  • Episode 51. From Atoms to Quarks: Electron waves attracted to the nucleus of an atom help account for the periodic table of the elements and ultimately lead to the search for quarks.
    “The Mechanical Universe,” is a critically-acclaimed series of 52 thirty-minute videos covering the basic topics of an introductory university physics course.
    Each program in the series opens and closes with Caltech Professor David Goodstein providing philosophical, historical and often humorous insight into the subject at hand while lecturing to his freshman physics class. The series contains hundreds of computer animation segments, created by Dr. James F. Blinn, as the primary tool of instruction. Dynamic location footage and historical re-creations are also used to stress the fact that science is a human endeavor.
    The series was originally produced as a broadcast telecourse in 1985 by Caltech and Intelecom, Inc. with program funding from the Annenberg/CPB Project.
    The online version of the series is sponsored by the Information Science and Technology initiative at Caltech. ist.caltech.edu

      @@PeterMilanovski The reason scientists can say that quantum particles really exist is because we observe things in nature to confirm it. The iron in your blood was created in a supernova explosion billions of years ago. You need the models of QM to see why that's true, and there is plenty of observable evidence to back it up. Someone in the future may come up with a more precise model, but that won't negate what we know today.

      @@smithrs it is claimed that the iron in our blood came from a supernova explosion, but can we say for certain that this is where the iron came from? As far as I'm aware, it's a hypothesis that was developed by someone somewhere sometime who didn't bother looking for alternatives to explain the existence of iron!
      For all we know, that iron in your blood could have come from the fusion process that takes place every single day naturally around the planet! Laymen call it lightning and don't bother to understand why it happens and what happens when it does happen....
      We know from confirmed fusion experiments that even with a single type of gas molecule that is being excited by high voltage, we find various elements that have been fused to the anode that were not present before the experiment...
      You might have heard of the sapphire project and there are plenty videos here on RUclips. I would suggest having a good look at what these people have done and pay close attention to what they have found....

    PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS:
    Potential completion of the Periodic Table of the Elements:
    I currently believe that there are 120 chemical elements in this universe. If a person were to look at how electrons fill up the shells in atoms: 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 18, 8 (seven shells), and realizing that energy could freely flow in this universe if nothing stopped it from doing so, then a natural bell shaped curve might occur. An eighth energy shell might exist with a maximum of two elements in it, chemical element #119 (8s1) and chemical element #120 (8s2).
    Chemical Element #119 (8s1):
    #119 I put at the bottom of the Hydrogen group on the Periodic Table of the Elements. It only has one electron in it's outer shell with room for only one more electron. Energy might even enter the atom through the missing electron spot and then at least some of the energy might get trapped inside of the atom under the atom's outer shell.
    Chemical Element #120 (8s2):
    #120 I put at the bottom of the Helium group since it's outer shell is full of electrons. It might have some of the properties of group two, Beryllium group (Alkali Earth Metals group) since it has two electrons in it's outer shell; as well as some of the properties of the Helium group (Noble Gases group) since it's outer shell is full of electrons; and if you look at the step down deflection of the semi-metals and where #120 would be located on the chart, it's possible #120 might even have some semi-metal characteristics. #120 would be the heaviest element in this universe. I believe chemical element #120 could possibly be found inside the center of stars.
    When a neutron split inside of this atom, it would give off one proton, one electron, neutrinos and energy. The proton and electron would be ejected outside of the atom since all their respective areas are full. One proton and one electron are basic hydrogen, of which the Sun is primarily made up of, and the Sun certainly gives off neutrinos and energy. And note, it's the neutron that split, not a proton. So even after the split, there are still 120 protons inside of the atom and the atom still exists as element #120. The star would last longer that way.
    In addition, if the neutron that split triggered a chain reaction inside of the star, this could possibly be how stars nova, (even if only periodically).
    If stars were looked at as if this theoretical idea were true, and found to even be somewhat true, then we might just have a better model of the universe to work with, even if it's not totally 100% true. And if it's all 100% true, then all the better. (Except of course for those who might be in the way of a periodic nova or supernova. They might have a no good, very bad, horrible day.)

    Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: "A theory that you can't explain to a bartender is probably no damn good." Ernest Rutherford
    When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons.
    Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension?
    Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons
    . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process.
    Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.

    Classical Physics: mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics & statistical mechanics, and then Schrödinger's equation form the practical basis of "proven laws" because of their application in all fields of engineering. These concepts all seem to "make sense", after some substantial thought and effort.
    Relativity (Special & General), Quantum Electrodynamics and Quantum Chromodynamics are far beyond our day-to-day experience, but are the "nutty theories" which describe the physical universe under more general conditions. These three theories would be better examples of implausible concepts which nonetheless agree with experiment.

    I have a serious problem with what he says at the opening. The whole thing about the asymmetry of what can be proven is correct: you cannot absolutely prove a theory is true because you would have to test it at all times and all places in the universe. Just because a scientist or scientists in general say "this is now a fact" doesn't actually make it a fact. It's a shame that some scientists can't grasp the basic philosophy of science.

    IN THE INTEREST OF FINDING THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING:
    SOME THINGS MODERN SCIENCE DOES NOT APPARENTLY KNOW:
    Consider the following:
    a. Numbers: Modern science does not even know how numbers and certain mathematical constants exist for math to do what math does. (And nobody as of yet has been able to show me how numbers and certain mathematical constants can come from the Standard Model Of Particle Physics).
    b. Space: Modern science does not even know what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually warp and expand.
    c. Time: Modern science does not even know what 'time' actually is nor how it could actually warp and vary.
    d. Gravity: Modern science does not even know what 'gravity' actually is nor how gravity actually does what it appears to do. And for those who claim that 'gravity' is matter warping the fabric of spacetime, see 'b' and 'c' above.
    e. Speed of Light: 'Speed', distance divided by time, distance being two points in space with space between those two points. But yet, here again, modern science does not even know what space and time actually are that makes up 'speed' and they also claim that space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary, so how could they truly know even what the speed of light actually is that they utilize in many of the formulas? Speed of light should also warp, expand and vary depending upon what space and time it was in. And if the speed of light can warp, expand and vary in space and time, how then do far away astronomical observations actually work that are based upon light and the speed of light that could warp, expand and vary in actual reality?
    f. Photons: A photon swirls with the 'e' and 'm' energy fields 90 degrees to each other. A photon is also considered massless. What keeps the 'e' and 'm' energy fields together across the vast universe? And why doesn't the momentum of the 'e' and 'm' energy fields as they swirl about not fling them away from the central area of the photon?
    And electricity is electricity and magnetism is magnetism varying possibly only in energy modality, energy density and energy frequency. Why doesn't the 'e' and 'm' of other photons and of matter basically tear apart a photon going across the vast universe?
    Also, 'if' a photon actually red shifts, where does the red shifted energy go and why does the photon red shift? And for those who claim space expanding causes a photon to red shift, see 'b' above.
    Why does radio 'em' (large 'em' waves) have low energy and gamma 'em' (small 'em' waves) have high energy? And for those who say E = hf; see also 'b' and 'c' above. (f = frequency, cycles per second. But modern science claims space can warp and expand and time can warp and vary. If 'space' warps and expands and/or 'time' warps and varies, what does that do to 'E'? And why doesn't 'E' keep space from expanding and time from varying?).
    g. Energy: Modern science claims that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it's one of the foundations of physics. Hence, energy is either truly a finite amount and eternally existent, or modern science is wrong. First Law Of Thermodynamics: "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed." How exactly is 'energy' eternally existent?
    h. Existence and Non-Existence side by side throughout all of eternity. How?

    1:37 - 1:43 He just demonstrated why his opening quote is, in fact, likely true.

Other features of relativity also remain in question.
    As to evolution, there is not one claim in evolution that has ever been proved true, and the more we learn the less "true" it becomes. All evolution theories have been proved false, but evolution just adjusts by adapting. In fact, species adaptation itself does not prove evolution because of the checks and balances that evolutionists scientists have never been able to violate.
    They still cannot produce a new creature no matter how many cells they force to mutate. The mutations always revert. Thus, they can never, under any circumstances, force evolution to evolve one type of cell or creature from another. It has never been done, even though they have all the tools and knowledge they need. Even their forced mutatiions by recombination get rejected.
    All their theories in that regard get disproved. In fact, evolution has not one model that has not been disproved. They are currently looking for new theories, but are in a place of stagnation. They remain, even, to push lies in classrooms, theories that have already been disproved ten and twenty years ago.
    So yes, if these are your best examples, then the quote remains to be accurate.

      What's your point? All science eventually breaks down into philosophy? He states "they are among the best established facts in human knowledge" at the time this was recorded. So there's two possibilities here. You're saying Dr. Goodstein didn't know what he was talking about and was just wrong or new information has come to show those theories were wrong. I think you're missing the point. F=MA was among the best established facts in human knowledge at the time of Newton and has been proven over and over as fact because it STILL works to this day. That there's a deeper or different understanding with relativity doesn't make F=MA wrong. It means it works within certain limitations or conditions. That some even deeper understanding may come along doesn't make Relativity wrong either. It's been tested, it is an "engineering fact used in the design of machines" as he put it. Maybe I misunderstand your point but your point almost makes it sound like it's impossible to really know anything about anything and facts don't exist because eventually something comes along to negate it. I don't accept that. Even if your philosophy is that there are no absolutes in this universe, there are still facts within certain frames or reference, within points of view. Of course , if there are no facts, then what you just said about relativity or evolution should be taken as.... an opinion.

      @@hifiandrew My Relativity comment was just to establish that it cannot be proved right, as per the quote. But my evolution comment was to demonstrate that a theory CAN be proved wrong, as per the quote. Though evolution, as a theory, is easily broadly interpreted and so can never be finally disproved, but the individual experiments done have disproved all theories of specific functions of evolution.
      For example, the theory that epigenetics can lead to evolution was proved false when they found that the traits were not inheritable and tended to revert. This disproves his claim that a theory can never be disroved.
      But he may have only been speaking of umbrella theories, as Relativity and evolution are, and not more specific satellite theories, like epigenetic evolution (proved false) or the law of rotating bodies (proved true). My point is that his statement can be proved untrue unless he is speaking only of a particular type of theory (umbrella).

      Mutations always revert? This is completely bogus.
      Most of your post is so vague that it's meaningless.
      What checks and balances are you talking about?
      Forced mutations by recombination get rejected? How do you explain GMOs? Working with organisms that have been modified in laboratories is common.

      You have NO idea what you're talking about. Early methods for genetically modifying organisms go back to the early 1970s.

    Do not think that Greeks only thought there were four "elements". They believed in four states of matter just as we do today: earth (solid), air (gas), water (liquid), and fire (ionization). Some classified metal as this type of state, just as we include it as a classification of elements along with alkaloids and the other states. They even included aether (what Einstein dubbed "the new ether" and QM calls the quantum field). But make no mistake, they did not think lead and gold were the same thing, but rightly concluded that by a minor change one could be transmuted into the other which was finally done just a few years ago. (The greeks did not think the same could be done between gold and other metals.)
    Greeks were not the idiots scientists today make them out to be. Classical mechanics began with Archimedes. Most of the same things they were working on back then they are still trying to work out today.
    "As time passed, more and more elements were added ..." This is inaccurate. It was only that some actually started distinguishing and classifying the various elements as distinct from the states of matter.

    Evolution is the measure of energy where intent to build "solidity" fades. Energy always vibrates in the NOW. Quarks burst forth from this NOW, then spin as protons and neutrons with intent. The charges associated with subatomic particles are our intents to be here. Waves don't resonate into frequencies without intent. Therefore, we are building these bodies ourselves, the selves connected to these selves that vibrate a whole lot faster. Apparently, existing as holograms means that we vibrate an amazing amount of frequency bands, each one vibrating a different speed. The first intent to be here starts at the 12th frequency band, which could be said to vibrate 12 times faster than the 1st. People vibrate as 4 frequency bands called solidity including our minds, or the one mind that we use. The next 8 frequency bands leave these bodies, or more correct stop resonating as frequencies.
    I have read in the "Holographic Universe" where one physicist said that God must be the holographic saturation of waves that we exist within--full of an unlimited amount of frequency bands or dimensions. This would explain how we are holograms because energy vibrates as electrical charges which form images--which is solidity--us.

    QUARKS DO NOT MAKE SENSE - or the 3rd quark is REALLY weird.
    Proton = 2 up , 1 down quarks. Neutron = 2 down, 1 up quarks.
    So the difference between the two is the 3rd quark.
    Both the proton and neutron, have one up and one down quark.
    That leaves the difference between the proton and neutron as the 3rd quark.
    So difference between a proton and neutron is due to whether the 3rd quark is up as in a proton, or down as in a neutron.
    So, if that's true then:
    The third quark determines these things:
    If it has an up quark - proton, then the particle is immortal.
    If it has a down quark - neutron, then the particle decays in 10 minutes. EXPLAIN
    If it has an up quark - a proton, then the particle has less mass then the neutron.
    If it has a down quark - a neutron, then the particle has .1% more mass than the proton.
    So the down quark weighs .1% more than the up quark. EXPLAIN
    Quarks have no measurable physical extension, and seem to exist at points. Yet that single point does all this and more. EXPLAIN
    The proton has an up quark, and that magic third quark also determines half of the electromagnetic force in the universe. And it in no way is like the electron, the other half, except in being an opposite charge. EXPLAIN
    The electron is one full charge, the magic third quark is 2/3+ charge, but somehow it determines all positive charge (and the 1/3- charge of the neutron's third quark determines all zero charge particles.) EXPLAIN.
    When three quarks team up only a small part of the proton's mass comes from the masses of the quarks. Most is binding energy. So that third quark has virtually no mass but can do all these magic things. EXPLAIN.
    Quarks interact strongly and link in twos or threes to make particles such as pions, protons, and neutrons. Yet the other half of the charge world, electrons, does none of these things. EXPLAIN
    Physics is a science of pairs. For every particle there is an anti-particle. Virtual particles come in pairs. Spin, waves - destructive and constructive interference, etc. In these cases the pairs are virtually identical and or mirror images of each other. So why would electromagnetic charge have electrons and protons so different from each other, and in no way seem built on exact opposites, or mirror image opposites. EXPLAIN!
    Particle wave duality includes atoms, electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks and gluons.
    Now imagine a nucleus of deuterium, that has no particles only waves
    that include in the nucleus of the atom, a proton wave, neutron wave,
    6 quark waves, plus gluon waves. EXPLAIN.
    Proton spin crisis. EXPLAIN.

      @@phencyclidine5456 You're Amazing. To quote Voddie,
      “The Bible is a very reliable collection of historical documents, written by eyewitnesses to the events, while other eyewitnesses were still alive. The events which the authors wrote about was divine, rather than human in origin, and were guided by the Spirit of God (Voddie Baucham, Why you can believe the Bible, Sept 11, 2104)
      First, “The Bible is a very reliable collection of historical documents….” The Bible consists of 66 books, written by 400 separate authors over 1500 years. The collection of documents that we now know as the Bible has been and remains, without a doubt, the most accurate source of historical evidentiary documents in the history of humanity. No other single document comes even close. Every single archaeological dig in the Middle Eastern world has confirmed the historical accuracy of the Bible. For example, up until 30 years ago, there was some debate as to the historical fact of Pontius Pilate. However, an archaeological dig in Lebanon uncovered proof that Pontius Pilate was indeed the governor of Judea during the time of Christ. The Bible has been carefully written and rewritten several thousand times, and yet there are only about 60 words in the entire Bible that have been questionably translated for more than 2000 years. No other historical document known to humanity has that kind of accuracy.
      Moving on, the Bible was written by authors who were “eyewitnesses to the events, while other eyewitnesses were still alive.” This is notable for two important reasons. First, as Peter said:
      For we have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2 Peter 1:16, KJV)
      The authors of the Bible were not making up a “cunningly devised fable” but were eyewitnesses to the events that they wrote about, or they were interviewing eyewitnesses to the events. Peter reaffirms his eyewitness encounter to the events of Christ, his life and ministry, his crucifixion on the cross, his death and his resurrection. In Corinthians, Paul outlines the number of people that Christ personally appeared to and put the count at over 500. We have many other places throughout the Bible that discuss eyewitness accounts. Luke, for example, interviews many of these eyewitnesses to ensure that there are historical documents (which we know is the books of Luke and Acts) that would give testimony to these eyewitness accounts throughout the ages.
      Not only are these eyewitness accounts, but the authors wrote these accounts while other eyewitnesses to the same events were still alive.
      That’s important because it is noteworthy that we can find no historical evidence that other eyewitnesses disputed any of these eyewitness accounts.
      This can and often does occur in a court of law when the judge and jury are trying to find the truth. But in case of the Biblical eyewitness accounts, again, we have no evidence of any contradiction among the eyewitnesses to these events.
      Finally, let us take note that the events that these authors wrote about were not merely human events; instead, they chronicled divine events. Clearly, the authors knew what they were writing about were “acts of God”, not merely chronicling some human story, although humans certainly were involved. But first and foremost, the authors of the Bible knew they were chronicling divine events and were guided in what they wrote by the Holy Spirit; the Spirit of God.
