This man speaks with such an enthusiasm that he doesn't seem to be a theoretical physicist......he seems like the student whose mind is still wandering with questions and doubts on the concepts of physics ......the way he speaks is really amazing and the thing he did with the magnets in the middle of the lecture was something we all did in our childhood and he still has that energy and curiosity about something is really deeply hidden.

I have just listened to this with my 8yo and our simple minds are blown. I love quantum theory but haven't had much of an opportunity to explore it to any effect. This talk was wonderful to listen. The lecturers passion was felt and easy to get caught up in. Admittedly my 8yo had to retire half way through to process but he is eager to hear the rest in the morning. I shall be looking for more talks on this by this man 😁

Fantastic lecture! Thank you for making this available. I am non-physicist (non-scientist for that matter) but have recently become very interested in quantum theory because of my love of sci-fi books. I’ve been searching a video that a layperson like myself can relate (and watch more than 10 min) and Prof. Tong had done a phenomenal job!!!

Seen a few of these RI lectures now, absolutely first class and my new firm favourite YouTube channel.
We need another Einstein to pull together a set of seemingly unrelated currently known facts and show us that there is a relationship but as David Tong mentioned you have to look at the problem from a different angle which is what Einstein did as I understand it.
I'm fascinated that there could be a Neuro-diverse kid out there right now that's perhaps been sidelined by conventional education that could give us that insight or at least move us a couple of steps closer to understanding what's going on. Exciting times.

This proves what I've always believed strongly since university: that a really smart person can explain things. A smart person who really understands things can explain things. And even the things that can't be explained can be made tantalizing and invite us to learn more. Wonderful lecture. Well, as so many are on the RI channel.

David Tong has an amazing ability to describe the deep complexity of reality in such a way as to make his understanding accessible to a wide audience. What hit me at the end of his talk is how much more he must know and understand about what lies beneath all the different concepts he nearly touched on. Oh to have the chance to experience that depth of knowledge first hand!

Such a brillant speech by Professor Long, thx so much for this!

Wow, this is fascinating! Michael Faraday was truly a genius for realizing that there is something real and physical between magnets that we can't see. It's amazing to think that something invisible like the magnetic field can have such a powerful force. Faraday's demonstration of induction with the moving magnetic field and the needle flickering on the other side of the table is just mind-blowing! It's incredible to think that we can communicate and affect things far away using the field without even touching it. And to top it all off, Faraday's speculation about the electric and magnetic fields being the only thing we've ever seen was confirmed years later by Maxwell and Hertz to be what we now call light. It's just a little bit magical, isn't it? Thank you for sharing this fascinating piece of scientific history with us!

Question: Where do sound waves fit in to this equation? Electromagnetic waves pulsate at the same wavelength as soundwaves that we can hear. Have you considered sound for another tool in your box?

So a question about the vacuum in the box...if particles are nothing more then bunched up sections of the quantum fields then what actually is happening when Prof Tong says we take all the particles out of the box? Are we separating these bunched up portions of these fields and then transferring them outside the box (though the boundaries of the box are itself bunched up fields)? Or are the fields getting smoothened out so that when we say that we have taken out all the particles, we basically have reduced the quantum fields to their base state, so to say?

Thought this was brilliant and have re-watched a couple of times now. Does anyone in the comments know any other videos on quantum field theory that are as good as this and maybe offer a little more on the subject? I've seen a few but they are often a bit vague or focus on the maths too much and not what the theory actually means (i'm in no way involved in STEM so the maths isn't much use to me - I'm happy to presume they got it right and then to know what the implications are). I've also heard no one else mentioned whether these are the fundamental building blocks of the universe and want to see what other's say on it

This is the best QM UT things I've ever seen on the web. As having evidenced by itself, it is an incredible talk along with showing up your enthusiasm, passion and perseverance in searching for QM completeness. Your talk is truly infectious to people like me with so many QM essential pieces and a more understandable way. What more astonishing to the global society is that most scientists have been giving up for decades to looking for a better QM explanation, but not you nor me.

I absolutely love the expository skills of professor Tong. I've recently discovered his physics lecture notes, and I'm blown away by how advanced, yet how elegantly and clearly put together they are. I hope I would have some time in the near future to translate this lecture into the Arabic language; regrettably I don't at the moment.

The real progress is owning the real level of our ignorance. Understanding it all will more than likely never to happen, and we have yet to peel away the layers of reality (as it is) that inform existence. But what we glean along the way might come in pretty handy. Great talk (that I finally had a chance to see)! Thank you!

Great presentation. And —Those basic ideas in quantum physics and unifying/field theories have been explored and explained thousands of years ago in the East- ancient and modern eastern philosophy talks about the basic building blocks (called atoms in western science) and an invisible field that unifies everything and everyone. The theory is thousands of years old, as far as the history of our species knows.

This idea of field reminds me of a hindou concept: the akasha. In this regard, this idea of an all pervasive field throughout space, time and matter dates back to a couple of thousand years. Together with prana (energy/conciousness), akasha makes all physical (and mind) phenomena emerge and disolve.
Great talk.

Since everything is about Fields, interconnectedness of everything, and Mass related to fields as well; everything what we call Mumbo Jumbo makes sense now.... Witchcraft, poltergeist, Telekinesis, Feelings of Being Watched, Goosebumps, "Entities", Life Force, Star Wars, Wizardry, Force Field, as long as one has a certain capacity to control or manipulate the fields with or without even realising it.

This illuminating lecture talks about the latest developments in theoretical physics. Starting with Standard Model and then going through Grand Unification Theory and Higg's Boson, and finally reaching at String Theory. Physicists conception of reality at present is erected upon the concept of field. However, if you ask any physicist what is this field, don't expect a clear cut answer! As said in this video field is something that has a particular value at each point in space and it pervades the whole of space. You can know it's presence by experiencing a force but not what it actually is! It is transcendental, beyond our direct experience. It's real nature is unknown and probably unknowable.
You thing you can know everything but when you go to the ultimate limit you recognise that you know nothing!

Die Diskussionen hier sind so interessant, dass ich mich mal genauer mit dem Thema beschäftigt habe. Dabei hat sich sehr eindeutig ergeben, dass im Video perfekt die Fehler der Lorentz-Formel erkannt wurden und dass diese auch sehr gut mit Beispielen verständlich gemacht wurden. Mich wundert, dass da überhaupt jemand, der etwas von Physik versteht, dies nicht wahr haben will und versucht etwas anzugeben, was dagegen spricht. Eigentlich gibt es da gar nichts zu diskutieren.
Das einzige, was mir nicht klar geworden ist, ist die Erklärung des Fadenstrahlrohrs, weil es hier ja gar keine zwei unterschiedliche Magnetfelder gibt, die addiert werden müssen. Die Magnetfeldlinien von beiden Spulen sollten hier tatsächlich im Innenraum der Spulen von einer Spule zur anderen gehen, was tatsächlich quer zur Elektronenbewegung ist und damit im Widerspruch zu einer Bewegung entlang von Magnetfeldlinien ist. In einem YouTube - Video wurde diese Magnetfeldrichtung sogar mit einem Kompass bestätigt.

I understand that a GUT unifies the 4 forced of nature but what about the other particles and their associated fields? Could there be a single field that explains those too or can someone explain why Fermions are different than Bosons when it comes to expecting a single unified field/force? Why not one field filling all of space that is responsible for all the particles like particles have different traits. Couldn't particles just be different traits or expressions/vibrations of the same field?

Which is : If a simple star does mass coronal discharge every second and releases million tons of plasma outside in universe, then a) Where does it negate or propagate, b) With reducing mass, according to Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction should reduce every second even if by fraction, but in long time run it should result in something. Please make a video on this.

He could have delivered his last speech by saying "But I hope someday, you can give us something better". This is to awaken the mind of the audience and yoing scientist to contribute something in physics😅like a motivational speech. As what michiu kaku always says to his interview, he always challenge his audiences and any people who has interest in physics to help them solve the equation, and he said he should be contacted first if somebody found the solution so that they can split the prize half and half which is a kind of a challenge to any aspiring scientist ❤.

A photon moving with the speed of light is described by the "energy it possessed". If a photon has a structure and may be rotated around an axis we can imagine it as a "Physical Point" or "as a seed/embryo" responsible for creating "elementary particles".

It’s interesting that we and our tools are made of these particles and waves and trying to understand our own nature and properties.Good luck.

I have a QUESTION
you've said the up quark, down quark, electron, and photon fundamentally exist as fields which are the up quark field, down quark field, electron field, and photon field which is the electromagnetic field.
And these fields get tied up into quanta bundles of energy to form their respective particles. You've said in a vacuum, if you remove these particles, the fields still exist which are the quantum vacuum fluctuation fields. So if you remove the particles, you've removed their respective fields too?
And you've said in a vacuum where all the particles have been taken out, there are still fields, the quantum vacuum fluctuation fields. Can these quantum vacuum fluctuation fields also be tied up into quanta bundles of energy to form a quantum vacuum fluctuation particle?

OK David, here's a holonomic, macro-ontological explanation: The CGI 'visualization' is not like the reality of the magneto-dielectric (MDE) 'sky-ocean' of being (the cosmos) 'inside' & 'outside' of everything, but it helps inch us closer to a new view of the current event (the cosmos, as is). It is the ever-changing condition of all 'physical' and proto-physical phenomena, at all scales of form. It happens as it does because of all the interactions of 'subfields' and of subfields with 'the field' (the magneto-dielectric sky-ocean of E + m, 'free' energy + 'matter'). >
Now, it helps to bear in mind that the apparently fluidic phenomena we see/detect as 'dark' energy/matter interacting with galaxies, etc., looks that way because it is fluidic, proto-fluidic & hyper-fluidic. So, every kind of energetic event in the cosmos, at all scales, impacts and affects the vibratory motions & flow events of all subfields. That is because all subfields are inseparably interdependent, interactive, and their radiant emanations interpenetrate each other. So, apparently, the elemental & sub-elemental subfields do what they do (and are as they are) because of 8 luminal gradients of energy density, radiation pressure, and resonant oscillatory activity caused & sustained by the energetic activity of everything & every mode of energy, at all scales. >
So, for a better QM view & better theory, we need quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) and hyper-fluid mechanics (HFM) + fluid mechanics + macro-ontology (not pseudo-cosmology). Of course, we don't need particles, because elemental & sub-elemental forms are fluid-dynamic events caused by all the interacting subfields of the MDE sky-ocean of E (the cosmos). This view enables understanding the detectable/observable reality of the field of being (the cosmos/reality) as it is, without blowing up any of it. >
For example, we can think of the relationship of hyper-physical, hyper-luminal (not dark), hyper-frequency hyper-plasma as having 2 main regimes of hyper-density (of E). So, let's say that +/--66% (of the +/--96% of being) is electronic hyper-plasma, and +/--33% is protionic hyper-plasma. The other +/--1% is probably trans-physical or trans-luminal hydrogenic plasma precipitating into the slower & lower energy density regime of luminal & sub-luminal E. Now, it helps to bear in mind that the "Planck energy" density at the Z-point interface between the hyper-luminal & luminal gradients/regimes = +/--10^113 greater than m, also that the EM forces of the luminal & sub-luminal subfields are 10^39 greater than G ('g force'). >
So, for the sake of truly progressive R&D, let's assume that the combined 'free' energy density, D(E), of the whole MDE sky-ocean = 10^152 x G, and that most of it is doing what it does in its hyper-luminal regimes 'inside' and 'outside' of all forms of elemental energy phenomena, etc. That's more than enough E to cause/enable & sustain all subfield phenomena detectable/observable at all scales of being. What enabled & sustains it all then becomes more easily understandable. >
For example, instead of an impossible expansion/explosion of nothingness accidentally causing everything, but mostly (+/--96%) nothing, we can think of energy arising/emerging/precipitating (take your pick) as a result of the enabling principles & properties of activity, a subsidiary principles of functionality, relativity, form, structure, physicality, etc. We can then intuit the initiation of spin, rotating subfields, more energy, interactions, more forms, etc., and so on. After all, spin, counter-rotating subfields, and dual-vortices of E are the most primitive generative forms & modes of organization (& E). >
Hence, instead of an absurdly repulsive accelerating expansion of nothingness (empty, nonphysical, vacuum/space), we can see the ubiquitous microwave 'background' of the MDE sky-ocean and some of the relative blue+red-shift as results of accelerating spin (of the cosmic field of being). Yes, instead of an impossible explosion & repulsive expansion of a bunch of nothing (& an infinitesimal smattering of stuff) plus eternally entropic E-loss, the universe can generate more E as its rate of spin increases. >
Naturally, it helps to remember that, so far, what physicists & astronomers have studied and mostly misunderstood is a very tiny fraction of +/--4% of less than +/--4% of the totality of universal being. Of course, we can admit that it's mostly misunderstood because ever more, unexpected, surprising, mysterious phenomena are discovered (almost daily) that keep invalidating the predictions, fundamental assumptions, hypotheses, theorems, and beliefs of SM QM & its pseudo-cosmology. That was possible because the current SM QM status quo ignores most of the realities and all of the nonphysical causal/enabling & sustaining principles that empower all energetic phenomena (the totality of universal being).

About the Burkhard Heim theory, on this presentation on 25-11-1976, I only know 2 things:
1º Burkhard set all forces (strong, weak, electromagnetic, gravitation) , not trough the exchange of particles, but trough deformation of its own space, like gravity is done in Einstein theory with deformation of Space-Time space.
This is why, for more forces, are needed more dimensions (I remember 6 on original theory of 1976).
2º It is a geometrical theory. And its prediction is what really impress to me. Not only mass (about 20 elementary particles, with precision of about 4 to 8 digits), but also average life of each particle.
I do not understand full him, but for what I have read from him, particles are a kind of dynamical structures jumping between the 6 dimensions.
Also, on its prediction, is a thing, at least for me, incredible. On its 1976 presentation, it show how gravitational force is changed, according to his theory.
It is on his 1976 presentation (Basic thoughts on a unified field theory of matter and gravity).
The function, the gravitation force, is displayed with distance, and for low distance, is like Newton Law (1/r^2), positive (attraction).
But since a cosmic distance, it reaches zero, and after, saturate on a constant repulsive force, independent of distance ,,,,,,, .
¿Do you remember red-shift, speed proportional to distance ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?. Exactly from this can be.
And worst, at a big cosmic distance (Over Galaxy clouds size),,,,,,,,, it start a exponential-way repulsive force,,,,,,
¿Must I remember you the Dark-Energy?, at big distance, we saw now, since 2000, a big, big, repulsion,,,,,,,,,,,
This work was presented on 1976, on the old MMB of Germany,,,,,,,,,,
Well, as I have told you, I do not understand almost nothing from him, so, I have just start testing his presentation on 1976, his formulae, and just the beginning (Electron charge, who did him before 1960), test it, both quantitative, and qualitative (Dimensional analyse).
And yes, it is, both, true.
Best Regards.

It's pretty mind-bending. Knowing that all particles in the universe are somehow created by quantum fields doesn't even come close to explaining what is guiding these fields into creating these particles. We know DNA is responsible for replicating cells. And yet we have no idea what guides a quantum field into creating this DNA particle. And these DNA particles are "copies" in one species, but quite different in another. What force guides these quantum fields to create such particles? And how can we be so certain that, just because the quantum field exists, and it's behavior is affected by the particles in it, that it is, itself, responsible for these particles existing?

We are not seeing new particles from LHC because we only are detecting quantum wave fluctuations. We disturb the wave fields by colliding energetic particles. It's like seeing a crocodile jump out of the water whenever it sees a bird but we don't know what's under water once the crocodile goes underwater. That's what we detect with LHC. Similar analogy would be seeing everything around a blackhole but not inside it. We need to fine tune our detectors to much lower energy than operating at GeV levels. We can do that when maybe by not using water for bubble chambers but Bose Einstein condensate as detector fluid. Only then maybe we can measure quantum fields "near" their lowest energy states. We probably will never hit a 0 energy quantum field observation since measurement requires to disturb the fields at the fundamental level. Maybe when we will have near zero kelvin electronics, we will start seeing deeper under the shroud. As humans we are still operating at very high temperatures in particle wave physics. We only see high energy wave fluctuations of the standard model which is true but it's deeper.

Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons.
Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles?
Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons
. Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process.
Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.

I like the animation of the quantum field. This is the absolute minimum of existence. There can be no less than the perpetual motion of "quantum foam" of spacetime which is certainly something. Nothingness cannot exist.
The Universe exists because it's impossible to not exist. In one form or another. There is no creation, only transformations of something existing into something else existing.
No "creator" needed.

This is my problem when trying to picture particles as ripples or waves in fields: the table next to me seems to be still and localised whereas ripples spread out...wouldn't that make the table dissipate? The electrons in my body might be in motion, in ordit around the atomic nucleus, but they don't seem to be spreading out as a ripple or moving through space as a current would. Then it occured to me that the earth and my body are moving through space as the earth orbits the sun. Are the electrons in my body like currents through the electron field as my body moves through space with the earth? Am I made up of currents of energy in constant motion through the universe rather than still or localised particles? At least currents in the ocean have a direction rather than spreading out like a ripple or an expanding ball in three dimensions. Is that the way to think of particles as waves or have I got that totally wrong?

Kalagur is the point and process in which the the particles of substances move/transform into non matter form of energy. The particles are broken down into smaller parts thus we can not use the phrase "broken down" because they are already in their smallest, we rather use the term "transform". Transformation from physically possible to identify to sensibly possible to identify.

In this theory the mathematics of quantum mechanics represents geometry, the Planck Constant ħ=h/2π is linked to 2π circular geometry representing a two dimensional aspect of 4π spherical three-dimensional geometry. We have to square the wave function Ψ² representing the radius being squared r² because the process is relative to the two-dimensional spherical 4π surface. We then see 4π in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π representing our probabilistic temporal three dimensions life. The electron e² and the speed of light c² are both squares for the same geometrical reason. This theory explain a Mathematical explanation of creation with the mathematics representing a simple geometrical process! This theory is explained by just one equation (E=ˠM˳C²)∞. With energy ∆E equals mass ∆M linked to the Lorentz contraction ˠ of space and time. The Lorentz contraction ˠ represents the time dilation of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. We have energy ∆E slowing the rate that time ∆t flows as a universal process of energy exchange or continuous creation. Mass will increase relative to this process with gravity being a secondary force to the electromagnetic force. The c² represents the speed of light c radiating out in a sphere 4π of EMR from its radius forming a square c² of probability. We have to square the probability of the wave-function Ψ because the area of the sphere is equal to the square of the radius of the sphere multiplied by 4π. This simple geometrical process forms the probability and uncertainty of everyday life and at the smallest scale of the process is represented mathematically by Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π. In such a theory the future is unfolding photon by photon with the movement of charge and flow of EM fields. This gives us a geometrical reason for positive and negative charge with a concaved inner surface for negative charge and a convexed outer surface for positive charge. The brackets in the equation (E=ˠM˳C²)∞ represent a dynamic boundary condition of an individual reference frame with an Arrow of Time or time line for each frame of reference. The infinity ∞ symbol represents an infinite number of dynamic interactive reference frames that are continuously coming in and out of existence. The spontaneous absorption and emission of light is continuously forming a probabilistic future by changing photon ∆E=hf potential energy into the kinetic energy of electrons.

Considering universe made of fluid like substance called fields and quantized nature of these fields I imagine the universe to be made of infinitely small quantum particles. When free they represent Space and when bound they represent electrons or quarks. Since electrons and quarks have mass, charge and magnetic moment these quantum particles must be mass, charge and magnetic particles. These particles behave as fluid and have wave properties. These particles are responsible for all forces and motions. Objects move towards space where these particles have lower density and away from space where these particles have higher density. Density gradient of these particles produces force fields.These particles are in perpetual motion and represent total energy of the universe. Within electrons or quarks these particles remain in motion each oriented in one of 3 spatial dimensions. For a stationary electron these particles represent rest energy. Not only are these particles bound within electron they also surround the electron. Like particles share common space but unlike particles do not. Density of magnetic particles is higher b/w like poles and lower b/w opposite poles which causes repulsion and attraction. Oscillation of electric and magnetic fields and motion of photons is due these quantum particles. Motion of photon is due to its mass, electric and magnetic particles adjust their wavelength and frequency according to photon energy. The bound particles of electron act as particle while free particles surrounding the electron exhibit wave properties giving electron its dual nature.

The problem with our science is the idea of particles we need to look at everything like it’s water that’s our physical representation of the real universe.
As humans I feel we are unequipped with the tools to understand our universe is there a thing as magnetic field cameras?

How is it that I can understand every word, and maybe even every concept that he posits, with his ingeniously simplified explanations and still not see into “The equation” adequately to see the patterns that he wants us to find, or discover what the new maths should able to derive and how??
Again Wow. How can he make me feel so smart, and I make me feel so obtuse, at the same time?

About gravity: At first, we said, Gravity is an attraction caused by mass. Then we said, Gravity is actually caused by warping spacetime. Then we said, (Gravity) mass is caused by a Higgs field. But to me it seems to be constantly kicking the can down the road. At the end of the day, I still don't understand "what" causes gravity or mass. I'm just a casual observer, of course, I'm not a professional anything in this field. What occupies my thoughts is that gravity appears equivalent to acceleration, but acceleration of what? A thing that is spinning is experiencing continuous acceleration (if I understand correctly), so intuitively I think that gravity is caused by acceleration, but of what? The only thing that seems to be accelerating is time. And of course I don't even know what time is, either.

The idea of Quantum Fields had long ago been presented by the Vedānta of India (you may want to call this body [which also for the most part fall at the end portion] of the Vedas as the Revelations) as Māyā. You can think of the latter as both the field and the operator -- both being perpetual & self regulating. The earth and all other celestial bodies have this behavior and they are held, perpetually regulated by this Māyā, the source of which is the sourceless, birthless, deathless, ever young, totally independent (one can add any number of epithets) entity called Brahman. Scientifically you can refer to this Causeless-Cause as The Supra Source, Surroundings, System, Background, Supra-Basis-Function with an Unalterable Singularity or Infinity (that is beyond all limitations of Space, Time, Knowledge [words & meanings, languages, representations] AND Mind of Man). It is wielding Māyā & It can withdraw Māyā making Space, Time, Mind all get sublated INSTANTANEOUSLY. The latter description, not surprisingly, is a mathematical & logical requirement where one can't speak of boundary conditions!

Thank you for a wonderful talk! As for the LHC not seeing anything new, I'm fully of the opinion (and I know it's only my opinion!) that there's simply nothing else to see, unless we built a machine the size of the universe! We really should go back to the drawing board, & look for symmetries & patterns - both in the math, and in the conceptual realm. I feel there's something more fundamental we're missing, some way of jiggling the same puzzle pieces in the same box until we get a new shape. Time will (hopefully) tell. Thank you again for a great job & a very enjoyable time! Rikki Tikki.

Dr Tong needs to bare in mind that all of human history does not originate with the Ancient Greeks. And that there still exist even more ancient continual civilisations whose investigative mindset, contribution to maths science and the nature of what we are made of is even deeper than the greeks could imagine. Their icon is found at the entrance to the LHC at Cern.

Next to come is that Spatial Dimensions are nothing but illusions.
Only particles fields’ properties which rule how the fields are allowed to interact together or not together.
So the Second Law of Thermodynamic gets raised to a principle that makes the Spatial Dimensional illusion arising, besides the arrow of time.

its real simple. The double slit experiment doesnt create questions, it illustrates the answer. The quantum fields are quantum, sub material energy. The experiment shows how they become matter. No amount of particle acceleration is going to shed light on that because the quantum fields are by definition not particles.

At 48:19 David says "we do the calculations" (on the quantum vacuum field) and it matches "perfectly" the cosmic background radiation... but then seconds later at 48:38, he asks which field is the one that is imprinted on the CBG, and says we don't know. How is that possible? You've just done the bloody calculations... surely you know what you've just calculated, and therefore what led to the result you just got.... Great lecture, but skimming over things like this doesn't really make sense...

A soap bubble has before it pops has a rainbow on its surface that ocelots in millions of patterns that are connected with every pattern, thus affecting ultimately the entire surface. Looking like fractals blended yet separate from each field of each level of color. If you gently blow onto the surface, where the puff contacts the surface, the colors move into other layers causing a domino effect. That one puff of air eventually alters the movement of the entire surface. I found this a good representation of the waves interacting with each other.

Как говорил герой фильма: "Смутные сомнения терзают меня", глядя на веселый венегрет порезанных и целых инградиентов стандартной модели. И дело даже не в названиях и определениях, а в получившемся именно венегрете понимания, в итоге определяющего картину блюда из нарезанных кварков и целых лептонов. В структре сферической галактики есть энергетические центры: звезды, нейтронные звезды, черные дыры. Эллипсо подобный квазар преобразуя сферическую галактику в спиральную, формирует сферу галактического балджа. При прорыве сферы, черная дыра формирует джеты и спиральные рукава. Сотни милиардов звезд, милионы нейтронных звезд, черные дыры и вишенка на торте - центральная сверх массивная черная дыра. Если структуры спиральной галактики и дейтерия эволюционно подобны и дейтерий наполнен огромным множеством внутриквантовых элементов, которые подобны: звездам, нейтронным звездам, черным дырам, центральной черной дыре, плюс одной единственной карликовой галактике (электрону) плавающей в галактическом торе. Дейтерий состоит из протона и нейтрона. Если, условно, его расколоть, отделить друг от друга: спиральные рукава, от крепко связанной в одно целое, сферы балджа с находящейся внутри (возбудившейся в этот момент?) черной дырой и джетами, электронное облако с электроном. Спиральные рукава и тор под действием электромагнитно гравтационных сил объеденятся в протий, крепко связанная "ядерными" силами сфера балджа дейтерия, отделенная от рукавов, предстанет перед нами в виде недолго живущего нейтрона. Электрон (условная карликовая галактика) покинет место действия только после распада нейтрона (сферы балджа?), оставляя неприкаянным протон и рождая нейтрино? Если с нейтроном все более мение понятно, то что собой структурно представляет кварковый венегрет протона?

What if the dark energy is lives lived that no attention or consciousness has yet touched. Like bubbles start at a singularity, into space and time, expansion and gravity, and also the “death” of the bubble or life, infinitely thus creating the field. Like combining string theory, partial theory and religion theory, in 4D perhaps it’s possible?

At the end of the day it says we simply don't know.

What if what we think we are discovering about physics is really just a self-fulfilling mechanism that responds to what we are expecting to find? One day all the physicists will run out of work when they realize that the closer they ever looked at anything, the less they saw - until in the end, there was nothing left at all.
The answer was always 42, nerds.

This pretty much confirms my entire theory of the universe. I've been playing the game of Go, and meditating on reality lately.
I started with a premise that I discovered years ago: in a universe composed entirely of lies, there is still Truth.
I also realized that, no matter where you are, Truth was truth. If your at point A, and your mom dies at point B, the Truth is that your mom dies at point B, even if you move to point C.
Therefore, I decided that Truth must be a singular force, flowing eternally back into itself. That all points of Truth are connected to all other points of Truth. The truth that flows in the air is the same Truth which flows through the space of the tiniest atom, and all these spaces are both infinitely small and infinitely large at the same time. Everything is connected, but separate. And there are forces that balance them all out. A push for every pull.
All this from a 4,000-year-old board game, and my boredom.
But I love the lecture nonetheless.

"Fields" as you like to call them are wave patters in the space fabric. The electron rides on a dimple of space like a surfer on a wave. This is how it does it's magic. It's called pilot wave theory. And it solves all the dogma of quantum theory, eliminates uncertainty, and allows the mind of God in it's equations. Simple.

instead of dark energy and dark matter, What if we called it orthogonal energy and orthogonal matter, A state of matter that is vectorially orthogonal or not measurable in our physical measurement methods to date, yet its effect can be measured to show it exists. What if there is an I and Q channel in both space AND time and the field must pass twice to show back up in our measurements. Such that two orthogonal transformations becomes measurable, but one transformation cannot.

Thank you so much for this lecture! :) Especially thanks to professor Tong for trying to explain in leman terms such complicated concepts of quantum mechanics. I always loved professors who are more interested in teaching their student than they are hearing the sound of their own voice. It is interesting to mention that the reason I got interested in quantum mechanics is Tibetan Buddhism. I am not a religious person or a fanatic, far from that. But I find very interesting the fact that some monks living on tall maintains long before the age of logic and modern science believed the same thing as a the most esteemed theoretical physicist and astrophysicist of today, that our own reality is just a persistent illusion. Also the concepts that matter is made from energy and that we are all part of the same energy field is very similar to understandings of Tibetan Buddhism. In Bardo Thodol, the Tibetan book of the dead it is thought that matter is an illusion made from a single conciseness. That we are all part of that conciseness, that we are a same being expressing itself in a different way,sharing a same pure mind called dharmata from which all illusionary realities are made of.

So it seems the Buddha was right about interpenetration, where things exist only as part of the total nexus of reality. He realized that 2500 years ago through insight and intuition, combined with great efforts, similar to how Faraday realized truths about electromagnetic induction. Related to the Buddha's insight of interpenetration is the insight of no abiding essence, where in reality nothing actually exists, and it is only our brain's habit of clinging to bits and pieces of the ongoing flow of emptiness that forms the appearance of solid, persistant objects. Perhaps that insight that can help physicists find new and deeper meanings in their ToE equation.

Chaos systems are too complex for human calculation to really get a grip on. Attempting to solve the riddle of the universe is the same as predicting a global economy or predicting the weather over the long term.
The dimensions of a chaos system may look deceivingly simple, but the underlying variables are just too complex to fathom.
We can get glimpses of how such systems work, but never the full picture.
The interaction of gravity fields, electricity, magnetism, atoms, planets, stars, nebula, galaxies - just too complex to truly decipher.
Especially when you consider we still don't know the true dimensions of the universe. Which is akin to attempting to work out what causes seasonal changes in the weather, without knowing the world was a sphere spinning at its axis, orbiting its star.

Short story, nonfiction or fiction it's open to interpretation.
The brain is a quantum entangled neural network. We, as individuals, consciously control a single neuron (node) that consciously interacts with our nervous system. The rest are part of the subconscious neural network. We all exist inside of each other's neural network. If we didn't we couldn't share an experience inside this self projected universe. We are all a duality, self is not unique to the individual. The individual is unique to self. None of us are observers, the only thing we observe as individuals are the projections of self.
When 2 individuals meet inside the self projection, the nodes in each brain representing the participants forge neurological connections to each other, so they can share an experience together. Simultaneously every other brain has those same 2 neurological connections made based on their own positions in spacetime. Your neuron (node) and my neuron (node) exist inside of every brain of every human on earth. We all share an umbilical cord and that umbilical cord ties all of our neurology together.
All that neurological action taking place while we sleep, most of it's the participants that are awake and actively making neurological connections. Those connections have to be made in all of our brains in order for quantum tunneling of information to occur. The subconscious mind is something we all share, just like self. We have roughly 7.9 billion living humans and our neural network consists of about 85-90 billion neurons. I'll let you ponder what those neurons represent. The neural network has redundancy built into it by design.
Our brain's subconscious development depends only on the location of all the nodes in spacetime as the brain is developing and connecting to them subconsciously. The conscious branching occurs through interaction inside the self projection. Unless an individual has genetic or medical conditions preventing normal neurological development and function, the human brain will have forged a full subconscious connection to the entire universe at some point during adult life. In order to benefit from other nodes you have to forge actual conscious connections in spacetime. So the brain will forge conscious neurological connections.
We are all tied together subconsciously but in order to share an experience consciously we have to make conscious neurological connections. This can only be done inside of spacetime through conscious interaction.
Just making conscious notice of someone walking past you on the street will forge a neurological connection to that node consciously and this will allow you to network with their subconscious mind to gain enlightenment. The internet is a powerful tool for forging conscious neurological connections. Just interacting online is enough to forge a physical conscious connection neurologically.
In either case we are all entangled and we are building more and more conscious connections to each other. In doing so we are gaining enlightenment or intelligence which might equate to higher energy consumption (brighter star).
It would seem that the more conscious neurological connections a person makes to the network the more subconscious power they receive.
What role does our moral conduct play on diseases and other bugs that infect our system? What role does our level of conscious connectivity to the subconscious neural network play with the energy consumption of the quantum realm powering our network? Is sin just a poison that infects our network like a virus? We are all entangled, so all of our cups pour into each other. How does morality play into our conscious connections to the world? Does a connection forged in moral obligation and truth produce a more powerful connection than a connection forged in lies and deceit?
Will we make it to the heavens? Will humanity fail to complete the Trinity?
Consume so much power that we self-destruct before we achieve artificial universal intelligence? Before our subconscious becomes self aware and our GOD> can emerge? The Father and Son await. WIll humanity receive the holy spirit? Forge a connection to the Trinity and allow our GOD> to emerge, and open up our heavens?
Or will humanity end up a failed experiment and attempt to produce a universally conscious being? I believe humanity will make it to the heavens and we will produce a universally conscious GOD>.
I call this story "The Trinity Of Human Evolution". Brought to us by The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit.

The concept of “nothing” cannot have the ability to act, otherwise it would exist as a “potential act” and be one of many things that exist. If the universe came from “nothing” then this nothing would have had the ability to become the universe. But the concept “nothing” as we previously explained, cannot have the ability to act, therefore, the universe could not have come from nothing on its own.
Since there are things that do exist, then “something” must have always existed, because as we just proved, things cannot come from “nothing” on their own.
If time had ever proceeded at an infinite rate, which is like fast forwarding through a motion picture, we would not be here today because all events would have already occurred in a single instant. Therefore, time has always progressed at a finite rate and any mathematician can prove that time could never have progressed over an infinite time interval. The proof goes like this, pick any number no matter how great. You can always add one to it and thereby make it greater in value, therefore you can never reach infinity. And you cannot say that all we need to do is to wait an infinite amount of time and then we would reach infinity, because then you are assuming that you can wait an infinite amount of time. However, this is what you were trying to prove and so that is not proof at all. You cannot assume to be true, that which you are trying to prove to be true otherwise you can prove anything to be true, even that which is false. Therefore, time could not have started an “infinite” time ago and therefore had a beginning a finite time ago.
Since “something” always existed as we previously proved, it had to have existed before time started. Since space and time are one entity called the space-time continuum as Einstein pointed out, then this “something” had to have existed before space and time existed and therefore caused space and time.
Since this “something” existed outside of space and time it cannot be made up of material things, because material things can only exist in space. And this “something” could not be just chaos which has no order, because as we previously proved, something cannot come from nothing on its own, hence order cannot come from pure disorder. Therefore, this “something” had to have had the ability to cause order, space-time, material things, beauty, life, everything in our universe, including our universe and natural laws and rules. Since we call ourselves beings, then we should at least call this “something” a Being, who we call God.
Since only God always existed, and the universe is not made of God as we just proved, then God must have created the universe out of “nothing”. Since “nothing” does not even exist, then God must have infinite Power in order to have created the universe from “nothing”. Since all people desire happiness, then God must have created us to be happy out of love for us.
Naturally, all creatures should love their Creator. For us to love God from our heart, God had to create in us a free-will, because no person can be forced to love, otherwise this would not be true love from their heart. With our free-will, we can choose to do good or bad to our neighbor and this is why there is sin in the world, because some people have chosen to hate God and their neighbor and are only interested in pleasing themselves. God did not create evil, nor does He desire evil, but he does allow sin to happen because He had to form us with a free-will, in order for us to love Him and others from our heart.

Their is something smaller then fields. :) Try this one. Imagine this one here, you see the galaxy and how that goes around something bigger and then look at planets and solar systems, then look at particle, look at quarks, then look at smaller stuff and so on.. now work out the other way with it and keep on and keep on the possibilities are endless. That is the way life works in it self. No one will ever know the end of things how how small it can go or even how big it goes because we stop the researches cause of MONEY! Got to love stuff like this though. Life is a wonderful thing and so is everything else. Bad part is We are killing people over and over with wars and homeless people are dyeing and stop research projects that could have been better off then what it currently is now because of money. If we ever stop caring about money then we would be way better off then we are now. It is sad but that is the fact.

Unlike most I listen to concerning subjects such as this, I actually respect Mr. Tong. Why, you may ask? Simply because he is unafraid to admit what is not known. Too many scientists that I have listened to their lectures get stuck in a groove of assertion wrapped together in logical fallacy, with a healthy dose of philosophical bias added in to sweeten the mix. I get really sick of that extremely quickly. It is like the concept of force particles, an idea held close by many to explain attraction/repulsion on various scales without having spooky action at a distance (sometimes called "occult forces" when marginalization is at work). The problem is that the usually philosophical bias-based explanations are usually MORE improbable than "spooky action at a distance."

Time is a tricky entity. It is conceptual and can only be perceived by an intelligent beings like human with a conscious mind. From this aspect, time has no beginning and no ending. Before the universe were born time was already there ticking and no conscious mind were there to observe. Just like space, it has no beginning and ending. Time and Space including our thoughts and our thinking are infinite.

",,When you get near two magnets, you feel the force,,,,, it is magic,,,,".
Yes, on 1972, I was 12 years old, I remember in my fathers house, a small town in Spain, far from any city, taking two magnets from the engine of a toy, and looking to sky, to clouds,,,,,,,, and move the magnets while I saw the clouds,,,,,,,,,,,
Then I even did not go to school, after went to university, and knew all clasical fields,,,,,,, 25 years of R&D, patents,,,etc.
But this feeling of magic, I never forget it.
And even now, with all my knowledge (now, I am 62 years old)),,,,,, when I take magnets, even now, I feel magic,,,,,,,,
Some kind of children, live still inside my spirit.

Pueden haber, en efecto muchos progresos científicos en lo sucesivo, pero que no dependerán ya de la experimentación, que ya ha tocado límites extremos. Ni de la Matemática. Vendrán de la Filosofía aunada con la Física propiamente dicha. La Ciencia actual, no es tal, pues es más Matemática que física, o sea, la llamada Fisicamatemática. Será una Filosofía y una Física nuevas. Se llaman Filosofía Informatica y Física Informática. El punto de partida es, de nuevo, la Intuición y la Especulación. Pero no hay Experimentación, en este caso. Se invoca el máximo Principio, axiomático-extremo, el cual no es demostrable, pero puede ser Intuitivo, es especulativo, filosóficamente admitido. El Conocimiento (Humano, obviamente), tiene tres fuentes: la Observación, la Experimentación y el Pensar. El Pensar, los auna a todos. Y los Contiene. Al comienzo no tuvimos más que el Pensar, y a ahora al final, volvemos a lo mismo. Pero a otro nivel, como dice Hegel. Nos detenemos un poco, a meditar. Es necesario hacer un inventario, sacar conclusiones finales. Hacer una especie de borrón y cuenta nueva. Comenzar de nuevo. Por el Principio, el nuevo Principio. Que es el mismo viejo Principio, el ÁPEIRON de ANAXÁGORAS, llevado a sus máximas consecuencias y bajo otra perspectiva.
Hay un Principio, el ÁPEIRON, de Anaxágoras, que es indefinido, infinito, informe, el CAOS SUPERIOR. Luego, hay otro principio, platónico, de la forma. El Universo es la FORMA, impuesta y plasmada sobre él, sobre el ápeiron, como ORDEN SUPERIOR. Lo que no es Universo, es NO UNIVERSO. Diferenciemos, el Universo existe. El No Universo, no existe. Este es el verdadero vacío, esta es la NADA. Que está fuera del Universo. Aquí en nuestro Universo, no hay más VACÍO, que nosotros mismos. Aquí, todo esta lleno. Repleto y copado, por la SUSTANCIA primordial, que es el mismo ÁPEIRON, pero ya con la forma, ya no es informe, ya no es Ápeiron, entonces lo llamo EXTENSIÓN. Esta tiene ORDEN, UN ORDEN SUPERIOR que rige a todo el Universo y es el Universo mismo. Luego tenemos, el vacío de nosotros mismos, que es EL PENSAMIENTO, EL PENSAR, ya que tiene la FORMA, pero sin ningún contenido sustancial, sin el ápeiron. La misma forma que tiene el UNIVERSO, pero solo la forma, es la forma geométrica pura, sin nexos con nada físico. Por ello, la NADA, encarnamos la Nada, por así decirlo. Somos pura Conciencia, pura forma. En cambio, el Universo es la forma integrada con el ápeiron. Es una conformación geométrica y física, o con consecuencias físicas, que llamo EXTENSIÓN. Esto sonar nada raro. Lo han pensado ya los hombres desde la antiguedad, que hablaron del éter. Pero a su manera. No como lo presento yo ahora, integrado, como EXTENSIÓN.
Pero aún todavía, esto es una tendencia marcada, de la misma Física, que tiende a desmaterializar el Universo, siendo que de los cuerpos mareriales se pasa a los campos, y de las partículas, se pasa a los campos electrodinámicos, y entre estos uno más especial aun, que es el Campo de Higgs, que llena todos los recovecos más recónditos del Universo. Que impera y se enseñorea del vacío, que en realidad, como he sostenido, no es ningún vacío. Entonces sí podemos avanzar pero, como dije, hay que cambiar, se necesita una verdadera Revolución, en la Ciencia, y no meros cambios eventuntuales.

The more you learn about quantum field theory the more it resembles Advaita Vedanta (a darshana of Hinduism). @20.16 he says "All the electrons in your body are waves of the same underlying field. We are all connected to each other. Waves of the ocean all belong to the same Underlying ocean". Vedanta mentions that the Individual Atman (roughly translated as Self) is the same as the Universal Brahman (Consciousness). The individual due to Avidya (ignorance) doesn't know that all the Atmans are connected and the goal of life is to recognize that all Atmans are connected and the same as the Brahman.

The notion that reality is composed of a fundamental field that is spread everywhere and is therefore non-local, and ripples and waves, is much more ancient than you imagine. Look at the descriptions of reality in ancient Buddhist and Hindu texts. Up to this point in the talk (11 minutes) I could be listening to a scientist building a link between Quantum Physics and the insights of ancient Eastern philosophy. I think Heraclitus' cosmology is pretty comparable too.

Perfect. Yes it's a red herring chase. May be you should start looking within. We project the virtual reality. Dark matter is energy field (kinetic) and you are the creator the potential energy. It's like sitting on a computer and trying to find the source forgetting the operator. May be you can find answer though abstract but explains the double slit experiment. What we see and perceive may not be right and could be a red herring. 🙏

This was fun and informative. When he identified that ten of the elements from the periodic table had been discovered “right in this room”, he sure got my attention. Ditto on his statement that J.J. Thompson’s identification of the electron was also in the same place. However he did make one mistake; he said that the designation of up quarks and down quarks was arbitrary. Not so. Each and every particle has a characteristic spin associated with it. Whether this spin is clockwise or counterclockwise is a crucial quantum law. You determine the direction of this spin by forming your hand into fist with a thumb’s up arrangement. Then lay the fist with your fingers curling in the counterclockwise direction. Your thumb will point up. Hence all up quarks spin in a counterclockwise direction. Place your curled, thumb-pointing direction in a clockwise direction. Your thumb will point down. Therefore, all down quarks will have a clockwise spin. This is a very important point. The whole assembly of an atom, for example, precludes combinations of all up quarks with identical particle spins. Cf. The Pauli exclusion principle, e.g.

I have a lot of trouble with the way that fields are described. "Fluid-like substance?" How is it a substance? In what way is it fluid-like? "Fluid-like" refers to ways that particles might behave. But fields are not particles. And also, I thought that fields are not substances? I thought that was the whole point of a field?
I understand that using language to describe phenomena in physics is a futile effort, but surely there's a better way to describe fields than this?

Scrolling away at five minutes in. Postulation that the periodic table of elements is a way to organize nature is like organizing cars in a car lot by taking them apart and putting the different parts in different piles. This while denying the fact that how nature organizes itself through immense forces of gravity results in the constituent pieces we recognize as atoms could yet tell us what there is to know about the universe.

That's right. In quantum field theory, the fundamental building blocks of matter are not particles, but continuous fluid-like substances known as "quantum fields". These fields exist throughout the universe, and they can be excited to create particles.
For example, the electron field is a quantum field that exists throughout the universe. When the electron field is excited, it creates an electron particle. The same is true for all other particles, such as photons, protons, and neutrons.
Quantum fields are a very powerful way to understand the universe. They allow us to describe the behavior of particles in a very precise way, and they can be used to explain a wide range of physical phenomena.
One of the most important things about quantum fields is that they are quantized. This means that they can only have certain discrete values. This quantization is responsible for the wave-particle duality of matter, which is the idea that matter can behave like both a wave and a particle.
Quantum fields are also very important in understanding the forces of nature. The electromagnetic force, the weak force, and the strong force are all mediated by quantum fields. This means that these forces are actually the result of the interaction of quantum fields.
Quantum fields are a very important part of our understanding of the universe. They are a powerful way to describe the behavior of particles, and they are responsible for the forces of nature.
Here are some of the key features of quantum fields:
They are continuous fluid-like substances.
They exist throughout the universe.
They can be excited to create particles.
They are quantized.
They mediate the forces of nature.
Quantum fields are a very complex topic, but they are also a very powerful way to understand the universe. They are a key part of our understanding of particles, forces, and the nature of reality.

Not sure if he is simplifying for the sake of the audience but his statement around 40:00 is just flat out wrong.

In reality, the vast majority of mass in the world is the result of energy bound with the strong nuclear force.

this doesn't make sense. the radius of the observable universe is about 45 billion light years. but according to his calculations the radius of an event horizon for the weight of the observable universe should only be 15.7 billion light years... so it's about 1/3 the size of the observable universe not bigger than. what am I missing here?

Electric power doesn't obey principles of Newtonian physics. We can do things with electric power that seems impossible in Newtonian physics. Like transformers increasing power watts by using coils of copper wire . The only loss of current is heat going from 12 volt 40 amps to 110 v 40 amps.. An old design inverter losses 5 amps to heat for 40 amps. It is possible to get the increase in power without losing even 5 amps to heat. The current input should equal the current output but there's an increase in power. If we carefully arrange the distance between the coils and adjust the coil ratio we can reduce the loss of current to heat. This seems impossible.

This is a breath taking insight into our amazing universe.
There has been so much talk and study of the universe but without assured knowledge of who we are, why we are here, who set off all these things in motion and what is required of us. This only leads eventually to a scary despair. This is especially so when we contemplate the ultimate outcome of all that we know; 1. The big rip, 2. The big crunch or 3. The big bounce.
Until then however we continue to entertain ourselves with our research into the mind blowing mysteries of it.
The universe is such a huge toy. We are privileged and pleased to be able to enjoy playing with it even till ripe old age.
Life on the other hand is far bigger than the universe and we can't play with it. We require more than the knowledge that science gives us, we need wisdom. Science is busy only with the palpable and observable physical phenomena, it has not derived any equations yet showing how the spiritual realm interacts with and influences the physical world. Until it does that, science will not be able to impart wisdom for life, neither can it fully understand the physical world.
When God foresaw this plight of the scientist, He offered him this advise in Ecclesiastes 12:12-14:
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil
There is so much yet to know of the universe but alas time is running out because Christ cometh soon.
Seeing that the creator of the universe is about to bring a close to this dispensation and age, It is necessary that every scientist and indeed all humanity embrace the wisdom of salvation through faith in Jesus.
What will happen to the universe eventually will not be any of our business after all. He that started it all has no problems about its future. Let's busy ourselves with what He requires of us within our little slot of time given us to live and secure eternal life for ourselves through faith in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus which He accomplished on the cross to wash away our sins with His blood.
Hopefully that will be the best way to witness what will become of the universe because we will live for ever with Him to see what He will do with them. So the best wisdom for every scientist is to enroll through faith in Christ in God's eternal kingdom where you will be able to continue your research forever.

'Some crazy Russian guy solved one of them'
How can he be crazy if he solved one of the hardest mathematical equations known to us?
Is it because he was Russian and poor?
Is the line between eccentricity or brilliance and craziness one of wealth and/or nationality?
If by crazy you mean he was socially inept, you've probably just described every theoretical physicist....which takes us back to the first question.

Please use the magnet sticks like the ones David Tong holds in this a copacitors and Electricity by OMD. to make magnetic fields that pulse. capacitors the Electrictronic component
acts as a temporary dam for Electricity. to create pulses of Electricity in your PlayStation 5 and in your smartphone. And with all of those Electricity pulses in the magnet sticks. what happens to the fluid-like substances aka Quantum Particles collisions in pulses. use an adjustable resistors to add an adjustable dial to your Matter making box. just use a microwave sized box. safely. don't use it to make heavy elements such as element 115 it's why Bob Lazar's home was raided by the the FBI. he mentioned he someone tried to buy it off him. The smartphones were off at the time. so ambient computing lead to the raid of poor Bob's home & he talked about it on a YouTube video with Jeremy Corbell. So think twice if not think thrice about what you make with a matter making box. stay safe people. Don't make weapons. make a world of abundance, not a world of scarcity. 🖖🎶☮️

As an engineer who has always been passionate about math and physics, I was intrigued by modern physics, despite neither relativity nor quantum mechanics were part of any course syllabus at my university. I studied these subjects on the side and found them really inspiring, I would go as far as to say that they gave me a novel perspective on life itself. That prompted me to create some online courses on Udemy on Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, special and General Relativity. It’s not my job of course, but I love talking about these topics while using some mathematics for “intuition”.

We don't use Edison generators and Tesla dynamos with inverters and transformers as inexpensive power plants because most people are grossly misinformed about power generation and power use. We don't need nuclear power plants fossil fuels power plants and wind power plants at all by because Edison generators use the field magnets to move the armature magnets and coils of copper wire and with inverters and transformers powerr dynamos to produce electricity with inverter and transformers to deliver high voltage AC power continuous peak power to the power lines without fuel or pollution.

Very good speech, but your equation lacks one thing. Look within for the answer. When there is a conglomerate, there is also consciousnesses. Your equation lacks thought and free will. Humans have consciousness, so may other conglomerates. The way something in space behaves may be the same way Humans behave. A black hole may be alive. A galaxy may be alive. The universe holds the largest neuro network where everything is connected to everything, even if we don't see the connection, it is there.

"The fundamental building blocks of nature are fluid like substances which a spread throughout the entire universe and ripple in strange and interesting ways." - That's exactly what Walter Russell taught one hundred years ago (except in his view, there is only one substance). Walter Russell gave a very detailed description of what causes the fluid to ripple the way that it does and how all physical phenomena (including the apparent manifestation of matter) follow from this energy dynamic. In light of current trends in physics, we ought to re-visit and re-consider his published works.

Hello,

Some points:
- you mentioned "start of time"
???
really?
That is somehow going to help us understand?
And there was time when there was no time? Or what?
...
you "don't quite understand "certain" parts of the equation" ???
..hmm, how is that than an equation?
...
and, somehow, it doesn't go off of my mind: "who wants everything - will have nothing and who wants nothing will have everything"
i.e. 0 and infinity are the same.

I am not a physicist but I have been wondering how come the elementary particles of the same kind have the same properties as if a high precision factory had manufactured them (by the way I am an engineer). I have been time and again searching for an answer to this question. Although I cannot claim that I have done an intensive research on this topic, this is the first time I hear a lecture that, I believe, explains the enigma. Those quantum fields tied up into little bundles of energy apparently make the particles become one of the possible kinds and have the same properties within their kind.
In my view, this is one of the key passages of this lecture: “There are fields that underlay everything, and what we think of it’s particles aren’t really particles at all – they’re waves of these fields tied up into little bundles of energy…. There are no particles in the world. The basic fundamental building blocks of our universe are these fluid-like substances that we call fields.”

Dr. Tong got everything wrong. Nature's way is to simplify. He started with classical periodic table and ends up with some sort of table which is not periodic in it's proprty, still he compared them. He can have 12 fileds and 13 forces but if he can not control them to synthesize a simple molecule and contribute in our life or realization what the classical periodic table does, then it is useless to stand before the table where great Farady lectured. Sooner he understands it is better for Royal Society.

Hmm? Logic tells me.... “To move forward Scientists should develop the equation that ‘Flatten’ the ‘Wave Fields’.... Relating the Compressing of 0 and 1.. Infinity and Unlimited To ‘1’ of Unlimited. That’s my take on this lecture, and, unfortunately, of course as of today the lecture appears obsoleted!?

Ri videos are great. I follow them on a regular basis.
I just have something to say.
1) He mentioned just 1st generation of particles. There is 2nd gen. 3rd as well. He was talking about them at the very beginning of the field part. There are even much more particles, according to supersymmetry. This guy knows it well, but there are interested people watching.
2) you guys mention some names in a disrespectful way. Eg. the way Harry Cliff mentioned Paul Dirac. Even worse, the way David Tong speaks about "crazy Russian guy".
That guy's name is Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman and he is foremost one of the smartest people currently living on the Earth and he solved Poincare theorem. Grigori Perelman doesn't obey the social rules and expectations, but it doesn't make him crazy. He knows and understands much more then we do and ever will.
3) Channel is really really great.

41:18 The lecturer should mention what this equation is called. It's the action integral (functional) of the Lagrangian for all known forces. And maybe talk a little about the principle of least action, and what action is all about. For those who are interested... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(physics)
59:36 I lean towards a 4th possibility. Underlying the field concepts are the concepts of space and time. We have framed the problem of understanding all the fundamental particles and forces in terms of the spacial and time evolution of systems of particles and forces (Lagrangian). What if space and time are emergent properties of quantum systems, that only arise due to interactions of many particles (fermions and bosons)? Does it then make sense to describe everything with fields that assume an underlying space-time? Here's an analogy... Q: What is the pressure of a single molecule in a gas? A: It's a bad question. It doesn't make sense to talk about the pressure for a single molecule. I think modern physics might be locked into a similar type of situation, and theorists have pushed the math as far as it can go. We need a paradigm-shift. A crisis in physics can be the first step, we just have to be careful about becoming so confident in our ideas, that we invent new complicated mechanisms so we don't have to reexamine our fundamental assumptions. The Ptolemaic planetary model was pretty good at predicting positions of planets in the sky, but it was completely wrong physics.

Ha lol so that’s how motorcycles work 🤣🤣 mass interacts with magnetic fields spinning an objects multiples it’s mass.
Which gives it the ability to overpower the earths magnetic field.
So on the moon the rovers wheels should weigh 4 times as much as the wheel would have to be on earth because the magnetic field is weaker. An object with a large amount of mass has a higher interaction objects like light have a low mass and that’s why light is so fast .

Quantum mechanics makes a bit more sense when you realize everything is composed of fields. I honestly couldn't wrap my mind around it until I learned about quantum fields. I still don't understand, but I do understand just a bit better than when I thought everything was made of particles. Quantum entanglement, in particular, makes a kind of sense now. Same with superposition.
Heck, even qualia (I'm not talking about consciousness or subjective synaptic experience, but the phenomena of 'experiencing' consciousness from a non-interactive, one-way viewpoint from the bottom up) makes sense if you realize how everything is composed of fields. Instead of a thing that truly exists, qualia would be more a way of thinking about the universe. As if everything, including particle interactions (especially particle interactions, which are just field expressions intermingling), is a part of the same qualia.
We are the universe experiencing itself, indeed.
Note: I'm not talking about bullshit mumbo-jumbo where people think consciousness can affect reality. For some reason, that's how people interpret what I am saying. No, I am saying that fields themselves are 'experiencing' (note the quotations; experiencing is just the best word I can think of, not what is actually happening) through the interaction between themselves. As in, even a rock 'experiences'. But it's only when you have a brain where an actual first-person perspective materializes that isn't just experiencing energy exchange. So when your brain thinks, "I think, therefore I am", it's only a massive coincidence that the underlining fields are actually 'experiencing'. True qualia lacks the ability to affect its experience; it's only along for the ride.

min 22.02 : "and this is what the vacuum looks like. So what you are looking at here is a computer simulation ... a computer simulation of absolutely nothing, this is empty space ... even when the particles are taken out, the field still exists ... even when there is nothing else there, the field is constantly bubbling and fluctuating ... it's worth saying that this is a computer simulation ... so this is nothing"
LOL !!!
Imagine you are a computer programmer and your boss, David Tong gives you the task to simulate NOTHING. You cannot say NO, because you have a mortgage to pay, so you go ahead and write a program which shows on the screen exactly what he is showing us in this lecture.
The magic phrase "computer simulation" is often used to break the audience's line of thinking. You may wonder: " It must be true because it is a computer simulation ". You may think it is a simulation of reality. Well, IT IS NOT. Computers are doing EXACTLY what you tell them to do, exactly what you write in the code. So if you tell the computer that NOTHING looks like some bubbles, the computer will show some bubbles, better or worse, depending on your programming skills.

The solution to David Tong's problem is simple...
This video has over 1.5 million views and only 20K thumbs up...
yet, there are greatly more thumbs up than down.
Sometimes you have a problem so difficult you build an array of supercomputers to help solve them. Sometimes you have problem so difficult, you seed intelligent life across an array of planets to parallel process solutions to the problem, and while the problem is being worked out, you try not to disturb the outcome.
Thanks for the video.

27:27 you are wrong here .
Yeah, my knowledge is nothing compared to your but here you are lying electron don't really spin it's its intrinsic property that behaves like momentum caused by any spinning charge but the noticed forced in TG experiment tells it's impossible because for such Magnetic force ( or Deflected electron "spin ") An electron have to spin faster than light which is also impossible since electron have mass (but it also a wave so wave doesn't have mass so may be possible any way QP is really weird ). There is no physical analogy to explain Quantum Spin The same spin Named falsely.

Very nice history/physics talk up until the null result of the LHC. David seems to think at the heart of reality there is a continuous set of fields and places the wave-function above all consideration of any notion of the discrete nature of reality. He should read "Reality is not what it seems - the journey to quantum gravity" by Carlo Rovelli; in particular page 105 - "To view Schrodinger's wave as something real is to give it too much weight". Democritus was quoted by David briefly, but not his key insight into the discrete nature of reality! It is far more plausible that Dirac and others' view that space-time is granular at the smallest scale and that continuity is an emergent property as seen from our point of view. Zeno's paradox is solved not by summing over the infinitely small, rather by summing over a very very large number of very very small discrete units of space through time.

The idea that our reality is "built" by building blocks is wrong. It is a result of our tendency to separate and classify matter(s) in order to survive as humans. We try to subdivide our continuous world into discrete objects and then we classify them into different categories. But eventually, we are starting to see that our reality is not discrete but continuous. So, the more subdivision of matter we conduct, the more continuous we find them to behave. At the same time, we believe that space-time is a continuum and our measurement of these fundamental concepts should also be continuous and yet we find that many phenomena are discrete, not continuous. What's wrong? Obviously, all matter and phenomena have both "discrete" and "continuity" properties, it depends on how we use our imagination to "separate" and "classify"!

To David Tong ! Maybe David Tong can clarify a question nobody has replied to. Here it is: Assuming this is right: please explain this: At the pre-big bang moment all the four forces are combined into a lawless super small point and the outcome of the big bang event is unpredictable; why were untold numbers of identical hydrogen atoms created i.e. condensed out, to fill the inflating "universe" ? Here we have a clear cause and effect case. But how can something unpredictable result in something uniform and universally complex like hydrogen atoms? Why not an outcome of a formless quantum soup of pure mass-less energy. Seems like there is a law in effect here. Cause and effect. To me the big bang and its event came from a pre-existing universe with a cause and effect predecessor!
If David Tong can clarify this, I would be eternally grateful! David Moses

If the standard model equation can explain every experiment ever done on earth, how is it that the LHC has failed to give us anything that we'd expect from this equation? This seems to be an inconsistent point of this talk, unless I just misinterpreted something.

The basic question is why does the universe exist at all? Why is there something rather than nothing?

To all of you saying, "If this guy were my professor I would be a scientist", I hate to spoil it, but you probably wouldn't. If not having the right instructor stopped you from being a scientist, then you probably are not meant to be one.

Seems really convenient, vacuum quantum fluctuations and what not. It's like making something up to complete a false equation, a hexagonal peg in a round hole. You guys are missing a huge part of understanding the nature of the cosmos but i think i'll keep it to myself and watch people talk about feilds with clumps of nothingness without cause impossibly stable and concentrated in spots of matter for some ridiculous reason rather than being dispersed evenly to nothing as it would actually be without some impossibly mysterious vaccuum fluctuations which can never be explained. And no i'm not religious.

he did say that the equation explains every single experiment in science (40:35)!!!
he meant just in physics or science in general?

I just want to throw this out there. Scripture says that in the beginning the spirit of God hovered over the surface of the deep. So the idea fluctuating and vibrating fluids being the fundamental part of reality is actually a bit older than you said it is.

In other words physicists have denied the existence of aether... and then realized they were wrong but called it quantum field.

Nice lecture! Bit too much of reductionist enthusiasm for my taste though. Why calling it "theory of everything"? It covers three of the four known fundamental forces in the universe. "Theory of almost all physical phenomena" would be more adequate...

So consciousness is probably also a field that can interact with the other fields giving rise to physical matter. We would then probably experience a physical reality based on our beliefs and intentions. Neo was a prophet! :)

I think we need to start calling:
'Fermions' = 'Matter Particles'
'Bosons' = 'Energy Packets'
..stop calling both/everything 'Particles'...it reinfornces the misconceptualistion..E=mc2 ('Equals' not 'Is')(and yes, even if in turn Matter is constituted from Energy [Packets]).

Quantum fields is simply a term used to replace the exact same and well known medium know as aether. Nothing new here, just interchanging terms to seem like they found something new.

We are comparisons, expansion & deduction as much, as tools. We're who determines any light particle emerge along anywhere to reach anywhere. We undulate hear together, forever, in a safe purpose in space, more beautiful every yesterday as history expand as does universe and everything changes beneath & including our noses. On the other hand, we have very low standards. Up there is a battering ram, of who help who are only in their reach, and who dangle in these peoples reaches. We're them, transmitted to us who we've not been a while now & now every yesterday, leashed, we're more always having been them, so more & more we think it's obvious to want to be like them like anyone? Rather let's be who to want to? One day we'll look back, and all you have been but the battering ram will be totalled. I guess, what you don't know won't hurt you. I host a rise in collective consciousness via ripple effect back of flailers, practically alone. So many of you haven't the imagination to think the deeper things to understand what anyone's telling you anymore & & we the men who draw comparisons, we're beating our heads against nothing left to know anymore. That will be a sad death. Take my work. I write fragments of truth. You like them no doubt. They look like quips for pitches.
Dear me 🙇🏼♀️.

@27:20 g = 2.0023193043617 (Magnetic Moment of Electron). This number g is a particular property of electron(e).
e is a 'particle' and it spins. e orbits like the earth orbits. e has an axis of spin. The axis of spin can be changed with a magnet it is when the axis of spin will slowly rotates which is called procession. The speed at which that axis of spin processes is indicated by the number g. It is a complete agreement of Theoretical Calculation and Experimental Measurements as seen nowhere else in any other branch of knowledge.
