My favourite “multiverse,”theory is Eternal Inflation/bubble universes. I believe it derives from observation of quantum fluctuation and the cosmic microwave background. Awesome concept. Mind bender.

Along with that, the idea that we are not the first. That inflation was occurring before our existence, then in our little pocket it stopped. So there may have been something before us. Or we are the first and all the others came after us. Either one is truly mind blowing.

[@peteremidy7221]

My Mom was at Princeton in the 70s when Wheeler was still there. She had dinner with him a couple times, she'd always tell me that it was super cool being able to talk to him about Einstein. I'm always jealous that she got to know Wheeler and some other famous physicists. It's always fun when one of the space/physics channels I watch talk about him so I can show her the video and reinforce how cool Wheeler was.

[@davidb2380]

Wheeler was Feynman's PhD thesis. When they met for the first time, Wheeler took off his watch and put in on his desk to emphasize to Feynman that his time was limited. The next time they met, Feynman took his own watch off and placed it next to Wheeler's watch. The third time they met and at all subsequent meetings, neither man took their watch off.

Meant to write for the first sentence, "Wheeler was Feyman's PhD supervisor".

I’ve been telling my curious friends that drones abusing vacuums, aerogels, and the Casimir effect are probably more in line with “UAP” reports than it ever being ET. I’m open to it, but the way they present sounds like 50-50 radar spoofing and drones. I’m glad to see a popular KZbinrs covering the Casimir effect. More videos like this!

[@BriarLeaf00]

I think the Kasimir effect is way more important on a theoretical and mathematical level than something we can somehow harness. Still, it's absolutely incredible what's happening in what we think of as empty space or vacuum.

[@MisterG2323]

That closing comment was a touch unsettling. "I wonder if someday..." Another great video, as always, thank you!

[@phils4634]

The Casimir effect was originally proposed by Hendrik Casimir in 1948. This effect has also been used to explain aggregative behaviours in particulate emulsions, especially paints. Interesting, relatively small black holes (Kugelblitz black holes) have been proposed as an energy source. The problem with Hawking radiation is that it's not being radiated by the singularity. Particles that fall inside the event horizon can easily recombine with their opposite antiparticle, and this applies too for those created outside the event horizon; black holes do not necessarily act as a virtual particle radiation source. Space inside the event horizon is the same as space outside, and although the gravitational field is significant, all particles are exposed to the same free-fall acceleration, so they can behave just as particles beyond the horizon behave.

[@808bigisland]

Everything below the horizon is unobservable and thus conjecture. A favorite conjecture of mine is that all local bh are local instances of a single singularity connected backwards in many time dimensions.

2:58 all photons travel at the speed of light except when they don’t 😮

[@alwayscurious413]

This is profound. it is commonplace to conflate the limitation on speed (of anything) that arises out of special relativity, with the constancy of light speed as a function of frequency (zero dispersion in a vacuum.). They may not necessarily be related. In nature, other than in a vacuum we readily observe dispersion. However for light in a vacuum we do not, and the jury for the existence of the he aether is still out (and if it existed it would likely be dispersive.).

[@danij5055]

Not quite. All photons travel at the speed of light. It's possible that the speed of light is different for different energies of light. Just like the speed of sound changes depending on the density of the medium, for example.

[@UnfollowYourDreams]

No, they always travel at the speed of light. It's just that the speed of light isn't the same for every medium they travel through.

[@imadoggggggg]

No they still travel at the speed of light. They only travel at the speed of light. The speed of light changes to how fast their going.

[@stevehead365]

If you had two metal plates in a vacuum close enough together such that the Casimir force was significant. Then apply a strong magnetic field such that say positrons would be deflected to one plate and electrons would be deflected to the other plate, so if a positron/electron pair materialised they may be split up, recovered and energy extracted from the vacuum. this idea could well be rubbish but if it does work, you heard it here first and no corporation can patent it. The idea is similar to Hawking radiation except a magnet substitutes for a black hole, no singularity required.

[@animistchannel]

While we can't really claim that Wheeler was "underrated" he did have an unusual quality even among scientists. He allowed Nature to be Nature, without interjecting his own preconceived suppositions, and encouraged himself and others to simply appreciate and accept what Nature has to offer. This allowed him to pre-emptively accept notions like quantum field theory, even that "there is only one electron" for the sake of practical application in time-space; and he mentored others like Feynman and Everett to make ground-breaking realizations about the consequences of how reality actually works, whether that makes sense to your limited monkey-brain or not. This kind of outside-the-box humility and perception may go beyond what current experiments can demonstrate, but it also allows one to simply accept the facts of what experiments do demonstrate without apology. He got weirder things than you as toy prizes in his breakfast cereal, and he let them be what they are. This is how truly breakthrough changes in perception of reality are born...

[@WestOfEarth]

Interesting coincidence regarding the varying speed of photons from the blazar....Matt over at PBS Spacetime just this week talked about a modification to Special Relativity in which at very high energies, the speed of light may depend on wavelength. Having both the former and latter concept pop up in my science diet this week is intriguing.

Casimir effect is the result of the inability of photons to slip ion between the plates. A photon cannot be trapped inside of a volume that can not accomodate at least half its wavelength. Thus, more photons outside the plates than can slip in between the plates.

[@decalco1373]

If the universe is infinite, than true nothhing has no place in it.

[@alwayscurious413]

Chances are it would violate the uncertainty principle that prevents us from knowing ‘everything’ about ‘something’. You could argue the Big Bang / quantum fluctuation (discussed perfectly in this video) arises from the same principle. In QM specifically, the lowest level of the harmonic oscillator is found to be non zero - in others words if you build a perfect pendulum then it cannot ever be in a ground state of zero - it is always swinging. This in turn implies the presence of a perfect undamped restoring force keeping the harmonic oscillation in motion. Ditto in a vacuum, we know that a light wave propagates with constant speed, evidently undamped, and hence zero dispersion with all frequencies travelling at the same speed. Something has to give - I’m hoping it’s zero dispersion in the vacuum.

I'm very nearsighted. Without my glasses, everything I look at is as smooth and clear as everything else, unless I'm very very close to the object. So only on the smallest of scales can I clearly see what is going on, and further away, I see everything as universally and equally distinct. This has been my life for over 40 years. This being the case, why is it such a hard concept for scientists to grasp? The notion that the universe changes when you pass a certain scale isn't hard to grasp, so long as you have been required to see the world through different eyes.

Hi John, big fan have been for many years. I wanted to ask if you hold any opinions on cold fusion? Thanks again for the great video.

[@alwayscurious413]

I’ll chime in here - cold fusion could really be the release of stored energy from certain exotic materials. And let’s face it, nature certainly knows how to store energy in matter. So for me cold fusion was an experiment to extract stored energy - the discoverers upset a lot of people with their choice of name and the result was the physics equivalent of the Spanish Inquisition. It still goes on today but fortunately JWT is revealing lots of nice inconsistencies in the standard model.

[@SkylerLinux]

I still hate Virtual Particles, they're a bad abstraction. Since everything Quantum is a Wave, it's much better to talk about waves. Waves handily explain the Casimer effect, the nearly atomically smooth metal being so close together means certain wave-lengths can't exist between the plates; which causes the pressure. Waves explain matter anti-matter interactions, as apposing wave phases cancel out; the energy generally pops out as a Photon which is it's own anti-particle. The event horizon of a black-hole means the Quantum "Foam" ripples can't cancel out so the waves that travel away from the black-hole carry away the energy equal to the anti-waves energy going into the black-hole.

[@bruceclark2058]

Waves is a good analogy, and pinpoints why application of the Casimir effect to technologies is somewhat difficult to harness and develop. Our current quantum technology at larger scale than some atoms would destroy the object we want to manipulate. If we could use some standing wave electrostatic time dilation or something (Clark tech I know) safe where temperature stays normal, and there isn’t blueshift maybe we can actually harness this quirky effect and apply it to something interesting.

[@briarclubdumpstervideos]

After everything else is done happening, Hawking radiation will very gradually fill the universe with uniform matter/energy, which (my guess) eventually reaches a flash point or big bang. No need for virtual particles to do anything unusual or for an expanding universe. Einstein finally gets his static universe, lol.

Something that personally astounds me regarding science are the instances when a theory is presented, and then later proven to be true. Compared to observing phenomena and then figuring out how its process works, I think the former really attests to the capability of the human mind.

It’s also a path to hell for STEM students who have a hard time applying their ideas to reality… I know what you mean, but a lot of stuff is provable and works. But proving theories vs explaining phenomenon is a tenet of that bad thinking in my experience. Obviously for just learning science it’s ok and obviously necessary l. But godawful for something by like geoengineering. I’m rambling, but I think both ways of learning are important. One or the other isn’t enough. It needs to be both.

Nice episode. Quantum foam and gravitational waves in a energy density regime. What if the vacuum is closer to true outside the universe. ( CMB relic not seen with the rest. ). Hawking radiation and the end of a black hole. A natural limit/cutoff/minimum for white holes. Besides Quantum flux without pair production or deposit ring structure or such is ignoring a bit. The universe a natural cutoff regime or limit. A boltzmann time bomb. Time as we know it ending when the last particle decays. Further out and photons don't even come close to each other. The universe in a sudo ground state. The work done. Cumulative effects of particle production and decays and red shifting and space expending and where. Gravity a byproduct of mass and energy in a given area. Quantum flux included, and might be seen as part of the energy in a given frame. If part of a pair or ring of universes produced by natural cutoffs. Then you can start to construct theoretical and probabilistic modeling for where they might exist out there. Multiple viable paths to pre bang conditions. I love the topic matter, but it also makes me want to argue points. S.A.I. and could the universe have a cryptographic imprint. The universe at flash over point 12.5 light year diamiter with error bars. Cherenkov radiation and FTL in a medium and production surfing a Gravity wave. Flow and fluidity and fluidic states. Phase transition from coldest to honest state. But back to the topic. Probability and predictability and particle production from quantum foam and gravitational waves and energy density regimes. Energy thresholds to produce particles. The no FTL seen in a vacuum and no Quantum foam/flux spikes seen above another very small point should make people question things. The larger scale artifacting and big galaxies forming so early in the universe. The hubble tension and S8. Keep up the good work. I love the topics you go over.
