      Medium Planck, small plank, micro plank , nano-plank, than probably plunk is this infinite small thingies namefication holds up
      The infinitesimal is an infinite, soo there will be endlessly smaller lengths found and crossed on to explain the closest approximation of really withour mere human intellect.
      Also an approximation of reality will never be the reality ( the map is not the territory)
      Because of our inability to gasp infinity in all shapes, forms an constructs, We will never be able to fully explain reality / the universe.
      Also in my humble opinion every thing around us has a piece of 1 or more infinity’s with it while co-exists with the undeniable entropy in our systems.
      On these the cross roads of infinite and entropy things all things become chaotisch , Emergent, changing..and (what might seem contradictory):
      Sentient, not self-aware but more selfreferal in processes.
      Sentient here meaning more how a star or a galaxy could sentient (which is for now also beyond our understanding in our approximation of reality)
      My humble conclusion: because of the uncomprehendingly of infinity mix with certain entropy our universe /reality will/can never be fully know.
      But with scientific principles and lots of theoretical and practical experiment, we might give the best hypothesises / educated guesses.
      Science will alway be malleable, should avoid to become dogma,
      Or a belief in objective truths.
      Science should be tool !
      To formulated an idea : to measure the outcome (2x) and then hypothesis what’s this could mean. (Preferably without a value-stamen)
      The scientific methode is the best we have for now.
      And I’m all happy for it..
      Maybe the friends were the algorithms we found along the way.

    I'm glad you clarified that things can still happen below the Planck length. I also like that you suggested a minimum nonzero radius for a black hole. Although I think most physicists suspect a black hole doesn't really have zero radius I find in many discussions of black holes they claim it does have zero radius. I wish they would state what they believe instead of misleading people. I also dislike the habit many people have of referring to a black hole's size as the size of its event horizon. A black hole is actually much smaller than that.

      I agree, Bruce. Claims that the final scrap of stellar core is zero radius does nothing but confuse. And the problem with the event horizon measure is that we think of it epistemologically - in terms of our perception of black holes - rather than the object in itself.
      I've not seen a video dare to take this subject on but it seems pivotal to understanding the BB and black holes (if they are not the same thing).

    • @enterprisesoftwarearchitect

      Charged black holes may in fact be naked singularities (Reissner-Nordstrom metric) … we just don’t know. But because QCD calculations are on a lattice, there is reason to think that we’ll start to see new physics if we get down to 10^-20 cm. Physics may break down long before we reach the Planck length!

      Well the black hole *is* the region below the event horizon. The radius of a black hole is the Schwarzschild radius.
      What I think you meant is the Singularity. It is not known if the mass is actually concentrated in a singularity (most likely not) or compacted to plank scale lengths.
      Edit:
      Or were you refering to the fact that the radius in the Scharzschild metric is actually not a real distance?

      That's physics. It has a tool, it uses it, doesn't make any assumptions. It tries it's best to not create unnecessary world views. But usually when you hear "planck lemgth is the limit", you don't think that it's the limit for current physics tradition, you think it's the actual objective limit, that something objects to dividing past that.
      Honestly i don't think the gravity vs. quantum will keep up for long we'll have anpther system for sub planck length physics. It's just gonna be a superstition...

      I am having some trouble understanding this at the moment. But I had dome some work in this area in my notebook a while back. and a whole bunch of physics formulas come falling out of various descriptions of particles with the planck energy. The trouble is now how do we describe space-time. one such equation is both compatible with E=mc2 , the hawking equation, defines G in quantum terms and can by plugged into GR and the Shrodinger equation, and is the compton wavelength equation and the schwartzchild radius. the trouble then is half of these use one description of spacetime while the other half use a different one. There seems to be no way to reconcile the two. It is our decriptions of space-time that are wrong. Everything else is mathematically self consistent across many branches on physics.

  • @xcoder1122
    @xcoder1122 Год назад +4

    This video treats gravity as a force but as far as we know, it isn't. Gravity is an effect of space time curvature. And not being a force, it cannot be unified with other forces. There may only be conditions at which spacetime is no longer curved and then gravity would go away but not because it got unified, but because if there is no curvature, there is no effect that we call gravity.

    One thing about the Planck Length is that if it's the smallest length available in spacetime, then that solves the singularity problem in black holes and the Big Bang. If a singularity is a divide-by-zero error, then having the Planck Length as the smallest length solves that problem, as there is no zero lengths to divide by.

      Yeah. It makes sense. Physics is basically a computer simulation of reality and it has a resolution in the "length" data type. You can't reasonably model things that don't fit in your model as you have limitations like the gravity at that length.
      Modeling things by putting them into formal systems with numbers representing things is a base of both science and of computer use.
      On another coincidence, the value of machine zero for double is 2^-31. I believe the Planck length in meters is like 2^-40. That has to mean something.

    @3:00 this is a critical point, the Compton wavelength is certainly *_not_* "purely quantum mechanical". The mass is gravitational charge (or inertia, but then there's the Equivalence Principle), so it is a relationship that involves gravity. GR is already a quantum theory imho, just not classically, since classical GR presumes trivial spacetime topology (locally Minkowski) which is fundamentally wrong-headed. Any spacetime containing matter cannot be locally Minkowski. There has to be non-trivial topology. Provided that topology can contain ER bridges it will contain closed timelike curves, and that yields a quantum theory. The indeterminism due to CTCs is precisely the same as QM indeterminacy (gives a nondistributive orthomodular lattice of measurement propositions), only this indetermism is superior in a sense since it is explained with spacetime topology, whereas in QM it is just unexplained axiom.

    Really good video. The questions we ask are quite intriguing. We sort of assume that what we know now has some sort of completeness to it. And so we use concepts we have defined in our current understanding to also define what we expect to know once we know more. Perhaps this is the result of our advancement in using formal systems like math. I expect that quantum superposition is actually a very high frequency vibration between two states. So high in freqency that its vibration only becomes relevant when the center of that vibration is near the midpoint of what we would consider two discrete states. Perhaps quantum computers will allow us to eventually collect some emperical data on the high frequency system by keeping it in play over longer and longer sequences of interactions. So we can finally discover that it is as deterministic as everything else.

    I don’t think there is no limit to how small space can be divided into and no limit to how large it can is as it is infinite. I believe time is infinite in both directions and space is not expanding only everything tangible in the universe and the larger amount of space between 2 objects in the universe is and always was already there. There are probably trillions of universes but every possible does not exist and you do not exist in a parallel universe that’s is fiction. The universe is probably a lot larger than the observable universe.

    Going less than Planck means there is layers of space between the observer and the "matter".
    So the statement when talking about a black hole is it's relative density (xyz distances contract) goes less than Planck.
    It's mass based diameter inside the Black Hole is at least the same as the Galaxy it is occupying, assuming the galaxy has found stability.
    So a black hole is so big and hot it has layers of space between it and us the observer.
    Temperature Radio Frequency is just an assumed "smallest" window , and it does not consider the actual compressed space density of said photon (how hot it is) , i.e. how much space is compressed inside that Planck length of Big Bang expression that every full phase cycle produces (on and off) in our visible space.
    1c==1c^2==1c^3
    distance==mass==temperature
    That's relativity, the standard model.

    The Observer Calculus, I conceptualized a few years ago, points to space being infinitely divisible.
    Forces with ratios such as Q^2/D^2 contain an aspect of curvature.
    Truly continuous smooth curvature in turn, requires unending divisibility.
    The trace of F = Q^2/D^2 is a continuous curved structure with an asymptote when approaching zero length.
    The Universe isn't going to supply a particle with infinite energy.
    A regulating flexible spring-like force of allowable energies governs or maintains the ∆ range.
    If space-time is continuous rather than discrete it would be far more
    energy-information efficient, locally, not to mention across the entire Universe.
    This relationship suggests singularities don't exist.
    Everywhere (spring-like, flexible, bendable, deformable) forces and fields exist or can exist, requires continuous curvature, and thus continuous space-time

    The fact that the plank length is smaller than any possible wavelength that a particle can create proves that gravity is created by complex wave patterns interference patterns affecting the fabric of space-time making it weaker. This causes the two bodies to be pushed towards each other from the stronger pressures of space-time outside the interference patterns. Quantum particles are not affected as they are too small. Also the more I research gravity and time the more I realize they are exactly the same and we perceive them differently as two separate things.

    6:31 "The geometry of space in general relativity theory turned out to be another field, therefore the geometry of space in GR is almost the same as the gravitational field.” (Smolin).
    In "GR was QG" there is no problem with empty space, since the real variable gravitational field of any physical object is identified with the phase space.
    Consider a special case: the Universe.
    Expansion is a special kind of motion, and it seems that the Universe is a non-inertial frame of reference that performs variably accelerated motion along a phase trajectory, and thereby creates a phase space (according to general estimates, this acceleration is: a=πcH)*.
    Real gravitational fields are variable in space and time, and we can now talk about the fact that it is possible to generate a gravitational field in a non-inertial frame of reference (|a|=g).That is, finally achieve global (instead of local in GR) compliance with the equivalence principle. Then the energy density of the relic radiation, that is, the evolving primary gravitational-inertial field (= space-time): J= g^2/8πG=(ħ/8πc^3)w(relic)^4~1600 quanta/cm^3, which is in order of magnitude consistent with the observational-measured data (about 500 quanta/cm^3).
    P.S.You can also use the Unruh formula, but with the addition of the coefficient q, which determines the number of phase transitions of the evolving system for the case of variable acceleration: q=√n'=λrelic /√8λpl , , where n'=L/8πr(pl) is the number of semi-orbits; L=c/H, is the length of the phase trajectory.
    Thus, T*(relic)=[q]ħa/2πkc (=0.4K), which is in order of magnitude consistent with the real: T(relic)/T*(relic)=2,7/0,4=6,7.
    {However, there is no need to have a factor of 1/2π in the Unruh formula in this case.}
    -------------------
    *) - w(relic)^2=πw(pl)H,
    |a|=r(pl)w(relic)^2 =g=πcH,
    intra-metagalactic gravitational potential:
    |ф0|=(c^2)/2(√8n')=πGmpl/λ(relic).
    m(pl)w(pl)=8πM(Universe)H;
    {
    w(relic)^2=πw(pl)H.
    From Kepler's third law follows: M/t=v^3/G, where M/t=I(G)=[gram•sec^-1] is the gravitational current. In the case of the Universe, I(G)=MH=c^3/8πG (~ the "dark energy" constant).
    n' =4,28*10^61;
    w(pl)=(√8n')w(relic)=8πn'H; where H=c/L.
    H=1,72*10^-20(sec^-1).
    By the way, it turns out that the universe is 1.6 trillion years old!
    The area of the "crystal sphere": S(universe)~n' λ(relic)^2~n'S(relic).
    r=2.7*10^29cm, L=2πr.
    The phase velocity of the evolution of the Universe: v'=πcr/L=c/2, where c=√2(v): the "second cosmological velocity" in relation to the proto-universe.
    {In general, the masses of galaxies should be estimated as follows: M=(c/G)rv', since the evolution of the system makes an additional contribution to the overall picture, and thereby clarify the problem of "dark matter".}
    Addition
    In an arbitrary non-inertial reference frame, the equation of the total mechanical energy of a particle system is: ∆E=A(internal)+A(external)+A*, where A (internal) is the work of internal dissipative forces, А(external) is the work of external non-conservative forces, А* is the work of inertia forces. In order to preserve the mechanical energy of the system in a non-inertial frame of reference, it is necessary that ∆E =0, however, in an arbitrary non-inertial frame of reference, it is impossible to create a condition for fulfilling this requirement; that is, ∆E does not =0 in any way (by the way, in system C, the condition for fulfilling the laws of conservation of momentum and angular momentum does not depend on whether this system is an inertial or non-inertial frame of reference).
