@@brocq18 wrote, _"I mean that's relative. A highly intelligent person could say he dumbed it down."_ Actually, a highly intelligent person wouldn't say such a thing. Here's why: It's generally agreed that 3 heuristics for effective communication are: 1. Know your content; 2. Know your audience; 3. Tailor the content (i.e., 'encode the message') for maximal comprehension by the intended audience. From this we understand that presenting quantum physics at a TEDx talk is 'tailored to the audience' of practical necessity. Were he to present this at a conference for quantum physicists, it would be tailored (encoded) appropriately. Highly intelligent people understand this practical necessity of encoding for the intended audience -- they likely wouldn't find any value in referring to such encoding considerations in a disparaging manner ('dumbing it down'). Such language is less about being 'highly intelligent' than it is about one's ego posturing superiority. Our word choices matter much more than we may imagine. They also may reveal things to others that we ourselves may not be consciously aware of yet that happen to be true, e.g., egoic posturing. And, when invited to consider such subtlety, even the tendency to minimize its importance may suggest egoic self-protection mechanisms, and this may be regardless whether such mechanisms are conscious or subconscious.

Time and space are not interchangeable the way energy and matter are. Time is not a spatial dimension. Time is simply that which permits movement. Because movement means velocity, and because velocity is calculated as distance over time, time is required for matter to exist. There is no past "time" and no "future" time - those are not "places" you can visit. There is only ever now, forever.

Rethinking reality, I love it. Concepts that challenge normal perception are what raise the questions that change humanity.

We can not fully observe the universe so it is a singularity as far as we can prove, which means there is not pattern or formula that repeats! It is like studying the whole body! We are at the phalanges in knowledge predicting the whole system which is a body based off of very limited information!

Imagine pockets of 3 dimensional space interacting with each other as atoms do. From within the pocket of space (as we are), it seems as though there is a consistent measurement, a metre is always a metre. However, outside of the pockets, these lengths can be different, because although the pockets of space feel connected to us, there is actually space between them. Which is especially interesting when you think of how a solid object you can hold in your hand is actually a bunch of atoms influencing each other, a bunch of pool balls bouncing around at each other. Which is probably why the guy used a pool table for the initial example.

Well - they don't agree yet. But after interacting with a bunch of 'em, for no good reason. It took Einstein 30yrs to establish his general relativity. Without an ego problem and not much time and energy wasted on string- & m-theory and the standard model, (after intense study for almost 2yrs) I've come to the conclusion that QST is with 95-99% probability the real deal and Thad Roberts the next Einstein. It is even an extended ToE (Theory of everything) at that with huge implications on physics, astro-physics, philosophy and even religion... Occam's razor is in favor of QST about 9:1 against any other theory out there and none of them comes even close to explain so many mysteries so intuitively. - only two axioms required (space is quantized at the planck length and the vacuum behaves like a superfluid) - no dark matter required - no dark energy required - explains beautifully what is time?! - explains beautifully what is gravity?! - solution of the wave-particle "duality" (spoiler alert: it's ALWAYS a particle. Bohmian mechanics will replace quantum mechanics) - Heisenberg uncertainty principle explained - and eliminated with the higher resolution perspective of 11 dimensions - SIMPLE formula for ALL constants of nature based ONLY on the 5 Planck basic units, Pi and Zhe (Je) (new constant, pi measured over maximum curved space. Zhe = 0.08424543...) - provides an INTUITIVE way to think in 11 dimensions, even for lay persons! - removes the need for the esoteric and arbitrarily invented probability vector of qm which nobody can explain how and why it should collapse - I myself found a hypothesis, how QST could explain super conductivity - and finally: QST is so simple and intuitive, it will be falsified in no time, IF WRONG!

The suggestion of this model is that the vacuum of space as we know it is a quantum super-fluid or a two-phase fluid where the dispersed medium (black spheres of Planck diameter) and a continuous medium of nothing. It seems that motion of matter is described as movement through the black spheres, and quantum superposition through the nothing. Gravity is an increase in density of black spheres, dark matter is a solid phase of black spheres, and dark energy is the collision energy of black spheres. This is a simple and intuitive theory of everything.

That's because that's what they are. All theories are just our best approximations of how things work. We've gotten many of them to a point where we can't find any observable discrepancy between a given theory's predictions and measurable reality - and I guess at that point we can say it's a law of nature, a perfect theory, unquestionable truth - but many theories need refining or even complete replacement to get to that point. Perhaps with something like these ideas, I don't know. What I know is that we have a long way to go, but we're getting there faster than ever. And that's awesome.

Jan Babiuch-Hall just look at the history of gravity. Newton's laws worked perfectly until Einstein came along....a theory can make accurate prediction's and still be an incorrect picture of reality. what makes this QST interesting to me, is that it provides a great framework to re-imagine many of our existing theories that currently "work".

Definitely one of my favorite TED talks

A robot (that the character, Rick, endowed with sentience) had experienced an existential crisis. The robot was designed to pass butter. The robot, after initially passing butter, realized that he was specifically designed for that purpose alone. Nothing special about it. The robot, becoming aware of this, proceeds to have its own existential meltdown. This relates in many ways to people. Whether or not we are special, our purpose is, in many ways, as trivial as passing butter. Grow up, feel emotions, bear offspring, rinse and repeat. If the human race is truly only part of a much bigger physical supermanifestation, then we might as well just all be passing butter.

A good way to imagine the fundamental unit of space and the "super positions" part at 7:00 is like a yo-yo. It can spin and flip around its own 2 rotational dimensions while being pulled up laterally into a 3rd dimension by the string. A 4th dimension above is simply pulling all 3 dimensions below that in a new direction. What the Yo-yo experiences as movement in a new direction from the pull of the string is what we experience as time when the "quanta of space" moves through a super position. In other words, the "g-force" influencing the yo-yo's spinning and flipping is like our Future-ward and Past-ward directions.

Your talk has helped me move my thoughts...I had personally gotten to 5 dimension...with 'scale' and 'time'.

10:35, et seq. The 5 base units. (Well, actually basic physical quantities) • length - yes • mass - yes • time - yes • ampere - that's a particular unit of the quantity, "electric current" • temperature - no. This is not fundamental; it is expressible in terms of 3 of the previous ones; namely, it is energy per particle. Energy is a certain combination of mass, length, and time; number of particles is a pure number, & thus, dimensionless. So the list should be: The 4 basic physical quantities • length • mass • time • electric current (although actually, electric charge is a better fit here; more analogous to mass)

Who said anything about a voltmeter, or volts, for that matter? No electromagnetic quantities are needed to do this. Absolute temperature, T, is, in physical dimension terms, energy per particle in a substance. Energy = mass * length²/time² "per particle" means per counting number; thus, dimensionless; a pure number. So in the end, T ~ ML²/t² And that's what I mean by "casting it in terms of other quantities." 1 Kelvin = (some mathematical constant)*kg·m²/s² And that, in turn, casts its unit in the standardly-accepted units of those other quantities.

@tomszabo7350

7 жыл бұрын

ffggddss I was being a bit facetious with that example, but there was a reason .... to wit, you can obviously restate Planck temperature in values of energy using unity at the Planck scale, but you still need the Boltzmann constant to convert at the boundary of states (e.g. where entropy calculations become relevant in describing a system).

I didn't understand 80% of that, but I love it!

it is really among the most remarkable ideas that allows us to navigate deeper reality of universe from just the postulate of quantisation

I've been believing space is quantised for years. I never thought of it this thoroughly, but I just always thought it'd fix the paradox of time described by Zeno

Great presentation. There is a basic conundrum though. Are multiple dimensions just a way to render nature more "human brain friendly" or do they really exists? I have the intuition that adding dimensions simplify some explanations and make nature more discernible. But do they really exist, or are they just "understanding prostheses"?

@Drchef4ever

+Maurizio Bocchetta Adding more dimensions to our model of the universe is actually the opposite of "human brain friendly". They are not intuitive for brains that think in 3 spatial dimensions, and that is why physicists came to these conclusions through understanding phenomena conceptually through math. Although visualizations of higher dimensions can be useful, it is actually impossible for us to 'see' the many higher dimensions in a meaningful way. As far as I understand more dimensions make sense mathematically and provide predictions as to how the universe should work that have passed many experiments. The details of the geometry for the dimensions/how many exist is more debated than the existence of many dimensions.

Wow, mind blowing. The implications of this are huge. I'm glad there's an alternative to "dark (eye roll) matter" and "dark (double eye roll) energy." The leap he's taking to quantize the definition of space seems to make more intrinsic sense because it helps explain phenomena in both quantum mechanics and relativity. The coolest part of all this is that constants can be constructed from these Planck lengths combined with nothing more than a minimum (pi) and maximum (zhou). It is disheartening though that this talk was in 2010 but here we are in 2016 and I haven't heard much elaboration on this idea. QST doesn't seem to be gaining momentum. :(

Thank You. Although I may not be able to visualize eleven dimensions, I now can make sense of many things, for example, why Time is described as the 4th dimension, "sacred geometry", etc. I need to watch this again to form my own inner visualization of the 9 dimensions of spatial behavior.

Today's scientific community is afraid of taking risks (you could lose your reputation if you put your name behind sth that could potentially be wrong. And job and salary with it. So it is much safer to just repeat what is already established. Only evolutionary progress possible because of that :-( ) Generally it is a good thing to be very skeptical. But it shouldn't be an excuse to not or just superficially examine such a promising new theory seriously according the standards of the scientific method (really - most scientists just browsed through QST for 2min until they found sth that didn't correlate with their current opinion. Done. None of them cared to understand the full picture and the beauty of it. We have to educate new PhD's at the beginning of their career to get it moving. That's why it will take a long time - no doubt about that. Quantum Space Theory QST & pilot wave theory do suggest testable and falsifiable predictions. This work is now under way. If Occam's razor is worth anything, QST is far superior to any presently "established" (and contradictory) theory, as it explains everything with the least amount of axioms (2) and assumptions (0) or crutches like dark energy or dark matter (0) or ANY FORCES... . ...and then let's not forget: Einstein took 30yrs to establish his general relativity! Let's hope we move a little bit faster thanks to the internet this time... . ...and last but not least: it's a psychological problem. Physicists are humans like you and me. Nobody likes to change his believes he hold onto dearly for many years. It includes to admit that you were wrong. Plus you've spent a lot of time and effort to run in another direction. Nobody likes to drop that. And then there is a lot of ego. It wasn't YOU who found the new theory... That's my (frustrating) experience from 2yrs of introducing "established" scientists to QST. It's like leaning against a supertanker. You need a very long breath to get it moving, but once it starts moving... So - you're very welcome to join the club, leaning against the supertanker, spreading the word. A good start would be to like and share this page: facebook.com/QuantumSpaceTheory/

This is a truly fascinating query and intellectual stance to see things through "different eyes" but much of it saw very serious problems less than a year later when ESA's Integral Space Observatory collected extremely strong evidence that IF Space is "grainy", the grains are orders of magnitude smaller than Planck Length. We could easily be well over 200, even 500, years away from observing anything directly just on Planck Scale. Orders of magnitude smaller are likely in the vicinity of 1000+ years away assuming we continue to progress as we have been for the past Century..
