Secrets of the Universe: Neil Turok Public Lecture

How did the universe begin? How did it evolve to what we see now?
In his Perimeter Public Lecture webcast on October 25, 2023, Perimeter Director Emeritus Neil Turok shared his insights into the basic laws of the universe and their surprising simplicity - including his latest work on an alternative to the cosmological inflation model.
Turok is an internationally renowned cosmologist who has collaborated with luminaries such as the late Stephen Hawking. He is the Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh, and holds the Carlo Fidani Roger Penrose Distinguished Visiting Research Chair at Perimeter.

I spend too much emotional capital listening to the problems of our political landscape. I come to these videos of lectures given by rational, intelligent, intellectually curious people to remind myself that they, and I hope I can say we, still exist. I hope there are enough of us engaged enough to turn the tide of the irrational mobs that will, if they can manage to do so, overrun virtually every intellectual pursuit left to humanity.

Besides his obvious profound intelligence and curiosity I find Prof Turok to be equally humble and human. So many of the world’s other notable theorists are just so inaccessible and seem insulted when their theories are challenged.

[@philiprice6961]

Whether or not Turok is on to something this was a masterclass in presentation and exposition. The students at Edinburgh are so lucky!

[@deepdusto]

I felt the same, it is immaculate, an example of how to present information. A question though, new to this: for e.g. 11:18s the Cosmic wave background spectrum, Boltzmann curve x-axis is depicted with frequency, whereas the normal (and yet identical curve I find) show x-axis in wavelength. How could the 2 curves be identical when wavelength is the inverse (opposite) of frequency?

In the formula F=ma, a has a time variable which means F = 0 when time = 0 and Force can not be calculated unless you provide time duration. The parameter a Acceleration is due to the Gravity and Gravity has a set vector / direction, 0 to 180 degree, in other words there is NO Acceleration if there is NO Gravity, and in Gravity direction and Time needed. Force is 0 (zero) unless you give a non zero time.This is what scientists have been hiding and the space time scam is to explain a flawed formula using the gang leader einstein. E=mc2 is also False since you can change the constant 2 to 3 or any other number, it has no effect because E has no Unit. Also all the formulas mentioned as the successor to E=mc2, has the Time variable with the value 0 (zero) which makes all the calculated Forces, Energies and Vectors Zero. Additionally einstein never wrote and published any of these formulas and no other scientist wanted to claim Fallacy.

4:53 talk starts here Edit: Could have needed bookmarks to jump to the new stuff (edit: note to self: jump to 41:26 ; the real bomb gets dropped 57:56). Pretty slow start; even a bit tedious to watch the beginning. 19:30 our model of the universe: Lambda CDM 22:02 promises minimal theory: starts talking about critical behavior and phase transitions; (foreshadowing) 28:09 promises easy solution to the Big Bang; (more foreshadowing) 34:00 smallest and biggest lengths you could even theoretically ever see: introducing Planck Length and Lambda Horizon; (at Planck Length a photon of that wavelength would form a Black Hole, so light can not escape; at Lambda Horizon distance, space expands faster than c, so that this light can never reach us) 38:13 “These are all the laws we know.” - reiterating that maybe there are no more “new particles” (- even more foreshadowing) 39:27 The Standard Model (insert usual picture) 40:31 Three Generations of Particles, but why? (- more foreshadowing) About time we came to the good stuff (- the things I hadn’t heard before) 41:26 right handed Neutrinos (Seesaw mechanism) as good candidate for Dark Matter 43:18 predicting the cosmic abundance of right handed neutrinos via CPT-symmetry; the Big Bang as a mirror 46:29 so: what if right handed Neutrinos are Dark Matter? A stable and heavy right handed Neutrino would imply the lightest normal, left handed Neutrino to be massless! There are measurements underway to constrain the mass of the Neutrino. 48:32 nice side effect: Penrose gets his “conformal Big Bang” 51:47 claim / argument for why the cosmos is as it is: entropic reasoning 57:56 “NO ADDITIONAL SMOOTHING OR FLATTENING MECHANISM IS REQUIRED.” Turok pulling a UNO Reverse on the Inflationists. A true Laplace-vs-Napoleon-move: ”I had no need for this hypothesis, Sire.” 😂 Mic-Drop-Moment 59:01 the problem of mm-scale-gravitational-wave-detectors 1:00:38 The origin of the three generations and structure formation: introducing 36 zero-dimensional-fields to get rid of infinite vacuum energy On second viewing: this seems a little light on the details… P.S.: You plug in a measurement from Particle Physics / The LHC into your formula and receive a value that equals a measurement from Cosmology / The Planck CMB satellite to almost two decimal points. - How does that tell me anything about how you chose your formula? Maybe you chose it in a way that it fits? You introduced 36 new constants of nature for this?? How is that progress? How is this the end of the talk?? This should be the beginning of a talk! Does this count as an explanation? - You could have produced a rabbit from a hat like that, for all I know! Are you sure you didn’t just put in the rabbit in the first place? Forget all the hand movements and the name dropping: what exactly did you do? I just have to admit that I did not understand a thing.

[@Cat_Woods]

I get that it seems simple to Neil, but honestly, even the stuff I thought I understood ok, when he explains it, I realize, wow, I REALLY don't understand this. No shade. I just think he understands these things at a level I'm nowhere near. (...going to replay it a bunch more times to see if I can get it a bit more)

[@kevindarter822]

The Higgs boson can decay into various combinations of particles, depending on its mass and the probabilities of each decay mode. Some of the most common decay modes are: Two photons (H → γγ) Two W bosons (H → WW) Two Z bosons (H → ZZ) Two bottom quarks (H → bb)

I have always thought about, as above so below and the fact that the universe is mirrored in atomic level of matter. What has always resonated with me and my research is the fact that we were taught that the universe is teetering on a knife edge and if one little factor had been out of harmony, the universe could collapse. Extrapolating on this, I have always reconciled the model of the universe as more of a result of SUBLIMATION i.e. Going from a solid directly to a gas state or sometime soon, a gas to a solid. The universe then would be more of a cyclical nature of phase change in my opinion. What do you think?

charges are result of exchanging photons. if no photon can leave a BH how can a black hole have charge? if charge is information and no information leaves the BH then how a BH can have a charge?

[@alexishemeon]

Black holes can have an electric charge from capturing charged particles over time. Charged black holes are known as Kerr-Newman black holes and are described by the Kerr-Newman metric. The electric field produced by a charged black hole still exists within the event horizon. Information about the black hole's charge is not lost but is trapped inside. The charge is a global property of the black hole. It doesn't rely on exchanging individual photons or information escaping the event horizon.

The lecture is very interesting. I enjoyed listening to it. I do not understand a lot of it and I don't think I ever will. I there fore attempt to think more about what I have learned from my own education in connection with my life long experiences in the electronic field. With that I have come to the following conclusions: E=hf or (hv) where h is a constant and is the frequency tells me that each cycle has exactly the same value. The increasing the value at higher frequency is that there is more of cycles each second. Higher frequencies have more energy in time but not for each cycle. In my module of the universe everything is made out of waves. That is there are no particles just a collection of standing wave's. The observation of particles is just because we can not see what the particles are made of. If any body can tell me how the energy EM waves are actually physically there I am very interested. That is basically what is energy.

It seems actually very reasonable that there are gravity that attract mass and a force that disperse mass in analogi with electric fields. So there may be a connection between these ?

[@user-if1ly5sn5f]

Each individual water drop in the body pushes and transfers the energy while changing itself. Like 1 hitting 2 and it transfers energy and not only moves in direction but moves in an evolution. It’s more apparent in macro things because we see it easier. The cascade is why it’s so fast but seems so slow now. We can see the patterns because we are those pieces in a form/pattern. We are grown in real time because of the cascade and patterns of growths in the brain. Cells being grown from the input of reality through the senses in a pattern that connects to the other senses patterns like touch or smell combining. The patterns are consistent and are seen in math, geography, and in life itself as well as the spirals in the universe. It’s kinda weird to think about if you think it’s weird so don’t think it’s weird and try to understand before sending hateful comments. Thank you. We grow in tandem with reality just as our cells and us grow and not just grow as in make bigger but shift in form like a butterfly, superpositioning.

[@0.618-0]

The gravitational waves detected by Ligo are some shockwave travelling through spacetime and matter. According to GR, gravity results from the curvature of STime due to matter density. This LIGO detection is not gravity as we know it on earth is it? Two black hiles merging would result in intense gravational forces, so how can gravity be ejected away from the event horizons merger, waves are eminating in a spiral fashion outward, overcoming the speed of light? What am i missing as it doesnt compute....

I am rather more attracted to the idea of dark matter simply being nanometre dust particles, and dark plasma in the form of hydrogen ions.

If space is has a lot of dust particles of just a few atom or two in size, then high energy photons could hit them directly raising their temperature to thousands of degrees, which - added together would explain what we call the CMB. Then there is the issue of redshift - which we do not fully understand, and it seems likely there is at least one unknown factor which causes light to lose energy over distance. And if that is true, then dark Energy will simply disappear in a puff of inevitable logic. For, just as LaPlace said to Napoleon, "Sire, I had no need of that hypothesis."

Please help me with one of the concepts I can understand, mainly his talking about dark matter. Yes, it's a large percentage of the mass in the universe but nobody knows "what it is". I gather Neil is saying that dark matter "is" right handed neutrinos, which would be very massive, larger than what we could see at LHC. Is that a correct statement? I don't believe he mentioned anything about dark energy, another great mystery, did I miss something? Lastly, did he speak about the problem of gravity at the quantum level, or even hint at it? It all seemed very macro and he stated clearly he was focusing on the simplicity of the macro.

?(1) Yes, you understand correctly what Neil is proposing and what the LHC Limitations are. ?(2) Yes, repulsive forces are already built into Einstein's equations by Einstien. So, same still applies as Neil made clear, though quickly so as I recall. ?(3) By way of Analytical Continuation (a very strongly established mathematical tool), the newly proposed eventual **"Linear/line"** reduction towards the singularity of his model, should/would more easily allow the inclusion of all relevent known physics such as what your asking about. This is/was the point (as I understand it) of Neil mentioning, and briefly indicating, the known relationship usages of "Analytical Continuation".

Oppsie, 'Analytical Continuation' might need to be replaced by 'Analytic Continuation' in my previous comment. I think I've heard it used both ways. I'm not sure which Neil said though now I'm thinking probably the latter. Either way, just trying to help.

Neil has it figured out!
