -
    there is no corresponding quntum (monad).
    Hence quantum gravity appears to be a search for something that can't be.

    Or was he? Ok so we know the problem is when you apply T.O.R. to a black hole and work out the long complex math you end up with infinity for the density, mass, and gravity on the singularity. But to me that just simply suggests that inside the black hole would exist another Universe.

    10-D SUGRAs are low energy limits of superstring-theories. N=8 SUGRA in 4-D (presented in this talk) can be found from a dimensional reduction of 11-D SUGRA (Wikipedia: SUGRA).
    So why does Dixon claim that N=8 SUGRA in 4-D is fundamentally different from string-theory?

    If the old keepers of the two seemingly competing visions that uphold a time-dependent universe are entangled with creation, the new generation of theorist are entangled with multiple creations. This simply means that the keepers are in a state of confusion with respect to the intellectual struggle. The real central issue is survival and not one of finding or proving how the universe was created.

    ...? Like all great scientists, Einstein was right about some things and wrong about others - quantum mechanics was just taking shape during his time and was less understood. But I'm sure a modern Einstein would be able to build upon the tremendous physical and mathematical evidence put forth since the early 1900s.
    And the things he was right about, relativity and his contributions to wave-particle duality among others, have remained cornerstones of modern physics.

    The principal contradiction at this critical juncture is not like any other contradiction that fundamental physics has encountered in its brief history. If we take the first great revolution in human thoughts of the great Ionian Awakening, we are supposed to be in the sixth stage of the intellectual struggle but as it is the keepers of the two so-called competing visions are stuck, they are entangle with creation. That's if we discard the timeless universe put forward by Xenophanes.

    Could the lecturer be more nervous and totally disconnected from his audience? Someone asks a legitimate question about what he meant by the "toy models" physicists use in their quest for understanding. He couldn't have answered any worse than he did. Simply, a toy model is something, either physical or abstract, that allows one to see or visualize what is going on - while being far from accurate depictions of reality. Eg, those models of atoms with little coloured balls joined like tinkertoys.

      Kevin Pean you are conflating earth magnetic field and earth's gravitational pull. "squeezing" earth to the size of a magnet _would not_ increase gravitational pull, as that hinges on mass alone and that doesn't change in your hypothetical (density does). for earth to create a black hole, its radius would need to be 8,7mm.

    • @KevinP32270
      @KevinP32270 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      rodluvan1976...i respectfully disagree. as you squeeze the eath down to a smaller sphere the gravitational pull/squees would increase. that is why it would be a black sphere at the 8.7mm size. there is lost of space between atoms where gravitons live. concentrate them and the strength gets stronger.

    • @BlueinRhapsody
      @BlueinRhapsody 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kevin Pean If all the mass of the Earth was concentrated to the size of a magnet at the center of the Earth and you remained where you are right now, the force of gravity acting on you would actually be slightly weaker.
      Forces are determined by the distance between two object and the force constant. For gravity this is mass, for electromagnetism it is charge.
      F = k q_1 q_2 / r^2 for the electric force.
      F = G m_1 m_2 / r^2 for gravity.
      k is a lot bigger than G. You need a lot more mass than charge to obtain the same level of force at the same distance.
      For example, if you had two objects w/ the charge of an electron, to get the same force, you'd need two objects at the same distance to have the mass of 20 billion times the mass of an electron.

    This is a poor lecture to post to the internet. The physicist introduces far too many words and concepts with no explanation what they are. By about the ten minute mark, even the most intent concentration leaves the viewer baffled and befuddled. One can only imagine how the audience at the SETI Institute reacted. Typically, the ending is a Q and A session where the intellectually irrelevant start constructing their most imaginative unrelated questions in some act of self-confirmation. Rates a D.

    how is it a joke? I wouldn't waste my time with any of the seti crap. Are you telling me we have comm from the aliens? Nice of them to waste computing power, electricity, and other resources for nothing. Yes, nothing.

    This is such a lame joke. If you had seen any of the seti talks, you would know better.
