I dropped out of high school to work because to be honest public school is just a baby sitting service and was actually pretty dangerous back then too (late 1970s) due to racial tensions. I am THE worst at math. Got straight D's the last tie I took math which was algebra in 8th grade. ANYWAY, my dad was smart as a whip. He was a pilot for United and wanted to be an astronaut but didn't want to have to raise a family in Texas or Florida. (Thank you Dad!) But he LOVED physics and was very taken with string theory. He taught me to never stop learning and I thank him for my love of learning. Man, he would have LOVED these shows! I sure wish I could watch them with him.

The understanding and attraction for science will greatly increase if people are encouraged to use their mobile phones to do experiments and see results with their own eyes. They carry around a very sophisticated and relatively cheap device with multiple sensors which was not possible before. I just used the barometer in my mobile phone to observe that when a train start moving forward from rest, the air moves backwards causing a dip in pressure. When it comes to rest, the air moves forward causing a rise in pressure. These are all expected but was very difficult to verify before. I have done plenty of other things with my mobile phone and some apps that I could not do before. My students used smart phones to measure their own power needed to climb up stairs.

From the smallest known particles to the vastness of the universe, the journey of understanding reality spans an incredible range of scales. The study of quarks the fundamental building blocks of matter presents some of the most profound riddles in physics. Quarks, along with gluons, form protons and neutrons, which in turn make up atomic nuclei. Yet, despite extensive research, the true nature of quarks, including why they have mass and how they interact through the strong force, remains a topic of active inquiry. As we move up in scale, these elementary particles combine to form atoms, molecules, and the matter that makes up stars, galaxies, and the cosmos itself. The transition from the quantum world of subatomic particles to the grand structure of the universe involves bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity a challenge that has yet to be fully addressed. Quantum mechanics governs the microscopic realm, explaining phenomena at the level of atoms and particles, while general relativity describes the macroscopic universe, from gravitational waves to black holes and cosmology. The riddles of reality extend beyond understanding particles and forces to encompass the nature of space and time. Concepts like dark matter, dark energy, and the multiverse push the boundaries of what we know, prompting questions about the very fabric of existence and the fate of the universe. Are our current models enough to explain the origins and structure of the cosmos, or do we need a new theory that unites the quantum and cosmic scales? Exploring the riddles of reality from quarks to the cosmos not only helps us understand the universe’s components but also challenges us to look beyond our current theories and imagine new ones. It’s a pursuit that speaks to the human drive for knowledge and the quest to answer the ultimate questions about who we are and where we come from.

The theory of everything according to humans that believe their intellect evolved from a monkey's brain. If the light waves from the sun were 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of Einstein's space-time then people on Earth are just imagining the infrared warmth of the sun coming up on the horizon. The communications delay between Earth and Mars is approximately 20 minutes. We're either viewing the light from Mars in the future, Einstein's past dimensions of space-time or in real time, which do you think is more logical? Einstein's relativity is wrong light has no limitation of speed; it cannot be slowed down because it isn't moving. From every vantage point in the universe light is omnidirectional-instantaneously traveling in both directions. Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. According to Einstein's relativity-time dilation's, photos taken of the Earth from the Discovery Space station traveled from the past to the future violating the laws of physics, conservation of energy and common sense. According to Einstein's projectile light particle proton light has a (constant speed) of 186,000 miles per second moving through spacetime, but if light has a (constant speed) then moving clocks cannot run slow through spacetime! :-) The speed of light according to Einstein's relativity is 186,000 miles per second, but according to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring. Big Bang, Einstein's relativity-time dilation and nearly all of science debunked. Using optical clocks, lasers and GPS to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing. If the speed of light is constant then past and future dimensions of spacetime and an expanding universe would not be possible, obviously destroying the twins paradox as each twin cannot move faster or slower than the other. Einstein would have made a great used car salesman :-) Light waves can stretch, bend-curve and occupy a state of superposition, whereas the hypothetical Einstein projectile light particle (photon), a particle that has never been observed cannot. Unlike a TV or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of frames that create the appearance of a moving image. There are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just video recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. Neither time, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. Time and space are independent of each other, not material bodies or fantasy unions that magically stretch Time, energy, and matter like a rubber band into space-time dimensions. Monkey see monkey do, the science of monkeys have brainwashed you. Will the James Webb Telescope view the birth of the first galaxies? Nope, the universe goes on to infinity. Neither time, the atom, energy nor mass can create itself into nothing, reside in nothing or expand into nothing simply because nothing has no properties. The James Webb Space Telescope is not a time machine, you can’t travel back in time to view the beginning of the universe with telescopes that were made in the future :-). Light and electromagnetic waves are independent of each other. If science uses Einstein's wrongly theorized speed of light like an odometer to calculate past dimensions of distance and time, then using that same method to calculate forward dimensions of distance and time would mean the Big Bang was created and expanded in the future before time existed. Unlike a television or computer monitor the images we are viewing in the universe are in real time, not a series of still image frames that hypothetical Einstein projectile light particles photons create to give us the appearance of a moving image :-). The speed of electromagnetic wave is 186,282 miles per second vs Einstein's projectile light particle proton at 186,000 miles per second. Is this a coincidence or did Einstein plagiarize yet another phenomenon to fit the math of relativity? Electromagnetic waves in space can neither slow down or speed up, this is consistent with the law of conservation of energy. If light slowed down, its energy would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy so the speed of light is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. If Einstein's projectile light (particle photon) had mass it's light could not travel across the universe, high speed particles traveling at 186,000 miles per second would break the Hubble and James Webb telescope mirrors, debunking the speed of light, Big Bang, Einstein's relativity and any science that uses relativity in their theories. Everyone knows cell phone electromagnetic radio waves travel both ways, yet Einstein's disciples believe time energy, mass and light can only travel one way back in time. If you simply run the Big Bang theory in reverse you reveal the insanity of Einstein's relativity and Big Bang theory. If the expansion of the Big Bang were true, time, energy, mass and light would be in the future from the vantage point of an expanding singularity-Big Bang and planet Earth would now reside in a past dimension of Einstein's time dilation (moving clocks run slow) space-time 13.8 billion years ago :-). It's truly amazing how the science and politics of the left are able to keep people denying reality, there are no DCU digital convergence circuits in space, yet Einstein's disciples believe the light and moving images they see in the universe aren't really there, they're just recorded images of the past 13.8 billion years. Pretending not to notice the gross contradictions-pseudoscience in Relativity is typical of Einstein's disciples, devaluing the source of any information that's in contradiction with their beliefs-theories. You could lead a cult to water, but you can't make them think. If the light from the universe travels to past dimensions of time then it's light is also traveling into future dimensions of time (instantaneously). “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” a state of superposition where time and gravity run inwardly, outwardly, in all directions in the same time frame, similar to the electromagnetic field having no beginning and no end. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" Revelation 22:13. Disciples, remember thy 1st commandment, thou shalt not question thy lawgiver of relativity for blasphemers are the devil's pawn. Let thee not dwell in dissension of our Lord Albert, shun them, drive them back to their jungle lair amen.

Thanks so much, as always, for this. My fascination with the topic exceeeds my comprehension of it, but I have lived, understand, and could not agree more with the idea that bringing together people from different disciplines to examine and even merely discuss new amazing discoveries is the way to rapidly increase and spread useful fundamental knowledge. THE VALUE OF INSIGHTS FROM MULTIPLE VANTAGE POINTS CANNOT BE OVERSTATED!! A 'Eureka!' moment can come from any direction - how often have we heard of a breakthrough in understanding coming from a (seemingly) counterintuitive or completely unrelated direction? A chance word or an expression from an unexpected source may provide a key, the first or the final piece of a model that catapults the understanding of a researcher; may be all that is needed to open a floodgate of understanding, leading to further and greater discoveries! We see this in the increased benefits of having higher diversity in our governing bodies, in our areas and modes of production of 'things', in our diets, and in our ecosystems. SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS YOUR RESEARCH WITH PEOPLE FROM OTHER FIELDS, AND LET THEM ASK QUESTIONS! ASK THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY SEE WHEN THEY LOOK AT YOUR 'STUFF' AND RECIPROCATE THESE ACTIONS! I speak as someone who used to be 'great at English but terrible at math' until a junior-college course tied these disciplines together as semantic ways of organizing and communicating information by (short version:) having us write essays about mathematics.

Does the following quantum model agree with the Spinor Theory of Roger Penrose? Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: "A theory that you can't explain to a bartender is probably no damn good." Ernest Rutherford 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 1/137 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface A Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting 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?

I do not derive the same level of fascination and relatabilty for sub atomic particles, or the standard model, or quantum field etc. However, by way of qualification I will say I have not studied the sub atomic world, quantum mechanics, etc in great detail.

[@wizzdem-tjmclaughlin8165]

To have a force in place whereby it gains strength as its distance increases and to have that force in place just where it’s needed is quite remarkable. How could that have happened in a merely ad hoc improvised manner from a chaotic sea of energy? Also, to imagine that the parceling out of quarks and gluons to the exact specifications that can be found in each and every nucleon somehow occurred by chance from an amorphous plasma is to stretch the imagination to infinite proportions. Not to mention the QCD dance where the more it changes the more it stays the same. How could all the intricate arrangements of quarks and gluons have formed exactly the same in a gazillion quarks simultaneously? And how did the quark gluon arrangement create its proton capsule? All this reminds me of Jacques Monod’s book, Chance and Necessity where he describes organic phenomena to be a product of necessary chemical reactions along with the role chance plays in fostering their development. Life creating chemicals might be ubiquitous throughout the universe but to have a planet where they can take root is a matter of chance. One’s genetic code is a matter of necessity but it is initially determined by chance. Also, organic chemicals contain all the information necessary for the development and ongoing evolution of life forms. So, I’m thinking there must have been some similar type of chance and necessity going on in the formation of the early universe. There must have been something orchestrating the quark gluon arrangement. Some overarching conductor that switched on the pervasive mechanism that necessitated a universal encapsulation of the necessary quark gluon relationship made possible by the composition of ingredients provided by chance in the formulation of the energy released from the “Big Bang”. Perhaps some kind of entanglement procedure.

This viewer's melon is spherical and tends to visualise in 3D volumes, and views proton volumes as being on the cusp of black-hole-ness where time stands still at their resonating boundary shell, being so confined and energy dense and therefore massive in such a small volume, except at the Hamiltonian centroid where the mass-energy and spacetime curvature and entropy 3D vectors drop to zero, collapses. Protons and their three quarks resonate, and as the spacetime confined or encapsulated quarks meet their match, or boundary shell, or energy-density infinity, at their constant speed of light photon sphere, or curved spacetime shell, or at least the three vector particles "remember" or are forced to follow this boundary, they can't violate this and become tachyons. So, the uncertainly-positioned three quarks are relegated to the proton volume, and though more dense than neutrons, don't wink out as black holes, but persist and perpetuate themselves into the future. So they act kind of like another great Wilczek idea, resonating time crystals, as protons are older than the CMB by about 380000 years? The charge similar but ~2000 times less massive electrons can be dealt with later, but that 2000 times more voluminous proton volume can tuck away alot of not-always seen (or unseen) antimatter and other dark matter and energy, as a guess? Though quarks were identified by electron beams a few decades ago, what observer can see all the commotion going on in that resonating little proton volume?! The quark asymptotic math equations do sound sound, excuse the tautologic pun, and the math looks elegant if us less mathematically talented can't always follow or understand it. Likely due to, or that being, our lay person or lazier person limitations perhaps, due to the energy and work required to fully learn, understand and grasp all the math, kudos! In any case, some observations and ideas coming out of left field here! What an excellent KZbin video, stellar!

I feel like BG is a personal friend. I love the physics world but know no one in real life who has any real understanding or interest.

TIME is fascinating. I worked the subway stations for nearly 10 years. From one end of the city to the other. Every so often I would notice the city would be saying that, "Today just flew by" or "The day was just dragging along." How can an entire city complain about the same TIME paradox unless it was effected by it. Maybe a TIME distorted bubble the earth passes through in its revolution around the sun. Maybe random waves of TIME distortion hitting the earth? Maybe they're randomly given off by the sun. Maybe they're from outside our Terran system and reach us in intervals. ???? There is SO MUCH MORE to TIME than we realize. TI-I-I-IME, is on my side. Yes, it is!

[@SoulSolace12]

I just had another random thought about dark matter earlier this week. Assuming there could be other universes out there, I wonder if there could be a universe where dark matter is just...switched on. Like some universal constant (a constant invisible to us in our universe) with a different value that just renders "dark matter" as visible. Astronomers and physicists would see much denser galaxies and clusters and would have no need to ask the question "what is dark matter?"

[@seancharles1595]

But then they would see 'light matter' ?

[@zyp85]

I think you're just asking the question could there be a universe where dark matter does interact with electromagnetism (light), that way the beings in that universe would be able to literally "see" dark matter. Well I suppose it certainly could be a possibility. But then "dark matter" would be just another form of normal matter in that universe. Dark matter is actually kind of misnomer, gravitational anomaly would be a better term. The "matter“ part of "dark matter" is only inferred because our current understanding of gravity (which is very limited) tells us that only mass produces gravity. In reality we aren't really sure if dark matter is caused by undetected mass, it could simply be that our understanding of gravity is flawed. I hope I didn't confuse you: )

[@chrisquinn394]

How do galaxies and matter collide in space if all matter came from one single point and is expanding from that point from a big bang? Matter from an explosion should separate from each other more as time goes on especially if the force is still accelerating so I've wondered how it's possible for galaxies to collide like some have talked about.

[@tonib5899]

Matter is always being created in new stars and new supernovas,everywhere almost. I mean there are some voids where nothing may happen but it’s likely you are in the area where It does occur.

[@chrisquinn394]

@@tonib5899 This common knowledge of super nova's doesn't explain my question. The matter created or transformed from a dying star still came from one single point as all matter did. We know this because of expansion. All of this material is expanding away from one single point even with super nova's.

[@tonib5899]

@@chrisquinn394 you will also get quantum fluctuations,also black holes don’t just destroy but also create accretion disks where some high energy gets out and matter gets thrown out.matter and energy are transferable as well. There isn’t one way but a few ways so it’s no surprise there is lots of matter and energy,yes entropy always increases but new matter and energy are still being created on. A cosmic scale.

[@Sh4d0wGn0m3]

thank you for uploading. what a wonderful talk.

[@adram3lech]

Thanks Mr Greene. My thought on this has evolved in years to this: Why is spoken language so good at describing the reality? So is mathematics. I feel like you agree! Just like we can discover further into language, into what it seems to be an infinite inwards expansion, i believe so is our intuition and languages we use in describing and understanding everything around us. It is only natural that they converge! However, many would choose different sides on the reason: is it because they describe a single reality, or is it because these languages all come from our minds! I hope you read this because i have a question i never even came close to having an answer for. We always assume a sort of causality from the most fundamental unit of existence to the larger. Is it conceivable to come up with physics that enforce causality from top to bottom? Has anyone ever proposed such an understanding? Out of anyone I can ever get in touch to, only you would know the answer to this :) Thanks for the great presentation as always.

[@anoorr7039]

If we know the physics of the smallest we can know the physics of the largest vice versa. Simply summate and divide. No big math there. But the physics was wrong since we did not consider space time as the smallest. Wow fascinating blunders.

in a pure-deterministic universe, it is impossible for creator God(s) to exist, but seemingly inevitable for emergent God*s* to.. emerge! Thats some hot stuff, like an inescapable deterministic optimism. Rather contradictory to the classical view where a free will..free universe, bound by mechanical laws leads to pure nihilism. edit: ALSO, the production quality on these longform videos is epic

[@tonymarshharveytron1970]

Furtherto my connent yesterday, I should have included a couple of questions that go to the very heart of the standard model, which looked at logically, exposes an number of inconsistencies. 1. If the electron is a solid particle wizzing around the empty space within the boundary of the atom, forming a cloud, occupying every space at the same time at great speed, as is the present day accepted view, it would need energy to provide momentum, and expend energy in maintaining that momentum and to change trajectory. Where does that energy come from? and why is heat not radiated from every atom? 2. Considering that the size of the electron is roughly 2,000 times smaller than that of the proton, how can it have the same charge carrying capacity as the proton? If this were the case, the charge holding capacity per unit of mass would be massive, like having a tiny watch battery with the same reseve charge capacity as a large tractor battery? It is my belief that the electron is infact not a solid fundamental particle, but a cluster of the much smaller negatively charged ' Harvetron ' particles that I outlined in my comments yesterday. Further, these particles are the finite smallest particles in the univers, monopole magnets and fill every available empty space within the atom, and in the whole of the universe, ( ' Dark Matter ' ). I believe that there are only two fundemental particles that make up everything in the universe, being the particles I have just described and a corresponding positively charged monopole particle. All other particles that are described in the standard model, are a combination of these.

[@frederikkargaard1919]

"Science" is our best explanation (under the current circumstances) we have, to understand our "observations" - those are two extremly different things... We observe from an individual (spherical) perspective, with no "edges" ("speed of light" is equal in all "directions")... Through the "Platonic Solids" we reduce that spheric experience into a few digital points... The least information we need to define a "sphere" is a tetrahedron (4 points), with the sidelength of "Planck"... From there "reality" stretches as a reflection on the boundary of our own "vision" - extending in either "length" (analog vision) and/or number of digital referencepoints on the surface, defined by the geometricly possible combinations - relative to our existing understanding (individual as well as collective)... We'll never be able to equal "spheric" with "edgy" - but through zooming (Mandelbrot) in harmonic resonance, we create the illusion of sharing the same "sphere"... So digital "science" is a sub-set of analog "observations" - and unique perspectives are a sub-set of a supposedly analog "reality"... When "photons in discrete packages" are coherent in "rotation", they manifest as quarks into a particle, rotating relative to any observer... So "photons" need to rotate relative to an observer, to manifest - what an interesting thought... :-) Let's not get too exited, though - because that's just 1 perspective, but it exposes the extreme end of the scale of possible interpretations - leaving it's opposite open for existance as well... Oscillating between "observations" (past) and "interpretations" (future) are what makes the World go round... Equalizing them, stops "time" - and gives a "flat" experience ("c squared") "here and now"... As individuals, we oscillate "down" into unknown observations - and "up" as enlightend souls - relative to the center of Earth... As a collective our timeline is defined by the rotation around the common point of reference for that "enlightend soul" - called "the Sun"... Our next 2 levels of understanding, we call "the Milkyway" and "Laniakea" - each rotating around their own singularity of "counter-space", where all forces involved are aligned into the equillibrium of "no action needed" (like at the center of a magnet)... And all the "dimensions" align, like pearls on a string - keeping "time" on the "move" everywhere... Relative to the observer... :-)

[@frederikkargaard1919]

Our digital definitions, emerged as soon, as "life" became aware of a "direction" in "time"... The experience of "away" from "status quo"... That experience must have begun with either an imagination of a different "status quo" - or a sensed experience of "change"... A "probability" or a "proof"... Either way, "probabilities" are a feature of the "future" ( a "prediction") - and "proof" is an emergent property of "here and now" (an "observation"), materialized in the "past" (a "definition")... And they each define a different perspective, which is an imprint of eachother - NOT "identical twins"... The unification between Quantum Physics and Theory of Relativity lies in the "boundary" (defined by Mandelbrots fractal-set), which is the experience of "here and now" - where "smooth" turns into "edgy" - where "hope" turns into "friction" in dissappointment - or "ore" in expansion of universal possibilities... Our vector in "perspective" defines which definition to use where... "Free will" takes take of the rest - ensuring every possible opportunity will be exploited, eventually - but NOT "simultaniously"... "Time" and "space" exists perpendicular to eachother, to create the opportunity to experience a 2D-perspective ("c squared") with the sidelength of "speed of light" in a "second"... And when we are able to fit those "seconds" into 86.400 per "day", we're able to interact... "Harmonic resonance" is the name of the game (or "Moire-effect" when it comes to "physics")... :-)

[@frederikkargaard1919]

In psychology "predictive coding" defines our expectations to "what's next"... Our senses only send the data to the brain, which differs from our expectations... A tennisball can travel faster, than our brain can process the data - more than 5 meters - making it impossible to hit, if we don't "sense" our own expectations adjusted for incoming data, instead of "reality"... Since none of us experience every single little detail in an "observation", our perception of "here and now", will for a large part be remembered as "proven reality" - but is mostly what we expected to happen ourselves, at that point in "time"... No wonder, we argue so much about, what's "real"... ;-)
