Ok Joe. So here it goes: A theory was needed to model all the interactions for subatomic particles. The two competing theories were Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) and String Theory (the first draft let's call it). *BUT* when compared with the measurements in the experiments, the predictions of String Theory produced huge errors, so it was discarded (as you do with a theory that doesn't agree with experiment) and QCD prevailed.The thing is, in the math of String Theory they realized that some of the expressions could be used to build a quantized model of gravity (!) So it was taken out from the trash can and refurbished. *BUT* in the equations there appeared particles that traveled faster than light (which no one has ever seen or measured and clashes with fundamental observed principles). So they started shuffling the math and realized that if you postulate that somehow there are several more dimensions in this world (that no one has never seen or measured and clashes with fundamental observed principles) then the superluminal particles don't appear. *BUT* now there was the problem that in the math there appeared "phantom particles", some sort of particles with negative energy (that no one has never seen or measured and clashes with fundamental observed principles). So they re-shuffled the math and realized that if you vary again the number of dimensions that problem is solved but there appears a whole new kind of particles that are symmetric (or supersymmetric if you will) to the ones we already know and have measured. Those supersymmetric particles to this day no one has never seen or measured, that was one of the hopes of the LHC, but so far nothing. Several "types" of String Theory appeared according to how you consider the math and the postulates. And M-Theory is a hypothetical theory still yet to be found that is considered to underlie all these types. Then... they found a ground shattering gem: That the math that models this quantum strings (albeit shuffled in a very weird way and managed with very weird conditions) is "word for word" in correspondence with the math that models gravity (albeit in a very weird form in a very weird mathematical space, but yeah, let's call it gravity). This mathematical duality between Quantum Field Theories and "Gravity" is a true beauty of Mathematics... however when you dig a little bit, you realize that this duality can be spared completely of the concept of strings (but they helped to find it anyway). String Theory at its core sits on an equation that consists of an infinite sum of mathematical terms, some of those terms correspond to quantum field theories, some of those terms look like gravity as well (a weird one), that's why it's so exciting to possibly consider it the Theory of Everything finally, but given that it *IS* an infinite series, well, you could find anything in there: maybe at some point in the series you find a term that models pink flying elephants. But as usual with any mathematical theory you have to compare it with the experiment. Well here's where it becomes the emperor's new theory, there's no way to design experiments that prove the theory true or false. So a theory that can potentially explain INFINITELY EVERYTHING but that can prove nothing, well... it's useless for the physical sciences. The thing is, Joe, that we have had some of the brightest minds in existence today (Witten, Maldacena, etc. among thousands of others) working on it for around 40 years and nothing of physical substance has come out of it, great amounts of hugely impressive and beautiful Math yes, but sadly no Physics so far.

[@shinjisan2015]

My favourite analogy for what string theory tries to do (linking physics of very small with physics of very big) is imagine the universe is a blanket. Each thread (string/physics of the very small) vibrates in its own way, but you weave all those threads together and the blanket moves in a totally different way (physics of the very big). You can imagine a single thread wiggling away in a blanket, and then seeing how the whole blanket moves at the same time. Really is such a great way to not melt your brain.

[@johnboze]

"Let me give you all a stroke" "I had a stroke in college when I proved Special Relativity is Wrong" 30 years later ==> String Theory Will Always Be Tangled as Will Relativity. Here is why: The Bożeon. The Paper Titled "The Principles of Nature: Bożeon Flows, Density Gradients, and Orientation" will begin to make Everything Right to be published in the next year or two (sad face). Pending inclusion of experimental works of about ~20 other Physicists who have proved on their own through various papers that Bożeon Flows explain all aspects of Nature. They use PC words like "quantum superfluid" and "Dark Energy" but they are Bożeon Flows. The "The Principles of Nature: Bożeon Flows, Density Gradients, and Orientation" is the result of decades of "thought experiments" about the Nature of Everything. Essentially the goal was to explain All of Nature starting with a basic TENET (Nolan Rocks) and Rebuild the Laws of Nature starting with "First Principles" (Musk Rocks) to explain what we know as the Laws of Physics. In the end, Our Understanding of Nature Changes Everything! I will give you a glimpse into some of the basic tenets and the current conclusion. Proof and Rationale for the Conclusion will have to wait! QUESTION: What is the Fabric of the Universe and how does it explain the Principles of Nature? FINAL ANSWER: There is only one "field" (more like surface-less ocean) and only one "God Particle" (The Bożeon) ("God Particle" in Polish after the Polish-American Physicist who proposed the Bożeon) that flow within the "ocean" or "field", your choice. All other known "fields" and particles are made up of flows of Bożeons within this “Ocean”. You are made of it (Matter), and you are floating in it (Absolute Vacuum Space filled with Bożeons). BASIC TENETS: [1] ALL FORCES ARE LOCAL (all forces are caused by local collisions). [2] SPACE IS INVARIANT (you cannot bend space, you can only bend things within a space). [3] TIME IS INVARIANT (you cannot bend time, you can only bend things within a time). [4] YOU CANNOT BEND OR WARP SPACE OR TIME UNLESS YOU ARE "DR. STRANGE" OR "DR. WHO". [0] THERE ARE MORE, BUT THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW, DON'T YOU THINK! Obviously this means "RELATIVITY IS BUNK", but that proof, although well known now, will not be public till the paper is released. So Bożeons, what are they? Space is a complete empty vacuum filled with Bożeons. A Small Particle whose shape is unknown but speculated to be one of a suggested class of elongated tetrahedrons on the order of the Planck Length wide size wise. The Bożeon's geometric shape similar to the Helium-4 nucleus (but elongated and off center moment of inertia to explain "electric field polarization" - Bożeon Orientation). "Magnetic fields" are simply Bożeon Flows. Flows out of North into South on a Magnet. Photons are Bożeon flows that follow the Bose-Einstein Photon Momentum Wave Equation. One Central forward flowing vortex of Bożeon Flow and 4 Vortex Back Flows of Bożeons. And several smaller outer Flows. A Photon is λ Thick and 2 λ Wide. The internal structure of a Photon is made up of Bożeon Flows that satisfy both the Bose-Einstein Momentum Wave Function AND the Boson Wave Function. The volume of the Photon is directly proportional to it's wavelength. Yes Photons have a specific volume (im lookin at the Photon Volume function now folks). Photons ARE NOT singularities that experience no space or time! Period! Singularities Violate the BASIC TENETS OF NATURE! Electrons are similar to Photons in that they are Bożeon Flows but the summed momentum of all Bożeon flows do not allow it to travel at the speed of light. My favorite part about Bożeon Flows is it exactly explains gravity without magic. It explains Vacuum Energy (Zero Energy) is just Bożeons in a space with a density gradient toward the source, usually matter, which is also made of Bożeons. Coalescence. The collisions of the Bożeon Flow in Matter with the Polarized Bożeon Gradient in the "Vacuum" causes a net force in the direction of greater Bożeon density. THIS IS GRAVITY! A local collision of Bożeons in Free Space transferring momentum to other Bożeons in the Matter causing a net force and acceleration toward the greater Bożeon density. (Bożeon Collisions Are 100% elastic, no losses, conservation of energy). "Gravity" should be called "Coalescence" from now on! There are about ~20 physicists I have found that have the mathematical pieces of the puzzle ... and I plan to publish the paper in the next 2 years proving that ~~billions of Bożeons make up Photons and Electrons and All Particles and they Fill The Vacuum of Space (you guys call it Dark Energy). By end of next year not only will we show how Photon Bożeon Flows keep a Photon in motion but also why all the classical experiments like the single and double slit experiment are explained. Diffraction is caused by the momentum in the Particles Bożeon Flows being altered by the Bożeons in the side of the slit wall Matter as it impacts it. The change in the momentum of the Bożeon Flow within the Photon causes the change in direction and perfectly explains (math) the diffraction pattern to a 'T'. Einstein's Photon Clock Is a Lie. No one has ever explained a Photon Clock Correctly. Soon You Will See How Photon Clocks Actually Work (or Don't). No Warped Space Time. (Sorry Matt O'Dowd)(Matt O'Dowd Rocks Most), U 2 Joe!

[@Sinnbad21]

In short, it just means that the universe doesn’t only get as small as protons and quarks. It gets smaller than that... tiny vibrating strings of energy. Too small to ever see. They vibrate in all sorts of different ways. Vibrating one way might create an electron. Vibrating another way might create a quark, etc. All the matter in the universe essentially comes from these super tiny vibrating strings. The math behind it also suggests that our universe might contain 11 dimensions instead of the 4 that we know. We know of 3 spatial dimensions (up/down, left/right, forward/backward) and 1 time dimension. String theory says there are 10 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimension. The extra 7 dimensions that we can’t see are super tiny as well. So tiny that the only thing that can interact with them in anyway are the vibrating strings

Just a comment on the Black Plague. I worked with a guy from Europe (I’m in the States) who’s friend was doing some work on his house, which he thought was about 200 years old. When the workers broke through one of the walls they found the wall loaded with hundreds of dead rats. After researching it he found out his house was much older than he thought. He found out during the Black Plague they new that rats had something to do with the plague so they would mix them in the cement (or something like it) to ward off the rats, therefore making the house immune to the plague. While they came close with the correlation, they fell short of the actual reason. I have always though this was pretty cool. This would be a good topic for you to address, how people during different timeframes addressed the issues they were facing. Whether it’s medical, superstition, cultural, etc. would give you a lot of future episodes... in case you ever run out of ideas.

It needs to make testable predictions and it needs to be falsifiable. if it is not -- with current technology -- then it needs to be considered an interesting story but nothing more.

But the problem is we currently don't have a testable theory of everything. Strong theory is one of a few candidates that hasn't been proven unreal yet. Whether it has a chance of being the true theory of everything or not, it is our best guess. So unless someone comes up with something better, there is a lot of value in studying string theory.

Even if string theory presents absolutely no hope of a theory of everything, it has contributed to massive advances in the fields of quantum information (AdS/CFT), condensed matter physics (holography), and gauge and Yang-Mills theory. In math, string theory has been responsible for contributions to algebraic geometry (curve counting on the quintic), arithmetic geometry (see Moore's work on attractors), knot theory, mirror symmetry, among others. Not only has string theory taught us about the physics we know and use to describe the world we live in, it has contributed to huge advances in mathematics.

[@realBeltalowda]

Would be interesting to hear what you think of the recent findings that seem to indicate that time doesn’t actually flow so much but instead unfolds like a chemical reaction, leading us more towards Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation in that it seems that the Universe is fundamentally random, and the possibility that time is not actually reversible and therefore not predetermined. This hinges on the concepts of Intuitive Mathematics which tosses out the concept of infinite real numbers (i.e. numbers with fractional parts that approach infinite). In Intuitive Mathematics, numbers that have infinite fractions are not real, and instead they are represented by mathematical functions that will compute the next decimal place in their sequence ad infinitum. This is akin to how some functional programming languages like Haskell, modeled almost entirely from mathematics, handle infinite lists and the like. Essentially, the values that determine when and where reactions occur are not finite and set and are instead computed up to the point that a reaction may occur, and the stoppage of that computation lends itself to the randomness we see at the quantum level (due to rounding of those infinite fractional numbers). www.quantamagazine.org/does-time-really-flow-new-clues-come-from-a-century-old-approach-to-math-20200407/

Just Remember the Higgs is the "Goddamned" Particle. Only one true family of "God Particles" that we know of: The Bożeon. The Paper Titled "The Principles of Nature: Bożeon Flows, Density Gradients, and Orientation" will begin to make Everything Right to be published in the next year or two (sad face). Pending inclusion of experimental works of about ~20 other Physicists who have proved on their own through various papers that Bożeon Flows explain all aspects of Nature. They use PC words like "quantum superfluid" and "Dark Energy" but they are Bożeon Flows. The "The Principles of Nature: Bożeon Flows, Density Gradients, and Orientation" is the result of decades of "thought experiments" about the Nature of Everything. Essentially the goal was to explain All of Nature starting with a basic TENET (Nolan Rocks) and Rebuild the Laws of Nature starting with "First Principles" (Musk Rocks) to explain what we know as the Laws of Physics. In the end, Our Understanding of Nature Changes Everything! I will give you a glimpse into some of the basic tenets and the current conclusion. Proof and Rationale for the Conclusion will have to wait! QUESTION: What is the Fabric of the Universe and how does it explain the Principles of Nature? FINAL ANSWER: There is only one "field" (more like surface-less ocean) and only one "God Particle" (The Bożeon) ("God Particle" in Polish after the Polish-American Physicist who proposed the Bożeon) that flow within the "ocean" or "field", your choice. All other known "fields" and particles are made up of flows of Bożeons within this “Ocean”. You are made of it (Matter), and you are floating in it (Absolute Vacuum Space filled with Bożeons). BASIC TENETS: [1] ALL FORCES ARE LOCAL (all forces are caused by local collisions). [2] SPACE IS INVARIANT (you cannot bend space, you can only bend things within a space). [3] TIME IS INVARIANT (you cannot bend time, you can only bend things within a time). [4] YOU CANNOT BEND OR WARP SPACE OR TIME UNLESS YOU ARE "DR. STRANGE" OR "DR. WHO". [0] THERE ARE MORE, BUT THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW, DON'T YOU THINK! Obviously this means "RELATIVITY IS BUNK", but that proof, although well known now, will not be public till the paper is released. So Bożeons, what are they? Space is a complete empty vacuum filled with Bożeons. A Small Particle whose shape is unknown but speculated to be one of a suggested class of elongated tetrahedrons on the order of the Planck Length wide size wise. The Bożeon's geometric shape similar to the Helium-4 nucleus (but elongated and off center moment of inertia to explain "electric field polarization" - Bożeon Orientation). "Magnetic fields" are simply Bożeon Flows. Flows out of North into South on a Magnet. Photons are Bożeon flows that follow the Bose-Einstein Photon Momentum Wave Equation. One Central forward flowing vortex of Bożeon Flow and 4 Vortex Back Flows of Bożeons. And several smaller outer Flows. A Photon is λ Thick and 2 λ Wide. The internal structure of a Photon is made up of Bożeon Flows that satisfy both the Bose-Einstein Momentum Wave Function AND the Boson Wave Function. The volume of the Photon is directly proportional to it's wavelength. Yes Photons have a specific volume (im lookin at the Photon Volume function now folks). Photons ARE NOT singularities that experience no space or time! Period! Singularities Violate the BASIC TENETS OF NATURE! Electrons are similar to Photons in that they are Bożeon Flows but the summed momentum of all Bożeon flows do not allow it to travel at the speed of light. My favorite part about Bożeon Flows is it exactly explains gravity without magic. It explains Vacuum Energy (Zero Energy) is just Bożeons in a space with a density gradient toward the source, usually matter, which is also made of Bożeons. Coalescence. The collisions of the Bożeon Flow in Matter with the Polarized Bożeon Gradient in the "Vacuum" causes a net force in the direction of greater Bożeon density. THIS IS GRAVITY! A local collision of Bożeons in Free Space transferring momentum to other Bożeons in the Matter causing a net force and acceleration toward the greater Bożeon density. (Bożeon Collisions Are 100% elastic, no losses, conservation of energy). "Gravity" should be called "Coalescence" from now on! There are about ~20 physicists I have found that have the mathematical pieces of the puzzle ... and I plan to publish the paper in the next 2 years proving that ~~billions of Bożeons make up Photons and Electrons and All Particles and they Fill The Vacuum of Space (you guys call it Dark Energy). By end of next year not only will we show how Photon Bożeon Flows keep a Photon in motion but also why all the classical experiments like the single and double slit experiment are explained. Diffraction is caused by the momentum in the Particles Bożeon Flows being altered by the Bożeons in the side of the slit wall Matter as it impacts it. The change in the momentum of the Bożeon Flow within the Photon causes the change in direction and perfectly explains (math) the diffraction pattern to a 'T'. Einstein's Photon Clock Is a Lie. No one has ever explained a Photon Clock Correctly. Soon You Will See How Photon Clocks Actually Work (or Don't). No Warped Space Time. (Sorry Matt O'Dowd)(Matt O'Dowd Rocks Most), U 2 Joe!

I've gotta say: I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Not only because you bring people knowledge sometimes inaccessible "to the masses" (so to speak), but also because you do that through the most unique, life-changing, pleasant aspect of human existence called "humor". Through humor, you are able to "break the walls" of our defensiveness instincts and their attempts to hinder us from understanding and/or accepts new concepts, new information, "new everything" - this "defensiveness" is one of those tools inside our brains that makes us think, "Oh, this is too hard! I'll never get that!", just because the brain doesn't want to spend some invaluable calories (energy) with "things that are not intended to keep us alive". Anyway... too philosophical... but the point is that I mean it when I say you do an AMAZING job to everyone who stumbles across your channel and your content! And now... enough flattering! :) On the subject in question here, it is much, much easier to grasp when you have in mind - after digging really deep into it - some "older concepts" mainly from Eastern philosophy, or Eastern knowledge (no mattter how you want to call it). I'm not referring to those hippie-and-brought-to-the-public-by-The-Beatles stuff, but rather scriptures dealing extensively with almost scientific knowledge they wrote and unfortunately few of us have access to (I only came upon these writings because I studied Sanskrit and wasn't interested in mysticism and whatnot). In a nutshell, they say that the universe began with a sound particle, a frequency, if you like; and everything became visible/tangible (in other words, manifested itself) after this frequency was stirred up, causing "the first explosion" which made this "sound particle" expand and assume the form of "physical particles" called "Anu", or "atoms" (it is actually one of the most accurate translations for it, at least by the end of the 19th century, when the first Sanskrit-English Dictionary was published, and the beginning of the 20th century, when it was reviewed; "anu" indicates the smallest fraction of matter, so...). Afterwards, those "atoms" contracted and exploded over and over again, in a perpetual expansion/contraction movement - the "Creator's breathing", as they say - intertwined, permeated, and orchestrated by the primordial or original sound-particle/frequency. If you pay attention to the details, stripped of prejudice or judgment, and take into consideration the vocabulary and mindset they had at the time this was written (around 5000 years ago), you'll see that it pretty much describes the Big Bang Theory, String Theory, Quantum Mechanics, all in one. Of couse, maybe I couldn't make myself as understood as I wanted to, nor was capable of explaining how these concepts apply to the modern theories I just mentioned above (mostly because I tried to sum up thousands and thousands of old documents in a single paragraph), but I hope you get opened up to such new/old approaches and, at least, let yourself be bitten by the curiosity bug.

[@BTheBlindRef]

@@curtainbummings9381 The whole point of science is you don't "just believe". You found your beliefs on a preponderance of evidence. Theories are constantly tested and challenged. The problem with the "I don't just believe scientists" crowd is that they aren't willing to believe scientists NO MATTER WHAT. They have preconceived notions that they WANT to believe, and then manifest conspiracy theories and cherry pick data to convince themselves what they already wanted to think was correct. Any physicist working in this field will tell you straight out that they aren't SURE of string theory because it currently is an unproven theory. It mathematically works but hasn't had sufficient verified evidence to consider it proven as reflecting our actual reality yet (and even then, what "proved" means in science isn't "this is absolutely unquestionably true" but rather "this theory has been challenged and tested and held up to all evidence thus far"). So I have no idea how string theory makes it hard for you to believe scientists. If you have a simpler theory than string theory that accounts for what we see in quantum physics, you will be a very famous person if you would enlighten the rest of us. You point out "competition" as the reason you don't trust scientists, but that demonstrates you don't understand science. It is the competition that is the REASON you can generally trust scientific consensus. Any scientist could make their career and gain fame by discovering that a generally confirmed theory is actually wrong. Scientists set out to study and try to disprove assumed knowledge constantly. When hundreds or thousands of scientists have hammered on a theory for decades and NOT been able to undermine it despite their best efforts, you are the one that is not on firm ground when you remain questioning it, and you better have some kick-ass proof to back up your "all the scientists are wrong" theories.

String theory on its own: makes sense to me. Ant on a powerline to describe string theory: what is he talking about?

[@antonnym214]

When we have a theory, like Membrane theory or whatever, and we run up against a brick wall of something it doesn't or can't explain, then I start wondering if we're in a simulation and the creators of the simulation haven't extended the granularity of nature to answer the new questions.

[@mikejenn3589]

I never thought of it like that! Maybe they let us struggle a bit to see if we deserve to know the answer.

[@erittainvarma]

That would not really matter. If it's a simulation, we aren't stopping where the creators of the simulation left the granularity, we are going to go deeper and try to guess the how the code works by observing how the most basic thing our universe behaves when we stuff with it until we come up with a theory that matches our observations. This is how we have always done physics. There isn't need for creators to make answers to us.

I would have swore in my mother's name that you have covered String Theory prior. That Mandela....

Every time I fall asleep listening to your show. I wake up to professors lectures on advanced mathematical theories. I have been having dreams it is test day. At leadt I'm dressed!

The fourth dimensión has been discarded after the detection of the gravitational waves.. but the enveloped dimensions have not been discarded

[@enricocamarda9721]

the waves would have dispersed in that fourth dimension as well, but they did not..

[@i-evi-l]

@@enricocamarda9721 Not that we can readily detect I guess. Time is detectable via frame dragging, but I'm not sure how you'd detect frame dragging off of interferometers.

I believe finding the theory of everything will elude us. Its like figuring the picture when a third of the puzzle is done

[@MortyMortyMorty]

Joe, can you do a video about the Emergence Theory? It looks really promising to understand how the universe really works, and might help us create a theory of everything. Also it could explain why we might live in a simulation. Their maths and phisics are really great too. Check out their website, and their youtube channel: quantumgravityresearch.org/emergence-theory-overview kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWHdpZ9_dr6Hebc

[@nin469]

Yes please. Not enough attention paid to emergence theory.

[@hexramdass2644]

Emergence theory is a real thing but this group is a scam, Klee Irwin, their leader, in particular is known for selling 'cleanse' products and vitamin scams

He already did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKLYkKiMYsx8mbc

@@JerryWilliam63 damn no way, i probably watched it too just forgot it :D thanks

[@chrisaisthorpe6053]

Yeah, please do a vid on Emergence Theory ....it just seems like a theory that neatly explains everything

[@PhylastDK]

Just wanted to say that I have a very hyper 11-month old and, despite what he is doing when i turn on one of your videos, he'll go plop down in front of the tv and watch your whole video. I know he doesn't understand anything you are saying, its just wild watching him try to.
