We’ve known for some time that around 95% of the energy content of the universe is in dark matter and dark energy. This dark sector doesn’t interact with light in any way and so is invisible to us. The remaining 5% - the light sector - represents all of the regular matter in the universe. Yet what if I told you that all of the stars and galaxies and galaxy clusters only comprise 10% of the light sector. The rest has proved as elusive as the dark sector. We think it must exist as extremely diffuse gas in between the galaxies, yet our intense searches miss up to half of it. At least until now.

    Actually, since the whole issue was about missing quark/baryon particles, I think it proves that the adhesive should be called by the alternate pronunciation dating back to the beginning of the quantum science era: "Duck Tape." They have been trying to tell us for years! The ducks paddle around calling it out: "Quark, quark, quark, quark!" to let us know they had the situation under control already :)

    I find it amazing and humbling to think about the distribution of energy from the top down instead of the bottom up. So about 70% of the energy of the universe is of a form that hardly interacts with anything at all, uniformly distributed in a very diffuse way throughout the whole thing: dark energy. About 25% is still in a form that hardly interacts with anything at all, but interacts with itself enough to clump together into a web of invisible filaments: dark matter. About 2.25% is stuff that does actually interact in interesting ways but is just spread out diffusely through all of space not doing much interesting: the cold baryonic matter we'd already accounted for. Another 2.25% of it is at least caught up in those invisible filaments and slowly flowing together: the lukewarm baryonic matter we just found. About 0.4% is concentrated at the tiny points where those invisible filaments intersect, densely enough for some of it to start fusing and illuminating the rest of it incandescently. This tiny glowing fraction of a percent is ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY. And only about 0.1% of all the energy in the universe is interacting stuff that has interacted enough to produce something other than a gas, but rather some specks of dust mostly floating around some of those stars, and just one of those innumerable specks of dust that altogether make up only that one tenth of one percent of energy in the universe is THE ENTIRE WORLD WE KNOW.

    Baron Teddy Von Forsthoffer I mean, it just _is_ if you understand the structute of Dirac spinors. Just picture a half integer spin wavefunction on the 3 sphere - notice the two linked circles, one being the spinor's rotational axis and the other which is mapped to a constant phase change by the SU(2) action. At arbitrarily high energy levels these "loops" don't go away because they represent a conserved charge of the SU(2) symmetry, so they just coil up and densely pack into the 3 sphere in a variety of ways. These are your typical hydrogen atomic orbitals, but the orbitals nornally shown are only based on the Schroedinger equation, which doesn't include spin (i.e. doesn't describe the wave function on the whole sphere, but only on the tangent space at the origin).

Been so interesting to finally get an insight to how quantum physics works. Had no idea we understood the universe on the level we do and it's awesome. All the equations in videos that look mind-boggling but with historical explanations. Early into this channel so lots to learn. The how to make a black hole video was so ace but need to learn more about momentum space and quantum mechanics. You should sell shirts too, i bet you'd sell some.

    A time-traveling monk from Middle Age England arrives in the current day. Being an ascetic, he's not impressed by our wealth and technology. He is, instead, delighted by the number of Christian churches to be found everywhere, generally multiple in a single town, some even situated next to each other! However, upon entering many of the churches, he is stunned and saddened by how few say a full Mass. This deeply perplexes the monk, whereupon he sets himself on a pilgrimage to solve... The Missing Mass Mystery!

    When light get red-shifted by the expansion of the universe, it has the same energy or lost some? I guess that the energy stays the same and it is just spread over bigger distance. Otherwise, it would violate the principle of energy conservation. However, I'll rather ask than guess.

    Yes, the light has lost energy. This CAN be considered a violation of conservation of energy but does obey a broader conservation law. Energy conservation is not some law handed down by God; like all scientific discoveries it can be proven wrong at any time by strong enough evidence,e which the CMB and redshifting in general provides. In fact it's better than simple observation since, thanks to the work of Emmy Noether almost a century ago we know that energy conservation can only hold if the space that energy is in remains constant. If space expands or contracts energy conservation can break down. This happened before with matter conservation;once it was discovered that mass wasn't some fundamental thing but related to energy it was 'absorbed' by energy conservation, a broader conservation law. As such there is the concept of 'energy-momentum' sing 4-vectors where something similar to, but broader than our regular idea of energy is conserved. In a sense the energy lost by the CMB has gone into pulling the photons apart, fighting the minuscule curving of spacetime they produced and flattening it. If the universe collapsed back we'd see the CMB blueshift until it reached its original energy again.

    I have some question related to your last video which I could not ask ... 1.Virtual gluon's lifespan is limited by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle....So does a real gluon have an infinite lifespan like regular photons? 2. delta e represents uncertainty in energy.so does a virtual particle that exists forever have infinite or any POSSIBLE value of energy? I know I am wrong somewhere ...but where? PLEASE ANSWER

  • @garethdean6382

    @garethdean6382

    6 жыл бұрын

    1.) Being massless (The previous video made a mistake which they corrected.) a real gluon CAN have an infinite lifespan. In baryons however it experiences 'containment' which means they don't last very long on average. This has important ramifications for the structure of things like protons. Massive particles like the W or Z have a half life, their virtual versions have a SECOND half life that adds to this, meaning that while both don't (On average) have infinite lifespans virtual versions decay far faster. 2.) A virtual particle that can exist forever must have an infinitely precise energy. This value can't be just anything, there's no such thing as 'exactly half a particle'. It's either 0 or 1. If this value is 1 then what you have is something infinitely close to a real particle. If this value is 0 you have no particle or a virtual particle with an infinitely small energy.

    In QFT particles are quantized, you have 0 particles, or 1, or 2 or... You can't have half an atom floating about. For virtual particles that exist a short time their energy is imprecise, it'll be sort of 0 and 1 and 1/2, it doesn't matter, they don't last long. But one that has existed a long time (say forever) must have an energy that spread that is stable, it must be near 0 or near 1 or near 2... Ones that try to be near 1/2 aren't stable, they just don't work.

    Correct, like biases and processes, nexuses (at 5:38 in the video) has a plain old schwa-sound plural, despite all the KZreadrs mispronouncing them with long-E. They mistake these plurals as Latinized (like analyses), thinking they'll sound more educated. Nope. Just look up any plural you're not sure of in a top dictionary. If no irregular plural is listed, the plural is a plain old -s (claps) or -es (classes). Even if a plural is shown, it is pronounced regularly unless it has a pronunciation showing otherwise. Look up nexus, bias, and analysis at m-w dot com to see examples of how this works. Interesting that even though m-w tries to show pronunciations of singulars and plurals that often are mispronounced, the mispronunciation of biases is so recent (mostly due to KZread, probably) that m-w hasn't noticed it yet and thus doesn't even show a plural, much less a pronuciation of a plural.

Could not in theory such a civilisation capture everything down to the smallest scraps of infrared?" Kind of a harrowing thought on the explanation to dark matter. Though in gravitational lensing, and eclipsing of other stars and bodies could give that away, the same problem with the dark matter just being quiet little black holes smattered through the cosmos.

    Well no; for several reasons. First is emissivity, that would suggest that the civilization isn't producing any waste heat, and the laws of physics say if you're not doing that you can't use the energy. The spheres would have to emit as much energy as the star they contain. We assume this would be heat energy, IR and we are in fact looking for such signals now, but it could also be radio waves if they were more efficient. The star is pumping out energy, at some point the spheres must too. Secondly dark matter isn't clumped like stars are, it forms a sort of 'halo' around galaxies, almost spherical in shape. This suggests whatever it is isn't stars. Thirdly it's present in a massive amount in all galaxies we've looked at; what are the chances that a civilization arose to do that in every galaxy we see? To nearly the same extent, no exceptions? And why haven't they taken ALL the stars? Why leave 10%?

  • @kauske

    Gareth Dean Already covered the problem of heat. Chances are if some civilisation could get to the point where building dyson arrays was trivial, they may find a way to minimise energy loss to the point we just can't detect it. Alternatively, we can detect it, but it's lost in the noise of the CMB and other radio grumbling from the cosmos. And why not take all of the stars? Many reasons, they could only be interested in red dwarfs for their longevity, they might not be "finished", Maybe they specifically ignore inhabited worlds. It's mostly just a thought experiment anyhow. :P

    Energy loss isn't the problem, the basic laws of physics state that you have to move energy if you want to use it. I can stockpile dynamite all day long but can't do anything without exploding it.There's even a limit on how little energy you can expend flipping a single bit\state. So this civilization is going to have to take energy from their star, make it do work and dump it somewhere cooler. Since the inside of the sphere contains the star the only option is outside, into space. Otherwise the sphere will heat up until it reaches equilibrium, a hot 'heat death'. Moreover, unless they destroy the star somehow they'll have to vent as much energy as the star produces, otherwise again the 'excess' heat will build up inside the sphere until it gets as hot as the star (At which point the star will dissolve.) The upshot of all this is that the spheres should be emitting a lot of energy, since it's not in the form of light it should be in the form of infrared, microwave or radio. Each should be incredibly obvious, even if purposefully disguised at the CMB (Since there's more stars along the band of the milky way than other parts of the sky.) Isolated dyson spheres could avoid detection but not if they are even equal to the current visible stellar population, let alone if they exceed it several times over.

    You're the first person I've seen point out that's probably where some of the dislikes come from on all popular videos! :D

    The theories are not solid. Only parts of them are. Someone needs to hire a writer with a 3 digit or better IQ.

    Hey Matt, recently I watched this lecture by Erik Verlinde in which he introduced his Entropic Theory of Gravity which describes gravity not as a fundamental force but rather as an emergent behavior from statistical nature of quantum mechanics and the holographic principle at interstellar distances. Do you think you can make an episode about this since we hear about Dark Matter all the time and this would explain the universe without it? Thanks and I love the channel!
