Bro that’s what I’m saying !!!

It makes perfect sense; just folks get confused on the meaning of "fundamental" within this context. "Not fundamental" doesn't mean "not real", it means "emergently real". In the same way as a bird isn't a flock of birds, and a cell isn't a human; but if you put enough of them together in the right way, you get this new thing which while not fundamental to its individual parts, is emergently real to its collective parts.

You're exactly right brother, you need a large mass to bend and warp the spacetime manifold to create this pit or well of attraction for objects to fall into, which is what we call gravity.. it is "emergent" as you say, without significant mass you don't have much gravitational force, it's so weak because it requires so much mass to really have any effect compared to the other forces.. it's kind of a pseudo force, just a result of the warping of spacetime

It also isn't a new idea, it's been a feature of different areas of theoretical physics for decades to consider gravity to be emergent. Terrence Howard, on the other hand, is part of the electric universe cult, which is just the most incoherently stupid bunch of nonsense ever.

Only then do they become what we know as water and start to behave as we know water to behave. Another way to think of it is something like cars are made out of metal, but metal isn’t a car. It’s not until you have the right amounts of the right kinds of metal (and plastic and rubber and glass etc.) put together in the right way that it becomes a car. Or if you’ve ever seen one of those videos of a murmuration of starlings - that doesn’t happen with one single starling. It only happens when you have lots of starlings flying together. Therefore, starling murmurations are not a “fundamental force” of starlings because on the smaller scale of one starling, they don’t exist and can’t exist.

Pretty interesting analogy. Like saying one water molecule is not “wet.” I don’t know enough to say how accurate another physicist would say the analogy is, but I can wrap my head around it. But I suspect there are equations that can describe wetness in fluid dynamics or whatever the field is called. It’s just fascinating to speculate that what we call gravity has the same relationship between describing it in the aggregate versus describing it at the tiniest possible scales.

Singularities just occur when you apply the wrong type to a problem. They are a signal from reality telling you that you can't use this equation to describe this situation. You can't use fluid dynamics to describe a problem involving relativist phenomenon, such as the motions of a liquid at ultra high speed. That's what it means to say that 'the math breaks down.' The assumptions that the equations have built in no longer apply. General relativity is a great mathematical framework for a certain domain of problems, but can't be applied indiscriminately. The existence of singularities means we need a more sophisticated notion of what is going on.

Why did I know this a long long time ago. I can’t be the only one.

if quantum is behaving at that level, fractal reality or quarks , either or, then it would be apparent to me that the mystery still be unsolved. Rather more fundamentally I would say its not only a consequence, like water, rather a principle that gravity is still a possibility that energy can come together to create gravity as a structured energy or wave rather than gravity as a consequence of the whole of reality. Is it a source or a consequence? I couldnt imagine for example gravity being a particle or a wave like neutrons or quarks, however at that level I have to ask absolutely absurd questions that are which not so absurd. If I am to create certain rules. I have special interest in wondering if gravity is a thing, or a wave rather than a consequence.

Generally spealing, the 10th house follows the 9th, therefore without "structure" there will be no ways to organise materials to manifest weight.

It’s an emergent property created by the incommensurability of the atoms. A magnetic field emerges from commensurate atoms.

So if we can disrupt the field or process of it's interaction with itself then we can manipulate it at will and discover ftl travel

There is some kind of network for communication going on that we can’t sense. Living cells do the same.

The 'rationalizations' make a lot of sense. Would this imply there is no photon "force carrier" for gravity? If so, why would gravity waves 'appear' to travel "at the speed of light"? Coincidence?

The leading edge idea that blows my mind is that quantum entanglements are the threads that make up the fabric of spacetime.

Gravity is love, and love is gravity....

If you want to think about it a certain way, gravity is a collective van der Waals force, as opposed to an individual van der Waals force. Quanta of van der Waals forces, if you will, although renaming "gravity" to "distributed van der Waals force" isn't as etymologically satisfying.

Yay for having her on.

I hypothesized this after learning basic college chemistry. It's a wonder to me how this is even a debate anymore. You think someone would have proved it with mathematics. A vast accumulation of charged particles should then result in forces similar to gravity. Same way intermolecular forces work.

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice on StarTalk doing so much for creativity, and opening up the dialog in fascinating ways, also mention having super guests!

Time is emergent. Gravity is emergent.

The Higgs Field is the atmosphere of Space. Galaxies and their stellar bodies are turbulently swirling, moving through this atmosphere of space at several million miles per hour. There is turbulent disruption of the Higgs Field, with vast compression increasing around all massive bodies. This is the dynamic reality of the universe. "Curved Space" is a photographic snapshot of the compressing of Higgs Field, frozen in time, just as a photo of an ocean wave looks like a solid ramp. But no curvature. The Higgs Field is forced into each body, interacting (colliding) with the quantum fields of the stellar objects, pushing them toward the center of mass (but the mass of objects resist each other, giving the "gravity" appearance). Only light waves seem not to collide with the Higgs Field, but it does curve as it passes through the collapsing density of the Higgs Field around massive objects. No gravity. No curved space/time. All material motion is from collision, of matter, of fields, etc.

not sure why his mind is blown by this information. This makes a lot of sense, especially how Dr. Levin explains it, but it's something that has been talked about for a long time.

This is actually going to be a prevailing paradigm for the explanation of reality. The analogy she gives of a pointillism painting is exactly how the hologram of our 3D reality works. At a micro level, nothing actually exists and there is no meaning. But at a macro level, it’s all there to make meaning from in our consciousness.

Time also not fundamental, depends on scale and distance. Perhaps this is also a quantum additive emergent property.

Well, we knew this from a long time ago, didn't we? that the every-day laws of physics that we're all familiar with don't actually work the same way or at all at the quantum level. Though now that she has worded it this way, it does make a lot of sense.

Right after the episode on jre is crazy to me lol.
