Fauna shows hints of a good educator. She starts with a presentation of the problem or the “gap” in knowledge, the proposed solution or theory, the general merits of the theory, the limitations of the peoposed theory, and finally the recommendations to push forward the theory. It’s deceivingly simplifed, but if this were a more formal educational setting, Fauna could legitimately handle the topic in an academic nature if she wanted to.
@@internetperson3436 i think she’s mirroring off the expertise of a professor she once had. If anything, she’s a good student or had a very good professor. So yeah, I’d say she has some kind of science/engineering background.

i guess that's given if your field of study is all about probability and random chance(?)- wondering if a certain quantum particle exists or not. must be a headache to study, honestly.
@@zapdosxy1781 problem is, it's a myth that *keeps accurately predicting the exact results we get experimentally* It'd be like if I said "every internal combustion engine is actually 700 hamsters in hamster wheels that hide behind the engine block when you open it up", and you go to disprove it, and you never actually manage to see these 700 hamsters & their wheels, but the engine block mysteriously weighs less when you open it up, by exactly the amount needed to account for the weight of 700 hamsters and their associated wheels.
4:34, I can try to explain this one (I’m also a noob tho). Basically, quantum mechanics/particle physics says that every type of force is facilitated by a corresponding particle. (Light has photons, electricity has electrons, etc.) And this works for every single force, except gravity. If you try to fit “gravitons” into the established model, tiny balls of gravity interacting with each other on such a small scale would create tiny black holes everywhere. And that isn’t happening, so… String theory proposes that every particle is actually a vibrating string, and a graviton would be a string connected end-to-end in a loop. This effectively makes gravitons less dense, since it’s not a solid uniform shape anymore. And this apparently makes the math work out really well, and then you don’t get tiny black holes everywhere, which is cool. That’s how String Theory ties quantum mechanics and Einstein’s gravity together.
Okay, but if someone ever asks me to describe how I learned this unified theory, how do I describe the context of this comment without also explaining what "moe" is?
@@Niffoni just say you learned it from PBS Spacetime or something lol. Veritasium is good too. I personally watched a lot of Sean Carroll videos, but that’s like hours and hours of stuff
I would have to make a addition: Quantum mechanics is actually the description of the behavior of particles (doesn't describe what it is). Particles behave as a "wave" (in that we cannot deduce its position, only the probability of its position, which, likewise, its movement, so more specifically, its a probability wave). Check out the double slit experiment. Its the most basic way to visually understand quantum mechanics. In easier terms, relativity is deterministic, quantum theory is probabilistic. The reason why its hard to combine is because of the inherent contradictory nature of these aspects. String theory proposes a description of gravitons can can fit in with both general relativity and still matches quantum theory. How.... Most of it is a bunch of math (including probabilities) of course. Its literally using math math to explain math. There is no actual easy way to explain it. I mean, can you even imagine 11 dimensions? On paper, its just 11 variables. In reality its ??? And this isn't even including the different mathematical interpretations of string theory which are explained differently.
There are clips of Sana trying to explain string theory to Kronii, it s really funny since it completely went over her head. (and space and time talking about space and time lol) Ever since then I wished someone can to Sana about it XD Iirc what we teach in schools is special relativity. Einstein wasn't exactly right either, its just that his theory was refined by other scientists into a more comprehensive one. Somewhat same story with String theory, used to need 29 dimensions and predicted the Tachyon which goes faster then light, but was eventually refined to 11 dimensions and no tachyon, so it stands to reason that it can be refined again. Testing it is another issue alltogether still, putting humanity in another Planet X situation
Thanks for sharing, it's been awhile since I had read up on anything. As an aside Tachyon is a cool word, lol. Would love to see Fauna try explaining it to everyone in a collab.
@@SentientSapling I luckily ran into some videos months ago which explains the basics concisely. I forgot which ones though, previous videos on the topic just confuses me more 😓
Those were especially funny since Kronii put on her "disturbed" face pretty quickly, and that combination combined with her obviously-bluffing "yeah, okay, uh-huh, yeah" was gold.
Knowing that even physicists, literally our reality hackers, feels humbled by the great unknown in front of us, also humbles me in ways I cannot fathom.
Her explanation of string theory is both accurate to a reasonable degree and easily understandable, and she even briefly explains a little bit of Super Symmetry. It's clear Fauna actually does know her stuff

I think the main idea is the string vibrate like a guitar a string. The different "notes" are different vibration speeds/frequencies. Roughly the "notes" are what make up quantum forces in quantum science. You can also combine notes to make larger "chords" which just translates to bigger quantum particles.

I wish I had that super power in school lol
Glad to hear! I really like her content - I hope you do as well! It is usually pretty comfy/relaxing with slight moments of chaos and these awesome tangents.
Fauna going on a spiel about science is surprisingly satisfying to listen to, even though it's usually boring. It must be her voice making it interesting. 😆 Also that "boop boop" at the end is _so_ adorable. ❤

@SaxonBlue botan ís smart in general knowledge, or what we usually called a wise elder. But fauna's math and science is exceptional. I dont remember any other hololive member that explain complex science topic beside fauna. Oh, millie from niji also major in science, but she never discuss about conplex topic.
@@I_like_modeling_Monsters922 NijiEN's Luca also had a STEM major, and I think Shu did programming? That's about my extent of knowledge on the topic though.

As a chemist, we cover a lot of quantum mechanics (-shudder- Physical Chemistry), so I’ll let the Physicists cook. Also, low key, Physics people are so cool, I’ve met so many happy Physics people and I respect it.
Honestly one of the best layman explanations I've seen on string theory. As for the problem that string theory solves, quantum mechanics relies on a technique called "renormalization", which lets you make a meaningful prediction by pruning away probabilities that don't really affect the final outcome, kind of like how we can ignore the possibility of a coin landing on its side when we say a coin toss is 50-50. With gravity, at least the way general relativity describes it, you can't really use that technique without getting a meaningless result, i.e. dividing by zero. String theory is enticing because it has the benefits of describing quantum mechanics as we already understand it while providing a "workaround" for gravity. The hard part, and why a lot of scientists see it as black magic, is that we don't really have a good way to test for it, and on top of that we don't really know what we'd be testing *for*, as there is like 10 to the 500th power different ways string theory could "exist."
Testing would be great I dont think it's required to be "proven" to push our understanding of physics further. Being theoretical (for string theory at least) is perfectly acceptable.. At the end of the day it's the unknown that spurs people on to doing great things, having theories that are coveted in mystery, excitement and possibility is going to be what encourages people to think outside of the box and push our current understanding of already established theories.\ People forget, but anything we learn about string theory whether it's correct or not will help drive understanding of relativity, etc also. It's never a dead end.
One thing to help you out is to remember that String theory is an hypothesis, theory means that the hypotheis has been tested and has become gernerally accepted.It is strange they call it "theory" even though it should be called string hypothesis, though i guess colloquially it makes sense. Other than that great layman explanation! you got a sub from me! ^_^
Fauna flexing with her big Brain and massive Knowledge right here xD I love the more complexe topics of Physics and Theories. However, I'm not doing to well right now, otherwise I could have shared some thoughts. My Brain ain't working well enough when sick
We've reached the point in society where anime waifus are explaining string theory and quantum mechanics to me while jumping around in a cauldron with a hammer, and I don't know how to feel about it.
I like string theory too lol! It just makes sense. The big bang being gods "pluck" of the big string we call the expanding universe and all matter is the resonance of that action.

If this can gives some insight and interests to maths for some kids, then it was all worth it. Glad people talk more and more about these subjects and in a very nice way too.
String theory is group theory. This is how chemistry organizes things. If you can identify certain traits of a chemical, then you can associate it with a specific group of chemicals. If it is associated with that group, then you know the properties of this unknown chemical. If you want something more specific, well that requires further testing. Likewise, string theory supposes different particles belong to specific groups associated with a physical law. If you can identify key characteristics of a particle then you can toss it into one of these known groups. Hence, the ability to predict certain particles existing.
Group theory has a very specific meaning in mathematics where it is a whole field of mathematics concerned with symmetries. Also grouping of things into categories wasn't invented by chemistry lol
@@sindhurtej9638 I don't believe I wrote that Chemistry invented group theory, just that it utilizes it. Yes, group theory goes deeper, but that us not necessary for the discussion.
You are using formal logic to relate two unrelated processes of research based on their external similarities. Theories may accidentally correlate sometimes, but the only right way to understand the logic of any theory is to learn about its real history of development (including the context where it arose out of necessity). It may be tempting to deduct it from externally similar theories, but the similarities are not scientific basis. But then again I am commenting on a video about an anime girl so maybe it's not that important? 😅
@@sieunhan00 when you think of the TH-cam comment section, what level of education do you expect? So anyone who wishes to make something abstract concrete enough for said audience. Must jump through hoops, and be careful of "lies for children." All of this to say, I choose group theory as it logically does what was described of String Theory. If someone wishes to learn more, than understanding better, but more abstract, prospectives will require a concrete basis.

i never thought that those 2 world i enjoy the most would collide but here we are... Physics and Vtubers. I gonna simp for that dude
This is why I think Fauna is the smartest Hololive member
@SaxonBlue botan ís smart in general knowledge, or what we usually called a wise elder. But fauna's math and science is exceptional. I dont remember any other hololive member that explain complex science topic beside fauna.
Oh, millie from niji also major in science, but she never discuss about conplex topic.
There's different between smart and knowledgeable
@@I_like_modeling_Monsters922 NijiEN's Luca also had a STEM major, and I think Shu did programming? That's about my extent of knowledge on the topic though.
I think Ollie is pretty smart
@@Egg-san Yeah, Ollie's mathematics knowledge is definitely at a higher level than most people would learn unless they majored in math in college.
This one clip filled my recommended page with science videos, thanks Fauna…
This video is the one that sent me down the rabbit hole and is why to this day even though I watch a lot of different hololive members, fauna will always be my oshi
WTF? I love Fauna now!
I mean even more than before.
Cute girl with a soft and sweet voice lecture about advanced science theories is something I could never dream of.
I literally listen to this at 3 AM why
I think I just found a new way of learning...
I thought this was going to be memes and haha moments. I was pleasantly surprised that it's actually a monolgue talking about physics.
It boggles my mind (and is also hilarious) how she understands string theory and can explain it pretty well to the saplings, yet couldn't figure out how to launch off the anvil for half of this video (especially considering how much she'd done it before this point)
That's what I'm saying 😂😂 I was thinking the exact same thing.
Lol, I mean, can you imagine trying to explain String theory well and play a game well? People are super bad at multitasking, I basically cannot talk and game at the same time, lol.
@@Chex_Mex yep, pretty sure this is her having a hard time multitasking, especially in this game. it's really hard to multitask unless you already did 100-200 run and the game is mostly muscle memory
As a chemist, we cover a lot of quantum mechanics (-shudder- Physical Chemistry), so I’ll let the Physicists cook. Also, low key, Physics people are so cool, I’ve met so many happy Physics people and I respect it.
This isn't the aspect of nature I expected from Mother Nature, but I'm here for it.
As a chemist who learnt physics at undergraduate level i am surprise she actually knows what she said
I never thought this could happen. Never heard of Fauna before and I wish I had.
Honestly one of the best layman explanations I've seen on string theory. As for the problem that string theory solves, quantum mechanics relies on a technique called "renormalization", which lets you make a meaningful prediction by pruning away probabilities that don't really affect the final outcome, kind of like how we can ignore the possibility of a coin landing on its side when we say a coin toss is 50-50. With gravity, at least the way general relativity describes it, you can't really use that technique without getting a meaningless result, i.e. dividing by zero. String theory is enticing because it has the benefits of describing quantum mechanics as we already understand it while providing a "workaround" for gravity. The hard part, and why a lot of scientists see it as black magic, is that we don't really have a good way to test for it, and on top of that we don't really know what we'd be testing *for*, as there is like 10 to the 500th power different ways string theory could "exist."
Testing would be great I dont think it's required to be "proven" to push our understanding of physics further. Being theoretical (for string theory at least) is perfectly acceptable.. At the end of the day it's the unknown that spurs people on to doing great things, having theories that are coveted in mystery, excitement and possibility is going to be what encourages people to think outside of the box and push our current understanding of already established theories.\
People forget, but anything we learn about string theory whether it's correct or not will help drive understanding of relativity, etc also. It's never a dead end.
wtf this actually made me interested in physics now
If I had professors like these I will make the classroom my home.
One thing to help you out is to remember that String theory is an hypothesis, theory means that the hypotheis has been tested and has become gernerally accepted.It is strange they call it "theory" even though it should be called string hypothesis, though i guess colloquially it makes sense. Other than that great layman explanation! you got a sub from me! ^_^
I totally agree, it would be very difficult to use the basic scientific method and use experimentation to have data for this hypothesis.
Nice discussion and i my personal opinion if the math works out well enough most probably it's the right direction of thinking
Fauna flexing with her big Brain and massive Knowledge right here xD
I love the more complexe topics of Physics and Theories. However, I'm not doing to well right now, otherwise I could have shared some thoughts. My Brain ain't working well enough when sick
Hope you feel better soon :)
Everything super soothing and you just huuuuuuuu boop boop
We've reached the point in society where anime waifus are explaining string theory and quantum mechanics to me while jumping around in a cauldron with a hammer, and I don't know how to feel about it.
feels good man
“We need a way to trick the young into learning.”
“I got an idea…”
I like string theory too lol! It just makes sense. The big bang being gods "pluck" of the big string we call the expanding universe and all matter is the resonance of that action.
Plank length is what Fauna was grasping at. A very nice explanation.
Idk why this is in my feed, but I’m here for it.
ive only really listened to fauna's asmrs so i dont know her very well outside that. this clip got recommended to me just now. i already enjoy her asmrs but wow i didn't know she's also well-versed in science stuff. hope she considers doing science themed asmrs as well. that would be fun
Thank you Fauna, very cool!
My physicist ass would absolutely love a “Studying String Theory w/ Fauna” stream
I could listen to fauna explaining things from easy to new theories
As a hooters host, this melted my brain.
If this can gives some insight and interests to maths for some kids, then it was all worth it.
Glad people talk more and more about these subjects and in a very nice way too.
String theory is group theory.
This is how chemistry organizes things. If you can identify certain traits of a chemical, then you can associate it with a specific group of chemicals. If it is associated with that group, then you know the properties of this unknown chemical. If you want something more specific, well that requires further testing.
Likewise, string theory supposes different particles belong to specific groups associated with a physical law. If you can identify key characteristics of a particle then you can toss it into one of these known groups. Hence, the ability to predict certain particles existing.
Group theory has a very specific meaning in mathematics where it is a whole field of mathematics concerned with symmetries. Also grouping of things into categories wasn't invented by chemistry lol
@@sindhurtej9638 I don't believe I wrote that Chemistry invented group theory, just that it utilizes it.
Yes, group theory goes deeper, but that us not necessary for the discussion.
You are using formal logic to relate two unrelated processes of research based on their external similarities. Theories may accidentally correlate sometimes, but the only right way to understand the logic of any theory is to learn about its real history of development (including the context where it arose out of necessity). It may be tempting to deduct it from externally similar theories, but the similarities are not scientific basis.
But then again I am commenting on a video about an anime girl so maybe it's not that important? 😅
@@sieunhan00 when you think of the TH-cam comment section, what level of education do you expect?
So anyone who wishes to make something abstract concrete enough for said audience. Must jump through hoops, and be careful of "lies for children."
All of this to say, I choose group theory as it logically does what was described of String Theory. If someone wishes to learn more, than understanding better, but more abstract, prospectives will require a concrete basis.
That's fair.
As someone who used to study biology and got thought the basics of the scientific process, nothing triggers me more than hearing "is just a theory"
me need more Fauna taking over the role of the enlightened science enjoyer for Sana
daaamn I gotta go check out Fauna again!
I really want some Hololive streams focused solely on education or weird facts.
It’s encouraging that there’s actually an audience that wants that
Vtubers doing video essays when?
