Paddy Theosophist; Hail fellow theosophist! I think it was Faraday who married his best maths student and she solved most of his maths problems. Kept very quiet apart from some frank letters to collaborators. Don't spose you know how old this lecture is. I'm thinking early 90's..?

What a bliss to listen to this man, physicist, not at all full of himself - but really telling it right out - in plain English. THAT takes a true genius.

I like the way he explains things. He isn't so up in the clouds that he assumes everyone else there understands all the complicated points. With an ability to speak on the subject in a way that one can understand it w/o being a grad student or post-doc. in particle physics, his info comes across to those who need a push to get started and into the realm of more complex areas, such as the kind of lectures that Leonard Susskind delivers. But, to understand Susskind, you have to really be on your toes, or you'll miss something and that one thing you may blink and miss may be the road block which keeps you from "getting" the wider picture Susskind is painting, with eloquent words.

Loved it! There is no actor's play here, just a pure genuine physics, presented passionately.

This was an outstanding presentation. I've heard about dark energy for years, and I had no idea what anyone was talking about. This guy talks for 30 min, and I finally understand the general concept. I would gladly listen to every talk he has ever recorded.

Kim Griest is so full of energy, it takes a while before you realise that every broken sentence he utters is full of fascinating information. He's talking so fast, as if he expects to be shot at any moment. He exudes the meaning of 'mind blowing'. He's so full of conviction and energy he could boil off into the 'ether' before your very eyes. But, I've yet to see someone else explain a fraction of what Kim blurts out. He's a true example of a 'mad' scientist; yet it's clear he believes every word. My take is, he's right.

He is communicating his thoughts so well here. Beautiful

My eyes are watering in sympathy, and yet I dare not blink and take my eyes off of him for a moment; there is a confidence in that sinister spectacle that tells one that the barrier presented by the screen are held in pitiable contempt by whatever amphibian like alien race he belongs to

VERY good lecture!

I like this kind of top-down lecture. It starts with giving an overview..a good one. I can now make sense of some of the minutiae, the details, and the particulars of particle physics. Conversely, most lecturers start with the detail and particulars....which don't serve so well in gaining an understanding of the big picture. At least to my mind.

The way he teach things is incredible .he really wants us to understand things. Fall in love with this guy want to meet Kim , can do anything if it was possible

great informative attention holding lesson

Re: David Jeffrey Spetch Since you have disabled replies, I'll address some of the confusion that abounds in your amusing post, here. Some of it stems from the analogy of the Higgs being a resistive media, or because you are not familiar with basic facts about nature. In any case it is silly to label things you do not understand silly. The Higgs is not a resistive media (it does not stop moving things), it's a field that exists in all space, no matter if it is empty or not. Not every particle interacts with it, only those that do acquire mass. Photons move at the speed of light because they do not interact with the Higgs. Like it or not the big bang did occur, there is evidence all around. The Higgs was turned on as a result of spontaneous symmetry breaking. As the universe expanded and cooled down the energy density reached a certain threshold causing it. THink of it as a ball standing on top of another ball in the gravity of the earth - the state is symmetric but not stable, the upper ball spontaneously falls to one side breaking the symmetry (because the ground state is not symmetric). It is a mathematical analogy, don't take it literally. The universe is expanding, as opposed to matter moving in existing space, in fact due to the expansion some parts of it move faster than the speed of light relative to others, which is impossible for objects moving in space. It does not expand into anything - it is actually easier to grasp than imagining infinite space, there are no infinities in nature. "Theory" is just a word, don't make any assumptions from it, classical mechanics and electrodynamics are also theories, and the whole technical revolution is based on them. "looking out in space is looking back in time" is not a theory but a simple fact resulting from the finite speed of light. Sun rays don't take time to reach the earth (in their reference frame), for them the distance to earth (or to anywhere) is 0 - it's called Lorentz contraction. That's what relativity is about, it's a property of space-time - when you move faster the space for you shrinks relative to a "stationary" observer, while for him the time for you ticks slower. GPS would not work if relativity of time was not taken into account, so belive it or not, you are probably using that theory. Supernovae are being observed every day, is there anything in science that that you believe in? lol. Planets have not been stars because they do not have enough mass to start the nuclear reaction in their cores, and planets like earth do not even have enough mass to retain the hydrogen necessary for nuclear reaction. In thermonuclear bombs the fusion reaction is triggered not by gravity compression but artificially with a fission bomb. The Higgs by the way was found about a year ago. According to the theory predictions. The string theory is still not proved, as was clearly noted by the speaker. It is at this point a speculation. What is worse - it may never be proved directly, meaning that if another theory emerges that describes the world equally well, there would be no experimental way to determine which (if any) is actually happening. In conclusion, your largest problem is not that "people are disillusioned to think these mere theories are actually fact..." but your ignorance on the subject. It's good that you have the curiosity though.

Ok mr stringman, tell me, what are those ''very small'' strings made of ? What is the mechanism which decides the specific dimensions of the various strings and if there is such a mechanism, how do those strings, whatever they're made of, keep a constant length as to maintain a consistent particle ? String theory just has too many 'holes' in it if you get my point. I'm an armchair physicist but I can tell that this just doesnt cut it. Please stop wasting time speculating about wild fantasies and work on answering the simple questions. What is energy made of? If 'empty space' is kept from co collapsing onto itself by 'stuff', and nonetheless its actually expanding, what is it expanding into? What is beyond the border of spacial expansion? What are we expanding into ? Nothing? What is nothing ? Where is it and what is it made of? Where is our universe? Nowhere? In the middle of nowhere ? Just how far can we go in one direction ? Forever ? What is the universe contained in and what is that made of and how and why? What is a magnetic field made of? What is a force? Answer the simple questions before you go on a wild-goose chase and may we all sleep better tonight.

I don't know if string theory is correct, but there are indications that it is on the right track. I refer you to Brian Greene's books. But whether it is the correct answer or not, it is a good question to pursue and not just abandon as you would suggest. As for you questions such as "what is space expanding into" and " What is beyond the border of spacial expansion" , I suspect that you are either very limited in your exposure to cosmological theory or have some other agenda (I might suspect a religious agenda but based on your subscriptions, I suspect you are an atheist... good on ya, mate.... Ramen). For starters, have a look at any number of KZread videos entitles "what is the universe expanding into" and also numerous videos which talk about the "finite universe". Some of your questions are not currently answerable but some (like What is a force?) are very answerable. You might try cracking open a high school or entry level college text book for the answer to that last one.

What a terrific lecture- very interesting and a great, enthusiastic speaker..

good lecture and a perfect anecdote to end it

Spot on, I have not been able to grasp this theory previously. This is indeed the best introduction I have seen so far into Higgs fields etc. I am reading a lot of hate and anger in the comments. Keep in mind that even if this is wrong, its only going to lead to more research. Profit or no profit, mankind will strive for this knowledge as knowledge is power and power might keep you on the mortal coil for another year/hour/second (which is a priority for most of us!)

This is excellent

Completely edifying! August 28, 2018.

Kim was a smart man.It is sad that he is gone.He contributed some many great knowledge to the field of physics.

thank you for this amazing

Love the ending!

Maybe try looking at it like this. As a mechanic you've likely performed the same maintenance procedure on something many separate times. Most of the time there wasn't a problem but maybe once something went wrong later. Knowing that you've done the procedure many times successfully gives you good starting points when trying to figure out what went wrong this one time (faulty part etc). Repetition in science helps weed out weaknesses in the tests etc from useful data.

Good stuff!

Awesome presentation! Only wished that in the Q&A at the end, someone had asked where consciousness fits in. Great vid tho, thx.

for the record, the double-slit interference effect was first achieved with ELECTRONS, and that's what made it such a groundbreaking piece of experiment: electrons, which were, after all, "MATTER particles", we seen to exhibit the same wave-particle duality as photons. wave-particle duality was hard enough to swallow for light, much less for all MATTER. and, importantly, the idea that A SINGLE ELECTRON INTERFERES WITH ITSELF was the real kicker. nothing to do with aether, though!

thank a lot

One application of the understanding of empty space: If we understand what space is and how it can be manipulated. And through the manipulation of space, show that matter can move faster than the speed of light, we can build deep space propulsion systems which can propel people to the stars in reasonable times.

Amazing lecturer, really! He should read public lectures more often, or even open a yiutube channel.

This is an old video! And it is full of information! As a matter of fact - very useful information! And you need to look for the up-to-date news on matters like this one.

My dude explained the Higgs Field and Boson so succinctly... props, and cheers to science my friends.

When they claimed they found the Higgs boson a few years ago I remember there graphs showing a peak at an energy that they claimed was the Higgs but I never knew why they thought that? Why not think it was something else. Was the result model dependent?

Good, valid point!

I love the string theory! Its so promising!
