Yeah, Sean is the real thing. I suspect there are only a dozen public facing scientists that understand physics as deeply as he does. I was actually surprised at how little Neil seemed to know about QM and its history. I realize it’s not his field (no pun intended), but it a prerequisite to understanding The Standard Model. Anyway, the thing I really like about Sean is that he’s not sloppy in his verbal explanations the way some educators can be-Brian Greene, I’m looking at you. I’m grateful that him and Lenny have tried to elevate popular physics to include basic mathematical descriptions. After reading his Big Ideas books, you won’t be able to solve any of the equations physcists use, but I think it’s fair to say that even without a physics background, so long as you read carefully, you will have deeply internalized the very basic mathematical concepts, which paints a slightly more precise picture about how we know what we know. But it’s not a textbook, you will absolutely not be able to calculate Feynman diagrams via coupling constants. But you will know what Feynman diagrams are, and you will no longer think of particles as tiny marbles, and you’ll know why we don’t think that anymore. All of his popular books are great. He’s a very clear writer. Can’t wait for the third book on complexity and emergence.

The two of them have a great dynamic, but if they ever have a guest on besides a regular cohost… it just really bums me out how guests get needlessly interrupted so consistently. Sometimes to take turns riffing on a joke and other times just to give their 2 cents. I’m all for jokes and the casual vibe of the podcast, but even with the serious comments it distracts me. I feel like it is good to ask “can this wait until the end of the guest’s sentence?” and the answer is often “yes” but they still do it. It bums me out because I enjoy these two so much and love the podcast, but I feel like it comes off as rude or at the very least like they aren’t taking the person seriously.

One thing non-scientist people constantly forget about when it comes to observing tiny things like electrons and subatomic particles is that, since they are so tiny, observing them isn't like observing a ball being thrown through space. You can look at the ball as it flies around and it keeps fllying forward, because in order to observe it you don't have to interact with it in any destructive or damaging way. But in order to observe an electron, due to its tiny size, there's no way to repeatedly bounce photons of the same one electron to create pictures of its motion, because that same photon you used to observe it now becomes a part of it and it changes it's properties. For the detection to happen, the electron needs to be absorbed or deflected or destroyed in some way in order for the detector to get a singular blip of data. Once you do that - once you know a single quality of the observed electron at the single moment of its observation - it's original properties are unobservably gone. If you put your detector in a singular point of space, you can measure the energy of electron it has in that point in that one moment, but not its other properties for which you need to see it in motion. At the other hand, if you set your experiment to observe electrons in motion, guided or deflected by magnetic fields for example, once they pass through that carefuly set up area of space, they are free to go anywhere in any way. There's no way to measure these particles in a way that doesn't influences them. So our limitation here is the same as it is for a blind and deaf person who is trying to figure out how flying golf balls work. They could have one ball in hand and learn its properties by touch, but know nothing about other balls flying around them and where they come from, or they can be hit by the ball and know the direction and energy that one ball had at the moment of impact, but not where it went after or what its surface felt like.

Could you give a brief explanation that would help me understand, or at least begin to understand ?" He replied "If someone tells you they understand quantum physics and tries to explain it to you, walk away, they are wasting your time and will leave you more confused than you were to begin with". He then told me some of the 'oddities' involved after which I now fully believe that the human brain is not capable of fully understanding it.

In the show The Strongest Man In History they took a "normal" man to try some of the challenges and warm-ups the strongmen were doing.

Thus when he couldn't do XYZ thing, or their warmups were his max, it showed just how strong the strongmen (Eddie Hall, Brian Shaw, Robert Oberst, & Nick Best) were. Example; Their warmup military press weight was 125lbs. The average guy could do it as his max workout 1x3, so he was in no way weak. Chuck Nice kinda reminds me of that "normal guy". He's smart, well educated, perceptive, very insightful and quick as good comedians are, but not quite in the area of many of the PhD's. Edit: Chuck. Thank you for being one of the hosts.

It's kinda weird, because from what I'm hearing : - Entanglement simply means that elements (I'll call particle/fields that way) are affected by one another, and they risk losing that entanglement each time they interact with another element because each new interaction reduces the effect of the original entanglement. Although I'll probably go back to this later. - Quantum physics seem to say that fields are going to interact with each other as fields of probability for as long as they can, until an observer sets which probability is real in this world. The consciousness hypothesis then makes sense as in our consciousness can only exist in a single world, and so it is that consciousness that sets which world we exist in. - However, and here's I'm gonna go on a little hypothesis of my own, it could be possible that the fields of probability still exist even once we set the world we live, because all the worlds all exist within the same space, and that is what Dark matter and Dark energy is : the fields of all the probabilities that didn't occur in our world, still interacting with all the other fields. Essentially, our cousciousness only allows us to see a single world even though multiple exist simultaneously. - Finally, on the topic of free will, while I do believe we're just really fancy organic computers, what I said just above would indicate that "free will" is in fact our ability to choose which world we want to live in, and although there are multiple worlds out there with versions of us that chose those worlds, this cousciousness of ours chose this world specifically to live in, and that is our free will. I'm probably wrong, especially on that second to last one, but that's what I understood from this x).

36:45 Okay, this part is a little confusing to me unless I have a different perspective on spacetime than them. When we observe the background radiation, we are not necessarily detecting what is far away in space, we are observing what is far away in time. That which we see does not "exist" 14b lightyears away, the part that we observe only "exists" within the telescope/detection equipment of earth. The location in spacetime when it actually occurred, the universe was much smaller and differently shaped in "space", so it would make a lot more sense for it to be all one temperature when its theoretically in a "space" that's smaller than an atom (or whatever the claim is).

First time I thought free will might not exist was the realization that where we are born and the genetics we inherit - two things we have no control over - play a huge role in who we become.

Solve for charge equals mc squared. Between two objects in space and calculate for the gravitational expansion between the objects. Remember to include net zero forces or else. Use the green app to get all the equations you'll need for the newtonian version.

Thank you Sean for clearing up the Mind / Body problem. Since we were children playing with blocks, we see the world in terms of “solid” objects (cars, brains) versus mental events - feelings, visions, thoughts and ideas. The fact is that viewpoint is just a “matter” of perspective. The electron is represented by a wave equation - a probability distribution of finding it somewhere in space, of describing the distribution of the energy associated with it. In the case of an idea or thought, the picture is more complex but fundamentally similar. A thought is a dynamic pattern of electrochemical energy in our brains, associated with action potentials, release of chemicals from one neuron to another, and so on, and that are in some cases “embedded in our brains” to allow us to recognize your Mother, your car, these words. Both are ephemeral; you can’t pin either one down. This IMO is the basis of the mystical experience.

This video has just warmed my heart. I remember last year Sean Carroll was around to discuss the Patreon questions from his home and I found a home in him. Regular Mindscape podcast. My KZbin algorithms is pure Sean Carroll videos, my KZbin downloads is Sean Carroll. The bayesian reasoning helps my legal career because my industry is one for arguments and just like the LAWS of physics are LAWS, I practice LAW but an emergent imaginary law to solve legal problems. Sean is the GOAT

How do you check to make sure two particles are entangled? Because as soon as one particle is measured, the connection is broken and the second particle can do what ever it wants from that point onwards.

Neil, I love you, I really do, and I understand the desire to keep it light and conversational with mirth and comedic relief (Chuck Nice is legit funny). But PLEASE stop interrupting your guests when they're speaking, ESPECIALLY when they're in the middle of an interesting insight. Neil isn't the only one guilty of this, TONS of science podcasters do this and it really irks me because it knocks the guest off his/her train of thought and sometimes leads to tangents that don't resolve whatever the original question was. Just a small criticism. Some podcasts Neil doesn't do this much and the flow is excellent (e.g. Brian Greene), others (like this one with Sean Carroll), he does it enough that it's noticeable. Sean Carroll is a great guest and one of the FEW science communicators who's also pretty well versed in philosophy which makes his insights far more multifaceted than most physicists. Love the show, but let them speak uninterrupted please!

Okay, so...the big mystery is that since quantum mechanics is not a deterministic theory (mostly) and that it is a probabilistic theory (tends to be), most of quantum mechanics is more easily grasped as coincidence, rather than determinism. The problem we run up against is that this coincidence results in a universe which appears wholly deterministic. It's not the kind of coincidence we are used to. Once you open the box and see the cat, you are already coincidentally, and unavoidably, at once, in the only universe where you can see the cat which is coincident with you. Even if you can construct the experiment so that you can know what state the cat is in "immediately " you can only observe the cat's state which is coincident with you.
