Sometimes it is instructive to have things you thought you knew well, explained real slow, by someone who really understands it - especially when you gain a subtle insight you had not known before, that makes a huge difference.

Playback speed 1.5x makes huge difference on wasting time. Mass is the synonym of slowness and locality. Question is how something can move slower than c. Answer is: locality. Something entering X Y Z dimensions (our "space") tries to specify it's (relative) position thus slowing it down, which means giving a mass. If you take away a mass from something, it'd fly away at speed of light, wouldn't be here anymore, and if you follow a moment later, you'd never catch it! It didn't disappear from existence, it still has information/value/energy in electromagnetic dimensions.

I have watched a LOT of Christmas Lectures and Evening Discourses via this KZread channel. Some of them are better than others, but I don't know if I have ever seen a difficult topic presented so clearly, delivered so brilliantly as the material in this lecture was. I am embarrassed to say, I don't really know who Jim Baggott is, but I do know he knows how to give a lecture. Well done, sir. Thank you. And to those who felt the pace was too slow, may I suggest that you tell KZread to deliver it faster than real-time (a playback setting you can set via the Settings icon). It does this well, without distorting the pitch of the audio. I did this myself, watching this lecture at 1.25 times faster than real time. However, I don't think the pace of the lecture was too slow. I think it was spot on. I watch most RI videos at 1.5x real time. This one was compelling enough to slow down.

Clear and concise, but not very precise! The size of objects do not shrink when they are travelling at high speed. To a stationary observer, it appears as if the size of a fast moving object has been shrunk. Einstein's relativity theories are about measurement discrepancies that led to the failure of the laws of Newtonian physics. The failure was due to measurement of space-time.

Since this is not the case, and since speed is necessarily defined in relation to a given referential, I don't think it is wrong (although it might be awkward) to say that objects shrink when they are travelling at high speed. Of course, they do not shrink in a referential relative to which they are at rest. But by definition, in that referential, they are not travelling at high speed.

Magic is an undefined trm related to our hormonally generated attention (surprise!) at an event or perception w had not previously experienced of imagined with our limited experience. I enjoy surprise, whenever it ha not resulted in injury or death. We never (hopefully) depart from a sense of magic/unpredicted surprise. Art Clarke made a poetic statement that must not be taken for fact, as it's only an observation of the brain's evolved function - to predict. And prediction, as is implied in the above talk, is only assessment of probabilities. Settle on one, and yu carry it with you until the carrier, that brain, is perturbed by novel sensory event[s].

I’ll be honest, the first 10 mins or so was not that engaging, but I realise that was intentional and quite deliberate to set up the rest. Which then kept me glued to the content. Master display of presentation and taking a massively complex subject down to such simplicity was wonderful.

I watched the video again and enjoyed it a lot. Historical background and explanations are superb and concise. Simplified scientific descriptions of the complicated physics were also outstanding. Thanks again, Dr. Baggott.

Absolutely gripping narration around understanding of what mass might be. How gravity gets associated with mass is amazing too. Am looking forward to a similar session for layman .

Maybe I just can't hear it but the audience really didn't help this guy, it's sort of an etiquette to laugh at any humour at these talks, no matter how bad the joke or quip is, and I thought this guy gave a well presented talk and made a number of witty remarks. It's not for comedy purposes but it helps the speaker connect with the audience and can really settle the speaker's nerves. Leaving awkward pauses only puts more pressure on a naturally daunting lecture. We've all done public speaking at some stage I'm sure you can relate.

So the explanation is that the energy of gluons is the source of most mass. But this is really not much of an explanation. It is almost naming the problem away. The problem that remains, after hearing this talk, is the following: how does concentrating energy in order to form mass create a gravity well, a distortion of space and time, that makes other particles experience a force of attraction? There is nothing that I can see in General Relativity that explains this. This question is at the heart of the concept of mass, since we measure and observe mass according to its inertia or its gravitational force, yet this lecturer did not even attempt to address it.

The force you feel is the force the ground exerts on you to prevent you from following a natural straight line motion in curved spacetime, which is the free fall. In some sense you are constantly accelerated in curved spacetime, by the force exerted by the ground. But I agree he should have started by these basic facts about GR.

If you want skip the mental effort, I've given the answer below (which are the core of my philosophy of universal survival and morality - read it)... "Why Bother?" Because consciousness is a good thing (consider the alternative - no consciousness). "Now What?" Now you pursue the ultimate goal of life, which is to secure the ultimate value of life, which is securing consciousness in a harsh and deadly universe. "How?" By employing the Strategies of Broader Survival, which are comprised of the three Lower Strategies (which all of life uses, right down to microbes): Population Increase, Population Diversity, Population Dispersal, and the three Higher Strategies (which emerged with our higher consciousness): Extended Reason, Proaction, and Higher Technology.

So grateful for the most replayed feature. saves a lot of time

I’m a layman, but it seems the most obvious & logical explanation for particles acting like polarizable axial or circular, helical waves as they travel is that they’re orbiting something (a dark (or anti) matter particle perhaps). It's not unlike Earth being pulled into a wobble by the moon, or a distant star's wobble evidencing planet orbits making our trajectories as we fly thru space have an apparent axial or circular helical wave (like a packet) as well, depending on the orientation of the orbit. And since we think we know undetectable dark matter exists and should be 5 times as common as matter but don't yet know where it's distributed, it seems a logical possibility that we are in a sea of dark matter, even in otherwise empty space, and every particle (photons, electrons, etc) is paired (entangled) in orbit with one. I think gravitational waves could be dark matter waves and that gravity might be caused by the density of dark matter. This could explain the double slit experiment results, including with a detector with some interaction between the dark matter and the detector (and perhaps dark matter entanglement), it could explain the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, as well as explain the deflection of the axis of the particle's wave motion (orbit orientation) moving thru polarizing filters rotated less than 45 degrees apart, etc.. Perhaps the only reason for photons' max speed limit is caused by the dark matter they're paired in orbit with interacting with other dark matter. This could also explain why the universe is expanding from the central singularity point of the big bang outward in all directions faster than the speed of light into previously completely empty universe space, given that there is no dark matter there yet.

It's good to have people help correct his video's. And yes it's horrible when people are just saying thing's to tare down another person when all he is trying to do is enlighten others. If i was him i would think of ways to be more detailed in giving information. I would not treat people like kids, i would give honest information and not sugarcoat the information. You can make it simple with out making it to simple.
