Mysteries of Modern Physics by Sean Carroll

  • One of the great intellectual achievements of the twentieth century was the theory of quantum mechanics, according to which observational results can only be predicted probabilistically rather than with certainty. Yet, after decades in which the theory has been successfully used on an everyday basis, most physicists would agree that we still don’t truly understand what it means. I will talk about the source of this puzzlement, and explain why an increasing number of physicists are led to an apparently astonishing conclusion: that the world we experience is constantly branching into different versions, representing the different possible outcome of quantum measurements. This could have important consequences for quantum gravity and the emergence of spacetime.
    Sean Carroll is a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology, and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is the host of the weekly Mindscape podcast. He is the author of several books, most recently Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime.

      Stop it, he's not logical. 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. Creation had to be done supernaturally at some point.

    Sean says that he never gets tired of being amazed at the human imagination and at Nature's stubborn insistence on following its rules of physics. But I will never get tired of listening to Sean describe how this universe works. His enthusiasm, his clarity, and his stubborn insistence on giving a fair hearing to all sides of controversies in physics is joyful to behold. Sean refuses to remain stuck in the mud of mysteries, but instead lays out the directions we can go and patiently awaits the march of science to determine the best direction.
    He reminds me of the "color commentator" at NFL football games. He doesn't just give "nuts and bolts" statistics of how many yards were gained. He tells stories of the players on and off the field and how that relates to their performance in the game. We humans may understand math, but we also understand through a good story. Sean is the master color commentator, telling stories that help us appreciate the "action on the field".

    I’m 28 years old. I’m not a student of any kind. I attended a few semesters of community college. My job has NOTHING to do with quantum mechanics, academia, or particularly difficult concepts. I’m just someone that loves to learn. Knowledge is a gift. The more you learn about existence the more beautiful it reveals itself to be. Every academic field, every culture, even different beliefs systems, allow more of the universe’s richness to come through. Instead of chasing one truth, learn to see the many truths that people use to interpret the world. You have one too.

    As an engineer who has always been passionate about math and physics, I was intrigued by modern physics, despite neither relativity nor quantum mechanics were part of any course syllabus at my university. I studied these subjects on the side and found them really inspiring, I would go as far as to say that they gave me a novel perspective on life itself. That prompted me to create some online courses on Udemy on Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, special and General Relativity. It’s not my job of course, but I love talking about these topics while using some mathematics for “intuition”.

      Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
      When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else.

Yet, I feel I have gained some basic understanding of the theories presented here and in other lectures by Carroll and folks like Brian Cox, Richard Feynman and others. I am very much into the arts and I find that the arts and the sciences can inform and inspire each other. Connecting it to the real world.

  • @origins7298
    @origins7298 Před 4 lety +3

    I think the answer to the quantum mystery is just the idea of quantification itself
    The universe does not have exact numbers to correspond to it what is rather always in a state of flux
    An example would be saying that I'm 6 ft tall. It's just an approximation. Someone's exact height is always changing but we give an approximate estimate
    This is the same with all quantification. It's only accurate within the margin of error
    Height weight, any mathematical description of a system is just an approximation
    In reality the electron is distributed in a cloud and always will be
    But when we give mathematical descriptions of a system we're basically giving an approximation that has some utility
    Therefore all the terms like superposition wave function duality, they're all just terms to give some Precision to something that'll always be Beyond quantification
    It's like the shape of the Earth you can say it's a sphere or an oblong spheroid and that is more accurate than saying it's flat
    But the utility is always based on a relative system.
    in reality the shape of the earth is always changing slightly
    Anyway can someone hit me back and see how we can get these ideas being discussed by physicists like Sean Carroll
    I think what I'm saying here is a more basic idea then the many-worlds
    In reality many worlds is just a an attempt to give Precision to the universe the same way we give Precision to the shape of the Earth. But in reality such linguistic terms will never capture the Nuance nature of reality. I think it's more fundamental to just say that quantification will always be accurate within the margin of error and that the actuality of reality can never be precisely described in any way that is true for all Observers.
    So again the fundamental mystery or Indescribable nature is due to an attempt to quantify what is beyond quantification in an ultimate sense!

      One could argue though, by viewing tieknots as a self avoiding random walk on a triangular lattice (see www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~tmf20/TIES/PAPERS/paper_nature.pdf), that a state of even lower entropy could have been achieved by tying the tie into a "Oriental" style tieknot (a tie knot wich requires only four moves: left, right, center, tie), instead of what looks to be a (very stylish) "Half-Windsor" (requiring seven moves: left, right, center, left, right, center, tie).
      On the other hand, a Half-Windsor looks tidier, so that may make the Sean Carroll system as a whole at least appear less entropic :P

    I have read that Newton also was troubled by his theory's "action at a distance". He kept his discomfort to himself, because he, like others of his day, did not believe in action at a distance in physics. In this regard, he did not differ from Einstein whose Relativity did away with action at a distance. I find that Newton was, in this regard, much further ahead of his time than all other physicists until Einstein, to whom he might have said, "You know, I had been thinking along the same lines! I got as far as calculus, but I had not applied it to the geometry of Riemannian 4-dimensional spaces as you did, because Riemann had not yet been born in my day; but I knew something was wrong"
