    It won't really break any laws it would just mean that the same laws would have to be written again with considering the fact that cpt symmetry is not a thing which a lot of physist assumed back in the day while making these laws like Einstein. The symmetry only makes physics easier that's why it will be a hell a lot of work to complete all the theories of the past for unsymmetrical systems.

    The resolution here is that, as it stands, we believe that if you mirrored something, flipped its charge, and reversed time, it would otherwise be experimentally indistinguishable from the point of view of the fundamental laws of physics. If this is not the case, it would seriously threaten the integrity of some major theories we use to this day to explain, on a fundamental level, the fundamental interactions of forces, [wave-]particles, and space-time.

    Honestly, and I say this unironically, most noble prize winners are somewhat undeserving of the prize anyway, as science is the sum of all of its parts, discoveries, changes and paradigm shifts. It's like Eurovision song festival winners, it's not a matter of the 'best song' winning. There is way more politics involved with these prizes as one might assume. Keep in mind Henri Poincare , Josiah Willard Gibbs (on par with someone like Lorentz ) , Ludwig Boltzmann , Wilhelm Sommerfield , Lise Meitner , Emmy Noether , Edwin Hubble , George Gamow , Robert Dicke , James E Peebles , Stephen Hawking etc. etc. never ever got a Noble Prize, despite being just as deserving of one, arguably more than any/some of the winners. Long story short, Nobel prizes themselves aren't that great of an indication of someone's true contribution to science. (It reminds me of how a lot of people who actually have a PhD in anything, aren't at all the people with the absolute highest IQs. In my mind this reveals how our scientific communities are broken when it comes to the potential progress, assuming intelligence itself plays a significant role.)

    the concept comes down to parity, and how the universe is not as symmetrical as we once thought; in regards to the parity of time, you can tell whether we're moving backwards or forwards through time (thus violating parity of time) through the interactions of the quarks in the strong force, since this interaction takes longer to occur in one direction through time rather than another. Apply this asymmetry to the other forms of parity in the video and voila you have the general conception of the topic at hand.

    All conservation laws depend on symmetries. For example in special relativity, the reason why an object with no resultant force acting on it has a constant velocity, is because the universe shouldn't care about where we set the origin of the 4D coordinate grid (metric) we use to map the objects motion (Lorentz invariance), and as such nothing should change - the conservation of (four) momentum depends on this being true. Since the frame of reference we choose to define as absolute rest (for say an experiment) is arbitrary, the laws of physics (the equations we use) must be invariant under changes in the velocity of our reference frame. Thus your 4D velocity is constant (c). So special relativity depends on CPT symmetry for its axioms to be valid (so that there is a way to reverse time and the laws of physics upholding). It also turns out that quantum mechanics depends on this being true for bosons and fermions to be distinguished, but at a fundamental level CPT violation would destroy basic assumptions like that the universe doesn't care about which charges are positive and negative - which if true means that charge is not fundamental, or even that the assumption that forces are definable by symmetries is not valid (which basically all physical theories assume).

Else, you could always get a freshman non-calculus textbook.

    The 'right hand rule' you learned is actually a handy way to explain _pseudovectors_ to people: see, the 'spin' in the vid has basically the same behavior of a vector *L* = *r* x m *v* , with *r* the position (say of a point particle, for simplicity) and *v* just the velocity d/dt ( *r* ); as you put *L* in front of a 'mirror' (i.e., change _vectors_ *V* by - *V* ), both *r* _and_ *v* swap sign, so *L* - or spin - doesn't change sign at all!

  • @SSGranor

    As +thstroyur pointed out, the right hand rule is always related to pseudovectors. A good way to think about this is that pseudovectors require a sign convention. They're like vectors in the sense that the have both a magnitude and a directional axis; but, they're unlike vectors in that there's nothing intrinsic that picks an orientation along that axis. However, the _relative_ orientation of pseudovectors is meaningful; so, it's useful to create a convention by which we can just assign orientations in a self-consistent way. And, that's what the right hand rule does. Everything would work just as well if we chose the left hand rule convention and applied it universally; but, we didn't.

    Ah! So it's sort of like how we arbitrarily assign "i" and "-i" (the positive/negative direction along the imaginary axis), in that if we replaced every instance of one with the other (conjugating everything) nothing would break. Or how we always draw circles determined by (cos(theta), sin(theta)) in the counterclockwise direction simply because of how we orient the axes on our paper.

Charge parity means that if metals had free protons which moved like electrons, you could recreate any electrical device utilizing the same phenomena with opposite, positive charge.

    At 3:00-3:03 we hear this: "In the mirror, the direction of the z-axis is flipped, but the direction of nuclear spin is NOT." Actually, what Whiteson and Cham show us is just one of three ways that such an illustration can be be set up. In the other two ways, the direction of the nuclear spin WOULD be flipped in the mirror. (Granted, this is how 'everyone' always presents these Wu experiment cartoons, implicitly choosing just one of the three possible starting orientations, then proceeding as if it were the only possible starting orientation. No doubt they took this approach to avoid an overly long video, but still it needs to be pointed out.) Second point: All such mirror-cartoons actually tell us nothing about the Wu experiment itself, whose results are very straightforward (never mind how fabulously complex its design and implementation were). The mirror-cartoons silently change the subject to: WHY-the-experiment-was-important, away from WHAT-the-experiment-was.

Who does these measurements, how can you see, follow and exactly measure subatomic particles still formed as an atom moving at the speed of light...mind blown. You should make a video where you explain the processes of HOW THE HELL THEY DO THIS? Like how does CERN work, how can they see collisions?, what does that look like? What can they see in those pictures they always show us of particles flying in every direction? how do you derive, spin, speed, mass and momentum? To me they look like fireworks but to them it tells them how the universe works on a quantum level. What do they see? How do they see it? I know how a multimeter works, I know how an oscilloscope works...but this woosh right over my head, could you make a video or a series of video's that goes in to depth and explains in laymens terms?

    URGENT Semantic Complaint: At 7:12 both sequences are actually symmetrical about a dimension of time, if you were to treat 'time symmetry' consistently as with symmetry for any other dimensions (has a negative and positive direction from a starting point). The 'Rewind' sequence is symmetrical to the positive progression through time if you consider that the time axis is flipped if you were to actually rewind time. I think better semantics for what is being described as 'Breaking Time Symmetry' is something like: 'Event Duration Asymmetry' Because one event is taking longer than the other in the SAME direction of time.

But when we switch to the mirror world, we have to switch perspectives too, so looking from the mirror version of you, and using the 'right hand' of the mirror you, that is, the left hand of the real you, the mirror Co, spins again in an axis going through the mirror.

I found it curious that you omitted that part out of your presentation; leaving it vague so your audience would assume that Chinen-Shiung Wu, “of course” got the Nobel Prize, when in fact she didn’t!

    mr mustache yes, it was people from the past whom didn’t give Chinen-Shiung Wu the Nobel Peace Prize because women weren’t taken as seriously back then. Hedy Lamarr is another one of these women that comes to mind... However, if Veritasium wanted to truly Honor Chinen-Shiung Wu, when bringing up the significant impact of her discovery to be able to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he then SHOULD have AT LEAST mentioned that she wasn’t even the recipient w/no credit given to her back then. Instead, he left it pretty ambiguous, letting everyone assume or THINK that History was all fine and dandy with a healthy respect towards Women or Minority Scholars. Unfortunately, that isn’t so. Things like this NEEDS to be mentioned. If not, we will never learn from our past mistakes and never will think to ask, who else have we not given the proper recognition for their major scientific discoveries? What other major scientific breakthroughs would we ALREADY would have known if we didn’t just blatantly dismiss a scientist/inventor/Scholar? All just because they happened to be a woman... Again, look at Hedy Lamarr or Joan Curran! But to be fair to me, I DID say that despite my criticism, Veritasium did a really well put-together presentation with a production quality that can rival major TV Studios! 😁👍

    Erick Lujan the Nobel Prize is not the point mate. Her not getting the proper recognition and validation by the Scientific Community at the time is! Sure, there are now videos about Chien-Shiung Wu so we can NOW know about her and what she did for Science. However, when talking about her or other Women in Science, we should also point out that those considered to be the Scientific Authorities have had a VERY long History (even happens today) of not recognizing, completely dismissing, and/or over even outright taking credit for Scientific discoveries or breakthrough made by Women and Minorities. IMAGINE how FAR ahead with WiFi Technology we would be if the Military and Scientists took Hedy Lamarr seriously? Instead, they all just thought of her as their era’s THOT and brushed her aside.... Could you imagine if she or other female Scientists was instead encouraged to come up with more ideas and discoveries? I’m pretty sure our advancement in Science and Technology would be that much faster! If we don’t call it out these injustices in Science or any other fields, then no one knows it’s a problem (again, even in some cases today), that definitely NEEDS to be fixed. If we don’t, you know the saying, “Silence ensures History repeats itself.” ~Erin Gruwell I highly suggest checking this article from the Smithsonian Magazine about Women In Science to begin get an understanding why this is a problem.

    I understood most of this, but can someone explain to me, how does the experiment at 3:50 tell you if you are in the normal, or in the mirrored world? I thought about this and i see a problem with it: Let's say, you have a friend, and that friend tells you: "if electrons of cobalt atoms are emitted in the same direction as the spin of the atom, you have just been put into a mirrored world". And, because a divine higher dimensional being really hated you in particular, your entire universe has been mirrored over night while you were sleeping and you didn't notice. So, just out of curiosity, and because you are a huge nerd, you try out if you haven't been just mirrored randomly. You grab a microscope (a large one) and study cold cobalt atoms. You use the Right Hand Rule™ (google it) to find the direction of atom's spin. And, what do you see? Electrons are emitting in the wrong direction! Oh no! Panic! Except not. Remember, you have been mirrored. Your right and left hands have been switched, so by doing the Right Hand Rule™, you estimate the atom's spin wrongly - in the opposite direction. So because the electrons are going the wrong way, and you have estimated the spin the wrong way, it cancels out and everything seems normal, and thus you can not tell you have just been mirrored, so the Parity symmetry has been conserved. Am I missing something important here?

The video clearly explains that parity is a way that all particle behave the same way IF you mirror 2 'axis'. Like if its x y z, its now y x z, hence why it is called mirrored. The thing is, as explained in the vid also, some particle looks different when mirrored, when people think it would be the same for every particle. You might have mistaken it as everything being in opposite direction. Now i have no idea what right hand rule have to do with this. I googled it and it's about magnetic fields.

It is when a hypothesis that is expected to come true (for all the body of knowledge would put forward) but does not, as is presented in this video, that the value of science becomes strongest. Unfortunately, when science is not done honestly, we have experiments repeated until the hypothesis is confirmed, and then that data set alone being published. Regardless of how many times it took.

    I don't think that's quite right. The essence of Science is knowledge, in the sense of knowing what is and what isn't, or the difference between fact and fiction. Science is more like a tool. If it produces the "wrong answer" it's human error, like how the scientists in the video keep trying to save their preconceptions instead of genuinely trying to understand. It's why I hate things like theories. They look to me more like people trying to force their ideas onto the universe instead of searching for truth. And that kind of human arrogance is why we have the dogmatic pseudo-religion of "because science," and why education tries to indoctrinate children into believing things that aren't proven instead of focusing solely on what we know. I think it ultimately dilutes science over time. edit: Kind of like what firebornliger said, yea. I was just replying to OP, sorry.

    @veritasium At 3.07 both the particles are not actually in the same spin because you are measuring their spin according to the right hand thumb rule with your perspective being +z axis for one particle while being - z axis for another. This itself is like viewing a current carrying loop from its two different faces and arguing that they must have the same polarity. In conclusion the symmetry inevitably exist if the frame of reference or the perspective was getting inverted in the same phase ( or in the same manner) as all other fundamental particles. Which means that if the c.p.t. symmetry were to consider each and every fundamental particle and all 7 dimension, then symmetry would never ever be broken and the special relativity or the quantum theory would never ever fail. The time symmetry actually never gets broken because if you were to invert time ( ie. reverse it) and even invert the definition of clockwise movement of the pair of quarks, the symmetry as an absolute measure never gets broken. Whether or not in mirror dimension, it's just about perspective!

    Damian Reloaded Please don't. I only recently had a very similar discussion. "Order" in relation to entropy has a very particular meaning. Entropy characterizes, in essence, probability distribution of microstates given a particular macrostate. To anyone familiar with information theory, this should be very intuitive. To everyone else, not so much. Entropy does not describe distribution of heat in any way, the usual picture shown is just somewhat misleading.
