Beautiful! Thank you. When people really understand 'What is science' and then elegantly demonstrate its application on such awesome universal trends, it's a thing of beauty!
No one really understands 'what is science'.....in general the smart people know how little they know and keep quiet, whereas the invested, the charlatans and the needy are the noisy ones who we hear from most. I have a friend who is a publishing astro-physisist who estimates modern mainstrem 'Science' knows or understands only 25% of what is out there....and that is probably a generous estimate.
I appreciate the nuts and bolts of these science language. Your words and the understanding of your words makes a difference in good communication. Thank you for your valuable time and expertise. Patience is also detected. 😊
I was taken early on with Clegg's example of the lightswitch and how much of our energy would be spent if we can to consider every light switch individually in order to use it. I actually feel our culture has headed in that direction with the multiplicity of apps and virtual conferencing platforms so that just functioning on any given day, one has to use mental energy just to function on what used to be basic tasks. That spent energy could be directed more meaningfully in other life experiences which is why I believe that the experience of life has diminished significantly in the digital age - or as least in how we have designed the digital age. Even buying something in person in a store requires more energy as no two stores having purchasing processes that are alike. For me, I have to use conscious effort to do what had been in the past automatic.
Of course, according to your definition, things are abstractions in a conceptualized perceptual illusion enabled & reified (thingified) by limited consciousness & self-limiting beliefs. Likewise, your "processes" are also abstractions in a conceptualized perceptual illusion enabled & reified (thingified) by limited consciousness & self-limiting beliefs. In other words, you believe that you and your self/world construct are figments of the personal mental fiction you think of as actual reality. Right?
We will never get a true understanding of the universe until we can mentally leap over our human intuition and common sense. They both tell us how we expect the universe to be. Take this video for examples. Looking for pattens is a human concept we see what we want and expect to see.

The way to tell that tile A and tile B are in fact the exact same shade of gray is to move a bit away from your phone or screen and squint your eyes. Focus only on those 2 tiles. It breaks the illusion. This technique works with quite a few optical illusions I've noticed.

All it really shows to myself is, it points out the need to separate space from matter. It actually shows that the matter verse and the vacuum are 2 different properties. And it also says to myself if we dont through science separate and study both as separate entities. Then we will always be unsure why we cant figure either one out. Its the separation of these 2 properties that in the end will allow us to have the real TOE from atleast our perspective as a part of the matter verse.
I know it sounds crazy, and I definitely don't have anything even approaching a theory, but I suspect that somehow it's the sequence of electrochemical activities in the brain that becomes "aware". Sort of a "program" that monitors multiple patterns simultaneously. Excellent lecture!

Then adjusted my eyes so that my left eye looks at the “A” while my right eye looks at the “B” and instead of seeing two colors flipping back and forth as each eye compete for dominance I see one shade of grey while the letters flip back and forth in the dominance… yeah. That’s a pretty interesting illusion.

There are sight-versus-hearing illusions, too. If you see a "talking head" on a video screen mouth one sound, but the speakers put out another sound, your brain says that eyes are more reliable than ears and will change what you seem to hear in many cases. And you cannot stop this from happening, no matter what you do, unless you look away from the talking head and then you can hear the actual sounds being produced. These illusions can be quite elaborate and even scary as to the results you hear when looking at the talking head when the sounds made differ from what the silent mouth seems to be saying.
You're talking about the McGurk Effect. The McGurk effect is a perceptual phenomenon that demonstrates an interaction between hearing and vision in speech perception. The illusion occurs when the auditory component of one sound is paired with the visual component of another sound, leading to the perception of a third sound. Ba Ba Ba Fa Fa Fa Da Da Da

5:43 -- It might be more accurate to say "the face on Mars" has been damaged than to say it is not there. A smooth surface (over what appears to be a granular substrate) on the the right side of the "face" has been damaged. Why was there a smooth surface over a granular substrate? The transitions in elevation from the flat surface of the planet to the sloping sides of the "face" seem to be distinct. Why are there distinct transitions between smooth surfaces at different slopes?
The unlucky 13 number superstition originates from ancient Persia (Persepolis 550BC) and the Nowruz celebration of the spring equinox, roughly March 21st. On the 13th day after Nowruz (New day), there's a traditional event called Siz Dah Bedah (translated as 3, 10, throw away) i.e. throw away the 13 because this number 13 was/and still associated with bad luck and all the bad luck of the previous year, and that people pray for a better, new year by discarding the 13 including the knotted grass grown during Nowruz. Why exactly this 13 is unlucky in of itself, though, is a mystery. They say house prices reduce if you're property is 13! I think this is off topic though from the lecture on patterns studied by science, just thought i'd point out a little trivia about 13 as Brain Clegg did mention 13 at the beginning of his presentation...
Hello, I discovered the real and unique commmon pattern between everything, I've done a little documentary on my channel but it's in french (try subtitles maybe). Unfortunately french people are too limited while it's an absolutly major discovery.
As we can't do the same experiment from a none EMF perspective as everything is in fact in a bubbles of an EMFS. We really need to get out into the vacuum. Can we see the voids in the CMB. What do they appear as do we have that information. Im just curious as it looks like when i look at the CMB is all matter is connected and the addition by subtraction is whats actually occurring. Its a great picture in any event. Great video by the way.
First optical illusion: you can also cover all of the screen except squares A and B and see that they are the sake color. Now imagine someone who just sees this and claims, “One is much darker. I saw it with my own eyes. I know.”
~58:00 Don't get TOO technical. In 'common thinking', mirrors DO 'swap' left/right. Would you like to see a mirror that 'swaps' top and bottom? Simply tilt your head 90 degrees to either side, so that one eye is 'above' the other. Now, the mirror is 'swapping' top and bottom. If evolution had given us depth perception by placing one eye above the other, aligned vertically instead of horizontally, then, in 'common thinking', mirrors would 'swap' top and bottom instead of left and right. (These ramblings are basically my opinion, arrived at years ago when I was first learning about photography, and the lenses and sometimes mirrors inside cameras that made them work.) It's not hard science, just something I figured out one day when I tilted my head 90 degrees to one side and looked in a mirror and noticed that instead of swapping left and right, my brain told me the mirror was swapping top and bottom. The whole 'left/right' thing happens simply because our stereoscopic vision is achieved with two eyes that are aligned horizontally. We could have just as easily evolved with two eyes aligned vertically. The brain would have given us depth perception just as effectively that way. It only requires two different POV's to create depth perception. HOW the two POV's are actually aligned makes no difference. Your depth perception doesn't disappear simply because you tilt your head 90 degrees to one side. But mirrors look funny for just a second when you look at them that way! 🙂🙂🙂
I appreciate this talk, but science is not about patterns and routines at all. It’s about distillation of universal principles behind diverse phenomena. The message behind the “words” of every day events that transcends those events in ways that connect them to other events. In this way we see that science is the progressive unification of the events such as lightning and the spark when you rub your feet on the carpet and touch metal. Epistemologically, it is important to make that clear. Because the way that works itself is a general principle behind things we only see through those things. Another important point that differentiates science is that we theorize to try to make our models conform to actual reality. When we do that, we can extend the successful theory into new areas and project what will be found such as missing “holes” in the logic of the periodic table. The logic of it allows prediction. We can never go into the sun and experimentally test it, but we can know what is on there by extending general universal principles and combining it with what we do know. Anyway, my background is in epistemology and if we do not think about the patterns of how information and symbols work in the universe, then we will miss a huge area of discovery, technology, and future inquiry which seems to me to be absolutely vital to our survival. That’s why I wrote my first book 20 years ago on exactly this topic and I am finishing another now. Once people can open their minds to the picture of the vastly larger universe picture I paint, then everyone will begin to see what I have been trying to tell them and show them in all my books, papers, experiments, etc. and they will understand quantum computers and what they can really do, and know without doubt what is beyond this universe and even know what is going on inside a black hole. I have actually seen evidence supported in many diverse ways of exactly what these things are and have to be by the way things work inside the known universe. I devised experimental methods to show it. But no one will listen to any of the evidence because it looks on the surface, before I can show them, impossible. People are absolutely stunningly good at maintaining ignorance of things that don’t fit their interwoven interpretations of how the world works. 😊❤ Anyway, thanks for the talk. It was very interesting 🤔 ❤
Feels like listening to religious discourse, someone living in a tiny planet yet to explore many parts of earth forget solar system presents the "fundamental patterns" of the universe.
Notation: dark matter is five times denser than ordinary matter, and, E = mc**2, implies dark matter has five times the energy content of ordinary matter. Or?
He meant that the total mass of all dark matter on the universe is five times that of ordinary matter. This however has nothing to do with the density. Density in ordinary matter depends on the material so it doesn't make sense to talk about the density of ordinary matter in general. It might even be possible to have different densities of dark matter.
What he calls science "finding the most convincing pattern of interpretation" is what I call politics. Science, to me, is the process of creating novel models/maps/patterns of reality. Not judging them based on some subjective criteria, but in simply generating novel ways of looking at reality. Politics is then the process of judging which models science creates to use for trying to solve specific problems. Then religion is the recording of the best patterns to share with new generations.
@@anotherpointofview222 I accept everything that's real. All patterns are real. All perspectives are real. And each one is unique. Mine is naturally different from any other perspectives and patterns. And the more we share our unique patterns and perspectives, the more we learn about reality as a whole. Cool how that works, huh?
@@thewiseturtle More accurately I should have said, Thank you for not accepting another's pattern (of thought) as your reality, and by your response, I know you would not accept another's reality as Truth. I feel many do, and have adopted other people's "patterns" to construct their reality. Depriving us of the uniqueness I believe we can add to the collective pattern, for the collective good.
That was funny when he said to flip the light switch down it would turn the light on. I said aloud, "Off. Huh?!" Then he said the bit about America (which is where I'm from).
is the cmb diagram showing the view inside the universe? from earth? would it still be the same if viewed from another galaxy? or at an edge of the this universe? would it still be this "uniform"?
@@DrDeuteron But no one has never been to other places other than here on Earth. Further, this is only on this scale and at this time. Are you sure this pattern will remain regardless of viewpoint, magnification and time?
Interesting subject matter, but I'm having problems with the definition of a 'pattern', or rather, Clegg's failure to define what a pattern is. Is the cosmic background radiation a 'pattern' in the same sense that light switches follow a pattern? Are Feynman diagrams 'patterns' in the same sense? Clegg seems to suggest, when he attempts to define a pattern at the beginning of the talk, that 'pattern' means that there is a predictable way in which members of a family of things will behave, or that one thing, over time, will follow predictable behaviours. We call these predictable behaviours, patterns; according to a dictionary, "A pattern is the repeated or regular way in which something happens or is done". But I don't see that we can say that the cosmic background radiation is, or follows, a pattern, unless there are other universes we can compare ours to. According to Clegg, Feynman diagrams record the various possible 'patterns' of particle interactions yet, as he says, the possibilities are endless so these seem to be an infinity of possibilities, with nothing following a 'pattern'. Can someone help me out?
If science is about patterns and its discovery in the physical and natural world, which is such a small part of the universe, then; isn't science missing the rest of the universe to learn from? When science, gets applied outside of the physical/natural, would it begin to see what is claimed to be "reality"?
The contention would be that the physical and natural world are not a small part of the universe, they are the whole universe. You cannot investigate that which there is no evidence for.
@@earendilthebright5402 Well said. As the speaker explained at the beginning of his talk, the patterns being referred to are not some small corner of the physical world, but rather the fact that the universe is in any way consistent at all. In other words, the entire universe can, at bottom, be described in terms of its patterns. Any endeavor which seeks to uncover objective truth must concern itself with the system in question's underlying patterns; for if a system cannot be observed and experimented upon in some consistent manner, what basis is their for study and explanation?
@@sleeplessdev7204 Thankyou for truly understanding my point. It's about burden of proof in some sense. If you tell me there is a fairy in your garden, it is not on me to disprove its existence, rather the onus of proof lies with you to show me it does exist via evidence to some acceptable degree of measurement error.
Interesting thought. I could see helping to promote better pattern recognition and understand pattern relationships. How do you see it getting into explaining the why?
@@anotherpointofview222 what, this lecture presented was a mixed bag. Take as examples, Minskowski diagrammes were to help to visualise Einstein special theory of relativity, particularly the relationship between time and space. The periodic table shows the similarities of different elements but atomic theory explains why each element behaves the way they do.
@@peterg7120 Check. I just finished watching and listening to it. You were right. Just as described. Not easy to take in. The voice and graphics didn't make it easy to take in. Not what I was expecting after his intro. Didn't have any specific expectations. What he proposed to talk about peeked my interest. I guess I was looking more for a theoretical physics/philosophical presentation on the observable patterns and relationships, and how we cognitively process them. He did somewhat. You hit it. It was a mixed bag.
The resolution of a pixel on the Planck satellite is 62,000 Light Years, which is the size of a galaxy. There is a limit to the resolution of stretched (red shifted) light beyond which nothing is discernible. The radius of the observable universe is about 92 billion light years, but the flatness of the observed universe is at least 500 billion light years. Don Lincoln on the Fermilab channel has a great video on this problem.
@@johndef5075 Light is comprised of two components, amplitude (how high the wave is) and wavelength (the distance between the waves of light). The speed of light in spacetime is constant, But a source from far away is going to appear at a longer wavelength because space is expanding. You can see this in the Frauenhofer and Lyman lines in the spectrum. It is akin to the Doppler effect.
~03:47 THAT is the weirdest thing I have ever heard. Light switches. Up = "ON". Down = "OFF" When I want to move, I stand UP and walk. When I wish to stay still, I sit DOWN and remain still. What's more natural than: Up = "ON". Down = "OFF" ??? Light switches are upside-down in BRITAIN, not the US, my friend. 🙂
The light and shadow example is a bad example. That's not pattern of light and shadow we are seeing. Our eyes are designed to relatively adjust the relationship of values in context. Or that phenomenon of seeing black spots in the cross section of lines. It is our eyes designed to perceive light and value in context. If it does not do that, we will not be able to "see".
13 was a baker's dozen. If you want to sell in 12's and call it a dozen then you are cheating the customer, unless you convince the buyers that 13 is unlucky. "That is my story and I'm sticking to it."
Bread is sold by weight. A baker's dozen isn't 13, but 12 + 1, where the 1 is to ensure that that weight is sufficient. It has nothing to do with the number of items being purchased.
here is a pattern; 1-2-4 objects small ones going around a big one like the moons of Jupiter and the planets around the sun, Other pattern equal numbers of small and big planets in our solar system !The mass of the planets approximately 1% of the sun, the mass of electrons in an atom aproximately 1% !!!!

... What's the pattern for disguising a sales pitch as a talk?
Science is survival = 'science is understanding patterns' + 'pattern recognition is survival'
Science = converting perceptual patterns into conceptual patterns
(Translating behavior into symbol)

5:43 -- It might be more accurate to say "the face on Mars" has been damaged than to say it is not there. A smooth surface (over what appears to be a granular substrate) on the the right side of the "face" has been damaged. Why was there a smooth surface over a granular substrate? The transitions in elevation from the flat surface of the planet to the sloping sides of the "face" seem to be distinct. Why are there distinct transitions between smooth surfaces at different slopes?
A great presentation, Dr. Brian Clegg
1:00:56 You misspoke. You said "a whole 120 degrees". You meant "a whole 180 degrees" for rotational symmetry of a rectangle.
Thanks for posting this, extremely interesting and informative. Amazing to hear how Emmy Noether work is accepted as fundamentals. It's fascinating.
The unlucky 13 number superstition originates from ancient Persia (Persepolis 550BC) and the Nowruz celebration of the spring equinox, roughly March 21st. On the 13th day after Nowruz (New day), there's a traditional event called Siz Dah Bedah (translated as 3, 10, throw away) i.e. throw away the 13 because this number 13 was/and still associated with bad luck and all the bad luck of the previous year, and that people pray for a better, new year by discarding the 13 including the knotted grass grown during Nowruz. Why exactly this 13 is unlucky in of itself, though, is a mystery. They say house prices reduce if you're property is 13! I think this is off topic though from the lecture on patterns studied by science, just thought i'd point out a little trivia about 13 as Brain Clegg did mention 13 at the beginning of his presentation...
Hello, I discovered the real and unique commmon pattern between everything, I've done a little documentary on my channel but it's in french (try subtitles maybe). Unfortunately french people are too limited while it's an absolutly major discovery.
As we can't do the same experiment from a none EMF perspective as everything is in fact in a bubbles of an EMFS. We really need to get out into the vacuum. Can we see the voids in the CMB. What do they appear as do we have that information. Im just curious as it looks like when i look at the CMB is all matter is connected and the addition by subtraction is whats actually occurring. Its a great picture in any event. Great video by the way.
Watched all of it 1:06:17
What was the date this talk was presented?
Oh, we missed it out of the description, sorry! It was recorded on 28 September 2021.
First optical illusion: you can also cover all of the screen except squares A and B and see that they are the sake color.
Now imagine someone who just sees this and claims, “One is much darker. I saw it with my own eyes. I know.”
~58:00 Don't get TOO technical. In 'common thinking', mirrors DO 'swap' left/right.
Would you like to see a mirror that 'swaps' top and bottom?
Simply tilt your head 90 degrees to either side, so that one eye is 'above' the other.
Now, the mirror is 'swapping' top and bottom.
If evolution had given us depth perception by placing one eye above the other,
aligned vertically instead of horizontally, then, in 'common thinking',
mirrors would 'swap' top and bottom instead of left and right.
(These ramblings are basically my opinion, arrived at years ago when I was first learning about photography, and the lenses and sometimes mirrors inside cameras that made them work.) It's not hard science, just something I figured out one day when I tilted my head 90 degrees to one side and looked in a mirror and noticed that instead of swapping left and right, my brain told me the mirror was swapping top and bottom. The whole 'left/right' thing happens simply because our stereoscopic vision is achieved with two eyes that are aligned horizontally. We could have just as easily evolved with two eyes aligned vertically. The brain would have given us depth perception just as effectively that way. It only requires two different POV's to create depth perception. HOW the two POV's are actually aligned makes no difference. Your depth perception doesn't disappear simply because you tilt your head 90 degrees to one side.
But mirrors look funny for just a second when you look at them that way! 🙂🙂🙂
3:45 - Mind blown.
39:23 Names give meaning.
I appreciate this talk, but science is not about patterns and routines at all. It’s about distillation of universal principles behind diverse phenomena. The message behind the “words” of every day events that transcends those events in ways that connect them to other events. In this way we see that science is the progressive unification of the events such as lightning and the spark when you rub your feet on the carpet and touch metal. Epistemologically, it is important to make that clear. Because the way that works itself is a general principle behind things we only see through those things. Another important point that differentiates science is that we theorize to try to make our models conform to actual reality. When we do that, we can extend the successful theory into new areas and project what will be found such as missing “holes” in the logic of the periodic table. The logic of it allows prediction. We can never go into the sun and experimentally test it, but we can know what is on there by extending general universal principles and combining it with what we do know. Anyway, my background is in epistemology and if we do not think about the patterns of how information and symbols work in the universe, then we will miss a huge area of discovery, technology, and future inquiry which seems to me to be absolutely vital to our survival. That’s why I wrote my first book 20 years ago on exactly this topic and I am finishing another now. Once people can open their minds to the picture of the vastly larger universe picture I paint, then everyone will begin to see what I have been trying to tell them and show them in all my books, papers, experiments, etc. and they will understand quantum computers and what they can really do, and know without doubt what is beyond this universe and even know what is going on inside a black hole. I have actually seen evidence supported in many diverse ways of exactly what these things are and have to be by the way things work inside the known universe. I devised experimental methods to show it. But no one will listen to any of the evidence because it looks on the surface, before I can show them, impossible. People are absolutely stunningly good at maintaining ignorance of things that don’t fit their interwoven interpretations of how the world works. 😊❤ Anyway, thanks for the talk. It was very interesting 🤔 ❤
Question time?
Feels like listening to religious discourse, someone living in a tiny planet yet to explore many parts of earth forget solar system presents the "fundamental patterns" of the universe.
The umbrellas on the number line is because the number isn't infinite as it's 1, only that it's infinitely divided. :-)
Knew how we are convinced by the observation and experiment and then we interpret
Notation: dark matter is five times denser than ordinary matter, and, E = mc**2, implies dark matter has five times the energy content of ordinary matter. Or?
He meant that the total mass of all dark matter on the universe is five times that of ordinary matter. This however has nothing to do with the density. Density in ordinary matter depends on the material so it doesn't make sense to talk about the density of ordinary matter in general. It might even be possible to have different densities of dark matter.
Your example of 'Quantum Reflection' is not quantum, It's classical electrodynamics. That the same thing would happen with electrons is quantum.
What he calls science "finding the most convincing pattern of interpretation" is what I call politics. Science, to me, is the process of creating novel models/maps/patterns of reality. Not judging them based on some subjective criteria, but in simply generating novel ways of looking at reality. Politics is then the process of judging which models science creates to use for trying to solve specific problems. Then religion is the recording of the best patterns to share with new generations.
Thank you for not accepting the given pattern.
@@anotherpointofview222 I accept everything that's real. All patterns are real. All perspectives are real. And each one is unique. Mine is naturally different from any other perspectives and patterns. And the more we share our unique patterns and perspectives, the more we learn about reality as a whole. Cool how that works, huh?
@@thewiseturtle
More accurately I should have said, Thank you for not accepting another's pattern (of thought) as your reality, and by your response, I know you would not accept another's reality as Truth.
I feel many do, and have adopted other people's "patterns" to construct their reality. Depriving us of the uniqueness I believe we can add to the collective pattern, for the collective good.
How are there "many more natural numbers than squares (49:04)" when, in fact, there are actually the same amount; an infinity of both?
That was funny when he said to flip the light switch down it would turn the light on. I said aloud, "Off. Huh?!" Then he said the bit about America (which is where I'm from).
is the cmb diagram showing the view inside the universe? from earth? would it still be the same if viewed from another galaxy? or at an edge of the this universe? would it still be this "uniform"?
I think its been already thought upon, and was taken into account in their results.
Yes
@@DrDeuteron But no one has never been to other places other than here on Earth. Further, this is only on this scale and at this time. Are you sure this pattern will remain regardless of viewpoint, magnification and time?
Well not time, the universe changes size.
Interesting subject matter, but I'm having problems with the definition of a 'pattern', or rather, Clegg's failure to define what a pattern is. Is the cosmic background radiation a 'pattern' in the same sense that light switches follow a pattern? Are Feynman diagrams 'patterns' in the same sense? Clegg seems to suggest, when he attempts to define a pattern at the beginning of the talk, that 'pattern' means that there is a predictable way in which members of a family of things will behave, or that one thing, over time, will follow predictable behaviours. We call these predictable behaviours, patterns; according to a dictionary, "A pattern is the repeated or regular way in which something happens or is done". But I don't see that we can say that the cosmic background radiation is, or follows, a pattern, unless there are other universes we can compare ours to. According to Clegg, Feynman diagrams record the various possible 'patterns' of particle interactions yet, as he says, the possibilities are endless so these seem to be an infinity of possibilities, with nothing following a 'pattern'. Can someone help me out?
Patterns mean it is there by design, DUDE!!
nope
If science is about patterns and its discovery in the physical and natural world, which is such a small part of the universe, then; isn't science missing the rest of the universe to learn from? When science, gets applied outside of the physical/natural, would it begin to see what is claimed to be "reality"?
The contention would be that the physical and natural world are not a small part of the universe, they are the whole universe. You cannot investigate that which there is no evidence for.
@@earendilthebright5402 Well said. As the speaker explained at the beginning of his talk, the patterns being referred to are not some small corner of the physical world, but rather the fact that the universe is in any way consistent at all. In other words, the entire universe can, at bottom, be described in terms of its patterns. Any endeavor which seeks to uncover objective truth must concern itself with the system in question's underlying patterns; for if a system cannot be observed and experimented upon in some consistent manner, what basis is their for study and explanation?
@@sleeplessdev7204 Thankyou for truly understanding my point. It's about burden of proof in some sense. If you tell me there is a fairy in your garden, it is not on me to disprove its existence, rather the onus of proof lies with you to show me it does exist via evidence to some acceptable degree of measurement error.
Patterns tell us certain things are related in nature, and scientific models help to explain why the pattern occur.
wrong. they seek more generalized patterns. The why question is outside of science.
Interesting thought. I could see helping to promote better pattern recognition and understand pattern relationships. How do you see it getting into explaining the why?
@@anotherpointofview222 what, this lecture presented was a mixed bag. Take as examples, Minskowski diagrammes were to help to visualise Einstein special theory of relativity, particularly the relationship between time and space. The periodic table shows the similarities of different elements but atomic theory explains why each element behaves the way they do.
@@peterg7120
Check. I just finished watching and listening to it. You were right. Just as described. Not easy to take in. The voice and graphics didn't make it easy to take in. Not what I was expecting after his intro. Didn't have any specific expectations. What he proposed to talk about peeked my interest. I guess I was looking more for a theoretical physics/philosophical presentation on the observable patterns and relationships, and how we cognitively process them.
He did somewhat. You hit it. It was a mixed bag.
please tell me the whistling stops
All those pretty colors at the back of a DVD or CD is called Holographic Foil.
We don't put light switches upside down, you probably just found a 3-way switch that happened to be down when the light is on.
Tomonaga’s given name is actually “Shinichiro”, but he was using a strange transliteration system, which has now fallen out of favour.
Patterns of thought.
I tired. I wanted too. But I couldn't last.
The resolution of a pixel on the Planck satellite is 62,000 Light Years, which is the size of a galaxy. There is a limit to the resolution of stretched (red shifted) light beyond which nothing is discernible. The radius of the observable universe is about 92 billion light years, but the flatness of the observed universe is at least 500 billion light years. Don Lincoln on the Fermilab channel has a great video on this problem.
I still dont understand red shifts. I always heard that light appeared the same speed same no matter the observer.
@@johndef5075 Light is comprised of two components, amplitude (how high the wave is) and wavelength (the distance between the waves of light). The speed of light in spacetime is constant, But a source from far away is going to appear at a longer wavelength because space is expanding. You can see this in the Frauenhofer and Lyman lines in the spectrum. It is akin to the Doppler effect.
why are chores so much easier when listening to stuff like this
The number 13 is unlucky because it is the number of steps in a staircase, down which people can and do fall,
the pattern of persisting illusion is why i backed off of game theory to enter materialist void in math aware
~03:47 THAT is the weirdest thing I have ever heard. Light switches.
Up = "ON". Down = "OFF" When I want to move, I stand UP and walk. When I wish to stay still, I sit DOWN and remain still. What's more natural than: Up = "ON". Down = "OFF" ???
Light switches are upside-down in BRITAIN, not the US, my friend. 🙂
...twice of the diameter of the solar system... mind blown. Also, DNA has error correction.
A zoo has patterns too, groups of animals like...big cats, reptiles, fish, and so on. Just as the groups of elements in the Periodic Table
No Penrose pattern or golden triangle?
The light and shadow example is a bad example. That's not pattern of light and shadow we are seeing. Our eyes are designed to relatively adjust the relationship of values in context. Or that phenomenon of seeing black spots in the cross section of lines. It is our eyes designed to perceive light and value in context. If it does not do that, we will not be able to "see".
13 was a baker's dozen. If you want to sell in 12's and call it a dozen then you are cheating the customer, unless you convince the buyers that 13 is unlucky. "That is my story and I'm sticking to it."
Bread is sold by weight. A baker's dozen isn't 13, but 12 + 1, where the 1 is to ensure that that weight is sufficient. It has nothing to do with the number of items being purchased.
@@crinolynneendymion8755 So, 12 + 1 isn't 13. I never knew that. Just picking. Good argument, but the way you worded it was worth a chuckle.
What is da ptern in 3x minus 1 if oneven and x2 if even..
here is a pattern; 1-2-4 objects small ones going around a big one like the moons of Jupiter and the planets around the sun, Other pattern equal numbers of small and big planets in our solar system !The mass of the planets approximately 1% of the sun, the mass of electrons in an atom aproximately 1% !!!!
The pigeons were shot!!! OMG!!
