Michio Kaku on String Theory 4

[HawkAndAHandsaw012]

2:35 "Trillions of years from now, we physicists believe that the universe will end not in fire, but in ice." - reference to "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost

3:40 "The string theory may be a theory of nothing, rather than a theory of everything. That's the rub." - potentially a reference to Shakespeare's "To be or not to be" soliloquy ("to sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub")?

These may be a stretch, but, as they come from someone whose field of study isn't literature, I'm impressed.

Michio said "I and my colleagues", not "My colleagues and I". No wonder this theory hasnt been solved.

[messi996]

one thing i love about science is that no matter how great something sounds how close it is to just fitting, it can still be wrong, while carns new discovery hasnt been proven it just shows we dont no anything, personally i think the quest to glory is more rewarding then finally reaching it because really whats the point to live if you dont have goals, once your life work is finished part of your life is over forever as well

[taliskwackerman]

its the "Music of the Ainur" ..Tolkien finally theorized by Prof. Kaku. :)

[helloshayan]

I found it :))))))))))

Answers = ask God

[DrKillaser]

and now go to most viewed video on YouTube,,,, and see how many views it got... around 500 million views.... and do you want a better thing... that video is for Justin Gayber... :(... while this video didn't get 6000 views yet.. (my view is 5916)

what a world.. :(

[Zandonus]

@DrKillaser the entire universe is being shaped by that horrible abomination of music...the way i understood the string theory...

[razberysorbet]

i am SOO high and this is SOO amazing

[enniopat]

how did nothing give raise to something? that's the problem?

[TotalGameMaster]

but when we can leave our universe then... why couldnt we master it?

[roadkill1001]

@TotalGameMaster We dont have a big enough whip

[soulreaver214]

to what I understand, at the moment, this theory can explain why light is dual in nature,, because its neither particle nor wave because its a string,, haha.. ???

[ragasaraswati]

@soulreaver214 I believe so. Maybe energy is like lonely tunes, while matter is like beefy chords.

[Bluedash3r]

why does the theory has to be explained in a one inch long equation? how does he know it has to be one inch.?? im not saying i believe or dont believe in string theory im just skeptic about it

[bungerman1000]

@Bluedash3r not necessarily one inch, he merely means it must be simplistic in nature.

[pjbomegacorps]

well lets smash diffrent atoms and find out each resonance or sound it makes. then smash two neutrons or what not in a disirend resonance field and in the chaos the strings might want to look for the first " orderly " thing. like a life boat.

[ambinautic]

maybe it is possible, and we are looking in the wrong place for the big bang,,,

[Shockszzbyyous]

@xLACKOSx googol plex, is if you write it down, in scientific annotation, it's smaller then an inch :)

[neuspeed79]

1:20 'no one is smart enough to solve the equations that I and my collegues...' that sounds a bit arrogant.. I wonder what would Michio say about Tesla.

[randomcrazyness]

did he say beter microwave reception? lol

[NSAdonis]

@randomcrazyness Yes, he did, and by that he didn't mean the kitchen appliance ;)

[Michel0555]

So what actually is string theory?

[ScientiaMathema]

Strings, closed loops of energy a planck length in diameter, are the fundamental basis of all "fundamental" particles. Each particle corresponds to a different harmonic on the string.

[Shockszzbyyous]

@ScientiaMathema but if a quark is a string of energy that's a plank length in diameter. but a quark is bigger then one plank...

[MidasRivers]

@ScientiaMathema yea thats a great explanation. Everyone understands that.

[sushanalone]

@Michel0555 simply said: all matter is made of atoms. atoms are made of electrons, neutrons and protons. but it is found that these particles known to be the smallest indivisible particles are explained by equations of wave form. that means they are and behave like waves=music light energy etc.so since entire universe is energy and matter it can be explained as a vibrating fabric of "strings" or membranes. each frequency of a part of string makes it a electron,neutron or proton etc.

[sushanalone]

@sushanalone that is my understanding pls correct if necessary .

[MidasRivers]

@Michel0555 its the idea that everything in the universe vibrates at different levels. Like solid objects to boiling water to steam. The faster particles move in vibration the lighter they are. Its the idea that we vibrate at 3rd density on a solid plan but there could be densities so high above us that the level they vibrate at is unseen.

[Michel0555]

@MidasRivers

Yes I know that whether H2O is water or steam, depends on the temperature, and temperature can be explained as the rate of vibrating. I just don't get what it has to do with strings or membranes.

[sagan1976]

@Michel0555 Strings and membranes are close enough real life models of things you can relate to, like the atom's pudding model in the 19th century. A ten dimensional string is something so far fetched that it might look like a Buick, for all intents and purposes. The term string is just to create familiarity through a common notion. And since it is a purely mathematical notion, it becomes increasingly difficult to explain without the help of things we can relate to.

[lilsj206]

Here is the problem. I like the idea of them having the courage of trying to create a universe out of there head but and with there mathematics but the is a problem when we create something it's never perfect..

I mean we make technologies day and night it's never perfect and we as humans are creation not creator who have the power of trying to multitude a creation to becoming a creature..

It will just not work. We are not perfect and there for all theory are not perfect and they know that to

[tiborsama]

this is one great man !

one to remember and respect

[THETOPZOMBIEKILLER]

We all think you are going to find it, and I personally hope so.

[BeakyRed]

Yeah. The universe is made out of music?

[zetsway5000]

Vibrating super small strings, that's the theory.

[HoustonAllStar5]

smartest man ever. he is the next Einstein.

[chrisbarbieri]

I completely agree

[UnforgivingCritic]

no, coz he already IS Einstein.. only in a Japanese version.. but not using a ching chong language, lol
