Mindscape 144 | Solo: Are We Moving Beyond the Standard Model?

[@Titus873]

There is no doubt you are a great scientist, but you are much MUCH better speaker. You make so easy to understand complicated things with your simple reasoning and most important, with the way you explain emphasizing the important things with the perfect pauses. You remind me to Feynman indeed. I love to hear you. Thanks for being such a great and humble speaker.

This was such a great episode. Thank you Sean 👍

[@captainzappbrannagan]

Great summary here. I find it so strange this world we live in where Sean Carroll has to read adds in the middle of his excellent summary of quantum field theory. Who TF gives this a thumbs down? What could the reasons be?

[@baraka99]

I love hearing you talk smart although I don't comprehend most of it :)

[@paxdriver]

That means you're really getting it, to quote Bohr and Feynman 😜

[@rc5989]

Enjoyed every minute! Thanks for shedding some light on the lattice QCD theorists’ method and possibly why it arrives at a different result versus the result calculated for G-2 at FermiLab.

Sabine Hossenfelder posted a good companion piece to this a few days ago.

[@EKDupre]

Dr. Hossefelder has one badass mind. Have you checked out her music?

[@ruk3d]

She doesn't like MWI ((( At least in this branch xD

Just discovered Sabine because of your comment. Cheers mate

Videos are more understandable than audios because an audience can concentrate more towards the impressions of the speaker. Thanks by the way, Prof.

[@robbowman8770]

I've been anticipating you covering this. Glad you have ... the solos are my favourite episodes. Thank you.

[@sirilandgren]

The only flaw of this episode is that it isn't 5 hours long. ❤️

[@Zheeraffa1]

Perhaps if you approached the podcast at a speed really close to _c_ it would appear longer.

[@robhappier]

If this muon g-2 anomaly is caused by quantum gravity (quantum vacuum energy state of matter), than this anomaly could help explain how self-aware consciousness and free will works. A human mind probably exist at the quantum energy level (quantum vacuum energy state of matter) that supersedes classical physics (the ordering of cause and effect of the observable physical universe). This superseding property is necessary to have free will. It allows human beings (with God's help) to overcome their emotions, biases, other preconceived ideas, and instantaneous temptations.

[@highwaymen1237]

Seems like the thousands of people working on particle physics could spend a year or two and solve Fusion energy production. If global warming is such a crisis I think we're misallocating resources.

[@MrFaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Thanks for turning off midroll ads man

[@paulc96]

Many thanks Professor Sean. Great podcast as always. You do manage to explain things so clearly. And I do particularly enjoy your Solo podcasts. Can we all assume that you will continue the Mindscape podcasts after your move from Caltech? Thanks again.

Sean Carroll, I don’t know what any of this shit means. But I watch it. And I read your books. And I pretend I understand. But if I don’t, that’s fine. Because In another branch of the universe, I do understand it crystal clear. ;)

i follow sean's work too, i read his books like novels. it is really nice to have smart and compassionate people in my life.

Ta for your latest book, it helped clarify things and helped me understand Many Worlds better, I'd be very interested in what you think of Lee Smolin's latest work (with a wider team) either on your own or with a discussion with him. Thanks for your work Sean.

Quantum muon transitions are the perfect vehicle to produce heavier bosonic lasers involving the weak force bosons.

[@scottdc2105]

Sean, I share your initials as well as growing up in the same general vicinity in Bucks county, Pa. I have spent the last 25 years working out alternative theories on everything from gravity to the big bang. How do i go about publishing this info, im finding out getting an article published in a peer reviewed journal is not inexpensive. I may be biased but i believe my theories are viable and most likely. I am in the process of writing a book and i have a lot to learn for the journey im undertaking, do you have any tips or knowledge you can impart to me to keep me from getting frustrated from hitting the walls i know that will be in my way.

[@dandoccontroller5789]

What about Tetra- or Penta-Quarks though?

[@davidseed2939]

i have na idea for the lattice method. if the lattice is a discrete grid method which presumably is as fine as can be used and still have the problem finish in time. Then, try coarser grids and look at the curve of result value agains 1/n^2 . The discretisation error is something like 1/n^2 , or maybe some other power depending on how it is done. Then you may be able to extrapolate to n=infinity EDIT, I feel fool for thinking I knew better. They alredy do this sort of thing as can be seen in figure 34 of arxiv.org/pdf/hep-lat/9807028.pdf

[@psmoyer63]

But the standard model of particle physics isn't about particles. What if it was? It's fun to think about what would happen to the vacuum of space if particles weren't actually fields.

[@charlypineapple5514]

Does anyone get the blog Sean mentioned ?

[@yinyang2385]

Why is the many worlds theory favored over the possibility of a single parallel dimension? If we were to consider that during the bigbang the Universe split into two dimensions due to conflicting properties between the elements governed by the law of physics, relativity and the elements governed by quantum physics. Which meant that all physical matter ended up on one side and all its energy signature, vibration, frequencies and subatomic properties ended up in another dimension. And if both dimensions were entangled and overlayed on top of one another in a way where they operated in sync the same way hardware works together with software to run a program. Would that interpretation conflict with the equations that have lead to the many worlds interpretation?

[@sameer9732]

Prof. Carroll, what are your views on Erik Verlinde's theory of Entropic Gravity

[@oraz.]

What if some new physics gives a mechanism for the emdrive to work?

[@jarofeyes8590]

If black holes exist in what sense can you weigh anything ? What is it your weighing ?

[@Sirach-pv5xv]

Is there any likelihood of harnessing Muons like Electrons? ~Muon-tricity~

[@ferneum3578]

The problem with using muons is that they decay into electrons after a very short time.

[@Sirach-pv5xv]

Lol, ya I figured as much. But, ya never know

[@wesleycolemanmusic]

32:41 sounds like an infomercial...

[@kadourimdou43]

Could the Mass Hierarchy problem be because of interactions with Virtual Quantum Fields. Can differing strongly Coupled fields, create the difference in the masses of the three generations? Edit:In relation to say other 0 Spin particles like the Higgs

[@metatron5199]

This is already taken into account, but yes this is what is meant when ppl are saying this may be a sign of a new particle and potentially it even being a force i.e. It would be the virtual particles that would be interacting w/ the muon which is currently unaccounted for (obviously this applies only when speaking in QFT or the like models...) which is what is contributing to the muon. Now that I reread your question your actually asking an entirely different question, which I believe you mean to ask about the mass gap problem and why there is three generations... well it's slightly related to what I've stated above but is even more complex... and no they wouldn't necessarily be "strongly" coupled fields at...but there could be more than one type of Higgs field though this seems unlikely currently, just do some searching and you will find the list of various reasoning to answer that problem, everything from the more likely candidates to the highly speculative....

Hey Sean, I believe I have a solid theory or at least a very logical theory on dark matter and dark energy. I havent heard it anywhere from anyone and listen to everything I can. I'd like to now if this theory is talked about in your circles. I'm not a crack pot I'd love to share it with you to see what you think. If your curious please respond I'm not sure if you read these.TO Anyone reading if curious enough I'd love to get a conversation going. Thanks

[@uninspired3583]

You may not be, but every person I've previously encountered that prefaced their idea with "I'm not a crackpot", I *immediately think I'm dealing with a crackpot. First question would be, do you have access to the kind of equipment that can measure the movement of galaxies?

Hello sir , i have an irrelevant question, can you please tell me, does decoherence governs the energy level of a particle ? I mean because it can not be in between orbitals

Aww Sean. A podcast on YT not especially compelling despite your brilliance. There is an expectation of a visual component.

[@--Valek--]

Dark matter, energy, does not exist.

[@yinyang2385]

How do you support that claim?

[@smith5796]

😆😆😆

[@AGodForTheAtheist]

All we see or hear is just a perception of the vibrating energy. We call angstroms and decibels which are not physical but are electromagnetic energy. We take that on off energy vibrations and like the binary system they are we give those vibrations meanings. 10011100 etc. All this is just defined in our mind in an attempt to give our existence purpose and meaning. I think therefore I am and tell them I am has sent you and in the beginning was the word are all just a way to communicate the concept of our self aware consciousness which is how WE CREATED this universe as an expression of that self awareness... nothing is physical everything is just defined by our consciousness into existence

[@kuroryudairyu4567]

♥️🙏❤️😌💪😊

[@AGodForTheAtheist]

It all starts with self awareness.. I think therefore I am... with that sapient consciousness expressed as dark matter positive dark energy = 10011100 with which we CREATE the entire universe in our one mind or consciousness.. 1001110 vibration of our self awareness. We CREATE the universe like the firing of synapses.... arfghh
