Some people's personalities just...shine. Or rather, they shine through. One only has to watch Sean Carroll for a little while to know, to a high degree of certainty, that he is not only highly intelligent, but also that he has a wonderful wit, is a kind human being, is fundamentally optimistic, and is thoroughly unpretentious. Thanks so much for creating this series Dr. Carroll.
D'accord! Kind words. I feel glad, I discovered his chanel. I have a minor in Physics and appreciate very much, he does not shy away to use and explain formulas.
Leave questions here, over the next couple of days I'll pick some favorites and try to answer them in a separate video. (Not "ask me anything," but "ask me about stuff discussed in the video.")
First, is this an accurate statement ? - Dark energy causes the acceleration of the space-time fabric which leads to the expansion of the universe. Second - Does the motion induced by dark energy obey the conservation of momentum ?
@@jeffwatson9868 Yes, in special relativity the momentum 4-vector is conserved, meaning the local change in time of its spacial density is compensated by the flow of momentum current in every other direction. You may as well think of the change in time of the momentum spacial density, as the flow of the momentum current in the "time" direction. This conservation is applied, in a given frame of reference, to each component of the 4-vector independently. You may think of the "time" component of the momentum as energy. General relativity does not change this.
Is there a point at which physicists might come to a consensus about, physics as a field being complete ,meaning there will be no more improvements required.what should such a theory ought to explain to consider the field complete in your opinion.
Sean, please keep doing this! You truly have a gift. Love your work and your passion for educating the uninitiated. I'm 36 and deeply regret not taking physics more seriously growing up. Your lectures and videos are such a source of intellectual nourishment for me. I am a regular listener of your Mindscape podcast and a Patreon supporter. Please keep producing more work that benefits people like me who are not trained in the math but are curious about the big questions nonetheless. Cheers! Please stay safe!
I love this guy. Taking this class seriously. You inspired me to learn physics a few years ago when you got onto JRE and I haven’t stopped learning since. Thanks Sean. Also plan on purchasing your books as soon as I have some extra money.
Dr. Carroll: I just started your Biggest Ideas series, and I felt I must thank you for your hard work in producing these videos. The combination of your acumen and your relaxed, accessible presentation style, makes you a terrific educator. I look forward to many hours of learning pleasure in days ahead. Again, thanks a million!
You have no idea what a relief hearing about the spherical cow metaphor was to me just now. I have always fought with myself over the tendency to get hung up on the surrounding "whys, what if's, and buts" and the subsequent push past them to get work done. Always looking over my shoulder in some kind of dreadful way that leads to imposters syndrome. The spherical cow turns that dread and feeling of imposters syndrome into reasonable healthy caution. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you Sean. You are really leaving some wonderful things for today's generations and future ones alike. I especially like your take on the purpose of physicists and the way you have not been scared to delve into the world of the implications of quantum mechanics. There is no doubt that you will be the inspiration for countless physicists to come! Thanks again for the exceptional content.
Thanks Sean so much for this series. I didn't get to study much maths and physics at school, so this level of conceptual explanation of these important concepts is fantastic for me.
I believe 'momentum' is a measure of the effect of motion that we observe around us. This is a more intuitive way of understanding the physical meaning of momentum. Great work Sean ! 😊😊
What a splendid series, Sean! I've long followed and admired your work, and it's a pleasure to see it in this (relatively) new format, which I hadn't known prior to today. It's fully deserving of all the praise it got in the comments, and I wanted to add to it: it is encouraging to see a professional scholar trained in the sciences show such caution and humbleness when speaking of humanistic disciplines such as the history of science and the history of philosophy. There is a lot of misunderstanding, on the part of humanists, about what scientists do; and there is a lot of corresponding misunderstanding on the other side of the fence, with professional scientists saying out loud that things like the philosophy of science aren't worth their time. In times of such public distrust in expertise (whether the expertise of scientists who study viruses and the climate, or the expertise of humanists who study history and sociopolitical relations), it is important to promote mutual understanding and mutual support between the sciences and the humanities. Your attitude is a great example of how to do that.
Wow. Now that's what erudition must sew in the host: a generous empathy and indulgence of previously made errors that went unnoticed by otherwise dedicated experts simply living in irreconcilably disparate climates to our own. Remarkable.
Dude, I am 62 years old... wish back in the day I had you (if I could go back in time and you stayed the same young age your are now) as a professor. You rock! Make things understandable to most. Love the Quantum info too!! Please do more. - Tom from Skokie, IL
I want to thank you for the positive information about not giving up. I am a student of Dr Jatila van der Veen. I love her and had a great time in Astro 101. I like how I said "survive and move forward," "know learn and understand." It was helpful top hear you amd will watch some of your other pod casts. Thank you
As a non-native English speaker, I find Sean Caroll speaks one of the most understandable and agreable English I've heard from English people. Robert Eagle from Dr. Physics A channel is also very understandable and agreable. Why all English people are not physics specialists ?
Here's an unnecessary comment, but anyway... Sean, I don't subscribe to many worlds, I don't like some of your politics, you have a rather (passively) antagonistic relationship with a public intellectual I greatly admire - all things that in this day and age could be a turn off to engaging with someone BUT you really are the best, and perhaps most honest, public educator of difficult physics topics around right now. Thank-you for this series and your contribution to public science education.
Sean i came from the Joe Rogan episode where you literally blew my mind when you said that even though you make a simulation that predicts everything the choices a human make inside is totally random and still is unpredictable. It went something along those lines. That and also Laplace's Demon. I was always interested in Science but my teachers and professors made a nightmare out of it. I gave up the interest and curiosity i once had but thanks to you i rekindled that curiosity. Also i love the way you explain stiff so easily and simple. Take care of yourself in this hard times. Love to learn something new from your videos.
It'a absolutely a joy to listen to you Dr. Carroll! You are a delightful teacher of a vastly amazing subject: Physics. Once I grasp the basic concepts, I hope to study your personal theoretical work in physics too. Thank you for making this freely available!!!🙏 💕
Loved it. The spherical cow philosophy is now my favorite explanation as to why math/physics is so unexpectedly succesful in describing the world around us.
You, Dr. Carroll, are a worthy candidate to be this newest generations' "Great Explainer." Please accept this humble gift of an imaginary Spherical Feynman to sit proudly next to your Cow.
Your explanations and attitude remind me of Feynmans videos- such as when he discusses why ice is slippery and why grandma (I think it was grandma) fell on it. Like him you could explain these great concepts to a high school dropout or an advanced scholar. Incredible stuff Dr Carroll - looking forward to the next round.
Thank you for doing your part explaining complex topics and making your mark on the internet. In the information age, this will live on forever and in the future you may even be regarded as a modern Aristotle-type thinker from the 21st century. Cogito, ergo sum.
Great work sean, thank you for taking time to make these podcasts. And for educating this generation and hopefully future generations to come, thanks from Ireland ☘
It’s some 20 years ago I learned Newtonian mechanics and conservative of momentum. Physics still fascinates me despite I have left the field for more than 10 years by now. Thanks for the series. I wish this existed when I started out in my physics training. Maybe I will show this to my children one day. My eldest is 7.
This is beautiful. Im but a lowly wannabe scientist. My hero was Thomas Edison. I checked out books from my school library about him and others. Thats all I wanted to be. Now I watch this and follow your podcast and i am amazed. You became the scientist I always wanted to be, Thank you so much for sharing this with we mere mortals!!!!
17:51 - you meant to say kinetic energy is just a scalar! I don't know if youtube still allow annotations so that you can put an onscreen correction. Alas I don't think so...
Sean - I have just started reading your book on this topic, which led me to your channel. I'm a lifelong student of science and your presentation and writing style are as good as it gets in my view. I've always wondered what causes motion in the universe beyone the big bang with "force" being the answer. Even so, I'm still amazed how a sphere of pure matter with the mass of the sun but only 20 miles in diameter, can spin at 700 times per second or 44,000 RPM and where that came from. I now realize it came from a spinning super nova. I look forward to your other work and will be a grateful student.
Yes, this was fascinating! The last time I had a physics class, I was in high school,... and that was more than 50 years ago. So what I don't know about physics would fill a whole library - a very _large_ library. But this was absolutely fascinating. As you say, it's a great start to the series!
Dr. Caroll, thank you so much for your podcast, books and your RUclips channel. Love your work and thank you for being such an incredible communicator of science. All the very best to you and your family.
Awesome video! Very entertaining and educational. Loving hearing the stories of the history and philosophy behind the ideas, also love the enthusiasm for the subject!
The idea of the spherical cow and its implications (as you have explained) should be explained in the first lecture in every middle and high school. In my experience students do not see the connection between the simplified physics they learn in class and the real physics they experience on a daily basis. This makes it hard for them to really appreciate the importance of the subject of physics to their life. Thanks for talking about it.
Very happy to have found Sean’s channel. Usually I need to watch channels that have less information (colloquial sense) and have about 1037490174x more ads so see him.
I’ve only watched the first episode but I loved it and can’t wait to watch the rest you’ve released. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these.
After I get home from working at the hospital your videos really help me get my mind off of what's going on. Thank you Sean. Not that it's really relevant to this particular video but Im sort of starting to understand the concept of a superposition and that's all you bud!
I was introduced to you via Wondrium and now am telling everyone about spherical cows! Seriously, your explanations, while i mostly grasp the coattails of, give me the greatest hope for understanding at least a tiny part of the quantum world. And with a touch of humor. I THANK YOU!
The Spherical Listener. Being late to the show and coming to the realization that there are more than 20 more of these episodes, allows me to strip my mind down to the basics. When I'm done watching them all, I will add the stripped pieces back.
I reckon you could write a book from these talks. You are so good at explaining these concepts that I think if it was in book form you could reach a wider audience.
I succumbed to my strong urge of psychically giving a thumbs up at the end of the video, your excitement is really infectious Sean, looking forward to more of these :)
Pro tip: I don't know what you are using for video editing but somewhere you should be able to adjust the colours. Lower the green values, maybe cyan. That's an easy way to clean up the edges and even the light scatter. Greetings from Germany, keep it up!
Im so happy!!! Thank you for all you do and for starting here with Conservation of momentum. When Neil deGrasse was asked about the most counterintuitive, peculiar law of physics and I was wondering what will he say, that would feel more stranger to me than that. Whatever he said was not as impressive for me as to why things just keep moving unless any of its energy is exchanged and why moving through a vacuum is free. It just seems like a key to something. Well, just a minute into the video, excited to learn something! Thank you again!
Such a great presentation. I'm reading the book chapter after the video and it is helping "make it stick". Have been listening to the MindScape videos too.
I rarely ever comment on anything on youtube, but I just wanted to let you know that i LOVE listening to you. I think NDT gets a ton of admiration and praise (rightfully so) for being the best at teaching/discussing REALLY intelligent ideas to the basic public in a way that is fun, desirable and educational. But you make me yearn for more, you make it SO exciting and so easy to develop a desire to want to understand more about physics. You and Brian Greene are my hero's! I think i may have chosen the wrong field for my career! :( #iwannabeaphysicists.
What is your field? I know, I'm 2 years late, but anyway... It's almost never too late to learn something new. Cheers. (btw: sorry for nitpicking, but "heros" is plural and thus without an apostrophe)
Great video, explaining concepts with as much history as possible, using history to explain them is just the best. Thank you! You should consider guest host to take over in case you run out of time with too many projects.
What an amazing approachable lecture On a topic that unless someone maintained math physics and other acumen would potentially be in an accessible for the didactic approach teaching often takes I think about these things all the time life does not allow me to return to first principles and what a wonderful alternative to still feel like you can understand concepts when a good teacher appears Having done high school and university level physics only I can tell this series of videos is going to be extremely enjoyable inspiring and possibly very educational Apart from my own enjoyment I am certain there will be people who will be motivated in either direction to the didactics and first principles or to be inspired and some other way Thank you for this
Nice lecture. Thanks. On the very last part regarding the meeting between Aristotle and Ibn Sina, another fairly specific advantage of the conserved-momentum/friction point of view would be that Aristotle would no longer have had to rely on his hopeless air-currents theory of arrows. Instead he could have just said that air just doesn’t generate much friction, which would be easy to show empirically. I like to think that Aristotle, who was a genius, would have leapt at this insight!
First let me say thank you very much for taking the time to make these videos and share them with all of us. I couldn't help but notice you went from Galileo to Isaac Newton and skipped over Johannes Kepler. Thank you very much for the explanation on BCE and CE as this is much preferred over BC and AD. I am of course subscribed with notifications turned on and thumbs up.
In Herbert Butterfield's book The Origins of Modern Science, he also emphasizes that this change from seeing "resting" as the natural state of things to seeing motion as the natural state was a huge turning point in science. See especially the first essay in that book.
Some people's personalities just...shine. Or rather, they shine through. One only has to watch Sean Carroll for a little while to know, to a high degree of certainty, that he is not only highly intelligent, but also that he has a wonderful wit, is a kind human being, is fundamentally optimistic, and is thoroughly unpretentious. Thanks so much for creating this series Dr. Carroll.
I couldn’t have said it better.
Exactly how I picture him. Thank you !
Totally agree. Jennifer is a lucky woman!
D'accord! Kind words. I feel glad, I discovered his chanel. I have a minor in Physics and appreciate very much, he does not shy away to use and explain formulas.
He was born to teach and is splendid at it.
Leave questions here, over the next couple of days I'll pick some favorites and try to answer them in a separate video. (Not "ask me anything," but "ask me about stuff discussed in the video.")
If time is the currency of life, why should a person specialise and miss out on observation?
Is conservation of momentum also a local notion like conservation of energy, in General Relativity?
First, is this an accurate statement ? - Dark energy causes the acceleration of the space-time fabric which leads to the expansion of the universe.

Hi! How has your voyage into physics been these last four years? Hopefully you are still on your self-directed path of learning!
I love this! Great idea! It's an honor to have you here on RUclips, Sir.
I'm watching these out of order and I must say that my already high opinion of you has gone up considerably. You were made for this. Well done, sir.
I love this guy. Taking this class seriously. You inspired me to learn physics a few years ago when you got onto JRE and I haven’t stopped learning since. Thanks Sean. Also plan on purchasing your books as soon as I have some extra money.

I feel like the fact that I caught this error too means I'm learning something, lol.
@@seancarroll why is that not allowed?

Great video professor, I'm proud we are popularizing science through RUclips and other medias nowadays, keep up the good work!
This is more meditation than education. Thanks Sean 👏

Sean this is really so good. Don't have enough words for your selfless contribution in tough times. Kudos
Im so happy!!! Thank you for all you do and for starting here with Conservation of momentum. When Neil deGrasse was asked about the most counterintuitive, peculiar law of physics and I was wondering what will he say, that would feel more stranger to me than that. Whatever he said was not as impressive for me as to why things just keep moving unless any of its energy is exchanged and why moving through a vacuum is free. It just seems like a key to something.

Woop woop! I'm reading the book along with the videos. Very well done!
Sean, you the best, forever. Another one.
Me: telling myself I'm growing as a person as long as I keep watching and learning something from your videos.
Loving this new series, thanks a lot Sean. This kind of content really helps to get through our current global situation.
Absolutely brilliant, deeply thoughtful and lucid in so many ways!
Excelent content as usual, Sean! Thank you! I learned a lot, and look forward to the next ones!
Such a great presentation. I'm reading the book chapter after the video and it is helping "make it stick". Have been listening to the MindScape videos too.

like this new format thanks Sean
Love you Sean! 😍😻🐶Thank you so very much for the video!
genius of physics
Yes, Dr. Sean, I completely agree. Keep up the momentum! (as if you had a choice🙃)
Great idea for a series. Thanks for sharing.
In looking forward to watching all these videos. Thanks a lot for these.
love this new format!!
Loved it but it was too short! I would've loved to hear about Noether's theorem and how conservation connects to higher level physics.
Ok Bowser AKA King Koopa. Just kidding great comment I just wanted an excuse to say "King Koopa" lol💙😇🐼💯
I love you Prof. Carroll
Great. Very enjoyable...well done.
Physicists are the greatest people in the world. This knowledge is fantastic
Amazing. I wish I had you as a physics teacher in my middle and high school.
I enjoyed this episode very much, looking forward to the next one!
You have a truly magnificent mind Dr Carroll, not to mention a new subscriber 🙏👍
This is great, while at home, physics lessons from the greatest! Thank you !
Great video, explaining concepts with as much history as possible, using history to explain them is just the best. Thank you! You should consider guest host to take over in case you run out of time with too many projects.
Bravo, sean. Estoy leyendo tu libro y esto lo complementa, thank you y saludos
What an amazing approachable lecture
On a topic that unless someone maintained math physics and other acumen would potentially be in an accessible for the didactic approach teaching often takes
I think about these things all the time life does not allow me to return to first principles and what a wonderful alternative to still feel like you can understand concepts when a good teacher appears
Having done high school and university level physics only I can tell this series of videos is going to be extremely enjoyable inspiring and possibly very educational
Apart from my own enjoyment I am certain there will be people who will be motivated in either direction to the didactics and first principles or to be inspired and some other way
Thank you for this
For the attention of GCSE students, (17:30) Kinetic energy is a scalar. This is why we can "just add it together " :)
(Momentum IS a vector)
I love this new series. Thank you.
thank you thank you thank you for making physics easy to understand
Nice lecture. Thanks. On the very last part regarding the meeting between Aristotle and Ibn Sina, another fairly specific advantage of the conserved-momentum/friction point of view would be that Aristotle would no longer have had to rely on his hopeless air-currents theory of arrows. Instead he could have just said that air just doesn’t generate much friction, which would be easy to show empirically. I like to think that Aristotle, who was a genius, would have leapt at this insight!
Outstanding!! Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
Yay stereo! This is great, always love hearing you speak.
First let me say thank you very much for taking the time to make these videos and share them with all of us. I couldn't help but notice you went from Galileo to Isaac Newton and skipped over Johannes Kepler. Thank you very much for the explanation on BCE and CE as this is much preferred over BC and AD. I am of course subscribed with notifications turned on and thumbs up.
The original, unmoved mover! What a super bright mind, that Aristotle.
In Herbert Butterfield's book The Origins of Modern Science, he also emphasizes that this change from seeing "resting" as the natural state of things to seeing motion as the natural state was a huge turning point in science. See especially the first essay in that book.
Love what you're doing. Keep 'em coming, Sean !
