@smlanka4u 2 роки тому
@@moodyrick8503, 99% energy released in a supernova explosion are neutrinos. Only 1% is light, etc. And it starts a few hours before (around 2 hours before) the supernova explosion. So that shows a connection with gravity and neutrinos. And gravity can be the hidden force that is coming out from the stars making the gravity and making a small and compressed object like a small black hole or a neutron star after the explosion. And neutrinos can go through any object making gravity and anti gravity showing only a very weak gravitational force. If nearby two massive objects are emiting neutrinos they will bend the path of neutrinos causing to become the gravity stronger, and come closer faster.

The only thing I wish it was different about this was that it was a little bit less specifically catered to what all of the academic scientists refuse to shy away from, even though their theories haven't worked for years. For real, though, even according to several physicist I've talked to, gravity is literally not even a force, it's just an effect that comes from massive object warping space time, like a marble in a bucket of Jell-O. This pushing out of the massive objects onto space-time causes it to compress, which causes it to have an equal and opposite reaction force, so depending on what frame of reference you feel most identified with, either way gives you the exact same results, with no graviton that has not, and will not ever be found, it explains why it's so much weaker, because, like space-time, gravity is an emergent property of the physical manifestation of the universe, and this bending of space-time also very easily and neatly describes both gravitational lensing and time dilation, as the space-time literally works like a lens, and the warping of space-time with in gravitational fields causes extra variables to have to be accounted for when the magnificent stroke of either entropy, or some underlying force that drives it, causes time to take forward and allows the wave functions of probability of the future to collapse into the various actualize states of the present moment. Extra computations locally means this takes more time than it takes someone else's local computation where there is less complexity to deal with, as reality very clearly will skimp on manifesting certain things if it doesn't need to, as evidenced by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the double slit experiment, and loads of other Quantum experimental data. The gravitational fields basically act as another set of eyes, causing wavefunction probabilities that would not have otherwise had to collapse to collapse into masses, so that they can properly interact with the gravitational field. If you're asking why, the best answer I think as to why is because if things did not go down this way, then randomly objects would stop interacting with massive objects, as they would simply continue being wave functions, which would keep massive conglomerations of matter, like stars and planets, from being able to form nearly as effectively, if at all. Basically, it happens this way because our universe is stable

35:10 - However protons are affected by gravity enough that tunning had been necessary in the LHC in order to compensate for soli-lunar tides, originally not predicted. So gravity keeps behaving as expected (even more so than some scientists actually expected) at such tiny scales. While quantum fanatics may have a theoretical objection to gravity being Einsteinially seamless at quantum distances, so far they have zero evidence for that, rather the opposite. Similarly the quantum hyper-sensible LIGO does not observe any anomaly on how gravity behaves at quantum scales, all the opposite. "Quantum gravity" remains purely theoretical, while gravitational effects even at the quantum scale remain fact for as much as can be measured.

As I understand it, gravity is a fundamental variation of time that results from concentrations of mass/energy. The gradient of this variation resulting in the differing paths through spacetime. Gravity is not necessarily a "force" but instead is a phenomenon that is the result of this variation of time proximate to concentrations of mass/energy. There have been many videos published that address this and this video, as good as it is, seems to ignore this apparently well established theory about the fundamental nature of gravity. Curvature of space/time especially time creates the phenomenon we experience as gravity. Particles such as gravitons or tachyons seem convenient for Star Trek, but unnecessary for the universe in which we live.
@chrissonofpear1384 2 роки тому
Hmm, could just about pave the way to a unified theory, on, if not everything, then some pretty critical things, if so. How it'd link to hyperbolic and holonomic entanglement, may be another matter, though.
@MediaBrainRecords 2 роки тому
I believe this to be correct. Gravity may be an emergent property like temperature. Ultimately gravity may be an emergent result of propagation of information through concentrated quantum fields. I believe the mathematical proof for this could come from Claude Shannon’s information theory and entropy. I wish I were a better mathematician so I could further explore this idea, but my hope is smarter people are exploring this now because I believe intuitively it makes sense.
@Alex06CoSonic 2 роки тому
@@MediaBrainRecords Correct me if I'm wrong, but to me, this talk of "entropy" seems to me like one looking at an abstract painting and misunderstanding it as "just a mess of colored goop". One can only make sense of it with enough frame reference and explanation from the artist, perhaps. Then, the emergent patterns in the painting become obvious, and it is no longer just "a chaotic mess of color". I see the idea of "Entropy" in the same way. We try to cut up the constantly reverbing waves into tiny bits of "3D Universe" at a specific point in time (like taking a picture of interlocking waves and calling THAT a "particle" like what we call muons, gluons, etc.) to try to understand them (while also forgetting the infinitesimally small parts lost during the cut, which reside in-between said slices), because we think the entire reverbing mess is "chaotic" or "entropic" and not understandable, but it's not. The exponential waves that keep hitting themselves and causing a "reverb" like soundwaves hitting the wall, then mixing with the same soundwave being emitted from the center once it's coming back towards the center, are the same thing as The Universe. The whole thing vibrating back and forth is causing emergent behavior we see as "The Universe", it's all organized, it's not "entropic". Entropy really seems to me like a misunderstanding. Am I correct, or am I going crazy? x)

From the video you might've got the impression that string theory (the whole multi-dimensional-brane-thing) is the cutting edge of modern theoretical physics, revealing the hidden truth beyond the veil of reality. This is not an accurate depiction. String theories are a collection of fascinating but speculative mathematical models that existed since 70s and didn't have a major advancement since the 90s. There's no single complete theory either, it's a bunch of different implementations, each trying to reconcile with this or that inconsistency. I wouldn't go as far as to call string theory useless, but any time its mentioned you have to keep in mind that it is speculation and there are no experimental indicators that it is a model of our reality.

I never studied physics because I thought I was too unintelligent to bother in high-school but these videos have taught me quite a bit and honestly, they're so relaxing right before bed too it helps melt away all the chaos happening on this planet. All of humanity's worst aspects could maybe be overcome if everyone thought about how much of a pale blue speck we truly are in the grand scheme of things and that we shouldn't take any of this life and planet for granted and that we truly are all made of the same atoms and confined to the same universal laws, no one is more or less valid than anyone else. Anyway, appreciate the content, thank you.

I find it interesting that there's now a theory going around that gravity isn't a specific force or doesn't come from a particle. Instead it could just be the drag space-time exerts on mass. As in the miniscule differences in experienced time felt by the "top" and "bottom" of an object causing what we experience as gravity.

Well, just because you know how a system works, doesn’t mean you can’t manipulate that system to get what you desire. If we 100% solved all of physics today, those scientists would still have curiosity, just in a different setting. We had the physics to land a rocket back on land far earlier than when we were actually landing rockets back on land, so the gap between the world that we know & the world that we can physically create is massive. We will go from learning about how everything works to massive multi-generational projects like a Dyson swarm or other things we have yet to realize.

What is knowledge? Does it exist naturally or have we defined it? The universe has no obligation to make sense to us, and is by all accounts infinite. Not just infinitely big or long, but infinitely small, and seeing is how we still can’t measure a perfect second or tell how long “now” is, infinitely short. I deeply love science and thinking about it in this way has only lead to my mind being blown away at how far we’ve come. But infinity will always be undefeated

Il never forget when I was sitting in class in collage and were going to start going over the nature of space and I suddenly thought I had made a breakthrough before class trying to find a way to make gravity make sense to a bio student. Space was just a fluid with inverse density properties. More mass (more energy) decreased density and space contracts and wrinkles (bends) as it contracts proportional to distance from center of energy. Less mass (less energy) made space expand aka dark energy. And my teacher said, "congratulations your about 100 years too late. You came up with relativity."

@A3onYT 2 роки тому
And an incredibly weak one at that. In physics forces require force carriers, and quantum theory has successfully explained every other force of nature, namely by identifying key particles that transmit the force at quantum level. The other three laws of physics follow quantum rules, so it makes sense that gravity must as well. Ironically, Einstein disliked the idea profoundly, but said "quantum theory is very worthy of regard". Although relativity and quantum theory are incompatible, physicists have come up with a mathematically consistent solution, that is by replacing particles with strings. String theories are essentially quantum theories of gravity, and implement the idea of the graviton, a force carrier of gravity so miniscule that it is doubtful it could ever be detected with any current physical detector. Thus it still remains theoretical, as did gravitational waves until they were discovered only a few years ago.

It is easy for magnets (which are polarized matter) to be attracted to magnets via field effects, but not masses to other masses via the same principle? Masses must warp space and time to effectively pull other masses closer? There might be something fundamental missing?

@merlepatterson 2 роки тому
@@Nimish204 OK, so if gravity isn't a force, but can warp space & time as is claimed, then what is the mechanism since space and time have no properties of matter themselves? Yet, if matter comes near to other matter in space/time, then they are attracted merely because of the effects warped space? It's only my opinion, but I think something is fundamentally missing in theoretical physics regarding gravity. And people have been on the train so long, they can't go back home. There are other plausible explanations for the Eddington observations and the apparent disparity in clocks outside of the GR approach. Of course, I'm a heretic for saying so, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Why do we never hear of universal deep space light refraction events based upon gases and temperature variations? Why is it always "gravitational lensing" as the causal factor?

Yes but is gravity a force? Since 1915, when Albert Einstein published his paper on general relativity, we all know the answer: Gravity is not. Even as the narrator explains this nature of gravity he continues calling it a force. Unfortunately, this muddles up the whole story of this video.
@ritemolawbks8012 2 роки тому
Gravity is not a "force" in General Relativity ("GR") because its existence is relative to the observer. Outside of GR, you can call gravity anything your want. It doesn't matter whether it's gradational acceleration, gravitational energy, gravitational force, gravitational interaction, gravitational time dilation (curved time), or curvature of spacetime. It's just a terminology.
