String theory is a very complex mathematical concept involving 11 dimensions that will melt your mind if you think too hard about it. Let's try to break it up and make sense of what some people believe is the theory of everything.

Just wait until they start talking about Silly String Theory. That's when the party will really start.
As long as it doesn't degenerate into toilet roll tossing... otherwise, I'll have to go back to my old professor's house and 'loo roll' it!
Good one!
Lmao, god damn it I love you for that joke xD
Lmao! Bravo!
Omg I love it😂
I love those Joe moments of awkward introspection ...
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.
you mean to say that it can be just like library of babel?
Preach it brother
Wow
So the string theory is a theory... got it, dick
Ok, I'll take two of those please
"Best I can do without having a stroke."
Best one liner of 2020.
I've had strokes. And I have a PhD in physics. They don't really help in the long run.
I love having a good stroke. nothing quite like your own hand.
"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!

Was checking for this very comment
@@linksfood the second option seems like a great time waster 😍 that, I want that 🎆
@@Asamitaka That's what I did. It's soul crushing. Fun, but soul crushing.
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.
I really wish this made it easier, but now I'm confused by blankets.
I love 😘💕 how you put this.

So basically the “we live in a computer simulation” theory is actually simpler and more plausible than string theory.
With more testable hypotheses as well.
Noting to say they both can't be correct. The programmers of our simulation, may have used string theory's multiple compactified dimensions, to design our universe. Also, the original universe may be string theory based.
@@SolaAesir how does one go about testing simulation theory??
@@relativeus That was the point, you really can't, but you also can't falsify string theory. The closest you could come for simulation theory would be to find a subset of the universe's physics that is extremely computationally expensive rather than appearing optimized for computation like most of quantum mechanics seems to be.
They are not excludent.
Excellent video Joe - String theory is a very complex topic and you have simplified so many concepts so well !!!
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.
Hey Joe, I think this is your best video so far. Aside from the great content, the editing, summarizing along the way, and all the clips/puns/sketches were spot on!
keep up like this!
Agree, this was a really sharp piece of work, on a most difficult subject. Kudos to the scientific consultants and to Joe for paying attention to them.
died of laughter when you said "quarks" and showed a picture of Quark from DS9 lol.
Would've preferred Quark from Ratchet and Clank, but this works, too.
i am watching ds9 for a 10th time and my reaction is exactly the same as u :D
Here's hoping they name the next discovered fundamental particle a 'garak'.
Hoomans...
Ahh looking for this
Joe, this video genuinely helped me with my understanding of the topic. It crystalized a lot if ideas about string theory I had heard over the years but was never able to fully grasp. Not that I'm an expert now, but, as a lay person, this video was helpful! So dont beat yourself up if you dont understand it 100%, you're still helping us out here who want to learn, as well.
This video is 3 years old but I'm compelled, still, to comment on your fortitude and perseverance in learning about this theory so well that you can teach it. Because, to be honest, I haven't had that fortitude,perseverance-nor the time. I've felt ignorant and guilty in knowing I have gap in a big area of science despite being a natural scientist. But no more! Thanks, Joe, as always.
Good job Joe!! String theory is at the top of the food chain when it comes to physics, and you covered it very well. I was suprised how well in fact. I watched a course by a professor on String theory some time ago, and your presentation looked mature, fun, to the point, almost like being explained this theory by a friend in a night out with friends. It goes to show you're not a begginer at this job, you have experience. A+
Well, it's the best description of String Theory I've heard. Still don't understand it though.
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
Sin Bad this was helpful! still hard to grasp but appreciated
Sinn Sage Glad to at least be of a little help lol
Sinn Sage And it confuses the hell out of me too
The point you make about people not understanding what the plague actually was and why people were dying from it is something that I never really thought about before. It must have been incredibly frightening for people back then, seeing their friends and family dying and not being able to do anything to help them.
The E8 Theory is really good! It explains all of the elements we have found and a few we haven't found and it looks like the flower of life on paper so it seems to be pretty awesome to me if not probable.
Joe: who here remembers..
Me: Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes.
...Wot? [checks shoe] 7 and a half.
Phew! I was worried that I was the only one! Lol.
Wait.... your still here? Go home! Go... go on!
yep. old fart reporting in.
6:54 love the fact that you used that meme with Nazaré and the crazy math going in her head, made me love your channel even more.
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.
Kind regards from Brazil!
That is probably the most entertaining explanation video I have watched, and it actually did provide clarification.
The pic of Quark made my day!
I would love to see Joe do a deep dive on Einsteins time at the patent office!
His tenure there is often downplayed in his storied life but he had 24/7 access to all the latest patents in physics, mathematics, invention,etc, etc .
It seems like it gave him an intellectual advantage.
That is a very good point!
you will be branded anti semitic
Not 24/7 that implies he was spending 100%of his time at the office where it was in reality maybe 10 hours a day,that and he was a teenager still when he originally came up with special relativity, so while it may seem like he was getting an advantage,man was incredibly smart far before the patent office
Dr. Michio Kaku explains(correct me if I'm wrong), strings (theory) vibrates like musical notes, he explains it in a way and it's so soothing to listen to. Could've wished his my physics professor long ago.
Great video. Thanks. I've always been puzzled with this problem of Einstein gravitation versus graviton. I would love that you'd try to lighten us up about this strange dualism.
Joe: today we will talk about string theory
My brain: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

5:21, Joe mixed Glueons as force carriers of the Weak Force and Bosons for the Strong Force; is the other way around, "BUTT" I believe he was testing us ;)
Very true
Gluons "glue" the quarks in protons and neutrons together (strong nuclear), W and Z bosons create particle decay (weak nuclear). So no, he was correct.
He associated gluons with the weak force, so, no, he wasn't. But whatever, good video but nothing's perfect

WHY DIDNT I SIGN UP A LONG TIME AGO!? the library is amazing and exactly what I love to watch, now I have my work day filled up and a lot of videos to watch, I am soooo excited for this new app I cannot even explain how much I love this stuff and so many different topics and videos! First choice is the living universe! Next is Brian’s Greene on quantum history! Happy 4th to all! 🇺🇸
I not only got the Ferris Bueller quip but I actually met Ben Stein once. A very polite and incredibly smart gentleman.
If string theory is real, that means the creation myth in Tolkien's "Silmarillion" is scientifically more accurate than Genesis in the "Bible".
Genesis is accurate assuming the serpent is right. czcams.com/video/A_a6RjR_AHY/video.html
My god i thought I was the only one who thought this lol

@Heyward Shepherd Me... I did.
@Heyward Shepherd yup good question, my boy 👏🏾👏🏾
Posted 24sc ago. Comments from 3 days ago.... 🙉💥mind blown.
STRING THEORY! Dunununun 😎 lol.
Patreon users view them first and get to comment before everyone else. So there, mind intact once again 👍😎😀
More to the point, you did one of the most admirable jobs of collecting and blending the historical structures that we are inhabiting now and I am intrigued. Thank you.
I so enjoy you :) keep up the great work.
I remember dialing rotary phones (look it up.) I remember when there were only 9 planets - one named after a cartoon dog. It's gone now. Bueller? OH YEAH!
I even remember when the instruments themselves belonged to the telephone company - and were wired directly into the wall. Remember seven digit dialing - with exchanges like 'Orchard' and 'Sunset'? Good times!
I remember having to go to the phone company office in town to pay my phone bill or dispute charges.
@@demongo2007 My Mum was an operator, and spent her day making manual connections between caller and receiver through exchanges.
I learned how to bend the contacts on relays used in 100 year old - even then - Strowger switching telephone exchange systems. ( and clean the contacts, and put the cables in the road ).

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).

I had no idea Intuitive Mathematics existed! I'll have to do some heavy reading into this since the perspective and interpretation you shared about maths from that field has for a long time been a perspective I've pondered as an alternative to traditional maths. This is very interesting! :)
1:26 I liked that you brought Quark into this
Definitely want a tier list of Joe's favorite physicist exchanges of all time now! I didn't know there was a hierarchy!
I love watching these videos I haven't a clue it's well over my head but still very enjoyable.
7:05 with Careless Whisper had me absolutely dying laughing
That was plain brilliant.
Hey Joe, love your videos! Have you by chance explored the "Electric Universe Theory", or the "Thunderbolts Project"? I think you would dig it, and it might inform some of your other videos.
Please
Hey Joe, absolutely love the channel. Quick question, have you ever covered quantum computers on the channel?
Some of these jokes Joe makes sometimes make me feel like I'm weird for watching his videos at age 23.
Keep it up Joe!
The force is strong with this young one
Do you mean because xou are too young or too old?
@@trafalgard.waterlaw4261 too young for the pre 90's references!
@@TheKotaCan i dont get most of them either, i was two years to late to be a 90's baby
Don't worry, in 20 years you will be one of the guys who understands all the references made to something they called the CZcams.
Ohhh yes!! I’ve been waiting for an M-theory video!!! I was obsessed with this stuff when I was like 19. There’s this video called “how to imagine 11 dimensions” that’s pretty interesting, and helps a bit.
But yeah, great work as always, Joe. Your summarizations are spot on minus a few minor details. String theory will always impress me, and I can’t wait to hear the next big new theory!
I still like to meditate and try to imagine higher dimensions :p
Is that the black and white animated one? Loved that one
Totally made my day to hear my name at the end of the video. Extra happy it was the string theory episode. Thanks Joe, always a pleasure to watch.
Great research! Great teaching algorithm!
Much appreciated!👍
Time before cellphones? Yes I remember it well, attempting to trick a payphone to give me free call time when I was low on even small change. Those were the days!
You... you phreak!! 😀
@@ssatva people around here won't even know that phreaking was an actual thing or have any conception of how that would even work
I remember reading about phreaking and black boxes and all that tech mischief in the Anarchist's Cookbook back in the 90's, it's probably one of the first things I downloaded, that and Nirvana midi files. Though it was OK to read the book back then, you wouldn't get arrested for terrorism like you would now.
My best guess is that some decades from now, "String Theory" will be an embarrassment to the physics community - a big waste of time that also pushed some people to suggest that the whole testability thing in science is overrated and why can't we all have prizes for pretty ideas without any basis in reality?
Bro there's no embarrassment, that's how science is, disprove older ideas and replace with new ones
Iuv luv luv Joe Scott so much of his content goes right over my head particularly the science but he doesn't talk down to the viewer, has a great sense of humor and I genuinely want to have a better understanding of what the topic is and that's right in my wheel house.
Well, that's a whole helluva lot of stuff I could never wrap my head around before I heard you explain it ~ so ~ Thankyou!
I remember being a little kid in the 80s in love with astronomy - no smart phones, no internet, no exoplanets - hell, we didn't even know about dark energy and that the universe is expanding!
Yeah, same here. The most complicated thing I had to do was calculate THAC0s. I didn't even get my first computer until my senior year of high school.
@@jackielinde7568 i think i would be good at calculating TACOS ... right before i ate them.
@@kosmique I am right now rolling a die while opening up excel to see if I can hit you on the head with a rolled up newspaper. Is your armor class a 10?
When I was little the first Mars photos came back and we were all a bit shocked to see no evidence of Martians, just craters.
We knew the universe was expanding (since the 20's) we didn't know it was expanding at an ever increasing rate (gravity implies it should be slowing down).
"At least now we know what viruses are! We understand germ theory!"
Someone hasn't been surfing CZcams, social media, or any other commentary sections...
-.-
For certain definitions of "we".
Such a truthful yet insanely depressing comment ☹️
I remember watching Carl Sagan explain what it would be like to try to comprehend a new dimension. It really got me into thus stuff. Thanks for continuing to pique my interest and make this kind of science easily understandable. If I have to listen to someone explain the dual split experiment again in a documentary I'm going to go crazy lol.
I'm impressed. And the right amount of humor. Even more impressed
Oh man I thought this was about Stephen Wolfram's theory. You should research that
Same, not enough people on youtube talking about it.
From what my pea brain was capable to understand he basically reinvented math, only he's using hypergraphs instead of numbers and anything can be explained with it through a fancy cellular automaton.
It's a mathematically beautiful theory.
Agree, have a look into this Joe.
Stephen Wolfram's concept is called "Graph theory"
Why is it that right when Joe said “wouldn’t be the first time...” at 7:01, I thought of Careless Whisper? I was so surprised when he played that afterwards.
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.
'This broke me...' LOL 🤣 The Chidi reference had me laughing so hard. Chidis' reaction to the dot of the i is pretty much my reaction to string theory and all of it's weird and far-out ideas of the universe. That said it is still a fun theory to explore and learn about.
you had me at Quark :)
"the math all works!"*
*: if it turns out that we can find a specific geometry of a manifold that lives in those 11 dimensions that makes everything work. Also, we haven't found any evidence of supersymmetry yet, and we really expected to have found them by now....
And this is why i have a hard time "just believing" scientists. They want to be right more than they want to have the correct answer, and this is because its like any other field... competition.
@@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.
Curtain Bummings go away William.
bjr1822 ok
brocoli E8 theory?
Bro, your videos lately have been on point with the clever one liners 🤣🤣👌💯🔥
I appreciate your gentle/kind ness.
