Should we pursue crazy ideas in physics, or should we stay within the boundaries of what is acceptable and on which there is already at least a minimum consensus in society? I had the pleasure of moderating a discussion between Eric Weinstein and Dan Green on this topic. Enjoy!

Any idea that can be falsified

None. Best ideas are very old, much older than string theory and other nonsense.

That there's this other side of space and time that doesn't obey laws of physics we understand. It defines it. Really an old idea but still an undiscovered country. I get how many would think that is neither here nor there, honestly. After all it isn't what you know it is what you can do or produce. Being foolish would be better than ignorant.

I kind of like Peter Woits latest paper "Spacetime is right handed". He uses spinors and a lot of math some of which is over my head to get chiral formulations of Yang-Mills and general relativity actions. I would love for you to have him on and talk about these ideas.

SPIRAL = Hyper-dense proto galactic formation preceded hyper cosmic inflation expansion. . (SPI for Stars Preceded Inflation). RAL - cosmological Redshift Attests to that Light (as from SPI).
Awe man I thought this was a new full length sit down :(
This video came on April fools day,so I took it as a joke.
Crazy ideas is what we have been following for 6 decades now. I suggest we do the sound thing for once. And start were we stopped 6 decades ago. All we need to do is to go back to Einstein’s special relativity. And this time include its the dual nemesis quadrant of energy and mass opposite to its space and time quadrant. If you speed, you contract frontal spacetime (We literally lose space and time) but we gain it back in the form of the speeding object energy (inversed space) and mass (inverse time). This is enough to get the fundament of physics. And mind you, the notion that motion changes the grid and the grid in turn changes the object to an equal extend is thousands of years old. Good old Newton must have read it but it was too early to correctly formulate it into ‘a Law’. Einstein either missed it or just put us on the wrong track.
4:09 "Now, my claim is, is is that..." I definitely would have added at least two more "is"es just to be on the safe side.
There are extensions here to innovation / invention and (perhaps) LLMs. Putting a bunch of good engineers and scientists on a team with all sorts of innovation “tools” (trying to run them up from 10 to 11) is not nearly as productive (or productive at all in a real sense) as finding the singular innovators / inventors (genius or just with a consistent knack) and supporting them and letting them do their thing. Likewise, I hypothesize that this will also be so with LLMs, as they will only blend good science (and mediocre, but that is another issue of dumbing down), and not be able to make true leaps.
I'm interested if they hypothesis that physics is currently dumbed down [at the cutting edges] because of the inability to do anything good with breakthroughs? If war has been the driver, WW2 taught us we don't want to do that again.
What do the Twistors of Roger Penrose and the Hopf Fibrations of Eric Weinstein and the "Belt Trick" of Paul Dirac have in common? In Spinors it takes two complete turns to get down the "rabbit hole" (Alpha Funnel 3D--->4D) to produce one twist cycle (1 Quantum unit). Can both Matter and Energy be described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature? (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Mass= 1/Length, with each twist cycle of the 4D Hypertube proportional to Planck’s Constant. In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137. 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) If quarks have not been isolated and gluons have not been isolated, how do we know they are not parts of the same thing? The tentacles of an octopus and the body of an octopus are parts of the same creature.
here they are, all three talking about deep field science but wallowing in beliefs. Do you belief ! what is this some religious ideological survey ??
Brian, please try to get Smolin back & check out the audio from his part. Would be really nice to hear him more clearly(don’t have the best equipment here, but still..). Thanks 🙏
Let's turn it up to 11. Been seeing 11 11 alot hmm. Lol great rerun Doc. Peace ✌️ 😎.
Eric is the Greatest! Physics needs more like him to push the boundaries forward

he hasnt worked in the field since early 90s. he doesnt do any research or publish any papers. he is just saying that everyone else are wrong.

Crazy ideas? Here's one...Vacuum decay is the guy pulling the plug on the computer running our simulated universe.
Eric always has some bone to pick and I just never know what it’s about
How about the crazy idea there's only 2, superimposed particle fields, +ve and -ve, instead of one for each (anti) particle type, that constitute all matter. Should allow multiple wave and standing field warp modes. Should allow field to turn to free particles and back again... .. POLECTRON FIELD: cell: a + & a - particle split by Full Split Energy as a positron+ & electron-. Bonds to 12 neighbours MASS: p+ / e- = half cell (& whole cell as +-+ / -+-)? Polarises field as + & - shells. SPIN: centre polarisation axis STRONG GRAVITY: field tries to stay balanced so inwardly repels mass. Strong mass multiplier traps cells in particles? DARK MATTER/ENERGY: mass gains/voids lose charge (goo/glue). Galactic gradients. LOCAL TIME: slowed by velocity/gravity BIG BANG: 2 p+ oppositely hit 1 e- (more than 2 e- hit 1 p+)? Huge black hole exploded? Result was hydrogen plasma soup POSITRONIUM: e+p. Muon: ep_e. Proton: pep. Neutron: pep_e. Tau: epep_e. Neutron mass is halfway between muon and tau ANTIMATTER: 1,2 e_p pairs annihilate. 3: proton+anti proton or muon+anti muon. 4: neutron+anti neutron. 5: tau+anti tau WEAK FORCE: unstable atoms form and annihilate e_p pairs. BETA- DECAY: pep_e => pep e. BETA+: pep + new e_p => pep_e p NUCLEAR FORCE: neutron electrons bond to protons. ENTANGLEMENT: correlation broken by interaction? Physical link? BLACK HOLE: atoms cut into neutrons fused as higher mass tau cores (epep). Field rotates. Core annihilates: ep => cell? PHOTON: field cell polarisation and/or lateral movement wave. NEUTRINO: longitudinal wave, cell moves forward-back? DOUBLE SLIT: photon/particle field warps diffract and interfere, guiding the core. Detectors interfere with guides INERTIA: energy lost moving through the field is returned as the field rebalances behind with a kick straight on ENTROPY: simplicity. Closed system complexity reduces over time. Uniformly (dis)ordered (hot)/cold field is simplest
Yes! 😊❤️🌹🙏🏽
I would be at the top of the list. The set of experiences put me up there. Without the credits Too bad, so Sad. LOL
I didn't and don't like Jeff Beck's playing. Just sayin. Neutrinos are interesting to me because in my untutored thinking they are on the edge of matter and space. Matter being dense space. Joe Public speaking here.

You don't have to enjoy JB's playing at all, but he was a pioneer and legend in electric guitar music. When you are the guitar players guitar player then there's nothing else to say. Cheers
Eric Weinstein as click bait, will get me to click, but if it’s just more recycled recyclables from this channel, I will be unsubscribed in a few minutes.
Just as a side-note: I hate april fool's day in the age of the internet.

How can anyone assume they know the rules of Physics when we are only aware of 8% of what is out there...

Nobody in their right minds is assuming anything like that.

You think we know “8%” of what is out there? If we could even be aware of our entire observable universe we may still only know a small fraction of everything.
I’ve expected some EW content on 4/1 😄
I'm glad Eric brought up Baryon. He was my favorite Bee Gee.
It's so easy to do nothing but pick apart others ideas. He can't continue dining out on "Geometric Unity" if he's incapable of communicating his ideas for others! 😂

I know nothing about physics but it does seem that Eric is always just outraged that someone from academics or institution’s aren’t just solving everything already lol. Like if they were all just brave enough the science would be settled already. I might just be dumb though tehee

Then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of his grievances. He's trying to get them to stop treating their ideas as dogma. He's not saying they should have these things solved, but that they should get back on track in at least going the right direction.
Hello from Kazakhstan. The Dark Universe requires a lot of money from the budget: an experiment that sheds new light on the Universe will help save costs. We can create an educational and practical device and practically master Einstein’s theories of relativity or obtain, for example, new physics: Postulate 1. Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta. Postulate 2. The gravitational field controls the frequency and speed of light in a vacuum. This is determined experimentally using a hybrid fiber optic gyroscope (based on Michelson's experiment 1881-2024). Using a hybrid fiber optic gyroscope, the straight-line speed of vehicles can be measured.

You want to progress in science... give up on spacetime and relative theory... these two are both wrong... time does not get influenced by movement or gravity... And I do know that it is being used by to correct GPS satellites... but there is no time dilation only difference from one point of view... If you use multiple point of views... you will see that time does not change between observers... So even if you would sit in the middle of a black hole... time ticks exact the same as someone who would be on earth...

incorrect
To be a wet blanket, physics is incredibly useful, but on the road we are on, perhaps an alien culture can comb through our ruins and discover that we dabbled in science as a curiosity.
Nobody asked you of anything
Simple question. Does Eric believe space is fundamentally equivalent to time? And energy to mass? If the answer is yes, then no amount of math can help you to ever undo these incorrect base assumptions. It is the core of our stagnation for 100 years…physcis is all about motion. If we dont correctly see the consequences of motion on the grid and vice versa, we have only math to describe what we see, but no physical insight to understand why. Its not about math in the end. But math is all we discuss… Or, just for fun sake; Brian could you ask any guest you get on, to explain the twin paradox from special relativity? You won't believe how diverse the answers are and how evasive people get trying to answer this basic phenomenon. Even Einstein wobbled. You won't find a straight forward answer on Wikipedia either. If we don't get these basic concepts right of what motion does to a grid, or even deny there is local grid relative to move to in the first place, then what are we doing ?
Debate Timothy Nguyen Eric! Or you’re a charlatan.

Yes the best, if he believes to be right. Edward witten, Stephen Wolfram(he has and was really interesting to listen), Ethan Siegel to name few i think would beneficial to overall situation in what comes to this topic.
