“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Only a real player in the game shows up in the 4th quarter emerged from scorched water. I see you but how is it that u saw me before I did. The answer is this you guys are ahead of time somehow . And read minds all the time constantly using the consortium. It should be earned
Sadly it's not .
It would be easier to erase their memory, or make them vanish into oblivion. I tell my wife, if I ever figure it out, I will likely disappear without a trace.... unless the Alphabets get me first...😂
It has. It started with the Dream Time, then it shifted into a plate supported on the back of four elephants being carried across the universe on the back of a tortoise. Then came the crystal spheres, then the sun centered solar system, then Einstein, them quantum stuff. It keeps getting more complicated in order to keep us busy.
He was also accurate in predicting that we will end up just making documentaries about each other. And AI will be really, really annoying.
Fortunately for all of us there is a government program for that but I will have to forward you to a government agency I have forgotten the name of to help you. God, I love paying taxes.
Anton and John back to back, what a time to be alive
Hello wonderfull person :D
I know it, I love both of them!!!
they should do a collab video
Agreed 😊
Is the end a reference to two minute papers?
1:20 the dangerous Higgs Boson
4:18 the incomprehensible inflaton
6:21 weakly interacting particles
9:51 even weaker than gravity
11:05 the sterile neutrino
12:35 dark photons
14:04 axions
15:27 the leptoquark
16:53 the quantum mind
And this needs to be in the description. Thanks.
You missed one
Thanks
I know what John's narration reminds me of! When I grew up in Toronto we had a planetarium (now defunct), and I attended it numerous times. As we laid back in the specially-built seats and stared up as the stellar landscape, the guy running the show would narrate in a calm, comforting voice. It was almost as if he was trying his best to simply be an accompanyment to the show, not the focal point, and speaking in any other manner would be an affront to the heavens. All right Godier, for bringing back those memories I'm going to get one of your books. Supermind, I think, unless somebody has a different idea.
Also grew up in Toronto, my mother has great memories of the planetarium. Big ups 👍🏼
I've been thinking about the one and only planetarium I visited as a child. When I finally get my own house, I am thinking a fully adjustable and reclining chair and an upward-facing projector (hooked up to a pc with universe sandbox) might do the trick....
His sign off gets me every time. In Which we Liiiiveee
Can’t wait to sit down and pop my ear buds in and listen to this one later
You know that matey . Ive got a blindfold head band with speakers for bedtime. Telling you top 10s playlist random and repeat . Never gets old and you soon become a local expert on the subject matter. Just great education too and easy to digest.
It's a good one for sure
How is it that I can hardly understand anything that he is talking about, yet I'm still so interested?
On a quantum level you understand what you're viewing while viewing it, when not viewing it you're stuck in a perpetual state of fluctuating between knowing and not knowing. Or something far simpler and more likely. One of those two lol.
Consider studying physics. It's a million time more exciting to rediscover the whole humanity's knowledge of it, and this is exactly what you do while learning. You'll be Archimedes, then Galileo, then Newton...
@Cy "kkm" K'Nelson I always enjoy reading your posts, but this one was succinctly beautiful. Eratosthenes measuring earth so long ago, Maxwell, Einstein. Science is the greatest adventure of humanity and best of all it can be relived as you say through studying its history and how our understanding came to be.
@@cykkm I understand physics on a basic level, I would have loved to have been able to study it on a higher level, but financial support just wasn't there so I've tried my best to educate myself as much as possible. I find JMGs works extremely fascinating and quite educational.. even if a lot of it is considered sci fi. I still think he's probably spot on on a lot of his theories.
@@JohnMichaelGodier 😊 _(Blushes.)_ Oh, I never expected to receive such an accolade from you, John, thank you, it really warmed my heart.
People are more curious animals than even cats. The curiosity to explain. Every human culture has creation myths about the Earth and the heavens. When I see on YT or Twitter that people are curious and suddenly halt as if at a barrier, or, more often, get an illusion of knowledge, I feel an ethical obligation to give a push to the former or strongly disillusion the latter. I know I'm shifting sand against the tide, but maybe, just maybe, if I make one single fellow human being who's genuinely curious about science to make that step, and then give a similar impetus to others, I'll start a self-sustaining chain. If I would convince two, I'll make it exponentially-growing. I sound like an idealist. But, after studying W.K.Clifford's ethics and learning about his epistemic responsibility, what should I do next-shelve it to the dusty ceiling of my mind, and use it to sound smarter than I am at a party? No point, not my thing, albeit I see it quite often. Every theory of ethics-and ethics is part of the philosophy of knowledge!-comes with moral, the practical adherence to it. If I buy his theory, I can't help but act according to it. So... am I an _informed idealist?_ 🤓
I'm terrified by the thought of one or, possibly, two step that have been missed by every complex society before our current one, the reason why scientific and technological humanity may be even more alone in the Universe. There were so many highly developed civilizations in the past, with their highest art, philosophy, astronomy: Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese, Islamic Golden Age, which preserved Greeks for the Westerners when they forgot the language... “The fall of civilizations” podcast has a few dozen episodes already and counting (and I has been an ardent student of everything Roman for good 20 years, from the semi-mythical founding of Rome to its sad end). Not a single one of these civilizations developed science as an epistemic mode. Ionian Greeks come close once, tho; this gives me some hope. Our “Western,” in a wide sense, civilization is also a sample of one. We perceive both science and technology, which is in fact only science's, ehm... droppings, as a given. (Most people even in tech have a misconception that the goal of science is to produce technology.)
What if that's another step that is not taken? You said that humans have been technological since they dug out and split suitable stones and attached them to sticks; I don't share that view. (BTW, I didn't comprehend the intricacy of toolmaking achieved by the biologically modern human societies of the Ice Age before I came across Brian Fagan's _Cro-magnon._ There had also been a sharp cultural explosion in H. Sapiens some ~50kya, which is attributed to the development of language, although that's speculative.) Mine sets a higher bar: we've become technological with the industrial revolution. When our civilization will have gone down-and so far, all, without exception, have-will those who come after us be scientific and technological? I'm seeing another filter on the way to what we call “alien civilizations,” in a different sense of the word. What if Attic pinnacle of art and philosophy is closer to the norm, and Western science, which arose only once in history, is a freaky accident? And, there's another step up taken for granted: technological explosion as a byproduct of science. But is technology inevitably caused by science? Seems likely, but.. Science's only real goal is science itself. Science seems to need technology: after a few decades of constructing particle accelerators, we've likely hit the wall-Higgs' confirmed, SuSy, in any sensible form, dead, Planck scale unachievable. A bleep in history, and we _happened_ to have the tech. We now want space-based instruments to observe processes in the Universe so energetic that they're unthinkable to produce in a lab. But this is still anthropocentric; we shoot them up into orbit because of our opaque atmosphere. But phosphorus-based, oxygen redox is not the only biochemistry even on Earth. Someone with sulfur-based energy storage and transport, evolved on a planet with barely any atmosphere and extracting energy from thermal gradients on their planet may not need to put their instruments into orbit. And, being an autothroph, he has no fear of hunger, the biggest ever driver for human development. Longing for power and wealth is another, but that is not necessary for intelligence either: our natural ancestry, strictly hierarchically organized primate troops, aggressively held together by their alphas is possibly not the only path to higher intelligence. (And we're kinda lucky: had we descended from a more baboon-minded ancestor, we would have probably still used intelligence for wars and raids on neighbors alone, possibly with stone axes to this day-ain't anyone got time for that invention.) If the planet is in 1:1 resonance with the star, like most should be, there's only a narrow terminator that is livable; no desire to travel places within own world: the sights are all the same, no point; and this may translate into the lack of even an idea of to travel to other worlds. Science may be so wonderful in itself that it may keep one busy, satisfying his curiosity for lifetime. A planet of sedentary scientists, descended from non-social, non-competitive loner autothrops, connected with a naturally co-evolved underground “internet” of symbiotic fungi: how's that? Why would they need technology at the scale we use it? Not a very strong argument, just a case to consider whether tech and science are as inseparable as we accept without much though. They may be separate filters.
The linear upward development of humanity, so-called “progress,” is a Western myth-we have our myths too, like any culture/civilization before us had; in reality, it has been a long chain of ups and downs, knowledge lost and rediscovered, lost again and rediscovered again. What our civilization has achieved, for the first time in history ever, is both unprecedented and unfathomable. Poincare was probably the last person in our civilization who knew it all, and only in mathematics and physics, while knowing all that which the civilization knew was the norm for an educated Attic philosopher or an Islamic Golden Age polymath. But we've been technological _sensu primo_ for less than 250 years. Without evidence, I can't add “and forever from now on.” What terrifies me when I overdose on coffee to jitters, is whether intelligence's becoming scientific and then technological is only a freaky temporary accident even on this planet.
We're not “just another primate,” as Sapolsky brilliantly shows, but we are primates indeed, with all the innate conflicting impulses to submit to alpha's authority and to overthrow alpha's authority. Unlike the baboons, we are wired with circuits that _potentially_ control these impulses and _can learn_ to use them. I would worry less if more people understood science and fewer believed in QAnon (quite possibly, it's the TV and not nuclear weapons that has been the most dangerous use of technology: nukes are in trained hands, but everybody has been allowed to plop their tired body into a comfy chair and relax before the screen without a mandatory 3-month-long mental hygiene training). I'm not a sage: where we are now has no reference to compare with in the past, not even close. But it's dangerous to unlearn who we really are, for we are really dangerous to what we think of ourselves. Going back the full circle, I'm convinced that more education never hurts a society. But what can I do...
Oh. Brevity is not among my merits...
Problem: *exists*
Scientists: Lets slap a field on it
Scientists explaining a pizza: It's an excitation in the pizza-field.
Seems to work
Would it be a super-position pizza, all toppings all at once, until you open the box?
11. The Quantum Fart - If you smelt it, you dealt it. To this day, a mystery.
If they do find a new particle, I hope they name it the Cruton .
Crunchy!
I asked the Universe just what it could do, once upon a time. It printed out a piece of paper for me. It said: "I can do whatever I want."
You have been busy lately, love your content. You did a great job concisely and accurately covering these difficult subjects, congratulations.
I hope people realize how great of a job JMG does bringing this content to the masses
Another great presentation John. Thank you for keeping our minds active.
One of the best episodes ever, thanks JMG !
Listening to this wonderful person talk is like therapy for me. Perfect relaxation.
Awesome stuff man. Super complicated stuff made pretty easy to understand. You’re fighting the good fight
JMG top 10s are undefeated.
Fascinating overview. I would have liked to know more about the oddities of the strong force interacting with anti-quarks and the symmetry of neutrons. These are problems I've not heard of before.
Well Mr. Godier, it's not even Halloween yet but you've managed to give me goosebumps this beautiful Spring morning. Cheers!
Just wanted to say thanks for all the event horizon videos John, your doing a good job and like others do enjoy listening as I drift off to sleep.
Just what I needed after getting this new job and working all week, thanks Mr JMG much love man
Great as always JMG! Thank you!
Nice, love when a JMG or EH video drop right before I walk the dog. Listening to them while on walks keeps me mindful and curious.
As opposed to paying attention to your surroundings. Good idea...
Who's EH?
@@nomorerainbows yeah because no one listens to anything when they go for a walk or drive... 🙄
@@nomorerainbows you're right bro tell them libs
@@y5mgisi EH: Event Horizon. Another channel created by JMG. Also excellent.
Just see this pop up my FAVOURITE playlist in the whole wide universe I suppose multiverse even and my favourite science and physics subject . Its like you listen to my thoughts JMG . Just off to beddy byes too so this is first up tonight . Thanks so very much.
I love listening to a new a exciting episode from JMG!!! Thank you!!!
I adore you and your channels! By far my favorite channel on TH-cam. Thanks for making my day yet again. Blessings and abundance to you, John💯🌏🦾🙏🍀
I’ve always learned a whole lot more on this channel, than I ever did in school.
If you watched this and are not subscribed please do so. This dude should have a million subscribers easily.
When I see a new download from John it's good day.
+John Michael godier; I just wanted to thank you, for making some of the more esoteric parts of science much easier (and clearer) to understand.
2:15 Fun thing about magnetic fields -- these are vector fields, so, effectively, you are always only ever in _one._ The thing the magnetic field cares about, in a sense, is the relative orientation of two objects in terms of their charge distributions -- it tries to make these things point the same way. The magnetic field at any given location can only point in a single direction; this is like saying there is only one answer to where the nearest concentration of charge is -- the magnetic field for any given distribution of charges is a well-defined, _unique_ solution. This is why magnetic fields form domains of smooth, continuously varying field direction.
Because these fields can't intersect or overlap, they are able to push and pull on one another at a distance, at the speed of light, and the resulting field lines conform to the potential energy gradient between charge concentrations.
What this means: for all of its (spooky) anisotropy, if you will forgive a slight anthropomorphization, this one part of the universe cares _very much_ which direction you're looking in.
I always watch your videos 3 times haha once to fall asleep, another time to try an comprehend, and the third time to fully grasp the subject matter 😂
I think that's most of us 😅
But that's ok it gives him more views 😊
It's almost as if someone *designed* the joint for us. :)
I love that I got here so early, but I have to save this video for when I do the dishes later tonight ❤️
Love your work!❤
Truly amazing video, John! Thanks a bunch!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I run a bowling alley called Bowlski's in El Jebel in Aspen valley and I'm just stoked you threw in a bowling reference! Thanks you rock!
The quantum mind has every element needed to start a religion. It basically sounds like describing a god.
Maybe that's all religion really is, an ancient understanding of the quantum consciousness put into words, but meanings of the words change and/or are forgotten.
That is a very interesting take, thank you for the brain food
Yeah except its nonsense. Observing something with instruments without consciousness also works in fixing the state or position of something so the whole idea about consciousness presented here is nonsense.
Oh, yes!!!!! My favorite subject!!! Thank you, John!
I hate when I order a pizza, and right when I open the box, quantum fluctuations happen and it turns into a tentacle monster, and then the pizza delivery man starts stripping, and then a police officer arrives and tells me I'm under arrest.
Don't worry. That's just the content with which your Boltzmann brain came into existence. There is no pizza, tentacle monster, policeman or any nude delivery guys. And there is no me commenting on this either. Just your brain.
Look I don't care how it tastes, I'm just glad that I finally get to eat some quantum pizza
I finally observed the release of a new video by JMG from the first minute of uploading!
Thank you for all that you do sir John Michael Godier
One of my favorite topics rewatched it. And glad I did
What got me back here was the livvee I herd on today's video.
Well done. Good summary
There is an idea in some Buddhist schools of thought that science should not be studied as it leads to endless distractions. To this I have said that we are supposed to help others end their own suffering and science can be a tool whereby future generations can lessen their sufferings. I wonder though if there will be some point at which studying the quantum world will become an endless distraction or will concrete benefits be brought out which help people end suffering.
When you are literally eating pizza right now. It's almost as if JMG has been observing me 😂😂👀👀
"Pizzas are not subject to many quantum effects" - That's quite a relief!
Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
One thing that confuses me about inflation (lots of other things do to, but let's stick with this one)
We know the age of the universe by back calculating the current expansion of the universe; and re-winding it as it were. But that calculation surely assumes the rate of expansion was constant. If we have a period of massive inflation, unless we know exactly how fast that was and its duration, I don't see how we can extrapolate the age of the universe from what we see now.
I appreciate far cleverer people than me are totally on board with inflation, and that it's a good expansion for the homogenous nature of the universe, so there must be an answer; but could anyone be kind enough to explain it to me as one might a moderately intelligent golden retriever?
The hyperinflationary period is a hypothetical period after the big bang, but before what physicists can observe.
You are right that inflation being consistent is a assumption. Physics uses that assumption because assuming counter to it would not be helpful. If we assume inflation has not been consistent, we can't draw any conclusions at all. It works much the same way as the assumption we are conscious or have free will. It's just not helpful to assume otherwise.
The inflationary epoch lasted from 10**-36s to 10**-33 or 32 s, so it’s not a big change to 13.8By
Where's your ball? Heres your ball. Get your ball. Good boy.
The world's best pizza is in Anchorage, Alaska. Muldoon Pizza.
I can't thank you enough for unraveling the secrets of the universe through your videos. Your dedication to spreading knowledge is truly admirable.
Had a really good time listening to this!
2:14 Great. I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out...
"you can only take it as far as the evidence". Great audible quote.
Dark atoms and dark chemistry… now there's something I want to see explored in sci-fi!
Thank you for the work you do
I've always found it funny that weakly interacting matter is called WIMP. Kinda like me in high-school
There's also MACHOs - MAssive Compact Halo Objects. Mostly discredited at this point.
There are also MAssive Compact Halo Objects, ~ MACHOs
And RAMBO…. Robust accumulations of massive baryonic objects
Love this topic and how trippy it is.
Best content on the galactic interwebs
Never been this early, love your channel man, greetings from Ireland
"11. I never knew that the universe is constantly expanding. It's mind-blowing!
"
Good vid. Too many people butcher the quantum stuff and interpret it falsely or fantastically. Though, I'm not surprised. All your stuff is well-educated/researched.
My question is, could the Higgs field be the answer to the Inflaton issue as well? Basically, in the earlier universe it bogged everything down less? Perhaps due to some half-life of the Higgs Boson, or some sort? Possibly even just acting that way due to the high energy state of the early universe?
1. The dangerous Higgs boson
2. The incomprehensible inflaton
3. Weakly interacting particles
4. The undetectable graviton
5. Even weaker than gravity
6. The sterile neutrino
7. Dark photons
8. Axions
9. The leptoquark
10. The quantum mind
Thank you the quick list my friend!
I'd really like to learn more about the competition to string theory
It’s string theory. That’s the problem with it. There were a bunch of different version, then they realized they were all the same, so that string theory can predict anything, when it was founded it was believed it would predict everythin (eg the 40 or so parameters in the standard model)
Awesome. Love the videos. Thanks alot
Love these videos 🤯
Awesome channel John! 🤓👍💭
awesome, new JMG video
I love these looks at deeply weird quantum effects!
The background music is incredible.
I'd love it if someone opens a food service called "Quantum Pizza" because of this episode
You could hand out empty boxes or serve empty plates and tell the customers that their pizza exists, it's just that it exist between here and the farthest away point in the universe. But a clever customer would give you no money and use your argument against you.
You forgot to add the biggest mystery of all.
Is mayonnaise a instrument?
Superb as always..livvvvveeeee
The closer had me taken aback.😁
I bet it really cool to be smart. I think I understood the word THE. I have tried wrapping my mind around things like this. You guys talk about science so passionately. I’d like that. I’m sure the content was awesome. It had pretty colors and flashing lights. That was fun.
I like the pictures...
If you got to hear about these things at length and in context, they’d be understandable, but no less amazing. You need to learn some Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism… then particle physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, then finally quantum field theory. You can learn the ideas without the math, but learning the math will made it more believable because you can follow the derivations.
"Quantum mechanic is weird"
-JMG
"You're weird"
-Quantum mechanics
*Round one....fight*
The last one seems the most intriguing because it's the source of all our experience. The philosopher Bernardo Kastrup even calls the universe as Mind at Large
Observing something with instruments without consciousness also works in fixing the state or position of something so the whole idea about consciousness presented here is nonsense
@@enterthevoidIi So its just measuring thats at play right? I mean technically even if its observed with instruments only some conscious being has to look at those results at some point, so technically there is still a consciousness involved at some point but yes its not necessarily related whatsoever
I'm under the impression that we are no better then the Egyptians looking at the stars and seeing gods. Our understanding of dark matter and the universe is so underwhelmingly understood that we are still thinking the earth is flat in comparison to what actually is, the complexity is so far beyond our understanding that we simply can't grasp the idea of what we are looking at.
The perfect accompaniment to Advance Wars: Reboot Camp. : ) 💥
Chaos is like the # of unique ways you can crease a sheet of paper by folding it, order is like the # of ways you can symmetrically fold the sheet into a bird ( symmetrical because minimal diffusion occurs in 1 dimensional, opposite directions like strand, with segments that oscillate like beads, with enough pressure one can interlock a pattern that take times to untangled in a value that takes into account the inverse square model, mainly proof of reaching temporary Singularity of a different kind before the emergence of strand in question
holy crap, I never knew about the higgs tunneling that, that's intense. i'm about to go down some serious alice holes here.
I knew about it and yes it's as scary as JMG implies. It's called vacuum decay.
@@lightyagami3492 What's so scary about it? It's an instantaneous transition, you wouldn't even notice that you no longer exist. Besides, it's (a) only a speculative hypothesis, without any evidence for or against, and (b) extremely improbable even if true, given quite a senior age of the Universe. Physics as usual. When we have no new data, we continue churning out maths, otherwise we'd get bored…
Heh, alice holes..
Leave Alice alone, and go down a rabbit hole.
This reminded me of LEXX
OK the outro 'just kidding' freaked me out the first time I heard it
Gah! I needed the liiiiiiiiiiiive! 😊
ive been an astronomy nerd since i was like 6 years old and stuff like this just never gets old for me. im not a nerd by any other means, i fuckin hated school and im not knowledgeable in really any subjects whatsoever, but space and quantum physics are different. theyre too far interesting to be ignored
Didn't know I needed a new religion. Thanks Quantum Mysticism
You should do a vid on how we could possibly communicate with the universe simulator
I’m thinking that, what we are learning is mostly how much we don’t know and how clueless we are. We flail for theories that explain mysteries but I suspect we are viewing the universe through a keyhole and may never know, at least in this life. By the way, I’ve started Supermind. Captivating so far!
I don't really go all in on reductive physicalism, but this was interesting content. P.S. You remind me of the "Good Idea, Bad Idea" narrator from the Animaniacs.
That pizza explanation was a PHENOMENAL analogy for superposition - you have a gift for taking bizarre and complex concepts and bringing them to those of us non-scientists!
And now I'm craving pizza...
Excellent.... thanks.
Another mind- bender thank you
Well actually there are certain, equally valid, interpretations of QM that state the superposition/wavefunction is not real and everything is fully deterministic, but non local effects are real, such as with pilot wave or many worlds.
Was making me some lunch when watching this video. And realized another unsolved mystery: Why is the a cheese curl in my oat meal? Did Highs put it there? Cheese curls are definitely associated with the Higgs boson since it is evident you gain mass when you consume them.
Or perhaps did it just appear out of nothing and the anti-cheese curl has drifted away. Now, last weekend I suffered some food poison after having eaten a bunch of cheese curls. Perhaps the anti-cheese curl had ended up among those? That would explain me spending most of my time last Saturday night at the toilet doing some fission.
"In which we liive - just kidding." Yeah... I KNOW what you're doing mister! You woke me up with this deviation from the liiiive routine lol. I guess no one knows your trolling bec. everyone is deeply sleeping until they reach the end xD.
Well I liked the background music .
Regarding the last point I feel like there is confusion between the more mysterious part, the conciousness itself and the things very likely done by biology forming our psyche, moods, the voice in your head reading this, directing "our" actions and so on.
I feel like there is a good case for conciousness itself, that being the percieving point that experiences our lives, to be something more we have yet to understand, maybe even something fundamental. But that is mostly because it is just so weird and unneccessary for there to be an actual percieving point present in our mind judging by what I understand of our scientifical understanding.
