I repeat as I do every time I watch a discussion headed by Brian Greene - He always keeps the topic flowing with his innate ability to sit back and let his guests talk about their particular knowledge of a subject (in their lingo) and then interpret it for all of us as if he were reading the morning newspaper over a cup of coffee. The best mediator you are ever going to find.

Some thoughts: 1. This may be the greatest panel discussion on physics that I have ever heard. 2. You can tell that Nima Arkani-Hamed has an incredible grasp of these issues because he has not only facts at his disposal, but a narrative involving those facts. 3. The distance between the quality of our science and the quality of our politics is at this moment, heartbreaking. 4. Brian Greene has shown once again how important it is that a discussion about theoretical physics be moderated by a theoretical physicist.

As Brian is saying early on, often the prediction or theory is made a long while before it is observed. At the mention of Einstein and the 1915/1919 bit, I chuckled; Einstein also put to paper the notion of a laser, the math and physics behind one. It took about 40 years more before the first actual laser was built.

Watched the entire talk, that was absolutely an amazing panel to listen to and learn from. Bravo!

I appreciate the professional views of scientists Monica and Joa. Fabulous! Being a civil engineer, I rather understood the building of colossal collider and was equally curious about the Higgs particle. I am happy that I have been to CERN in 2017. It made me easy to listen to your discussion. I cannot stop listening more and more to the dialogues moderated by Brian. Thank you so much.

I just loved this discussion! So well moderated by Brian, keeping everybody on track and giving us an understanding of the standard model onwards to supersymmetry possibilities. It's nearly the end of 2022 and now we have the news of Quantum tunneling with Quantum Computers and of last week, fusion! It's a great time to be alive. I wonder if in the future, my great grandkids will be able to investigate and measure subatomic particles with an at home educational kit?

8:48 Democritus isn't overcredited at all, because he fully deserves his credit. He reached this hypothesis by logic and rational arguments, which is a must if someone wants to be called a scientist. The "atomon" he perceived as the fundamental non-divisible particle that all matter consists of, is actually the quark. That he was this accurate thousands of years ago, should make us appreciate his mind's creativity and vision, and not minimize his contribution to science.

Nima Arkani-Hamed is possibly the closest thing we have today to Richard Feynman. Unlike Science popularisers such as Brian Green, Nima doesn't dumb things down using analogies. Nima's descriptions reveal a deep insight into the laws of nature.

Its always a treat to see Mr. Green. Mr. Arkani-Hamed , I heard him for the first time & dang this man is a genius.

could you imagine how drastically different life would be for us and every species near us if we understood reality as our bodies processed it rather than the limited realm of perception that we are in now

That was a Great Conversation. As a student I had seen Nima and Joseph in the documentary 'Elegant Universe' based on Brian's book. I had seen Monica and Nima in 'Particle fever' which was based on Higgs discovery.

Brian is such a genius.. He's a rare one

I believe the discussion of the initial rejection of Higgs' paper is revisionist history. The paper wasn't rejected because it was "too wild." It was rejected because it was the fashion among the physics community to describe perturbations of quantum fields as "particles" and Higgs' paper was only in terms of the new field. He was explicitly told that the paper had been rejected because he hadn't mentioned a particle, so he added a paragraph that mentioned a particle and resubmitted the paper, and it was then approved for publication. But strictly speaking, particles are unnecessary and are misleading mental baggage from the early days of physics, and Higgs knew that. Fields are all that's needed, so lets apply Occam's razor and stop talking about particles.

I disagree with that. Perhaps I'm wrong. But I have strong mathematical and a physical reason to believe that. Sure from a mathematical perspective if one develops a QFT (along the axioms) all one needs is the quantum fields. But: QFT is an incomplete theory. The objective basis of a collapse is not described. And that is a transition from a more field like behaviour to a more classical particle like behaviour what's missing. This is the reason most conservation laws like the ones for energy are distinguished by the stronger conservation laws of Casimir Operators (like spin, charge and rest mass of particles - at least if we ignore the cosmological constant). Because for example energy is only in the approximate dynamics conserved in the pure states (and only a fair game in the mixed state dynamics) but Casimir Operators are conserved overall even in the not approximate pure state dynamics. In QFT we work with one system of axioms. It turns out that it is not the most fundamental one (but the historical one and the mathematics is more familiar to physicists). And other axiom systems (especially the more natural formulations but mathematically more difficult to work with) do not need fields at all. From a mathematical perspective what the underlying principal is, are the particles (in QFT derived from fields). So fields are unphysical (one can get rid of them entirely) but particles are not. By deriving a concrete QFT model like the standard model, at first one has to derive the free QFTs. And here the notion of particles is key (not the notion of fields). Otherwise you will not get from first principles to the allowed possiblity of QFTs. And such a simple derivation is key by Ockham's razor. And even from a practical standpoint, we are using the wrong free particles at the moment in the standard model from the standpoint of cosmology (because the Poincaré group - from which we get the particles from - is not even a universal approximate symmetry). By correcting this it is not clear that a field-theoretic-interpretation is possible again.

Totally wrong. All experiments detects PARTICLES. it is the field that is the mathematical baggage and can be removed from the formalism.

@@tofu-munchingCoalition.ofChaos can i interpret this as particles are the more fundamental existence while fields are more of an emergent property that help us mathematically understand how particles interact with each other?

@@rayxu1163 I would essentially agree with that. You can at the moment always get rid of the fields if you like. But particle-like behaviour is an experimental fact you can not get rid of (even the name "quantum..." suggests that). At the moment QFTs are built by quantisation (2. quantisation) of classical field theories (which in turn came from a quantisation of classical particles). After the quantisation the fields are no longer states but observables which help to describe the state. Practically speaking is that many quantum particles (for example photons) behave in first approximation like classical fields ( *removing one layer of quantisation - the second quantisation* ). Looking more closely ( *removing both quantisations* ) a single quantum particle behaves like a classical particle in first approximation (for example electrons in classical electromagnetic fields - in this case we have not looked closely at the electromagnetic field, but looking more closely, like in the photoelectric effect, we conclude that the electromagnetic field is made out of photons). So the fields are emergent middle level phenomenons. Like we often think of matter as a continuous mass distribution instead of a large collection of atoms. But even in QFT the fields are not the states (real physical reality) but operators used to describe the states. At the moment we are not able to describe the quantum particles precisely. We know how quantum particles (approximately at least) behave at the quantum scale. And we know how a quantum particle behaves when interacting with a classical measurement device. But these two descriptions are incompatible at the moment. This is known as the measurement problem in quantum physics ("collapse of the wave function"). It is not resolved yet. One important (but not all) particle-like behaviour comes from this collapse of the wave function which is not worked out. I suspect that this (together with the practical derivation of QFTs from Lagrangians of classical fields) is the reasons people think that fields are more fundamental. But they are in my opinion wrong on a mathematical basis (how it came about from first principles) and ignore the precise physical underlying basis (states and collapse).

Poincaré-Birkhoff Theorem that’s a very interesting point of view. I always think of fields as being a “dual existence” (not physical reality existence) to the particle form of existence. I didn’t notice this until your comment mentioned it that the “particle” way of describing these little energy packets and the quantum fields way of describing them are actually more conflicting to think about than I realized. I am currently only doing mathematics as undergrad so I don’t think I can give a validated opinion on which one of the two is the more fundamental existence. The QFT if I remember correctly does suggest that fields are the underlying phenomenon and that they are more fundamental. But again as you argued the QFT is not a complete theory just yet so it can still go either way. That was still some excellent sharing nonetheless and I’m pretty sure different ideas is what will motivate people to dive even deeper into these questions.

This was one of the best talks ever! And I believe it is a good thing that things are not coming along exactly how we expect them cuz it could be that a true revolution is right around the corner!

...or not, but agree thats actually science and Exploration. Nothing wastes more in the end though than " playing it safe" and not try to disprove things until you find sonething.

I loved it we need people like this

From the beginning of time when we first started looking up to looking down on the earth we wanted a conclusive explanation of how we would be able to make a difference between the ages of our society and our society has become so important in making sure we strive for a better future.
