No, it's not epic. In the expression "vacuum cleaner", the word 'vacuum' describes the process by which the machine cleans--by creating a vacuum (or at least a significantly large air pressure difference)... Therefore, by that logic, "dark energy" could indeed be energy that is described as 'dark'--and, arguably, it is (that's why the expression was coined). That being said, peanuts are indeed NOT nuts (so, a misleading name like 'pineapple').

This is one the best videos about science in general that I have ever seen. The distinction between doing science and doing math, resolving how there can be so many different 'resolutions' to science problems that don't actually resolve the problem, while simultaneously exposing how clickbait titles and the desire to churn out papers play a negative role in all this. This should be played in every science class everywhere. I think it can do nothing but reassure students that science has always been and always will be about experiment, not conjecture.

"If you try hard enough for ten to the power of five hundred and thirty years!" "vacuum cleaner does not clean vacuum!" "Of course, everyone likes their own solutions best!" Another set of Sabinesque statements. You are simply unbeatable when it comes to quips. By the way, what a "wow" dress.

I agree, math is a valuable tool that can explain many things, but it is not reality. Logic doesn’t go out the window just because math says so. I can see no reason why Hawking radiation would end up with nothing? Would it not stop, once it reaches a point that it no longer weighs enough to be a black hole? Seems to me as soon as it lost enough weight, it would become a black hole remnant, or a neutron star or some such body. If it no longer weighed enough to be a black hole, why would it continue to act like a black hole? And the problem is, no black hole is old enough to have evaporated, so there is no way to observe it happening, we will have to wait a few trillion years to find the answer. Some things are beyond the capability of humans to know.

@@Lincoln_Bio No, that is not how that works. First, you have a very fundamental misunderstanding of how speed is defined. The expansion of the universe has no speed, because it is not a movement. The rate of the expansion of the universe is measured in SI units of 1/m^2, while speed is measured in SI units of m/s. Thus, it makes no sense to talk about the expansion of the universe being faster or slower than c: it makes no more sense than saying 5 °C is hotter than 15 kg. Second, space is not being expanded. Spacetime is being expanded. The redshift tells us information about how the metric of spacetime changes with respect to proper time, but the speed at which the light is traveling is not changed, because all of spacetime is expanding, not just space by itself. Therefore, nothing is traveling faster than light. Spacetime expanding is not a form of travel, and there is no speed associated to it, because the rate at which it happens is not a speed, but an inverse length squared. I suggest you read up some general relativity material if you want to continue having this conversation, because we will frankly get nowhere if you continue adhering to this fundamental misunderstanding of how speed works and what a frame of reference is.

Even if I ever did come up with a mathematical solution to it, I'd essentially be wasting my time, and you made me realize that even in an extravagant field like cosmology, boudaries must be set and the universe cannot be treated like a math problem because it is science and science still requires the element of observation regardless what domain it is, and there is virtually no possibility of observation in this case.

I have the feeling that nobody mentions this anymore because the moment they do, everyone will think less of it given that assumptions were involved. I remember I was deeply puzzled by "Where do I start with building my theory?" in high school. Now I know. Making assumptions, and recognizing that they are assumptions, is an incredibly powerful tool to make progress. I use this in my daily life almost every day - it works wonders.

A very valid point, not limited to natural sciences: As an economist, I can more than relate to that statement ;-) But don't you dare ask your German professors how their super-fancy overcomplex economic models of this and that actually relate to reality (or if they do at all)...

I do think that some economic models, even if the assumptions they make about the rationality of the participants or the efficiency of a market or whatnot, are substantially too strong, and are therefore sufficiently far from accurate to not be useful when applied to actual people or actual markets (not saying this is the case of them, just saying even if it is), I think that some of them would still have substantial merit as a purely mathematical construction that just happens to be inspired by the idea of people and such. I guess by merit I mean like, aesthetic merit, and also as a potential tool for making other constructions in math with desirable properties (which could have applications later down the line). For example, the logical induction algorithm is based on ideas behind prediction markets, and I think it is very nice, despite the fact that I now think that prediction markets are probably in practice not quite as effective as I once thought (I mean, they still work to some degree, just, not as well as I hoped). Of course, how much public resources should be spent researching something on the basis of aesthetic merit, is presumably substantially less than if it were applicable in practice. Nevertheless, I personally would like for people to continue to do math that produces math results (by results I mean true conclusions. I only value the aesthetically nice math if the math is actually correct-as-math.) that mathematicians find aesthetically pleasing.

No Hawking Black Hole, No Information Loss, NO Black Hole Evaporation?. Physics is not mathematics. Recently, S Hossenfelder ( Frankfurt university) published a video questioning the Hawking Black Hole information loss and evaporation. It says: Until now we did not observe the evaporation of Black Holes, so there is reason to speculate that there is NO evaporation and NO Information Loss as suggested by the general accepted.Hawking Black Hole model, but Black Hole Big Bangs. Other observations on black holes, does not suggest that black holes evaporate, such as central giant black holes inside galaxies. Physics with propeller shaped Fermions is not mathematics, if propeller shaped fermions (mass) do not enter the black hole but they are pushed away into discs of rotating matter and so called Fermi jets/ bubbles perpendicular to the disc plane around the black hole just like the shapes of galaxies. see: The Cyclic Undivided Raspberry Multiverse.

Nobody ever mentions how the Covid virus replicates. It seems to be assumed that if humans are isolated then the virus will die. Is that true ?

Hello dear Sabine Hossenfelder, I love your name and you are such a great educator. Please except my true respect. Honestly, first of all, I don’t know how to start even but I have come up with this all, by myself, with my own understanding and studying the facts, over 2-3 years ago. That this world has initial beginning and will also have an end, in a sense that it is all repeated unlimited number of times and therefore the future and past is interconnected and we live one life over and over again. Therefore, we must Try to live hand-in-hand and be in unity, in brotherhood with everyone of our kind, Be compassionate to one another and this is the life we create for our one life that we have. Let’s do it all right. I believe we should be a smaller part of the mechanism including the universe we know it is just a part of the bigger mechanism because the true picture will be outside of our comprehension due to we are literally incapable of measuring that’s all what’s outside of our reach and eyesight and so we can’t be self-centered and think that everything derived from our standpoint. OK here we go, I think thanks the magnetism and other forces, all combined. As energy and the matter is the same thing, in larger scales it just changes its state to transforming into matter and energy and vise versa over the unimaginably long period of time. I believe the cycle of the matter is exponentially larger than the cycle of being in energy state. Therefore, when all the energy is concentrated in one place it explodes Giving birth to the same happenings that took place before us. It is all just a cycle that is really matters for us only time-wise. We should understand that time is nothing for the energy and it can exist forever and be there as is for good and there has never been a nothing other than vast combinations of energies floating around and fluctuating in its own unique way. The question is if all those energy clouds that are far enough from each other so as to not effect us radically are the same in size as ours? What can be their quantity? I think they are the same in size, although GOK )). To sum up, the universe as we know it will end up with black holes that will radiate into becoming energy from out layers of the black hole. Then after this cycle all there will be energy that will quickly find one another and concentrate onto a point where a new big-bang will occur with same you and me in it. Whatever is out there we won’t ever know you should admit it is unreachable so let’s do comparative analysis of what have been achieved so far to what have really been given to the society. Let’s work on our full potential! If you guys don’t know how let me tell you. Think deeper and even deeper a d always deeper. Then we will achieve all that can be achieved. Otherwise we are gonna fight over who believes what and never look in the mirror. That’s not all but thanks a lot for your attention and time. I would love to join the science community and discuss my views but I don’t know much about how it works because I’m new in the country. My goal is to achieve success in my business and help the poor people that deserve better life. Honestly, I didn’t take much time texting this. And I think I was able to describe my views. Thanks.

If black holes have entropy (Hawking) then they must also have syntropy or entangled entropy. Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics! Syntropy is converging information or mutual information (Shannon) which is used to make predictions used in the target tracking process (Kalman filter) -- Teleology. Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non-teleological physics (entropy). "Through imagination and reason we turn experience into foresight (prediction)" -- Spinoza describing syntropy. The word syntropy means "a tendency to converge" or integrate, unite into a whole -- holism. The word entropy means "a tendency to diverge" or differentiate into new states - reductionism. Divergence is dual to convergence, differentiation is dual to integration, reductionism is dual to holism! Duality means that black holes have syntropic information! If black holes contain syntropy (mutual information, entangled entropy) then the question becomes can black holes think, are black holes conscious, are black holes therefore alive!? Energy is dual to mass -- Einstein. Dark energy is dual to dark matter. "Always two there are" -- Yoda. Information loss = syntropic information! Ethico theology is dual to physico theology -- the teleology of Immanuel Kant.

Thanks Sabine, I'd just read that article recently and was wondering how promising this new approach was. Turns out I was asking the wrong question. I've wanted to learn more about black hole remnants/relics, though. I've not seen every one of your videos, but if you haven't yet done one on that topic I'd very much be interested in one. I skimmed what I could grasp of your PhD thesis and the idea of observing one with the LHC if our universe does indeed have compactified large extra dimensions was tantalizing to say the least.

Fantastic explanation and thank you for giving the author of the article an objective evaluation.

That is a knock out outfit! I have a question that I'm putting up in multiple places and anyone can chip in an answer. Since the BH is only linked at the Event Horizon to the greater Universe, does the expansion of the Universe directly affect that 'surface'? Is there an expansion of the BH? Does it radiate more or less?

Great dress/outfit! Really cool background, too. And they go very well together.

Finally someone explaining science without bull***t. I hate those misleading names such as "Dark Energy", "God Particle", "Information loss" and etc. It took me a lot of time to understand that superposition principle is in reality just a mathematically effective model and not actually the phenomena itself. Dankeschön Sabine!

Thanks for the explanation Sabine as well as the quantum mechanics series. I'm a former physics major and wondering if you have a recommended under and graduate level reading list and where to find out more about superdeterminism. Also amazing dress!

It's not even a democratic process where a self-appointed group gets to decide what is true.

Just was watching Leonard Susskind on Keating's show. Over the years, I liked Lenny for many reasons, but lately I feel like I have come to loss respect for him. He basically inferred some pretty big insults against you Dr. Hossenfelder and Lee Smolin and others in that interview. This is the guy ultimately responsible for the extreme expenditure towards a dead end who just can't admit it. He seems like the most out of touch Boomer physicist ever. He even admonished Roger for his recent noble prize. Really a myopic man.

Well unless high pressure physics makes a truly astounding jump forward, I think that won't be possible for a long time. The current record for static pressure in a lab is about 1TPa, which is only 0.0038% of the pressure at the center of the sun, which itself is probably only a small fraction of the pressure required to form a black hole, not to mention the sheer volume of material we would need to compress to form a black hole of an observable size. I think it would literally be easier to go out into deep space, move a bunch of stars onto a collision course, and hope they form a black hole when they collide than it would be to try to make a black hole on Earth. That's the only way I see for humans to ever create a black hole.

Some even go so far that they don't care if they are right as long as everyone else is wrong.) Some of the people who keep looking for new ways of being wrong are scientists.

A perspective on black holes. I found your comment that you were modelling a black hole as a superfluid most encouraging, it fits my belief perfectly. I offer this thought in the hope that it may be useful, a possible explanation of what is. The outermost boundary is the accretion disk, that region of space where matter is deconstructed into spacetime and EM. The EM (everything quantum, including information) is stripped from the matter and then ejected at the poles in jets. The remainder (spacetime) is accepted into the black hole. The skin of the black hole is most likely a BEC which surrounds a spinning ball of liquid spacetime. It is liquid because the temperature within the black hole is less than 0K. It is possible that a black hole has a structure containing thermoclines and, in the larger ones, a solid colder core. This core, even though solid, is far short of the density/coldness required to form a singularity (we know this because black holes have diameters). Black holes can evaporate but all that it produces is gaseous spacetime. If this is the case, creating a black hole would require the creation of a region of 'vacuum' below 0K, a region where particles can not exist because spacetime is not warm enough to support them. As I understand it, a BEC experiment did get close to this limit (state change boundary value) and the experiment appeared to 'melt', I would say condense. I hope that you find this thought interesting.

I'm glad you mentioned peanuts aren't nuts. I've been fighting this false information my entire life.
