      quarks can't exist outside the confines of a proton. In the outside phase of existence they are simply muons.

      IN THE INTEREST OF FINDING THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING:
      It seems to me that ANY theory of everything idea should be able to answer the below items in a logical, coherent, inter-related way. If that idea does not, then is it truly a theory of everything?
      a. Numbers: Modern science does not even know how numbers and certain mathematical constants exist for math to do what math does. Surely the very nature of reality has to allow numbers and mathematical constants to actually exist for math to do what math does in this existence.
      b. Space: Modern science does not even know what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually warp and expand.
      c. Time: Modern science does not even know what 'time' actually is nor how it could actually warp and vary.
      d. Gravity: Modern science does not even know what 'gravity' actually is nor how gravity actually does what it appears to do. And for those who claim that 'gravity' is matter warping the fabric of spacetime, see 'b' and 'c' above.
      e. Speed of Light: 'Speed', distance divided by time, distance being two points in space with space between those two points. But yet, here again, modern science does not even know what space and time actually are that makes up 'speed' and they also claim that space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary, so how could they truly know even what the speed of light actually is that they utilize in many of the formulas? Speed of light should also warp, expand and vary depending upon what space and time it was in. And if the speed of light can warp, expand and vary in space and time, how then do far away astronomical observations actually work that are based upon light and the speed of light that could warp, expand and vary in actual reality?
      f. Photons: A photon swirls with the 'e' and 'm' energy fields 90 degrees to each other. A photon is also considered massless. What keeps the 'e' and 'm' energy fields together across the vast universe for billions of light years? And why doesn't the momentum of the 'e' and 'm' energy fields as they swirl about not fling them away from the central area of the photon? And why aren't photons that go across the vast universe torn apart by other photons, including photons with the exact same energy frequency, and/or by matter, matter being made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy, quarks and electrons being considered charged particles, each with their respective magnetic field with them?
      Electricity is electricity and magnetism is magnetism varying possibly only in energy modality, energy density and energy frequency. So why doesn't the 'e' and 'm' of other photons and of matter basically tear apart a photon going across the vast universe?
      Also, 'if' a photon actually red shifts, where does the red shifted energy go and why does the photon red shift? And for those who claim space expanding causes a photon to red shift, see 'b' above.
      Why does radio 'em' (large 'em' waves) have low energy and gamma 'em' (small 'em' waves) have high energy? And for those who say E = hf; see also 'b' and 'c' above. (f = frequency, cycles per second. But modern science claims space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary. If 'space' warps and expands and/or 'time' warps and varies, what does that do to 'E'? And why doesn't 'E' keep space from expanding and time from varying?).
      g. Energy: Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it's one of the foundations of physics. Hence, energy is either truly a finite amount and eternally existent, or modern science is wrong. First Law Of Thermodynamics: "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed." How exactly is 'energy' eternally existent?
      h. Existence and Non-Existence side by side throughout all of eternity. How?
      * NOTE: Even General Relativity and the Standard Model of Particle Physics cannot answer these items in a logical, coherent, inter-related way. Shouldn't these above items also require accurate answers?

    • @charlesbrightman4237
      @charlesbrightman4237 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      WHO AND/OR WHAT AM I? DO 'I' EVEN EXIST?
      Consider the following:
      a. I am a human as defined by humans.
      b. I am an energy based quarkelectronian as modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy and I am made up of matter and interacting energy.
      c. I am a being of 'light', 'if' my current theory of everything is correct whereby the 'gem' photon is the energy unit of this universe that makes up everything in this universe, including space, time and numbers. (Currently dependent upon the results of my gravity test).
      d. "I" do not even actually exist but eternally existent space time exists as me, currently in the forms as above.
      * I exist and yet "I" simultaneously do not exist, dependent upon perspective. But yet, do "I" not truly exist in absolute truth reality as only eternally existent space time exists as all things in absolute truth reality?
      * "I" can mentally change between perspectives thereby experiencing existence from those various perspectives. "My" mind continues to expand, but is it truly 'my' mind that is expanding or is it eternally existent space time's mind that is expanding? In absolute truth reality, it would seem to be the later.
      * 'To Be or Not To Be'. I am both, 'I Am and I Am Not.' But I Am Not it appears more than I Am.
      * Consider also: If asked the general question, 'What do you know?'. My current answer would be, 'Not much compared to all that can be known.' (I Am Not, More than I Am). It's humbling.
      * Is it truly any wonder that the flow of energy in the universe affects species? We are the universe experiencing itself.
      * Question: If 'I' never actually existed in the first place, how could 'I' ever die?
      * Added Note: Now, 'assuming' the above is correct, that 'I' do not even actually exist but that eternally existent energy exists as 'me', and that 'my' consciousness, memories and thoughts are actually the universe acting through the form of 'me':
      a. I have yet to acquire any 'new' knowledge via this supposed connection that cannot be explained by 'normal' means. (In other words, besides things I learned or intuited). Even my theory of everything and other ideas are due to study and critical thinking. Nor can I magically fluently speak a language that I have not already learned. (In other words, no magical connection with the 'universal consciousness' at this time can be noted).
      Although, what is 'intuition' but possibly consciously perceiving something that one did not consciously know, understand or have wisdom in beforehand? Is even 'intuition' a gateway into universal knowledge, understanding and wisdom, all done with basically the mind alone?
      b. I have yet to be able to manipulate reality with my mind alone, my physical body is necessary to manipulate reality.
      c. While I can imagine being elsewhere in this universe, it does not appear that I can actually take just my mind actually there. (My mind is where my body is).
      d. Doesn't mean I will stop trying, just have not noticed the above as occurring as of yet.

    Reality, illusion, matrix, multiverses, quantum, data, networks... all of these concepts weave a complex tapestry that fascinates and perplexes us. But beyond the theories, what truly matters is the experience of life itself. Being alive in this vibrant world, surrounded by creativity and energy, is a gift in its own right. Whether or not a higher power, like God, designed it all, simply living and participating in this grand journey is enough to spark wonder. And just like mining precious resources from the Earth, we can extract meaning and purpose from the moments we are given, embracing the mystery and beauty of existence.

      The Cosmic Totality IS God
      The greatest truth of all is how just a few forces, collectively known as energy, determine the nature of Nature in large collective behavior, as immutable laws of physics.
      However probabilistically achieved, they determine the overall fate of stars, worlds & civilizations; predestined since the dawn of time, to self assemble & self perfect, overcoming entropy with wisdom & agape love, with evermore all inclusive, global Being, going interplanetary & interstellar!
      The Cosmic Totality is God; the alpha & omega.
      We’ve known since Biblical times, extremists will destroy each other with all consuming hate, leaving the moderate & mild, using logic, reason, experience & agape love to inherit this & every living world.
      You cannot violate the tendency for order to arise out of chaos, as worlds & universes without end, cyclically following God’s immutable laws …
      Because God IS Cosmic Fate! Reality Itself, divine TRUTH!
      We either go with the evolutionary flow, restoring Oneness to universe, or we drown, resisting it, exhausted.
      However long it may take, knowledge, wisdom & love conquer all.
      We breathe God in & out. He is the energy of which we & everything is made.
      The irresistible forces of Nature evolving, self tamed, determined we shall live “happily ever after” or ELSE!
      Thermonuclear FIRE! Over & over, cyclically, ETERNALLY! Until we get ourselves right with the Lord.
      Is Divine Beneficence really such an insufferable fate? The Cosmic Will is the ultimate, individual free will, turning hellishly hot, molten worlds into paradise, creating genetic & cerebral cures for everything, learning to rewrite our genes, minds & spirits evermore in the likeness of Infinite Perfection!
      Have Your own way, Lord. Have Your own way.

    About the three colour receptor thing:
    It has been hypothesized that humans have three colour receptors (where most mammals have two) because we need to be able to see ripe fruit. Apples are ripe when they’re red, and red is the colour that is specific to humans. Others animals see red as a sort of green.
    Interestingly, this is the reason why red (ginger) camouflage works in animals like cats. To us humans, a red cat very easily stands out against the background. But to most prey, the cat appears almost fully green. (Google this, it’s very cool)
    It’s the best option available since mammals aren’t able to naturally produce green hair.

      I would say what sets this channel apart is the serious effort taken not to "dumb-down" these highly sophisticated scientific concepts, hypotheses & theories.
      All too often, even quite competent science communicators fall prey to the idea that, "Any poor, ignorant, non-scientists couldn't possibly understand Einstein's Special Relativity - let alone its implications - so let's dumb it down, as though we were explaining it to a 5 year old..." This kind of attitude is self-defeating & leads to the kind of crap "science" shows which end up putting appearance over substance...
      While I might I lack understanding in the higher math required for Quantum Physics equations, this doesn't mean I can't comprehend the abstract concepts that Einstein pioneered, or that I can't grasp the implications of it all.
      It's the job of a science communicator to properly explain the important science without losing essential information.

I like thinking our ancestors observing life in the simplest form, already figured out existence and tried to relate that through art, language, religion, grand works, etc., but alas, we the children of genius adults think we are smarter and take no heed in that knowledge.

    This is truly the greatest video I have ever seen. It transcends the boundaries of physics and delves into the profound meaning of life. It encapsulates all the concepts I've studied in one simple question: What is reality? What is life?
    The video brilliantly highlights the efforts of brilliant minds who have attempted to unravel this ironically simple question. I have immense respect for this work; it is deeply sentimental and thought-provoking. Thank you for creating something so impactful ❤

      Well I went through the same situation and divorced in 2016. I hated everything too. I didn’t want anything. I didn’t want to do anything or go anywhere. Life was turned completely upside down and I didn’t have any passion for anything. Well 8 years later and I’m still here and doing 100% better. I know what you’re going through. I’d like to tell you it gets easier but I cannot lie about this. There will inevitably be tough times. Take it day by day. Don’t rush to get into anything. Just get to know yourself as much as possible. I have learned more about who I am after my divorce than the previous 28 years of my life. I know who I am, what I want, what I do not want, what I need, what I cannot allow, what I can and can’t control, etc, etc. Now I am at peace. Take your time to get things sorted out for yourself. Take the time to feel but do not deny those feelings. Let them come along randomly just as thoughts do, and then let them go when their time has run its course. It all comes down to time man. At least it was for myself anyways. I had to allow myself the time to do everything necessary for me, the time to grieve and heal, time to explore who I really am and what I really want, time to adjust my mindset, time to figure out the things I have that aren’t necessary, time to relax and focus on nothing or something, and finally, just take the time to find yourself in the deepest aspect. It gets better. I can promise you that. If it doesn’t alI wouldn’t waste you lrtime with this long comment It might not take you as long as it took me and I hope it doesn’t. From my experience, the time ☝️for all of those reasons up there, and then finally, my time I spent with my dogs literally saved me from disintegrating into nothing. My dogs are my favorite and closest friends in the world. Their unconditional love is something I have only experienced in dogs. They are a special and unique pairing along with us. Hopefully you lije gldofs and where you live will allow a dog but I promise you, a dog will be that best friend that is there when no one else is to get you through the pain. They are lifesavers in so many ways. They are so loyal it’s almost to a fault. All they need is food, water and to be cared for and loved. Get you a dog my friend…

    I can mostly understand the subjects taught in science videos and a lot of them repeat the same things over and over. Eventually I watch a video of some same ole concept I already know, but a different wording or graphic is used and I have a micro epiphany that gives me a sudden deeper understanding of the subject. Your entire videos can be that way for me. The wording, your voice, the journey, the relaxing nature of it all. It’s a total perspective shift from other videos.

    It's difficult for me to express in words the sensation of satisfaction that basking in the experience of this masterwork makes me feel. I have a feeling like that of laying out in the sun on a pleasant day with clear blue skies surrounded by beautiful, verdant nature (and not being irritated by biting bugs, wildfire smoke, obnoxious people or any of hundreds of irritations) in quietness and serenity, the only sounds being those of a gentle wind blowing the leaves of trees. I have the feeling of ingesting something profoundly wholesome and "gently wonderful". The feeling of calm serenity is aided by the perfect background music and the calm, reassuring voice of the narrator. This video you all have produced is magnificent and the subject is awe-inspiring. It is an exceptional gem of science and even reality education and communication. The video and visuals, the gentle and beautiful background music that goes so far to put a human's nervous system into a state of receptive calm, the scope of the work, the narrative pathway through the long human quest to understand reality, the lucid, flowing explanations that seamlessly and gracefully flow from one subject to the next, the calm and steady pace of a genuinely pleasant narrator's voice, *not* chopping it up into "shorts" or 15-minute segments but taking enough time to tell the narrative story from beginning to end and trusting that there would be an audience with interest and attention spans to listen to such a masterwork...
    .
    I could go on. This work is a masterpiece, an absolute gem, profoundly nourishing to intellect and soul. Thanks to all who created it and have blessed me with your intelligence, knowledge and skillful efforts. I predict that science teachers all around the world at many levels will refer their students to this masterwork for as long as it's available. Again, thanks to all who worked to create this masterpiece.

    These things are just as real as things that are physical-they act on others and ourselves, bind other creatures much like ourselves.

    Regarding quantum entanglement and spooky action at a distance: imagine you have a stack of very large sheets of paper, and on each sheet are two colored dots, always one yellow and one blue, because of some law of conservation of printer ink or whatever. But on some sheets, the dot in the top left might be yellow and the dot in the bottom right blue, while on other sheets the dot in the top left might be blue and the dot in the bottom right yellow. When considering the stack as a whole, it isn't determined which dot is yellow and which is blue. But as soon as you lift up the top left corner of the stack to reveal a(n effectively) random sheet in the middle of it, and you see a dot of one color, you instantly know what color the dot on the other side of the sheet is, even if these sheets of paper are lightyears across. But that's not a problem, because nothing had to *travel* across any of the sheets to ensure this result. You just picked *which sheet in the stack* was the one you were going to be looking at.
    The sheets are slices of the superposition of the entangled waves, and your picking one is you becoming entangled with that wave yourself, apparently collapsing it to a single sheet and discarding all the others, from your subjective perspective.

      Hm.., as far as I understand, that's not the case with quantum entanglement. The quantum particle remains in superposition until it is observed and doesn't mean that the quantum state it was already decided and just waiting to be observed. Take as an example the double slit experiment. The electron beam will form a normal wave spectre, but when putting a spin detector, it will form just to separate lines.

    • @Pfhorrest
      @Pfhorrest 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@IngVasiu In the metaphor I used, the stack of sheets is the superposition, and picking one sheet at random to look at is the observation. It's already decided that for each sheet, one dot is yellow and the other is blue, so whichever sheet you look at you will inevitably find one dot the opposite color of the other, but that's not decided for the stack as a whole.
      The differences in the double-slit experiment might be incorporated into this metaphor as the difference between feeding the entire stack of paper (the unobserved wavefunction) through something at once, and feeding a bunch of individual sheets (observed states) through one after the other. I'm not sure what we're feeding the papers into in this metaphor though, that's just the start of a thought.

      Or was it all written? Or was it even real? Don't feel bad for them or for yourself or anyone for that matter as neither you nor anyone actually exist as much as your brain and consciousness would like you to believe it... Your body is only an avatar, what you feel, experience and touch are nothing but thoughts, illusion, dream. A persisting dream. Just like when you have a dream that feels real, your reality is the same but a more persisting one. It's all a construction of thoughts and hallucinations. you might think it will end when you die but it won't. You don't die because you're not real to die. Again your body is only an avatar. So what happens when that avatar dies? Nothing. Its just an experience, remember? You never die. You've been experiencing these thoughts forever and you will continue to experience them forever. You're stuck here. There's noway out. Listen to the song 'hotel California'... You can checkout any time you want, but you can never leave...

      Trying to understand the world is like a blind man trying to imagine what colors look like. Just as he can’t fully grasp what sighted people see, we can’t fully understand everything about reality, especially when it comes to things like the afterlife or the true nature of existence or “what is truly out there”. We do our best to make sense of things, but our understanding is always going to be limited by our own experiences and what we can comprehend right now.
      This isn’t just a philosophical thought-it’s something fundamental we see in how we approach science too. For example: mathematics gives us tools to describe the world, but even in something as “factual” as math, there are things that can’t be proven or fully understood within the system itself, as Gödel showed. The same goes for the scientific process generally: we build on what we know, using certain assumptions and methods, but there’s always more out there that we can’t quite reach or explain.
      Hegel’s idea of progress through inevitable contradictions shows that understanding the world is a process that never really ends. We’re constantly learning and adapting, but we never get to a final, complete truth. There’s always more to discover, and some things will always remain beyond our reach.
      At some point, we have to accept that this is just the way things are. We live, we learn, and we grow from our experiences, but we’ll never have all the answers. Our past experiences shape who we are, and as we move forward, we just have to appreciate the process of learning and living. That is the same with progression in humanity. It was Plato that said: “Learning is a process of recollection.” There’s a kind of order and truth in everything, but no single answer will cover everything. As Gödel’s work reminds us, even the most consistent systems are incomplete, and so is our understanding of the world. Ultimately, in a sense of way, there is a beauty and appreciation in being here right now, within a given process, within a given system of life, of the encompassing nature.

      You are on the middle acts, there is but one answer. Keep seeking, because there is no unknowing. infinite info in infinite direction leads to infinite options. It's all what you make it

      I feel and think exactly like you, every question i ask and ponder, it goes into infinity or doesnt make sense at all. I think we are not meant to understand everything.
