He is a professor emeritus in the school of natural sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.[4] Witten is a researcher in string theory, quantum gravity, supersymmetric quantum field theories, and other areas of mathematical physics. Witten's work has also significantly impacted pure mathematics.[5] In 1990, he became the first physicist to be awarded a Fields Medal by the International Mathematical Union, for his mathematical insights in physics, such as his 1981 proof of the positive energy theorem in general relativity, and his interpretation of the Jones invariants of knots as Feynman integrals.[6] He is considered the practical founder of M-theory.[7] Early life and education Witten was born on August 26, 1951, in Baltimore, Maryland, to a Jewish family.[8] He is the son of Lorraine (née Wollach) Witten and Louis Witten, a theoretical physicist specializing in gravitation and general relativity.[9] Witten attended the Park School of Baltimore (class of '68), and received his Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in history and minor in linguistics from Brandeis University in 1971.[10] He had aspirations in journalism and politics and published articles in both The New Republic and The Nation in the late 1960s.[11][12] In 1972 he worked for six months on George McGovern's presidential campaign.[13] Witten attended the University of Michigan for one semester as an economics graduate student before dropping out.[14] He returned to academia, enrolling in applied mathematics at Princeton University in 1973, then shifting departments and receiving a PhD in physics in 1976 and completing a dissertation, "Some problems in the short distance analysis of gauge theories", under the supervision of David Gross.[15] He held a fellowship at Harvard University (1976–77), visited Oxford University (1977–78),[3][16] was a junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows (1977–1980), and held a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (1982).[4] Research This section of a biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification.

Time and again he has surprised the mathematical community by a brilliant application of physical insight leading to new and deep mathematical theorems ... He has made a profound impact on contemporary mathematics. In his hands physics is once again providing a rich source of inspiration and insight in mathematics.[5] Edward Witten (left) with mathematician Shigefumi Mori, probably at the ICM in 1990, where they received the Fields Medal As an example of Witten's work in pure mathematics, Atiyah cites his application of techniques from quantum field theory to the mathematical subject of low-dimensional topology. In the late 1980s, Witten coined the term topological quantum field theory for a certain type of physical theory in which the expectation values of observable quantities encode information about the topology of spacetime.[18] In particular, Witten realized that a physical theory now called Chern–Simons theory could provide a framework for understanding the mathematical theory of knots and 3-manifolds.[19] Although Witten's work was based on the mathematically ill-defined notion of a Feynman path integral and therefore not mathematically rigorous, mathematicians were able to systematically develop Witten's ideas, leading to the theory of Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants.[20] Another result for which Witten was awarded the Fields Medal was his proof in 1981 of the positive energy theorem in general relativity.[21] This theorem asserts that (under appropriate assumptions) the total energy of a gravitating system is always positive and can be zero only if the geometry of spacetime is that of flat Minkowski space. It establishes Minkowski space as a stable ground state of the gravitational field. While the original proof of this result due to Richard Schoen and Shing-Tung Yau used variational methods,[22][23] Witten's proof used ideas from supergravity theory to simplify the argument.[citation needed] A third area mentioned in Atiyah's address is Witten's work relating supersymmetry and Morse theory,[24] a branch of mathematics that studies the topology of manifolds using the concept of a differentiable function. Witten's work gave a physical proof of a classical result, the Morse inequalities, by interpreting the theory in terms of supersymmetric quantum mechanics.[citation needed] M-theory By the mid 1990s, physicists working on string theory had developed five different consistent versions of the theory. These versions are known as type I, type IIA, type IIB, and the two flavors of heterotic string theory (SO(32) and E8×E8). The thinking was that of these five candidate theories, only one was the actual correct theory of everything, and that theory was the one whose low-energy limit matched the physics observed in our world today.[citation needed] Speaking at the string theory conference at University of Southern California in 1995, Witten made the surprising suggestion that these five string theories were in fact not distinct theories, but different limits of a single theory, which he called M-theory.[25][26] Witten's proposal was based on the observation that the five string theories can be mapped to one another by certain rules called dualities and are identified by these dualities. It led to a flurry of work now known as the second superstring revolution.[citation needed] Other work Edward Witten (center) with David Gross and Stephen Hawking at Strings 2001 at TIFR in Mumbai, India Another of Witten's contributions to physics was to the result of gauge/gravity duality. In 1997, Juan Maldacena formulated a result known as the AdS/CFT correspondence, which establishes a relationship between certain quantum field theories and theories of quantum gravity.[27] Maldacena's discovery has dominated high-energy theoretical physics for the past 15 years because of its applications to theoretical problems in quantum gravity and quantum field theory. Witten's foundational work following Maldacena's result has shed light on this relationship.[28] In collaboration with Nathan Seiberg, Witten established several powerful results in quantum field theories. In their paper on string theory and noncommutative geometry, Seiberg and Witten studied certain noncommutative quantum field theories that arise as limits of string theory.[29] In another well-known paper, they studied aspects of supersymmetric gauge theory.[30] The latter paper, combined with Witten's earlier work on topological quantum field theory,[18] led to developments in the topology of smooth 4-manifolds, in particular the notion of Seiberg–Witten invariants.[31] With Anton Kapustin, Witten has made deep mathematical connections between S-duality of gauge theories and the geometric Langlands correspondence.[32] Partly in collaboration with Seiberg, one of his recent interests includes aspects of field theoretical description of topological phases in condensed matter and non-supersymmetric dualities in field theories that, among other things, are of high relevance in condensed matter theory. In 2016, he has also brought tensor models to the relevance of holographic and quantum gravity theories, by using them as a generalization of the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model.[33] Witten has published influential and insightful work in many aspects of quantum field theories and mathematical physics, including the physics and mathematics of anomalies, integrability, dualities, localization, and homologies. Many of his results have deeply influenced areas in theoretical physics (often well beyond the original context of his results), including string theory, quantum gravity and topological condensed matter.[citation needed] Awards and honors Witten has been honored with numerous awards including a MacArthur Grant (1982), the Fields Medal (1990), the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement (1997),[34] the Nemmers Prize in Mathematics (2000), the National Medal of Science[35] (2002), Pythagoras Award[36] (2005), the Henri Poincaré Prize (2006), the Crafoord Prize (2008), the Lorentz Medal (2010) the Isaac Newton Medal (2010) and the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics (2012). Since 1999, he has been a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (London), and in March 2016 was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.[37][38] Pope Benedict XVI appointed Witten as a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences (2006). He also appeared in the list of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of 2004. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[39] Witten was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1984, a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1988, and a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1993.[40][41][42] In May 2022 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania.[43] In an informal poll at a 1990 cosmology conference, Witten received the largest number of mentions as "the smartest living physicist".[44] Personal life Witten has been married to Chiara Nappi, a professor of physics at Princeton University, since 1979.[45] They have two daughters and a son. Their daughter Ilana B. Witten is a neuroscientist at Princeton University,[46] and daughter Daniela Witten is a biostatistician at the University of Washington.[47] Witten sits on the board of directors of Americans for Peace Now and on the advisory council of J Street.[48] He supports the two-state solution and advocates a boycott of Israeli institutions and economic activity beyond its 1967 borders, though not of Israel itself.[49] Selected publications Some Problems in the Short Distance Analysis of Gauge Theories.

A lot of the stuff he wrote about was very far flung and deeply Sci-fi inspired but he always found a way to tie it to some phenomena that’s studied in physics. He at least tries to do what Carl Sagan did for astronomy but for concepts within theoretical physics 757 Reply 56 replies @sird135 @sird135 3 months ago Making a random guess and winning it gets a lot of attention than slowly uncovering evidences.

How is it possible to mess with science and not deal with the tools we use to process any topic? That tool is called our mind. The nature of reality is that it is infinite. It is necessary to look into ourselves and the nature of logos in order to understand why we need to ask meaningless question such as the question of when the cosmos was created. What is the measure of vanity and self-delusion when we assume that there is a form or any expression that can encompass a phenomenon that has neither beginning nor end nor quantitative determination and is in a constant state of change? We call that futile and insane effort an attempt to create a unique theory or a theory of everything. When our human mind confronts the nature of the reality of its own condition and renounces faith and the idea of possessing the property of omniscience, it is certain that we will become closer to the awareness of human nature. 1 Reply @kawi7676 @kawi7676 5 months ago We now know there are nerds so nerdy that they are considered meganerds, and other nerds are so in awe of them, that they fear them, and don’t even utter their names within nerdling circles.

In short, this means the acceleration is unstable, meaning it cant be controlled within some certain parameters. It's unstable and the acceleration is accelerating. The "bounded" term is refering to the numerical levels in which some measurement can operate within and remain stable. What does stable mean? In short, it's just the system not going haywire or dying. For example, a home appliance may operate at 120V-240V (i can't remember if these are the bounds), but feed it more than that and it'll probably blow cos you're outside of the stable bounds. It's usually due to positive feedback going back into the system and increasing and then feeding back and increasing more. Feed it less and it won't work as the opposite is true. Negative feedback is too low and then multiplies the signal making it lower than it was before, and this goes in a loop until there's not enough potential to run the system.

I therefore understand what he's talking about in some of the maths. I chat gpt'd what's the Dirac equation after hearing on the podcast. "The Dirac equation is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory that describes the behavior of fermions, which are particles with half-integer spin (such as electrons and quarks). It was developed by the British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928 and is a relativistic extension of the Schrödinger equation, which describes non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The Dirac equation takes into account the principles of special relativity and provides a more accurate description of the behavior of particles moving at high speeds, close to the speed of light. It also accounts for the intrinsic spin of fermions, which the Schrödinger equation does not. The Dirac equation is typically written in the form of a first-order partial differential equation, and it involves a four-component wave function (spinor) that describes the quantum state of the fermion. The equation incorporates the Dirac matrices, which are mathematical constructs that obey specific algebraic relationships. The Dirac matrices are 4x4 matrices, and they are represented by the Greek letters gamma (γ). The Dirac equation for a free fermion (no external forces) can be written as follows: (iγ^μ∂_μ - m)ψ = 0 In this equation: - ψ represents the four-component wave function, which describes the quantum state of the fermion. - i is the imaginary unit. - γ^μ represents the Dirac matrices, where μ is the index that ranges from 0 to 3, corresponding to space and time coordinates. - ∂_μ is the partial derivative with respect to the spacetime coordinate μ. - m is the rest mass of the fermion. The Dirac equation predicts the existence of both positive and negative energy solutions, and it led to the prediction of antimatter, as Dirac's equation allowed for solutions with negative energy that were interpreted as the antiparticles of the corresponding particles with positive energy. The Dirac equation has been extremely successful in explaining the behavior of electrons in quantum mechanics and has played a crucial role in the development of quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the fundamental particles and forces in the universe. It remains a fundamental equation in the study of the behavior of fermions in high-energy physics." Does this therefore mean that time travel is just a hardware problem then? Reply @mrvk39 @mrvk39 2 weeks ago This is very common to science. You have highly intelligent, articulate, and influential figures in science that the rest of the scientific community puts on a pedestal. They pass judgement on what fields are worth pursuing and what fields are obsolete/quackery/unworthy. Younger scientists make their names by getting their papers published in prestigious journals and these authority figures are the editors or their students are the editors, so you if want to make a career, you need to do what they like to do. And it limits scientific progress which thrives on pursuing all avenues, on contrarians, on creative thinkers. In other words, science became too commercial/materialistic because it's so competitive (which is a good thing). A similar thing is happening in medicine - Alzheimer's research. A few very influential scientists deemed tau proteins to be the key to stopping the disease and BILLIONS have been poured on drugs fighting it. 1 has even received FDA approval.. but they barely slow down the disease. This theory has been largely a dead-end. OTHER markers of this disease exist but these influential people deemed them a "distraction" and refused to approve grants and publish papers in journals they controlled in a mistaken belief that they would pull resources from a cure. As a result, we had 30 years of research and billions wasted with no real results. Reply @jeremylanier4743 @jeremylanier4743 7 months ago This is like the field of Psychology.

Finally were proven wrong by the Apollo missions Reply @leobaez3502 @leobaez3502 6 months ago (edited) As a physics major, I read everything I could on string theory, which is what he refers to here as quantum gravity. All the elementary particles that make up matter are made of tiny vibrating strings that exist only in 10 dimensions. To anyone who gets a basic mathematical understanding, the first phase of the theory (mid eighties) seems very convincing and just pure magic. But by the mid 90's more objects were added to the scheme: D-branes, extended microscopic surfaces where the strings can end, and black P-branes, the string theory version of black holes in many dimensions. It turns out D-branes, with their strings attached, are like the building blocks of P-branes. Now, there are two types of strings, open and closed. The closed strings, when they vibrate at a certain frequency, become gravitons, the particles that carry the gravitational force in quantum string theory. Now the open strings, as was said before, can have their ends attached to the D-branes, which are surfaces. Open strings do not reproduce gravity. Consider a D2-brane which is just like a sheet of paper, a plane with 2 dimensions. Since an open string is like a line, when one extreme meets the surface the intersection with it is just a point. If the string moves around, from the point of view of someone living on the sheet it is just like a point particle, a charged one like the electron, for instance, doing it's thing. Why is this a unifying squeme? Well, now imagine the two ends of an open string attached to the plane, the D2-brane. Make these extremes meet: it becomes a closed string that leaves the plane into the surrounding ambient space of higher dimension, in which the D2-brane is inmersed. This is called "the bulk". You can generalize this to D3-branes, etc. Thus gravity particles, gravitons, can exist only in a higher dimension, the rest, like matter (fermions) and the other particles that carry the other three forces (bosons) live on the D-branes, with one dimension less. Hence gravity and other forces are at last unified under one scheme: superstrings in 10 dimensions. Super because there is a symmetry called supersymetry that interchanges particles that carry forces with those that do not. Just as there is no proof of superstrings there is no proof of supersymmetry either. How the extra dimensions are dealt with is another matter. But of the 10, 6 must be compactified into small spaces, invisible to our eyes and machines because we don't have enough energy to probe them. But it must be so because we live in a universe with only 4 dimensions: one time, the other 3, space. For consistensy, string theory needs, in reality 11, if M theory enters the picture. But that is another story. Einstein's theory of gravity says that the distribution of matter and energy bends our 4 dimensional spacetime, causing gravity. You can stack the D-branes in string theory. Thus they can become "heavy" and bend spacetime too, because they carry particles with mass (remember the ends of the open strings). Hence, if you stack enough of them you can create the string theory version of black holes mentioned above: Alas!, you have a black hole in a higher dimension: a black P-brane Once they went off in those directions it became clear to me they had lost their bearings. Do they really believe these things exist? The theory, although it has a rich mathematical structure that is here to stay, has, nevertheless, become just one pile of imaginary inventions on top of another, where none has any connection with reality. You must have a lot of faith, almost of the religious kind, to keep on going with this stuff. I stopped reading technical papers on the subject because I got convinced that I was wasting my time. I left physics altogether. String theory is still, almost 15 years later, where I left it: chasing its own tail. There is just something about the whole ordeal that feels like they no longer have the real universe in sight, but some kind of world of ideas, of the platonic type. It's not fundamental physics anymore. This is really worrisome. I still feel a certain curiosity for the subject, though, along the lines of its destiny. But I think this man has nailed it: just be honest and tell the world "lets get off this road cause we are lost." By the way, some smart dude once said that quantum gravity is the answer to a problem that does not exist. More or less. 8:34 495 Reply 61 replies @dasworkshop4967 @dasworkshop4967 1 month ago I gave up on Kaku and laughed at everyone who didn't the minute he told us we were all going to die with Niburu's return which he said was going to be "sometime this year" (over a decade ago). 1 Reply 1 reply @donvee2000 @donvee2000 8 days ago Eric is right in so many ways...

One of my favorite is The law on Thermodynamics that says a self sustainable generator cannot be made.

There needs to be funding for smaller research in Physics. It’s getting out of control. And he is right about quantum gravity (aka string theory). But no person with any literacy in General Relativity and Special relativity can let his attack on Einstein theories slide. It took 50 years after Benjamin Franklin demonstrated electricity, for us to get to any practical application of electricity in the first electric motor which were used in electric cars (the irony) and yet another 50 or so years before we got the light bulb. These things take time. And it’s not always about shipping a product. In fact what he failed to mention in this discussion (perhaps because it happened after this podcast aired) is that we have now officially recorded gravitational waves. And it’s behavior fit neatly into the model put forward by Einstein’s theory of general relativity almost a century ago. Or a better way of putting it is that the observatories which detected gravitational waves are in fact put together based on the model put forth by General Relativity. Einstein theory is incredibly accurate in predicting almost every single phenomena in space time. And much of it have been proven right after even Einstein himself dismissed them as impossible (that too several years after his death). That’s why people are obsessed over it.

This means two things, you cannot score points as a direct result of a penalty, and you can never reach infinity. Maybe that is why a singularity is just an imaginary point where mass or energy becomes "infinite". Of course it's imaginary. The short answer is: you can always get closer to infinity, but you can never get there.

As much as I find String Theory interesting, the confidence these people have in their VERY stretched belief's is very off-putting, much like born-again Christians. I completely agree with the mindset that singularities like our theory of a black hole and of the big bang, are just lazy products of errors that we haven't encountered, or knowledge we don't have yet. Don't get me wrong, the universe is obviously very complex, with consciousness and life being just as complex imo. But I think we're overcomplicating it, and reaching for grand theories that are impossible to prove, so we feel pretty smart about ourselves. I mean, I think we even have to re-evaluate our idea of time. We probably hit a wall because we started with assumptions that weren't entirely true or accurate enough, and it has lead us down this path where we're knowledgeable enough to sync satellites and build moto vehicles, even enough knowledge to manage to get energy from nuclear fission, in a risky way. No doubt we're doing things right and learning, but I feel like we have some plot holes, and most people are making up solutions to them that the writer never intended or thought of, because it was just an oversight, not hidden brilliance. 1 Reply @nathanielsteelman1241 @nathanielsteelman1241 2 weeks ago Didn’t Einstein say his theories would be replaced inevitably and that if they are not it’s a mistake ?

That's why he says he's afraid of him. I guess if you argue with him, he will drag you into physics and maths and prove you wrong cuz all this string field theory n quantum gravity just exist on paper and there is no experimemtal proof yet that it works. Similarly he says big names like Sean Caroll n Michio Kaku (one of my fav ones ever) just won't let of quantum gravity cuz they think its a brilliant theory but it has no solid experimental data to back it up or proove that it works. And because of that many people have somewhat wasted their life trying to prove something that doesn't work in real life so we should be more open minded to other ideas and try new things instead of clinging to one old idea for several decades.

I definitely hate how so many people get famous and profit from BS while being so arrogant about it, I'm not that old but in my short life i can't remember how many times I've heard "forget everything we thought we knew" about any given subject, like dinosaurs, the universe, relgions, history etc. But if you read between the lines, all that says to me is all the experts and people who profited from it in the past were wrong, but didn't care or were eo arrogant they thought they were right and self serving and made money from talking fantasy and its horrible how the media takes it for face value and promotes it. So i agree, it's wrong for self serving people like neil degrasse and Sean carol and Micho etc to profit off of theories that they themselves didn't even create or can't prove while actual intellects get no accolades. When i think of someone winning a Nobel prize, i just assume they were the manager of the team that got the credit for the teams work or they overheard someone else's arguments and had the means to publish or promote it... All that said, this Eric guy loses his arguments by coming across as spiteful, jealous and frankly bum hurt hes not getting accolades, by how personal he's taking it. Shows the level of arrogance and self serving people can be when attention and profit is involved. Its clearly gone to these guys heads. But long story short, what happens when we dunbunk most of these theories like string theory or our universe is in a black hole or the universe is twice as old as predicted or the multiverse etc, what happens when we can prove they're wrong? Do they have to apologize for misleading us and profiting so greatly from a lie while wasting our time and wasting so much resources? Do they give the money back they made on a lie? This is the problem with media and relgions being used to educate while profiting at the same time.. ethics and morals go out the window for attention, profit and power. 1 Reply @kitkakitteh @kitkakitteh 4 weeks ago Dr. Hottub (Kaku) is more interested in raising his celebrity than he is in physics these days.

Well a black hole converts energy into matter, and a star does the opposite, matter into energy. We get pushed away by stars and attracted to black holes. Anti matter might be attracted to stars and repelled from black holes accordingly. That all makes a lot more sense.

What exactly does it even mean to have more than 4? A dimension is simply a direction in space or time. With 4 dimensions you can describe where something is and when it was there. I hear rhat string theory also predicts multiple universes, also nonsense ! It is the fantasy of science fiction movies. What is the definition of 'universe - it means all space and time.

A hole is an absence of whatever(in this case fabric). If there isn't a fabric there, why would it function like there was? Why do we pretend that a black hole as a whole would act both as a fabric still being there(Einsteinian theory) and an absence of fabric being there. Of course Einsteinian theory would fall flat at some point because it's not all a function of our universe but a shared experience with another. Our physics work up until the point that it's no longer our Universe, where they break down and we use a singularity as a placeholder. I don't think that it can ever be anything but a placeholder as it's a completely different set of laws and a different fabric on the other side of the black hole. I also think Hawking was initially correct and Hawking Radiation is wrong. The part Hawking was wrong about is the destruction of matter. It's just moved not destroyed. If I have a glass of OJ and some spills out, does the amount that is outside of the glass, still exist? Of course. Same with the matter that falls into a black hole. It might no longer be a part of our local universe but moving it is not destroying it. There is no trace of matter coming back out of a black hole because it never does and because the premise of the fact the matter is gone, so it must be destroyed is faulty. Gone or no longer here locally does not mean destroyed in every instance.

Like a equation that still has to be written or a awnser that hasn't been found. E=mc2 even if it hadn't been discovered yet. When a black hole form's it flips from space time to time space and vice versa. When the universe is expanded enough it wil flip in to a singular point aka the big bang. (Roger Penrose's theorie) It's the same thing just a different way of unfolding. The implications for me at least is that the state of things now is a stretched quantum state and in that state ther arise rules, fields of equations from start tot start like a road that links back to itself.

General relativity is great, works in almost every case, on a certain scale, doesn't on others. So another is needed, sure maybe; Quantum Gravity isn't the solution, maybe it is, hasn't been able to be proven, or successfully disproven. One big problem is Quantum physics of any kind isn't an A+B=C, its very much about probabilities, and sure, again, that may even be because we don't yet know enough about quantum physics itself to remove that probability, if its even possible. Bottom line in either case is; thats why we theorise, test, and then peer review, may not produce results, but whether it does, or not, it will help lead us onto a path that will.

But then you also run into issues of doing proper simulation modeling because introducing variables needed to get things closer to reality introduces too much chaotic behavior and it's computationally difficult to render an obviously correct solution. I think gravity has something to do with energy density and also the quality of a near perfect vacuum that creates a very very small resistance to certain fields moving through it. Also if your model assumes all charges are cancelled out zero, then stuff like electrogravity can't be properly applied to it anyways. However not being able to fit something into a model because it hangs up the simulation for too many hours doesn't mean it's not making the model closer to the real conditions out there. Sometimes getting down to the behavior of something means it's necessary to resolve those extra details that are currently left out. 5 Reply 1 reply @MrTeko75 @MrTeko75 2 weeks ago Brett is super frustrated he finds out for the first time, the the world is full of grifters.

The equivalence principe states that they are equal. But one can imagine a system in which negative gravitational masses exists, but their inertial mass still be stricly positive (ie equal to the absolute value of the gravitational mass). In that case negative mass behaves different, ie. the direction of acceleration then always equals the direction of the gravitational force. By the way there are good reasons to assume negative mass, can't exist because the creation of equal but opposite mass then would cost no energy, and the whole universe would be quite different due to that. Sabine Hossenfelder did a youtube video on this negative mass idea, and her conclusion was that even if one were to allow negative mass, their behaviour would not explain anything, ie. things like dark energy or dark matter can't be explained by the hypothesis of some sort of negative mass. Further, note that in general relativity there does exist repulsive gravity, but that has nothing to do with negative mass, but with a cosmological term (lambda) representing some form of energy in all of space that has postive energy density, but a negative pressure. That is what we call dark energy, although we have no idea what that stuff really is. 8 Reply 2 replies @joeschmoe24-7 @joeschmoe24-7 5 months ago Weinstein on point as usual.

More funds should go into electrodynamics/plasma physics/observational astronomy as there is a lot that is not fully understood to this day and more chance that applied physicists will come with applications.

I knew there was controversy over String theory. But this is the problem with Science in general.. if there is a theory that a group of scientists have built their carreers on.. whatever field it may be... it ends up having a lock hold on society and frames our "reality" for a long time and holds us back. It is frustrating that science and academics works like that... instead of having security in your own worth/ego that you can "evolve" to a new understanding instead of of having a white knuckle grip on YOUR theory being right and will "kill" anyone who tries and take that from you .. .Yay ... capitalism... $$$ cause that is what it is about in the end.

With time dilation in play, we can see the distant space particles as touching, as viewed by an observer. No negative mass required, no crazy energy levels, just structural effects. Forget all the crazy gravity physicists. Its all just fluid dynamics and structural effects. There are more factors, but mass is the least important when trying to break the so called cosmic speed limit. The limit is the medium and ability of you passing through it.

(Einstein), you can come according to the classics (G), SR ©, and De Broglie's hypothesis (h), - without GR and QM: a. Kepler's third law: Gm=(r^3)w^2. b. The researcher will notice that electrodynamics has achieved great success, compared with mechanics, thanks to the introduction of the concept of current, and will write down Kepler's law as follows: I(G)= mw=v^3/G, where I(G) is the gravitational current. By the way, Maxwell's realization of the displacement current effect is the culmination of all (mechanics+electrodynamics) classical physics. c. The researcher will get acquainted with the semi-classical Bohr theory, where the quantization rule of the angular momentum: the moment modulus in a stationary orbit is determined by the formula mvr=nħ (n=1,2,3,..). As well as with the de Broglie hypothesis: a free particle should be compared with a plane monochromatic wave, and the wave parameters are frequency and length waves are associated with mechanical characteristics - momentum and energy: k=p/ħ=w/c. And, based on Kepler's law, will write down Newton's law as follows: F=mg=m|a|= v^4/G=(ħ/c)w^2. d. The researcher will remember Einstein's time dilation and the equivalence principle [see Pauli, RT, "Simple consequences of the equivalence principle", where v^2=(rw)^2=-2Ф(centrifugal)~-2Ф(G)], and finally writes the quantum expression for the Newtonian gravitational potential as follows: Ф(G)=(-1/2)[Għ/c]^½(w) = -[h/4πm(pl)]w=-(½)[w/w(pl)]c^2 (can be tested experimentally in the laboratory at the moment). One of the important regularities that the formula reveals is the quantization of not only the orbit, but also the wave itself (obviously, the problem of particle/wave dualism disappears at the same time): πr=nλ=(n+n')2r(pl), that is, λ=(1+n'/n)λ(pl), where n' (=0,1,2,3…) is the orbit number, n (=0,1,2,3…) is the number of particles (quanta). In other words, mc^2=ħw; where m (=M/n'=2∆m/n) is the quantum of the complete and mass defect of the system: moreover, the parameter mλ [=m(pl)λ(pl)=m(w)λ(w)=m(e)λ(e)] covers the entire spectrum of particles.

A bang of bangs, and the universe was born. And it is expanding, he said. He had even calculated the length of its life: ten billion revolutions of the earth around the sun. The entire globe cheered; They found his calculations to be science. None thought that by proposing that the universe began, the man had merely mirrored the syntax of his mother tongue; a syntax which demands beginnings, like birth, and developments, like maturation, and ends, like death, as statements of facts. The universe began, and it is getting old, the man assured us, and it will die, like all things die, like he himself died after confirming mathematically the syntax of his mother tongue. ********************** The Other Syntax Did the universe really begin? Is the theory of the big bang true? These are not questions, though they sound like they are. Is the syntax that requires beginnings, developments and ends as statements of fact the only syntax that exists? That's the real question. There are other syntaxes. There is one, for example, which demands that varieties of intensity be taken as facts. In that syntax nothing begins and nothing ends; thus birth is not a clean, clear-cut event, but a specific type of intensity, and so is maturation, and so is death. A man of that syntax, looking over his equations, finds that he has calculated enough varieties of intensity to say with authority that the universe never began and will never end, but that it has gone, and is going now, and will go through endless fluctuations of intensity. That man could very well conclude that the universe itself is the chariot of intensity and that one can board it to journey through changes without end. He will conclude all that, and much more, perhaps without ever realizing that he is merely confirming the syntax of his mother tongue.

Occupational space as we occupy it is neutralized resistance within mass. We vibrate through space as space itself within us. We vibrate towards the weakest point of resistance, which is mass. Thermaldynamics is outward pressure exerted by repulsion. Perpetual motion. Unification of unidirectional pressure is magnetic fields of forced pressure cycling circulation patterns as mass. Density can't exceed resistance within it. Proximity mass is repelled towards mass of the greatest neutralized resistance. Earth is our greatest neutralized mass. Spheres are proof of pressure exerted on thermaldynamics. Big Bang theory is described as an outward force explosion. What's put in motion stays in motion? What force caused it to stop it from staying in motion. Cold resistance of space itself? Frequency is the illusionary solidity of liquidity. All mass is at the cosmic speed limit in and out of entanglement of mass. Distance of forward maximum momentum velocity is redirected by magnetic fields of forced pressure cycling circulation patterns as mass. Heat loss is decay of magnetic fields. Weak resistance is when pressure is maximized. Like letting the air out of a balloon. When proximity mass of greater resistance within gets next to a greater mass of weaker resistance, it's like letting the air out of the balloon. Magnets show the bonding force of pressure and the repulsion force. As the magnets get moved towards each other, the weakest point of resistance gets the mass. We vibrate towards the weakest point of resistance, earth. Quatum magnetic fields are the strongest. Hydrogens' magnetic field is faster than heliums. Helium occupies more space. Distance of forward momentum is reduced as equalization to pressure within as repulsion resistance. The greater the mass the weaker the magnetic field. Light is only present in resistance. It's absorbed as heat. Coincidence? Reply @earlosandwich7433 @earlosandwich7433 3 months ago No, the opposite. Michio Kaku is in of control.

It describes the motion of a string through space-time, and it includes the effects of gravity. The R term in the equation is the Ricci scalar, which is a measure of the curvature of space-time. The L term is the Lagrangian density, which is a measure of the energy of the string. The equation is written in D dimensions, where D is the number of spatial dimensions. In our universe, D = 4. I believe that this equation could be used to solve the problems with string theory at the big bang and at the bottom of a black hole. The R term could be used to describe the extreme curvature of space-time at these two points, and the L term could be used to describe the behavior of the strings under these conditions. 1 Reply @francesbrisco776 @francesbrisco776 3 weeks ago kaku a very good scientist 1 Reply @Lonewanderer30 @Lonewanderer30 9 days ago String 'theory.'

It's the final location that begins—it occurs at the big bang, which is not an explosion, but a change from the previous state to the next, to the plasma state, and that's an ultra-high curvature of 3+3 dimensions of two quantities. It's a boiling vacuum, it's a foam dimensions, i.e. an extremely curved environment; that is, it is a "finite" Universe in an "infinite" flat space-time that "floats" in it. The basic Euclidean network - a grid, 3+3 uncurved dimensions, in the state before the big bang, it is still around us, it exists not only before the big bang, but also after it, it is around us and we and the whole complex universe with matter and galaxies and black holes and gravitational fields, (which are crooked dimensions), we "float" in that flat basic 3+3D network of space-time. The beautiful thing is that even a mathematician will wonder if he doesn't have to explore "how" big is the singularity = "locality-our universe" and will have to recognize the possibility of proposing the reality that in an infinite 3+3D non-curved space-time there are finite localities, arbitrarily large, that is near-infinite and near-zero... Not even mathematicians can determine how large a "unit" is—a unit interval of length or time in an infinite grid grid. That place is "our universe", just one. No nonsense like “multiverses. And the Big Bang was not the creation of the universe "out of nothing" (as string theorists claim), but it was a "jump = jump change of state" from the previous to the next, a "jump" from a completely flat spacetime to a completely curved spacetime.., with extremely curved dimensions , which have been unfolding for 13.8 billion years!!!!, A) They don't expand, but unfold into the global curvature of the "real structure" (The sky full of galaxies and everything we see "floats" the differently curved dimensions of every place we see). B) And simultaneously with the global unpacking, the "local locations" are packed (in the microstructure = in the microworld.) They are packed into matter !!!! They are packed (those dimensions) after the big bang into balls = elementary particles, and these are further packed into conglomerates, i.e. into atoms, molecules, into chemical-biological compounds. Etc, etc...etc, as I have described elsewhere over the years. According to physicists from Di Valentino's team, this anomaly could be explained if the expanding universe had a spherical shape. Which is even the same if the expansion is explained by the "unfolding" of this "initial" curvature of the space-time dimension in the Bang = in a state of arrest in which time begins to pass and expand = the space and time dimensions begin to unfold; this state of space-time of ultra-high curvature of the dimensions of time and length, is a plasma, is a state of foam. In this foam "vacuum boils", on Planck scales it acquires by deformation packing mini-localities = "frozen states" - wave spheres-wave packets that become elementary particles, our human concept, packets that manifest themselves with properties such as mass, spin, charge, etc., etc. (Each particle has a different number of packed dimensions with a different curvature of these; this determines their properties). Then such an initial state of the Universe, the space-time after the Big Bang, unfolds, expands "out" "from the singularity" and still, simultaneously further, collapses, "into itself", into matter. This means that there is a clustering, "combining" of matter elements, such as quarks, leptons, bosons, etc. into even more complex units, into baryons, resonances, then into atoms, then into molecules, into compounds - this is the "packing" of curved dimensions into packages, into more complex conglomerates, and this happens not only after the big bang, but that packaging continues to this day; proteins, DNA... We still have the Planck vacuum around us, "yesterday and today", continuously throughout the history of this! The Universe..,, all around us in the boiling vacuum of the Planck and subplanck scales, the same processes are taking place as they were a million years ago, as they were a billion years ago and 14.24 billion years ago right after the Big Bang. This entire "local universe" with curved dimensions is nested in a 3+3D grid, a grid of flat Euclidean dimensions. The universe "floats" in an infinite flat space-time. And at the same time, since the big bang, there has been (realized) the unfolding=unpacking and packing of dimensions. Both at the same time. What type of curve do we have for global unpacking, I don't know, probably a parabola, I thought about it 35 years ago...; This text was *twice "deformed" by a translation from Czech to English and back again to Czech and then once again to English..., I am very sorry for the complexity of the text, which I no longer feel like correcting. 1 Reply @jannetteberends8730 @jannetteberends8730 12 days ago I wouldn’t trust anyone on the Joe Rogan show. 1 Reply @spi1616 @spi1616 1 month ago I fear our current government Reply @Xaer_ @Xaer_ 5 months ago Eric has this aura about him.. like he wants to be known as the smartest mind ever, and his approach to that is to talk down on others.

Does that also mean that he'd be good at philosophically and otherwise arguing his case? From from I've seen, he most certainly is not. In fact, he's philosophically and argumentatively very poor. I'd add that he is held in awe because of his highly complex mathematics. And that awe largely comes from other physicists not being up to the job when it comes to the maths. So this is a little like being in awe of someone who can speak every language on earth, but, beyond that, has nothing concrete or productive to offer the world. Basically, Witten is some kind of freak show who no one dare challenge. Now I'm saying all that without knowing the maths or even much of the technical physics.

They are differentiated by the size scales they describe. Relativity is the physics of the very large or very fast, classical is the physics of the universe that humans experience, and quantum mechanics describes the laws of physics on the smallest scales possible. It turns out that both general relativity and classical mechanics can be described using Boolean algebra, or computer code, while quantum mechanics cannot (fundamentally). Quantum mechanics requires a fundamentally more complex logic, hence quantum computers. Relativity can be reduced to classical mechanics, or to put it another way, relativity contains classical mechanics. Therefore we can reduce the 3 regimes to 2. Classical and Quantum. There are 4 fundamental forces that mediate cause and effect in our universe; Electromagnetism, gravity, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force. The nuclear forces are purely quantum mechanical and don't manifest themselves on classical distance scales, we have both classical and quantum descriptions of electromagnetism (Maxwell's equations, and quantum electrodynamics), for gravity we only have a classical description which is general relativity. Quantum mechanics only functions correctly when we make the approximation that space-time is flat. Normally this is fine, as gravity (space-time curvature) is only observable on the largest distance scales, while quantum mechanics is only concerned with the smallest distance scales. Picture a circle in your head, and zoom into the line, eventually you will have zoomed in so far that the curvature of the circle looks like a straight line and the difference is so small it is unmeasurable (like the horizon). However, a problem arises when we think about black holes or the big bang. Close to a gravitational singularity, the mathematics of general relativity predicts that the space-time curvature becomes extreme and becomes noticable on quantum mechanical scales. In this region of space-time, quantum mechanics no longer works correctly and makes non-sensical predictions. The technical details are beyond the scope of this comment but to give some flavour, QM predicts that certain states can have probabilities greater than 1, and less than 0, when used to try to make predictions in space-time with extreme curvature. The key point is that close to gravitational singularities, gravity is having an effect on quantum mechanical distance scales, but when we try to use general relativity and quantum mechanics at the same time, they both contradict each other, and make non-sensical predictions. An example of a contradiction is the black-hole information paradox. Quantum mechanics relies on a fundamental principle that all information is preserved. While general relativity clearly suggests that any information that falls into a black hole is destroyed. Quantum gravity is the name of a theory that we have not yet found that is able to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity. Such a theory must be at a lower level than both, and string theory has been the main contender for some time now. However, string theory has encountered a number intractable mathematical problems. 2 Reply @YehoshuaD @YehoshuaD 1 month ago There is no way Joe understands anything that he is saying...

It’s still the Big Bang THEORY. It’s still a THEORY how the dinosaurs died. Almost everything is still in THEORY.

The superstring folks never got the memo that you need real particles and strings to generate those lovely hadronic-string vibration solutions. Instead, they focused solely on The Math -- S-matrix was still a thing back then before quarks killed it -- and began half a century of neglecting any need to connect back to experimental reality. Hmm. Witten was a bit terrifying to folks over on the NSF side for funding reasons, not math reasons. For decades, if you attempted to publish a physics theory paper that did not include sufficiently favorable remarks about string theory, you not only did not get published but encountered a sizable risk of never getting funded again by the NSF. It was quite brutal. String theory as "math" never acquired respect from actual mathematicians, probably due to things like changing the definition of convergence to prove that the sum of some infinite series of increasing numbers is equal to -1/12. 4 Reply 2 replies @colinjames7569 @colinjames7569 7 months ago (edited) Erik is on another level.

Reply @yams5200 @yams5200 6 months ago 8:06-8:30 This situation happened to me in highschool pretty much verbatim. Ever since I was a child, I had this theory or suspicion that if you were to go beyond the speed of light, you would start to accelerate backwards in time exponentially (inverse of how time gets dilated exponentially when approaching the speed of light). No math to prove it and I knew I was likely wrong but I wanted to someday understand at least why I was probably wrong. When I finally got to attend this prestigious highschool with a professor that had a PHD in physics and works at fermilab analyzing particle physics data from the LHC, I thought "finally, at last I can ask someone about this and actually understand why it couldn't or might work". I finally asked him about it and how I sort of came to that conclusion with some physics and math while admitting I was asking because I didn't have the expertise to really figure it out on my own to which he interrupted me and said exactly what was said here, "well that's impossible you cant go beyond c, there's no use in pondering the question, goodbye". Sometimes I think about it to this day, not because I wanted to debate or thought I knew better than the guy with a literal PHD, but because I wanted to just speculate with someone who knew more than me, and I guess he saw my interest as literally not worth his time. 29 Reply 10 replies @lazy0nara @lazy0nara 3 weeks ago My head hurts...gone all cross-eyed. 1 Reply @donnasaunders5056 @donnasaunders5056 7 months ago brings me back to when i was a janitor at Harvard i used to love finishing complex problems when nobody was around good times 3 Reply 3 replies @VENATUSONLINE @VENATUSONLINE 13 days ago all these grants and funding for sciency things, yet we still don't have that slider-remote portal.....kinda like oooh graphics in 4k yet we still use an effing controller, where is the neural device controllers?? 1 Reply @pareshmathew1596 @pareshmathew1596 7 months ago I played tennis with Edward witten without knowing who he was😮…I was completely blown away by his achievements 4 Reply 2 replies @hippiedreadz4life @hippiedreadz4life 7 months ago I really appreciate Eric’s perspective on things.

What if we (in a cosmic universe way) are what's on the other side of a Black Hole's singularity? low brow: We are made of the farts and poop of a chunki boi cosmic deity of a DBZ character named: brraackyuu howwwyuuu.

Ed is just working on String Theory. It is unfortunate there are no falsifiable experiments to make it an official theory, but Ed wouldn't be nasty to anyone imo. If Eric has another novel idea, he shouldn't be afraid to discuss these topics. Let's have these discussions civilly. I agree that String Theory as well as WIMPs and MOND as dark matter. It is time for new ideas. Lets start those conversations. 4 Reply 3 replies @FadingVitals @FadingVitals 4 weeks ago Buhu Nobody Is playing With Eric 😫 2 Reply @birdthompson @birdthompson 7 months ago woowoo...he also thinks he's being contacted by aliens? 4 Reply @billyjean5934 @billyjean5934 2 months ago "thats fucking illegal" - dana white 1 Reply @sHaHPoP6547 @sHaHPoP6547 2 months ago This sounds like religion to me.

Reply @paulmichaelfreedman8334 @paulmichaelfreedman8334 7 months ago (edited) Just to clarify: Edward Whitten has an IQ of around 200, and many people will confirm that number to be his IQ at LEAST. This guy is absolutely WICKED smart. Deffo in the top 5 of the smartest people alive at this moment. So yeah, don't expect weak defense when you challenge him. 9 Reply 7 replies @pdv738 @pdv738 1 month ago I have never felt so stupid in my life.

But he isn't a fraud, he truly is a bigger physicist than most, just look at his background. But nowadays, he is just part of pop science so people shouldn't take everything he says as straight facts because his main objective is to attract people. 21 Reply 1 reply @1984Kojot @1984Kojot 3 months ago They are useless.

If you can just admit he was wrong and the speed of light isn't some magical speed limit then you can move on. But no one will admit he was wrong. You find neutrinos from CERN captured in Italy before they should be able to get there if the speed of light was a real limiting factor, but everyone tries to make excuses for it and ignore the reality that just showed Einstein to be wrong. 4 Reply 2 replies @maestro2271 @maestro2271 1 month ago I’m SOOOO Confused….
