  • string theory smling theory, where''s my beer? I intend to stay drunk and just pretend that i didn't watch this.... It is actually hurting my brain.

  • this really didn't simplify anything. i don't understand anything.

  • @heyfkldsm Maybe that says a bit more about you than it does about the video.

  • He's the guy from "The Universe"

  • People shouldn't be judged by the color of their skin, social status, looks etc. But rather what is inside that thing that rests upon our shoulders :P.

  • Indian Journal of Science and Technology is a peer-reviewed journal which published an excellent article called, "Binary Precession Solutions based on Synchronized Field Couplings". Yes, the motion of neutron star systems have been successfully linked to quantum structures. What String Theory tried to do has been done without Strings.

  • now this is a very nice shirt!

  • Its easy to simplify, just get rid of string 'theory', it isnt even a real theory anyways and shouldnt be called one, maybe something like 'string Hypothisis' untill it can be proven.

  • semantics

  • Samuel L Jackson was here

  • I'm here to find out what Sheldon Cooper is talking about

  • @RagingQuietFury loooooooool :)

  • i dont understand what this guy is saying, let me try again *head explodes*

  • @BrandonBlaze904 he doesn't know what he's saying either. When he made a string, a point, he started talking gibberish. Indeed he did.

  • simplifying louis

  • as i was watching this video i was thinking i know there is going to be some people arguing about race in the comments

  • But why do you need a string structure to vibrate, can't a point vibrate?

  • @NielsG070 a point has no dimension in space

  • @0cguitarfreak no, if the point is in space, it has the potential of the dimensions of the point in space which is in itself a dimension. A non-point has no dimension in space.

  • @NielsG070: If a point object is vibrating in place then there is no wavelength. if a point object is attached to the end of a fixed end string and oscillates up and down it will create a wavelength and a function that will follow the wave equation.

  • dam i dont understand. every time i hear the word quantum i think of quantum leap. that was a cool show

  • I'm really interested in all this i just wish i had the brain power to understand, 90% of it goes straight over my head.

  • @OnTheStall There is nothing to worry about. There is big backround in classical and modern physics that has to be mastered in order to understand quantum mechanics and string theory as beyond. Simplifying string theory to a non physisist, is analogous to simplifiying the function of a car's engine to 6 year old kid. Not quite easy.. Do not forget that a physisist wasn't born as a physisist. It takes years of studying and labor to become one.

    Friendly, Petran.

  • My god, it's 2011 and people still care about the color of skin..

    It's gonna be a while until we understand who we truly are, isn't it?

  • I have one of those toys, the one on the shelf behind him. Mine is only orange and yellow though.

  • need more simplifying :P

  • Wow, I just don't care about his skin colour at all, he is a clever man no matter what his skin colour, isn't it more racists to think 'wow he's a clever black man who knows something'?

  • @DevoteeTrance Thank you!!!!

  • The people who disliked this are probably loop quantum gravity proponents.

  • They should have IQ restrictions on youtube for videos that require a certain amount of mental capacity to even comprehend what is going on in the video so that we can have real intellectual conversations without lesser minded people fighting over a such a mundane topic as skin color interfering.

  • @1tZn0TS34n well said...i was just about to type same statement until i saw urs lol

  • @1tZn0TS34n I'm not a smart person but I want to learn these things.

  • is that guy from Manswers??? LOL wow

  • man,even after 7 years i still fall a sleep half way during a physics lecture,never the less i learned a great deal from this video

  • Could the multiple dimension or parallel universes of String Theory be future possibilities of what might happen within our one three dimensional Universe?

    A dynamic Universe of continuous change or creation that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual creating our own future!

  • String theory doesn’t prove a way our universe is in the unique configuration we find it to be.

  • @urukihai4523 Uhhh... yes it does. Doesnt prove but explains.

  • He is an African.

  • Ramtinking sees a black man and thinks:

    *Wait, what is a black man doing in college, talking about physics?*

    *What if black men aspired to be something other than gangsta/rappers? Is that even possible?

    *Ramtinking writes patronising comment about black aspirations. AND Gets upvotes.

    FML

  • @CaptainAndrewWiggins Has it occurred to you that Ramtinking may be black? Just asking?

  • I still don't understand..

  • We look at our universe and see that it seems to work something like this: 2 + 2 = 9 And we say that is not right, how can this be? So we make up a theory that states that the first 2 is really a 7. So now 7 + 2 does = 9. Great, it now makes complete sense. So we question, how can 2 be a 7? 2 is not a 7. Well you see, 2 is really a 7 in a different dimension I just made up. Sorry this is just an exploration, not my opinion. I don't know enough about this to have an opinion. Please challange.

  • @cleverVideoMaker antimatter - obviously! the god particle... it explains all that one can not. Yeah seems to be the same as substituting your 2 for a 7 in my mind...

  • I wanna be like him when I grow up.

  • How did this turn into a skin colour debate... Physics are being discussed grow up people

  • @4lc0h0l grow up people? that's impossible give up on that, the sooner the better for you.

  • One of the best videos explaining string theory in a easy way to understand but at the same time revealing things that makes it not sound stupid

  • Its really attractive and pleasing to follow when someone explains complicated things so well.

  • Excellent simplification. At the very least, string theory provides a new approach towards old problems. I am sure it will expand our understanding of the fundamental sciences.

  • It's truley sad that we can't just be people. instead we are judged by the stereotype inwhich we have no control over being labeled with.

  • @DeandresPerez1991 man im black and i  want to be a theoretical physicist i know what you mean

  • Well explained didn't understand the connection between particles and strings. before.

  • This is my 10th video and I still can not understand this string shit!

  • @christic1978

    not your fault bro, epic supirior nerdy science guys don't understand it ither and still trying to figure this out

  • We are the Joe Dirt of the universe, we get visited, and we have been all the way to the moon ohhhe wow.

  • Yes. This is why we worship his noodly appendages. Ramen.

  • um one question who created the creater? whats outside of the universe? mind bottling questions, im pretty sure none of these questions will be answered in billions of year from, our only answers are theories

  • @gmarproductions Obviously there are an infinite number of universes (in the multiverse). It follows from the fact that the big bang even occurred. New universes are being created (by big bangs) and destroyed (dissolved back into nothing) at an infinite rate. I believe string theory will prove this out.

  • i like how he has a childrens toy on his book shelf, hahahaha

  • @TheSimpleKiwi Not a  toy

  • is it possible to have a possibility that can not exceed a certain dimension? for instance a possibility that a forth dimension exist but the fith does not, or skips a dimesion? 4 to 6 no 5?

  • @ray101322 Do you correctly understand the meaning of extra dimensions? I think not.

    Are left and right part of the first, second or third dimensions? Even if you gave me a number if you just tipped your head a little it would change the ruin everything. The number you attribute to a dimension is irrelevant, it just matters how many dimensions there are, how more ways can you grow?

  • @ray101322 If you use a cartesian referencial you have three dimensions (x,y,z).Let's forget about time for now.

    If you add an extra one (x,y,z,w) it just gives you one more way to grow, the 4th dimension!

    Either (x,y,z) or (y,z,w) would be the same thing.

    When you talk about the 5th dimensions, youre kinda implying there is a 4th,3rd,2nd and 1st dimension. Or put simple, youre implying there are 5 dimensions.

    Just try to play with cartesian coordinates or search for carl sagan, 4th dimension.

  • Does this not boil down to how space-time itself physically acts at the smallest possible scale? What we think of as empty space must still be made of something, else you could not recognize it as empty, just as 0s represent no information on a hard drive, no information is still information is it not?

  • Electron Mass = 9.10938*10^-31 = 9.4297048^-25 – c squared = -299.792.458 = -1

  • Does anyone know what his h-index is?

  • this are strings vibrating with each other, causing it to move and releasing different sounds sizes smells particles everything imaginable or possible is created by this vibrations, this make it the father of all theories. now someone tell me if I'm right or wrong, if I'm wrong I'm so sorry cause I'm no scientist :)

  • I always wondered what the comments would be like for something like this, kind of like if you look up The quadratic formula and you will see ppl acting like they are smarter than someone else who they are fighting with online like they are their worst enemy in the world!! Cracks me up...

  • 'How does it relates'? Genius presentation, editing, and proof-reading. You lost me on that account.

  • I heard hes literally the smartest scientist

  • @OMGITSDRJESUS i don't know if he's the smartest scientist. in fact no scientist today can be considered the smartest scientist. he's one of the brilliant theoretical physicists of today, but no physicist today compares to Einstein.

  • @FallofDarkness55 its kinda sad actually. in the past we had all these smart people inventing things finding out amazing formulas. Nowadays ppl are barely passing highschool. I wish we could bring Einstien back for a day.

  • @RandomSkittles Einstien dident make it to the 3rd grade and he had assburges

  • And this is the simplified version of the the theory..lol I'm lost.

  • This guy is a joke. It is theory, remember that.

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 so is gravity...

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 Your opinion does not matter, you are just a vibrating string

  • @TheBbergner86 your stupid at least we 're able to ask and think about were and how we got here. wer gona be gods in like 100 years ha

  • @TheBbergner86 haha, actually not just 1 vibrating string. many more.

  • @ZerkosXD 13 perhaps?

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 So is all knowledge.

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 Where are your ears? He just said (out loud) "we don't actually know yet if it works..."

  • @TheJosh1111111111111 It appears YOU have become the joke here!!

  • A gravitational force field is made up of two sub fields. One opperates as a excursive field and the other as an incursive component. I've named the excursive field the X-gravitational factor which serves to repel other worlds and develop an orbital corridor for those worlds impeding them from invading other orbital corridors.The second one is gravity which coalesces and unifies matter towards a concentric point from whence the force fields wave of gravity originates.

  • @jqs1943 Shut up

  • like most idiots, i just want to see what it looks like from far away.

  • applying mathematics to "fit" the physical models is not sufficient to meet the criteria of a legit THEORY per se. That is what string theory (M-theory) has done - elegant mathematics to further explain some areas of quantum gravity, however it has fallen short in making viable predictions that can be tested in experimenal physics today. Yet to take place is a revolution in theoretical physics which will solve the paradoxes in both QM and GR while completely unifying all 4 forces in nature.

  • @cesarjom But what if we, as humans, have arrived to the point to where mathematics has suggested us very radical concepts of nature, but we are not able to test it because we don't know how or we don't have the technology for it? What are we to make of that? Physicists have arrived at string theory in doing what they have always done....follow the implications of the mathematics. Following the implications of the mathematics needs to be taken seriously. Look at black holes for example...

  • @GunsNRosesbitches well you really have to concider the adjustments made by the later examinations and studies which really had no funding at the time. Its a really important piece of the puzzle. Understanding that can really clarify this for you.

  • @cesarjom you start with a theory to make predictions, you then go looking for proof of those prediction, find out your completely wrong and make better predictions. Each iteration brings you closer to the truth. I don't think string theory is even close to the truth but it might lead us to a new discovery.

  • How about insted of strings to imagine a spherical standing wave "something" that also vibrates.The energy needed to sustain that standing wave should come from somewhere that that we could call "Aether". Or we can imagine sferical matter that stores energy in form of standing wave vibration in equilibrum with its own internal forces. I beleive that Nature likes to keep it simple at minimum energy state and dimensions so the spherical vibrating matter is more likely than a string unit...

  • @nfexp lol

  • @exp i agree 100% everything on a larger level is spherical, or almost, planets and stars ! why should it be any different , something that would look like water droplets in space , maybe ?

  • @GrantDavidGreenham The only thing bigger in theory would have to be the mass of a black hole. In theory, who is to say that it was in fact much bigger and the density was so great it curved space with its weight and fell in on itself, warping space. The consideration of atoms containing whole universes is also taken into consideration, as they are also spherical. Just in theory of course, but thats me just typing out loud lol.

  • @nerrnerr321 haha yeah ive often said the same thing to myself haha

  • Clifford Johnson makes somehow manages to make physics even more interesting than they already are. 'Love him, 'love everything about him.

  • Mathematical models are nothing but a toy if they don't represent reality.

  • oh look Samuel L. Jackson! :)

  • i like this guy

  • Escape while you can, string theory is a dead end. Nothing can be proved experimentally and mathematical models are "forced" to work just for the sake of working.

  • He should be a role model to ALL black men. NOT 50 CENT OR TUPAC

  • @ramtinking Perhaps a role model for all men...period

  • @ramtinking No you are wrong, he should be a role model to all men... race should have nothing to do with this. (yes I get what your saying)

  • @ramtinking

    This shows how ignorant and inexperienced some people are. 50 cent and Tupac are not the majority of black people's role models. Just like any other WHITE person, they look up to a majority of wealthy, educated, law-abiding idols. Go hang out with some black people before you try and judge them. And if you are black, youve shot yourself in the foot and encouraged more people to support your steriotypical beliefs.

  • @ramtinking Your statement is pretty prejudiced. Can't he be a role model to EVERYONE just because he's intelligent? Not just a role model to black men because he's black.

  • @ramtinking He should be a role model to ALL men.

  • @ramtinking how right you are, unfortunately there's people who understand that, powerfull people of this planet,and the importance of that for young black men and there future's, so will never let that happen or use the're influence on society to promote it. Because the influence of rap stars and the gangster fantasy's they give to black youth does a job for them, it keeps them down in society.

  • @ramtinking LOL!

  • @ramtinking Him and Neil Degrasse Tyson. Both of those men are very inspirational and are great role models for all races.

  • @ramtinking Who the f wants to be a nerd? Thats how most guys think.

  • @cassius969 why would you NOT want to be a nerd in this day and age?

  • @ramtinking

    Tupac rapped about the truth of street life, unlike the new rappers like Cash Money and Lil Wayne. He doesn't deserve to be in that list.

  • @ph0chiz0 just stop. "street" life is no aspect good. why would you even think he would be remotely close to a good role model?

  • @ramtinking You're a bad role model for all the people that liked this comment.

  • @ramtinking He should just be a role model to everyone, don't you think?

  • @ramtinking : Why not a role model to all short sighted men. Do black men need separated role models?

  • @ramtinking He's a great role model, period. A highly intelligent, eloquent man.  Nothing wrong with that example for everyone, knowhatahmean?

  • I'm an chemical engineering major and Physics is the most useless class on earth. Physicists make simple stuff more complicated.

  • @OfDaHeeZy84 (o_o) Odd, I thought of it the other way that Physics does explain the most complex things in simple terms. It is definately important for chemical engineering being that university physics does entail chemistry as well--particularly nuclear energy and optics, etc. From the sound of it, you are just doing your CE BS, yes? Goodluck with that. I am in the same league as you then.

  • @OfDaHeeZy84 mabz your just a simple person :)

  • .1's and 0's people, , 1 is nothing mathmatized so we can understand sOmThInG. 0 is 1 calapsed in through its self and its locked in like an egg making centrificle force equal to the 1 witch is flowing a little bit faster than the speed of light, 0 is the speed of light going no were, they co exist by the 0 going around the one creating north and south but they lock in again upside down creating ac/dc and free will, as the 1 pass's trough the two 0 interacted strings 1 gets swurled making lightH

  • okay so physicists have discovered molecules, then they discovered atoms, and within an atom they discovered a nuclei with nucleons i.e. protons and neutrons inside the nuclear shell and electrons orbiting this shell. inside protons and neutrons, they've discovered other particles including quarks. and now they're suggesting these quarks and everything in this universe is comprised of extremely tiny vibrating strings. here's the ultimate question: HOW FAR DOWN DOES THE RABBIT HOLE GO?

  • @FallofDarkness55 how far will never be discovered, i think everything is endless. if i said here is your universe in a round ball and within this ball is a microsized earth smaller then the eye could ever see. then the question becomes where is my ball sized universe resting? its not surround by nothing, it must also be within another ball sized universe and this goes on and on. its like being in between two mirrors reflecting endless images of you further than where you could fix your eyes c.

  • String Theory = Beauty in Bullshit

  • this was complete babble and didnt simply anything for anyone. no wonder the mace windu comment from a year ago is at the top.

  • @chromerobotics It did a lot more than your small minded comment ever will.

  • I hear these guys earn about $50 an hour. I can't help wondering for what?

  • @brelfan You wouldn't have a keyboard, monitor, computer or even the internet without "these guys".

  • "String theory and how does it relates to black holes" (1:51) Amazing!

  • @jgroat68 I guess that's what college does for you

  • Chocolat raaaain.

  • @verneukteaap

    HAHHA!

  • Thanks!

    I wonder, how these strings are made...or what they are made of. When considering that we understand the atomic and now the sub-atomic (possible sub atomic constructs) if there is a further theoretical building block. Is there a sub-sub atomic? Then is there a sub-sub-sub atomic? Which could eventually lead to a single equation of everything.

    What this video didn't explain at all is the dimensional part of the theory and how string theory explains quantum gravity.

    I need more depth!!!

  • @snazzykazzywazzy STRING THEORY was named as such after the minute component of matter was determined to be vibrating just like the string of a guitar. So they call it STRING theory. The vibrations however is not in audio frequency but in the spectrum of light. No visual equipment can detect it but it is erroneous to think that they look like strings. The Universe is composed of these spectrum of lights.

  • amazing!

  • You obviously have a great understanding of mechanics of string theory. What a great video, thanks for sharing it.

  • 2 people are kkk

  • @12edDemon COCO POPS ?

  • time is ciclical and our three dimensions are produced by overlaping ciclical time,

    the world is round but we cant tell with our eyes because the size of it.imagine that to the billionth power. its easy just put three circles together so there is a space in the middle produced by the three. that would be a three dimensional space, a mathmatics guy already did it but on a huge scale with endless dimentions laped onto eachother

  • string theory i think is a dead end

  • Blackholes? . . . . Where?

    Oh you mean in "theory" as in religion=faith . . . I get it now

  • @BloodTar theroys have evidence but not complety proven right thats what theory means faith means believe in it without any evidence what soo ever

  • The cosmos will never be understood by physical means exclusively, no matter how hard they try. They just dont get it.

  • String theory = Garbage.

  • @InsaneGoonRules You = troll

  • @InsaneGoonRules your mom is garbage.

  • Thank you!!

  • the string gets stretched like he was talking about. what would happen if the string was twisted? if its one dimensional and then it gets twisted, then you would only be able to see one point on it at a given time if you where staring parallel with it. invisibility!

  • in string theory, what causes strings to vibrate?

  • @ajthrax1 that's a really good question. in relativity no object is allowed to be perfectly rigid, but must be able to expand, contract and fluctuate. and we know we live in a relativistic universe. a string vibrates freely, meaning no force is needed to maintain the vibrations. in the same way your guitar string keeps vibrating freely unless a force (eg. friction) intervenes to deaden the oscillation. the vibrations originate from, and are only altered by, collisions with other strings...

  • I've seen this guy on a number of documentaries......

  • ten stars !!!!

  • good video! want more of these

  • stop arguing everything you could every imagin is possible, but the probability of that occurence is just very low... theres no point in arguing over something when everything is possible

  • String theory is CRAP.

  • @InsaneGoonRules and back when they thought the world was not round was also crap. get it together u cant say that

  • Yeah, tell me about it.

    We are just so lucky to have you, an accomplished physicist, internationally acclaimed as a true genius, with dozens of revolutionary peer-reviewed papers published on the most important scientific publications, we are just so lucky to have you to point that out to us...

    No hold on, you are not that famous physicist, you are just a looser with a pathetic life who needs to go trolling around YT in order to have anything happening in that aforementioned pathetic life...

  • I'd like to see your evidence for calling Einstein a racist.

  • Not exactly Pulp Fiction is it DUD.

    Come on, keep following, got more to show.

  • Why are you stigmatising this page with your lack of knowledge?

    Skin colour has nothing to do with string theory.

  • This man is a beautiful genius.

  • @divinegrace01 why? cause he Black, I guess?

  • Einstein wasn't racist. He was an anti-racism activist.

  • KAKU OWNS!!!!

  • I love that guy!! :D

  • Johnson sounds lot more professional and intelligent than Kaku when Kaku explains his popular carbage about string theory.

  • Mace Windu is amaizing.

  • @cronoacl I busting out laughing in the library. Well done.

  • @cronoacl LOL XD

  • @cronoacl

    hahahahahahahaha good one
