Smart guy sure, but I’ve seen enough of his content to say that he’s a bit too eccentric for my liking. God complex, making many of his peers come to see the pecking order of intelligence.

    What this whole string theory thing reminds me of is Maxwell's first concept of electromagnetism envisioned a sort of mechanical substructure. He understood that this was probably not correct, but mechanics was what physicists understood, so it was easier to start with that.

    Eric mentions the political economy of the field, and that is something important and that many people forget about. The massive amount of support for basic science in the US is a result of the Manhattan Project. Heck, when I was a young physics student working at a paid job in High Energy Physics, my paychecks were from the Atomic Energy Commission. The idea was that, with the Manhattan Project, we had been able to harness basic science for military purposes. Then we were able to harness basic science for energy generation. That is what drives the funding. String theorists have put a dent in that. Bad, not good.

    A hypothesis with methods that reduce expense
    I have come up with a hypothesis that could fundamentally reduce the expense of doing high energy particle physics. The concept that there is a duality between relativistic speed particles with mass and extremely cold particles with mass near absolute zero could reduce the expense of doing high energy particle physics. The correlation between relativistic speed particles with mass and particles with mass at temperature is very close to absolute zero is that through Lorentz transformations they can be seen as the same speed. If we could use cryogenic technology, possibly employing quantum tunneling to cool down hydrogen, nuclei or helium atoms to temperatures very close to absolute zero they would behave like particles that are accelerated near the speed of light thus drastically reducing the cost of high energy particle physics.

    I think there is a way to interpret string theory. It is to say that open-strings represent radiation and possess hyperbolic pde behaviour. Closed-strings then represents matter/gravity with elliptic pde behaviour- wherein we have circulation and no propagation. Since the world is made from radiation and matter, string theory becomes a theory of everything if rules can be stated on how to transform between the two types of strings- that is radiation-matter interactions.

By having Rogan there it would ensure that the discussion suited a non technical mainstream audience. This is why I would recommend Penrose over Weinstein. Joe is also happy to let his guest talk if the conversation is flowing well, which is a rare skill as most hosts intrude on the conversation because they don't want people to forget it is their show. I'd like to see Weinstein explain _Geometric Unity_ to Tim Dillon on _The Joe Rogan Experience_ if Dillion is interested. Terrance Howard was interested in learning about Weinstein's work, but I think he is too "hyper" to be a good listener, and would benefit more from letting Dillon ask grounded questions about Weinstein's speculative work in progress and Howard could watch the end result like the rest of us.

    This is an invitation to see a theory where light is both a wave and a particle, with a probabilistic future (∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π), continuously unfolding in relation to the electron probability cloud of atoms and the wavelength of light. According to this theory, the wave-particle duality of light and matter (electrons) creates a blank canvas that we can interact with forming a future relative to the energy and momentum of our actions. This interaction is represented by a constant of action in space and time, mathematically denoted as the Planck constant h/2π. This concept is supported by the continuous exchange of light photon energy (∆E=hf) into the kinetic energy (Eₖ=½mv²) of matter, in the form of electrons.

    String Theory appears to be a ridiculously complex panacea, while the Standard Model is dominated by useless junk matter / temporary field distortions topped off with made up fudge (quarks, Higgs field, W & Z 'bosons' as a 'weak force carrier' and probably neutrinos).. Lost in math.. take a step back... Why is the Neutron/Proton Mass almost exactly halfway between Muon and Tau?
    --
    POLECTRON FIELD: cell: a + & a - particle split by Full Split Energy as a positron+ & electron-. Bonds to 12 neighbours
    MATTER: p+ / e- = half cell (& a cell as +-+ / -+-)? Polarises field as + & - shells. SPIN: centre polarisation axis
    LECKY: absolute charge. MASS: particle lecky. INERTIA: rebalancing field kicks mass. STRONG GRAVITY: field repels mass
    MOND: lecky density slows acceleration/TIME and shrinks cells, loss to gravity gradients grows voids, aids acceleration
    BIG BANG: more proton-antiproton pairs malformed as proton-muon than antiproton-antimuon so hydrogen beat antihydrogen
    POSITRONIUM: e_p. Muon: ep_e. Proton: pep. Neutron: pep_e. Tau: epep_e. Neutron mass is halfway between muon and tau
    ANTIMATTER: 1,2 e_p pairs annihilate. 3: proton+anti proton or muon+anti muon. 4: neutron+anti neutron. 5: tau+anti tau
    WEAK FORCE: unstable atoms form and annihilate e_p pairs. BETA- DECAY: pep_e => pep e. BETA+: pep + new e_p => pep_e p
    NUCLEAR FORCE: neutron electrons bond to protons. ENTANGLEMENT: correlation broken by interaction? Physical link?
    BLACK HOLE: atoms cut into neutrons fused as higher mass tau cores (epep). Field rotates. Core annihilates: ep => cell?
    PHOTON: cell polarisation/lateral shift wave. LONGITUDINAL WAVE: gravitational wave, neutrino: 1 to 3 cell wave
    DOUBLE SLIT: photon/particle field warps diffract and interfere, guiding the core. Detectors interfere with guides
    COMPLEXITY: Closed system complexity reduces over time. Uniformly (dis)ordered (hot)/cold field is simplest

      It is extremely simple to understand these are one-dimensional string membranes that are destroyed by The Singularity of a black hole and once this happens they are in a state in between 0 and 1 dimensional this creates Dark Matter coming out of black holes and what is considered non baryonic matter. This is the counterforce to the expansion of the universe. We don't we do not live in a 3 + 1 System One of the most important things that I recently came to conclude is that I have came up with a system to prove that we live in an infinite Multiverse. I will state it here and now. So if we follow the logical progression of the spatial Dimensions infinite zero-dimensional existence can stack into any size one dimensional existence and infinite one-dimensional existence can stack into any size two-dimensional existence and infinite two-dimensional existence can stack into any size three-dimensional existence so if we follow this logical progression we can conclude that infinite three-dimensional existence can stack into any size four dimensional existence. This means if we don't live in a 3 + 1 System we should observe the relative state or shape of the universe as flat or compressed in a non evenly distributed matter and basically we should observe a stacked effect of three-dimensional existence which would make a relatively flat universe or at least a universe in a distribution matter that is non spherical and evenly distributed... so because of this we can conclude that we are not the fundamental highest spatial Dimension and that a fourth spatial Dimension must exist and if so then infinite three-dimensional Universal potentiality can stack into any size four dimensional existence so ultimately this proves a Multiverse. Just remember infinite three-dimensional Universal potentiality can stack into any size four dimensional existence... this means that because the observed state of the universe is flat or non evenly distributed in a spherical manner then this means there is extra dimensional influence compressing the state making it stack and if a fourth spatial Dimension exists then a infinite Multiverse must exist and the stack ability must exist therefore this observed phenomenon means that a fourth spatial Dimension must exist making a infinite three-dimensional Multiverse the standard Norm...

    What do the Twistors of Roger Penrose and the Geometric Unity of Eric Weinstein and the exploration of one extra spatial dimension by Lisa Randall and the "Belt Trick" of Paul Dirac have in common? Is there a link to the "Vortex Theory" proposed by Maxwell and others during the 19th century, even though the concept of the "ether" has been abandoned?
    In Spinors it takes two complete turns to get down the "rabbit hole" (Alpha Funnel 3D--->4D) to produce one twist cycle (1 Quantum unit).
    Can both Matter and Energy be described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature? (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Mass= 1/Length, with each twist cycle of the 4D Hypertube proportional to Planck’s Constant.
    In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137.
    1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface
    137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted.
    The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.)
    If quarks have not been isolated and gluons have not been isolated, how do we know they are not parts of the same thing? The tentacles of an octopus and the body of an octopus are parts of the same creature.
    Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. The "Color Force" is a consequence of the XYZ orientation entanglement of the twisted tubules. The two twisted tubule entanglement of Mesons is not stable and unwinds. It takes the entanglement of three twisted tubules to produce the stable proton.

    Brian, if you see this, I would question your channel manager. Most popular channels have a separate clips channel because it's a different form of content than your main content. Even if all 9000 viewers were brand new eyes, they will go to your channel and find different content. This also helps grow your main channel because clips channels can post the content to tiktok, etc. and build their own viewerships. So on top of not doing this, you're posting old content. Old content doesn't help a channel get picked up by the algorithm because most of your viewers recognize this, have seen the content already, and skip over it so you're basically making it impossible for the algorithm to pick it up and most importantly making your main core audience upset because they want to see new content. This reduces the likelihood of your core audience to click a video. This is the opposite of the game you want to play, because you need to make sure the people that already come to you come back, ON TOP of also gaining new eyes. It's not a big deal to me but as someone who wants to see you grow, I hope you figure this out eventually and get a good TH-cam manager

    So it's like a supreme being. How are you gonna prove he exists if he fails to show himself?
    It's fun imagining that they're may be an infinite amount of copies of you, based on all the quantum decisions you've made in your life.
    But, there's no way to prove it, and it doesn't change anything here.
    So yes, they should put funds into other work also, or you could spend decades not researching other theories and find out string theory is incorrect.
    Them not finding the symmetrical particles they were predicting is a red flag, which should have at least cooled them down a little. They say they need even bigger colliders, but my guess is they were in on setting specifications for Cern.
