Neil Turok: My Advice to Physicists

[@Thedudeabides803]

Loved this discussion. Anyone have an idea of what Eric Weinstein’s theory is? I’m on a quest for an explanation in a few sentences but apparently this theory doesn’t appear to exist. I’m very curious why nobody can explain it.

[@aprylvanryn5898]

It exists it's just really hard to explain without a lot of math and physics knowledge. I don't personally buy 14 dimensions but he's trying something new at least. Sorry I can't be more helpful but explaining vectors and 720° rotations is not my area of expertise.

[@TheMemesofDestruction]

I’m not gonna say I can sum it up well at all let alone a few sentences. An attempt to geometrically unify the parameters of Quantum Field Theory to a high enough degree of accuracy that General Relativity emerges. Here’s a 10 minute video of Dr. Weinstein in his own words. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6eUapiaZsRslZI - Link to Professor Keating’s original Video linked in the description. 🍻 ^.^

He has a website dedicated to it I just found in .2 seconds on google.

[@maymkn]

Good to see theorists waking up one by one. These dudes had become pure mystics. I love this!

[@cosminvisan520]

Matter doesn't exist. "Matter" is just an idea in consciousness. For more details, see my papers, like "Meaning and Context: A Brief Introduction".

[@tomusic8887]

Hello sir, I need more! I am just a simple man who is interested, but this sounds like common sense which is so much needed in all fields of life these days! Keep n the good work 👍

[@eriklintsev]

Sounds like Wolfram's New Kind of Science approach, thanks 🙏

[@alkman9880]

My advice to you Neal is, before dispensing any advice, to consider that experimentalists A) need the theorist to guide on how to design the experiment B) are bound by the engineering evolution of their equipment to run ANY experiment. Therefore, advisor Neal, if nature were to wait for the experimentalists to reveal its truth to us, we’d be constantly behind. CASE IN POINT: THE HIGGS FIELD; Such field existed waaaayyyyyy before the experimentalists ‘found’ it and the first human to discuss its existence was HIGGS. so peter higgs ( a theorist, and his mathematical imagination ) was the first human to reveal an element of nature we didnt know…. NOT THE EXPERIMntalists at cern!!!! Other cases in point: Mercury precession and Einstein. Antimatter discovery and Paul Dirac And the list goes on and on! I dont quite get ehat has gotten into you and your friend sabrina to talk about mathematical modelling on the tems that you do but to be fair, perhaps you should try to apply your advices to physicists like Sean Carroll, Roger Penrose, max tegmark and the alike ( you get my drift). See what feedback you get from them regarding this enamorement for the experiment you seem to have I d like to see you in front of those physiscts in a world science festival setting, all political correctness gloves off, and you trying to defend your advices here against the physicists I mentioned above….see how that debate will work for you…..and good lick with that! Oh! Did I forget to mention carlo rovelli, Laura croughton, Lee smolin, and so many others I am now too tired to remember? Have you ever told them what you are telling us here? And if so, how did it go? Finally, mind you: I AM AN INDEPENDENT OBSERVER: neither a theoretician nor an experimentalist and by trade an applied enginneering physicist ( and yet, despite all the concreteness and practicality of my profession, I find your arguments against the beauty and practicality of the theory, quite childish!!)

In my opinion the first problem of quantum mechanics is that 2 non-entangled particles can show by chance the same statistical correlation as 2 entangled particles, for a time.

[@chyfields]

If there is a Creator, none of our equations factor in design purpose as a variable. This omission may be science's biggest and most arrogant error.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

It's not arrogant and definitely not an error, it's being realistic. 0 evidence of a creator has been presented or found so it is not considered. Science does not depend on gut feelings or wishful thinking. Believe what you will, but science is based on measurable facts.

[@AmbivalentInfluence]

The questionable assumption is that particles are fundamental, the Standard Model did not exist until the CMB was formed. QM describes an insignificant consequence within the universe. We have deluded ourselves because QM is fundamental to us and 'things', this is anthropomorphism and ego.

[@markberman6708]

I recently wrote to a friend that to break out of our world and solar system and beyond current made up barriers we need sciency, mathy folks that are humble in their brilliance and simple in their quests for going from 1896 man will never fly to the Space Shuttle in under a Century. Beware the dangers of comforts created with zones of self satisfication is the politest way I can say it. There is much to discover and over come still, none of which will occur within circular logic whizzing around inside a three sided cube. Wonderful interview.

[@CACBCCCU]

One word: dipoles.

[@matterasmachine]

there is only one particle. And it's discrete machine. Quantum o matter.

imagination is a wonderful thing, don't you think?

[@markberman6708]

Synchronicity, Chaos, Simplicity.... all else lay beneath these. Coherence and String may explain the intersectionality of the three... what a fun $2 dollar word for saying a web connects them all. It also explains how the speed of light, is just the speed of light. This show is brilliant.

[@tonymarshharveytron1970]

Hellow Dr. Keating, and professor Turok. I totally agree with the sentiment of this video, that simple is best, or more presisely, logically is best. I have just completed an hypothesis, which very simply, using one statement put forward defending the big bang, that completey destroys it, and shows that the CMB is not what it is said to be. I would be happy to send you a copy, if there was some secure way to send it. Kind regards. Tony Marsh.

[@tonywells6990]

You must also totally agree that your idea is most likely completely wrong!

[@tonymarshharveytron1970]

@@tonywells6990 Hellow Tony, thank you for your reply. Having not seen what my hypothesis consists of, how can you say that it must be wrong? I can assure you that I cna totally debunk the big bang theory. Can you honestly believe that everything in the universe can posibly emerge from a point smaller than an atom, and inflate to the size of the universe in a fraction of a billionth of a second. I would be really interested in your reply. Kind regards, Tony Marsh.

[@tonywells6990]

@@tonymarshharveytron1970 I was joking around what Turok says about theories, that they are almost always wrong. Good luck debunking the big bang though.

[@tonymarshharveytron1970]

@@tonywells6990 Hello Tony, thanks for the reply. May I ask, are you an accademic working in the field? If so, you may be interested in my hypothesis challenging the standard model. Kind regards, Tony Marsh.

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

do experimentalists make predictions to test theories? theorists use physical data to develop models of physical reality; experimentalists use.models to make predictions for testing theories?

[@jimmyjasi-anti-descartes7088]

He's so modest yet dedicated to improve scientific method. So unlike Elon

[@Thedudeabides803]

Elon is providing technology to further the human race with electronic vehicles and reduce the need for carbon. Incredible the hate he gets. I would guess it’s because he fights for things democrats used to fight for like freedom of speech. When has silencing discussion ever turned out well? Bernie sanders is a man I believe has the correct beliefs on this subject much like Elon. Elon is an independent free thinker and the tribalism of the left wing bludgeons people for having their own thoughts of reason. It’s a see it my way mentality or I’ll crush you. The left wing has lost it way. Independents will come together and get our freedoms back. This silencing of speech comes from a place that reminds one of Nazi Germany. My way or no way.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

Elon is not dedicated to improve scientific method? You gotta be kidding.

seems like an endless quest!

[@rebellion-starwars]

And yet he jumped to conclusions that omuaomua was a alien ship without any evidence whatsoever. I always enjoyed listening Dr Turok and I do enjoy when he's speculating because his mind is working on another level and I enjoy in science fiction so he always hits me even if he's wrong it doesn't matter. :) peace

This is a great talk, will definitely watch the whole discussion now. Top argument and I agree with him, happy to hear a professional say this and stick to the basics
