I believe that the temperature of the universe has a huge part to play in gravity and how electromagnetic waves conduct themselves. Watch the video in the link below, that metals superconducting temp is 92 Kelvin and the universe is 2.73 Kelvin imagine the superconducting properties of the ozone being cooled to 2.73 Kelvin that's probs why we don't get alot of radiation from the sun and why certain WIMP particles will never be found passing through our planet!

Yes but not in a phylosophical way, science asks why to the unexplained facts presented by physics, why can we usually see a spectrum of seven colors? Why can we see colors? Why did this apple fall on my head? And to those common sense facts we get explanations, because the material has properties that absorb part of the white light it gets, but not all, because the reflection of the light in the objects can reach our eyes and so we see it (I haven't studied science in a while, so sorry if this explanation is a little blurry), because there was a force called gravity that was acting on the apple, those why's are scientific why's, but if you ask, why are there colors, why is there gravity, that is more of a job for phylosophy, and you will end up asking why is there life, and will know nothing It's just the way things are, that's what I usually go with

[@natebrown2111]

It took Neil a good 10 minutes to just say “I don’t know”

[@TrevorAndSky]

He answered the question though, by saying that Gravity is the curvature of space and time. He said "I don't know" when he got asked "why is gravity the curvature of space and time?" Which is basically the same as being asked "why is gravity gravity?". The first question was "what really is gravity?". And Neil answered. And then he basically got asked "why is reality this way and not another way?". I think the confusion derived from the fact that the concept of gravity is hard to understand: it is a curvature sure, the same as a ramp at a skateboard park, but you cannot perceive it. You can't see it. Cuz it's in 4D, per say. But just because you can't picture it in your head, doesn't mean you don't know what it is. Neil knows cause it's his field, many people didn't really understand it I think.

[@bulcius]

​@@TrevorAndSky Neil did not give a sufficient answer for Joe and for many people. It was very frustrating to view this clip as Neil continuously talked about the fact that we know 'enough' about gravity to get us to land on Mars for example. Neil did not explain what is the accepted theory in physics at the moment about how particles get their mass to create the curvature of space time. He just rambled about how what we know is enough and that is not an acceptable answer for a physicist. Neil showed his bad side with this podcast.

I think Neil was getting somewhat agitated because he kept trying to explain that at some point the "why" question is irrelevant. But I'm not sure why Neil feels that way. Who knows what could come out of an even deeper understanding of why/how gravity bends spacetime. Especially if we somehow figure out how to reverse it counteract it. This could be huge for future space travel, no? Wasn't that the whole plot to Interstellar?

[@missionpupa]

@@Wizznilliam yes, some scientists still question the validity of gravity, it doesnt make sense completely in some pieces. What Neil did here is he is closing the conversation on the theory of gravity, if I recall correctly, this is not how the scientific method works. Infact this is very detrimental to it. This is similar to the God argument religious people use. Its a real shame. I also think Joe made a brilliant counter argument agains neils analogy between hair follicles and gravity, which simply was "we know a lot more about hair follicles than we know gravity" (thus its ok to dig deeper and ask more questions).

[@jobuswayne9354]

Pretty sure "spooky action at a distance " was Einstein's quote decrying quantum entanglement. Not Newton explaining why gravity works.

[@Mike-nf6nf]

Yup. That's exactly what Einstein meant.

[@launchsquid]

Yes, Spooky Action at a Distance was an Einsteinian quote but the concept of action at a distance was a very big and defining limit to Newtons descriptions of Gravity. Newton didn't have the concept of "space-time" being a fabric, he thought of space as a vacuum only, so he wrestled with and failed to answer a mechanism for gravity, he could only make predictions of how it would manifest. He couldn't think of a way for two objects that aren't sharing a medium of something else to affect one another, to him it was action at a distance. What NDT was clumsily trying to say was that when Einstein described the concept of "space/time' and that Mass and energy can curve it, we no longer needed a concept of action at a distance for gravity, we had a medium, it was space/time itself.

[@blindspotspotter.2352]

@@launchsquid wow. Well said. So when Einstein used the " spooky action at a distance" line, was he actually incorporating Newton's "action at a distance " line in order to throw shade at Niels Bohr's quantum physics thesis?

[@launchsquid]

@@blindspotspotter.2352 Einstein famously thought Quantum entanglement was impossible. He believed the universe to followed the principle of locality and that quantum entanglement broke that principal. Einstein rejected the older alternative of action at a distance, such as Newton had invoked when he tried to explain how he saw gravity influencing objects that were unconnected and in a vacuum with no interconnecting medium. Einstein later showed the warping of spacetime was the mechanism for gravity and the connecting medium between celestial objects was spacetime itself. Because Einstein believed any particle or energy state could only be influenced by another particle or energy that is causally linked to it he rejected the notion that action at a distance was a thing. Quantum entanglement allows for two particles to influence one another over infinite distances instantaneously, despite no obvious causal link, so Einstein dubbed it spooky action at a distance as a way to deride it.

All I'm trying to say is that that question gets annoying after a while, I'm annoyed of it of just seeing Neil deal with it countless times in videos. I'm guessing he's probably heard it most of his life so I totally understand why he lost his cool a little bit, I knew the reason right away. Also he didn't know Joe's agenda, he thought he was religious, but when Joe told Neil that he isn't, and the purpose of Joe's question wasn't coming from there at all, Neil backed off as you can see in the video.

I think what he was trying to say is that even though there's no scientific explanation for why the laws of physics seem to be so arbitrary, you don't necessarily have to know the why in order to understand the other things that depend on them. Kind of like back before people could go around the world to prove that it's round, the ancient Greeks could still calculate the circumference of the earth using just the sun and trigonometry. It's just the way he said it made him seem like a dick for no reason

Funnily enough Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman once had almost the exact same conversation in an interview, except he was asked about magnetism. (You can easily find that on youtube by searching "Richard Feynman. Why.") He also struggeled a bit to explain how a physicist views this sort of question. But in my opinion the most helpful quote from that interview was: "When you are explaining a Why, you have to be in some framework that you allow something to be true. Otherwhise you are perpetually asking why."

It's just that Niel's attitude about "why" questions has been jaded over time by religious nut jobs that usually end up invoking the a "god of the gaps" argument every time a science discussion moves to the frontiers of current understanding. He explained this. Quite frankly, if I was him and that is what was really happening, I would have been getting frustrated as well with that kind of William Lane Craig bullshit.

Leave the Flat Earthers and creationists to us semi-educated grunts on KZbin comments and Reddit where we can just have fun with them and walk away when we get bored.

I definitely know Neil is intelligent. But he doesn't want to go deep into certain questions and is very good at changing topics whilst not looking like he is. Neil kept going to philopsical purpose whereas Joe just wanted the science but he couldn't go that deep into it because science is based on results and not necessarily understanding to the point degree of Joe's essential point of question.

Honestly seeing this video multiple times now, I can understand the frustration of Neil as well of Joe. Neil is saying that there’s pretty much a point where there’s literally no point in trying to keep figuring out the why is works because it could be way far from our knowledge but still making sense that for right now there’s no point in keep trying to understand more of it if we have understood it enough to know how to use it and how it works. I side 50% with Neil there. Now my other 50% is with Joe in the sense that I really believe that for us to ever even reach such fantasies(right now) of traveling at the speed of light and travel planets and galaxies at an extreme velocity(safely) we MUST keep asking how and why gravity is what it is. Maybe also the path into understanding dark matter more as well. I’m no physicist so obviously no expert in the matter but both make sense to me. If science has reached a certain place where we can’t understand more about gravity then I guess it’s just a waiting game on the spawn of a brain in which can further understand and reach new knowledge of the universe.
