String Theory was not a waste of time. Geometry is the key to Math and Physics. What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: "A theory that you can't explain to a bartender is probably no damn good." Ernest Rutherford The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics? 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. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). 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 a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. 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" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry. Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Mesons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. The twist in the torus can either be Right-Hand or Left-Hand. Some twisted donuts can be larger than others, which can produce three different types of neutrinos. 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. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons? Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension? Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature.

I just finished Noether's Theorem, ready for more symmetry! Bring on the Higgs!

[@lardmaster4349]

This video finally answers a question that’s been bothering me for a long time… why is charge conserved? To summarise, 1) Conserving charge means satisfying a charge continuity equation. 2) Lagrangian density of a field is rotationally symmetric in complex space as it is the product of a complex field and its conjugate, which depends only on the magnitude of the field and not its angle. 3) From Noether’s Theorem, if we choose a symmetry such that dL = 0 - such as the rotation symmetry in complex space - then we get a conserved quantity Q. This quantity is a bunch of derivatives in space and time now since the field is itself also a function of space and time. This is the continuity equation which conserves charge. I’m not clear on why taking the covariant derivative preserves symmetry - in changing the definition of the derivative, why should the system be symmetric in the same way as with normal derivatives? On another note, I would really look forward to more in-depth explanations on the last bit involving Maxwell’s Equations, and perhaps a video or problem sheet on how substituting plane waves into N gives rise to the number of particles minus the number of anti-particles.

[@PhysicswithElliot]

Glad it helped Lard! After replacing the ordinary derivatives with covariant derivatives, the theory is invariant under rotations for any angle \alpha(X), as long as the potential simultaneously transforms as A_\mu -> A_\mu + d_\mu \alpha. When \alpha is a constant, though, that doesn't do anything to A_\mu and so the theory still has the same global rotation symmetry of \phi. Introducing the covariant derivative does change the Noether current from what it was originally, though, which I glossed over in the video because it's a technical point of this particular example and doesn't happen in QED.

I was disappointed that despite having studied so much mathematics I was still so far away from understanding these ideas. A semester later after being fed up with the lack of math and physics, I transferred over to the math department and graduated with a double major in math 😅 Now years after my undergrad I'm self-studying physics and am this close 👉👈 to finally understanding gauge theory.

4-vectors (and F, the not a matrix, rather it's a tensor) are more than notations. It's how to do relativity in Minkowski space. Pretty sure I didn't see a QED Lagrangian until a year or two after I was using 4-momentum to solve kinematic problems.

[@aleksandr_berdnikov]

I like to think that the solution is to compactify it even more:) Thinking of a vector not of as a collection of numbers, but as a geometrical object ("arrow") that doesn't intrinsically have any numbers in it, and translate everything else into this "visible object" mindset, as contrasted to "numerical components you employ to break things to the default of decimals". At least that what helps me a lot to digest stuff. And I'd argue that having a handle of coordinate-free understanding of a given formula is a good indicator of whether you _really_ understand it.

He had the capacity and insight to aggregate and synthesise these ideas. And that is what defined his genius.

[@schmetterling4477]

No, not really. You have to transition from real and complex to operator valued quantities in addition and introduce commutation relations. A lot of the theory can be carried out at the level of the classical Lagrangian, but when it comes to calculating cross sections etc. then you have to apply a quantization procedure like the path integral formalism and then proceed with e.g. perturbation theory and renormalization.

Hence quantum field theory EXPLAINS the existence of electric charges. I classical physics electric charges and associated forces are postulated ad-hoc. In contrast, the general statement that particles are described by complex local fields + adding the requirement of invariance under arbitrary local gauge (phase) translation, together mandate the existence of electric charges and the specific associated forces. For me that's a major explanatory contribution of quantum mechanics. Somehow I have never seen it stated as such in physics text books.

At 21:43, I think the correct equation should be: dL = (EoM * epsilon) + d(Q * epsilon)/dt As always, the video was great at intuitively explaining such complex equation to us mortals.

Also, I think derivation of continuity equation through variation of phase angle was bit rushed which is odd when compared to your older videos where you show all calculation step diligently.

Conservation of Spatial Curvature: Both Matter and Energy described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature. (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. An artificial Christmas tree can hold the ornaments in place, but it is not a real tree. String Theory was not a waste of time, because Geometry is the key to Math and Physics. However, can we describe Standard Model interactions using only one extra spatial dimension? What did some of the old clockmakers use to store the energy to power the clock? Was it a string or was it a spring? What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Fixing the Standard Model with more particles is like trying to mend a torn fishing net with small rubber balls, instead of a piece of twisted twine. Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: “We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.” Neils Bohr (lecture on a theory of elementary particles given by Wolfgang Pauli in New York, c. 1957-8, in Scientific American vol. 199, no. 3, 1958) The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with some aspects of the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose, and the work of Eric Weinstein on “Geometric Unity”, and the work of Dr. Lisa Randall on the possibility of one extra spatial dimension? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics?

Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes.

Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. The twist in the torus can either be Right-Hand or Left-Hand. Some twisted donuts can be larger than others, which can produce three different types of neutrinos. If a twisted tube winds up on one end and unwinds on the other end as it moves through space, this would help explain the “spin” of normal particles, and perhaps also the “Higgs Field”. However, if the end of the twisted tube joins to the other end of the twisted tube forming a twisted torus (neutrino), would this help explain “Parity Symmetry” violation in Beta Decay? Could the conversion of twist cycles to writhe cycles through the process of supercoiling help explain “neutrino oscillations”? Spatial curvature (mass) would be conserved, but the structure could change. ===================== 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. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons?

Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension? Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The production of the torus may help explain the “Symmetry Violation” in Beta Decay, because one end of the broken tube section is connected to the other end of the tube produced, like a snake eating its tail. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process, which is also found in DNA molecules. Could the production of multiple writhe cycles help explain the three generations of quarks and neutrinos? If the twist cycles increase, the writhe cycles would also have a tendency to increase. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. ( Mass=1/Length ) The “Electric Charge” of electrons or positrons would be the result of one twist cycle being displayed at the 3D-4D surface interface of the particle. The physical entanglement of twisted tubes in quarks within protons and neutrons and mesons displays an overall external surface charge of an integer number. Because the neutrinos do not have open tube ends, (They are a twisted torus.) they have no overall electric charge. Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms. In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137. 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter? Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles? I started out imagining a subatomic Einstein-Rosen Bridge whose internal surface is twisted with either a Right-Hand twist, or a Left-Hand twist producing a twisted 3D/4D membrane. This topological Soliton model grew out of that simple idea. I was also trying to imagine a way to stuff the curvature of a 3 D sine wave into subatomic particles. .------------------

I have two requests :-) Please make a video on 1) spontaneous symmetry breaking, and 2) the Higgs mechanism. Ideally they would not be too hand-wavy, and include some mathematically accurate-ish toy examples :-)

[@maurocruz1824]

This is so great! Keep going!

[@PhysicswithElliot]

Thanks Mauro!

[@AdrienLegendre]

Well done and an excellent introduction to this topic.

[@youteubakount4449]

Definitely interested in the higgs mechanism as well!

[@suchmooch603]

I am converting to physics now from neuroscience. Sublime!

[@danielgarrison7463]

I now see how intimately vector calculus ties in with QM, for example divergence theorem.

[@danielgarrison7463]

i commented before you even said divergence theorem at 13:00, thats actually kind of funny

[@michaelpotter3418]

Thank you so much for your brilliant teaching!

[@pabloagsutinnavavieyra2308]

This video's are great. However I think they would greatly improve if they had a better timing. Like for example at 15:20 (among other moments in the video) you are saying some really important stuff but passing through it very fast. 3b1b used to suffer from this in the past. I understand that this would make the video longer, but perhaps it can be splitted in two better paced videos. At least that's my two cents from a person who wants to understand better all this amazing material you are throwing into the world. Keep the amazing work! I live this channel!

[@pabloagsutinnavavieyra2308]

I mean, it just felt a tiny tiny rushed. Not so much but yeah I went back a couple of times and then slowed it to ×.75 to grasp all what was said clearly. Would love if it was like at "×.8" or "×.85".

[@Karlswebb]

Symmetry groups are the universe. The universe, in my view, a mathematical truth/structure. It (reality) is what happens when you have these mathematical objects called quantum fields defined on a manifold (spacetime) in some type of initial ordered/low entropy state. In theory all possible self consistent mathematical structures exist, so a structure with interacting quantum fields defined on a manifold with more than 3 spatial dimensions can’t exist as any interactions in 4 or more spatial dimensions lead to non-renormalizability, meaning the math becomes nonsensical and inconsistent so it can’t occur. But one in 2 spatial dimensions probably could, in 3 or less spatial dimensions qft’s can be interacting and renormalizable (meaning they are predictive).

[@Nekuzir]

I knew Jay-Z would be relevant again someday

[@bobernhardsson5345]

Great. (Small error at 24:42 were some partial derivatives should be wrt. x instead. of t.)

[@microfarad3728]

Awesome. Can you make a video on Yang-Mills theory?

[@Li.Siyuan]

Yes, I like that idea!

[@paxdriver]

👍 Higgs field video would be fantastic

[@PhilipePXF]

Mr. Elliot, if i may make a request, could you please make a video on the indexes (variant/covariant). The only class I took in undergrad that used those were back in 2020, so i didn't learn them as well as i should

[@bosoninfo]

Hi. Awesome videos truly. Can you please make videos on continuum mechanics? Many people with engineering background will definitely appreciate... Thank you so much!!

[@maurocruz1824]

Got a question: in 34:00 after introducing the covariant derivative. Why did you say that that phi has now an electric charge?

[@PhysicswithElliot]

When you switch to the covariant derivative, the current will now show up as a source in Maxwell's equations, so that \phi has become charged and sources electromagnetic fields!

[@hamidk4772]

Outstanding Job.

[@richardneifeld7797]

Very insightful. Good job!

[@LydellAaron]

Amazing work, explaining this so well. Thank you.

[@timoose3960]

Wonderfully explained. What software tools do you use to make these videos? Keep up the good work :)

[@Rubbergnome]

to be annoyingly nitpicky - we only know the Lie algebra of the gauge group of the standard model. There are a few (four, I reckon) globally inequivalent choices for the group itself. great video!

[@felipelopes3171]

Phenomenologically they all give the same physics, since the SM is renormalizable and all calculations are done close to the fixed point of the RG, so this global stuff doesn't show up. Well, technically you could argue that it might make some difference in the confining phase of qcd, but I don't think nonperturbative methods are good enough to distinguish between them too.

[@Rubbergnome]

@@felipelopes3171 Depending on what you mean by "phenomenologically", the spectrum of line operators - possibly carried by dynamical objects as well, as many expect - depends on the global stuff. As for current and foreseeable measurements you're certainly right.

[@arkopro30]

Thanks for a quick but nice review...

[@v_vivek23]

Awesome video

[@PhysicswithElliot]

Thanks Vivek!

[@ricardodelzealandia6290]

Are these topics covered in your course(s) Elliot?

[@lorinbenedict]

Hello Elliot, I have a question: Let's go back to just the simple (complex) Klein-Gordon equation with which you begin your explanation. You demonstrated the conserved charge a la Noether by considering just an infinitessimal alpha in the U(1) exp(i*alpha) factor. So here is my question... is there anything more that can be gained by invoking a similar argument but for the full NON-infinitessimal value of alpha (since the symmetry works for ANY value of alpha)? Does one end up with a "stronger" statement of charge conservation this way? I'm guessing that the answer is "No", since the continuity equation for charge "is what it is". But if not, then WHY not? Or is it just simply that since any NON-infinitessimal-alpha U(1) transformation can be built up by successive application of infinitessimal-alpha U(1) transformations, considering ANY old value of alpha carries no more information than considering just an infinitessimal one? Thanks!

[@lorinbenedict]

OK, further contemplation on my part shows me that my final supposition, above, is certainly correct. Anyway, feel free to respond if you like, even though my question was clearly stupid! :)

[@PhysicswithElliot]

Yes you can build up a finite transformation by putting together many infinitesimal ones, and Noether's theorem only requires the infinitesimal form of the symmetry!

[@eytansuchard8640]

Charge is not assumed in the Geometric Chronon Field Theory. It is an outcome of the Euler Lagrange equations and so is its conservation. The Geometric Chronon Field Theory has symmetries U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3) x SU(4) with U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3) describing an observed space-time. The building blocks of the Geometric Chronon Field Theory are events, not particles. Forces and thus matter, appear where these events do not make geodesic curves thus not allowing measurement of time along geodesic curves. An event wave function's probability sums to 1 on an entire observer manifold. It means the event happens somewhere in the manifold. The misalignment is described by 1, 2, 3 or 4 Reeb vectors (Reeb, 1948, 1952). A scalar field of time is an outcome. In FRWL geometries it can be defined as the maximal time between each event and an initial 3D sub-manifold, e.g. Big Bang as a limit or initial manifold in de Sitter. The definition is not unique. It is a scalar field and not a coordinate because more than one curve can measure the same maximal time to an event. The outcome is mass ratios between particles and the inverse Fine Structure Constant. Also, not only inertial mass generates gravity but also charge does and it generates weak gravity and weak anti-gravity. Charge is however coupled with a non geodesic bivector. Only the entire energy -momentum tensor has a vanishing divergence. If you are interested you can look for Electro-gravity via Geometric Chronon Field and on the Origin of Mass in ResearchGate. This version is light years more advanced and correct than the IARD 2016 one from 2017.

[@AnishKumar-rk2hn]

Very very informative video Please take over the higgs field

[@vikrantsingh4504]

Lets say a photon disintegrated within that unit volume of space thus converting into electron and positron , even though the resultant charge of the system would remain same but there will emergence of charges with that region without entering that unit volume of space as charge that is as current ??? Tell me, what i am missing in this argument , i mean to say explain this thing to me..

[@PhysicswithElliot]

Yes only the net charge has to be preserved

[@bishwajitbhattacharjee-xm6xp]

What if this symmetry breaks or removed as if time is breaking while an object break. Special channel, special thank you. SR has wide ❤️.

[@rigvedsharma1579]

Thank you for this

[@omegapirat8623]

I am interested in learning more about field quantization
