- Could the universe be composed of a single electron? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly answer grab-bag questions about the multidimensionality of time, quantum chromodynamics, gluons, tachyons, and more with Charles Liu.
Could every electron actually be the same one? Find out why or why not. We discuss Richard Gott, world lines, and the discovery of positrons and antimatter. What is an electron’s relationship to time? Plus, who would Neil most want to be shackled next to in a Spanish Inquisition prison?
Could time itself be multi-dimensional? We talk about unfolding the dimensions, measuring time using an entropy clock, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda. Can you measure a quantum wave field without interacting with gravity? Learn about the insides of atoms and what the quantum particles are doing in there. Discover quantum chromodynamics and the 8 types of gluons. Can dark energy collapse the wave function?
Why do red and blue make violet when it is not between them on the color spectrum? We discuss vision and quantum biology. Do objects have color or does the brain just create it? Why don’t photons go faster than the speed of light? We explore freezing light and when you could speed it up. Are tachyons a viable concept? All that, plus, Neil and Charles share what they think the greatest scientific achievements are.

It’s actually crazy how competent chuck has gotten in astrophysics and theoretical physics over the years. Like this guy has a deep understanding of casual understanding such that he can question for us laymen cause we ain’t there to question Neil and liu ourselves
And add Gary to that, continuing to represent those of us who have not been able to keep up with Chuck. Not a criticism! A wholly sincere compliment and expression of gratitude. Keep throwing out your curious layman questions, Gary👍
And when Gary gets there, StarTalk will need yet another brilliant mind waiting to get turned on to the universe.
Exactly, Chuck is making a lot more sense, than all the others put together. 😂
Chuck Lord Nice probably has an IQ of 130 or more; I'm just guessing. Maybe even 140-ish. But he's public confirmation that someone without formal training (I assume he's not a formally trained physicist or other degreed scientist of any kind) can comprehend this stuff on some level, given that the material is explained properly.
There have been so many great guests on this show,but when Charles Liu is on you know that you are in for a treat. His ability to convey extremely complex ideas in such a simple way is extraordinary!
Hear hear
Very reminiscent of Dr. Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time".
Mr. Liu explains it in a way that not only do I not feel dumb when he's explaining it. In fact, I can follow along and I feel as if I am smarter than I gave myself credit for lol.
Please for the love of God tell me nobody believes this stuff traveling backwards and forwards in time really he actually said that with a straight face straight face
What if the first humans on earth actually arrived from another decaying planet in order to survive but the technology was lost and forgotten?
Chuck better stick around forever, I thought I was only watching the show because I love astrophysics but this guy is making it a thousand times better!
"Hey little gluon!" loooolll
The way the mind of that guy works... Well, I guess it's the same for any great comedian, the ability to make unexpected leaps that are inherently funny, but he also connects back seamlessly to the subject matter, which is the really amazing thing.
Chuck is a really smart guy, he understands a lot of these trickier and philosophical scientific concepts and has a lot of good jokes. Glad he's on here for sure.
Chuck, Charles, Gary and Neil 🟰🔥
If only these were the guys we got to vote for, this November.
the Fab 4, the Beatles of Astrophysics
The CCGN network lol
Neil=C^2/Gary.
I never imagined that I will see you talking about the Hungarian language in StarTalk. Respect to Charles for his correct knowledge about the Hungarian word he knows. Great session as always.
I, too, appreciate Chuck Nice. He's smart, but as far as I know, he doesn't have a science education. He shows that a smart person who cares and pays attention can learn, and understand, anything that comes at him.
He's great..had me laughing a few times but I get the feeling he really appreciates the topics.
He’s like the audience 💯 but yeah he’s sick though 🔥
@@CaptApril123 for sure, ... it showed in the passion he had when asking about dark matter and dark energy.
Can tou say script.
Yeah but the thing is physics is nothing without the math and equations and I bet he doesn't know much of that.... And neither do I ofcourse
“But how is that the same electron?” Had me rolling! Going into my undergrad in physics, Chuck’s mindset gives me such confidence knowing that out-of-the-box thinking is still extremely valuable and is maybe more, if not equally important to memorising equations! You’re an inspiration my guy!
Absolutely. The ability to THINK, to ask relevant questions and pursue a line of reasoning and deduce new information from experiments and/or observations, and then ask new questions based on that, (lather, rinse, repeat, ad infinitum) is THE most valuable tool in science. It's the basis of the Scientific Method, the step-by-step process of scientific learning. Anyone can be a scientist or researcher of sorts by learning and following the Scientific Method.
@@kellyrobinson1780 Couldn’t have said it better myself. There’s not many (if any at all) fields of work where criticism is encouraged, everyone’s ideas are evaluated equally - and what I believe to be most important quality, is the ability to accept when you are incorrect, and work around the problem to an objective solution that everyone can understand. These are the kind of traits and characteristics that I want to live the rest of my life with. Science for the win!!!
(former electrician getting ready for phys undergrad 25yrs)
Whoa, my mind is doing backflips! This is some serious mind-bending stuff. If there's only one electron in the entire universe, does that mean we're all connected in some crazy quantum way? And the idea of a backwards-running universe is blowing my mind! Great episode, guys! Makes me want to go back and rewatch Tenet! 😉
OMG... don't go there. My mind could not ever accept the notion of kinship with MAGAdonians. 🤢🤮
These should be +2 hours long! Wow, what a joy!
Once upon a time I found the channel to listen to Neil, but over the years I’ve stayed for chuck
kids listen to neil, adults listen to chuck
Charles and Neil together are my favorites. Love it when Charles and Neil challenged each other! Great episodes.
Go marry him then
@@jimbojimbo6873 wtf 😂
love from a village in India
From which state brother?
There are many single men in India, be careful if you are a woman. (Especially if you are a tourist, you are an easy target for organized crime
@@virendrasahani6871 karnataka
Hope you're happy with the elections! Exciting
@@jannichi6431 yes we are happy. It was thrilling!
Charles seems like the nicest guy in the world
He reminds me of my Uncle Glen. The way he talks and laughs are a perfect match
*You mean in the universe. Or Liuniverse
19:34 this is experience exavtly
@@norcalpacificnah, that would be me.
He’s a professor at my school, he is indeed a very wonderful person and is amazing to talk to about science! Very funny as well. I have a video on my phone somewhere of him singing Hot Patootie from Rocky Horror Picture Show
Loved this episode. When I hear these guys talk I wish I was a bit more passionate about physics in high school. There’s so much to learn and discover still.
Charles elevates Chucks game
Charles liu with Chuck is the greatest duo...Chuck, always asking extremely intriguing questions and Charles answering it so complex yet in such a simple manner
I love it!! You can never get enough of these two 🙏🏼
Well I know what I'll be doing for the next hour.
Drinking? Same man, same
Hour number 2 of watching Niel today while I take care of my plants!
Watched some Clint's Reptiles and Lindsey Nikole earlier today. Now, Star Talk time. Life is good.
Can of Doritos and a weed pen I’m locked in.
@@cheapskatepanic😂😂😂
Every episode I appreciate Chuck more and more
How do the twin towers collapse on 9/11 if gravity is not a force according to the equivalence principle where gravity is the same as only an upward force not downward?
i am glad people are catching on
@@vibehighestI'll admit i was confused about his presence initially and his corny jokes, but he's grown on me a lot. Now when he's not there, i feel empty
@@nostalgiatrip7331 agreed, he is the yin to Neils Yang
@@nostalgiatrip7331 also always great episodes when Charles is on, and i am waiting to see Andrew to come back on!
Non Stop Neil Action This Week! Lets Goooo!!!!

YESSSSSSS
@@RocketWithASmile OHHHH YEAAAAA 🚀🤘
Charles Liu is fascinating to listen to. A very good explainer with a vast spectrum of scientific knowledge. I enjoy seeing him as a guest every time.
Damn I wish these were longer!!!
It is such a joy to watch the explanations from Professor Liu, so good. Thank you for getting this team together.
⁹⁹ⁿ
Never miss Liu. Have to rewind watch it again!
Is it just me -- apparently not, judging by the comments below -- or is this one of the all-time gems of StarTalk? You guys just complimenting and elucidating on each other, helping us laymen grasp/envision our universe in ways that are normally very hard to access. Love it. Love you guys.
Always a great show when Charles Liu is on, never disappoints.
More Charles Liu. Actually, more Gary, more Chuck and if Course more Doctor Tyson
Chuck thought at 9:45 demonstrates the only think that he's laking of (in comparison with Neil and Charles), is a paper-print diploma: Absolute brilliant thinking. 👏👏👏👏
P.S. Sorry for my english. Regards from Uruguay
he made a point that i feel was a very relevant and logical. nice Chuck... if you ever see my comment and think of it at the right moment... i would love to hear you say "Chucky wanna play." lol pleeeeeeeeeeasseeeeeee!
Interesting. If electrons and positrons are the same thing going in opposite directions in time, then that means that when we "see" them mutually annihilating each other, it's really just one particle changing direction. Mind blown!
I really appreciate how Charles Liu approaches topics, bringing together his vast knowledge (from a bright mind continually learning) with a bent towards using every day experience and explaining how physics works to explain and enhance our understanding of these experiences. I went directly and got The Handy Physics Answer Book and will get his Quantum Physics book when it is released in July. Thanks!
My favourite science guy Neil. I am also understanding science and I am grateful for these videos and their time.
First line of the video, "What if there's a universe working backwards" is enough to got me going for 54 minutes 🎉🥂
How do the twin towers collapse on 9/11 if gravity is not a force according to the equivalence principle where gravity is the same as only an upward force not downward?
The electron moving back an forth and being seen at the same time reminded me of the old TV screens where an electron scanned back and forth across the screen to create an image that we would see. But here we are talking about moving in all directions at once.
Engaging from start to finish! Brilliant group here, love this combo
You guys need to be having these conversations while sitting around a campfire. Passing around the peace pipe and megapint.
5:50 wasnt Paul Dirac who came with the antiparticle equation? Fermi was the neutrino guy as I remember...
Both major contributors to science.
100%. Came here to say this. It was Dirac that predicted antimatter. In 1928.
@@BobbbyJoeKlop Dirac noticed solutions to his equation for the electron that he had to explain, he had a bit of complex solution, when it turned out the Dirac Equation predicted anti-electrons , he said "His equation was smarter than him."
@@mikeottersole Cant agree more with you! Fermi and Dirac were real giants!
I love y'all so much. Especially when all four of you are in the same episode! Okay! You talked me into it! I will become a member.
This group is awesome. Two minutes in and I'm in stitches and more informed at the same time.
Perturbations within a singular field of an as yet named force capable of transverse communication during interactions with photons for energy conservation may be interpreted as an electron or positron detection when observed from our singular perspective of time. Just a thought. I could be wrong.
CHUCK I LOVE YOU MAN @2:17
And 53:27 😂😂😂 what a gem !
There’s no need to shout.
Thank you so much. This has been educating and I'm going to teach my daughter what I have learned. Love it. Want to see the four of you again soon.
I just wanted to clarify that Lincoln, Nebraska is the home of the Runza. Barbecue and wheat come to mind when i think of Kansas. I'm a huge fan of everyone that has been a part of this show. Neil and Chuck never fail to make me laugh and learn at the same time. The show featuring Will Harris was my favorite one so far. I was excited that everything he does working with nature was discussed on a show with such a vast and diverse following. Keep spreading knowledge fellas.
Love this panel, long live StarTalk!
Yess back with the OGs 🎉🎉
Fantastic episode, Prof. Liu is a wonderful complement.
Charles is synonymous with elegance! It's honestly so great that a smart guy is good peoples....very rare in the Neil world
I see charles is on...i click...simple
18:58 Kung Fu Panda is DreamWorks, Chuck...
Yes, It's one of a hundred crazy important discoveries/inventions in just the recent past. But I'll add the importance of the semiconductor and transistor to that list. They have helped every area of science as they enhance our abilities to crunch and understand data.
love these guys !!! Very knowledgeable very intelligent..And I am very lucky I can watch them on CZcams!!! always learning something new thank you guys!!!!!
The GEEK-IN-CHIEF is back!!! My favourite episodes also Chuck and Gary!! Just gold
I smiled so hard when I opened youtube and seen a new episode and for even more excited when I seen all 4 of you together😊
Dr. Liu has a very soothing voice.
I love listen to you guys!
Can multidimensional time somehow be connected to many worlds interpretation?
Chuck is just here to break the tension, and I'm here for it.
Chuck is intelligent and funny. I love his contribution
Great episode once again.
I lived on this earth for 32 years with a learnig disabilty that has made me have a debilitating fear of learning in traditional educational settings.
Thank you for making this podcast. You guys make learning sound so fun and interesting and the way you guys geek out about complex topics just a breath of fresh air.
Im going to he honest, that was one of the most enjoyable podcasts I have ever listened to! Everyone was just on top form and in their flow state throughout! Thanks guys
The single electron theory is interesting, but in a practical sense; if you were to capture that single electron does that make the entire universe disappear since it can not freely exist everywhere else at once due to being held. 😁
That is not true. There is an escape it is far beyond the quantum level. The electron will simply jump away and not be seen. Easily explained with the subconscious. In your conscious mind the picture jumps into the subconscious. All one electron. Communication, and travel. Explains Universe as consciousness and life as subconscious. We are in the subconscious universe. Energy is conscious. and consciousness. Hive mind. This explains humankind understanding from observation. We see the universe and suddenly we understand how it is working. Knowledge is great.
@@rafaelgonzalez4175wow. That was a mouthful
Chuck is a gem
Beautiful discussion, but most of the concept just want over my understanding. Yet it was sooooo beautifully explained ❤.
well, that conversation between John Wheeler and Richard Feynman about the one-electron universe, could be interpreted differently too and they were just close or forgot to add the word "field" to it, as in a single electron-field for the entire universe. Fields are everywhere and fluctuations cause them to be non-zero, so a single electron-positron-field, a single gluon-field, a single up-quark-anti-up-quark-field,... That could still be easier to grasp. An electron is just a specific amount of energy on that particular field at that particular place and location in time, but the electron-field is everywhere, but does it have an energy of its own and what kind of energy?
Nice try pronouncing 'egeszsegedre' :D. You were close.
1st on this one I'm like the big bang🎉
I feel smarter now . Thank you guys keep calm and carry on
One of the most interesting StarTalk episodes! 🤗🌠
Okay, I will pretend that I have watched this 54min video and commenting rn at 15th min of upload 😅
Neil is 👍
Im early asf
I al hooked to this channel, its 12 am here and I am still not bored of this 😅
Great show!
(This is why i regularly tune in to star talk)
We need Terence Howard on the show please 🙏🏽
I bet if Terrance had some "verifiable" data--he would be on the show! He obviously has a great imagination but now he has got to submit papers, let his ideas be scrutinized; be tested and re-tested. Which is the exact same process that any reputable scientist would go through.
@@RodriguezCarlitos-hd7ti what about those 97 patents he has?
@@Leuneurd1 Absolutely-I’ve read that he applied for many patents and may hold an augmented reality patent. He seems like a brilliant imaginative guy. But he’s not an Astro physicist-and the one degree he holds is in dispute: (many claim it is an “honorary” engineering degree.) But even if it were not in dispute, he still has no background, and has submitted no papers on physics of any kind.
@@RodriguezCarlitos-hd7ti I definitely think he can have a great conversation with Neal. The man is super intelligent 👌🏽
When Chuck says, "That sounds crazy", he is echoing my exact same thought. Modern physics is pretty out there when compared to our day to day existence. Talk about food for thought!
Charles is one of my favourite guests, I gotta read his books.
You guys are amazing! Thank you so much 🙏🏾
This was fun and educational. Thanks.
I can not stop watching you! You are amazing! Keep up the good work!❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
Big bang I thought was still on the fence. Can we get an episode on that specifically
Truly great episode!
It's an entirely higher level of mind relaxation combined with accreting knowledge, point on delivered laughter and actually learning about some of the deepest mysteries of the universe ❤️❤️
Love science ❤️ Love Startalk ❤❤ Love physics ❤❤❤
I am spell bound by the discussion. Magical !!! I was puzzled whether I was dreaming or watching the podcast !!!
Chuck is AWESOME!!
Wonderful episode 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Gotta love Chuck… Tells it like it is!
Thank you. Glad someone saw!
Man, I got goose bumps listening to this episode. To me, it is one of the best so far.
Re: multiple dimensions of time, you could also ask whether there could be additional timelike dimensions that are orthogonal to the t that we perceive _OR_ you could ask whether the t we perceive is the total magnitude of multiple timelike dimensions that we can't independently perceive.
Oh my God, this blew my mind. I hope this show never ends.
Good episode!
My favorite group of people on this channel! You compliment each other perfectly! Thank you for another great and humorous one 👍🏻☺️
The movie Arrival also had an interesting take on our perception of time. Another great discussion! Thanks!
Would love a full episode about the physics and biology of vision
This is really good video
As far as time dimensions go, can it be said then that every time I watch a CZcams video I am entering another time dimension because I am able to insert myself into any point of that videos timeline? Does watching CZcams videos, or any visual recording, make us all time travelers? Or does that not count because we are not physically inserted into the time these videos were recorded?
As a man of African and European descent living in America, I enjoy Chucks comments, spreading the black experience. We laugh and reflect on our pain. Love what guys and women do, behind the screen and in front of it.
Amazing as usual
💖 This episode makes me believe thinking in Astrophysics, (like mathematically) can be a new quantum goal. Thanks guys 🎆
Great show 💫
I love when we have the whole gang together!
Great episode
Thank you, The golden boys! :D I am now interested in Gott! :D
Great show!!
Good job Chuck. If it exploded in a moment in time and causes a release of energy, it would change the feild around it and causes parallel destruction of all, or closer ones.
