Tell them they can get a new collider with profits from a working fusion reactor.
That's what the politicians should do, channel all this big bang why are we here? enthusiam into fusion, something that could actually work someday. And, the Germans need to fix those gas pipelines blown up by their so-called allies.
@@paulwolf3302 "Germans need to fix those gas pipelines blown up by their so-called allies."
That's never going to happen. The EU is heading for de-industrialization and probably resemble the 19th century
Lol for real
Just another 10 years...(been hearing that for a few decades) I remember reading a Popular Mechanics magazine when I was in high school in the 90s that said we were very close to a working reactor, just like how close we were to making life in a lab, or building a moon base...the money never stops, but the results never change...
@@allhopeabandon7831 And at the same time the maths department was screaming all the time: "Those underlying equations can't be tamed! We have actual proof for that!".
I'm so tired of everything being a scam and humans being so corrupt, just waking up in the morning and realising I'm still here is exhausting.
Poor you :(
The world is based on lies. Vedic texts knew all we needed to know. Thousands of years ago. Donald Hoffman has a video explaining how we hallucinate our reality. Survival drives evolution not truth hence your and mine dilemma. The answer is meditation
You need to sleep longer, dont get up that early!
Well said, and I share your sentiment.
Sad to say advanced physics is full of pompous a**es that simply want to show how smart they are while spewing propaganda like BS.
When you fund a problem majorly enough, it tends to create ways to never solve itself so that it keeps taking more funding
It is the same with climate science. Although the science is "settled", billions and billions of funding are out into it. You can not ask any questions. And yet every year, the IPCC selectively publishes vetted research in evermore catastrophic reports.
This is the way
Celebrity scientists have learned how to milk mass media, just like good Hollywood actors and the Kardashians.
They really do need to milk the Kardashians
It's great that someone is publicly calling these grifters out.
DARK MATTER
This is the type of drama content I never knew I needed.
I'm really liking this trend of physics coming to youtube, following you right now, the work of Sabine woke me up of a lot of stuff is happening in the field.
Soon they will get banned for hatespeach. Such is the way of things
They talk in that weird way politicians do, where they just skirt around an answer instead of actually giving one. It seems odd to me for scientists to be discussing things with language like this
The powerful one manipulates “truth” without opposition, the weakling has to help himself with lies.
Ahhh particle physics... it's the science of obtaining perpetual funding
Akin to Climate Change 'science'.
The collider method is violence. Please keep that in mind. Its brute force isn’t exactly taking atomic nucleus apart, but more like smashing or shooting it into pieces. Therefore, its results will likely be fragments of elementary particles rather than the elementary particles themselves. At least, it is inaccurate or even dishonest, unintentionally, of course, whether the they are talking about reality or their wishful thinking, a dream, or lying unconsciously, such as sleepwalking.
Nuclear fusion smells similar. Jobs for the boys...

How to oppress the populace?… spend their money on frivolous and misleading bullshit to prevent any real progress in society.
music to my ears.. someone who can see past arrogance and illusion
The title is so appropriate. These particle physicists are so much up themselves - how many of them at CERN? Over 2000 - don't worry about the poor, the hungry or homeless lets spend another 10 or 15 billion on a collider.
Weird logic, a 2000 employee company is not large. Should we buy another warplane or missile program with the money instead?
@@psyborg06 Very good logic. You don't spend 15 billion on a weird project and at the same time have poverty and homlessness. But don't worry about an equitable and well adjusted society - lets spend 15billion at Cern so 2000 employees can get excited about more powerful magnets.
@@IrfanAli-qp1gm What world do you live in, it happens all the time and at scales that make CERN look like pennies. That is my point, which you have missed.
That is a rather bullshit argument to make if you look at defense spending, which is orders of magnitude more. Elon musk paid roughly 4 times the cost of the LHC to buy Twitter!, and is now trying to convince the Tesla shareholders that he deserves roughly 4 times the cost of the proposed SCSC as bonus.
I like both you and Sabine Hossenfelder for your knowledge, information and opinions that you've shared online and especially for your truthfulness in calling out the BS you've seen in physics.
Sabine is awesome. She just made a video about how it’s slightly possible the particle accelerators could open a blackhole on earth but in he usual joking manner. I always had a problem with the accelerator or ers since there’s already more than one since they began building the latest. Some of the claims didn’t seem to be coming from actual physicist, like when on one hand the particles were said to be colliding at the speed of light and on the other side it’s stated the particles travel at the speed of light which would mean the impacts force is liken more to twice or near the speed of light just like 2 cars traveling at 50 KPH or MPH the impact is measured at 100 KPH or MPH. Presently I feel the same or hear results could be observed in the same manner using the same methods being procured presently in fusion reactor development, create a dab of particles in a deep vacuum at near sub zero temps on a nano scale concentrated upon a micro pinpoint heavily coated with a form of high strength material to encapsulate and preserve the sample , even in the same manner artificial diamonds are made or even an epoxy base and shoot high energy lasers at it in a containment surrounded by sensors for review. , it that works then tens of thousands of experiments using multiple forms of particles could get performed in less time then what the hadron collider is capable of. 🤷♂️ ask a physicist 😁
The Germans do like no bull shit
How could you compare him with Sabine?
@@rebellion-starwars It's not about comparing them, it's about the qualities that they share and which I like, mainly that they're both smart and honest about physics.
@@treasurepoem but you are comparing real scientist with fake one.
Someone who speaks with a permanent smile is generally someone to be avoided.
He just smiled in the beginning. And you gotta admit, there were a lot of bs arguments from that conference guy.
Kaku is a master fraud, paid well for sure.
@@En_theo hey pal if u do not understand the subject, it does not mean it is BS. just saying, food for thought.
Yes, that guy from MIT is very suspicious. He looks to be auditioning as a replacement for Brian Greene, etc.
@@silafuyang8675
The last few years I have seen Kaku say the most ...incredible bizarre things. Probably bought and sold, yes.
Large expensive projects which involve inscrutable financing are, quite understandably the only things politicians are comfortable funding.
We need more such projects, the more the better … because the only other thing which lines the right pockets with any comparable efficiency is … good old War.
The ultimate irony. Sad because it's at least partially true.
It's just money! But it's sinister that something like a huge potlatch is achieved by the largest detour through theoretical science. Scientific progress went along very well with the two world wars and the atomic bomb, but this comedy has all the signs of a scientific self-dismissal. Or is it just that the language of science has to serve all needs.
it was while I pondered double slit that a cockroach walked across the ceiling and belly flopped onto my dinner plate
building a space force to fight aliens also works
There has been a trend recently for naming publicly funded projects and infrastructure by online polling. If this is the case with the new collider I'm going to resist the urge to suggest 'Collidie McCollideface, and go instead with 'ADG' (Ambiguous Data Generator).
Correction- it should be AFG Ambiguous Funding Generator

As usual you are shining a beam of pure light on the pure drivel polluting our field of physics. Please keep on with your mission!
Good work asking these questions Prof!
What many of those scientists need to realise is that when a theory is build upon false or incomplete data, it stops being science.
What a wonderful video to start the year with! Happy 2023!
This kind of hubris is exactly why I pivoted from a degree in physics to a PhD in photovoltaics. At least what I'm working on now will have some consequence to the world.
photovoltaics rely on principles discovered by experimentation by material scientists and the discoveries of physicists.
Well, just be thankful during your pivot you managed to avoid Gender Studies....
...but enough about me!
and i, after a ph.d. in theoretical physics (not particle physics, but some arcana of filed theory) simply settled to teaching and appreciating undergraduate level physics....
My PhD is theoretical physics. I will be the one to usher in the paradigm shift, as well as other great people in this field. Gone will be the days of oafish quantum ways
it's like the military industrial complex in America--the establishment ends the careers of critics so that those who make money off the system can continue to do so.
Isn't MIC at least a bit more rigorous and grounded in reality as even lay people notice whether superior firepower was actually achieved? If you want some American analogies, I'd rather look towards some pathologies in soft science that do metastasize towards more rigorous fields.
Same thing happens in medicine too. Check out bad pharma by Goldachre
You have acquired a new subscriber👍 . One that was happy for building the LHC. But now there are way more important science projects to build at present. ❤
Also loved the line about continuing to improve the epicycles. What a classic! Am now subscribed.
Your commentary alone makes this video worth watching... both hilarious and sad. Your frustration is shared - keep up the hard-hitting skepticism!
Modern Physics is a new priesthood. Rather than counting how many angels can fit on the head of a pin in Ancient Latin. We now have quantum particles in indecipherable maths. Instead of stain glass windows, we now have the Webb images of the universe, and colliders rather than Cathedrals. I'm already a huge Sabine fan. Subscribed.
Next time you need a MRI go to a cathedral.
@@florincoter1988 My degree is in physics and OP is right. Science has become a sort of deified religion. There is huge issues underlying a lot of physics, and science in general.
Sun Scholar is a great channel; he points out the outdated notions of cosmology and astronomy that we still use only because those models were created 100 years ago and continuously built upon, so to start with something fresh and better always requires a paradigm shift.
For instance, the claim that stars are gaseous bodies is almost nonsensical; how can gas collapse? The gas density they claim that collapse into stars is literally what we would call a vacuum on Earth.
Stars are liquid, and their surface reflects that. You can see ripples, just like when a rock is thrown in a pond. Modern astronomers explain this away as an 'illusion' of which is caused by super complicated gaseous interactions. Occam's razor comes to mind
I could go on and on and on, and I have direct access to a lot of stuff at university, since my major was in physics and my ultimate goal is getting a PhD in theoretical physics.
LIGO is another joke; they aren't measuring what they think they are; the 'black hole' images are most jokes; no one can replicate their experiment, and when you read the methodology, you realize literally any image could've been extracted from the data they had. But they know the 'end goal' of what they want and adjust the mathematical coefficients until the desired image comes out.
That is what is going on in a lot of fields; just straight up fudging data or being really sly with it. This is why meta studies show that over 50% of all published scientific papers cannot be replicated, yet are taken as fact. THAT IS HUGE

I searched CZcams for "physicists in fantasy world" to find exactly this kind of video, and it knew exactly what I meant. Glad to see I found another channel with a firm grip on reality.
Good tip. Searching for anything that disagrees with the mainstream is difficult especially with all the new clone channels that are “flooding the market”.
@@jay.u I agree. Divide and conquer, or is it compartmentalize and capitalize.
The garbage it suggests for my kids is also disheartening to see.

The fantasy search didn’t have any decent results for me. But pseudo and out there did. Mostly still things that you have to read between the lines on, because it goes against the one telling the story.
nice confirmation bias
I majored in Physics as an undergrad, inspired by popular physics works like Hawking's and Brian Greene's books. You've articulated a lot of the doubts I had in school which caused me to eventually burn out and focus on pure mathematics.

New subscriber, enjoy when I find a scientist that actually does science. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
Welcome aboard!
The legit programs don't get funding, and the hard working scientists don't get credit.
Typically scientist analyze the data
Scientists is a relativistic term. Physicist is a proper title. Kinda like when a hurricane or a solar storm becomes the focus’s on mass media outlets and the anchor says “scientist say “a” is the cause of “c” upon examining “b” , could be a phlebotomist commenting about meteorological or Astronomy , a scientist told me 🤣
Looks like a lot of people who are interested in the natural world, are fed up with the nonsense coming out of modern physics.
We should be building a new society of naturalists, to discuss ideas that make sense.
The science of achieving perpetual funding
Man you almost gave me the creeps!
I'm also a physicist and struggle every day to understand this nonsense!
Thanks God I'm not alone anymore!
Now back to real physics!
Thank you so much!
You are 100 percent not a working physicist.
How do you think physics is going to progress?
I'm also a physicist, but I wouldn't presume to declare something I don't understand "nonsense".
Yeah, the entire consensus of the field says the opposite of what this dude thinks. Along with the the same following of barely educated, obviously mentally ill followers saying "OMG THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER YOU ARE THE BEST FAKE PHYSICIST EVER MAN!"
@Camptonweat I do understand. So sorry but I do fully understand. Never mind...
Gratitude for your argument and the comments, as these defend the skepticists among us, non-physicists. Unfortunately, non-physicists are essentially muted against "recognized scientific boards", and can raise no voice of objection, if the rest of the Physics community remains idle, in view of "ground-breaking scientific advances". Some do suspect that data science has over-aided scientific validation.
I enjoyed so much watching this.
Footnote: THANKS for this item. Appreciate what you did. Keep up the good work! Wissenschafts Filosofie at its best. Danke aus Holland.

Hi, not arguing with you. What other alternatives are there to figure out what matter is made of and how to prove existing of particles that constitute the said matter?
Thank you for your honesty, I've been arguing this for years.
Great information and truth about the ridiculousness of these type of projects given the expense involved but 10 to 1 it'll go through
Hi Jon s. I haven’t got even a subscription to ‘Owl’ magazine to speak to my qualifications to discuss the substance of this CZcams matter of importance, but I just like to pose the question here for consideration of other better trained minds;
So they keep building these things, and creating all this justification in the public domain. When no real public support is probably necessary to secure the funding. But is there any other potential or actual use these colliders can be directly used for or maybe adapted to perform that would help clarify why ‘we’ need to produce more of them??
The posting here provided is of course very important to debunk the premise that we need them, but I’m just wondering if it is about more than just career advancing prestige or money to those groups who supply parts and do the build and operate tasks.
They got that basketball spinning on one finger but all we are seeing is a blurry image of the surface not the mechanics (no pun intended?) of how this is possible.
Posted day 3/23 from Jen in Canada
This vieo gave me a good laugh ! Great job Herr Unziker !
Man, I love your videos exposing these guys
Prof Unzinker Rocks!
acc. to wikipedia he has no academic degree as Prof. just saying.
@@gl3906 Then check out Professor Hosenfelder who presents similar concepts.
These guys just need to say the new particle collider will be used to investigate the impact of the Higgs Boson on climate change, and they’ll never be short of funding.
It will sound funny, but there is research about impact of cosmic rays on the climate and/or whether formation. they have scientific papers published. :D it sounds out there, but they are doing estimation. think what you will.
@@zurabkepuladze3986 I remember hearing about an observed inverse correlation between clouds and cosmic rays. I don't know anything beyond that and in any case am not qualified to evaluate the merits of the theory. What I can say, even as a regular layperson, is that climate change research reeks of bias and corruption, and I'm skeptical of anybody who profits from it in any way. The people in this video remind me of them.
Fund research on how to enhance the atmospheric methane sink by mimicking natural processes? Nooooo! People might stop trying to reduce their carbon footprint. Bring on the tipping points!
if
Tipping point due to high altitude moisture? What do you think about jets leaving contrails made of water vapor at hogh altitude. These jet aircraft are spreading moisture right where we don't need it. They are gonna push us over the tipping point with their jet exhaust, isn't it so? An olypic swimming pool worth of jet fuel turned into water and then spread at altitude, thus accelerating climate change towards that runaway global warming.
Unzicker reminds us that if we unauthentically wallow in appearing 'smart' for an audience, we will ALWAYS be uncovered. Watch out!

Amazing breakdown... Well done ❤️🙏
Well done! A breath of fresh air!
long ago I played golf with the CEO of a company that received mega-sized contracts from the US govt on scientific and defense projects, so I asked him about the SSC (to be built in Texas long ago) and assumed he'd be very sympathetic and enthusiastic about its construction. He laughed and said "welfare for the over-educated". I was younger and naïve at the time, but now I understand.
And then all the money and worlds scientist went to EU. Is that a win?
this "no" decision would have been a win if gvt had put the money into a revised ORNL Thoruim-MoltenSaltReactor project (now actually Shanghai grabbed the baton; see GordonMcDowell's CZcamss).
A high temperature MSR couldn't just produce Hydrogen (cheaply) and electricity, it could supply process heat to refineries, chemical industry, and cement ovens! With that source of heat available today (not in 30 years) it would be economical to extract tar sands now and then in 30 years to do CO2 capture and make high quality, sulfur-free diesel and gas from H2CO3 and CO2.
I live near a well known taxpayer funded national lab - his description was dead on LOL!

'Epicycles...' at 25:04. Did you notice the seconds of silence before everyone burst into laughter. Funny... and true. Thanks Alexander. I'm rereading your book, Einstein's Lost Key, digesting the work of Dicke. Interesting, and I like that someone questioned General Relativity. What I find odd is that no one seems to have identified the oddity that the universe somehow knew it was going to require such complexity, at the origin.
Yes I did. Was a funny moment.
The complexity is created by mankind and a lot of physicists seem to revel in it.
However the basics must be unbelievably simple.
And the conclusions inevitable.
@@janhemmer8181 No. It is well known in modern mathematics that in fact most of the questions out there don't have a solution, which can be encompassed by a relatively limited tool such as our mind. Non analytic functions are all over the place. Badly adjusted inverse problems with inherent instabilities are all over the place. Undecidability theorems are all over the place. And then add a plenty of unsolved fundamental questions on which whole disciplines are built in to the mix.
It's not accidental, that we see already since at least two or maybe even three generations the stagnation of fundamental sciences. In my opinion this is one of the reasons more and more of science is drifting in to the semi-religious obscure. If you can't provide real results under pressure, you start to try to BS your way out. Fundamental human nature applies to everyone: scientist too.
@@rosomak8244and yet we see structure and order despite all the chaos we clutter ourselves with. Even black holes have their purpose. I agree with the above comment. The basics must be very simple.

If I'm not mistaken, Lawrence Krauss said in one of his lectures that he couldn't pray without the Hadron Collider. This might have something to do with them needing another one and suggest that Quantum theories are religious to them as well.
I've been a fan of ken wheeler for years so seeing the title of your video made me EXTREMELY CURIOUS.
I may edit this comment after Iw atch this video.
Thanks for very nice (and funny) topic. 👍
Let them build jet another huge particle accelerator. It would be interesting to see what they do when the Higgs "signal" would turn out to be not demonstrable there. Wait a moment. I know already: such a confirmation experiment will be declared to be not cost effective and never done.

It is far more likely they will blow up the Earth or irradiate everyone than discover anything new with a new particle accelerator.
@@Boobeinstein Yes. A Particle has never actually been demonstrated. Just some noise in decay sequences roughly fitting assumptions and ignoring anything not fitting them was presented as actual discovery.

Thank you for explaining why the two teams found different energy levels. Then even worse it turned out the two teams did communicate. Yet these things were waved off and the discovery was announced. So we are to understand that lack of rigor was allowed because their funding was at stake.
Its like a religious orthodoxy...thank you for challenging this.
Is it now? It is more akin to the papacy of the reformation. all about the money.
Mr. Unzicker you have a sense of humor like the great german-american actor Christopher Waltz!! i just came across your channel and am really enjoying the content
I appreciate this video. subbed.
Hello!
I appreciate putting theories into question, thanks for the perspective. Anyway I dont see the contradiction of a theory being succesful yet incomplete. Newtonian mechanics is incomplete, but it still was a very succesful theory.
Regarding the monetary question: There is so much public money spent on war, and probably other unfruitful endeavours I don't even know about, that investing in particle colliders might be one of the least harmful things to spend it on? And who knows, even if chances might be low, they could still discover something new!
His comments really show a lack of understanding of the theory of the Standard Model (SM). The SM is one of the most rigorously tested models in physics. It describes the universe and particle interactions with quantitative predicted outcomes. The derivation of the SM incorporates the interaction of the bosons and fermions. A number of these interactions have been tested. However, certain interactions or particle properties are not predicted by the original SM derivation. Therefore, these are the extensions which he referenced. And while he claims extensions mean "bad physics", it's simply that these interactions were not included originally. For example, if the SM initially included the assumption of massive neutrinos then we would call the massless version "an extension". Or, similarly with Dirac vs. Majorana. Anyway, long comment, but I appreciate your comment on the Newtonian mechanics success and incompleteness.
"Lack of understanding of the SM" = not being brainwashed. I am glad my comments show that.
@@jamie11637 The Newtonian mechanics where not incomplete in any sense of the word. It is the extension of the observed realm several centuries later that has driven us to the development of augmenting theories. This is a significant ontological difference.
I can't speak for the rest of your comment.
But you're implying that since huge amounts of money is wasted on useless wars, that means it's okay to spend huge amounts of money on other potentially useless stuff since it's less harmful.
That's a silly argument. It's like saying oh well I just stole a 1000 bucks, the other guy on the news stole a million. Don't come at me.
Make a case for how the money isn't being wasted. This whole concept of money is being wasted elsewhere so let's not complain about this waste is just... so silly.
We could also reduce taxes.
Or diversify 10 billion into a thousand potential projects that only require 10 million of funding. Possibly fusion, thorium or battery related research.
It’s excruciating for you isn’t it? Love your delivery and the fact your not in the hive minded group. I don’t even know the extent of mathematics you know and I feel your pain just listening to it.
brilliant video sir thank you
Thanks, I’ll definitely get the book!

Wow! You have no idea how much I've enjoyed this, you are a breath of fresh air in the science landscape, and I'm sure you are considered an heretic by academia, which for me is always a sign of someone being a step ahead. I'm not a physicist by the way, I'm a self taught phylosoper and researcher on the origins of civilization, I'm a true skeptic, meaning I question everything and I'm ready to accept as much, as opposed to the cult of skepticism led by people like Shermer that questions anything that isn't part of the consensus, and accepts anything as long as it's part of the consensus.
I loved every point you made here, it is pure common sense, everything you say I've said myself, and the usual response is that I don't understand physics and I should get a PhD before opening my mouth, a fantastic argument, that in real life would make having any conversation impossible, I mean, can we talk about cars without being mechanics? Can we talk about music without being musicians?
Anyhow, I'm very happy I've found your channel, thank you for the great content and the honest approach to science.
Anything with Brian Cox involved with it... I automatically know it's Total bullshit. Dude believes in time travel for ducks sake.
It would be interesting to check how much money we spent really per year e.g. for colliders, for astro physics, for nuclear fusion or for semiconductor research or maybe AI (by government and commercially). And compare it to lobbying and bureaucracy.
Which book of his was it? Years ago I was watching an interview between David Berlinski and Peter Robinson discussing this very topic: the scientific overreach at public expense, and the example given was yet-another billion dollar super collider. I could go on and try to pull up some pithy quotes of Berlinski, and Berlinski quotes are the pithiest quotes possible, but the answer is always the same: 'It's just so damned interesting [to us] another ten billion dollars please.'
Particle physics is like smashing repeated wine glasses to find stems and bases and then claiming something new.
So, the only question I have is what do YOU suggest to do? Should we all abandon our hopes to improve the models of hadronic interactions, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions? Should we all get fired and start making videos for youtube? Should we cancel our hopes to reach the center-of-mass energy in collider experiments equivalent to highest energies of cosmic rays, so the problem like muon puzzle will never be solved completely? No QGP studies at higher energies to get the clear signals of it formation, to study the higher PT region? No search for deviation of rare decays branching? Leave everything as it is with current models not being able to describe inclusively all processes that happen at high energies?
What I see in examples you have shown, is the struggle to provide the simple explanations of the problems that are studied now. And yes, the stars couldn’t shine with different electron mass, and yes, it is both good to see whether the standard model make a correct prediction or we observe something that directly contradicts it.
It is easy to criticize, but it would be much better to see the proper suggestions and solutions.
Just because we don’t have somewhere better to throw mountains of money doesn’t mean we should throw it in a hole.
@@lkytmryan Oh yeah? So that’s why it is better to leave thousands of brilliant minds without jobs and that’s why Europe is wasting billions in bs like global warming fight with “climate lockdown” and “clean energy” and sending useless military equipment for a proxy war in Ukraine?
@@user-yp6vv3th8i Europe has a the largest collider in the world and they are still wasting billions on climate change so I don't know what you are talkin about.
Those 1000s of brilliant minds can surely figure out some way to make money, otherwise, how brilliant could they possibly be?
@@lkytmryan Of course they can figure it out. The question is, is it better for them to waste their potential in doing useless money earning, like making youtube videos, or try to achieve our goals? If it is okay to waste money in something non-scientific, why not to “waste” it to science?
Dr. Unzicker, I've been a viewer of your channel for quite a while now and I must say, you're remarkable and amazingly lucid. It would really help if I could get your e-mail address for elaborate discussions and keep myself updated. You're a person I highly admire, so it would be nothing less a dream to interact with you, very eager to hear from you...
I've deep interests and curiosity in the same fundamental questions that you pursue...
Feel free to get in touch via ChannelInfo. Do not be disappointed however in case I might be unwilling to discuss specific theories...
Great channel. Thats science, challenge the mainstream ideias.
@Unzicker's Real Physics
Thank you, much respect. 🙏
It's so interesting to see physicists disagreeing with each other on the cutting edge of high-level knowledge. But it's easy to see human nature involved in getting grant money by many of the same people. Thank you, professor. Quite entertaining.
Glad you liked it. I am Dr., not Prof. btw.
@@TheMachian The irony is I can make energy more efficiently than a nuclear power plant using Extremely high decibels from a sound driver...
@@TheMachian professor of 'neuroscience' by the way, which... doesn't have much of a connection to theoretical physics. I wonder how much of this you actually understand...?
That dark matter is unfalsifiable needs to be shouted regularly. That the physicists sound like the very worst new age gurus should be an embarrassment. But they need money for their next toy, so shame is something a salesman has no time for.
Imagine brazenly postulating an entity and defining it as undetectable, and then saying that's science.
That's like me not understanding how a car engine starts, so I postulate car starting pixies, oh but you know, they're undetectable, but you can detect their effects, the fact that the car engine is starting.
@@cunjoz in college when I first learned of "dark energy" I asked how well will this theory go over if they called it angels. At that point I knew they were just making it all up.
@@loulasher holy shit i just remembered that the medieval scholastics thought that angels are responsible for the movement of the heavenly bodies. just as valid as dark matter/energy
@@cunjoz right!?!? It's like we just replaced one vocabulary with another. When I was younger I read a bit of Aristotle and then some Plato. They used what they had to reason out a lot. While there are some glaring errors (lack of a scientific method or use of experiments being not the only problems) they and the later stoics were certainly onto something, as were the medieval scholastics who, in counting angels on pins or (better) pondering first causes and thinking teliologically, were dealing with fundamental things as best they could. I just don't like dismissing great minds from the past like we're smarter just because there's more data now as if there's also not more bs (let alone nominalism and subjectivism) to shift through also. Especially in seeing things teliologically, it's a more formal, logical, and better version of the new age "we're all connected maaannnn, you can't seperate cause from effect or matter from empty space. Like where do you end and I begin" nonsense.
@@loulasher of course. they worked within their framework and they did their best.
Love this. Thanks. Just wondering if subtitles would be possible? 👍
This reminds me of evidence-based science I've read in The Universal Model: A New Millennial Science by Dean Sessions; these videos are possibly similar to volume 3: The Universe System, a soon to be published text book in the collection.
Sorry to go on a tangent, but I just came accross some of your other lectures. What I would be interested to know is what factors cause the variance of speed of light in a vacuum? Can the speed of light in a medium be derived without experiments and without index of refraction (through a purely theoretical framework)?
According to Einstein's 1911 VSL idea, masses cause c to decrease. The mechanism however, remains unclear. if you solve it you probably have solved QG.
Hi, I remember the hype related to the LHC years ago, and one of the examples that was repeated in media over and over and over again was that the science behind LHC (or particle physics) is what enabled the development of MRI machines that save thousands of lives. Now, you pointed here out that particle physicist tend to presents results from other fields as their own (or at least, being enabled by their research), so I was wondering, was collider science crucial to the development of MRI, or is just standard physics already covered by research in other fields?
It is propaganda that colliders enabled MRI. If ever, the contributed to the technique of generating strong magnetic fields.
@Unzicker's Real Physics Thank you for your reply. Related to strong magnets, I see that more as an engineering challenge, in the realm of applied science; even if strong electromagnets were first designed for a colider, it's a bit disingenuous for them to claim the MRI for their field.
MRI pioneer Raymond Damadian was a 6 literal day creationist , weird huh
The compartmentalization at LHC is just begging for an inner circle to cook up positive results too
If the results found there where truly fundamental, we would see independent replication by other huge nations like China, the US or Japan or maybe even India. Jet for some reason none really bothers.
Unzicker just continues to demolish the zicking of mainstream physics!
This is amazing
Thanks for the video. When the great reset happens you will get your bank account frozen for mocking them
instead of an new accelerator, in my opinion, we should verify the Copenhagen interpretation of the quantum theory, i.e. study the entaglement for larger masses and their gravitational behavior, check whether randomness really exists - try to check the repetition of physical experiments s on a very small scale etc
Oh No!! Not being able to REPEAT the Results!! Not Checking Your Work!! Not Proof Reading the Math Used?? Not making sure they aren't pulling another 'Hocky Stick' garbage math formula like the one that started the Global Warming Political Gold Mine. Don't Say you don't TRUST them.. lol
Pilot wave is more interesting.
A side thought, related though to your subject: more ought to be done on availability (sharing) of original research data: most often they are not published. More also on detailed reporting of details of experimental procedures so it is easier to repeat them. More on detailed description of computer simulations - mostly it is not possible to repeat them due to the lack of these details (authors are often not even aware that some details play a huge role)
@@AroundPhysics yeah like the metrology labs should release their data about the physical constants. They are constant, right?
@Zbigniew Koziol worked with research scientists while they tried to organize their work in a presentable form for lectures, presentations to groups, and publications. Original data usually isn't collected in a way that can be included in a published article. Too bulky. Nor do most scientists have any understanding of basic computer programs. They turn over data to the IT folks and wait. Particularly in Physics. Renaissance Minds are extremely Rare.
Has there been a greater waste of money than building the large hadron collider?
So happy you are questioning this fiasco. Lets have a new standard model theory - one that actually explains nature.
