      The notion of the public and of TV are in flux for certain, but we do have platforms like this site, and others like tik tok where well-meaning people who want to spread Turok et al's greatest presentations can be empowered to 'evangelize.'

      The media is owned by interests whose primary goal is to make money out of public, and as such these great minds don't make make any penny for them, hence we watch Pawn Stars, Kardashians, Taylor Swift etc., individually they don't add any value to our life, but make us not feel bored or feel fakely connected to something while living our terrible life.

    I only repeat what other people have already said here. This is one of the most lucid and beautiful lectures I have ever listened to. His graphics and videos were stunning and a great help in moving understanding forward in a subject difficult for laymen like myself to grapple with. Compliments also to the audience who one could see were all seemingly composed of academics and skilled thinkers who sat in pin-drop silence from beginning to end. This lecture and its audience defined for me what is finest in the intellectual persuits and achievements of the human race.

    I am grateful that TH-cam posted this video my way. Very simple language used for very complex theories.
    In our Vedic Sanatan philosophy time is cyclic in nature. It says the Big Roar was the start of creation and the present creation is the 84th in existence.
    The Puzzle "why matter is more abundant than anti-matter" was something that made my ears prick up. Cause I had written a science assignment for my 10th class in 1965 and had written "antimatter in its separate space would be as stable as matter". I joined IIT KGP for Applied Maths. Later became a social activist working with Tribals. A checkered life, no complaints. Agnostic - yes I am. Seeking with an open mind. Thank you for reading my doodle. 🕉️🙏

    There was obviously rules like if you changed your name you’d have to keep it for atleast 1 year, or if you had a child & named him Turok- you’d have to send in the birth certificate etc etc. don’t know if he was apart of this, would be cool though!

      No mystery with a new model. Still bound by faith in.. math of the undefined. This theoretical moment in time is impossible, and the Planck uncertainty limit is because our extremes of visibility going both ways.. optics.. inverse of the optics is both advancements in essentially both directions.
      Already been modeled in a new way that anyone who wants to equate in terms used now.. cant start to talk about things in a new way.
      But if you throw out every assumption.
      If you want it to work.. QUANTA ? FREAKING QUANTA
      You cannot use infinity in your math. And you can NOT USE NON INTEGER assumptions.
      But you can model this entire reality with the kind of computing power that is opposite to what the experience of life in this universe tells you. Thats far too big. It cant be conceptualized. Well.. not with such massive assumptions and ignoring the elephant over and over. Simplicity ? elegant model without particles... ok it works.. but.. so god is a computer ? or I am an AI or some shit ?
      People just get lost here...
      All in good time. Its beyond easy. And the old model will die instantly in your own.. shameful realisation. It really was completely wrong.. maybe you are just dreaming.. ahh head hurts ?
      All in good time :-) undeniable except for "in denial". Logic has to be obeyed. Your model of reality is not == reality. Your model of reality says.. something is wrong.

Furthermore, the more knowledge in general that is uncovered, a greater number of unanswered questions arise: Curiosity and enquiry; theory and observation.

    Thank you Professor Turok. If I intuit you algebraic explanation for i2 = -1 It infers that The Absolute implicate location is omni locational. Its location is the Quantum of the Bell Curve between the Two directions of the created creation. The continuations or continuous between future and past, Dual Universes.
    You are correct, simplicity. I think we may both appreciate the simplicity that takes place at Point: 9 [(9:0) - (9:1)] Nine belongs to both sides and the binary of the One and Zero is sheared between the two. Between the sheared functionality of the unity between the symbiotic of the two/both Universes.
    Who would have thought the functional opposing natures of the left brain and the right brain of Mind would tern out to be such a close mirror and catalyst for revealing the natrure of the truth and the solution.

      I´m happy to mention that the mere gravitational physics Paradigm is about to leave the podium. The big bang model, black hole, dark matter, dark energy, "loneliness of empty space" universe is obsolete. This began with Wilhelm Weber in the 1850´s, went also thru nobel price winner Hannes Alfven on the Record, as well as many others, and is called the Electric Universe Theory. I tried to debunk it to my self, having held lectures about the "settled science" model, but after some time, not long, the EU (Electric Universe Theory) just won in every way. Give it some contemplation and these kind of lectures here seem rather funny. Sophisticated, well funded, colossal fallacies! But that is the nature of science, isnt it? The big problem today is the special interest of where the funding comes from ...

    After 50 years of trying to understand planks constant, I get a clear picture in a 30 second, or less, description from this guy. LOL! How did all those teachers I had fail to explain it? I think they did not understand it. You cannot explain what you do not understand. Anyway, thank you very much for the clarity. It illuminated so much of what I could not understand about light. He even got me close to understanding, I think, that the space-time “grid” around matter is bent by the gravity created by the matter, not that the warped grid IS gravity. The warped grid picture just shows how things entering the warped field behave around matter. Hence the search for the “gravity” particle becomes logical. I have a degree in Radiation and Nuclear Technology so it isn’t like I did not have the background to understand these concepts with more learning. Oh, and this guy was right. Hig’s Boson found! Gravity waves detected!
    My first intro to a theoretical physicist was at OSU. He decided to teach Optics and Relative Physics to people who did not yet have Calculus. What a slog that was. 4 of us passed and that was only because he weighted the final heavily towards optics. But what stood out about him was his delight in showing us working models that described basic physical concepts. He would get snagged by them and repeat them over and over again until he heard the tittering begin. He finally admitted that although, as a theoretical physicist, he knew these concepts worked because the mathematics said they would, he still found it astounding to observe them actually functioning. Another time he was into the fifth blackboard when he stopped, chalk poised, turned slowly and knocked us all down with “ it is beginning to appear that space is granular, like sugar.” Whereupon he turned back to the chalkboard and continued the equation he was showing us. I loved that guy!

All I learned were the basics about electromagnetic radiation, enough to be able to understand how to provide advice for working in the varying hazards and which detection instruments to use for what and when. I stumbled over a physicist teaching chemistry so I learned a heck of lot about bonding as well, but that is about all I learned after high school physics. So not really a physics degree.

The only black hole ever observed didn’t have an accretion disc, and then disappeared a couple of months later despite theorists telling us they last and will last bilions of years. Galaxies don’t follow Turok and friends predictions about what speeds they rotate.etc etc. If there was ever any theory that was even less correct about the universe than the pre Copernicans earth centered mumbo jumbo...it is the nonsense of Current theoretical physics.

Theories go to say that when we observe these particles we can change the outcome of the experiment and therefore change our reality. Really want to know his thoughts on this, as its my favorite experiment. Do we have any control on our reality??

      Get a copy of BEFORE THE BIG BANG (1997, 2001) by Ernest Sternglass, available from Amazon. In this book, Sternglass "busts" the so-called "double-slit experiment" ----- saying that the electron has an energy field large enough to, indeed, go through both slits at the same time. He says that the experiment doesn't work if the slits are too far apart, where "too far" is a very short distance --- I can't remember exactly how much. The textbooks don't mention that little fact !!

    • @TheDavidlloydjones
      @TheDavidlloydjones 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Brandon,
      I think the problem is that your very sensible "How can a particle act like a wave?" is a non-question.
      There aren't any particles acting like waves. There is a reality that seems wavy to us some ways and particulate to us other ways. We have a very very usable grasp of these views, usable enough to build an industrial civilization on, but we know it's wrong.
      Moving right along, it's not at all clear what your next sensible question maens, either. What do you mean by "places"? I'm sure we can agree on a meaning of "place" that makes sense enough if we're talking about bus stops, or houses, or even theoretical points on theoretical lines. We know, however, that we don't know what "place" might mean for an electron. Electrons come in clouds now.
      We really are in a transitional situation now, it seems to me -- or at least we would be if there were any clear vision of where we're going. There isn't. What there is is a very usable hack at The Whole Thing combined with a lot of very sophisticated demonstrations that it isn't really whole. Nor a thing. Nor, quite possibly, a "the."
      Ain't it fun!

    • @vsiegel

      Naimul Haq - Yes, but "simultaneity vanishes" is one of the most mind bending concepts, I think. It means, for example, we can not start watching the video at the same time. Because the moment just fundamentally does not exist. Thinking that actually feels like it is physically bending my mind!
