- What does it mean for space and time to be the same thing? Not related to each other, but literally two descriptions of precisely the same entity: "spacetime"? One cannot understand existence without understanding spacetime.

Time and space are relative.
The more time I spend with my relatives the more space I need
That is so fucking brilliant!
Amazing 🙌
And vice versa
Isn't what you describe at the core of Einstein's Fear of Relatives?
Space is the ambient within where the whole universe exists. Space in and of itself can exist as being totally empty of any matter or material thing and still be as vast or perhaps infinite as the existing universe. Time however does not exist in empty space even as time does not exist in and of itself. Time is but a measure relative to the actions and interaction of all the matter in the universe.. so in a sense time is a measuring device and is unlike the reality of space.
I love the way Lee explains these ideas in such a clear, fascinating and patient way. Obviously he knows that most viewers won't understand the math and conceptual details of the topics, but he still formulates his answers in a deliberate and thoughtful manner. Bravo!
Really, I didn't understand a single word. Well, I understood the words, just not a single idea they represent.
@@mydogskips2I didn’t either, and I am betting most people who are not cosmologists, unified field theorists , etc., do either!
What's even more puzzling is that Mr. Smolin's tilt angle is the same as the Earth's

This is such gold considering the gravity of the conversation.

It’s interesting to hear words in English, spoken in a clear voice, and in a familiar pattern, and yet not being able to understand them at all when put into a certain sequence.

In perfect shape? Lol the little shrimp looks like he doesn’t even lift weights.
@@macysondheim He has recovered recently from a serious illness...
My favorite part is when the host says "so you are teasing apart space and time" and the guest says "yes" and the host comes back with "wow, well that's quite radical". Einstein's view, his theory, has become so well entrenched that it's now radical to think of space and time as being separate from each other. Amazing!
You are right, it is fascinating that it took less than a century. At the same time, you cant become president of the US if you dont believe humans descend from Adam and Eve!
The radicals have taken over and now empirical science is considered radical.
If time didn't change nothing could change therefore there could be no space. Without time it is impossible to perceive the existence of anything making time and space codependent.
@@MonteCarlo-rx4hu Time itself is change. How could time be dependent upon itself? It is a circular fallacy. It is like having a man lift himself up by his own bootstraps.
The one thing I would radically say is that space doesn't exist and time is not a measurement for observation... Hope Einstein would happy with my no cause & effect for things we can't see...spiritual... Hide & Seek.

@@11indigo this isn't comedy central kid wtf is wrong wid u
Where he is sort of correct is around 4 minutes, in that we can only define any motion or existence of something measureable by subjective reference points. However I really don't see how that should advance a classical general relativity or "linear tidal mysterious space" over special relativity. And I don't see how the possible inherent flux of space should make a study of particle dynamics and respective force fields less important.
Because he has no idea how it all started
@@junkerjorg6310 That is for sure, but who does?

When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer
By Walt Whitman
When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

Well done. I wish I could understand. I have 2 degrees and one of them a masters. I can accept something I don't understand.
Eg. a black hole. It is assumed it is a singularity. But perhaps it is not. Perhaps it has a surface immediately beyond the event horizon. Assumptions are made that are only theoretical and seem never to be provable.
Yes, brain hurt...I think it's about time to stop this philo-madness. It doesn't sound "profound" anymore, it nearly sounds ridiculous. Help my brain connect with my mind here: Where is all this "expanding space" expanding into? Anti-space? Conversation like this, even if they have more than 400 years of philosophy, (because let's get grounded here, it's all mental-matters, not our actual experience), it all sounds like a black hole for our common sense, interpreted as "profound deep inquiry". Do people actually get paid to sit on their couches and drool in their own thoughts. Strange occupation.
@@hittitecharioteer It is treated as a singularity because that's how it behaves. A pole in space where the supremacy of the speed of light is overcome by gravity. Physics is a lot different in its neighborhood, especially at the event horizon, beyond which not even light can escape.
Best part of this is the cameraman trying to keep the physicist in frame. He looks like he's constantly about to lean out of his chair haha.
He leans because of gravity 🤣
Whenever Lee starts to think hard he starts moving his upper body.
Keeping within the tme frames and Event horizon.
He's bending space and time
Heavy brained
I've always had difficulty reading Lee SMOLIN's works. Many others communicate better. He's keeping it simple, here.
Is there a sense in which the ruler and the clock are replaced by light (electromagnetic waves) as the measure of what interactions are possible?.
I feel like I could converse with Smolin for years about the universe and we'd never have a boring second. Groundshaking perspective and insight are the one things we all can have, but only few truly pursue it.
"we" may not get board...... however , he quite possibly would
Maybe not boring but I will get a headache trying to figure out what he is saying :-)
I really appreciate what this show does, thanks CTT team
Ehhhhh..... I dont really like the show. I think he is asking the wrong people the right questions.
Seems like he asks scientists .... "spiritual" questions. Which they respond with material answers.
Like asking a dog what its like to be a cat.
I think he is looking for people with academic credentials rather than people with experiences.
I think he should interview these people with PROFOUND strange experiences that are unexplained....... yet documented and witnessed by others.
I think the show will be better at that point.

You cant find truth if you only stick to one truth teller. You should ask the Sun Moon and the Stars if you want to find the truth about the cosmos.

Too bad
Amazing! Briliant idea!
It seems that Temperazture of the object will directly influence on local object time.
As when temperature is higher the more often causaliity (events of interaction) will follow.
So when you want to stop object local time you shall cool it down.
True: had an almost identical conversation with a friend last week. Best - and funniest- part was we were stoned, hence disconnected from time and space. Didn’t need the Ph.D.

There’s a fun channel on CZcams called something like drunk history ... the host gets the guest close to tipsy before starting the show
That caused me to create the time to watch it again. I think I will move ten feet to the left before I do to see if it changes anything.
Actually, you will move ten meters.
Your on a rock being dragged along by a gas giant at roughly 200km a second your movement is relative
Nice talk :) Although not a physicist in recent decades I have come to think of space and progression/time as the being the polar opposite of one and the same thing. A bit like the concept of photon polar orientation or quantum states. Space and time can flip states under certain conditions where time becomes space and space becomes time such as the even horizon of a black hole.
But then I do sometime feel to subscribe to my thinking that everything we perceive is nothing more than an elaborate holographic universe stored on a massive advanced static computer like data system.
isn't it just a specific container that holds a linear sequence of atoms and the length of atoms in sequence from point A to point B determine the space and the time simultaneously since we measure time through materiality and all material things are made from atoms? The velocity constant is the speed of light, all below this is relative.
One of your best presentations, ever. Smolin’s critical thinking, conceptual investigations, clarity of thought, and analytical honesty are head and shoulders above the majority of the characters who consider themselves as theoretical physicists.
or at least those who consider themselves physics communicators.
all he did was pump the brakes on the extra dimension/multiverse/hologram wow factor.

Creation has to do with spirituality. Con(with) science.........conscience.
A 10min Lee Smolin interview video cured my 10yrs suffering of neck's bulging discs
How could time 'emerge' from something more basic given that time is already required for the process of emergence even to be in place?
So, if time is moving in a direction as space expands, then does it move in an opposite direction if at some point space contracts?
And then, almost when I was turning CZcams off to sleep, I see this video and my mind is blown up... This seems like an episode from the Twilight Zone when person discovered the answer to what reality was.
Reality is what already happened! Or did it!?!? 0=;,”????????
Modern science claims that all matter is made up of quarks, electrons and interacting energy. BUT, do all things even actually exist, OR do ONLY quarks, electrons and interacting energy exist as all things???????? "I" exist and yet "I" do not exist, depending upon perspective. And how could "I" ever die if "I" never ever existed at all in the first place????????
@@charlesbrightman4237 Regarding black "holes" that he walks into around 4'30 , I suggest one reads through this article to see some of the problems with the contradictions in the rather postmodernistic or neo-esoteric version of speculation.

It is kind of comical that one f ex claims that black holes are black because they do not emit anything ,and then say they emit x-rays (which is a form of photonic waves)..
@@KibyNykraft Without reading the article, I agree with you as far as stuff being emitted from a black hole. Either absolutely nothing gets emitted from a black hole, or an absolute something gets emitted from a black hole. Electromagnetism is something and not nothing.
It's also like people claiming that outer space is empty. Nope. It is filled with electromagnetism in various electromagnetic energy frequencies at an absolute minimum.

@@paulteller8383 ...well..... All theoretical physicists (today) tend to be very pretencious,unlike those who work at/with for example advanced engineering, geology, biochemistry,who are real scientists.
@Roberto These people are like clergies ,but of postmodernist/alternative /pseudoscience forms or branches.
Seems to me if you the flow of causality events at a quantum level as being the definition of time it seems emergent. It is like the definition ticking of a clock. We think of it as a measurement of time but from the opposite perspective it is a series of mechanical events that are occurring based on physical causation that was designed to repeat and we use this emergent property to represent time as it can be related to the sequence of other events. Since events happen in a causal sequence then time emerges.
If we describe an event we always need to determine the 'when' and the 'where' - if we meet up at the same time but in different places we don't get to experience the same event. And the same applies if we're at the same location, but at different times. From our human point of view, the two must be connected.
But does that mean that we experience things the correct way, or are we missing something; much like ants whom see the world in 2D?
How do you explain the alphabet to them, when all the know is X and Y?
I cannot stop thinking about time as just a sequence of different configurations of space and mass. Every new configuration has something in between it and something before it, so the order of events is clear.
No, you can't, that's how a human experiences time. You may use your imagination to try to get past the sequence but experientially you will be dealing with time in the way you describe as long as you're human. We experience it directly through the aging process. "The order of events is clear", agreed and nothing could be more obvious.
You're right it's just the logical order of causality. "Time passing" is an illusion that was created by the harnessing of our planet's rotations for tracking the day and year's passage".
@@slingshotchicken4695 He's actually right, it's your imagination that's compromised.
This is the first time I have seen Lee Smolin, but I have read several of his books, the content of which I find very refreshing. Thank you Lee for your pursuit of the trouble with physics!
Lex Fridman had a great conversation with him about a year ago on his podcast.
This is the first space I have seen him as well.
Refreshing in the sense of at least some recognition that progress in physics has stalled. Maybe recent events may spark a new revelation... ?
@@grahamswinerd idk maybe dude
@Edward Williams I assume he means that by acknowledging that physics has been running into a wall as of late, it might open the way for new ideas. I have heard an increasing amount of respected physicists questioning String Theory and the idea of a Theory of everything as being dead ends or not leading to answerable questions.
What if you replace time as ( temperature) an space with ( particles )(instead of time an space )an the measuring of those as the fundamentals of research? Use earth as an observation ball to the things in space an compare them to what we see out there ? To what we have learned here ? Pressure, temperature, an how things react ? Doubt it would help solve any of the original question or equations.
Really interesting down to earth person that I could listen to all day. I've been thinking the same thing but I definitely lean towards time being an emergent property of more fundamental things interacting, such that it does not exist. The same thing goes for space. Space is "is" that thing interacting i.e. space is just energy fields and configurations providing certain interactions and dynamics. This is of course very complicated as energy exists in many different ways: fundamental forces, solid masses, vacuum with particles blinking in and out of existence and certain quantum environments (think about cmb, dark matter, vacum decay etc). From that perspective I'd like to visualize it such that space, or energy, flows through objects. In certain cases it's very obvious, like with the fundamental forces. In other cases it's only noticeable when you travel at large speeds or hang out with massive objects. This flow slows internal speed, but not external speed. Which then is a way to view time dilation. Of course, these are all very complicated relationships (hyperbolic for instance) but at its core, at the end of the day, it's "just" a swim through a surprisingly complex but structured soup.

joseph Freetimer look deeper my friend….free inquiry has brought about all your/our conveniences…
@@johngrono what do you mean by this?
@@josephfreetimer1736 it’s not the most straightforward concept to explain, but I’ll do my best:
Imagine a graph, or perhaps better, a map, drawn on a grid fixed so that every location (point on the graph) has a location defined in reference to coordinates on that grid. Now, imagine lengthening all the edges of the grid’s squares, so that the graph/map/whatever you’re imagining drawn on it stretches along every axis. That’s what expansion of space in the universe is like, except that the matter within the space (everything physical) is ‘confined’ by the attractive forces (electromagnetic, gravitational, strong, weak) it feels and imposes on all the rest of the matter local to it - such as, for example, the attractive force the sun and the earth have on each other as they orbit - keeps the material within the universe “locked” into relative positions with respect to other matter, so that although the fabric of space within which it is contextualised expands, the matter experiences only the slightest of affects, which are dwarfed by the much stronger affects of the forces, due to fields such as the gravitational field which drives change in their relative positions.
This is general. Actually you are (at all times) being pulled outwards in all directions simultaneously by the expansion of space, however the attractive forces (predominantly electromagnetic and strong) between your constituent atoms, and the subatomic particles within them keeps you whole. Without these, you would spread out into a diffuse cloud (albeit imperceptibly slowly) as the universe you are imbedded within gradually expands. Note that this gradual expansion is radically slower and less impactful than the rapid expansion the universe likely underwent in its inflationary phase (according to our most likely theories).
Source: studied physics/maths.
Hope that clarifies. Feel free to ask me any other q’s you have.
The Block Universe becomes much more attractive if we consider time to be a 4th spatial dimension. But, as is so clearly pointed out, we don't understand the most fundamental characteristics of our universe. And because we don't, every avenue of exploration is based on some fundamental assumptions that may or may not be correct. What the heck is a dimension aside from its simple mathematical construct? Are there 3 or 4 or 10 or 11 or an infinite number of dimensions? Are they causal (emergent) or infinite and in place forever before and after? What is space and time? Is space and/or time discrete (quantized) or continuous? Can time, in any instance, run opposite to what we experience? Doesn't the idea that a particle can be in more than 1 place at any given time negate the idea of causality? Or is causality the absolute bedrock of reality? Are space and time fields and if so, are they static or dynamic? We can't even agree as to what Nothing is. There are so many unknowns at the fundamental level that any extended model of the universe such as the so-called Standard Model with Inflation is built on unproven assumptions, beliefs, and biases. It may be a house of cards, but most will stick to it despite it's shortcomings. But we need to be aware that it is philosophy (little "p" philosophy as in beliefs and assumptions, not big "P" Philosophy as in Jeremy Bentham or David Hume or Socrates) at the heart of our description of the Universe. We need to keep reflecting on the fundamentals to be assured that we are on the right track and keep investigating those base ideas which are unspoken but extant in our models and shape our investigations.
Don't we still need some sort of ordered sequence of interaction/transformation events if change is to make any sense?
I have experienced that time and space are one in the same. The space I live in has taken all my time to maintain.
Try thinking about time as a measurement of things that have a physical presence and affect other things.
Events always include (almost by definition) movement, the movement, from one place to another of something tangible, such as matter or radiation.
Time measures the changing movement of objects but has no power, energy, or effect on anything.
An accurate analogy is Temperature, which doesn't make a thing hotter or colder, it only measures one particular state of an object. Time is no more a "thing in itself" than is length. Both are measurements. If nothing moved there would be no time.
Yes actually you are correct. As a child I looked at a clock and wondered if I could stop time, or by concentrating on the second hand, slow it down. Obviously one cannot, becauuse it is the movement of the hand from one point to another that we take to represent time. That is how space and time are related. But to go further, don’’t think in terms of material things - ultimately there are only patterns of energy. The clock is a mechanical pattern, the solar system is a gravitational pattern, and so on. Ultimately all “material” objects are just patterns of energy (as far as physicists can determine at this “time”). Then Smollin’s point of view makes sense, that causality is just patterns of energy interacting. Whether one billiard ball striking another, or running into a friend and talking about the football game - in which case the patterns are the stored memories in your brain interacting.
Not a measurement as it will change depending on the effects of entropy on different types of mass. Its just the process of mass moving toward entropy.
If nothing moved, there would be still time, place a clock in vacuum, time still ticks
@@ivanmenezes640 but if nothing moves,then clock also doesnt move and doesnt show passage of time... So,if nothing moves (including clock) how would you know the passing of time? Thats the question
Wrong while it's not possible for all things to stop moving.
So did he suggest in the end that we still do not have a proper definition of time?
Good subject, I've always like Dewey Larson's Reciprocal Theory as an interesting take on the subject of space and time
Yy , 😂 up t6j in
This is so fascinating to me, but I wonder how to really understand it.
One way is mathematically via the models of quantum mechanics (complex vector spaces) and general relativity (differential geometry).
An intuitive approach would be to think about walking. I walk from my bed to the door. These are two distinct points in space and time, i.e. where I am is a distance away from where I'll be, and when I am is a distance away from when I'll be. Now add in a magical observer a light year away, who watches me walk to the door by analyzing the light that bounced off me. It takes a year for the light to get to the observer, adding another distance in both space and time. Relative to the observer, that event (which caused the information on the light that informed the observer to exist) is happening right now (since they are seeing it right now). Relative to me, it happened a year ago, likely in a very different place from where I am then. What relativity says is that both people (or frames of reference) are correct; time and space are relative to the observer. Now what can we say about the relations of these two people? If I wanted to tell the observer something, causing a thought process in them, light would have to travel to them. The relative amount of time it would take IS the amount of space between us, and so the two are isomorphic (can be mapped onto one another 1 to 1).
This is how space and time are combined into spacetime, and their relation is entirely constituted by causality, specifically its sequencing (how long it takes for information to travel). Hope that helps a little.
space and time are simply dimensions. If you want to meet me at a place (space) you need to know the time, conversely if I say meet at 12 noon, you say where (which location or space). one cannot exist without the other, hence the definition space-time.
If the sun were to suddenly be switched off or cease to exist, it would take 8 minutes until we realise it. at which point it is too late. 8 minutes of unaware bliss... cause and effect, with space-time.
@Gourav Gupta In order for information to inform, it needs a time and place to inform. If this were not so, who is going to receive the information? Eliminate space first, and just propagate information through time. Is the entire universe now aware of this information for the rest of time? Where did it come from? Where does it apply? You dont get a lot of info without the spatial coordinate. Now eliminate time. Does my entire timeline now have the information? If that's so, could I use that info to change my future, creating paradoxes? When is this info applicable? Without the time coordinate, information will either be paradoxical or unusable.
I could be wrong, but I think he’s just simply saying that time preceded the Big Bang. Where as space did not. Extrapolating; could really lead towards other dimensions / Universes.
Some good animation illustrating these ideas would be very helpful here.
Indeed. Even the scholar was giving a good amount of hand gesture. Very intellectual individual.
good luck briefing the animator :)
Good suggestion, but they had neither the time nor the space . . . .
@@robrobski exactly

To describe where we are to meet requires height, width and depth plus a time. This makes time a fourth dimension of space no more than a brush, a canvas and paint makes each of these the same when describing a painting.

Always a pleasure.
He did alright here. Of course, his most relevant question was ignored. ("can we measure anything or is this philosophy?").
Agreed. His ability to ask the right questions is crucial to the value of these interviews.
Since Thinking is movement,w which need space to move,and all observable phenomena are in the field of space and time..Then how can we conceive the cause of time and space while still in a thinking mode?...What we conceive normally is in a thinking mode and we could examine everything comes under this field..
Thinking , observation , knowledge the environment is what causes Thinking to move . How does Space " move " . What causes space to move ?

7:01 I know this is an old video. But I am often mocked as a nutter for asking or considering the possibility of time being fundamental. It is possible and even plausible that in the space-time relationship by giving primacy to time with space (Empty expanse) as an unavoidable emergent property of time (time-space), that many questions in physics seam to fall into place including a universe from nothing, and what "appears" to be an infinite universe. I don't think this perspective would have any dramatic negative influence on our current math in physics.
As for how space became you got me, time is just a metric of measurement relative to the viewer of said space. Why things move forward, build then decay, begin & end I also have no answer.
Space just is . And its three dimensional . On Earth as well . Time zones .
To your last statement , because something will always exist . And this something recycles its self for infinity .
Last night I looked up at 8:07 and watched the space station pass overhead. I thought about the humans working, sleeping, living in that small ship with ultra thin walls separating them from the cold vacuum of space. I thought about how I can see their temporary home and that they are actually aging slightly slower than me. That is all.
Wow. I looked up just a little bit ago and saw it at 8:26 and thought to myself, “boy, I sure am stupid for writing this and going to that website to make sure I write down the actual time I’d see it.”
Time dilation is a myth based on assumptions made while viewing some rather sophisticated yet flawed math. No experiment has shown that time passes more slowly while traveling faster or further away from a large source of gravity. All we have as a proof of time dilation is the the atomic clock. While the time difference that occurs in earth based clocks vs space station clocks appear to prove time dilation, that is a mistake. It could be a property of the cecium atom. It could be some other phenomenon yet to be explained. It is circular reasoning to use the math, thought experiments based on the math, and a single observable fact to confirm that which is known to be in error. Yes, Albert was brilliant, but his relativity theories are flawed. Like Newton before him, his theories are good enough for our purposes, but not totally accurate.

Gravity is the Singularity.
Spacetime is the Singularity.
It is all tied together: wave-particle duality, the thermodynamic arrow of time, redshift, blueshift, dark energy, dark matter, and black holes, are actually all manifestations of relative infinity.
Gravity can be described as the path of matter through spacetime relative to the speed of light in relation to the Singularity (i.e. the speed of light in a vacuum. The Singularity is infinitely dense and infinitely vast, encompassing all observable spacetime and beyond). All matter in an infinite universe warps spacetime and concurrently alters the path of all other things. Since on a fundamental level all matter and energy resides within the Singularity, all matter and energy is its own cause and effect as well as the cause and effect of everything else. E=MC^2. Matter and energy can't be created or destroyed because they are fundamentally infinite. Observational physics is relative. Infinite physics is fundamental.
If you can't think on scales of infinity you will literally never understand.
An apple in your hand warps spacetime as demonstrated by Einstein, but what scientists can't seem to wrap their brain around, is that any object that warps spacetime alters the path of every other object in an infinite universe, instantly. Everything is connected.
You all want an explanation of how GR and quantum mechanics are compatible, you got it. The Singularity is the unifying factor.
Wave particle duality is a reflection of the effect of observation on the particle level. Perpetual observation of the interactions of light with our environment persistently impacts the trajectory of all particles and sets the parameters of relativistic physics.
Quantum entanglement is a reflection of the interconnected nature of reality.
The reason one particle can persistently affect another across indefinite distances, is because of the fundamental nature of gravity.
All cause exists relative to infinite effect.
All effect exists relative to infinite cause.
Observational reality is always infinitely far away from a "singular point" of infinitely high energy/information density (the relative past), and infinitely far away from a "singular point" of infinitely low energy/information density (the relative future).
This is what establishes a frame of reference for relative observation. You can never reach either "point" through the passage of time relative to observation. No matter WHAT you do, each is infinitely far away.
Light is essentially stretched from infinitely high energy to infinitely low energy. This is why light redshifts in accordance with the thermodynamic arrow of time. In other words, Dark Energy is the tension between the "point" of infinitely high energy density and the "point" of infinitely low energy density.
If you were to approach a black hole, you would never reach the event horizon from your relative perspective. The event horizon would recede into the distance relative to your position and motion through spacetime. From the perspective of an Earth observer, you would freeze at the event horizon, which is the Earth observer's relative moment in time. From your perspective, you would proceed into the relative future.
Nothing is truly improbable or probable, and every relative calculation is always infinitely inaccurate.
Every proof ever written, every word ever spoken, is infinitely inaccurate due to the relative nature of math and language as tools for conceptualization, computation, and communication of information.
We know the Universe is infinite because our language and mathematical symbols are arbitrary and relative to our experience. I can make a 2 character language such as binary code, a 37 character language, or a 998,000 character language... All the way on to infinity. This is because all language exists as a tool for describing relative infinity.
I can use our standard, base ten mathematics... Or I can create base 100 mathematics, or base trillion mathematics, using completely unique symbols that I can make up, all the way to infinity.
This is because all math exists to describe relative infinity.
The Mandatory Asymmetry Principle:
Before we get to the Mandatory Asymmetry Principle, let's start with the Infinite Precision Principle.
Both can be explained quite simply, using the basic geometric analogy of a square.
The Infinite Precision Principle dictates this: take a square. You measure it with a ruler, you get exactly one inch per side. Great.
Moving on, right?
Not so fast.
You decide to amp it up a bit and measure that square to the nearest 10,000th of an inch. You measure again, and this time you get 1.0001 inches. Your initial measurement appeared accurate, but a higher degree of precision found this to be untrue.
The Infinite Precision Principle states this: no matter how accurate you think your measurement of the dimensions of an object are, there is always infinite room to improve upon your measurement. No matter how many times or to what degree of precision you magnify your measurements, a higher degree of precision will eventually prove your initial measurement inaccurate.
The Mandatory Asymmetry Principle, when understood as it proceeds from the initially described principle, is as follows: take two sides of the square from the previous example. Let's say each side measured in initially at exactly 1 inch, then 1.0001 inches with the higher precision measurement.
You amp it up again- this time the nearest billionth of an inch.
This time, the measurements are as follows: A) 1.000100002 inches, B)1.000100003 inches.
So at a higher level of precision, you realize you never had a perfect square to begin with, at all.
The Mandatory Asymmetry Principle states this: if any given measurement of the dimensions of an object relative to observation, appears to be symmetrical, a higher degree of precision will eventually prove it is not.
Key insight: there is no such thing as a perfect square, or a perfect hexagon, a perfect pyramid or a perfect sphere.
Implications: every single object existing in our Infinite Universe is unique, and nothing can be measured perfectly in relative terms, ever, by anyone.
For every object in the universe to be unique, the universe must be infinite.
You can't measure the speed of light any more than you can measure the sides of a square. Because the only thing that is real, is infinity.
Imagine the entire observable Universe is a basket with 2 apples and 4 oranges. We live in an orange, and we can't see what lies beyond the basket.
Now, imagine the entire Universe is an infinite number of baskets, each with 2 apples and 4 oranges.
There are infinite baskets, infinite apples, and infinite oranges.
Basic logic dictates there are half as many baskets as apples, and twice as many oranges as apples.
The basket is like our observational bubble. Every phenomenon we observe happens inside the basket. The ratio of apples to oranges is like our physics. We can define the physics within our basket in relative terms and convince ourselves the description is accurate.
Or, we can define the physics of the infinite Universe in terms of the frequency of apples and oranges relative to infinity.
That's my take on it all!
I have literally been called delusional and an arrogant narcissist just for putting this idea out there, to your point. I think it makes perfect sense.
@@ericfarina9609 very good!
@@PedroFinGuitar I hope it makes some sense. I know I am not an expert. But I believe the Mandatory Asymmetry Principle is logically unassailable and that the implications are extraordinary. Language and math as tools for conceptualization, communication, and computation always leave infinite room for improvement no matter how you construct them.
As language and math are the conceptual tools on which physics is based, the implications extend directly to our understanding of physics.
A true understanding of the Singularity unites Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity with ease.

1) I'd tend to agree with Leibniz. 2) Doesn't entanglement undo light the cone / causality model?
3) If the interactions between 2 particles gave rise to space / time, then wouldn't enanglement also negate the concept of distance thus defined? Many questions! tavi.
It is one thing to postulate about time and space being co related or even being one thing. From the scientific and the philosophical perspective we can conceptualise the possibility of being so. However as beings that are captured in matter, relative to space and time, our experience is somewhat different to what the Physics and the Philosophy might suggest.
And the interesting point is exactly that even those who are elaborating from the standpoint of science or philosophy about time and space, are never the less captured , just like anyone else in our human experience of time and space.....
In my opinion this fact tells us more about our mental capacities of conceptualisation, which goes beyond our experience, than what it actually tells about the relationship of time and space.......

Also, it old is still old whether it's "new to you" or not, particularly when discussing physics, where 20 years changes a lot. A lot of these episodes are very dated.
@@b.g.5869 This is not a 20 year old interview, it's from 2013/2014. Anyway, our understanding of Space and Time has not been changed in the last 20 years.
Why is it "spacetime" and not "SpaceMassTime"? It seems there is no reason to ignore the mass (of the observer and the relative object/event) while discussing the abstraction of "SpaceTime". Is the conceptual truncation necessary ?
I prefer Time-Space. Energy/mass is not not fundamental for me.
I found the easiest way to understand this, the nature of space, is to think of it like your computer screen, made up of pixels in array. These pixels are refreshed at a specific rate - 60 times per second. Assuming in this case that pixels can transmit causality to their neighbors, That means action can only move across the screen 60 pixels/sec no more no less. That is your “speed of light”
Now consider a circle made up of pixels with many colors. If that circle where to move across the screen slowly, it could still change color, but if it moved left across the screen at a rate of 60 pixels/sec, Every action would have to be dedicated to translation to the left, and would not have the opportunity to use an action to change color. Its color pattern is fixed, it is no longer moving forward in time. All of its updates are dedicated to translational motion. If that were a person moving at the speed of light, they would appear to be frozen in position to an outside observer, not a heartbeat, not a molecule moving in their body, except in one direction at the speed of light. To the outside observer, time for that person has stopped.
Now back to the circle: slow down a little bit from the screen version of the speed of light, say down to 58 pixels/sec. The circle can now use two pixels per second to change its color state, but that would be very slow compared to the circle that is standing still. Time for the "sub-lightspeed" circle is moving very slowly, but it has not stopped
This is what is meant by space and time being intimately connected. In fact, there is no time without space, as time is simply the updating of the components of space (the quantum fields)
Now in quantum physics, there is the concept of the Planck length, which may very well be the absolute minimum "pixel" resolution of space and the units which are transmitting causality
Ba ba bouey
Wow....that long.
Dear Dr. Kuhn. Thank you for such a great contribution. Dr. Smolin clearly explained theoretically the causal link between space and time in close relation to events in space and time, because time is not an illusion, particularly when it is applied the Physics, Chemistry, etc in scale. The science in scale together with the utilization of cosmological laws, it explains the differentiation of organizing systems in a certain space and a certain time in the causal link space-time. Doctor Smolin only is using as well known in the scientific circles an effort for experimental agreement of "one single worldedness", to pacify the scientists arguing for the one universe, and those scientists arguing for the multiverse. But "one single worldedness", Dr. Smolin knows as well it is the same attempt that Newton or Leibniz tried at their time in order for their scientific theory to win. Dr. Smolin has done a great job, but he should continue it further in theory with the help of practical experiments of different scales.
You’re not very good at pretending to look intelligent or knowledgeable lol. Stop embarrassing yourself.
@@jaredf6205 Thank you Jared for your opinion, which is a human right. But if you really are knowledgeable in science, particularly in astrophysics, then you should have understood the meaning of the interview of Dr. Smolin with Dr. Kuhn. In that context you should have understood my argument, which was directed to Dr. Kuhn, although it is a public discussion about scientific problems, and not about your profession in hospitality. So, about you accusing another fellow human about pretension of being intelligent and knowledgeable, and even you issue the threat with sweetness to stop self-embarrassment of discussing scientifically about scientific problems with scientific arguments, which you do not understand. So, I cannot accuse you for "lol" ignorance, because ignorance is not a fault, but it is simple that if I do not know something, others can know it better. So, in your case if you do not know something you have the right to express your opinion, which is not scientific. You do not know that the great Newton, meanwhile became famous for his laws of motion in his main work, "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica", it is not publicized or it is spoken very little, that Newton was conducting experiments and he was a proponent of Alchemy, which was based on utopic delusions of discovering the Philosopher's Stone. In that context, the scientific contribution of Newton is well accepted in our planet Earth, but also it is understood the restrictions of his scientific steps in his thinking that our planet Earth is the "lucky one", as Leibniz was stating in his "Philosophical Essays", that God created our planet Earth as the best world. So, my arguments in scientific view of such restrictions in scientific knowledge of Newton and Leibniz, were in the European religions endorsed, stating that "we are the center of the Universe". The idea that we are the center of the Universe is not true, and it is proved by the existence of other extraterrestrial civilizations, which for I do not need to go in further discussions. If your opinion would have been associated with a question, I would have understood better your point of view, but with your accusations I do not know what kind of point of view you come from.

I have watched a couple of videos of Julian Barber explaining the timeless universe. But I didn't quite get the idea of how causality was removed from that theory and still we get a consistent universe?
Does anybody have any idea about that?
He’s describing a static universe where time is simply a perception as we move through space configurations, so at any given point there are potentially a variety of paths available to the next configuration. Causality requires a time dependent relationship where one event impacts the next but Barbour is getting at Hume’s observation that causation is simply an association of matters of fact which require an inference. In that way the events may be independent & just appear correlated by how we move through the configurations. It’s possible, but perhaps much less probable, to take a different path. Please interpret the words path, move, & take metaphorically.
The etymology of relativity, of relate, is "carry back". Things in space relate at lightspeed, not with simultaneity. Without chronicity, the "march of time", there is no space. " Space is measured by time, not time by space."(Urantia Book, p1439). Lightspeed is not mph, but the source of those miles. The universe of space is a time-related phenomenon. Check my video, " Ten to the 43rd Worlds per Second" on my channel.
At first I read that as Justin Bieber
@@winkywacky6173 - -Very good. Some beings use light to levitate & also to move in space without the gravity thing. They do it by controlling the light mathematically in theory, by half-ing the formula thus cancelling the time. It's complicated.
We have the four-dimensional Lorentzian distance between two events where there is a signature of +1, -1, -1, -1 with +1 used for the time coordinate and -1 used for the three spatial coordinates. The fact that it is almost like the Pythagorean formula except here is a sign change shows the connection. Einstein showed this distance formula is invariant under a change of inertial reference frame and more with his special theory of relativity. This to me shows the close connection between time and space. This was not mentioned but to me this is the most important connection.
Can a point in time be described without also indicating space or vice versa?
I have a CZcams playlist called "Food for Thought", and this has been added.
This is up there with "Why is there something when there could be nothing?"
There can't be nothing. Nothing, by definition, doesn't exist. To exist one must possess attributes. To have attributes one needs identity. The Pauli exclusion principle is the physical manifestation of the concept of self identity. No two members of a group can possess all the same qualities as another member without actually BEING that other member.
If A-B=zero then A=B.
How do you know there could be nothing? Only meaningful questions have answers. How do you know it's a meaningful question?
There have been multiple addressals to your question and many other fundamental concerns about existence in this channel itself. So many great physicists, mathematicians, philosophers worth listening to
@@KaliFissure That’s just semantics. Rephrase the question as “Why is there something, rather than the alternative?”
0 1 and -1 are all the same thing.
I've wondered if quantum entanglement itself describes time as being a flat object or characteristic of reality, rather than our perceived river of cause and effect. This stuff is so good. Although rather abstract, these notions give more of a feeling of deep wonder toward creation than any books or stories ever did.
Diogenes had it right from the start.
"All things that come into being are a conflict of opposites, the sum of those opposites, flow like a river"
I view it as the flipside of statistical nature of QM. Entanglement keeps particles in check across the universe.
Time is a construct of human observation. It’s relevant due to our mortality. A measurement tied to celestial and seasonal changes for which we also put to use in other observational gymnastics of thought. Think of time as another sensory input to our mind without some physical input from the fleshy side of sensory input. It’s such a strong influence to our cognitive process we had to define it sometimes beyond its simple existence of awareness.
a lot to think about here, but also a lot is over my head
Great interview, is there a longer version?
It sounds like he's explaining time as a movie with an infinitely fast frame rate, each frame being a 'moment' in time.
Well..kind of…but not infinitely fast. Time has a minimum interval. Plank time. This is the time it takes for light to cross the plank length…Which in practice means the minimum wavelength of a photon that can exist. It is incredibly short…billions of times more brief than our best clocks can register. Something like 10e-48 seconds.
@@contessa.adella That's a conundrum, how do they know how how short it is if they can't measure it or is it just a calculation?
I'm gonna need a much faster connection ⚡
We are living in a digital universe
A while ago I was super high in the shower and realized that time is the result of everything interacting with everything. I’m glad someone else figured it out to this extent so I don’t have to dedicate my life to a PHD so that humanity has this knowledge. Based science man.
Lmao
Noice
Also, this may be the most appropriate definition of time. I. E. time=the interval between events.
Your time is dependent on your relationship with space, not your relationship with other matter. It is your interaction with space, or space’s interaction with you that dictates your clock.
Is a moment time not just a certain distribution of energy/matter in space ?
The intuition I follow is that both notions (space and time) relate to "distance" between things. Something that is farther away takes more time to reach. Something takes more time because it is farther away. Both measure how difficult it is (as in how much energy is required) to go from point A to B. It's a degree of separation.The Big Bang separated the singularity into infinity of pieces. But what does separation mean? It means adding space, or time, between the pieces. And we can observe both space and time keep going and expanding. The chain of causality they mention in the video is all these parts, energy, traveling through the spacetime.
Good
Doesn't that violate special relativity? Depending on the speed at which your traveling the amount of time you experience to travel the same distance is different right? And as you approach a large mass or travel away from it, time either slows down or speeds up. This is why our GPS satellites have to account for quantum effects.
So at a quantum level the farther you are away the more events have to occur before you arrive. Could it be that time emerges from these events? I believe Carlo Rovelli wrote about this in Quantum Gravity.
As nerdy as it is to have a favorite theoretical physicist.... I absolutely have one.... several actually.
Julian Barbour has been my fav a long time now.
This video makes me so happy. I've heard snippets here and there over this past year that smacked heavily of his work and have been listening for his name.
Of course it would be the impeccable Lee Smolin who gave the nod! (Another fav)
Apparently the theory has been helpful in fluid dynamics .. idk how I have no clue what fluid dynamics even is. I heard it mentioned briefly in another lecture like 6 or more yrs ago. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
3:40 my mind exploded understanding that metaphor literally as if space doesn't exist without stuff inside it doing stuff and things
But can space exist without " stuff " . Can space exist independent of stuff ? Don't know . For me the particle , down the minuetest of the small , sub-quantum etc. All need space to exist . And expand . Simultaneously . Yeah but a particle without space could never form in the first place , without space . So Space would have to exist before any thing could form .
What is the place called where light has not yet reached?
Smolin rocks!
Briliant thinker and explainer!
Yes, but when Robert asked (who by the way is really getting better and better at asking the right follow-up questions) about the difference between the block universe and his( Lee's) concept I felt him getting a little uncomfortable when he had to admit he had to rip apart spacetime.
@@emmanuelpil His feelings about the facts do not diminish and are not the actual facts, and he admits those fact.
@@ZeroOskul Yes but the quantum theory of space-time in loop quantum gravity is really just a quantum theory of space. The spin network described by the theory cannot yet incorporate time. That's where the discomfort comes from.
If Sci-woo and waffle is your thing... How has he advanced engineering, I ask, as an engineer? More of a mathematical philosopher.. If anything, this type of mindset is the main cause of the fundamental physics rut... Too wishy-washy and abstract, not concrete enough... Here's the opposite approach from a good engineering standpoint, premised on do more with less.. Nature is conservative. The main conjecture is that either almost all or at least 50% of Positrons do not annihilate, but instead explain and simplify the Standard Model.. No way nature would waste the positron in my book... It's a self balancing system and the continuous attempt to re-balance permanent imbalances emerges the material universe we measure.

@@PrivateSi I don't think he's an engineer... but he HAS done at least one thing:
Critical editing was invented around 400BC at the Great Library at Alexandria.
This was around the time of Socrates and the invention of Socratic Argumentation.
Critical editing lies in looking at a work and rewording it to make it better express the meaning it is intended to deliver.
I reviewed, edited and revised this before posting.
Critical editing can replace whole paragraphs of vagary with one sentence of solid description or remove a nonsense sentence and replace it with an informative paragraph... it can even omit whole chapters.
Socratic Argumentation involves honest evaluation of one's own argument and a willingness to compare it to their opponent's argument and to be willing to accept parts of the opponent's argument and to reject parts of one's own if those parts show to better or worse describe the idea being argued over.
In a normal argument, one generally makes a bold statement and defends it to the end even if it is shown to be inherently false.
Two hundred years later, also at Alexandria, the scientific method was invented and this was done using the same essential rules of Critical Editing and Socratic Argumentation but based on claims about facts, and so leading to the invention of expermentation.
2,222 years later, give-or-take a week or a decade, Lee Smolin said:
"What is good for scientists to do?
"We have to be honest, we have to argue in good faith, we have to work from shared public evidence.
"Because it is so easy to fool ourselves, we develop crafts.
"Crafts of experiment, checking our experiments, checking our calculations over and over again to detect error.
"And, indeed, the training of a scientist is primarily a training in the detection and elimination of errors.
"It's not about ideas--lots of people have ideas and every once in a while there's a good idea--it's about showing that your ideas and other people's ideas are BAD ideas by finding errors.
"And a scientist is somebody who has a degree that basically consists in demonstrating that they have control over... mastery over a craft for detecting errors."~LS
Please do an image earch on your preferred search engine for:

What Lee Smolin did for engineers is inspire and inform me to inform you and show you this picture.

If space is reduced to spatial relations does that mean it’s impossible for there to be just one thing? If time is causal succession, when does this succession occur?
My best understanding is that time, sequence, and causality are the same, while space is a passive stage. Each moment creates the next moment. We don't travel through time, we proceed from event to event, cause to effect, endlessly. So, yeah, tell me how I'm wrong.

I like it. Or combine some other letters, still in order, and you get "Spam." I already get plenty of that anyway. If only we could get rid of it faster, but it's just a matter of "Spime." Well, time and matter too, I guess. lol
I would see it as the same thing as saying you live an hour away from somewhere in place of the distance. It takes time to cover distance so the two must be linked.
And mass (gravity) bends space time, this has been observed as time slowing. We can tell by measuring the speed of light being affected when measuring start light at solar eclipses. So for what he’s saying to be true, you’d have to assume speed of light isn’t constant and limit in universe as well. Or this is about as deep as my head can wrap around this listening with a beer in my hand. Interesting idea. Whoops didn’t mean to reply was just trynna post 🤭🤷♂️🤦
@@32kirby32 Speed of light is not constant everywhere in universe, it is affected by the environment that light pass through.
It cannot go faster than is limit in the void, but it can go slower... :)
(No beer in my hands, but my knowing of things is pretty much yours... if not lower) :P
You live an hour away as the crow fly’s, at what speed? There is no circumstance where you live X amount of time from location Y. It’s not possible.
I hypothesize that there are two measurements of duration, universal and relative. Relative duration is measured with respect to the relative nature of the duration of the forming of structures. Where universal duration is a constant measurement of the present tense duration of the progression of the evolution of the universe.
Wait wait wait, so does that mean, since matter has volume, and takes up space, that even matter itself emerges from the dynamic between events? I am also not clear as to what the definition of my understanding of pertinent “events” is.
waiiit wait wait 🤔 so, does this mean that we are actually, as individuals, as what we believe to be “human,” are actually just an emergent “manifestation” of the dynamic between a series of events? Does that mean nothing is real? What about the neurons in our brain? Those are physical things that have volume. That is how we think and engage with the world. Is that not the seat of our own individual consciousness? Is anything real and do we cease to exist when a set of dynamics dictates our neurons no longer take up space? Oh, good Lord this is why I went into Music.
WAIT!… if then our individual consciousness is emergent from a series of events as associated with taking up volume in space, is consciousness itself just a series of fleeting perspectives from moment to moment? Is there not an over arching consciousness from which that comes? I can’t even write music at this point. You guys broke me. …going to have to make a sandwich instead. if there is one thing I know to be real it is the perfect relationship between the volume and placement in space-time of meats cheeses and condiments on bread.
Consciousness creates this illusion of space-time

@sreekanth chintala
yes, consiousness is the overlooked looker,
behind the most powerful telescopic/microscopic lens eyepiece is a human eye, behind the eye is a human mind, or consciousness.
the telescope looks at the macro, the microscope looks at the micro, but how many people have bothered to look at the looker, conscious human awareness.

And the 'space' is derived from the causality of the interview.

The nexus is that they are both based on EM waves. Namely, Cesium-133 and Kypton-86. Alhough, I keep feeling barium plays in, perhaps in amplitude, idk. Barium could also be an unkown(to me)onemotepeia for a synonym.
If meditation reveals, then (General(s)...heed) time is a potential (i.e. amplitude) not a cause. These people, figures, that we know of from many years from their time have amplitude.
Yes, a level 5
This is why CZcams is so profound. My friends, family and even wife have 0 interest in this stuff yet I’m fascinated by it. Hearing such complex theories broken down into somewhat understandable terms is truly inspiring. The question is what caused the Big Bang and why? Why is there something and not nothing? I really believe we are part of a multiverse were infinite possibilities exist and this one maybe the only one that had humans as an outcome.
The BB ( big bang has no cause , since it never happened ) but the cause of BB in Astrophysics is mathematical . It can never actually happen , nor have happened .
There is something rather than nothing because nothing can never exist . Nothing is the absolute opposite to something . Something having three dimensional shapes that are measurable ( as all three dimensional objects naturally have ) and space . Which nothing does not have . Hence does not exist . Multi-universe yet to be shown to be true . Not impossible but yet to be true .
@@philharmer198 appreciate the response but if the Big Bang never happened how are we here? We think we can go back the start of the universe some 13 billion years ago. I’d love to hear your perspective.
@@coolguy1127
The Universe always is for infinity . BB has a beginning and end . And the end is to come to nothing or no thing . Which implies that something no longer exists for infinity . Which is impossible . Why ? Because nothing can never create something
, Why ? Because nothing is the absolute opposite of something . So nothing is not only dimensioness but also has no space .
@@philharmer198 so is your opinion that universe has always existed as the current state for infinity?
@@coolguy1127
Not in the current state . But otherwise . Yes , for me the Universe has always existed .
It's interesting to note how our level of consciousness is seldom equated into these observations....that time could be a result of our limited consciousness. The brain's evolution may require sequences of events (causality) to create reality rather than being able to perceive our universe as a unified whole. It seems that consciousness as the observer must be factored in. Thanks to Lee and Closer To Truth.
Space and time are not the same thing...space can exist without time...time cannot exist without consciousness...Consciousness and time are the same thing and we see it in the form of light...Light contains both time and consciousness.
psychobable. take it elsewhere or get sober
@@matttirado7661 Are you just making this up?
The PASSAGE of time is an apparent effect that our consciousness seems to generate - it's how we see things. But that does not mean TIME is created by our consciousness. Otherwise you'll have a hard time explaining how a billion years of time could pass before the first "conscious" animals evolved.
@@DavidByrden1 what part of the truth do you not like?...try and wrap your head around the fact that everything you see and touch is conscious...anything that can carry information is conscious...the big bang was conscious and Consciousness is eternal. ...Without it's math you will never be able to comprehend your world. Time is a different form of consciousness that can exist in a vacuum but will break down under the extreme pressure of infinitesimal gravity
I loved the simplicity of viewing physics as an infinite set of causalities. It seems to me that both space and time are emergent from that view. I was confused by how he contradicted himself in the end by separating time when it is perhaps even more derivative from causality analysis than space.
One must be good at that theory thing. And focusing too.
Most of our confusion is self-generated, and produced by a disconnection from the general theory of Common Sense, which doesn't need an expert to create in their free time.
I think it's about time to stop this philo-madness. It doesn't sound "profound" anymore, it nearly sounds ridiculous. Help my brain connect with my mind here: Where is all this "expanding space" expanding into? Anti-space? Conversation like this, even if they have more than 400 years of philosophy, (because let's get grounded here, it's all mental-matters, not our actual experience), it all sounds like a black hole for our common sense, interpreted as "profound deep inquiry". Do people actually get paid to sit on their couches and drool in their own thoughts. Strange occupation.
@@josephfreetimer1736 Great comment... and another thing I note too is this effort at attempting to have a unified field theory or what they've called "The Theory of Everything". It just appears the acedemics are trying to describe reality in mathematics and if it gives the expected results then given time passing, it must be true because the maths doesn't lie. (Does Dark Matter ring a bell here?) Yes, I know about Newtonian mechanics were superceeded by Einstein's Special and General theories we have today but this was all capable of being proven by scientific experiment. The leading candidate for the TToE is so-called 'String Theory' which is impossible to prove now and in the future.
I'll just return to my couch and sip on some tea and contemplate the expansion of the Universe, and get paid for doing so from the public purse.
Why did it end at that point when it seemed there was more to be said?
Cool. Thanks for sharing.
By the time people understand what he is talking about, there will so much space between us that it won’t make sense anymore!
Exactly!!! So just what did you learn???
The amazing thing is Robert understands what these people are talking about he should've be a physicist
This despite we know from relativistic clocks in satellite as compared with terrestrials R4 mixing time and space dimensions in one hyperspace is wrong as compqred to R3xR. There is a slight meaaured difference of 3rd order telativistic time...

The connection of moments is an illusion created by our own entropy.
Ok, But then why Can we mathematically predict certain event, why Can we make such precise forecasts?
@@7Denial7 I am referring to personal perception of moments in one's mind. The mind is linear. The universe is not. We can only predict those things that the mind can perceive. In effect the prediction is manifesting the outcome to some extent.
