  • Make a prediction, asshole!

  • Edward Witten ftw

  • im so into this kinda stuff, but it might as well be in spanish to me. but that said, i wish i could learn it, but im not worthy. lol.

  • @6868curtiss Well, very few people ARE capable of it. You need tons of math/physics well beyond standard post-graduate studies.

  • he can be a genius BUT HE'S BORING!

  • head assplode

  • This guys an alien!!!! That's why he sounds like that. His voice is already coming out of a speaker so it's distorted when it gets played from another speaker/dimension when you hear it lol hahahahaha figured that out (;

  • Why can't the smartest man on earth get good AV support so I can hear the questions being asked and hear him without distortion?

  • There's wormholes behind black holes?!? So you get transported to another place in the universe if you get sucked in a black hole? It's amazing how these scientists can use their mathematical formulas to make sense of something so distant they'll never be able to visit it.

  • my belife is that like now a universe b4 us had blk holes eating more and more consuming all known particles and finally released its energy and that is the big bang

    all previous known atoms all formed into 1 massive unstable blk hole which 1 day started life for our universe.....just my thoery

  • @silverchill1 A for effort...

  • i'm not even gonna try to understand, I think this is probably very daunting for alot of people, couse they wouldn't understand what the guy is saying, I can'y understand him even when he talks in interviews about simple things

  • @Zee96969696 I'm doing linear algebra/calculus now. I'm a beginner university student. To me, Isomorphisms, homomorphisims, linear transformations, etc. sound strange. But THIS, this is beyond the comprehension of a normal persons brain even if they spent a lifetime working on it. I heard that only about 30 people on the planet understand string physics.

  • @netminderxp and NOBODY understands quantum mechanics

  • @Zee96969696 lol:D

  • This man should not be taken seriously. He obviously has hyper-syntactical autotrophia. Just kicking around endless syntax in his sick brain. Nothing useful will ever come from his work. And thank God for that.

  • @bonnarj7 shut up with your f*&&ing religion

  • @bonnarj7 he already has unified the 5 versions of string theory into a unified M-theory. he is also the only theoretical physicist to have one a Fields medal...yeah you're right nothing useful will ever come from his work

  • @bonnarj7 So mathematics is wrong then..? Sounds like your the one not to be taken seriously. Oh right you said "thank god." You REALLY shouldn't be taken seriously.

  • Never study in the US. Americans are oppressive people. They kicked me from three physics departments in their country because I am a Muslim student.

    حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل

  • @majamr7 idiot.

  • @MMAoracle Thanks

  • @majamr7 Maybe it was your deductive abilities, because clearly the reason you werent able to study physics werent due to the fact that you happen to be religious.

  • @majamr7 Pardon me sir, but you are a lying faggot.

  • @geturphil69

    No sir, please don't misunderstand me. Not all people are Americans like you. It's only spiteful Americans like you who are lying faggots.

  • @majamr7 right. if you got kicked out of school it was because your a moron. not because you're a muslim. the ACLU would be all over that shit-not to mention other organizations. discrimination is not tolerated in the academic field whatsoever. its far more likely that you failed to match your required GPA or something and got kicked out then blamed it on a race issue because you are a whiny bitch.

  • @geturphil69

    No Sir, I am not a moron. All the faculty members in the 3 departments know that I am an outstanding student, but when they felt that I am a Muslim student committed to my religion they did their best to kick me outside their departments in a very sly way, and it was my fault indeed not to learn from the first lesson. Americans never want true Muslims to learn or even have the feeling of success.

  • @majamr7 Your generalization of Americans-what thy want, how they feel, etc- discredits everything you say. You speak of Americans as if they are all the same when in reality we are probably the most diverse country on earth. And in the academic field it is the hope of the professors to teach students so that they can go on to be great at what they do... it is why they teach. If your story is true provide evidence and contact the ACLU. If not, quit your fucking bitching.

  • @majamr7 you are an idiot....stop trolling and whining on youtube..its totally pointless...

  • @majamr7 You're an idiot

  • @JESSFALLINGDOWN

    You are right; I am indeed an idiot to think to immigrate to your country.

  • Nobody want t even copy this video due to almost worst audio I ever heard in my 5000 videos watched on youtube,witch make me think that some dont have even the basic hearing or alternate hearing eg-the opposite to goldyears-This is awful

  • The sound is bad.

  • The Euclidean point seems to be so ethereal...

    All the same, human beings!

    Humans may at least be linked to quantum fluctuations...

    What about the Euclidean point?!

  • even God cannot save us. mrq has been here alone talking to himself for monthas together. He has also hijacked other channels.

    Is he really a creation of God?

  • I want to set side by side Jesus and Euclid. What tough souls! By doing that I feel like revisiting the war between Israelites and Greeks 150 so years BCE... Before these two strong souls, how frail are we, the remaining human beings!

  • Just for fun: the formula 'E=MC2' is wholly contained in the symbol 'E'. Synthesis to the square!

  • oh boy. God save us all. mrq is alone and talking to himself in this channel.

  • I believe I am trying to say that an Euclidean point has got a hidden embedded spacetime potential. I am no sure, tough!

  • SEP tentatively shows that Euclidean points are connected to some mysterious superposition of states. Could we apply quantum mechanical qualities to Euclidean points? Euclidean points do not have dimension but you can represent, say, a segment of a straight line with a set of them. How do you do the trick? I can say that you borrow spacetime from somewhere... because evidently a quality/dimension emerged which was not there! Wherefrom? Human will?! Wigner says that inventing is our business!

  • Ok, physicists are shameless intruders! Hilbert was really terrified with the thought of having a physicist say 'Look, here is the Continuum. This is the real stuff!' He, then, hyper-counteracted a 100 years of human endeavour saying that 'it is dangerous to let physicists do physics!'. Anyway, for that matter, I am not either a Catholic or a Physicist!

  • I wish to define a mathematical-physical term 'neighborhood' as a region enveloping a potential of the fundamental state. I 'm not sure I can, though!

  • Two things emerge: 1.'neighborhood' as a metaphysical possibility for 'spacetime' which is exposed by a symmetry break. 2. As expected, Euclid was completely unaware of it!

  • An Euclidean point even though dimensionless has got neighborhood! Not that surprisingly, behind the invention of the Euclidean point is a hidden symmetry which by breaking out let go a beautiful flower we call emergence.

  • To start with something radical, the mathematical object representing the physical string is made of Euclidean points. This invented Euclidean entity is a dimensionless object ontologically deprived of any spacetime connection. Following to the Strong Principle of Equivalence, I want to know what is the "existentiality" of an Euclidean point so that I can refer to its possibility to act?

  • More precisely, it seems that an Euclidean point possess a hidden  spacetime property which allows its visualization by humans.

  • As I've heard the string is supposed to be a physical object with a mathematical representation. Not to engage in a misrepresenting metaphysical discussion, one must explicitly expose the ontological mappings from one type of object to the other, since I believe this dialogue is unavoidable.

  • This is some serious stuff. Would take years of studies in mathematical physics to understand it.

  • Reminding "primitive recursive entities", I want to ask Dr. Ed Witten: 1. How the a string emerges in the universe? 2. Once emerged how it endures? 3. Can strings still emerge nowadays? 4. Supposing strings precede black-hole formation, how do they relate to each other? 5. Knowing the  fundamental relation of Entropy X Life, what about Black-holesXStringsXLife? 6. What would, then, be the relation SupersymmetryXLife? Please, talk to me!

  • I would dare to say that the black holes at the center of every galaxy are the evolution of the outcome of the fundamental supersymmetry break, commonly known as the "primitive superstrings".

  • We can suppose that the quantum fluctuation wherefrom our universe emerges is indeed a fundamental supersymmetry break of a hypothetical superposition of states of a Mysterious Continuum. One should expect that "superstrings"would be the next superposition of states, shouldn't we?

  • Taking the essence of a graviton as a closed string, it reminds me of a singularity. As Henry Miller says "Man walks around the abyss. Man trends the womb". Perfect invention!

  • According to Wigner - symmetry science genius - what matters is the invention of concepts. The "superstring" is evidently one of such... Every mathematician knows that an "open interval" (let us say, the exemplar "]0, 1[") of the real numbers, can be mapped to the whole set of reals. The string is not open (forget the graviton for a while!) but it vibrates... so it can be mapped to, and really stand for, particles! As a basic invention this is pure genius! Isn't it?

  • Prof. Witten is speaking well..and clearly. But it`s just math..modern differential geometry..to be precise. The important thing to note is: where is the physical evidence to support his mathematical claims??

  • @alex01M9L1 : Will we ever be able to verify by empirical means that which is claimed?

  • Its interesting how people this brilliant can't learn how to communicate fully.

  • well to put it in an over-simplified and crude example, it's like people try to talk to dogs. they don't really know how to dumb themselves down to the level of a dog to communicate what they really want. we ask dogs to drink water in language instead of showing them where the water is. it's rather odd don't you think

  • Ah!Ah!Ah! We love the dog family. Her name is Bebe (Baby). It is so difficult to understand her that I've become Bebe's voice in family conversations... Oh, barking to the moon!

  • :D haha

  • LOLLL @ whysoblueberry.... hahah great

  • What the fuck are you talking about, you douche?

  • wow...

  • wow...you can't complete a sentence.

  • I would pose the possibility of unity or the theory of everything or the unified field as Einstien refered to it is experiential. If you accept the vibrational harmonics of vibrating infinately small strings then who or what is playing the Music so to speak.

    I suggest that the most harmonic vibration

    that is ordering by it's nature is LOVE consciousness itself. Hence those individuals who experienced unity Consc.

    have experienced the unified field directly.

  • That's beautiful... I want more of it!

  • Nerd!!!!!!!!!

  • We know a profound relation of entropy and organic processes. Schrödinger says in his famous book "What Is Life" that we don't eat to gain energy but to counterbalance entropy. So we are antientropic entities. In order for life to emerge there must have large scale highly entropic structures like the sun to begin with. In this way, black-holes are more than fundamental for the emergence of life. As information packing the DNA must in some way relate to black-holes. Correct? What then?

  • he has bit unusual male voice :)

  • I want to post three questions for Witten:

    Would be possible life without black-holes?

    Is this question answerable?

    If the second question answer is either "yes" or "no", then what would be the importance to answer the first question for physics, taking either ways?

  • these are really interesting questions !

    keep up the good work, the answer to these i have sought for some time now.

    you are so smart. like really really smart. i think you should win a nobel prize for smartness. really really smartness. so smart that you must be maybe even a scientist ! like a real one i mean. someone who does a lot of science and stuff like that. very black science, like an iris, a black hole, a portal, to what ever you may chose to believe that flows through it.

  • I am indeed after three nobel prizes... Maybe I get one! Anyway, only the fun of it is worth being after as Feynman humbly (really?) recognizes...

  • I want to be a scientist too but unfortunately i have chlamydia

  • Here, my friend, is a black side of the kind of science I honor: To Einstein's "my-pen-is-my-lab", I reply "My mind is my most dear lab!". A friend of mine says that "God cannot lie to us". So, this is a justifiable good reason for hope within our common human pain and adversities. Good luck for you and I hope you'll get the fun science can offer us.

  • thanks for the support.

    also, I was unaware that Einstein paralleled his penis and his lab. I need to create a great acronym making reference to my infected vagina and the experiment lab i set up at home!

    thanks for the great insight.

    Did Einstein also suffer from an STI?

  • Naturally, Einstein really referred to his "pen", the object he used to write his famous equations with... the penis connection is a black freudian edipian humor, right? About STI, Einstein used to say this: "Man thinks and plans with the upper part but it is the lower parts which decides his fate."

  • Ed Witten is trying improvements over Einstein's concepts - the principles of equivalence and relativity principally - and and he's really saying that he would like to go up on the hierarchy of the arrows of explanation. But he cannot do it without including entities capable of self-reference. Then he must resort to a mathematical principle which embodies such capability for a sort of objects.

    Maybe, then, the monster group would be tamed for Witten to gallop on it!

    What about it, guys?!
