  • String Theorist are not looking for the right answer they want to be right. They want to be right so bad they would block the right answer from reaching the public. It is profitable being wrong and until we have product based research funding in theoretical physics nothing will change. Just like the Clay Mathematics Institute. You get the money after you solve the problem.  It's just that simple.

  • I love it when people explain so seemingly complex things in a way that I can understand.

  • String theory's true regarding gravity. I've tested it. I tied this lad's shoe laces together and he fell like a sack of shit.

  • I used to be a subatomic string like you, until I got a particle accelerator in my knee.

  • Leonard Susskind would intellectually destroy Coxy. Not bad for a start out plumber.

  • Brilliant explanation and insight. thank you Susskind & Cox!!

  • How some humans think physics is some boring stuff? while its the peak of human creativity and intellect, its the ultimate challenge, its reading the book of nature, how someone can not care about the very existence, nature itself now that we FINALLY after all these years can truly look for the answers, if you have the talent! is unbelievable.

  • Comment removed

  • How did the strings occour?

  • This theory has real potential, but I can not help thinking that it is over looking something of fundamental importance.

  • Does anyone know what programme this is from please?

  • Awesome. 

  • Porque Lenard Susskind no es tan famoso? es un genio!

  • @warex3d no se.

  • Can anyone please tell me what show is this clip extracted from?

    Thanks

  • "Far smaller than we can see with any kind of microscope that exists and that includes the worlds biggest accelerators" *smile*... He just punched Brian lol xD

  • i don't like string theory but when i think who actually invented it, i just shut up... IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW (for those who don't) THAT LEONARD PROVED HAWKING WRONG . . . .

  • @nicolara9 Correction, they are both as right as much as they are both wrong. Neither are 100% if even 50%...

  • @mattysimsoficial there is no certainty, (as you said.. theory should be self explainatory in the 21c at least by now) probability...shut up. do we all not want/ need the truth...please if your smart and not pretentious sift the truth. i need to know dont you?

  • @INNATEHUMAN I can't tell what it is you're getting at, I am sorry.

  • @nicolara9 in other words, there is no certainty in this subject. Only calculated theory. ;)

  • @nicolara9 I dunno exactly what the relevancy of that would be but, I'm just curious about what exactly was said by Hawking to be proved wrong?

  • @raydredX It has to do with information from something entering a black hole. You might want to read all about that in "The Black Hole War" by Leonard Susskind.

  • @raydredX Hawking said black holes violated conservation of information because information cannot travel fast enough to escape their event horizon and therefore can never be observed. Susskind said that once something is sucked into a black hole, a holographic image of it is produced on the black hole's surface meaning there's observable evidence for anything and everything that enters it, so it obeys conservation. His calculations backed it up, and Hawking eventually admitted he was wrong.

  • @NorthernEmperor I know this might sound stupid, but what exactly

    is the 'information' and what is 'conservation of information'?

    Your statement is pretty clear, so I'm really looking forward

    to your explaination.

    Thank you very much!!!

  • @fntime In a broad sense, I'd describe information is just anything that tells us something is there, an image, a sound, etc. Conservation of information is the idea that this evidence that something is there can take on different forms, but will always be there, eg if you put a block of ice in a room, come back, and it's melted into water, the original block of ice might not be there anymore, but everything that made it up is still there, and knowing the processes that caused the change . . .

  • @fntime . . .could actually figure out what happened to every particle in it and piece them all back into that original block of ice. But black holes are sucking things in with such force that images literally can't travel fast enough to escape their pull and make it out into the rest of the universe, so Hawking thought the evidence that anything sucked into a black hole ever existed was lost, i.e. not conserved. Susskind proved him wrong (In theory at least) with the holographic principle.

  • @NorthernEmperor Thank you, your input is very clear and appreciated.

  • @NorthernEmperor what i understand is 'cause and effect' that both are observable, to me, meaning if we know it (cause and effect) we have already been able to take empiricle action, meaning violation is contractictory..i think.

  • Susskind is an absolute monster. Love his lectures.

  • This is so clearly explained.

  • Why closed strings instead of bubbles?

  • @audience2 because bubbles are not spatially extended and still have a spherical shape like a particle would. a certain frequency on a closed string would resemble the gravitational boson i.e. the graviton. that's why strings are a theory of everything. Everything in the universe from quarks to the universe itself are made up of extremely tiny vibrating strings of energy.

  • @FallofDarkness55 A particle is mathematically modelled as a point. A bubble could have modes of vibration too. Is there a fundamental reason why closed strings are used or is it just an artifact of the model?

  • @audience2 Well I am not an expert on this but I am reading the Elegant Universe by Brian Greene and trying to understand the basic concepts underlying super-string theory. My understanding is that there are two kinds of string open string that look like a string and a closed string that looks like a rubber band. According to what I've read, physicists expect the graviton to be a manifestation of a particular frequency on a closed string. I don't know the rigorous math underlying this concept.

  • @audience2 that's why the newest version is called m-theory, for membrane, the "strings" can be "membranes"

  • @InnerSmile72 M doesn't stand for "membrane." Edward Witten said its only a temporary name (he's the guy who came up with M-Theory). He said the M to stands for "Magic, Mystery, or Matrix"

  • @MouseCheese2010 Close, but no cigar. "Originally the letter M in M-theory was taken from membrane, a construct designed to generalize the strings of string theory. However, as Witten was more skeptical about membranes than his colleagues, he opted for "M-theory" rather than "Membrane theory". Witten has since stated that the interpretation of the M can be a matter of taste for the user of the name."wikipedia

  • @MouseCheese2010 - Yes, I saw Ed Whitten say that too ! - so I re-ran the video, and just before he says it could be thought of as 'mystery / matrix / magic' - he said 'membrane'. The audio didn't pick it up so well but it is there. I had always thought that the origin of M was for 'Membrane' giving the 2-dimensional string a 3-dimensional surface quality. This, of course, is only a 'physicists shorthand' tool.

  • @audience2 now that statement of yours is is interesting.finally i am writing to a reply that is not pretentious. Actually, i never thought of bubbles. So, if bubbles, im thinking that meansyour considering positive and negitive space, if string, that would mean... positve space =a blank page. negative space= i.e dots for example. a closed of connection still has a connection. i.e light rays, sorry i cant really explain what im thinking but i do not doubt the bubbbles idea

  • Does anyone know the name of this program?

  • Why does Dr. Cox always wear that helmet around?

  • 0:44 to 0:52 roughly translates as, 'fuck you you bunch of thick cunts'.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The inertial move from matter produce the gravitational field, and the gravity with her particles ties the macrocosmos with microcosmos and influenced all what exists sitting thus at the general existence basis. The UNIFIED LAW of matter's forces I can say with cetainly that it exists from some hundred years and is Newton's universal attraction law.

  • @sandustanBrasov Do you also have Snowwhite And The Seven Dwarves in your collection?

  • • SandustanBrasov

    In the zone collisions and explosion starry, from the primary matter - matter under electrical field, magnetic field and radiations form, it begins to form the underatomic particles; first the electron which remain as crystallisation nucleus definitized on him the neutron, which at that time when becomes free oneself is transformed in proton and electron, respective in atoms of hydrogen, giving immenses hydrogen clouds what finds on the starry cataclysms place.

  • SandustanBrasov

    In an atom, the peripherical big speed at so little radius are proof that every particle or group of particles can create continuously a personal magnetic field in which floats and which permit them an inertial rotation movement without rapid lesses, as a celestial body in cosmical space.For example, the medium's density at 200 miles above Earth is so small, that if Jupiter it will turn in this medium 1000000 years, then Jupiter will lose not to millionth part from his motion!

  • SandustanBrasov

    Thus two bodies in interaction creates between them a magnetic depresion what constitute the attraction force between bodies. In a similar mode it can construct the magnetic fields schedule for a helium atom in which we have: 1).-the magnetic field created by the nucleus; 2).-the electromagnetic field created between an electron and a proton; 3).-the gravitational electromagnetic field of the atom, field what is absorbed of atom and is accelerated by the electromagnetic field.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Thus the viscous material from the central zone can get only through a certain extremity, evolving around the particle or further away in space from where it turns by the other extremity of the particle. The inertial movement working of the underatomic particles and the atoms as whole permits them to compare with the powerful aspirators which absorbs, but its emits too matter under the form of magnetic field's particles.

  • SandustanBrasov

    Loops which at the substraction of rotation speed are retiring, and at growth rotation speed, evolves around the particle and enter through the other end forming a continuously mass circulation of primary matter from the central zone. The external's part of the particle by friction with the medium become a spherical surface, and in the inner share where continuous the crystallisation it will obtain an uniformly waved surface, with helicoidal channels disposed around his axis.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The general schedule of existence of any underatomic particle is a schedule to one sphere with central section on the rotation vertical axis of the particle in which we have: 1).-the carcass resulting by the radially crystallisation, from external to internal; 2).-the viscous inner mass; 3).-inner helicoid channel disposed around the axis, resulted in the last carcass crystallisation; 4).-magnetic field loops or primary viscous mass loops from the central zone.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    How the solidification begins from external it would resultated that in the central zone at any underatomic particles would remained continuously a primary matter mass, more viscous, so that to the shown rotations the free underatomic particles, or in the atom's frame, to take out in space matter from the central zone, but on which to it recover continuously for maintaining the them integrity.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The atoms, the underatomic particles, the radiations - all to be possible to crystallize at highter temperature. Continuing so we arrive to the gravitational field particles whose characteristics: rapid movement, great power of penetration and reciprocal attraction proves that they also can be composed.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The existence of the rotation motion in macrocosmos and in microcosmos, and the great temperature interval from zero Kelvin degrees at millions of degrees in stars, guide us attention towards the inertial masses in motion and towards the matter's crystallisation phenomenons. Naturally, the crystallisation bigins from external(from periphery) and advances towards the central zone. The bodies and substances known by man, are crystallizing between 0...4000 Kelvin degrees.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Mendeleev had shown that we can not conceive without motion even the smallest matter particle. It says about radiations but about atoms and molecules that they have a vibration frequency of approximate 10 at13...10 at 15 , what means that these are turning arround theirs self axes with 10 at 13...10 at 15 rotations on second proofing the existence of a continuous inertial motion .

  • SandustanBrasov

    Our brethren from ITER have capacity of to construct controlled thermonuclear reactor, only that they must let abandon tokamak installation.Because that the tokamak installation were invented in 1950 by phisicists Igor Tamm and Andrei Sakharov, inspired by idea of Oleg Lavrentyev, when he studiing the realization of the hydrogen bomb which it has not need of magnetic trap, and thus all experiments were finished with destructuion of the tokamak installations in the central zone.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    As following of the thermonuclear reaction from Sun, the Sun is a giant powerstation of electromagnetic energy, a powerfull source of electricity which keep up the life of every where from his planetary system.This electrical ether which come from Sun, we gather him with our electrical generators and drive our industry. This electrical ether is absorbed and of the our bodies and of any creature, - electrical ether which keep and animate the our existence.

  • SandustanBrasov

    The electrical ether- for example- proceed from magnetic field from atoms, eliminated in following combination of the deuterium with tritium in helium.The eliminated magnetic field it decompose in particles of electrical ether in chamber of thermonuclear reaction.Any chemical combination eliminate this electrical ether.But at the chemical combination the chemical elements which participate at reaction can not to be magnetic isolated because they it combine before to be ionized.

  • SandustanBrasov

    Any body is accompanied of a personal ether.When it combine two substances, it combine and those two personal ethers, giving birth at another substances with another personal ether, which give body a certain colour and certain properties. Whole what is solid on Earth is impregnated with his personal ether with the more greatest density from the thousands of sorts of ethers.The liquids have them personal ether some rare and gases have them personal ether more rare and diaphanos.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    But the seen matter: gaseous, liquid and solid remain not single in her existence, but is dressed, interpenetrated and driven by ethereal matter. Neither an atom of the whose chemical element can exist not, without existence in each atom to one personal part of ethereal matter, which hold him concentrated, which active him and on which hold him in material exchenge with the environing medium, with the others bodies.

  • SandustanBrasov

    I have made only a logical, rational and intuitive synthesis, having at base in majority, experimental, observed and demonstrated arguments. I have not something against the CERN, ITER or NASA, but against the utopian conceptions from theoretical physics with which are indoctrinated thenths of thousands of engineers and physicists involved in ethereal describes of the matter, in realization of the thermonuclear controlled fusion and in mode of transportation the man in cosmos.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The matter of the our terrestrial globe has four states of aggregation: solid, liquid, gseous and ethereal and not three after official science. The matter on which we see it, proceed from the ethereal matter, which from cancentration in concentration it had constituted in the electrons, in protons respectivel;y in the atoms of the chemical elements which had overtaken at the gaseous, liquid and solid state. All the matter on which we see it, is condensed ether.

  • SandustanBrasov

    The gravity's particlesas aproximately the smallest ethereal particles, constitute the most general ethereal aggregation state from nature, with the largest temperature interval, from zero Kelvin degrees to millions of degrees in stars. That is an aggregation state which coexist with all others aggregation states(solid, liquid, gaseous, ethereal) and on which it influenced them.The actual official science is mistaken in great proportion because this has not in sight the Ether.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The ACTUAL ELECTRICAL GENERATORS : galvanic elements and electrical accumulators; dynamos and alternators; thermoelements and photoelectric cell - transform nothing, but they only gather the electrical energy= the particles of the electrical ether which exist in metals, in the environing medium, in the thermic radiation or in the ray of light!

  • SandustanBrasov

    The ELECTRICAL CURRENT consist in circulation in the round and in lengthways to one electrical conductor to the particles of electrical ether guided on the magnetic field from the round the conductor; magnetic field formed all from particles of electrical ether coupled head at head and expelled in concentric circles in the round the conductor.If it interrupt the electrical current, then it decompose and this magnetic field in particles of electrical ether and it drain in circuit

  • SandustanBrasov

    The ELECTRICAL FIELD is a field of particles of electrical ether, free and it move approximate in right line.The MAGNETIC FIELD from the round of one conductor is constituted forever from particles of the electrical ether, but magnetic coupled head at head and it move on a curve forming concentric circles in round to one conductor.The ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD is a combination of particles of electrical field anf of curls of magnetic field, having property of the evolve in space.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The ELECTRON is not an exclusive electrical load, but an elementary particle from the composition of any atom, and is only a particle with intermediate role in the unfolding of the electrical phenomenons. The REAL ELECTRCAL LOAD is a particle of electrical ether more nore small than the electron, has and she a personal and rapid rotation, producing a personal magnetic field, which it gear with the magnetic field from the round of one electrical conductor.

  • SandustanBrasov

    The PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL MATTER is the visible matter with free eye and is constituted from atoms of the chemical elements.The PHYSICAL-ETHEREAL MATTER is a matter with atoms more small with 7..8 order of dimension than the atoms of chemical elements, and the bodies formed from this matter are invisible for the human eye. The ETHEREAL PHYSICS it occupy with the study of the ethereal matters, but which was abandoned in the XX century, because in 1905 A.Einstein excludes the ether.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The ETHER is a physical reality constituted from a very small matter, invisible for human eye, and is formed from atoms more small with 7...8 order of dimension than the atoms of the chemical elements. The matter of the ether penetrate in all the visible bodies and is the physical matter which fills both the interplanetary space and the interatomic space. The ether is a matter with mass and weigth, being subdued and she the action of the universal attraction law.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    After Mendeleev's opinion is possible and necessary the extension of periodical system for other size's order - more small- of the ethereal matter particles. About the absolute vacuum space, M.Faraday had the certitude that it doesn't exist, and it exists only an incomplte vacuum whose spatial magnetic state is of the most importance for the natures phenomenons.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    D.I.Mendeleev had shown through 1860:"Studying the ether which penetrate in all the bodies and asking myself the question: from what is formed this ether's mass, I had admitted the idea that theirs atoms, or his matter represent the primary matter, from which are formed all atoms. The existence to the one light mass, to the one light substance and less of chemical forces, is possibly but, is even necessary".

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The Dutch astronomer Jan Oort from Leyde university, determines in 1965 the density of the matter in the Sun's neighbourhood, of 0.10 solar mass on the cubic parsec. The his conclusion was that in our galaxy exist not an invizible zone(without matter). The Milky Way and our neighbour Andromeda it approach one of another, with a speed of 93 km/s, and not it remove how it believe that make other galaxies.

  • SandustanBrasov If in 1905 Einstein excludes the ether from physics, viz excludes the intergalactic matter, then the his fanatical disciples, the his theoretical parrots, arrive with the rlativity theory at Big bang, at black holes, holes of worm, at singularity and today at the travel in time. Thus, the great explosion of George Gamov and his follows R.A.Ipfer and R.C.Hermann become cosmological standardized theory, but which is one great bluff!

  • SandustanBrasov

    In 1930..1935 apple of discord was the photon of light. General opinion of the physicists had adopted the viewpoint which unholded not the existence's idea in flight to photon.Thus they had allowed the photon without mass.If the photon has not mass, he can't interact with nothing on trajectory and the light speed remain constant.In place let to consider that the photons lose the speed on way following them interaction with the meeted matter, they had set the Universe let dilate.

  • •SandustanBrasov

    In accordance with Hubble's law for two heavenly bodies founded at the same distance from Earth, the constant must needs let has the same value.The three astronomers for respective measurement, they had fixed about 120 spirally galaxies founded in average at the same distance, but in different regions of the supergalaxy.The result was surprising: resulted that the speed of moving off of the galaxies in first region was of 4796 km/s face of 481 km/s for those from second region.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The subsequent investigations, effected in continuous with test all more profound in the dept of the Universe, proved that the value of the Hubble's constant, which bind the speed of moving off with the distance, it cipher in the round a 100 km/s on megaparsec. But in the year 1973, three astronomers: V.C.Rubin, J.S.Rubin and W.K.Ford from observatory Lick from California succeeded let shake in serious mode the infallibility of the Hubble's constant.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    In 1929, Hubble and Humason had established that the bright rays which come from a galaxy at a terrestrial observer it manifest in the spectral image to the this galaxy through the displacement of the length of wave, towards the red domain of the spectrum, and the disparity is with so much more great how the transmitting source is more remote.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Face of the initial surprise, at the finding to one Universe in expansion, even Hubble to inclined let explain the displacement towards red, as a tiredness of the light on the immense way which separate her of galaxy which emited her; can be a loss of energy because the nature of the light and the interaction with the matter meeted in way, which give a displacement towards red more great and the Hubble's constant will grow.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Today in front of our eyes and of the observation apparatuss it succedes all evolution phases of the celestial bodies, stars and galaxies. An evidence that the Universe doesn't seems to have an explosive beginning, and doesn't seems to have ever an end in the his entirely. The facts demonstrates that in Universe the cyclical creation has place continuously in certains parts and can has not place total creation in the same time in all the mass of the Universe.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The discovery from 1972 about quasar 3C279, this concrete evidence, guides in physics at the breakdown myth as 300000 km/s as maximum speed; guides in astronomy to the Hubble;s law revision, the law expressed by an empirical relation bound by 13 miliards of years how it considers at taht time the Universe age; and the famous Big bang, the great explosion of George Gamov let be not anything than a great bluff!

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The fact seeming strange, after 12 days it take back with care the observations, and it confirm the first results. Moreover, extrapolating the dates towards past the astronomers had arrived at the conclusion that the two parts of the quasar had started let it separate towards the end of the year 1967, date at which the quasar passed through one activity of radioemission very intense. Was the moment when the quasar 3C279 it was broken at least in two parts.

  • • SandustanBrasov The both radiotelescopes was oriented towards the 3C279 quasar at which was observed the two double punctual emission very near. After four months it resume the measurements about quasar. Leaving from the period's enlargement to the fringes interference, it deduce and the angular distance between the two source. How the time in which the source had removed was known, it was calculated the speed of moving off and which was of TEN TIMES more great than the light speed!

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The quasars are quasistellary bodies which emits intense radiowave and radiation in ultravilet and infrared.The surprise to come from quasar 3C279 from two parts of its resulted in following explosion from 1967 and which it had continuated to displace in space with a speed of ten times more great than the light speed. In 1972 an american astronomers team guided of I.Shapiro had coupled two radiotelescopes: one from Haystack-Massachussets with one from Goldstone-California.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Today, on measure that the theory advances from classic mechanics to the quantum mechanics the particle and wave are gradual dematerialize.The modern physics is blocked by enounciation of some laws and mistaken principles as: relativity theory;Hubble's low, poastulation that the atom can't emit and absorb radiations continuously, admitting the postulate what claims the photons without mass a.s.o.These guide us at supernatural, and at the technical and technological blockage.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Nikola Tesla argued that:"I hold that the space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can has not properties. Of properties it can speak only when it work with the matter which fill up the space. The empty space it can not curve because - something - can not action about - nothing". This relativity proceed from a philosophical direction, on which A.Einstein produce her when he was found in a state of technical and religious confusion.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The scientist man Nikola Tesla showed that the relativity theory was the creation of the great philosopher Ruder Boscovich and was emited with over 200 years ago, dealt with relativity, including to so-called time-space continuum, and from this taken and A.Einstein a great part and alter it.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Einstein considers the gravity as a property of the space and not in the least as a property of the matter which fill up this space. The relativity theory of the Einstein is a geometrization of the space. Leibnitz(1646...1716) German scientist, forerunner of the mathematical logic, through the denial the newtonian space-time is and he a forerunner of the Einstein's relativity.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Were introduced in physics the infinite mass phantoms, the infinite energy phantoms and the infinite impulse phantoms when a body or particle would touch the light speed in vacuum. Today we know that many particles were accelerate unill at the light speed, others had arrived with this speed from cosmos, but at none grow up not at infinite or near of infinite the mass, the energy or the impulse.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    It renounce thus at the absolute space and at the absolute time. From the simple and linear transformations of the Galilei's relativity it arrive at the Lorentz- Einstein's transformations through the introduction to two factors, subunitary and superunitary. Thus, with these confusions about space and time it passed at the adequate changes about the whole physics.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Actually Einstein, from theoretical confusion and of megalomania, establish that none object with mass can not outrun the light speed.He succeeding, how written publications of the time, let vex much people, then, whenever over a hundred of people of science had signed a petition in which they upholded that the relativity theory is mistaken, is fallacious.Einstein upholded his relativity theory, believing in the fact that then, nobody can not to demonstrate him the contrary.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    But in 1905, A.Einstein conclude that the ether hasn't a correspondent in reality and constitute not a medium which let can serve as reference system. Thus Einstein renounced to the ether notion and absolute space and emits the two restricted relativity principles. By it content the second principle excludes the ether, impose as limit of bodies' movement - the light speed - and denatured completely the classic dynamics reality.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The physicists Hendrik A.Lorentz admits existence of the ether, but emit the hypothesis that any body which it move in report with the ether, with a speed V, suffers a contarction, in the sense that the parallel dimension with the motion's direction it decrease, creating a subunitary factor and arranging formulas in this sense,H.A.Lorentz showed that once with the process of contraction it admits and a dilatation of the time, he alters in this sense the relation to Galilei.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The Michelson-Morley experiments(1881) with the purpose to put in evidence the Earth movement face of one immobile ether, for too be taken as a reference system, had forever the same result. Thus the experiments had showed: 1).-that the ether is complete training with the mass and the Earth's atmosphere; 2).- and that our conception about ether as reference system is not right.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    Through the relativity theory to Einstein of over century, it hold with strenght -as a conspiracy a general activity of intellectual stultify of the planetary population. from relativity theory proceed the notion of: singularity, Big bang, black holes and holes of worm. From 1905 and till now in 2011, the disciples of the Einstein, preach with contumely as scientific elements of high class these theoretical confusions, these absurdities from which they had made a business.

  • I respect anyone who has the brains for this stuff however i think its wrong to focus on string theory and lose direction, i mean who cares how matter reacts, we are consciousness!

  • @r052476577 Two words;Energy crisis. 

  • Did he just call brain cox a layman?

  • Brian Cox must get mistaken for a lady all the time

  • The AdS5xS5 representation I gave earlier is maybe a bit too deep, it embeds the whole representation as a point in real space. Starting with 3D hypersphere times a 3-D saddle-point, as replacement for flat space the simple product of the two 3-D forms is apparently already similar to a 4-D curved space with spherical and quadrupolar aspects. Two scale jumps as point-to-sphere conversions from there might be compared to the jump from universe to ring galaxy to helium (2n2p quadrupole) nucleus.

  • Multiplying a hyperbolic space by a spherical space, maybe it could mix to make a quadrupolar well when viewed along one plane and yet have spherical symmetry when viewed perpendicular to that plane. I'm not at all sure about all of these things, but all of it still seems possible to me at this point.

  • I'd like to make the simplest analogy or representation possible for a 5-D Anti-de-Sitter space times a 5-D hypersphere, and I guess the best I can come up with right now is to go with the size-scale-as-dimension concept and see it as a concentric series of five 3-D spheres, with a size-scale separation between spheres such that the next sphere shows as a point in the center when the current sphere has filled the screen, and superimposed in each sphere would be the saddle of a hyperbolic space.

  • A quark lattice can be made of all neutrons, all protons or a mix, but it figures that quark lattices form most easily with neutrons. With a compressed neutron lattice there is double "down" (-1/3-1/3) compression between "ups" maybe on the way to forming a new quark lattice with +/-2/3 unit charges that include a new "double-down" (-2/3) quark made of subquarks -4/9+2/9-4/9 and a matching up (+2/3) of +4/9-2/9+4/9. Alternatively the +/- 2/3 units could be pairs of +/- 1/3 or quads of +/- 1/6.

  • If quarks could be broken into 3 parts it seems the charges might be -1/3=-2/9+1/9-2/9, and +2/3=+4/9-2/9+4/9, with three different charge levels -2/9, +1/9, +4/9 instead of two, and the added +4/9 charge level maybe being explainable by the + charging bias inside of an "up" being twice that of the - charge bias inside of a "down."

  • Trying to make an 8-dimensional quark lattice, one might take the jump from 10^-15 meters (proton) scale to 10^-35 meters planck scale as having eight equal parts, all around 10^-2.5 [2.5=(15/8-35/8)], putting quarks around 10^-17.5 meters spacing. This is like saying all quarks have three parts with each part having two main types with opposite charges: +/- (1/9, 2/9), and repeating that process down further six more times, next with charges: +/- 1/27, 2/27, etc.

  • Beyond what I just said, assuming the quark scale is about 10^-2 times as large as the baryonic (with the proton as ideal) scale, and assuming that it is somewhat an ideal ratio, and also that the jump from quark to plank scale is on the order of 10^-18, it's a natural guess to suppose there are about nine scale jumps equivalent to the proton/quark type of relation before hitting the planck scale. Admittedly it's naive, but it says there are about 12 dimensions.

  • Suppose independent dimensions can be equated to independent scales in this instance. Suppose the gravity, weak, coulomb and color scales are, in log10 meters sequence, +21, -4, -15, -17. The scale differences get progressively smaller, 25, 11, 2. Planck scale is -35. The number of scale jumps needed to span the difference between -17 and -35 is going to have to be very large if each jump must be progressively smaller. At some point the jumps might hit a bottom limit and become quite similar.

  • It seems that in a range of trajectories involving long distances from the BH, but necessarily near the accretion ring spin axis, the BH energy output could create the effect of repulsion, maybe also a vicinity with much antimatter, to the extent that gravity lensing around the BH is distinctly quadrupolar when viewed nearer to the ring plane, and much like a triplet gravitational lens, with two weaker concave elements surrounding a stronger convex element, when viewed along the ring axis.

  • Maybe matter actually never makes it past the event horizon of a black hole, but it's all converted into energy instead and the energy quanta are probably tunneled away. Maybe this tunneling occurs along dislocations in the accretion ring caused by frame-dragging. The energy seems to leave the accretion ring at various angles with various properties, mostly as massless quanta, especially at the largest angles, and many of these particles are energetic enough to generate reaction mass.

  • billion billion times smaller than a proton ...that does not even fall in the category of being small......is it possible to detect it? or observe it ?

  • Susskind is just brilliant!

  • lol, finally someone that says particles consist out of strings .

    that makes my theory of all particles being arks of energy or electricity make sense.

    and also the double split experiment make sense .

    an electron particle can be at multiple places at once ,goz we measure a particle , but it actually is a string of energy to my opinion.

    so we are fooled by an illusion.

  • Just hide it away. Good stuff.

  • String theory is a good model, in tying up loose ends such as the anomolous magnetic mement of the gluon and getting rid of the strong CP problem in QCD. Susskind is also correct in his gravity interpretation of this, using the fourier series of the function describing the closed strings and using the resulting phase angle to describe the action of a pseudoparticle called an instanton, which acts as a singularity between 2 closed strings. strings themselves don't make up the whole picture.

  • String theory inherently pops out of Quantum Chromodynamics mainly due to the way the gluon fine-structure constants(describing ''colour'' force) and the quark-gluon coupling constant(a term in the covarient derivative of the quark tensor field) can be represented( and normailised) by the Euler Beta function descreibing the amplitude and wave nature of strings. the anomolous magnetic moment of the gluon can be fitted into this theory and describes closed strings and vice versa.

  • thx you leonard susskind for your explanation, and representing US in physics and a higher ability of thinking. Us is known for its ignorance and failure to understand and ability to comprehend higher learning

  • @egmaverikc84 yeah...Feyman was a dumbass...and the U.S. is no where close to being a massive research powerhouse in the world. Television is a business of notoriety, don't be retarded and hate.

  • @LegendsXYY even brian cox said (& u can find it on YouTube) that the US lead by far in scientific research, with Britain second in all categories - published papers, proven experiments, etc., so i don't know what you're talking about. and this isn't national pride talking, it's just a fact the Cox himself has stated.

  • @ermarauder um I think you're failing to read my comment in context to who I replied to because I was being sarcastic...so I can see why you wouldn't know what I'm talking about had you assumed I was being earnest. Plus, my second sentence shows direct disagreement to his comment which would contradict my first sentence if I wasn't being sarcastic.

  • @LegendsXYY

    Behold, another scientifically illiterate slobberdonkey braying at that which he knows nothing of.

  • @Vulcanscienceacademy Can't pick up sarcasm? Learn to read dipshit or if you honestly disagree with my sarcastic statement, make a valid point about why the U.S.'s research capacity is weak (though I doubt anyone could justify it), not transparently blunt bombast born of zero forethought.

  • @tokenmatch...uh dude...brian cox is a particle physicist...im pretty sure he knows what susskind is talking about....he asks questions as if its a layman talking to him because the public is giong to see the video

  • Brian Cox should really stop nodding his head in an attempt to look like he truly understands. I have this feeling inside that makes me want to smack him with a soldering iron.

  • So these strings have tubes conencted to them like a world sheet and when the tubes connect we have the pull of gravity? This is based on what Hawking said about strings in Universe in a Nutshell. Is that right?

  • Strings are made out of energy. A vibration is energy like a particle. Waves are vibrations with different fequencies. I love this video because it explains what strings are and how they work very articulately. I like quantum gravity. Hope we can prove it. I like it when a theory predicts something and it become true.

  • and what are the strings made of?

  • @x1plus1x strings consist of a certain resonance of energy

  • u can see they had quite a bit of wine already...

  • So it's gravity that keeps the nuclei of atoms together in this theory?

    Gravity works in a sub atomic level?

    That's not what I have read.

  • Leonard Susskind is the man. He came up with String Theory at Stanford.

  • @tryanjohnson no he did not

  • @iliketolivealone Wikipedia:

    Susskind was one of at least three physicists who independently discovered during or around 1970 that the Veneziano dual resonance model of strong interactions could be described by a quantum mechanical model of strings,[14] and was the first to propose the idea of the string theory landscape. Susskind has also made contributions in the following areas of physics:

    The independent discovery of the string theory model of particle physics.

  • @tryanjohnson dude i was just making a point. and i have never read wikipedia for the fact that ANYONE is able to contribute to the website, its just not based on fact, that always alarmed me, because i assumed it was regulated. Its a shame.

  • @iliketolivealone It is no secret. You can read 50 books. It is a fact that he developed String Theory with two other scientist.

    What is you point!

  • @iliketolivealone Are you on drugs???

  • @iliketolivealone Would you like a link to his original paper or perhaps his email address at Stanford? -You could ask him yourself!

  • @iliketolivealone EASY!!! I was going off memory. Ok, he was one of three. What is your point???

  • @tryanjohnson (EASY!!) ,? I wasnt being rude. What the fuck is it about egos and science?

  • String is ugly. Garrett Lisi's E8 is far more beautiful which is bad news for string guys. In the double helix race, beauty was the key for allowing short cuts. Weired eh?

  • Brian Cox should have kicked his ass with his superior knowledge

  • @billyahall What?? The student is superior to the master?

  • I always thought string theory was a way to explain our way out of the quantum foam and in-ability to measure it....I'm probably wrong.

  • who i understand a little of that but by the sounds of that it extreamly complicated stuff

  • I prefer listening to Witten, Leonard sounds a little too intimidating because of his voice.

  • Nope i can't get my head around that i give up. Some things are best left unsolved.

  • @cakesofdeath Nothing is ever best left unsolved.

  • As I understand it, the problem with string theory is that while it can be used as a good model to explain what we observe, we are actually forced to choose some of the parameters of string theory based on what has already been observed. Thus it has a bit of circular logic to it.

    Now, as with Newton's Force and Mass, circular reasoning doesn't make an argument wrong. But unlike Newton's equations, it has yet to explain or predict anything in a way that would be different if we didn't have it.

  • Exactly, it is often criticized by physicists for this reason. At this point, string theory is just an abstract idea on paper. It's very difficult to find a way to test it. I find it to be pretty fascinating though.

  • @adkinsjr Don't they "test" it by smashing atoms in those accelerators and observing how the particles behave on their own?

  • the strings in string theory ....arent actually something u can imagine ..its not just a simple loop ...

    a string is a 1 dimensional object that moves in 11 dimensions and osscilates ...

    a better name would of been "osscilating energy theory" cus thats what strings really are

    but "string" is catchy.

  • I thought it was the atheists who left 'immature' comments willeo? LOL, looks like you have proved your self to be a hypocrite once again. I remember that comment you left on another video about how 'angry' atheists are on youtube. The irony is hilarious.

    adkinsjr and sidewaysfcs leave reasonable comments, and you just call it a 'typical atheist asswipe comment.' LOL, nice rebuttal.

    Your hatred and extreme insecurity are so obvious. I doubt I'm the first to point that out to you.

  • @JohnEdwardIAF Liiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr­rrrrr, There is no doubt that because i can't comprehend the concept God must have done it.

  • As you heard in the video, willieofroanoke, there is not much, but some experimental evidence for string theory. The problem: lack of falsifiability which QM and relativity provide.

    But consider: you're writing your hateful and anti-science comments on a product of solid state physics and quantum mechanics. The actions of the read/write head in your hard drive, of the laser in your optical drive and of the electrons in your computer's chipset are explainable only by quantum physics.

  • @virumoz I'm not anti-science, rahter anti smug, self-important, obvious asshole types that pretend to be better, smarter than everyone else. That describes Susskind.

  • willieofroanoke, you have to consider the possibility that your assessment of Susskind (as well as many other folks and things) may just be wrong. I for one see no clues for what you think is obvious.

  • @virumoz Really? Maybe you better Goggle Susskind's history of what a bad tempered, hot head prone to hold grudges, pick fights and disrespect his fellow researchers. Maybe I know him way better than you do.

  • If you mean his scientific dissent with Hawking, willieofroanoke, well -- that's what science is about: testing and challenging of ideas and hypotheses. Other than that, can you please be a tad more substantive? On what occasions was Susskind ever more of a hot head than, say, Feynman or, I dunno, Hoyle?

  • @virumoz well duh.... I think you proved my point. A lot of scientists, many that seek the limelight are to be honest arrogant pricks. Sorry, I have no use for such types. For every Susskind, there's a 100 smarter, kinder more controlled scientists happy to just do their thing and have no interest becoming a "rock star". All I'm going to say on the topic. Have a good day.
