  • On Oct. 7, 2015, Perimeter Institute Director Neil Turok opened the 2015/16 season of the PI Public Lecture Series with a talk about the remarkable simplicity that underlies nature. Turok discussed how this simplicity at the largest and tiniest scales of the universe is pointing toward new avenues of physics research and could lead to revolutionary advances in technology.

      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 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. 🕉️🙏

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.

      No mystery with a new model. Still bound by faith in.. math of the undefined.

      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.

    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!

      Gravity created by the matter? Sort of like a barycenters relationship to orbitals? Wouldn't that be magnetism? Or shall I say, couldn't it be also possible to use the word magnetism to also describe it? Even if it supposedly isn't magnetism, playing around with the idea and replacing the word gravity with magnetism works in so many situations.

      @@SolidSiren I agree with you entirely. My degree centered on being a radiation safety technician in the field. My job was to find and document the radiation hazards likely to be encountered during work by others, map out and set up barricades and/or tents and ventilation systems, lay out the dressing and respiratory rules to be observed, create a temporary work permit defining the rules, and observe and provide guidance during the work as well as keeping on top of emerging hazards. 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.

In the same manner that looking at the old drawing of electrons orbiting at different levels around a nucleus works to get most people by, I have used magnetism as a pretty good cartoon picture in my mind to deal with gravity, whatever the heck that is. The most I understand at this point is that that damned warped grid describes NOTHING more than how objects behave in a gravity "field?". Chicken or the egg? Gravity and matter? Gravity or matter? Gravity then matter? Matter then gravity? Something else not yet discovered?

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?

      Indeed. High school was far worse than useless for me: making something so brilliantly elegant seem oppressive and nonsensical. I chose biology therefore :)
      Not that I regret it... But, seriously, it wasn't new because I actually had seen that explanation on a fantastic TH-cam channel of all places (3Blue1Brown) but the understanding of that makes me want to go back and start again, academically.

      James McManus Mathematics can be built upon a false axiom. It can work to describe a body of water conforming to the exterior of a shape, however without the scalable and practical evidential example of this occurring in the natural world - assuming it happens on a larger scale is clearly hearsay, not science.
      Can you provide a practical evidential example of water conforming to the exterior of a shape?

      Was this something he talked about in the video? I don't recall. But yes: oceans conform to the exterior of the Earth. If I understand the point you were trying to make, a better example might be the Banach-Tarski paradox.

      For me, Neil deGrasse Tyson's biggest shortfall is pushing back from the edge of what we don't know (usually invoking the G-suit at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark with "we've got top people working on it" and not dropping any names), yet criticizing his own hero Newton for stepping back from that same edge in his time. I want to hear about what people think we might discover when Neil is taking his little ice fishing trip to Europa.

      "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." ~Albert Einstein
      People love to focus on the first part but neglect the ending. E=mc² wasn't beautiful in its simplicity but in its marketing genius as a familiar expression of F=ma which his predecessors could be at peace with. In practice, the equation blows up to be less simple but more utilitous.
