Physics and the meaning of life PART 1 | Sabine Hossenfelder

This is the first part of a two-part course from the Institute of Art and Ideas.
Many have argued that science can provide data but can't answer the real mysteries of the universe, yet Sabine Hossenfelder opposes this position. She asserts that through physics, we can make progress on the existential issues which have gripped philosophers for centuries.
Part one: Introduction to existential physics
Was the universe made for us? What is consciousness? And is it possible that the universe is conscious? Does the universe think?
Join Sabine Hossenfelder as she reveals what physics can teach us about existential issues.

[@ericfarina3935]

Meaning is ascribed. Nature, is the objective reality. There is no boundary between so-called "religion" and so-called "physics", and if you believe otherwise, you have conflated meaning with nature or vice versa. Physicists are just as capable of being blindly dogmatic as theologians, and each are equally as capable of being insightful and understanding.

Excellent presentation from Sabine, as usual. It is comforting to observe how her KZbin following has grown over time. Unlike some scientists, I am not particularly bothered by "we may never know". I think it is pretty clear that we will never know exactly what conditions and events on this planet led to the formation of life. I do believe we will be able to take a well informed guess (a probability), but that is the best we will be able to achieve. This is part of what is referred to as "the human condition". I think it means we humans need to find the meaning of life and existence within ourselves. Based on the current state of humanity, we have some work to do. This kind of content helps the process.

With changes in the economy leading to instability in the stock market, some individuals may face a decrease in their investments in an effort to benefit from the current market conditions, I am considering liquidating my $725k portfolio consisting of bonds and stocks.

[@Kurt5Dobson]

would suggest you thoroughly evaluate the companies you have invested in and their estimated future performance, as we may expect to see the market decline further. To minimize stress and improve efficiency, it might be wise to seek the assistance of an investment advisor to help restructure your portfolio and identify any underperforming investments to offset. This approach has been successful for me and has reduced my stress levels.

Very interesting. I want to share with you something about space-time and black holes. We can assume that space-time is a very thick and wide sheet like an ocean with zero viscosity, extreamly transparent and non- interactive. Things can exist inside it and move freely. It has certain characteristics like mu not, and epsilon not due to which speed of light is restricted to a certain value. All things existing inside space-time can' t move out of it untill they attain certain escape velocity or energy. Anybody having mass can bend space-time around it and produce a voide (region of nothingness) if it exist lonely somewhere in space-time, as big as can be, depending on the mass of the body. That is why a black hole produce a bigger voide

[@shodan6401]

The reason that I don't buy the Special Relativity argument is because I don't think that you can EVER isolate any observer from the greater context of the universe in which we exist. You can suss out some incremental variances between two observers traveling at different velocities, but both are grounded in the context of the universe as a whole. No man is an island, and no body exists with zero referent to the universe in which it resides.

Now aka "simultaneity" and Observer dependency: An event involving hundreds of thousands of observers -in the course of taking place- can, in theory (as yet), be observed as "now" for any observer even though not one participant was present at the same "time" as any other. Chew on that one for a while.

[@Danchell]

All life is a shared life. We are a small colony on a remote planet. No matter how hard we try to discover the consistency of all, we find we can’t. But what we do find is a magical world that stretches our imagination and gives us joy of endless wonder.

[@wasntanythingmuch]

Put another way, QM usually assumes that the break point between classical mechanics and QM occurs around the Casimr length. However, this length must be close to the interval between events themselves. How to account for this?

[@merfymac]

Where’s part two?

[@thepooaprinciple5144]

"For all we currently know, Dont forget to remember."

[@walteralter1686]

My question would be - to what degree do the laws of psychology, particularly as applied to imagination or the subjective modeling of reality (emphatically minus the laws of physics as exemplified by the dream state) approach congruity with the laws of physics? In other words, do our minds accurately render the physical world? Or, more importantly, to what degree do our minds render the physical world, and if that rendering is not so accurate, what are the factors that inhibit that accuracy? Can we answer the real mysteries of the universe with a tool that is entirely too difficult, or most likely intrinsically impossible, to calibrate? Or more to the point, should we even bother when the answers are going to be wrong rigorously? Basically, what physics attempts is to force subjectivity into being objective by hoping that a rather accurate perceptual uptake can circumvent the filtering and distortion of subjective interpretation. Why should we even need to "interpret"? I have managed to teach myself that the need to interpret mental intake is a symptom of neurosis bordering, in many cases, on psychosis. Until we know how our minds work, how the ding dong hell are we going to figure out how the universe works? My way of saying that AI is not insane.

[@williamnelson4968]

"Understanding" Life via Science is more or less a process of storytelling based on observations and imaginations. And remember according to Werner Heisenberg: Not only is the universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.

[@markrockliff2742]

Physics and the meaning of life PART 1 | Sabine Hossenfelder I enjoyed Sabine Hossenfelder presentation and learned some good stuff but she did not address the meaning of life question. Sabine tap danced around the topic which was good because it was helpful for the construction of context. The question of the meaning of life involves mind and mind involves nine energies and four dimension's. Equalling a sum of thirteen components. Thirteen components can be link via number pattern to the dark energy number via the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field 246 GeV. Via this number pattern model the collapse of the wave function problem can be simply understood as being like a mini black hole if the thirteen dimensions model is understood as having n omni locational potential. The collapse potential location is simply a point of the absolute. were the dark energy number is at a critical density between two or more measurement point parameters within the spectrum field of the measurement. A black hole could simply be a larger model a concentration of dark energy if all matter at the fundamental level below the plank constant is made of Strings and Strings are simply ripples in the the space time fabric of a 4-dimensional membrane with a pressurized volume of Dark energy. You can find my ascientific model in several KZbin comments if you wise to view it. I will need to draft my thirteen point model model to describe the Omni Sheet Brane Vacuum of Space Time. But my difficulty is scaling a visual of a one dimensional cross section of the scaling of one divided by ten 121 times and then to explain it visually in a three dimensions + one for time picture with out drawing a black cube that may look like a black hole in space. If it new the language of pure math perhaps it could be viewed but I have no complex understanding of pure math, knowledge. But it is important because mind relies on nine energies and it cant operate with out 4 dimensions three of space and one of time. And then there is the two spring theory model 10 and 11 dimensions. That is simple if they operate within thirteen dimensions and involve the laws of Three and Severn. 1. 3 + 6 = 9 + 4 = 13 2. 6 + 1 = 7 + 1 = 10 -Ten dimensions plus three directional vector dimensions = 13 3. Nine energies plus four one for up-size, down-size left, right, = 13 4. 10 dimensions plus two directions plus one for The Absolute = 13 Note to self -273.15 - Absolute Zero -274.15 -275.15 -276.15 is like 1. -273.15 - Absolute Zero 2. -274.15 3. -275.15 4. -276.15 The order maybe inter changeable. Its an idea. The link too, is an idea. Special relativity plus the nine energies found in the enneagram model 4+9= 13 The author Russell A. Smith and his Book Gurdjieff: COSMIC SECRETS.

If you count all the DO RE MI FA SO LA TI The count is 121 one short of 122 the one hundred and twenty two count of zeros in the dark energy number. What remains is one zero and a one three eight. If we continue our lateral think process we can think of the 0 1 3 8 as thirteen zeros and now we can view two patterns of zeros a thirteen pattern and and a pattern of 121 zeros. My thinking is. Because we live in a three dimensional world the thirteen maybe linked to a Cartesian plane with an X ,Y, Z three dimensional lattice. This thirteen point model with a zero at the centre and two points each side of the zero in the X plain and Y plane and the Z plane evenly spaced apart could be thought of as like a latus like a quantum mechanical lates. Another possibility is the 1, 3, 8 component of the thirteen zeros that adds to twelve maybe the Higgs field. The vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field 246 GeV and following the lateral thinking process I have worked via, 2 + 4 + 6 = 12 twelve zeros. The thirteenth is the central point of the thirteen point structure and maybe linked to the Absolute the Absolute maybe any zero within the linier vector of the Dark energy number. Note to self, remember in a 4-dimentional space time end A and end B start with .0 and the sum of two parts in one is a potential volume that volume would be a sum of all omni locational potential absolute locations. The third implicate concept may be linked to each and every potential zero location within the volume void each zero could be linked to the concept of Creation and all Creation potential points could be link to the makeup of mass and energy into matter. Dark energy could be host and the Membrane could be Host hosting a living universe or a living universe of universes. Maybe those who read this post will see the big picture of my model with me trying to draw a picture to represent the impression. - Dark energy could be a condense composite of vectors so tightly packed that it is impossible to observe. Each vector could be like a Chameleon it could one of thirteen dimensions all at once. And all thirteen dimensions could host the structures of String Theory and M- Theory and the structure underpinning the 24 fields and 54 building blocks, the Fifty-four elemental parts are said to make up the standard model of particle physics.

[@ianhall3822]

There may be an absolute time, which is the time since the beginning of the Universe, estimated to be about fourteen billion years, and would be the same for all observers. The increase in this duration of the Universe would be the same for all observers. We could also measure time by the increase in entropy of the Universe, which would be the same for all observers.

[@scientistcraft]

Time is dimensions. And more Time is quantum dimension

[@DianelosGeorgoudis]

The measurement problem (or measurement update) is significant, but I think Hossenfelder mischaracterises it at about min 20 of the video. Quantum mechanics does of course describe what a detector (a measuring device) does, after all QM describes what each elementary particle in that detector does. So it's reasonable to assume that it's not the detector that collapses the wave function, but our conscious observation of the detector's output. After all, before *our* observation, QM describes the detector as a superposition of all possible output states. If we were also nothing but a collection of elementary particles, then we would also be described as a superposition of possible observations - but we know that this is not so: we always observe only one measurement. Fortunately, QM does not need to describe our conscious observation if one assumes that consciousness is not a physical process and thus outside the realm of physical description. My point is that Hossenfelder's argument as to why QM might not be a complete theory rests not on physics but on metaphysics, namely on her metaphysical assumption that conscious observation is also a physical process. It has proved unwise to bet against QM being a complete descriptive mechanism. If our consciousness is physical, then QM is probably not complete, so the best bet is that QM is complete and our consciousness is not physical. There is one idea that avoids this dilemma, namely the metaphysics of the so-called many-worlds interpretation of QM, but it is too absurd to be seriously considered.

When they land, their atomic clock has lost an Epsilon of time when compared to the atomic clock on earth. My question is: how can they come back to the present moment? Shouldn’t they come back to an Epsilon of time behind?

Nobody comes "back" to anything in time. We all keep moving forward.

[@johndunn5272]

If we presume to know is to extend this through light. That is something is to something else pronounced as the light between. The fact that continuum exists is to say that for instantaneous change there must be to where that change must go to. So far the only mechanism we have an excuse for this is in "collapse". With the point being made that to head into a direction with instantaneous change is to know unto what that heading of change is for. So far we only know this for a reason of collapse. Unless the big bang does really speak for instantaneous change into creation.

[@BuleriaChk]

The equation of the Time Dilation equation" (ct')^2 =(ct)^2 + (vt')^2 t' = tG, G = 1/sqr(1^2 -b^2), b = v/c does NOT mean the speed of light is a constant, since it is scaled by t' if related to a second "inertial frame" (whatever THAT means). It is roughly the same on any given Sunday in Central Park, NY at 12:00 AM provided there is no serious (and I mean SERIOUS) wind blowing. Note that there is no specification of mass in the Time Dilation equation. (Einstein eliminates the specification x = p(m) = vt from the Lorentz equations by setting x = ct iff x' = ct' as a condition

I'll go with infinity. As counter intuitive as it sounds it is one of the most useful values we use, as well as being a curse to logic lol Think of an irrational number like PI which can be anywhere between 0 and 3.14... to ∞ places. yet we rely so much on it :)

[@davidwilkie9551]

If because science is the business of making testable predictions, (Disproof Methodology), and all predictions will be wrong probabilisticly, the process of science is to continue to be less wrong in Perspective? On topic, attempting Disproof by critique of the predictions and failing graciously, of perceived existence, is how metastability is sustained. Can't hurt to read this book and review-reiterate the discussion.

[@hyperduality2838]

Making predictions to track targets and goals is a syntropic process -- teleological. Syntropy is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics! Absolute time (Galileo, Newton) is dual to relative time (Einstein) -- time duality! Time is a dual concept. The future is dual to the past -- time duality. Energy is dual to mass -- Einstein. Dark energy is dual to dark matter. Positive curvature (synchronic lines) is dual to negative curvature (enchronic lines) -- Gauss, Riemann geometry. Curvature or gravitation is dual. Points are dual to lines -- the principle of duality in geometry. Sine is dual to cosine -- the word "co" means mutual and implies duality. Sinh is dual to cosh -- hyperbolic functions. Time dilation is dual to length contraction -- Einstein, special relativity. Space is dual time -- Einstein. "Always two there are" -- Yoda.

[@DarkSkay]

"Everything obeys the laws of nature. Everything lives in space and time." Taken at face value these statements are very controversial. There are scientists who believe in the existence of randomness (i.e. entities not governed by rules, legislators or laws). Many believe that logic and mathematics "live" or have a form of existence independent of space, time and wheter humans have found access to this mathematical reality/truth (thereby making it "alive" within our minds). More remote, the assumption that there must exist 'divine entities', parameters and mechanisms given to the universe or its superstructure(s), so that it can start working, advancing and evoloving (a bit like maths need axioms). More remote still, worlds that evolve in circumstances that wouldn't fit the word-intuitions expressed as "space" and "time". Sure "everything" often paradoxically-only and only means "everything we currently see" - but it suffices to go back just a blink of an eye on an astronomical time scale, in the ancient view of the world, the "everything" was tiny compared e.g. to the solar system - "everything" always turned out to be much much much larger than "everything"! After surprises always came more surprises - how large and deep the world now suddenly "is", after taking into account the new, current chapter of scientific knowledge. The "theory of everything" is for theologians. Furthermore the two statements at the beginning also draw a paradox or 'stack of turtles': assuming everything lives in space and time, the laws of nature that govern space and time would also live in space and time, therefore govern & obey themselves.

[@pauljmn9135]

Is is a tautology to say: nothing travels faster than light (energy); if everything is made of energy?

[@OneLine122]

No, two marble statues are made of marble, it does not mean one cannot go faster than the other. i.e you can't assume all energy moves the same. "Everything is made of energy" is misleading. It can be destroyed and turned into energy, but it is a different type of energy than the one that gives movement. It's potential, not actual. So a "thing" that moves, does not use that potential energy, otherwise it would not be and could not travel as that thing either. It will have actual energy in the form of momentum, which will be never faster than the speed of light, which is pure momentum.

We don't know. It could be that we are missing something on the theoretical side or we are missing real physics. If we are missing real physics, then it means that we need a bigger accelerator... which Sabine in her infinite wisdom will deny. ;-)

A virtual particle falls in and make the black hole bigger. A virtual particle falls out and make Hawking radiation. That unzipping of nothingness is why some say the earth is expanding and space time is falling. At a quantum level virtual particles can recombine not to there pair but to an other neighbor one. That motion is like when atoms under stress have an "edg dislocation". They rip against each other. Like an infinite row of people get up to make room to one more person on the infinite row of chair. That scooting over or riping is a gravitational wave. If it was a metal, it would be now bent, like space time bends. Please see in your mind. Words are just to guide. So yeah. That motion can form a ring and at higher dimension a tunnel, wich appears to us as a sphere. So it is a sphere a tunnel and a universe depending on where you stand. From the inside, the space is being pulled away from you. Or you could think that you are falling on your self. That explains why there is zero gravity in space. All the mass of the black hole/big bang is around you.

Even if a simple "one inch long equation" explained a theory of everything it will have ultimately solved nothing since even it could not be mathematically or observationally questioned the question would still arise what reality did it describe to which it would never have an unanswerable or ultimate answer.

[@OneLine122]

I am not sure how someone can say physics can tell us the meaning of life and come up "we don't know" and may never know. Sounds like it can't tell anything, nor should it. I like the theory that says it's about reaching a higher entropy. So while life itself is low entropy, it creates a lot more high entropy than without it overall. Plants use energy to put minerals in a low entropy state, and animals eat the plant to make it high entropy again. It disperses the Sun's energy more effectively than some other ways like weathering, wind, radiation and so on. Other systems like evaporation and rain do something similar. So we are cooling the Earth, in a way. Still, we use it to transform things into more complex things that can be destroyed easily, so it works out. It's more of a chemistry reason I suppose. The more heat we produce the more the Earth cools and become high entropy, that's the basic idea. Humans are the best at it quite clearly.

The past is gone. Outline: Time Light *and Distance* Problem Explained I. Introduction The assumption people have is that light years in outer space equals the same measure of distance and passage of time on earth. This is the reason they think that an age can be assigned to the universe. This is curious knowing that there is no single measure of distance or rate of the passing of time in the universe. General relativity explains that the local rate of time and the measure of distance depend on the amount of matter or mass in the vicinity. Elsewhere in the universe the rate of time and measure of distance depend on the absence of matter in the vicinity. Assuming the math is correct and there is a singularity in a black hole, time is stopped and there is no distance. In contrast, the lagrange point between supermassive black holes is a place where there is the least amount of gravity in the universe and where *both* the rate of time passes by the fastest *and* the measure of distance is the most expanded. What the measurements are is unknown since no one is there to make a comparison. II. Differing Measures of Time and Distance due to GR The area of space in our line of sight between us and distant galaxies is mostly running at a much faster rate of time. Not only is time passing by faster between galaxies, the measures of distance are much larger effectively reducing the distance between galaxies. Observed phenomena in outer space such as redshift, superluminal motion measured to be seven times the speed of light, and apparent faster motion of outer spiral arms of galaxies are due to the faster rates of time and the expanded measures of distance the farther out from the center of the galaxy it is. Incidentally the asteroid that was knocked off course moved faster than expected. The expansion of the universe is not required to explain the observed redshift of light from distant galaxies because the expanded distance and faster rates of time explain both the redshift and the faster than expected motion of objects the farther away from the center of the galaxy that it is. It's not the same as our flat observations of cats and dogs locally here on earth where we don't observe differing measures of distance and time. III. Local Rate of Time and Measure of Distance due to GR Locally, the measure of distance and rate of time doesn't change much where we are inside of our galaxy. However, the area in our line of sight between us and distant galaxies is extreme and running at a much faster rate of time as well as an expanded measure of distance outside our galaxy compared to where we are near Sagittarius A, Milky Way's black hole (where our rate of time is much slower and our measure of distance is much more contracted). The same way the earth appears flat locally, our universe also *appears* to be relatively flat locally. However, over great distances throughout the universe there are vastly differing measures of distance and differing rates of time from black holes to the lagrange points between black holes where there is very little acceleration compared to our relatively flat contracted local frames of reference near Sagittarius A. The clocks are running faster outside of galaxies and the measuring sticks are larger meaning things are actually less distant than they appear to us to be from our position and our measurements near the center of the galaxy. *We can't project our measurements onto the rest of the universe.* Gravity drops off exponentially the *farther* it is from the singularity center of the galaxy. The more gravity drops off outside of the galaxy and in between galaxies, the more distance will be expanded and the faster the rate of time will be. It's also the reason distant galaxies *appear* to be ten times more massive than than closer ones. IV. Vacuum Energy of Space It turns out that the vacuum energy of space is due to the frame dragging of black holes that are growing in size from gobbling up spacetime regardless of the amount of matter being consumed. Recent findings of a team of scientists have found that dark energy or vacuum energy is associated with supermassive black holes that are all growing in size regardless of the amount of matter being consumed, as opposed to being associated with an ever expanding universe into oblivion for no reason. Supermassive black holes are the most powerful forces in the universe with far reaching effects of gravity and vacuum energy. The problem and solution is that between galaxies, all of the galaxies all around are all together pulling and drawing in spacetime, as well as exerting equal gravitational forces from all around on empty space. This is the reason there is very little acceleration between galaxies and where there is expanded distance and a faster rate of time. V. Conclusion The expanded space or distance between galaxies due to the absence of matter explains the observed redshift without the need for a nonsensical universe expanding into oblivion for no reason. It also means the distances between galaxies are not as far as they appear to us to be. This means that 13.8 billion years is the same as 6,000 years and vice versa *in the same universe and in the same amount of time.* A day is also like a thousand years and vice versa in the same created universe. The reason why people stumble over the "time light problem" in outer space is due to not taking general relativity into account.

Hi there. Could the Universe came about similarly as carbonated water, in which the bubble is the Universe and the water is the dark matter. The Big Bang is when the moment of bubble formation; as the bubble rises due to density gradient, the Universe expands. 😌

[@BuleriaChk]

Einstein ignores the Newton's Third law - m0 =f^2 = (ct)^2 where f^2 is the result of equal and opposite forces in an otherwise empty region of space. c is a force creation rate and t is a force creation time, and the product squared m0 is an invariant when the forces interact "head on" (defining mass at its own origin (0,0) with no "relative motion". For two masses ct' = ct + vt' (ct')^2 = (ct)^2 + (vt')^2 + 2(ct)(vt') For Einstein, the "time dilation" equation is obtained by solving the equation: (ct')'^2 = (ct)^2 + (vt')^2 for t', but this equation cannot be derived from ct' = ct + vt' (as above); one has to use their imagination.... There is much more to this story (especially re GTR, calculus and QFT), but I don' t have the spacetime to write it here.

The reason QM is irreversible is because the interaction term (2ab) is subject to the (1/r)^2 = [1/(ct)'^2, t = 1 law. i.e. h^2 = (1/r)^2(2EB) Ask me why... :)

[@goldwhitedragon]

How?

[@BuleriaChk]

@@goldwhitedragon Re-define the "Lorentz force" to f = mA = eE + uB then m0 = f^2 = [(eE)^2 + (uB )^2] + 2(eu)EB f^2 is equal and opposite force defining rest mass. [(eE)^2 + (uB )^2] is "existence term" 2(eu)EB is "interaction term" Interaction term is (eu)EB = 1/(ct)^2 = 1/r^2, t=1 2(eu)EB = h^2 = 2S^2, S:= h/'sqr(2) (eu)(EB)=S^2 (This is difficult do do in ASCII, so there may be a typo) There is much more to this story, but I don't have the spacetime to write it here.

[@goldwhitedragon]

@@BuleriaChk the inclusion of "f^2" as an equal and opposite force defining rest mass seems invalid. Rest mass (m0), is defined in the theory of special relativity

[@BuleriaChk]

@@goldwhitedragon rest mass = (ct)^2 1. (ct') = (ct) + (vt') Solve 2. (ct')^2 = (ct)^2 + (vt')^2 for t' for "time dilation" equation. Now derive 2 from 1. Good Luck!

In a Steady State Universe, mass generates energy mass without fusion. For Black Holes, we are forced to the position that most of the energy Black Holes create is lost again by space within the Black Hole, by the space between the surface of the Black Hole and its Event Horizon. Can't beat Steady State for lack of confabulation and contrivance. If you pack the Universe into a proton in our frame of reference, you can't avoid a singularity. I you pack the Universe into a proton in a static frame of reference, well it happens all the time, without a singularity, but that will not account for receding galactic red shift.
