Dr Brian Cox on the Holographic principle

[stingyringpiece]

he has a novel way of informing people that maybe haven't or wouldn't understand the complex diversity and weirdness of quantum physics which profoundly make our universe, everything in it, related to it...superb !

[deanmullen10]

One physicist explained another part of this theory that perhaps the universe is really a two dimensional universe of information, so I like to see the universe as computer software describing the 3D universe in which our brains (2d information describing the brain) interpret that information as it is described as therefore we see it as a 3D world in our mind, which is within our brain which is 2D information which describes a 3D brain.

[jmbs0088]

mathematics+weed=vast knowledge

[jmbs0088]

he smokes weed

[henrytdsimmons]

@jmbs0088 That would be awesome

[aFemale1]

What a beautiful person he is, inside out. Really.

[LetsTalkSense1]

@aFemale1 He's a prick and a bully underneath it all, don't think you understand someone by what you see on TV, because TV is all an act

[aFemale1]

@LetsTalkSense1 Hey..how do you know he is a prick and a bully ? :-)

[TCupUK]

I think he needs to revise his understanding of this theory.

[GAMESGLORIOUSGAMES]

@TCupUK u understand that this is old and things get outdated...

[lovetruthist]

For a terrific read on this topic get 'The Holographic Universe' by Michael Talbot. Its wonderful. Brian in the vineyard is a little off topic.

[AngeloNiklis]

Goes perfectly in line with my theory of hyperspace travel. May the Force be with you.

[JohananRaatz]

@tiatdivad How is Cox a disinfo agent? I'm in physics myself and from my own investigations -including my own QG model- the holographic principle is sound.

As for God, if anything the holographic principle rips the floor out on the materialistic atheists. We can know it all, but when we do it will be something so jarring, that it will make the hard-nosed materialists cringe. You should be happy about this development.

[fntime]

@JohananRaatz you are presuming people are truth seekers like yourself.

Most people like their own 'beliefs', changing them causes problems

so they argue & insult. Some in science wish to dismiss ideas

that contradict their 'philosophy'/beliefs, cause they're the experts.

Truth is not for everybody, but the ONLY thing for some.

Nice comment Johanan!

[JohananRaatz]

@fntime Thanks! Yeah that effects everyone to one degree or another. One has to get used to catching one's own biases like that.

[mcwinker]

brian cox, what a thick cunt

[206dam]

Sorry but that has nothing to do with the holographic principle

[TheNIGGYNOGGY]

@tiatdivad You poor soul. Spiritually speaking, we are growing so very interconnected. You seem to be very mislead by a common christian dogma. Remove the illusion of negativity that veils your eyes. After all, it's only your choice.

[Vire70]

@tiatdivad

You can Laugh all you want, but he who objects without reasoning is only acknowledging the point. What you described of God, and what most holy texts demand of people, is exactly that; slavery. The acknowledgement and submission to another being. On the basis of pitiful superstitions with no basis in reality.

Anyway, you have to bear in mind a -lot- of these diseases weren't even recognized a century ago. So saying it has never been higher is just deluded. There's no way to know.

[Vire70]

@tiatdivad

More importantly, even if it is true that chronic diseases have increased in propensity, it is just yet another of your deluded tactics to discredit medicine in pointing it out. Because it may be that those are problems, but for any problems medicine may cause (which in some cases may indeed be caused by greed), there are many many more problems solved by it.

You seem like the sort of person who would not take their kid to the hospital and instead pray over them until they die.

[Vire70]

@tiatdivad

So how is it that health wise, (which in many ways is simply summed up by overall life expectancy), that thing shave improved so much have say the last century? Is it simply magic? A giant coincidence that just happens to coincide with improvements in medicine? To be honest, I think you're just lying when you say you've worked in medicine. If you had then you never would have needed to ask me what improvements it has made.

[Vire70]

@tiatdivad

There are problems, of course. But you highlight these and ignore the innumerable advances these things have brought, like a true fearmongering ignoramus christian. Medicine hasn't cured cancer, but it has significantly upped peoples chances of surviving it. It has eradicated many, many devastating diseases that were responsible for hundreds of thousands or millions of deaths. Plague. Small pox. Etc. That you consider 'spiritual connections' significant compared to this... ignorance.

[Vire70]

@tiatdivad Science has lead to our current life expectancy rates. These apply mostly to the general population. They have increased consistently as societies have gotten technologically more advanced. How can you say that it is not serving mankind in the face of such realities?

And It is you who advocates slavery and ignorance - you JUST told us to stop searching for the truth, to meekly accept the opinion of another (God) - what is that if NOT slavery? It is the closest thing TO it.

[Vire70]

@tiatdivad

What an imbecile you are. If everyone in history had followed your advice, we would not have technology. We would not have medicine. We would not have education at all.

God is for simplistic fools who leave the real thinking to those who are willing to put forth a little effort to actually understand things. Keep your pitiful superstitions if you like, but don't try to force them on us.

[pedrosanchez89]

@tiatdivad So Brian cox is a hateful man now? Who are you to say what is for god and what is for man? It seems like you understand very little about love, physics or god. I would suggest, opening your mind, doubt everything and start questioning, and as long as you are rigorous with your doubt, you will only know the truth and I will be surprised if you find your way back to god, because for many reasons, god doesn't make any sense.

[TheNIGGYNOGGY]

@pedrosanchez89 <3

[poetaviolinista]

@tiatdivad Why would you not want to marvel at the beauty and intricacies of God's creation?

[heethen1]

And what has this got to do with holographic principle?

[Crayfish2020]

@heethen1 He doesn't really get to that part, but the essence is that when you get to sub-sub-atomic level the complexity disappears and things become "holographic" in nature. The theory then goes on and speculates that all we are is the quantum fluctuations on the event horizon of space/time that create this hologram.

[batitombo]

@heethen1 I'm asking myself the same question

[CACBCCCU]

I was looking at globular cluster UGC 9128 the other day, and darned if it doesn't look a lot like a hologram or a diffraction pattern of some sort. It seems to be dominated by stellar-scaled magnetic domains rather than a black hole at the core. Since gravity fascinates me, the thought occurred that a lot of the stars seen could be gravitational lensing artifacts, meaning the same star may show up as multiple images.

[Artisan1000]

Hmmm,Brian is a great physicist, however he is wrong in one episode. Big bang theory and the eventual end of the universe. Brian says that eventually the Universe will turn to dust and essentially stop. The OU research team is wrong - sorry to say that guys. You should have left a question at the end of the statement. Time is cyclical, eventually the universe will reform. If it did not then how are we here in the first place?

[sikthboy]

@Artisan1000 Actually it is you who is wrong. What Prof Brian Cox says is based upon ACTUAL EVIDENCE. It has been confirmed that the shape of the universe is flat by observing the cosmic microwave background radiation. Knowing the shape of the universe leads to the knowledge of its fate. It will continue to expand until entropy becomes zero and time will effectively stop. As opposed to what YOU WANT TO BELIEVE. Don't be so arrogant as to assert as fact something which is clearly a belief.

[pedrosanchez89]

@sikthboy @Artisan1000 You are both being a little arrogant, i am guessing Prof cox will have mentioned in the episode that it is the current held belief. The final fate of the universe is as yet un-confirmed. Artisan is being a bit of a muppet as there is no reason we couldn't come around the first time, but we do not yet understand dark matter and dark energy and these are things that directly influence this subject, so the best answer anyone can give atm is watch this space.

[heathey2]

I have been fortunate enough to see Dr Brian Cox in real life when he came and gave a lecture to my school science class. He's awesome and he certainly delivers himself very well.

[chodaboy51500]

This had nothing to do with the holographic principle. Change the title please.

[funky129]

physics rules! literally!!

[vfxjack]

This is not about the Holographic principle.

[IlRezzonico]

@vfxjack yeah - the title of this viddy-o is a total misrepresentation - not a single mention of interference or diffraction

[KillahMate]

@IlRezzonico 'Holographic' in this case doesn't refer to the optics - it's about that other characteristic of holograms; that every part of the hologram contains the entire hologram itself. So the previous hypothesis was that, at a quantum level, every part of reality contains the entirety of reality (in a certain sense). So as you zoom in things are always equally complex and it never ends. The new hypothesis is that, actually, maybe it does end and at some point there's simply nothing.

[sbergman27]

@KillahMate IIRC, another description of the holographic principle would be that our 3 dimensional space, with gravity, can be equivalently described by a 2 dimensional space, without gravity. This is strongly implied by the way the total entropy of a black hole is proportional to the surface area of its event horizon rather than the volume contained within it. Sean Carroll does a good job explaining the holographic principle in "From Eternity to Here".

[KillahMate]

@IlRezzonico It's a lot like fractals, but it's not 'fractal' because fractals are self-*similar*; when you zoom in things look sort of the same but not exactly the same, while holograms are self-*same*; when you zoom in every little part looks like the big part. If you see what I mean.

(A fractal reality would imply that the laws of physics are fundamentally (but slightly) different at different size scales, which would be interesting but I don't think is the case in our universe.)

[cmydna1]

god is a dj

[paddytheduck]

@cmydna1

so what happens when the mix ends? D=

[cmydna1]

@paddytheduck interesting. when the mix ends...

i get a new analogy lol

[uv4jjj]

anybody else think of a fractal when he was talkin about this..

[CACBCCCU]

Seems the closest thing to a superstring existing at normal energy levels is the dirac string, which could be viewed as a stringish-appearing encompassing complex of virtual photons linking the effective coulomb surface of each proton with each electron in an atom.

[CACBCCCU]

I guess another way of saying this is that normal objects are not made of strings, if you accelerate the whole galaxy up to almost light speed, the matter in your hand will not behave stringily, no matter what it's relativistic mass is, unless the earth smacks into a giant black hole in the process. It's still possible that everything came from a black hole system and is heading onto another black hole sytem, and accelerated particles might look like they're stringy masses when they break up.

[CACBCCCU]

I think what makes the superstring holographic is you can draw a flat model of a string on a 2-d page, yet it is supposed to fully represent a volume of space. Penrose's twistor strings, not surprisingly, remove all the hidden superstring dimensionality, leaving only 3 dimensions of space and one of time. Black hole systems pretty much reflect the information of the galaxy, but it is complementary and compressed in space, unlike the galaxy itself. Strong/gravity ~= galaxy/quark ~=10^38.

[CACBCCCU]

Matter at the tiniest scales runs out into a string at high energies just like a pile of spherical magnets can be pulled out into a string. The stringy high-energy state of the pile doesn't mean the pile is a string. A holographic principle derives directly from replacing a sphere with a long narrow cylinder, a form of stiff string, the volume and mass of a sphere doesn't increase linearly with the diameter, but the volume of the cylinder increases lineraly with length, as does the mass.

[tepanec]

fuck didnt undestood one one

[marshalllucky]

I think maybe dr fox has been watch too much of the doctor whoos ;-)

[LeconsdAnalyse]

This `principle` assumes a quantum-spacetime ! But there does NOT yet exist any bonafide physical theory that unites quantum mechanics and general relativity !!

[bongoreef]

Hi

it was from a BBC Horizon film called 'What on earth is wrong with gravity?', but this little bit did not feature as the film was already quite a mind bender....

[doubleja]

@bongoreef Quite ironic since now with Verlinde's entropic view of gravity (without gravitons), this might've been the most important bit.

[0TobyElliotNewt0]

@bongoreef Hi,

What documentary is this from? I would love to see it in full length...

[rmeddy1]

Sounds like Fractals

[opmofmind]

Dr. brian cox rocks i only wish there were more interest in these exotic theories its just down right awsome how the deeper we explore these theories the more bizzare the universe gets! Good show big fan cant wait to see more specials on the science channel!!

[23GrandMasterK]

I can't believe Cox is 42, he looks and talks like he's 26.

[Herv3]

@23GrandMasterK I think more like, He looks 26, is 42, but talks like he's a 1,000! :p

[BlockisticStudios]

@23GrandMasterK

Yeah! Here's to hoping it isn't just appearance and that he's got quite a lot more years (than most 42 year olds) left on him.

No, I don't know much about genetics. :(

[DRnick2359]

@23GrandMasterK yeah...more like 18 yrs. old.....I went to college with students that looked like him.....

[MrJules567]

I've written a song dedicated to Professor Brian Cox. You can find it on my channel or search "song for professor brian cox" and find my name Jules Mann. If you're free please check it out and leave a comment.

[ba3cool]

Brain Cox + Michio Kaku = Mind grenade; my brain just a55PL0D3s trying to think of the outcome.

[kitchenaut]

How is this about the Holographic principle?

[SatansFloater]

@kitchenaut My sentiments entirely. Not that I'm blaming Brian Cox mind you, just the bellend that named this video.

[therhythmicmenace]

Can anyone debate me? Or do I just have to put up with these fouled mouthed negative attacks

LIKE I SAID DEBATE ME OR LEAVE IT OUT.

[therhythmicmenace]

P.S. This video does not mention the Holographic universe at all???

P.P.S All solid matter is made of atoms, all atoms are at least 99% empty space. If all matter is made of atoms then even a solid rock contains energy in flux.

SO DEBATE ME DONT ATTACK ME

[therhythmicmenace]

Who ever is deleting my comments PLEASE STOP. it was teamqq that started using foul words, violence and hate.

[sidewaysfcs0718]

actualy, my bad , only PET scanners use positrons ....

sorry...

[therhythmicmenace]

@sidewaysfcs0718

Apology accepted Captain Needa

[therhythmicmenace]

@sidewaysfcs0718

only kidding

please ignore teamqq, his mind is stuck in a 3rd dimensional box

[whowebe43]

is brian cox real?

[rbolo29]

Moving Dimensions Theory(MDT)

[therhythmicmenace]

This Illuminati tool didn't even mention the holographic universe at all. Who cares about space time, why don't they stop mucking about and start designing and making magnetic engines to cure our energy issues. CERN is a waste of space time!

[sidewaysfcs0718]

they did that ..its called the MRI pet scanner .wich uses positrons ...

[therhythmicmenace]

I fail to see the connection with MRI and zero point magnetic engines?

[sidewaysfcs0718]

the pet scanner and the mri both use positrons to ...scan ....

[therhythmicmenace]

but they still need plugged into the grid, they create positrons for the purpose of scanning, they don't harness them form a magnet for the purpose of delivering energy that succeeds the energy used, or do they?

[sidewaysfcs0718]

what do u mean exactly i got a hard time understanding you ...

u said cern is a waste of space , first off if CERN didnt exist , the internet wouldnt exist ..

[teamqq]

@therhythmicmenace

Ignorance must be bliss.

Stupid Cunt.

[therhythmicmenace]

Negative and ignorant foolish child

WTF you talking about, challenge my comments or shut up!

[teamqq]

Your views and comments are already "challenged"

"start designing magnetic engines to cure our energy needs"

Clearly an internet idiot, go ahead believe in your fairytales.

do some research, have a clue. or fuck off.

you challenged little brain dead cunt.

Probably a religious twat as well.

[therhythmicmenace]

@teamqq

You still have not challenged my comments, why are you so full of hate, you presume I am a religious nut. Well you are obviously a militant atheist with nothing better to do than hate and spew negativity.

DEBATE ME PROPERLY OR PI55 OFF

[therhythmicmenace]

@teamqq

Still not challenged

[teamqq]

LOL looking at your channel shows 175 uploads.. the ones i can see about global warming all in the title.

Honestly.. you are a purveyor of drivel.

Wasn't long ago that there was this thing called the "ice age" then the planet warmed up.

Shit happens.

Sometimes it happens a little faster

[therhythmicmenace]

@teamqq

'Wasn't long ago that there was this thing called the "ice age" then the planet warmed up' what the f*** has that got to do with anything. again debate my original comments and try doing it without resorting to none sensical attacks if you can other wise you are wasting my valuable time. Think you can do that smart a55?!?

[therhythmicmenace]

@teamqq ever heard if logic, your comments seem to lack it

[therhythmicmenace]

@therhythmicmenace 'of logic'

[AnarchyGuild]

lol cunt.

every mothers day needs a mothers night

[therhythmicmenace]

@AnarchyGuild

Another tosser who cannot debate and only attack.

[therhythmicmenace]

@teamqq

You really are a wanker, why can't you debate me properly

[2222554]

Dr brian Cox, of CERN, speaking about the

"Holographic Principle"...

[whowebe43]

is brian cox fake or something?

[stmk0]

the relativistic doppler effect has no inclusivity with "space time expansion."

[orange70383]

he was in a heavy metal band as well.

[tailpig]

Title says "Dr Brian Cox on the Holographic principle" and the description says "Dr brian Cox explains the Holographic Principle..."

He doesn't explain or even mention the holographic principle.

Is this part of a longer video in which he actually does this?

[cyberflo999]

"That" as you call it, is not intelligence, but attempt to go beyond the present frontier of knowledge.

He didn't mean what you understood of it.

He explained(with an obvious passion) that the "most elementary structure of spacetime" (so to speak) was recently suggested to be simpler than what was PREVIOUSLY believed.

Trust me, in physics, you leave with a basic, simple assuption, easy to understand, and it can get very complicated, very quickly!

[MMAGRO1]

Whats the matter with you man

[theorytest5]

oh go fuck yourself

[KrisRamJ]

What a wonderful analogy. I love Brian's obvious passion and his skilled communication style.

[ocerg1111]

@KrisRamJ and he's cute too. he's like the Davey Jones of physics lol

[thevendrwu]

etime space you are a douchebag.

[Rohnequelle]

This man rocks! he is freak and intelligent at the same time...wicked! XD

[blobrana]

Facinating

[apachedisco]

fascinating even.
