Michio Kaku: "Without Quantum Physics, You Disappear!" [THIS IS WORLD]

[@anxious_robot]

Yes, finally (!) someone realizes we live in a world that's not real.

[@lynnsadler4392]

How is it not real

[@lynnsadler4392]

What does that mean

[@Dr.Mabuse105O]

interesting

[@markoszouganelis5755]

Thank you!🌈

You’re welcome

thank you!

Keep it up buddy

Why does quantum mechanics have to be unified with general relativity? Why can't they just work on their respective levels. Why can't we just accept that physics operates differently at different scales? Maybe that's where the answer is. What is it about size that changes how physics operates? Afterthought: What if there are infinite scales with different kinds of physics on each level?

[@xbeelzebub666x]

Caz acceptance is a part of religion, not science.

[@Cringe-at-the-Fringe]

@xbeelzebub666x No. I mean in terms of scales. You see, it's a fact that you're talking about scales when you refer to "micro" and "macro." We know this already. You already "accept" this. What we don't know is why.

[@flatisland]

because simply put GR is "valid" for radiuses down to zero. But at the subatomic level that would mean that for example electrons would spiral into atoms and so atoms would not exist. But since they do GR cannot be valid down to infinitesimal distances. Here QM comes into play. But the question is how to unite both i.e. how to develop a framework that allows both GR and QM working in unison. M. Kaku suggests that string theory is the only theory that achieves that. unfortunately it cannot be verified. Hence people are looking for testable alternatives but in a hundred years or so haven't find one yet.

[@Cringe-at-the-Fringe]

@flatisland suggesting that the macro is somehow manifested at every point of a quantum superposition in some alternate dimension is in the realm of hypothesis only. They ought to call it String Hypothesis instead of String Theory.

[@flatisland]

@@Cringe-at-the-Fringe I think that if there were separate realms of reality - for example the macro and the micro then you could also indeed separate them from each other. But since we are living in a universe where the macro and the micro intertwine and blend into each other fluently it seems to me that there must be a rule or set of rules that apply to both at the same time, i.o.w. a TOE has to exist.

Портного игла человечеству давно известна. Но стоило Зингеру, ушко иглы перенести … . То же самое нужно проделать и с опытом Майкельсона Морли 1881/2024 г. Этот опыт нужно перенести на самолёт или автомобиль и будет Вам сюрприз и прогресс в Большой науки. А так по старинке, будем всё штопать тёмные да черные дырочки.

Dissolve in a mist of sub atomic particles, just call me Misty. ?

[@mysticone1798]

I think Roger Penrose is right. Quantum physics is incorrect.

[@djmagnitize]

A lot of assertions being made for a theory that we can't test and for a theory they swore particle accelerators would confirm their predictions yet still nothing.

[@mugflub]

Has he not realized that his supposed theory, which is more of a hypothesis, has made practically no progress since its inception?

[@stopnerfingzed3604]

it's backed by solid maths , and if anyone has a better theory then by all means let them share it with the world.

[@randomlyfactually]

@@mugflub Don't forget, it took over 40 years for us to even observe gravitational waves, yet they were still predicted mathematically. For us to observe something as sensitive as strings making up space-time itself and all the particles themselves would require technology that is most likely not yet invented, which means since it's introduction in 1970, maybe it could take even 100 years to prove string theory!.

[@amateurmakingmistakes]

@@randomlyfactually And even the existence of the Higgs Boson!

This is the most useless piece of research in the history of physics! “String theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses!” - R Feynman

[@paulronnau5915]

Thanks for your contributions.

[@papalaz4444244]

String Theory is rapidly becoming a joke.

[@boxer8657992]

Well how about haircut first

Not really necessary
