Newton was right about kinetic energy. Total KE is not equal to 1/2mv^2. Newton proved KE is mv^2, just like E = mc^2. Einstein was no genius when it came to KE. Newton had it right all the time. But half the energy goes into the angular momentum of the Bożeons, the Elementary Particle of the EM Field, the electromagnetic dipoles of EM Fields, spin faster around in the derived particle like a photon.

But would it be that idiotic if such a unified field theory provided insights into our questions about black holes and dark matter and energy? If Dr. Poopstick's unified theory reveals working understanding of the universe that leads to applications that propels to at least the K1 or K2 civilization, maybe it wouldn't be the same type of dumb idiocracy. Yet if what such a unified field theory reveals is those things behave idiotically up to and including providing no possible useful application to advance technology.

If I remember correctly, string theory predicts that gravity is the only force being diluted in the extra dimensions. This has something to do with gravitons being closed strings (like rubber bands) and other force-carrying particles being open strings (like guitar strings) attached to the large 3-space(time) from their ends. The gravitons thus can move freely in these extra dimensions, while other particles only vibrate in them. EDIT: Let me add a disclaimer: I'm not very familiar with string theory, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

According to his past video (How to Detect Extra Dimensions) which Matt references at 4:33, the reason that physicists don't think extra dimensions affect electromagnetism is that it is not weak among the 4 fundamental forces. Electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force are much stronger than gravity (kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXyN2ZivgLWfobg.html) . So they are trying to find a reason to explain that relative weakness by testing whether additional dimensions are sapping the force of gravity as it moves through them in addition to our existing 3 spatial dimensions and causing that relative weakness.

Would that increase the apparent amount of dark matter, since it implies gravity is less influential on cosmic scales? Either way, I am confused and/or intrigued lol

This reminds me of an idea I once had that gravity wasn't a force itself, but only the probability of a particle being close enough that the strong force would act upon it.

Same here. Gravity is a region that accepts motion due to force. If not, the force would not produce motion. The North ferromagnetic pole would repel another North and attract the South pole. The positive terminal would drain current only to the respective negative terminal of the same system. And a type of graviton would be the region where linear oscillatory force gets displaced into.

Tho most people don't think of this way, whenever we sense anything (touch, taste, sight, etc.) we are directly interacting with the electromagnetic forces. All atoms and everything atoms do (besides nuclear decay) are interactions of the electromagnetic force. So, we don't think of ourselves as magnets, but we are, in fact, comprised of trillions of little balls of electromagnetism.

Thank you. I had a great space listening to you.

For some time now, I’ve (loosely/intuitively) hypothesized that gravity is the only one of the forces that is “dispersed” across “all” of the dimensions… while the other forces, only really “interact with” our four known dimensions. Due to this, what we refer to as “dark” (matter and/or energy), is simply “dark” because it exists within those other dimensions which we are (at present) still unable to perceive. Interesting to hear a very similar concept mentioned in this video. I’m excited to hear more in the future, regarding development of this idea, what we will learn, how this “pans out”, etc.

Sounds good... until you do a few experiments and then it completely collapses. :-)

Thinking about the Casimir effect. If two metal plates “exclude” the quantum vacuum. Then what effect does a planets worth of mass do? Doesn’t mass also exclude the quantum field? So why isn’t gravity the result of a quantum vaccuum being compressed by things with mass?

I was thinking about this: "I know there is probably reason why this idea is not the case but HERE IT IS anyway: What if gravity originates in these small dimensions = pulling mass "in" / "around the point" .. like black hole but in our dimensions it is just pulling force without "event horizon" because it is not in our dimensions. Now, if every particle works like this, of course the more you go from the centre of mass, the weaker it is but since it is "pulled by force" does not it mean these "islands" of mass (and gravity) in space are just pulling itself to its "core" = other dimensions = basically like a black hole which STRETCHES the space for each of them. That is why space is accelarating all the galaxies which can pull each other will stick and the space between these islands of gravity will further with added space and time "create" force whcih basically stretches them apart (because of bending space in their region) ...and I think the accelaration is not even equal across the universe so this may be the case. I would check for any corralation in this (amount of gravity within region of space vs. expansion of space in that direction with all the mass along the trajectory of the observer) ... just put this all on comparison for the effects of what we see and call dark energy" .. can you hit me up on gmail ? Would like to talk about your view and probably explain it in more detail :/ .. Idk much about the concepts so please correct me :D

It's an interesting idea, and I had to think about it for a bit, but I don't think it would work. This wouldn't predict a force proportional to mass, but rather determined primarily by surface area. Also, plates of equal mass don't exhibit the same Casimir effect if they are made from different materials. The plates must be conductive for the effect to be observable. So glass plates and copper plates, which experience identical gravitational forces, would experience different forces from the Casimir effect. A compressive force *might* make sense for e.g. a planet holding itself together, but why then is the earth attracted to the sun? The Casimir effect only appears when things are extremely close together. At even an inch apart the effect is negligible. Certainly at 90 million miles it wouldn't do much.

I've always thought of the curvature of spacetime caused by gravity to be in an extra dimension, but not a regular spatial one, more like an extra-spatial dimension.

You're wrong though. Gravity bends the 4-dimensional space-time you're living in.

Hey guys. Just dropped by to tell you the amazing content you guys produce... Great story teller to illustrate the realms of reality.

Watching this, I really appreciated the elaboration that the inverse square law "scales" as we reduce or increase the dimensions. While not a full explanation, I thought that a nice way to describe the intuition behind this change in "power law" is that the R is in fact, an element of a single particular dimension - the first! So it may well appear that the law itself changes *in reference* to that "linear" distance R. The theory and evidence remains the same - just a way to think about it, like dragging a linear function up or down.

It seems a lot more 'natural' that there would be fractal (inter)dimensions at varying scales, rather than the very manmade idea of 8 tidy dimensions in string theory or the like.

What if every “dimension” in string theory referred to a different conserved quantity at every point in spacetime (for example, an “energy” space, momentum space, a quantum information space, etc.) On a less “Facebook comment on a fail-tier pop-sci blog” note, how are dimensions defined on this level?

@ericvilas

you're actually right about that, sort of - movement along the 4 "extended" dimensions is related to conservation of momentum and energy (space and time respectively), and the original Kaluza-Klein theory essentially just did the same for electric charge - it had one extra dimension where movement around that new dimension would be related to conservation of charge. Quantum information seems to be another thing entirely, I think. Don't know enough about the subject tho...

Well, there's a certain aspect of this that has to be useful, since the Pauli exclusion principle and the existence of neutron stara shows that "momentum space" is a "real" thing, allowing multiple fermions to instantaneously occupy the same spatial location (distribution? absolute locations and fermions don't exactly work well together), as long as they have different coordinates in momenum space. Given that momentum is the fourier transform of position (in terms of the wave function), momentum is conserved under spatial translation symmetry, and energy and time seem to have a similar gauge symmetry/conservation, I'd expect that time and energy have some similar Fourier transform relationship. Likewise, multiplying momentum by velocity gives units of energy, while multiplying duration/time by velocity gives units of displacement/position. I wonder if those momentum/energy dimensions are "stretchy", expanding as necessary to keep track of all the particles, changing how gravity behaves in highly populated space.

The term information is only useful to physicists. The things that happen, happen whether we isolate and label them or not. So, to say that information has a dimension would be meta-physical, in the mind. Compartmentalization, it could actually be more of a definition problem than an observation problem. Words and shared language fail to be as divisible as the natural world. A lack of information...so to speak.

Woah, back when I was still at the university, I remember coding a simulation of gravity and I used newton's law, but the simulation was 2D, and objects were attracting each other extremely fast, and I would see extrange behaviors like planets orbiting near one another, but escaping with greater speed than their original speed, but when I got rid of the square, the simulation seemed more correct, and I never understood why until now.

Brilliant video. I hope you don't mind i will show my students (CIE A levels) some sections as next month we need to go through the section of gravity. Also it is always a challenge to get students believe that we don't yet fully know everything and are still learning. Your explanation or the R squared inverse is brilliant with the graphics as well as the way you present the method of determining the G constant so long ago. Thank you fellow Aussie and PBS.

His explanation for the inverse R squared makes sense, but I don't get why that would scale up to other higher dimensions when we can't measure any as it is and we don't know what the geometry of extra-dimensional gravity waves if they even exist.

It's frustrated me since seeing "How to Detect Extra Dimensions" I don't see how we would be able to use the gravity wave to discount dimensions beyond our 3 physical dimension. First, I'm guessing we are assuming that the gravity waves originated at a single point in any dimension, but I don't know how we would know that's true without being able to make measurements in any extra dimensions which is a bit of a causal loop (why would we need to prove extra dimensions if we can already measure them). Second, there seems to be an assumption that the proportionality of gravity to radius would be measurable in an extra dimension without a measure in that dimension (see previous causal loop). As my attempt for an explanation, when looking at your arrow example of dispersion of gravitational force in three-dimensions the arrows spread in each direction equally, therefore, the arrows in any two-dimensional "slice" of the three-dimensional diagram will still only spread at a rate proportional to the radius regardless of being in a three-dimensional model. Likewise, the arrows spread in four or more dimensions would still spread at a radius squared rate without an extradimensional measurement. More simply, the circumference of a growing sphere at any single fixed dimension will grow proportionately to the radius, and the same should apply regardless of how many dimensions we apply (i.e. the change in circumference of an n-dimensional sphere will be proportional to the change in the radius) and as we go up in dimensions this will still hold true (ie for growing sphere an N-dimensional sphere the change in any [N-x]-dimensional measurement will be proportional to the change of the radius to [N-x] power)

​@@vickyprabhat a real life way to show this would be to blow a balloon up a little then draw a circle around it not necessarily around the center. Continue to blow up the balloon, what happens to the circumference of the circle? It goes up proportional to the radius (C~r) because it is a 2d measurement, but the surface area goes up proportional to the square of the radius (A~r^2) because it is a 3d measurement. Shouldn't the same happen as more dimensions are added?

This video just casually destroyed what I thought I understood about different dimensions. I am very interested in learning more about how we have made Cavindish's experiment more sensitive aside from placing it in a vacuum and temperature controls. I am more curious about the construction of the mechanism itself.
