little bit more deep in another video. Please

At 2:09 if i heard correctly.....more wavelength means more energy is misleading.... small wavelength means high frequency hence high energy..... should be other way round.
More wavelength is less energy....Thank you

Yes. But, how they vibrate and each of those 10 dimensions are defined wasn't explained. Makes me question more and more. Is it really just a working theory or could it potentially be real but we just haven't measured anything into those dimensions to prove anything? Maybe I should learn physics it's way more interesting than what's being taught in high school. I suppose it would take a very long video to explain them all but it is indeed a good introductory video.
i guess kurzgesagt is just trying to make the video as compact and understandable as possible, and explaining further may overwhelm some people. Yes, i do think physics is very interesting, though, i do need to warn you that it only looks cool from the outside, the visualization of concepts and theories. But to actually comprehend the theories itself, you need to do extensive extreme hard works with studies, and have to be proficient in maths & calculus. Keep in mind that, even geniuses like Einstein, bohr, oppenheimer (all of them supposedly have an iq of 170+) are still boggled with some of the general theories of quantum physics...

Its fascinating as to how such calculations are even carried out. And to think universe has so much depth which keeps on increasing the more it's explored. I really like how Kurzegesagt takes complex topics and simplifies it; the use of analogies may not be as accurate still make it even easier to understand.
Thank you!

Well I always wonder what are the fields made off in the stantard model...

Holy crap, you just explained one of the most complicated subjects out there in 8 minutes like it's nothing. Wow, major props.
I`ve never felt this stupid
why is this so true
In short: if you can't figure something out, make something up and then tell everyone you're smarter than them.
At least you're here, learning and taking an interest - a large percentage of the world refuse to even do that, because exploration of knowledge threatens their superstitious and antiquated beliefs.
This is like the socratic method. You hear things you don't understand and feel idiotic. But this makes you want to learn

@Kurzgesagt I don't comment on your videos enough, but your channel has been a significant influence in my life. I'm very grateful for everything the team does
Gravity isnt actualy a force thats why it is different to other forces. The only reason we treat it as a force is because its observable effect is simmilar to one. I love your visualisations of such stuff so much, you managed to explain it beeing geometry crystal clear in seconds. Hats off

“We thought we reached the end of reality, until we decided to smash them together really hard”
-physics history
How the hell they can do something which might not even be possible for example different dimentions. Answer me physics
By observing these discoveries i think that we should rather marry gravity with the forces and dimensions. But gravity should not work between the disk of black hole it should be a loop of space time under a mysterious force . Plz consider reading it
Hm light our eye absorb it and make it to our brain to what we see maybe the black hole is an eye to that in the other side i absorbing it and like making it the mirror of the Universe?
@@catnpuss8428 very different things , you can't compare black holes to eyes just because they both absorb light (both work differently and have huge gap in properties)
@@catnpuss8428 Black hole absorb the light, and never came out. but eyes instead of absorbing it, we reflect it
For those of you still confused, here is an elementary breakdown of String Theory and what was said in the video. It’s a little lengthy but I guarantee you’ll be able to understand it (Or at least I hope)
Once upon a time we thought the smallest, most fundamental thing that makes up everything, was the atom. We now know that you can get smaller (and more fundamental if you will) than that.
It turns out that the atom is made up of 3 particles: Proton, Neutron, and the electron. For awhile, we thought that was as small as you could go. But we now know that the Proton and Neutron are made up of smaller particles called Quarks (we’re pretty sure that the electron is fundamental and nothing makes up the Electron other than energy…
So now we ask ourselves, what is more fundamental than a Quark? What is smaller? In other words, what makes a Quark? Is it another particle that’s even smaller? We don’t know. This is where String Theory comes in.
String Theory suggests that it does get smaller. The tiniest, most fundamental building blocks of matter and the universe are tiny strings. Little filaments of energy that vibrate and dance around (as seen at 5:01). And every fundamental sub atomic particle in the universe was made by these vibrating strings. If a string vibrates this way, then an electron is made. If it vibrates another way, then a Quark is made. If it vibrates in another way, then a neutrino pops out… so on and so on
It also turns out that the math behind String Theory tells us that our Universe has 10 dimensions instead of just the 4 that we know. 9 spatial dimensions and 1 temporal dimension (AKA time). When these strings vibrate, they aren’t just vibrating in our 3 dimensions (up/down, left/right, forward/backward). Instead they are vibrating in 9 different dimensions. I dare not try to explain this further
SIDE NOTE: There seems to be confusion as to whether String Theory suggests that there are 10 or 11 dimensions. It depends on if you are talking about “classic” String Theory or a similar version of String Theory called “M-Theory” One of them typically states 10, the other 11. It also depends on the source you look at. Some sources use those two theories interchangeably. It’s all kinda confusing
To also add one more thing that is very important….
The thing scientists are most interested about concerning String Theory is less of anything I mentioned above but instead something called “Quantum Gravity”
Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity is extremely accurate and has been one of the most useful tools for understanding the universe around us. But it only answers problems for all the large scale things in the universe: Gravity, Black Holes, Time, Light etc…
The other side of the coin is Quantum Mechanics. Which deals with all of the smallest things in the universe: Atoms, subatomic particles, a whole bunch of other behaviors and phenomena at very tiny scales, etc…
Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the two most accurate and all-encompassing branches of science known to Man. However, they don’t work together. Quantum Mechanics doesn’t work with large scale stuff and Relativity doesn’t work at Quantum levels. So you might think that one of them obviously has to be wrong then. But they aren’t. Again, there is no problem scientists have ever thrown at these two fields that doesn’t get solved, except when you try to marry the two together. Bringing the two together successfully is something called “Quantum Gravity”. If we can figure out Quantum Gravity, that will probably be the biggest discovery ever made in history. At least one of them. It would help us solve everything (loosely speaking). There is nothing more mouth-watering to scientists than Quantum Gravity.
It just so happens that if String Theory is true and we can figure it out, it would solve for this Quantum Gravity problem. That’s mostly why String Theory is so enticing to scientists. More so than the other cool stuff I mentioned a bit earlier. It would win whoever figured it out a lifetime of Nobel Prizes! (I’m being a bit dramatic of course, but you get the idea! lol)
Keep in mind, when ST was first proposed, scientists were watering at the mouth. But even to this day there is no real proof/evidence that these Strings exist. And because of that, ST is kinda becoming a joke. Day by day, ST is taken less seriously than before and a lot of physicists (like Brian Green) essentially get told to move on and forget it (roughly speaking). Other than some fancy mathematics, there hasn’t really been anything to show us that it is real
EDIT: I keep adding on to this. Hopefully this is the last addition. String Theory is also known as “The Theory of Everything” for obvious reasons. Also, earlier I mentioned that Quarks are the smallest particles that we know of. But I kinda made it sound like there was only one type of Quark. Let me clarify and mention that there are 6 types of Quarks that exist in the universe: Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Strange, and Charm Quarks
Protons are made out of two types: 2x Up Quarks and 1x Down Quark
Neutrons are the opposite: 2x Down Quarks and 1x Up Quark
EDIT AGAIN: Earlier I said that the electron is essentially just made up of energy. To clarify, more accurately speaking, it’s a negative electrical charge that exists as a cloud of probability in certain orbitals around the nucleus. Ya it’s kinda confusing. The Bohr model of the electron was that the electron was a point particle that orbited the nucleus in discreet orbital shells. This is the classical simplified model that we’ve all learned in school. Quantum mechanics gave us a more accurate understanding that tells us that model is inaccurate and it instead works the confusing way I explained a few sentences ago. The point is that no one has ever seen an electron and we are pretty sure nothing smaller makes up one
EDIT AGAIN: There’s a few other juicy answers I gave down in the replies when someone asked me a follow up question… if you’re interested
NOTE: If you need clarification on what I meant by….
“However, they don’t work together. Quantum Mechanics doesn’t work with large scale stuff and Relativity doesn’t work at Quantum levels…”
Feel free to ask and I’ll be sure to elaborate!

@@youssefzakaria2111 WHY AND HOW E=MC2 IS F=MA, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY:
Time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity, as E=mc2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. Ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.
OVERLAY what is THE EYE in BALANCED RELATION to/WITH what is THE EARTH. Notice the black space of THE EYE. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. THE DOME of a person's EYE is ALSO VISIBLE. Now, carefully consider what is the semi-spherical, translucent, QUANTUM GRAVITATIONAL, AND BLUE SKY. Great. E=mc2 IS F=ma. It is CLEAR.
Time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves (ON BALANCE) that E=mc2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. A PHOTON may be placed at the center of what is THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light; as E=mc2 IS F=ma; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The EARTH and the Sun constitute and comprise the MIDDLE AND THE FULL DISTANCE in/of SPACE (IN BALANCE) in full and BALANCED compliance and conformity with the CLEAR and universal fact that E=mc2 IS F=ma, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Great !!!!!! Hence, it is CLEARLY proven, in fact, that the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON NECESSARILY matches it's revolution. Great. Obviously, what is THE MOON is subject to and constitutive of both E=mc2 AND F=ma. E=mc2 IS CLEARLY proven to be F=ma. "Mass"/energy involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. This CLEARLY explains why objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. THE EARTH is ALSO F=ma AS E=mc2. The Sun is both F=ma AND E=mc2. The BLUE SKY is E=mc2 AND F=ma. What is THE MOON is NECESSARILY F=ma AS E=mc2. THINK. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. (BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand.) VERY IMPORTANTLY, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. Great !!! INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. The INTEGRATED EXTENSIVENESS of THOUGHT (AND description) is improved in the truly superior mind. (THOUGHTS ARE INVISIBLE.) GREAT.
THE DOME of a person's EYE is ALSO VISIBLE. The balance of being AND EXPERIENCE is essential. The EARTH is ALSO BLUE (as water). Alas, the ULTIMATE unification of physics/physical experience combines, BALANCES, AND INCLUDES opposites; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy.

The more our circle of knowledge expands, the bigger the circumference of ignorance surrounding it gets.
Luckily, our circumference area to volume ratio goes down in this example though
Very well said... The level of complexity increases as we go deeper
Thats deeper than the last potatochip in the corner of the bag.

All of your videos are beyond awesome🙌 thank your entire team for making difficult concepts understandable and science interesting
2:15 that's the observer effect, not the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The uncertainty principle is a fundamental limit to how accurately we can know the physical properties of a particle, unrelated to the instruments used.
Breaking bad refrence
The universe are things. I called this the things theory.
Virgin string theory VS chad thing theory
Who would win:
200 sciency-nerdy people with years of experience in investigation of the universe / 1 random Chad with a nice haircut and cute girlfriend
Nicolas S. This is a tough battle. But ultimately Chad uses Tai Lopez Jutsu to use his dad’s money to buy himself a Lamborghini and a house in the Hollywood hills thus dubbing him with infinite KNOWledge, a nice hair cut, and the cute girlfriend. A hard fought battle indeed.

The quality and subject matter of Kurzgesagt cannot be overstated. 👏
I agree 100%.
I think there is no such a 200%
Percentages can change based on the observer
Asterverse "per cent" meaning "for a hundred"
Asterverse, by correcting my grammar, you are such a intelligent individual walk on earth
New discoveries, observations, and theories can make such a difference. The symmetron theory for instance may imply these other dimensions exist (along with dark matter/energy) and we simply lack the means or scale to interact with them. like there could be a dimensions groupings with a few overlapping. Things always get more complex with more parts the longer we look.
true
"Kurzjesjgagshakngt" never fails to deliver good content.
I like playing with String Theory.

5:42 VERY lovely showcase of existential birds for each dimension 😍
Wonderful video with wonderful graphics and humor , thanks for posting and simplifying a complicated but fascinating matter...
For anyone who wishes to go further, I would advise Brian Greene's book "The elegant universe", a beautiful account about string theory!
I was looking for this! Many thanks
thanks
Thank you
Thanks mate

What if when you died, you wake up in an alien body holding a bong and a nearby figure asks you "How was it?"
That means a lot to me, you definitely are an IQ 145+.
I don't know why, but i'm thinking about that for a few days
such an underrated comment.
or a robot just just closed one of its tab.
Or you come out of a VR booth in an alien mall
ive watched so many Kurzgesagt videos today, like over 20 of them, I cant stopppp. Steves voice is just too nice to listen to

90% of the comments here:
"i am something of a scientist
myself"
lol
an exchange of ideas is not a bad thing, specially when the other idea is proven to be false.
5% of the comments here:
"I am something of a statistician myself"
Well, I study mathematics and I can confidently say that 2+2=4 is true for most cases and your statistic is questionable.

gotta love the squishy disturbing sound effect at 1:31 when the photons penetrate the eye like an arrow 😂

"A line; or a string!"
*Draws a circle*
Circle is a string. It only has a length.
@@fhisaldsfulda3241 No, 2d ''circle'' has those. 1d''circle doesnt, aka string. (My language has two different words for it, yours dont i guess, look up ''Çember'' for 1d circle, and ''Daire'' for 2d circle, you will understand)
Lol
@MrNúmero98 1 dimension
@MrNúmero98 a line is one dimensional
Rewatching this and only now noticed the fleshly sound playing when the photon hits the eyeball. Whoever put that in, you've successfully made me wince 😭
the stylized animation in these vids is superb!
Now imagine after 50 years the solution came out to be "Knot".
u have a mind like penny's and sheldon's....
Lol the depictions of branes (the object replacing the point particle with a higher dimensional string equivalent) often look like cool knots when depicted in 3D shadow representations. I don't know if our intuitions about the knotiness of the branes' shadow in 3 dimensions carry over into the true geometry of the higher dimensional shapes though.
It can’t be a knot
After studying some it can’t be a knot

when you describe things this muchhh goood, it helps people like me to imagine the problem and come up with a solution ! ( maybe someone could solve the problem , at least in his/her imagination untill he/she becomes a scientist :) ) .
Point theory: What's more complicated than a point? A String!
String theory: What's more complicated than a string? A Circle!
Circle theory: What's more complicated than a circle? A Triangle!
Triangle Theory: What's more complicated than a triangle? A Square!
So on and so on, until the shape becomes a circle again.. and what is a circle when zoomed out? A point....
