SOMEONE wouldn't understand my favorite hard scifi novel. If you don't need a college level understanding of modern physics to appreciate the novel, then it's clearly not hard scifi.
@@deltavictor8369 weak, if you're not actively at the forefront of theoretical physics you have no hope of comprehending a single word of a true hard sci-fi novel.
Thank you! My nuclear phycisists and astrophysics colleagues are gonna love this. The standard model has great sitcom potential. Just talking about the loyalty issues of valence band electrons of metals could be an entire episode.
“It's degenerate! The Pauli (poly) exclusion principle exists for a reason!” for an opening joke absolutely *sent* me, and set the tone for the whole video. 10/10.
finally, the content I signed up for! the only joke I understood was Higgs giving mass tachyon snubbed once again :( (unless I missed it running across the background of a shot)
To be fair, half of the jokes are actual physics jokes, and the other half are just stupid puns. (I.e. Muon being a cow because cows go moo. That's it. That's the joke.)
@@genericallyentertaining Couldn't stop laughing for a solid 5 minutes replaying the bit about the tachyon vomiting up a pint of beer and walking backwards out of the bar XD
According to recent theories, there were actually thousands of other quarks showing up & leaving the party constantly, but they were so fast that only the neutrinos noticed them, & they just didn’t care.
Had to go look up why Gluon's wig changed colour. Apparently gluons carry the colour charge of the strong interaction (between quarks, acting as the exchange particle), participating in the strong interaction at the same time as mediating it. The colour charge determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force. There are three; red, green and blue as well as anti colours called anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue. You get a colour neutral system when red, green, and blue (or anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue) or any color and its anti-color combine. They're not actual colours of course, it's just a convenient analogy to the primary colours. I still don't have a deep enough understanding of why the wig kept changing colour to really get it but the colour charge changing might just be what happens when tearing apart a hadron. I love being inspired to look stuff up when I don't get it.
Gluons carry a color and an anti-color at all times, but because they self-interact, as you correctly point out, if you look inside of a hadron it is a constant mess of gluons interacting with themselves and with quarks.
“Subatomic particles do not exist but rather show 'tendencies to exist', and atomic events do not occur with certainty at definite times and in definite ways, but rather show 'tendencies to occur'.” ― Fritjof Capra
> But if you are a physicist, please do feel free to tell me what I got wrong, as I am not one! I am currently a Physics PhD student and this seemed like a fun way to avoid doing actual work for a few minutes. I am like 99% sure all of these are right but I didn't look anything up so I might still have some inaccuracies! The 1st one is easily having the quarks exist independently. There are no "color-charged" asymptotic states (i.e. An up quark not in a bound state). Any "free" color-charged particle would rapidly hadronize. Next having 2 quarks say "This baryon's already full" to the 3rd quark when a baryon is explicitly made of 3 valence quarks (I guess any odd number if you consider pentaquark structures, etc), but definitely not just 2, is probably the biggest gaff of this whole skit. "I ought to come over to that proton of yours and clobber you", again you are missing the 3rd valence quark, you need a 2nd up! Same mistake as before. A tau decaying only into a pion violates lepton number, it would also need to emit a neutrino. I wasn't going to mention it but then you had neutrinos so I figured its fine. The pair production of "stretching" a gluon should produce a particle and its antiparticle. So instead of having 2 Ups and 2 Downs at the end it should have been like 2 Up, 1 Down, then 1 Anti-Up (or something similar) Now my personal opinions but not inaccuracies. If you are going to make someone call out the electron for "being negative", it should have been a particle with positive charge (or at least neutral), not the down quark. Not an inaccuracy, just could have fit the flavor better. Personally, a lot of theorists I know like truth and beauty over top and bottom if you talk to them in private (I do too). But you are correct that everyone calls them Top and Bottom publicly (I also do this). I think it was a missed opportunity to not have the neutrinos constantly switching names to showcase neutrino oscillation. Overall there were some great jokes! I really enjoyed the gluon color part at the end!
1. "could have fit the flavor better." Did you intend this? (a better flavor of quark could've been chosen) 2. Related to the inaccurate labeling of a hadron, what are red and green doing hanging out without blue? 3. Higgs bosons don't give mass, the Higgs _field_ gives mass.
I think Tauons decay into a lighter lepton for charge conservation reasons? Also pretty sure the electron wanted to clobber the quarks in the nucleus which is why they said “this isn’t a neutron star” That’s also so cool behind closed doors they are still called truth and beauty!
This one took so so long to make, since I had to do a bunch of reshoots, all of which required me changing costumes. I'm reasonably happy with the end result, though!
This is such an Elle Cordova type video. And I have no one to share this gem with. I'm one of the people that understood every joke but I don't have any friends that would appreciate or understand even a quarter of the jokes in this video. I'm not in stem and have no physicist friends, I just love learning about science :( The world of science education is a lonesome one.
I love Elle Cordova's stuff, so I'll take that as a huge compliment! And I'm also in the same boat as you; I have no physics background (beyond high school), I just think science is cool and fun. Anyway, glad I could make something that resonated with you!
That's a sitcom that would see about 2 seasons, just before it lost its edge. After that, the series would have three or four more seasons and the original fandom would only come back for the last two or three episodes.
This is amazing!! Thank you so much for doing this; it justifies that brief 4 hour quantum mechanics rabbit hole I went down 3 years ago!! Side note: when beauty says “im as unsurprised as ever” it was giving total Obi Wan Kenobi vibes.
This was peak physics comedy thank you so much for every second of this, gluon changing colour constantly and tauon decaying too quickly to even show up were incredible. Need to see what the W and Z bosons are up to next time!
I've seen a handfull of your videos and they're so good, I don't understand how you're not getting way more views. Time to actually click the channel and start binging I guess :D
This video made me feel e-xcited! It's truly brilliantly written!! And also pointed out some things that I didn't know😅 I really enjoy your videos, thank you for your enthusiasm in making them!
Way better than the reboot, string zoo. Yeah it had lots of very talented actors and writers on staff, but each character just had too many dimensions tacked on and was overcomplicated.
@@placeholderdoe We like to talk about shows having 3-dimensional characters, and that's normally a good thing, but once you get to 11 dimensions it's just too much to handle.

At 0:24 he says this baryon’s already full, but since he said my 2 favourite quarks it clearly isn’t full as 3 quarks make a baryon. Apart from that, great video

Photon always knows how to get Electron to come out of its shell.
This is peak comedy! And the colorchanging wig on the gluon was cherry on top. So much attention to detail
Not only that, the quarks changed their shirts every so often

I've been waiting years for a video like this to exist.
So have I! That's basically why I made it.

Much like human behaviour, if you average the behaviour of particles over large enough scales they can eventually be predictable.
