Mysteries of Modern Physics by Sean Carroll

[@hairybear7705]

Not an "um" or an "ah". But a continuous unbroken flow of rational, logical information. What a pleasure to listen to. A lecturer of the highest order. Bravo!

[@ossiedunstan4419]

Their is nothing rational about Sean Carroll. He is the poster boy for ignorance in science.

[@2fast2block]

Stop it, he's not logical. 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. Creation had to be done supernaturally at some point.

[@peterallen973]

[@ALavin-en1kr]

He is very personable and articulate. I enjoy listening to him. Of course he is an atheist as are most physicists. They believe in one dimension only; the elemental. They do not know of or acknowledge three dimensions: Consciousness; Mind; Elements. Consciousness being fundamental; Mind; elemental and the physical dimension also elemental; grosser or denser elements; all emerging with quantum events. That is why there is the hard problem of consciousness for atheistic philosophy and science as they see one dimension only.

[@The22on]

Sean says that he never gets tired of being amazed at the human imagination and at Nature's stubborn insistence on following its rules of physics. But I will never get tired of listening to Sean describe how this universe works. His enthusiasm, his clarity, and his stubborn insistence on giving a fair hearing to all sides of controversies in physics is joyful to behold. Sean refuses to remain stuck in the mud of mysteries, but instead lays out the directions we can go and patiently awaits the march of science to determine the best direction. He reminds me of the "color commentator" at NFL football games. He doesn't just give "nuts and bolts" statistics of how many yards were gained. He tells stories of the players on and off the field and how that relates to their performance in the game. We humans may understand math, but we also understand through a good story. Sean is the master color commentator, telling stories that help us appreciate the "action on the field".

Sean is really a great educator. He is able to illustrate very complex subject matter in a very intuitive and passionate manner. I was really never good a physics in high school esp. when it came to the math and the corresponding formulas. Yet, I feel I have gained some basic understanding of the theories presented here and in other lectures by Carroll and folks like Brian Cox, Richard Feynman and others. I am very much into the arts and I find that the arts and the sciences can inform and inspire each other. Connecting it to the real world. It reminds me of the great and beautiful gothic cathedrals that inspire but were only made possible by understanding physics.

I especially liked his interpretation of connecting Einstein's space curvature with quantum geometry versus energy and entanglement. That is the best interpretation I have witnessed of connecting Einstein's 'Classical Interpretation" of gravity with Quantum Field Theory. I have been looking for someone to describe a possibility and this one seems plausible.

[@math.physics]

As an engineer who has always been passionate about math and physics, I was intrigued by modern physics, despite neither relativity nor quantum mechanics were part of any course syllabus at my university. I studied these subjects on the side and found them really inspiring, I would go as far as to say that they gave me a novel perspective on life itself. That prompted me to create some online courses on Udemy on Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, special and General Relativity. It’s not my job of course, but I love talking about these topics while using some mathematics for “intuition”.

[@SpotterVideo]

Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else.

I have read that Newton also was troubled by his theory's "action at a distance". He kept his discomfort to himself, because he, like others of his day, did not believe in action at a distance in physics. In this regard, he did not differ from Einstein whose Relativity did away with action at a distance. I find that Newton was, in this regard, much further ahead of his time than all other physicists until Einstein, to whom he might have said, "You know, I had been thinking along the same lines! I got as far as calculus, but I had not applied it to the geometry of Riemannian 4-dimensional spaces as you did, because Riemann had not yet been born in my day; but I knew something was wrong"

I think the answer to the quantum mystery is just the idea of quantification itself The universe does not have exact numbers to correspond to it what is rather always in a state of flux An example would be saying that I'm 6 ft tall. It's just an approximation. Someone's exact height is always changing but we give an approximate estimate This is the same with all quantification. It's only accurate within the margin of error Height weight, any mathematical description of a system is just an approximation In reality the electron is distributed in a cloud and always will be But when we give mathematical descriptions of a system we're basically giving an approximation that has some utility Therefore all the terms like superposition wave function duality, they're all just terms to give some Precision to something that'll always be Beyond quantification It's like the shape of the Earth you can say it's a sphere or an oblong spheroid and that is more accurate than saying it's flat But the utility is always based on a relative system. in reality the shape of the earth is always changing slightly Anyway can someone hit me back and see how we can get these ideas being discussed by physicists like Sean Carroll I think what I'm saying here is a more basic idea then the many-worlds In reality many worlds is just a an attempt to give Precision to the universe the same way we give Precision to the shape of the Earth. But in reality such linguistic terms will never capture the Nuance nature of reality. I think it's more fundamental to just say that quantification will always be accurate within the margin of error and that the actuality of reality can never be precisely described in any way that is true for all Observers. So again the fundamental mystery or Indescribable nature is due to an attempt to quantify what is beyond quantification in an ultimate sense!

@@SernasHeptaDimesionalSpace If the theorem can be theoretically proved in a closed loop backed by axioms, that'll be a good enough thing. For now, it's more like metaphysics, indeed.

[@SernasHeptaDimesionalSpace]

@@ingathrise Math works well to understand QM as well the cosmos but it does not look that they are in the right truck or right frame, if every thing is made of light then matter must to be acomodated as the rainbow shows, even light follows atomic waight why not matter?, Einstein, Hubble as well Neuton might be right at the yellow level that we are but as soon we look out to another level they are out of the game because they must to recalibrate to that level. - In quantum mecanics light aplies cause the photon is still light even if it is in the form of a cloud still is light and cant be at all places cause the north are gaseous and south are rocky ones same as our solar system that the inside circle are made by the 4 rocky planets and the gaseous are made by the 4 gaseous ones, the sun is the neutral part as well is the bottom of the system cause we all go in levels even stars. - I do have my channel based in colors as the rainbow based in a Mayan Callender as well a DNA picture. Recomend you to see the video: HOW GOOD IS THE EVIDENCE FOR DARK ENERGY? you might be surprised. If Dr Subir and team are right then my work make sense by speaking of levels, my guess from all I have done is that they will be correct.

Very intriguing lecture, many thanks

[@Im-just-Stardust]

Sean is a great exemple of an open minded scientist, it is very nice to see. Krauss or Neil Degrasse Tyson on the other hand, are the perfect examples of a close minded scientists, almost religious in a sense. If he's asked a question he doesn't know the answer, he will tell you : Look, I can measure the phenomena, if that is not enough for you, you can stay here playing with your '' Whys '', while me and my colleagues continue to go forward. He will then look at you with the most ... arrogant face in the world. Which to me is unnaceptable, in the scientific world. So I totally believe Sean when he says that the scientist that was asking questions was ''gently'' tossed away. Sry for my bad english.

[@johnzapata2837]

I totally agree with you. A lot of famous science personalities will quickly say, “that’s not my field, go somewhere else for that.” Yet, science in general has colonized other domains of knowledge. Science is the new cosmology and philosophy. The scope of science is accurate but limited, you can’t encapsulate the world with just science; nonetheless, they keep trying.

@Bertrand de Born WOW! Somebody deeply hurted you to make you so angry....but you and some others are the MEN who found out the TRUTH about modern physics....LOL.

[@barlart]

I totally agree with Joe Gelman below. Sean Carrol is brilliant and inspiring teacher exactly in the tradition of the Great Richard Feynman in whose chair Prof Carroll actually sits both metaphorically and literally as he often points out at the beginnings of his talks. I have some his books in audible format simply because I like the sound of his voice. His proof that Death really is the end (see the youTube video) inspires one to live this one to the full as its the only one you'll get. Of course, if we are simply running as simulations in our own future descendents' super-computers then let's hope no-one switches the power off which would amount to the same thing.

[@bonesofanidol]

[@rikardtvedby3206]

I love listening to his lectures. Such a brilliant man. Judging by his choise of suit and tie he clearly aims at maintaining a low entropy state in style for much longer than Einstein.

[@impactguide]

One could argue though, by viewing tieknots as a self avoiding random walk on a triangular lattice (see www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~tmf20/TIES/PAPERS/paper_nature.pdf), that a state of even lower entropy could have been achieved by tying the tie into a "Oriental" style tieknot (a tie knot wich requires only four moves: left, right, center, tie), instead of what looks to be a (very stylish) "Half-Windsor" (requiring seven moves: left, right, center, left, right, center, tie). On the other hand, a Half-Windsor looks tidier, so that may make the Sean Carroll system as a whole at least appear less entropic :P

You know, the original "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" still makes a better lyric.

[@onebylandtwoifbysearunifby5475]

This may be profound. It is easier to move through time than space. So "nearby" is preferred. The fastest you can go through space is 45 degrees on reference diagram(speed of light). But 90 degrees of range is available in the Time direction (2x45). SC knows Relativity, so i wonder what implications he may be making?

[@naimulhaq9626]

Maldacena conjectured that the whole universe is QC function evolving from a single wave function. Phase transition of non-life matter to life and consciousness is also a QC function. We just don't know the self-error correcting algorithm of QC function that eliminates randomness/chance (fine tuning of the parameter space) to achieve probability one state.

[@chriscross9505]

I am a layman. I have a relatively limited education, but it seems to me that gravity is such a surprisingly weak force because it is diluted if you will and spread across all the "many worlds" or possible states. The other forces are not and are local to each possible state. Sorry, I'll show myself out . .

[@MrMichiel1983]

That is actually one of the concepts out there, but the standard idea is that it leaks from our "brane", meaning our 3D/4D slice of a higher dimensional object, into those higher dimensions. It's more related to a multiverse idea stemming from String theory, rather than the one stemming from quantum dynamics (but these might turn out to be one and the same, or both active, or both false). What I wonder about is whether the notion of a quantum multiverse fits in that String theory perspective. On the one hand yes, since one could argue that the quantum bifurcation of universes happens in another dimension. On the other hand no, because bifurcation is fractal, instead of plane-filling in nature. If you're right, one could imagine then that if the universe wouldn't split, gravity would be stronger, because it didn't leak. We could perhaps test that in a bubble of Bose-Einstein condensate. Perhaps we would see that gravity is altered inside the bubble, being stronger than otherwise expected.

[@chriscross9505]

@Ahura There seems to be no explanation as to why gravity is such a weak force. My guess, if correct, could explain that. String theorists have a similar opinion based on far more knowledge than I bring to the table.

[@chriscross9505]

@Ahura Look it up but there are only theories and guesses. I can't see how any of this is testable or how any experiment could be devised to prove it. It seems strange that only gravity would be constant across all dimensions/worlds/branes but if true it would explain why gravity is so weak.

[@chriscross9505]

@Ahura I just found this. It's a very short video but might wet your appetite to look outside classical physics. I am really out of my depth here and only class myself as "fascinated." kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWilkpWfqdtnfMk It's a 4 minute clip from 2008 and only speaks of one other parallel universe. Sean Carroll (who's ideas fascinate me the most) takes this much further and theorizes about infinite universes.

[@TheAudinator]

But all the forces would be spread out to the other worlds too? By that logic, I don’t think it’s useful to think about the other worlds of the multiple worlds hypothesis as having any effect on our universe, they are disconnected from us are they not?

[@biancazeroway650]

Serious question: when we talk about quantum mechanics, I imagine... stuff... that is so small it is impossible to see with thr naked eye, so people use machines to "observe" particular (re)actions. So what does he mean by "we don't know why when we LOOK at it, it doesn't act like a wave" ? Clearly the act of observing, done through a machine or whatever experiment they're doing, acts upon the quantum element and changes the way it acts when "observed". So I want to know how do they "observe" the elements without affecting them?

I once quoted Mitch Hedberg while TAing an intro to electronics course because students in the lab couldn’t tell me what a “resistor” does. “I wanna have a job in the ‘kitchen appliance naming’ industry. That seems like a cool job to me. Toaster, blender, refridgerator.… just say what the thing does, and then add ‘-er’! What’s this thing do? It keeps shit fresh. Well, that’s a fresher. I’m going on break.” Crickets. My delivery was so bad.
