  • Science really is everywhere! From the Big Bang to quantum mechanics to free will to ice skating, we explore it all featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, theoretical physicist Brian Greene, neuroscientist Heather Berlin, rapper Baba Brinkman, and Olympic silver medalist figure skater Sasha Cohen.
    Recorded live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on March 9, 2018
    Note from StarTalk Editors...
    For further reading on the complex topic of ice melting under pressure, Dr. Tyson recommends the following two scholarly articles on the subject, one on the general topic of slippery ice (www.dropbox.co..., and the other on the Capt. Robert Falcon Scott expedition to the South Pole (www.dropbox.co..., whose diary entry noted, "The (ice) surface, lately a very good hard one, is coated with a layer of woolly crystals [...] (that) cause impossible friction to the runners. God help us, we can’t keep up this pulling, that is certain.”

      Joe Chang First of all, improve your grammar. Second of all, your supposed genius is a failure to recognize your ignorance.
      If things traveled through space instantly, this would break all laws of causality.
      I would like to note a flaw in your reasoning.
      Is there not space in between particles? Should light instantly travel that distance?
      Should electrons be able pass on light with their universal repulsion force instantly?
      If so, than the speed of light should always be infinite.
      If not, than what is the delay?
      I would like you to think about how long it takes an electron to transmit light and why.
      I would also like to add why does light reflect off of objects?
      It is because they have momentum and therefore cannot travel at a infinite speed or would have a infinite momentum, destroying all of reality?
      What about the microwave background radiation?
      Shouldn’t there be none if light travels instantly across a vacuum?
      If Joe Chang isn’t the person who posed this 1st grader hypothesis then I am sorry for posing you as the idiot, I guess we can laugh about it together.

      @jan675 3 года назад +5

      The thing is, that saying you want to be a educator also implies that its not just about the laughs. I find it slightly disrespectful towards the people that are invited to tell their stories and share their own insights, to then basically just not listen to them.
      I have enormous respect for Neil and his knowledge and skill to share it in a story telling way, but that doesn't mean its always done perfectly or that people cant point that out.

The article I read was published in March and at that time they hadn’t decided on a date for cosmos... but it’s been a few months, and barring any other women coming forward with allegations, it a new date has likely been set.

    ~34:48 Greene is answering the question as if it was: "according to understood physics principles, does free-will exist?"
    whereas, and he actually began to touch on a reasonable answer, the real question was: "what does physics have to say about free will?"
    the difference in implications are, to me, the former excludes any notion of our perception on the outcome, while the second allows Greene to answer with an element of subjectivity and to bring in aspects of general-opinion. (people tend to believe they have free-will).
    In his answer, Dr. Greene brought up the topic of the superposition of electrons. He could have mentioned that when observing a body moving through space it only resides in one given location, despite occupying a 'field' (like an electron), and that a rational individual occupies a 'field' of uncertainty before making a decision. The time-location before a decision is made could be seen as the arrival of all the previous decisions and subsequent outcomes at that location. Then, when attempting to determine what decision has been made by an individual, as humans and/or neutral observers, we cannot know the specifics of that choice until after it had been chosen. To elaborate, other people cannot 'see' our thoughts, but they can infer what kinds of decisions we make by observing our actions, and through this observation can come to an understanding of what decision was made. If you put a dollar on the ground, and watch someone approach it; you cannot determine if they will pick it up or walk past it unless you observe one of those behaviors as it happens. The scenario in which this person has to decide is the superposition 'field' of the electron, with a notable 3rd alternative; not seeing the dollar on the ground. To pick it up would be one position, to ignore it would be another, and the final is walking past the dollar bill. However, the demonstration of this decision-making cannot occur until the person acts, at which point you have observed and identified where the electron is in its 'field'. Free-will then would be the ability to act independently of the knowledge of a superposition despite residing securely within it. The individual still maintains a forward trajectory through time, the motions of this body can be traced when looking back, and also predicted when looking forward, however, the knowledge of what decision 'will' be made, in the immediate future, cannot be definitively stated until the system is observed and not in-motion.
    To summarize my point, a decision is like an electron, both reside in a 'field' of uncertainty. The position of the electron and the outcome of deliberation (decision) cannot be certain until the system is paused after some amount of running-time. The decision has its requirements regardless of the individual (pick up the bill, don't pick it up, or fail to see it), and the electron generally occupies the entire 'field' unless observed. Free-will is the ability to act independently of the knowledge of a superposition, while still under the influence of all previous decisions and forces, and the metaperspective of the decision is being able to determine which choice was made and to an extent why it was made. (the electron interacts with the forces of the atom, and at different points of time, t, can be said to occupy a given space, allowing for prediction on future positions). All possibilities exist until the decision is made, then they disappear and the system is observed as it has acted. Neil "wanted" a burger because of his nature and the nurturing he received which developed his taste-preferences.
    My analysis is flawed and incomplete, but it is an attempt at rationalizing the concept of Free-Will in relation to Physics despite the scientists' postulation that Free-Will is fictional.

    • @elroydsouza7196

      To me the limitations caused by environmental conditioning and the physical limitations imply that we have freedom of choices but not actual free will. Even if we cant think all thoughts at all time implies that we merely have choice not free will.

    • @blindlightraven
      @blindlightraven 5 лет назад +1

      @@elroydsouza7196 This is where my argument begins to fall apart. Humans do not always deliberate on every path-divergence, but they have the potential to do so. As far as we know, electrons have no consciousness, or even awareness of anything. So they cannot perceive they are in a 'field' of uncertainty. Whereas a human can choose a path of deliberation, the electron simply moves through space under the constraints of universal laws of physics.
      This gets into what ​ @James Lee mentioned, humans 'could' think about every possibility, but it is neither practical nor truly possible due to the time it would take for every 'option.'
      This is why I attempted to define Free-Will as the ability to act independently of the knowledge of a superposition, while securely residing within it because humans 'make decisions' all the time, without actually deliberating beyond instinctual desires or habits. That being said, they do have the potential to decide. Being able to 'decide' does not remove the rational being from the field of uncertainty, which might be why the notion of "Free"-Will is rejected, because we do not know the metaphysics of consciousness in the same way we do universal laws of physics and can therefore not establish a method for determining what actually makes our Will our own and independent of these external/universal forces. But at the same time, the presence of rational thought and the ability to act 'independently' is not absent from humans either, like it is in electrons. So I would argue that this baseline consciousness is what elevates us beyond simple particles of matter.
      Even if our path is guided like water in an aqueduct, the individual water molecules do not all follow a single path. They are guided by the constraints of the walls of the aqueduct. The temperature of the water and surrounding environment affects how fast the water flows and how far apart the molecules are, the width of the aqueduct also controls rate of flow. But unlike water molecules, humans have an element of responsibility to their environment and the forces that act on them. When water gets to hot, it evaporates, when a human gets hot it sweats. But the human also has the potential to realize they need to seek out shade or drink more water to cool off. The water simply follows a cycle of precipitation and evaporation.
      Yes, we are predisposed to follow a certain path, guided by universal forces, but that path is not set in stone (or concrete, as in the duct).

      And even your casually made point that 'as far a we know electrons have no consciousness' is gonna keep me up at night now wondering...but what if??!
      Also, you should check out Mark Passio discussing Free Will. His videos are on YT. His discussion of Natural Law is great too. He doesn't discuss Free Will from a physics perspective; but from a moral one. It's really interesting; as I think this aspect of free will is also important to explore. Check him out.
