The Weirdness of Physics with Brian Greene
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 06. 2024
- Bestselling author and award-winning physicist Brian Greene will discuss the cosmic philosophical implications of modern physics. What are we to make of quantum physics, with its paradoxical descriptions of reality; or of string theory, with its claims that there are 10 or more dimensions; or of the seeming implication of modern physics that time travel is possible? Is “scientific materialism” really an apt description of the worldview of modern physics? Is there room for free will and for purpose in the universe science is revealing? Greene will be joined in this discussion by Robert Wright, Union’s Visiting Professor of Science & Spirituality.
About The Insight Project:
The Insight Project (Insight) is a new multi-year program series that explores modern conceptions of theology and spirituality through a diverse array of thought-provoking lectures, screenings, performances, and on-stage conversations. At its core, Insight seeks to redefine our understanding of theology, not simply through the reformulation of doctrine but through a reframing of imagination. This conceptual turn requires that we give significant attention to social sciences, the humanities, and even the hard sciences. In its inaugural year, Insight programming will focus on Theology & the Natural World
I could listen to Brian Greene talk forever.
same here....
He did this cool interview on this channel recently it’s called Brian Greene: A life in physics it was great!
maybe not haha
Cox and others , i am a little weary of rockstar physicists.
Sameeeeeeeeee he’s my favorite modern scientist
I never miss listening Brian Greene.He is one the greatest physicist of new generation.I read all his books written by him.I will go on listening him forever.
1:02:55 f*** your political jokes Brian how's Joe Biden going for you
That was really interesting, thank you! In solving a mystery, the axiom is often, "Follow the money." In solving the mystery of life, Brian's axiom is, "Follow the math." He even reiterated it at the end when answering a more esoteric question about extra dimensions and the many worlds theory with, "I'm perfectly happy to go in strange directions as long as the mathematics are taking me there." You've got to love someone who's just as excited abut the journey as he is the answers, you know?
I am aware that I'm aware, so i must be aware that I'm aware of my awareness.
Me can listen talking of the brian greene forever
Brian handles this so well, the interviewer doesn’t come across too well tho!!
Brian i can listen to him forever ,Ralph, shut up , please ,thank you.
Ralph?
You keep my mind alive now at 82 , Thank you
Can someone digitally erase Wright from this video and re upload it? Thanks.
Same feeling....Im tired of forwarding😂😂😂😂
@@santhoshv6233 good luck comprehending the answers if you can't listen to the questions
your question is just as annoying, put downs were for elementary school!
@@jair2454
You just called me annoying and then said that put downs were for elementary school. Not even including the semantic failure of your comment-- _"for elementary school"?_ -the hypocrisy alone is pretty funny. And you punctuated your incoherence with an exclamation point as if to yell your nonsense at me. You're really bad at this.
I tuned in for Brian. I tuned out because of the narrator.
I hope you got paid well for this one Brian.
The host keeps saying, "um". Pretty annoying. Brian on the other hand speaks very well.
i didn't notice. may be because brian has an internal monologue practicing all da tym
Thanks
One example of Brian Greene's genius has just been demonstrated in regard to the discussion on consciousness. Which shows that Brian's explanation was completely overlook what Brian just said and went on to say said that it is a means of survival. A survival technique and it evolved for such a purpose. Where as the other talker went on to say he didn't see any real purpose known, for consciousness, except some sort of esoteric meaning. I am such a Brian Greene fan after hearing over 100 interviews, podcasts, Science festivals etc. and not in one of them did he and I not resonate 100%
The above was completely typed wrong. This is what I said. One example of Brian Greene's genius was just demonstrated in regard to consciousness. He proceeded to say that consciousness was a process by which it was formulated as a means of survival, as in a survival technique developed that helped with that. The other talker went on to say that consciousness was some sort of esoteric way of being.
man I remember when Brian Green wore the leather jackets and had no gray hair.
Ken Havens It's nuts. We've watched him grow. Sniffle. ❤
Still handsome as ever ☺️
Me too. I love his books. Very good reading.
He did this cool interview on this channel with one of his students recently it’s called Brian Greene: A life in physics it was great!
man, that was way back when he only had two E’s in his name!
I was in love with this, my time in BC March 11, 2022. Sending love, light, enlightenment, positive affirmations, and hugs that heal. I have so many things I could share. Sharing is caring. You guys are brilliant 👏
12:57am
Read all Brian’s books love it
Brain Green is THE MAN! The discussion in this video was remarkable and captivating. Loved it! Just as a side note... I love the comment about the dad taking the controls in 2016! But, the information and discussion was remarkable!
A. 20:40 "never ever be surprised" - exactly the oposite: in every world one is surprised
B. Measurement shows us where the particle WAS. The particle is always moving so it is uncertain where it is until it is measured, after measurement it is moving again so uncertain position again
..aaand maybe the particle itself is like a bunch of something and the probability of particle being there or there means only that one part of that bunch is there, another there .. and the measurement causes the particle just pop up as one bunch
Audio good at 28:30.
It was a great discussion. Each person was challenged just enough to create a forward motion. Reminds me of the McKenna/Sheldrake/Abraham trialogues. Really good
What's the name of the host?
All these discussions leave the most important question in Quantum Physics; why does the particle becomes a particle when observed. The observations during the double slit experiment were clear: a single particle creates a interference pattern when passing through the two slits, clearly showing it travelled as a wave. But when the scientists installed the measuring device to see what’s going on, the particle becomes a particle and the interference pattern disappears: why?
My favorite quote of all time is from Dr. Greene who said about time and space that “we are all part of a strange reality” and I have added this “which no one hasn’t understood and will never be”. Truly speaking, time and space are really two strange and weird phenomena which can’t be understood. Think about it! As far as the host is concerned, he wants to be Dr. Greene and living in a denial about it. 🥴
Perfect! There was some tension between the two, as there should be. I think the encapsulating moment was John Horgan's question and Greene's response that physicists will go on with 'the weird' because that's where the math takes them, and that evolution will eventually make us either adjust or smart enough to make less weird. Robert Wright's advocacy for less intellectual hubris and more mysticism (ie accepting that some things will never be understood) were justifiable counterpoints.
What justification is there for the notion that some things will never be understood? Science is the opposite of hubris. Science seeks to answer questions and is always admitting error and self correcting. Religion is the epitome of hubris with claims of infallible knowledge that can't be challenged or questioned. There is no place for mysticism in science and making a statement like "some things can't be known" is silly.
Wow. If you ever want a demonstration of how someone acts when they can't stand another person... you have it here. Wow. Don't know how Brian got through this (thought of the money? Was doing someone a favour? Had no choice?) and obviously have no idea the reasons for his distaste of his interlocuter... but pretty uncomfortable to watch.
Aside: I love BG so much. Simply an incredible 'teacher' and a human in possession of an amazing character. Such a fox too - which never hurts :-)
Where did he talk of free will ?
Candid. Splendid Greene. I cannot get some sleep. Want more of his honest, eloquent replies.
If the Many Worlds hypothesis was correct, would I not have multiple consciousnesses? This is not the case as we only have one unique consciousness. Also how would Q.M. work, given that a particle in a state of quantum superposition, can only be determined, once an observation is made, this implies a unique singular consciousness.
Brian is a bad ass
setting each 🏃
Good man, Brian Greene! At 10:52 he says that he teaches his students a less popular view (which may or may not be a correct view) ... so his students are fully informed!
He is not the only one

Electron orbital described. In terms of speed and location. Hydrocarbon proton and electron spin is it up or down. We don't know. If we put the molecule in a strong magnetic field the electron and protons are all oriented in one direction and when the field is removed they return to normal and release radio wave energy. Unique to the electronic environment. The construction of a molecule and all of protons release a radio frequency pattern unique to the molecule. Nmr or MRI imaging.
Did he talk of free will?
Brian Greene at 1:29 gives the most beautiful explanation of our reality, which immediately helped me with my continual and confounding pondering of religion. I personally believe that science holds, or will hold, the answers and explanations to the universe but have always had a difficult time figuring out why people still believe in religion (to put it simply) when science can now explain so much. He has helped me to see how and why you can have both. There are foundational scientific and mathematical equations, the rock bottom, as he puts it, that work toward explaining how our world works, however within our everyday lives, for thousands of years, we operate on different levels of thinking and perspective. A different reality I think he says. It’s like we ‘create’ (no free will) our own world of beauty (he mentions art and poetry and writing), social ideas, cultural norms, and yes, religion.
I feel like I’m standing at the edge if the world looking in and it’s totally fascinating.
THIS IS NOT A LIE: When i was young i played yatzy with my sisters, and suddenly i got the urge to try to affect the outcome of the dices and get yatzy (all dices same value) 50 times in a row. AND i MANAGED that 50 times in a row, and not only that, i could determine what value i wanted in my yatzy (meaning sometimes i wanted yatzy in 6's sometimes in 3's etc. I know it is insane, but im not lying. The only reason i could do this is because we live in a kind of fantasyuniverse, where all your good wishes comes true. So if you want to be a scientist and study hard because you so wanna be one, you get to be one, as long as your highly motivated doing it. Its like the universe gives you everything you need for what you need, as long as you convince yourself everything is possible. But the other thing i have noticed is that my brain most of the times work as a computer, like im a sort of AI (artificial intelligence),,but if its god, then god sometimes influence my brain and sometimes my consciousness,,thats how I feel it. To me consciousness and the brain arent synonymous with eachother. To me it seem there is 2 consciousness's,,1 is your own, 1 is god's, then there is your brain (which is your own), then its mind which prolly is god's brain. And sometimes we use gods mind sometimes our own mind which is our brain and sometimes we use our own consciousness (ego consciousness) and sometimes we use god consciousness. AND THIS IS SPOOKY LMAO IF IT IS TRUE THAT IS -.-
no
You got it half right! Just leave out God and substitute you 100% and you'd be right all the time.
Now studying people actions and predictable outcomes so if you look at strategy in use now watch for instance maybe 12 months ago I said to a person that I would raise there business value and exactly how I would do it with only now and again taking action

Someone tweets a question, and. they answer the question that they wish had been asked....
Can anyone explain please, why they use the term "instantaneously" instead of "instantly"? I hate the word instantaneous.
Because instantly insinuates an instant being between when one thing happens and the next. However instantaneously shows that they happen at the same instant. It is a difference between what each of those words actually mean at their core.

Brian is great, Robert is annoying and I'm having trouble listening because he's so annoying.
"I have a *different theory about that"
Right knowing the weight of the universe, if all that matter came together would there be enough space in one atom to accommodate the whole of the universe should that be vacated of its space, in effect all electrons and core elements are touching. If not how small must our origin have been, if considering the size..all those mighty scientist state we exploded from a single point. Is that true? Or must that be bull?
Only 3 minutes into the interview and I’ve heard this fellow say “um” enough times to make me want to throw my phone at the wall.
😂😂😂
does anyone else notice how the interviewer is being passive aggressive towards Brian Green?
nobody likes their god to be shown to be imaginary.
WHERE EINSTEIN WENT WRONG REGARDING WHAT IS BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE:
Get a good look at the blue sky. Get a good look at what is THE EYE. Consider the man who is standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Balanced BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE is the reason that objects AND MEN fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution.) "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!!!!!! It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense, AS BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand !!! Think QUANTUM GRAVITY !!!!!!!!!!!

I love you
Just noticed that the interviewer keeps his legs spread apart, in a move to assert dominance; good luck.
Quantum physics is a branch of knowledge that led humanity to further question the present notion and deeper meaning of reality, including its related concepts such as time, consciousness, and information. Therefore, it has proved once more that human knowledge, as an instrument to beget deeper knowledge of things, has its own limits; because, after after 2,000 years of human endeavor toward this end, since the time of Aristotle, Plato, and Phytagoras, a definite answer regarding the meaning of these concepts have not yet been fully satisfied. I would take it, as an affirmation that religion and science are still of the same and equal .alternative to explain the purpose and meaning of human existence; so that God's revelation (the Bible) could not yet, or should not be excluded in our search for the real meaning and purpose of life.
Got dam everyone on YT comments really sucking up Brian
Probability field: High probability that your day will be shit.
Omg I wish the comment section would stop worrying about HOW debaters are debating all the time, and start focusing on about WHAT
they are debating about. It shows one thing. That as long as someone is saying something in an eloquent way??
Then youll clap at whatever garbage they throw at you.
I wonder how many of you can actually tell someone WHAT each of them was talking about.
SUPPORT DR. UMAR JOHNSON ABSOLUTELY.

Brian Greene is amazing.

Sir Brian Green is one of the incredible theoretical physisist of the modern era. In addition to this he is a great human being. May he live long and enlighten the world as he used to do.
that other guy is annoying
Magnetic pulse in space & is there a vaccum which has magnetic property or can vaccum have magnetic property 😢.. Brian Sir
I'm with Mr Green and I'm glad I cannot understand any of this...
Every one of these interviews, everything that I can find on CZcams of quantum physics, or a physics nature, needs one more element involved. And nobody mentions it. If the universe is infinite, why does everybody think large? Look at the sub basis. How far smaller then electrons and protons can we see? However, you will experience a very long wait until we get to get the answer to everything, and There's only one way that we will know the truth about everything. That's when we reach the end of small. Good luck everybody.
With entanglement, one particle *is not* "influencing" the other *instantaneously* . With special relativity, one is not causing the other. Blunder of both.
I see they tried to correct that. But now they are talking about the particles being in superposition of two values. However, that is dependent on the chosen measurement basis.
TIME DILATION IS FULLY EXPLAINED, AS THE ULTIMATE MATHEMATICAL UNIFICATION OF PHYSICS/PHYSICAL EXPERIENCE IS CLEARLY PROVEN:
A PHOTON may be placed at the center of what is THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. (The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky.) Time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that electromagnetism/ENERGY IS GRAVITY, as C4 is a POINT that is ELECTROMAGNETIC/GRAVITATIONAL (ON BALANCE) as SPACE; AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Time DILATION proves that electromagnetism/ENERGY IS GRAVITY, AS E=mc2 is DIRECTLY and fundamentally derived from F=ma. E=mc2 IS F=ma. A planet AND a star thus constitute what is A POINT in the night sky. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY. ACCORDINGLY, I have ALSO fully explained the MATHEMATICAL UNIFICATION of Einstein's equations and Maxwell's equations (GIVEN THE ADDITION OF A FOURTH SPATIAL DIMENSION); AS E=mc2 IS F=ma. The Sun AND the Earth are F=ma AND E=mc2. Great. SO, ultimately and truly, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. AGAIN, time DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 is F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Great. Indeed, this NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE. (E=mc2 IS F=ma.) Therefore, INSTANTANEITY is thus FUNDAMENTAL to what is the FULL and proper UNDERSTANDING of physics/physical experience; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. SO, GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. MOREOVER, a given PLANET (including WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out equal areas in equal times consistent WITH/AS E=MC2, F=MA, AND what is perpetual motion; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. "Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=MA; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GREAT !!! It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. E=mc2 IS F=ma. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED ELECTROMAGNETIC/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) E=MC2 IS F=ma. Objects fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. E=MC2 IS F=ma. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. Magnificent !!!

Talking about God is difficult in so many ways,besides being such a personal and intimate topic.
And has no meaning to the science at hand. You want to talk philosophical, i am all for it. But don't use a plumber to talk about baking.
As a plumber and a baker I say yay science fuck God
We also can travel as a wave and can fly the cosmos I can fly through seemingly solid objects can collapse my wave into a solid being and so can you.... but they will never tell us this truth
Why should space, energy/mass, be the only self-existent, eternal stuff. Why not a spectrum of intelligence /consciousness that becomes the manipulator of all else. So, all fall somewhere on an intelligence/ consciousness probability curve. You are what you are and on your own eternal path to increase. You just can't remember until the eternal you moves to the greater existence from whence you came. Millions attest to this greater parallel existence that have gone there and returned or have otherwise tasted, as I have, of the greater reality. (It was for me a stunning, very real and material experience that blows away doubt and removes fear of death.) We in this heavy matter physical earth life body suit, as it were, for the most part have been intentionally blinded to past life in our other lighter matter life body. That light body allows us the senses to experience the light matter realm. This blindness is for wise reasons to have genuine, effectual education for our own increase. The future and past are infinite for us all. All is known, as life and learning have gone on forever. Enjoy eternity!
In the many worlds it’s a shame I keep winding up in this ho hum hum drum version where I haven’t even hit the lottery yet.

Uuuhm...
Past 30years I spent to find the answer for simple question that is what is Time?And now the answer I found keep me awake all night. If Brian Greene give two hours I will answer up to his total satisfaction. Otherwise I will publish a book sooner for all who curiously looking for answer. Thanks.
Public you damn book, dude
Not Brian Greene was impossible to listen to. His connections were so convoluted.
I swear to God that ever video with Brian Greene has a thumbnail that is never from the same video. Is it that hard?
At about 1:09:00 I realized that these two are annoyed by each other 😆

I am a big fan of Brian Greene.I want to mention future listeners about some issues that actually are settled but unknown to both of talkers. At least one. About Quantum Entanglement. Quantum Entangled particles is like an inertial web. Or more commonly known as the relativistic web. For example Two photons entangled are in relativistic commutative state. It is like a Complex Zero plus cancelled terms(numbers)for balance. Whenever you take out some cancelled terms (numbers) other cancelled terms(numbers) starts popping out but still could be cancelled no matter how far you take these two Quantum entangled photons. So clearly the strangeness of Quantum Entangled particles lied in our ignorance of This complex zero carrying or transporting inertia of matter through spacetime. Thanks.

Per your perspective
One thing I don't get is how much can you see thru Math? Because Math is a science of patterns, so if you are looking for a single incident, singularity, how are you going to find it using Math? Single incidents have no Math !
In a coordinate plane many real situations make sense in quadrant 1, let's say if you compare shoes with money point (2,20) means 2 pair of shoes cost $20 , ...but what do you make of point (-2,-20) ? The math is still right, but you can not argue that anytime you said no to buying a pair of shoes, you owed $20 to the store?
Math describes many things in our universe but it falls short to articulate a sound argument for origin and purpose, that's what Philosophy and Religion are for, and Greene is up in the air denying purpose ....because math describes some aspects of our world.
What if light multiplyes by 10 in the everage speed of 300000KM/S? cause light is the form that the cosmos comunicate from north to south and viseverse as seen in DNA in a photo found in you tube: DNA PHOTOGRAPHI BY X RAY DIFRACTION. it shows that red spots in the red orbit(the farthest orbit) they entangle oposite sides all crossing same medle center in such a figure that you can find worked out in you tube with the name: THE FLOWER OF LIFE OR DNA DECODED, it contains to much info. when you get to know it well.

"Consciousness" might just be an organism reacting to its environment.
If we humans dont think animals like a cow can be conscious we are way out there. Take a look at a video where the farmer let out the cow after the winter/spring time and see how happy those cows are comming out from the farmhouse or whatever its called..id call that conscious moments, THEY ARE HAPPY! and that is an emotion, just like we have, and its even more vivid than our own when we come out after spending wintertime inside. Have you seen humans jumping arround at first summerday like the cows? lol are cows more conscious than us...prolly
Well done; thank you for pointing this out.
There is just one fucking good comment in this comment section(not me)
Brian Greene is an absolute master at explaining very complex issues. Simply put, he is a joy to listen to. (As an aside, my hope is that one day in the evolution of our species we will be able to talk about scientific reality without constantly trying to shoe horn into the debate the possible place of religion. We already know the place of religion. It is a simplistic set of supernatural beliefs for which there is absolutely no empirical, verifiable evidence. We persist in believing in such nonsense largely because of the programmed brainwashing of our childhood).
