      Interesting, how people interpret things absolutely differently. I for example, find solace in the total opposite, not in the vagueness of it all but in the absoluteness of the last consequence in the universe: the big rip.
      Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I feel a deep sense of calm and contentment in the imagination, that hopefully one day, everything will come to an halt, no interaction with any subatomic particle will occur and finally there will be eternal quiet.

    I was trained in experimental physics so I take a more pragmatic view of String Theory - it's fun to discuss over coffee and donuts but until there is a testable prediction it's just a story we tell ourselves about why the world is as it is. Plus, I'm not completely convinced there has to be a robust theory of everything - the universe has such a massive range of scales from the infinitesimal to the infinite it's hard to model anything that can stay relevant throughout it. Just my take... still, cheers and looking forward to more on your thoughts on this topic (and others) ☕️🍩😋✌️

      > I'm not completely convinced there has to be a robust theory of everything
      There does have to be one. Every pattern can be described if we have enough information about it, even pure randomness (through statistical methods). The question is whether its one we mere mortals will ever be able to decipher the pattern and translate it into a mathematical language that we can understand and teach to future generations.
      > the universe has such a massive range of scales
      That's actually not a problem. We use laddering to deal with that - for example we (mostly) only consider the electron shells when dealing with chemistry rather than the full quantum mechanical nature of atoms, and we use fluid dynamics to describe liquids and gases rather than tracing out the state of each molecule, etc. As long as we have a regime where a "small" and a "large" theory overlap, we can say with fairly high confidence that we can continue on with the "large" theory at larger scales and the "small" theory at smaller scales. Nobody is going to be building a bridge by computing the quantum interactions of every single iron atom.
      The problem with a theory of everything - any theory of everything - is that the top of our ladder (the theories) is currently way, way higher than we're currently able to climb (the experiments). IIRC the scale we'd need to hit is something like a million times more power than the LHC can produce. Absolutely absurd energy levels. But we know those energy levels exist - we can see them in black holes and magnetars and other massive cosmological objects, and scientists are certainly trying to collect as much information from those objects as they can in hopes that something will lead to a new theory. We don't exactly get to control a black hole the way we can control the LHC though, so we're stuck just waiting on luck to lead the way and give us an appropriately interesting observation. That could be a long wait (but perhaps not as long as waiting to build a 10^6x larger ring collider!)
      Back here on Earth the only real hope is that someone finds a way to generate extremely high energy outputs with a significantly lower energy input than our current linear or ring colliders can manage. If we ever do find a true room-temperature superconductor for example we'll be able to get a lot closer very quickly as much of the energy input on current accelerators is the cryogenics required to maintain superconductivity in the magnets. I'm not sure that alone would get us all the way to a 10^6 boost but it would likely be a good order or two of magnitude closer. (Of course no one knows yet if such a thing is even possible - there's certainly a lot of hope still as the recent LK-99 fiasco showed - but hype alone is certainly no proof.)

      @@captainwatson Trouble is, "I think" doesn't lead to testable predictions (and usually doesn't even cover the data we've already collected from the couple centuries of experiments we've already done).
      Everybody has a thought on the matter (or two or three or ten), myself included. Few people put enough effort into their thoughts to convert them from random musings into actual scientific hypotheses. Fewer still have the ability (or simply funding) to test their hypotheses with real experiments.
      And at the end of the day, the experiments are what really matter - to paraphrase Neil deGrasse Tyson: Nature is under no obligation to make sense to us. Its certainly convenient when it does, but that rarely occurs when we're dealing with scales far outside human experience so we can't rely solely on intuition - we have to prove to ourselves (and to others) that our intuition is actually correct. And be willing to discard our intuition should the experiments prove us wrong.

      @@altragI don’t agree. A researcher friend of mine who studies quantum physics told me a very funny analogy. Think of the universe like a video game, where the trees and backgrounds in sections of the map that the player cannot enter are visible but if the player were to somehow reach those background locations it would be rendered poorly because the game makers did not expect the player to ever get there. This is exactly how God made the universe - it has some inherent ‘contradiction’ baked into its very existence such that when you reach the quantum level you find that God was too lazy to ‘render’ things because he thought humans were too stupid to reach that level. That’s the essence of quantum probability. Even though this is obviously a humorous analogy, I think there’s a deep truth to accepting that contradiction is inherent and maybe even necessary for the existence itself of our universe. To make you think, consider how everything (logically) must have a cause and effect - what is the cause of all causes then? I’d say this is the fundamental contradiction of existence itself from a philosophical standpoint, and it is the starting point for belief in God (or whatever you wanna call it, just know some of the greatest scientists of all mankind understood that science cannot and will never explain everything not because of human limitations but because God himself made the universe incomplete)

      @@aumi5958 > Think of the universe like
      You're already doing it wrong. One of the big "problems" with quantum mechanics is that it doesn't work "like" anything we've ever experienced on a human scale. We can analogize all we want but every analogy will break down because there simply is nothing truly analogous in anything we can experience. That's why the math is so important when coming up with theories - human brains just don't have the capability to "I think" our way to the answer.
      (Heck even things we can experience we do pretty poorly on with "I think", historically speaking. Look at any number of theories of the universe or biology or basically anything other than pure geometry from the ancient Greek world where they believed experimentation was beneath them and reason alone could answer the questions of the universe.)
      > This is exactly how God made the universe
      You can't understand quantum mechanics, but you understand how God made the universe? That's an impressive gap.
      > God was too lazy
      I don't have a witty response. Roasting God requires none.
      > That’s the essence of quantum probability.
      Its really not. Even if you want to go with a creator theory, the creator is also under no obligation to make sense to you. What makes you believe that God is just as bad at probability than we are? Perhaps He didn't design it that way out of laziness, but because He understands something about it that you simply don't?
      > consider how everything (logically) must have a cause and effect
      Why? Who says that has to be true? It certainly appears to be true, but that is not the same as saying it must be true. One can absolutely imagine universes where this is not the case (and there is lots of sci-fi doing exactly that). If we mere mortals can imagine it there's no reason to believe God couldn't have created it and just decided not to.
      > what is the cause of all causes then?
      Who knows. But not knowing something doesn't mean its not knowable with enough investigation. And not knowable also doesn't mean not true. Whether you believe in one of the myriad creation stories various cultures and religions have invented over the millennia, or you believe one of the various creation stories physics has cooked up over the past century, there are only two options: Either _something_ was the cause of all causes, or the universe is truly infinite in time (and maybe space).
      We have no way of knowing which of those generalizations is true, never mind which specific cause (in the first case) is true. But there is no third option so it must be one of those. We certainly have theories that we prefer to believe for various philosophical reasons, but philosophy is not physics. Believing in something is not the same as proving it.
      > some of the greatest scientists of all mankind understood
      Less than everything. Nobody has perfect knowledge of all subjects. See all the physicists and geologists making absolutely idiotic claims about biology and medicine during covid. And even if they somehow had perfect knowledge of every field, that still doesn't tell us anything because no field of study - religious, philosophical or scientific - has the answer yet, so perfect knowledge of all of those things still doesn't provide it and not even the greatest, smartest person in all of history can know something they don't know.
      "Yet" is an extremely important qualifier though. We may find a theory of everything tomorrow. We may find it 1000 years from now. We may never find it. The only thing we can say for sure is that we haven't found it yet.

    As a retired Respiratory Therapist i have always thought that pressure differentials are the key to every thing. Take the vibrating strings of string theroy each vibration, yes creates a frequency, but it must also create a pressure diffrence simply by the vibration. Change the temperature, pressure, or volume and you change everything withen the system. The more you change the vibration by say increasing the vibration of the string you increase the temperature which also changes the frequency. And so on as you change any one of the variables.
    Just a thought.

    While I have my own interpretation of the Universe, it is just that - an interpretation of what is being observed, how it may work. To make a new theory, a new and measurable prediction should be made, one that contradicts existing theories' predictions. And that's the hard part - we've explained away as much as we can observe (so far). So... that's that part I'm looking forward to

Rather like we give particles properties like 'spin' or 'colour'. They have nothing to do with spin or colour in the macro verse but help us to describe properties that we test and predict.

    I not a scienctist , rather a creative thinker. I love to write stories from the things I have learnt, both about natural science and social sci. and illustrate them in text books. And it's insane, the fact that I have came to a similar conclusion/theory of how the universe functions. I recently (just a couple of days ago - no joke), think about a sort hyper-realistic field, in which a singular confriguration exists. There are 3 things exist in that con. A medium, that acts as a fluctuative dimension, which can change it's extermities from axis 0 to higher dimensional axis. (Or in our world, a 3 dimensional -xyz axis). A fluctuative-patterned loop that act like manifestation of the energy within, and this is the thing that determine what came to be according to it's output stage. And of course, the (I just call it), the clouds of energy, from which matters is converted. And in my story, the arrival of a 4th element into the equation (I call it the Canvas), a space time field, onto which the previous 3 can emanate their existence, in forms of forces, photons and all matter. I take inspiration from (don't shout at me Ok?) from the old texts of the Bibles. In it, God is depicted as 3 rings tangled together, surrouded by the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and the Throne. When added my own knowledge in natural science (I was a Science Major Stu. btw), I was like: WHAT IF, The Seraphims (the firey angel), is a creative, symbolic parabel of energy? The Cherubim, (the 4 headed angel), is a repentation of dimensions, and the Thrones (the wheel thingyies, I don't know man) is the state of movement of God (aka. The loops). I literally have just written that down a week ago, for my new fantasy world build project. I have so many ideas, and I was shocked, amazed and was over the top, when I watched the videos about Quantum Physics through the week, as many of my concepts are actual-based science. Well, I know it's just an imaginative/creative interpretation of myself. But I'm so innovated in writing the complete stories now. ^^

You're so desperate for God to be real, that when things are again and again proven to have nothing to do with God, you start seeking gaps where God *could* be. That's not logical, that's incredibly soufght after and wishful thinking.
      What I said about science and archeology remains true.

    Regarding mass being a different "direction" of travel, I would suggest the term "mode" of travel, in the same way that angular momentum is a different "mode" of momentum from linear momentum. Rotation and precession could be thought of as analogs for some of the characteristics of massive particles, a way of storing part of their momentum cyclically in a relatively fixed location.

    • @eclectichoosier5474
      @eclectichoosier5474 Před 5 měsíci +2

      Mass and time are both dimensions. A velocity (or vector) change in one dimension changes the values of the others. That's why velocity in time changes when things have a high velocity in our familiar three dimensions or are very massive. It's also why our three dimensions change their shape around massive objects. It's all described in Einstein's math. Even earlier, Lorentz described how high speed in one dimension changes that dimension's shape. Einstein went on to explain that mass changes in that case, as well. Lorentz's work showed that even our most familiar three dimensions are affected by motion, although they act a little weird in that only the traveled dimension seems to be changed, (at least in one respect,) and not the perpendicular ones.
      It may be possible that extra dimensions are responsible for entanglement - that idea would be strengthened if we can prove that it is possible to force a particular state on one half of an entangled pair. I haven't studied that branch of science. But it would eliminate the "spooky action at a distance" argument.
      Angular momentum is linear momentum being acted upon by tension from a central point. That is why it can easily be converted from one to the other.

  • @sharkysharkerson

    I like what I see so far. Interested in seeing where you take it. I think when people talk about dimensions and directions, it makes everyone consider the underlying oscillations spatially ... even though we have trouble visualizing higher than 3 dimensions spatially. Maybe its easier to just think of them as additional properties whose values can oscillate independently of the other properties.

      Hello, first of all I am not a physicist but I would like to give a try on the interpretation of c^2. Let's start from distance (m), then we have velocity (m/s), then we have acceleration of an object in one dimension (m/s^2). Now we may be stuck but... an area is in m^2 units. Is it something like it's an acceleration of an area (m^2/s^2)? Quite an abstract concept, but maybe not that stupid...?
      I'd also like to add that E=mc^2 is just a simplification of a more general equation. Because if photon has no mass, it couldn't have energy, but it does! And that source of its energy is momentum. If I'm not wrong, the full equation is: E=sqrt(p^2m^2+m^2c^4)

    In stead of strings, why not bubbles. You did say " we cant see these strings, they are so small they look like points to us" a single " so small" bubble might just look like a point. A bubble can form waves when vibrated, they are spherical, so that should account for all dimensions, (or at least as far as I can think) and when bunched together you get so many other shapes that can push in so many other directions.

    General relativity and quantum mechanics will never be combined until we realize that they take place at different moments in time. Because causality has a speed limit (c) every point in space where you observe it from will be the closest to the present moment. When we look out into the universe, we see the past which is made of particles (GR). When we try to look at smaller and smaller sizes and distances, we are actually looking closer and closer to the present moment (QM). The wave property of particles appears when we start looking into the future of that particle. It is a probability wave because the future is probabilistic. Wave function collapse happens when we bring a particle into the present/past. GR is making measurements in the predictable past. QM is trying to make measurements of the probabilistic future.

    Having not delved into string theory itself, superficially, it seems like a simplistic way of modeling reality rather than being reality in itself. Like modeling the attractive force of two magnets, their fields are actually interacting in 3d space, but it simpler to draw a vector and a single force to describe it.
