It was year 2006 when I embraced enthusiastically the string theory, which I had learned few years earlier. It seemed so plausible, and coherent with the incompleteness principle of Logic. One bit at time, it begun to fall apart, to the point that I now consider the theory as a mere mathematical exercise. I believe the string theory be lacking on the fact that these extra curled dimensions could be interacting between them, and should be somewhat hybridised. New indicators - like the G - 2, are pointing to the fact that there is a void in our understanding of the sub-atomic world; my hunch is we have badly misunderstood the nature of Space, and we lack a full comprehension of the consequences of the equivalence of Space and Time. You hint at this problem toward the end of the video, when you report of the common question, "Where the Space expands into", and the answer is much more complex and articulate of the concise explanation you tell in the video. I hope a new era for our Science will soon open, after almost a century of intellectual stagnation. Thank you for your video; I appreciated the warp drive rocket (Is it what Asimov kept calling "Sakharov Drive" in his SF stories?). Regards,

"New indicators - like the G - 2, are pointing to the fact that there is a void in our understanding of the sub-atomic world; my hunch is we have badly misunderstood the nature of Space, and we lack a full comprehension of the consequences of the equivalence of Space and Time." I've thought similarly, that the question "what is space" has been generally ignored and accepted as a "simple necessity" of being able to have a model. Space has been taken for granted, same as causality (explored via QM), and same as time (explored via GR) I think at least we can say for Space that there is *some* effective formal discretization; or more generally, at least that it (or something) "exists". And there's a lot of it, whatever it is Boring thought: If you have a thing and another thing, and they "exist simultaneously", this creates another (one other) thing. The real rules of the universe probably have some notion of that somewhere, but this is too generic, there's nothing to go from there. But what about the set of rules available from these bases? What if the two things exist into another two or three things, rather than one? Or if there's some attribute to attach and parameterize on? What if the ability to "exist" is hampered by some relations between what already exists? I could go on - it's hard to make sense of all the different kinds of systems that can be thought of, but at the least we can find ways to enumerate these and check out how they work in the abstract. Some very smart mathematicians have worked out ways to generically represent relationships and actions/operations between things (eg lambda calc), and if we take these processes into infinity (which intuitively seems necessary to reproduce the Space we see), we can apparently use all this to get some really neat and *very* relevant properties (eg reproduction of effective Riemannian manifolds). Maybe after a while this basic concept could form a GuT? These ideas are the main topic of the Wolfram Physics project where they've got a bunch of stuff on youtube to watch; I suggest their introductory series starting at kzitem.info/news/bejne/o4xpx2SGs4B_pHo A quicker intro is Jon Gorard's interview by Eigenbros at kzitem.info/news/bejne/ooF6qmV3n3Z7dYI Additionally: wolframphysics.org/technical-documents/ They've got a construction matching GR and something very similar to QM, but are still a ways away from finding something like the SM. Very promising and I think the most effective approach so far to considering the question "what is space" (Note: I'm a hobbyist and probably misrepresented some of their ideas - I'm replying earnestly with only my own take on these subjects)

I'm no expert, but I suspect the muon's dipole moment discrepancy is due to theorists neglecting an implication of the muon's instability. In other words, an unstable particle is in a superposition of an undecayed state and decayed states, and I'm guessing there are some extra (Feynman diagram) interactions between the superposition state and other virtual particles that the theorists didn't account for. An electron is stable so it wouldn't have these extra interactions.

I find it intellectually a bit dishonest to just pull out one possible explanation for that phenomenon and pretend that would discredit the whole scientific process. If your idea is right, there would be a mathematical way to prove it, but you would have to do the mathematical work on it, and that would be a lot of work.

Thus one actually has to take measured data for the theory value (you measure x and the theory says that the value of y is related to x). If you look at the history of the theory value, you can see, that it performs jumps from time to time. So yeah, the theory value is not as precise as one would hope, but not because one neglected the decayed state.

Differential geometry and GR work perfectly fine with an intrinsic description of the spacetime manifold.

@Greg Jacques You are not providing me with any evidence to support your beliefs & opinions, I am not seeing any intellectual argument to support your personal dogmas. I can create new laws of physics, why should I listen to you? Everything in physics is made from energy or duality! It means that there is a dual process to that of increasing entropy or the 2nd law of thermodynamics (syntropy). You can think of syntropy as a mirror image or reflection of entropy. Your mind creates syntropy from entropy or average information in the form of expectations or predictions. "The mind/brain is a prediction machine" -- Karl Friston, neuroscientist. Syntropy = entangled entropy or correlated, associated entropy, mutual information. The word mutual implies at least two or dual. Thinking or having rational, analytical thoughts is therefore a syntropic process -- teleological. Uncertainty is converted into certainty -- Heisenberg. Unpredictability is converted into predictability. Randomness (Darwinian evolution, entropy) is dual to order (patterns, syntropy). There is a dual process to that of natural selection or Darwinian evolution. The concept of God is therefore dual. The observed (God) is dual to the observer -- David Bohm. Energy is dual to mass -- Einstein. Dark energy is dual to dark matter. Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non-teleological physics (entropy). Good news is dual to bad news. The bad news is that physics is currently dominated by teleophobia. Teleophilia is dual to teleophobia. Teleophobia in physics means that your will never hear about syntropy! Syntropy is not allowed because it interferes with the current dogmatic beliefs and opinions of those who control physics -- an intellectual crime against humanity.

One way to help with understanding concepts like curved space and expansion of the universe is to NOT try to visualize something that we usually really can't actually do with our 3-D minds but to think about it as how the points of space are connected. E.g., worm holes don't involve all that bending and folding, only that the the points in space involved are, somehow, connected in a way that results in the worm hole. Also, an expanding universe doesn't need to expand anywhere, essentially, all the distances between points are getting scaled. At least, this helps me, maybe it works for others.

Hi Sabine. I'm Argentine physic and your fan. I'm solidist but I teach Special Relativity and Astrophysics. I agree with the majority of your postures about the excessively speculative look of fundamental physics, after all, I'm an experimentalist. In relation to the dimension extra, necessary to curve the space in Relativity, there is the posture that it is only a theoretical representation of the distortions that cause the properties of light and the motion of matter in the dynamic of things. Is Anatoly Logunov's relativistic theory of gravitation. In this picture, the gravitation is a physic field, like the electromagnetic. It is to say, Einstein confounded the theoretical representation with reality. It is something that happens many times in this field.

Even in theory (geometrically at least) I can't see how using higher dimensions could be a short cut. If I walk across a field (2D) and I come across a wall, I can climb the wall (3D) but that adds distance. If higher dimensions were similarly extended (which we're pretty sure they're not) surely using them would add extra distance anyway?

Math is just logical symbolism. It is not the universe, it is a language used to describe the universe with a rigorous form of consistency. You can even devise a mathematical system with no relation to reality, as long as you keep all the gymnastics coherent. The idiocy comes when you call the math itself the nature of the universe. We measure things & that is what we can model with math, but we are measuring surface level phenomenon often & must realize not to equate what we can measure with the inner workings of what gives rise to what we measure. It’s like measuring the dimensions of a wave on the ocean and describing the overall shape of the wave, while not understanding anything about the chemical nature of the water and salt molecules. They do this goofy stuff when they say shut up and measure, then devise themselves infinite universes and nonsensical probability functions. No, fundamental reality is not described by imaginary numbers like i and j and such, if imaginary numbers are useful in describing reality, then that means we aren’t measuring fundamental reality, but we are measuring a system which results from the interaction of a more fundamental reality. They also do this mathematical nonsense with calling hydrocarbons “hydrophobic”, and seeking a state of higher disorder, when the neutral molecules have no property of being repelled by polar water molecules, the polarity of the water molecules is just a stronger attractive force than the neutrality of oils, so the oils get pushed out of the way, but they are inert in the whole situation. They can describe stuff, but they are so use to memorizing things that they don’t understand what they are describing, & thus go down these mental gymnastic rabbit holes.

Dimensions is a very Euclidean idea. If the universe is made of space (from a mechanical lorentz view) then fields emerge from structures in space. Distance becomes a statistical relativistic idea because at very high resolution it’s more like a Schwarz P surface with literally nothing in the middle. Just surface. Spin structures, charge structures, composites (neutrino, electron, N/P etc) are forms in space which create intense local casimir and derived forces. These forces are our descriptions of particles. Imho. Particles would be orbital paths along this surface. Photon simple undulation ripple

Motion is forces changing dimensions. Frequency is energy following the path of least resistance, yet still in resistance. It's diameter depends on amount of force, and type. Energy corkscrews through space at frequencies determined by resistance. Defracted and refracted by resistance. It's absorbed by attraction or repelled by counter force. In all exchanges heat is lost and created. Resistance always has heat involved. The heat may always be present but not condensed. Energy breaking into a new dimensional product: heat. Energy transference.

I think the trick for FTL is locality principle. What is determining for a particle it's speed? The environment where it is. If lot of mass (energy) moving in a certain direction time start flow differently. It is every day effect called frame dragging. I watching the material stream coming out from black holes. They are particles traveling near the speed of light. Those particles must manipulate space time and they should create frame dragging effect. The particles inside this jets could seem from outside exceeding the light speed. Because local spacetime has been dragged. When such a particle leaving that jet it will lose that dragging effect. It needs to lose that "extra speed" by radiating energy. And it must be a huge amount as there are gamma radiation coming from those jets. I think FTL is possible, if you can manipulate the locality of space time. And this is exactly what warpdrive should do. There are lot to learn about space and time...

It's not just Maldacena who can find correspondence. Not just correspondence, in fact, but equality. 1/ Newton’s laws of motions derive the centripetal force, F=mv2/r. This equation for motion is equal to the force of electromagnetism for a single particle, according to Robert Distinti’s New Magnetism when the distance (r) is the electron’s classical radius. 2/ Newton’s second law, F=ma, is equal to the force of induction, according to Robert Distinti’s New Induction when the distance (r) is the electron’s classical radius. 3/ Newton’s law of universal gravitation is equal to the force of the electron’s magnetic moment, as noted by the Bohr magneton (μB). 4/ Einstein’s mass-energy (E=mc^2) in force form at the electron’s radius is exactly equal to Coulomb’s law. WELL WELL WELL. Charge, in the form of current, = Mass. Who'd have thunk. I'll try to write the equations out by hand, starting with 4/, the electric: F = m(sub)e c^2 r(sub)e (1/r^2) = μ(sub)0e^2(sub)e c^2 /4pi (1/r^2), where, μ(sub)0e^2 is themagnetic constant x wave speed squared c - speed of light q - charge (variable) r - distance (variable). I'll give the rest later, if anyone is interested, but they should be in any good text book.

As an effect of general relativity, the expansion of the universe is different from the expansions and explosions seen in daily life. To understand the metric expansion of the universe, it is helpful to discuss briefly what a metric is, and how metric expansion works. It may seem obvious that distance is measured by a straight line, but in many cases it is not.In expanding space, proper distances are dynamical quantities which change with time. An easy way to correct for this is to use co moving coordinates which remove this feature and allow for a characterization of different locations in the universe without having to characterize the physics associated with metric expansion. In co moving coordinates, the distances between all objects are fixed and the instantaneous dynamics of matter and light are determined by the normal physics of gravity and electromagnetic radiation. Any time-evolution however must be accounted for by taking into account the Hubble law expansion in the appropriate equations in addition to any other effects that may be operating (gravity, dark energy, or curvature, for example). Cosmological simulations that run through significant fractions of the universe's history therefore must include such effects in order to make applicable predictions for observational cosmology. In principle, the expansion of the universe could be measured by taking a standard ruler and measuring the distance between two cosmologically distant points, waiting a certain time, and then measuring the distance again, but in practice, standard rulers are not easy to find on cosmological scales and the timescales over which a measurable expansion would be visible are too great to be observable even by multiple generations of humans. The expansion of space is measured indirectly. The theory of relativity predicts phenomena associated with the expansion, notably the redshift-versus-distance relationship known as Hubble's Law; functional forms for cosmological distance measurements that differ from what would be expected if space were not expanding; and an observable change in the matter and energy density of the universe seen at different look back times. In zero or one dimension or lower dimensions outlook, the universe do not expand and therefore no time dimension and 3D of space. We don't know, when dimensions higher up infinitely we have complex infinite patterns and just expand and become smaller and that's interesting. Correct me.

Thanks for your excellent videos, Sabine. I hope you’re going to move on to discuss the cosmology promoted by Nobel laureate Kip Thorne in his 2014 book The Science of Interstellar. He shows that Everett’s Universal Wavefunction is calculated in five dimensions, so a theoretical observer elevated to a fifth-dimensional vantage point would see the many potential 4D worldlines (or “world tubes” as he prefers to call them) bending and stretching in the warped geometries of the tesseract. This aligns with my own thinking about imagining the dimensions: yes, physically we are forever embedded in the third dimension, and our window into the extra dimensions is always confined to our maximum resolution of one-3D-Planck-frame after-another, giving us the impression that these additional orthogonal space-like dimensions are curled up on themselves.

If these extra dimensions are so small, then they are absolutely not in the same league as the 3 spatial dimensions we are familiar with, which have no size limitations (are infinite) and are not comparable to them in any way. They may or may not exist as sorta "ripples" in the continuum on a very basic level - the level of quantum phenomena - but for all intents and purposes the continuum as a whole is made of three spatial dimensions which translate in time. This is actually easy to prove. Nature uses everything, so if these dimensions existed, they would have been used. We also did not observe any two dimensional universes or beings, proving the concept in the opposite direction. I do realize that physics has hit a wall of incompatibility between QM and GR and that people are looking for solutions in all directions. GR has been an amazing breakthrough and it will probably take a comparable breakthrough, one that no one can see at this moment, to reconcile GR and QM.

I'm no expert (so apologies if I'm muddled), but I read something recently which I did not realise before, which may have a significance for warp drives, wormholes and General Relativity modification. I read that General Relativity is the only theory of a force of nature which treats energy as having an absolute value. All the other forces of nature have theories which only use delta E values. This I think is philosophically important. For some time I have been sceptical that energy has any physical reality in itself. People do not normally measure energy directly, they always calculate it from other 'real' things which can be measured directly. My suspicion has been that energy is purely a mathematical construct, like a 'potential function' that 'drives' processes in physics. Everything in physics links to this "chameleon" energy, but what is energy? My guess is it just provides the logical mathematical structure to our current physical models. It seems that in General Relativity we have to treat energy as if it has a life of its own. It has an absolute value, not just a delta value. Suppose though this is a mistake, Einstein would have believed in energy as a 'thing', he would not have questioned that. Suppose it is possible to reformulate the theory of gravity so that it only uses delta Es and no absolute Energies (mad?). Then what about the "negative masses" needed to create warp drives and wormholes, maybe they become available in a modified theory of gravity? Sorry if this is a load of rubbish.

Regarding your comments about warp drive being the most feasible method of superluminal travel, I posted this comment on your earlier video on warp drives. (It seems that every time someone discusses warp drive, they immediately jump to the Alcubierre metric. Here was my comment: Unfortunately for warp drive, you need negative energy, and lots of it, as you point out. The laws of quantum mechanics actually do predict the existence of negative energy, but they also put severe restrictions on what you can do with it. This has been a topic of research for some two decades or more, involving researchers from around the world. (These are the "quantum inequalities" mentioned in the abstract of the paper.) Many years ago, Mitch Pfenning and Larry Ford (Tufts University) showed that these restrictions imply that the amount of negative energy required for an Alcubierre warp drive is minus many times the energy of all the galaxies. (Although Chris van den Broeck has reduced this to about minus a Jupiter mass, as I recall, but at the expense of introducing other problems.) (The quantum inequalities also place severe restrictions on the negative energy required to hold traversable wormholes open.) Apparently, the authors of the paper you quote claimed to have solved that problem, and still be consistent with the quantum inequalities. Matt Visser, who has published many papers on this subject, together with his colleagues, have shown that negative energy is required for a warp drive ship even traveling at less than light speed. Such a ship constitutes an "inertialess" drive. Furthermore, it has also been shown by the Russian physicist Sergi Krasnikov that the ship at the center of the warp region is out of causal contact with the edge of the region. That means that the warp drive cannot be steered by the ship at the center. I would love for some kind of superluminal travel to be possible. I would be literally jumping up and down with delight. But the Universe is not obligated to fulfill our hopes and desires.

In my 3-d mind, that could explain the universe's expansion in the same way that two people traveling on a sphere on different longitudes seem to accelerate away from each other, that would also mean the universe is finite, could that hypothetical black hole explain dark energy? I think that would be a nice topic for your next video.

I think the people who say string theory doesn't make predictions are meaning it doesn't make falsifiable predictions. With most models/actual theories, you can make a prediction, and then be able to test if that prediction is correct or incorrect, and if incorrect, it falsifies the theory (if done properly anyway). But with the higher harmonics, you can't. If you test for them and don't find it, it isn't a case of string theory is wrong, it is a case of "the dimension is just too small so you need more energy". Also, the hyperspace used in sci fi is typically not extra dimensions of space, but effectively an alternative reality.

I feel like the the talk about other dimensions, is like fantasy.

Like, if you look an apartment building (there's one that I've watched fall apart, and be demolished progressively over "time"), I don't see how time, or an alternative dimension plays a part in its existence. It's a clear representative of something coming into existence, and out of existence(yet not coming in and out of existence.) We confuse the idea that existence is moments in time, and that perhaps we could piece all of these moments together, and see them as one in a fourth dimension, but from what begining, and what end? The same is true of people. It would be like sticking everyone that ever existed, into one picture, as one person, but that denotes a begining and an end. That doesn't work in relation to utilisation of matter. The utilization of matter doesn't logically have a begining or an end. At least not in a way that we can perceive it..... Logically speaking, when you look at something, like an apartment building, you are already looking at the entirely of it's existence, as it is at that moment, then you are looking at the entirety of its existence, in another moment. It's just a matter of arrangement of matter. It's like moving something in space; all you did was move matter from one point to the next. I don't see how time plays a part in that, other than we utilize time to conceive it as a discriminatory thought, because that's just how our thought process works. We wouldn't be able to conceptualise physics without discriminatory thought, like time.
