Hope you like the video! For those who might worry, I will also try to make a video about loop quantum gravity as well as other approaches to quantum gravity ;) To tackle this complex subject I was aided by Thomas Harvey, who is doing a PhD on string phenomenology, and who helped me a lot throughout the whole process of creating this video. Thomas was recently interviewed in a video by Simon Clark about quantum field theory : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXWsaoqKq7iIras I was also helped by Antoine Bourget, who is a researcher in theoretical physics, and who corrected some technical details in the script. For those who understand French you can check out his great KZbinchannel "Scientia Egregia" : kzbin.info/door/QFaJoQu0TP7je5HchCNjHA

Whoever disliked this video 🤢 System is the problem 🏡 Our Lives should be around Great Qualities 1, Show all living creatures; all the love and kindness as much as you can. 2, Only try to be honest with yourself. If you try to be honest with others, you will get into big trouble soon or later. 3, Aim only one target at a time; otherwise you are chasing two rabbits and you will miss both. So, the reason behind it. Have one powerful reason and never ever give up the one you want the most. 4, Don't try to be good person only but be the powerful person. We will grow to be the one or we will die. There is no other choice. 5, Always learn and look for to improve something your life. 6, You are not alone. Love and faith the high power reduces unnecessary stress in life. But never completely rely on it. 7, Success and happiness are the byproducts of our usefulness. So, always increase the possibility of success. 8, Life is not going to be easy. Because of our unnecessary things. Eliminate all the unnecessary things as much as you can by organising yourself well with the environments. 9, Never believe anything without the proper evidences. 10, Always try to give more than you take. Because it is dignity/ character of the divinity within you. 🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all. People are controlled by system why? The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are at the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more. Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix) 😊 Well, I truly love God. I am not religious but very spiritual person. So, I believe 1) Religion is the beliefs in someone experiences But spirituality is having my own experiences. The mainstream religions people promote religious ideology by giving guidelines and guide but In my spiritual life; I do not want anyone or anything between God and me to restrict my freedom to worship God. 2) We do not need any authorities to do good work. The god work is the good work always. In contrast; organised mainstream religions are claiming that they have the authorities to do God works as leaders so on. 3) God is not capable of doing wrong thing, change the past for us and create anything out of nothing for us. Nothing means not anything. So, even God is limited. The mainstream religious people believe that God is unlimited 4) God wants us to take responsibilities for our righteousness life but not for all the consequences of our actions because they are continued to exist among us. So, How can god punish us for all our consequences? The mainstream religious people believe we are full of sins because of all our actions. 5) Freewill is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure. So, we do not have choices all the time. In contrast teachings of the mainstream religions are promoting people to do god's will always because we all have choices of freewill always. 6) We can not separate everything into groups. So, everything for good and evil and there's no success and failure for everything. If everything is real then real things can not be threatened. Once you come to understand that God/The Holy Spirit is in each of us, You will no longer need a Book to tell you how to live. Then why we need religious scriptures? The Virtue is the expression of the basic goodness in our actions. The Basic goodness is the fundamental worthiness of every individuals. We are worthy to God always in everything. 7) Beliefs in a cruel God makes a cruel man. No matter what; every living creatures has the right to live and What makes their life cheap? Everything depends on everything. Nothing too big or too small in value. We can not love and hate at the same time; Being a vegetarian means love without cruelty happily. The mainstream religious people are killing people and sacrificing animals in the name of God. They promote God's cruel punishments. The Punishment is endless for Sinners/Devil according to religious scriptures. But God is love always. Overcome hate with love. If all religions for peace, unity? No way. Because they are not for peace. 8) Well, The God gave us everything to go from moment to moment in our lives as we do our part and pray only to thank god then the Love is in progress. The Love is always for everyone. We are always worthy of the God's love. Our greatest fear is; not to be loved by anyone but we are all loved by someone. When we eliminate all our unnecessary differences among us then true peaceful life is possible with the true love. If we can't find the peace within ourselves then we will never find it anywhere else. 9) This is the Fight for independence and freedom of humanity to worship God freely without religious guide and guidelines to restrict us. Unnecessarily, We do not want third party controls over us in anything ; especially in spirituality. 10) Revive Survive Thrive. Sincerely, The Real Peacemaker against religious oppression. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpPZdKuDm8h-rJY kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnqteX2webaWiK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6rbk5ejdtN8mas kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX3dlpShgKhpnKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnZeZRur6lqoLs

[@bf7592]

If any teachers are watching this, what makes this video particularly great is that it talks about the theory as an ongoing thing we're working on. Every school class I had would make some nod to "scientists are still out there working on things" but then they'd teach a bunch of stuff that's been outdated for years or even decades like it was set in stone and never actually bring up that part, or that a ton of it is just assumed. Kids naturally love to learn because they live in a world of unknowns so it's a valuable skill. But if you sit them down and give them the impression that everything is solved and then give them exercises that already have answers, they learn that learning is useless because someone else already figured out everything they might need, you're telling them the cognitive behaviors to think about things they don't yet have a grasp on are less useful, and the ones for memorizing and repeating are the most useful. That's a really dangerous cycle, and it's apparent in the fact that so many people stop learning as soon as they can get to comfortable.

[@transcommiegrindfreak]

Really underrated and great comment

[@yomeyo6622]

Absolutely agree, and it's sad that so many adults don't know that, including the ones who shape our education system. The curiosity is squashed out of the classrooms.

[@lmripper3659]

I'm a living example of this.I went to Auto-Mechatronic high school, didn't bother studying a single subject because they were making us learn outdated spark plug electricity power supply, we have coil plugs that do million times better job and are easier to understand. Not to mention the fact that they're teaching us in highschool whats inside of them and how they worked before teaching us what they even look like. I was naturally ahead hence i was keen to learn the engines and had already spent many years in workshops but damn never have i "repaired" one or heard of them to be repaired. I dipped from school and passed it with bein sick 3/4 of the year. Useless forced information on everything that's outdated+the things they were teaching were years ahead from the basic knowledge of how such thing works(im talking about enginering it before knowing how it works)

[@frankj9270]

Okay… school doesn’t teach unfinished theories so i don’t see your point. The science we learn in high school and college is factual.

[@yomeyo6622]

@frankj9270 I apologize, not to be mean, but I guess people having your kind of mentality are running the education system, and the result speaks of itself. He's talking about school not teaching kids the importance of curiosity and research. Which translates into problem solving skills related to problems that don't have answers already. School teach kids to solve exercises that already have an answer, so when they become adults, they don't think for themselves and have this idea that they live in a system that have everything already figured out for them. That's why so many 18 year olds leave high school not knowing what to study or what to do with their lives, because they got used on being told what to do, rather than be curious and exploring for themselves. The education system is broken, and what our wise self greedy politicians don't realize, is that it's such a national security risk for the US, because it'll make foreign governments easily manipulate and sway uneducated and stupid American adults in the present and future.

[@jpbcollins]

I was getting goosebumps at supersymmetry but that’s possible explanation of mass as the speed of light but slowed down by a small tightly curled direction was just incredible. This is a mind blowing video.

[@WormSlurper3000]

I know I'm replying to an 8-month-old comment, and maybe it's been brought up elsewhere in the comments (or even right in the video and I've forgotten already!) but it makes me wonder about the part of the theory of special relativity that says accelerating objects gain mass as they approach the speed of light - maybe it's more that they only APPEAR to gain mass, because they're shifting more into the curled-up dimensions? I could be making connections where there are none, since I'm no physics nerd myself and I'm unsure of the theory's own reasoning for that claim, but it's neat to think about. :D

[@MJaquez55]

Wait yeah wouldn’t that mean objects with more mass cannot go to our observable lighspeed but instead it’s curled up version which is only a fraction of it. And the reason that objects with more mass have more inertia is because they are actualy going faster and have more energy but we just observe it as slower because it’s curled up.

This is the first description of the small, curled up dimensions predicted by superstring theory that actually allowed me to have some kind of understanding of that's actually supposed to mean, and particularly why they seem to only be relevant at extremely small scales. Understanding that dimensions are essentially just different directions, different degrees of freedom, made it really hard to intuit how they could be smaller, or curved, compared to the familiar ones without that specific visualization.

A related thought experiment for thinking in extra dimensions Imagine a 2D being trying to build a 3D house. It cannot see in the 3rd dimension, only travel through it. The walls of the house, to the 2D being, would need to be giant blocks that nothing can be in. Of course to a 3D being it would just be a simple plane, but to the 2D being it’s an impassible block with nothing inside it except more of the block.

I watched this video about a month or so ago. Since then it’s been discovered that neutrinos oscillate between states and its theorized that a 4th state, known as a sterile neutrino, could be a gateway particle to understanding how dark matter works. It immediately made me think of the sections of this video that goes into the 10 dimensional universe part of string theory and I got chills when you mentioned at around 12:40 that superstring theory could also predict the existence of other particles that we can’t see because they reside within higher dimensions.

Nicely written and I hope you have a little critical thinking in reserve, because superstrings can be the magic of the smartest people who want to maintain their lifestyle and the supply of money from the state budget. Similarly, there are furnished churches whose object of faith also cannot be verified and will never be verified. In terms of dimensions, they are not habitable spaces for unknown particles, but "non-spaces" (compacted dimensions) for specific particle properties. In those 10 dimensions there are three big dimensions (our space) and in other compacted dimensions there should be spin, charge ... It turns out that 10 or 10 + 1 is not enough and therefore we already have 27 compacted dimensions, from which it is a problem to switch into our four-dimensional space and neither mass nor constants can be deduced from them ... just nothing. This is just a footnote to think about, because the "Sheldons" do exist in science, have no relevant results, and are unable to do any useful work. Therefore, the company places them in its subsidized "dimensions", in which they can not cause any damage. :)

Best short video on string theory I’ve seen. Isn’t it interesting that 2500 years ago Plato said all reality was built from music and now here we are talking about vibrating strings. And of course Plato is not alone. Many mythologies and creation stories feature music as the agency by which the world was created. A modern version would be Tolkien’s writings on the creation of Middle Earth.

Amazing channel!! Question: Would then be possible that, instead of a wave, the particle is actually travelling in a dimension that we yet cannot see (Like explained) thus making it appear being a probability instead of actually be heading in a single direction?

[@connerp841]

Wow very interesting idea!

[@RizalBudiLeksono]

I also thinking about this idea

[@scrubnub2443]

If it did, then we would observe a change in velocity of the particle during its journey towards the target, since traveling through a different spatial dimension would increase its relative path length. We know them to behave like waves since we have also directly observed their wave nature, ex. shooting photons through a slit produces a diffraction pattern with fringe spacing dependent on the width of the slit. Since we don't observe any changes in velocity i.e. photons all travel the same speed through the same medium, it is unlikely what you said is occuring. However, they do imply here that maybe what we observe to be different materials with different index of refraction are actually just particles which contain curled dimensions. This may be why we observe different velocities for photons traveling through different materials, and why those materials have different masses than others. (I think)

[@danebouchie]

Good idea. But no. This is because of Bells Theorem which sort of explores the way those probabilities work. In short the particle does not have any extra properties (hidden variables, like location on a new dimension). You can look up Bells Theorem/Inequality for more.

[@michaelbaumgartner3746]

I have watched countless videos on string theory and until now have only understood the high level concept that "viewing particles as strings allows us to describe gravity in a quantum way". This video took my understanding to a much deeper level when you walked through the differences in how string theory describes interactions vs. the standard model. How you visually show the evolution of a string as a continuous process vs. the instantaneous process in the standard model and connect that to how it eliminates the infinities we get when trying to apply General relativity to the standard model was soo insightful for me. I feel like I really understand the theory now even though I got a C in calculus in college and would never be able to interpret the equations. It is videos like this that allow the average person to understand our most complex scientific theories.

[@mbrochh82]

Here is a ChatGPT summary: - String Theory is a model that attempts to explain the quantum world and gravity. - It proposes that particles are made up of tiny strings that can vibrate in different ways, which behave like different particles on our scale. - It predicts the existence of the graviton and explains why there are different types of particles. - To include fermions, spinors are added to the strings, creating a theory called Superstring Theory. - This theory requires a universe with 10 dimensions, but our universe only has 4. - It is hypothesized that the 6 missing dimensions are curled up on themselves, or that our universe is a 3-dimensional slice of a larger 9-dimensional super-universe. - There are 5 versions of Superstring Theory, which are approximations of a single more complete model with 11 dimensions, called M Theory. I think it did surprisingly well, but of course actually watching this video is far better because of the visuals.

I've always been fascinated by the world of subatomic particles, and have occasionally checked in on developments for years and years.

[@TheOmarOtmane]

I asked GPT4 to come up with a similar theory and here is the answer: Superloop theory Superloop theory is a hypothetical theory that extends superstring theory by replacing the one-dimensional strings with two-dimensional loops. These loops can have different shapes and sizes, and can interact with each other by merging, splitting, twisting, or bending. The loops are also subject to quantum fluctuations, which give rise to different modes of vibration and rotation. Each mode corresponds to a different type of particle or force, and the geometry of the loop determines its properties and interactions. Superloop theory aims to explain all the phenomena of nature in terms of these fundamental loops.
