Probably unbelievably confused, because as it turns out, although it may seem the exact opposite, true randomness is actually one of the most computationally intensive things to generate. A good comparison would be asking a lump of coal to permanently create a peace in the Middle East that leaves everyone satisfied.
@@sethrenville798 ? > A good comparison would be asking a lump of coal to permanently create a peace in the Middle East that leaves everyone satisfied. > i like the wording, but does it really fit here?
The most annoying thing is when particles in the left lane have some kind of repulsive force keeping them from passing the particles on the right even though the lane in front of them is clear. Slower particles need to keep to the right.
Lol. "I need slower particle to keep to the right" "Reality is not matching my thoughts" "I am experiencing the friction between my dream and reality and it burns like hell" "Erosion is a natural process occurring on earth" "I experience and feel what i believe i am." "All my beliefs are clothing and garments on myself." 😅
“Slower particles need to keep to the right” - Particles don't “need” anything, we're talking physics here! The correct way to think of it is: the coupling strength between particles and the right-pulling field differs from country to country, and even from state to state in the US. Their antiparticles, confined to the UK and some of its former dominions, Japan, and a few other countries, experience the opposite, left pull from the same field. 🤓
We can be approximated as spheres, like cows are. Hari Seldon, the great psychohistorian in Asimov's "Foundation" novel, had a much more thorough theory that treated human society as a highly predictable collection of particles. [Edited to correct the spelling of Hari.]
A Sheldon crisis happened in the initial period of the Foundation and were highly predictable by Seldon's psyco-historiography science. The entire path of human history was derailed by the appearance of a mutant person, which was able to drive other persons behaviour, mentally. At that point in time, the entire Foundation project was destroyed; Seldon had foreseen the possibility of something unforeseeable, and setup a secret Second Foundation, made not of scientists but of mentalists. Read the Foundation series, it is very well written, nothing to do with the abomination shown of AppleTV...
@@timjohnson979 You both beat me to it. This is exactly the basis for the Foundation Series books. They are now being filmed for Apple TV+. The first season was definitely okay.
This was so good. Please make some more videos on statistical physics. How it can be used to explain more complex historical, social and economic phenomena. You can make an attempt to explain how the the agent based model can help solving the non deterministic nature of fair value or the apparently randome interaction between market forces that detarmine and give birth to equilibria instead of determining a single state of equilibrium of price in a free market economy. Lee Somlin once said it was possible only in a restricted market to achieve the single state of equilibrium. He said it was not possible yet for the economists to create such a formula as the physicists, that can articulate a general rule or law. Can these findings of statistical physics be applied to other fields like history, human behaviour and human psychology, economics, chemistry or biolgy? One more video regarding this topic is the need of the hour.
I've had this happen so often that it's expected: When I'm jogging and I come upon someone walking in the same direction I'm going, even though I'm going around them, they'll move in my path. And they don't even know I'm behind them. And sometimes I'll change my path and they again move to block my path. It's happened so many times that it's uncanny.
Thank you Mr Ash. Your contribution is always welcome. My town Hebden Bridge, is going to be gridlocked for days due to resurfacing road works. It's a main road thruogh Calderdale. I'm going to observe group behavior in real time by walking walking to and from my job.
There is no escape from physics! I'm working within the realm of psychology and I wouldn't know any behaviour of humans, not being based on the laws of physics. For example, people behave exactly in accordance to Newton's laws of motion. Thanks for another great video and its effect to spread this helpful information. There's only one force behind all the varieties of forces we detect. At least that's how I experience it.
One of the most interesting videos I’ve watched recently. Love learning. Thank you science. Thank you those responsible for science. Thank you Arvin Ash
So, awesome! Nothing in this universe is disconnected, everything is related to everything in every level and all levels are connected between one another. I love to belong to a group of people that can marvel at your videos! Thank you!
Comparing aspects of quantum mechanics and relativity with everyday life and inventing analogies to better understand both is something I find myself doing often. I'm not sure of how useful it really is in my own case, but this was interesting and kind of fun too. Thanks.
We also base our life decision making on these same principle. Sometime there is a traffic jam in our life we think there is no way to open new path but if we slowly down there is always a new path.
Absolutely fantastic!! 🤩 Amazing!! Wonderful!! No words to describe it!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Can't put here the right number on thumb ups!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you so much!!
For further reading, I can recommend the book Classical Econophysics. It deals with topics such as how certain, pretty unequal, income distributions also arise from actors exchanging goods on a market - and how that inequality statistically increases rather dramatically if you allow a small group of the actors/particles to get their income from simply owning property. Quite an eye opener I’d say.
Dear Arvin, you are an amazing educator.....thank you for leanding us your sparkling intelect that we might further our undersanding of this beautiful world: truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
On Through the Wormhole cities can be compared to a heart. Arteries are the highways, the blood is traffic and even the heart beat is 2 beats per day at rush hour.
life and the universe are driven by the same fundamental laws of nature - it's not a surprise that physics is so powerful for understanding behaviour of humanns as it is powerful for describing elemetary particles.
Again, this is a wonderful, intriguing, and informative video. While my science background is limited, I comprehend the intent and subject matter presented without challenge, but research based on upon it. I should say the beauty in simplicity that seems to define the beauty in our world is refreshing. I should also add I understand the simplicity in the negative way. They both coexist, but I act on the negative and dwell on the beauty. Thanks for the video!...Again
This is a very interesting topic with many practical real life applications. Please do more. Statistics and probability are mind boggling subjects sometimes.
Humans are animals too. It's no big surprise that we would behave any differently. I like the fact that we behave like particles, I guess size doesn't matter.
you have to emphasize that the interaction between the agents is short range, while the order is long range. ppl, traffic, avalanches, earthquakes, forrest fires, stock markers, etc, very universal.
It think that the importance of the natural selection (tendency to survive) can not be neglected. The sudden and unespected change of direction of a birds swarm to avoid a predator can not be assimilated to any fluid.
See John Conway's Game of Life. Thru very simple rules it can create a great variety of "emergent" non immediately intuitive higher level behaviors, to the point of being able to solve any algorithmically solvable (computationally solvable) problem (Turing completeness).
for flocks of bird and schools of fish, would there be a behavioral difference between individuals on the outside ("surface boids") and individuals inside the conglomeration ("volume boids")? the ones deep inside see a somewhat uniform number of neighbors all around while the ones on the "surface" see more neighbors in one direction
Arvin ash i do like your video from quite long i have learned a lot in quantum mechanics from your video but now a days level of content of your video has decreased . Please continue your video on particle physics and quantum mechanics . I would recommend you to make videos on string theory and many topics like this .

Traffic jams is caused by bad city planners, and improper use of technology of vehicle flows control. 5G technology allows all car in a city to be connected with a central traffic controller computer, that would indicate each car the proper route and timing - but for some reasons, there is a lot of talk, but no action. The control of traffic in cities - traffic lights - is almost a century old. Nobody talks of implementing the proper solution to traffic jams, i.e. a centralised controller. Each car moves without knowledge of the plans of other car's drivers...
There is a huge difference with analyzing crowds vs how particles move: The crowd is build out of intelligent species with a conscious and with a certain goal. We humans were trained by teachers and parents, unlike particles. That's why I am very skeptical about any study that tries to connect those. It's like connecting the brain structure to the structure of the universe... Makes no sense (to me).
This is a great segment from Arvin. I often use the birds murmuring metaphor in discussions, and this highlights what it means to be a living creature in a physical universe while having "independent" consciousness. Note the sheep following the uniform paths...until individuals decide to cut over to the feed shed (or whatever that is). In this way, we are different from dumb particles, right?
I am not just a particle. I am also a wave form depending on how you measure my movements. However, you can only know my position or my momentum, not both.
Excellent Video! Thank you Arvin for breaking in down and giving us a birds eye view of statistical physics and how it applies to other realms. Did you and Matt co-ordinate ? Because PBS spacetime also released a video , another great one, on statistical mechanics. I suppose it Mothers day weekend a ! little known fact": Statistical Mechanics week/
I agree. I actually am working on a theory of everything that starts where it is supposed to start. All the way down from the behavior of subatomic particles to the behavior of planets and stars and everything in-between like plants and animals.
Soooo... you're going to solve what eons of smart people couldn't find out and are coming up with a unification theory that explains the quantum with astronomy? Alright, keep me updated! Also... I would suggest to start with the planck scale before rolling into subatomic particles. Are you referencing copenhagen interpretation, string theory, field theory or some other? Also, gravity hasn't been fully explained yet how that works on the subatomic level, if you have some findings on that, keep me posted please!
Where did you obtain your PhD, and in which university do you work? I'd love to hear in which institution they are so invested in a problem which I frankly believe won't be solved for at least a century to come (if ever)
@@EmileCluyse Why do you assume only people with a PHD can discover stuff? Did self taught people never discover anything before? Especially in an age where you can literally get the knowledge of any human being who made it public before you, there is no excuse other than the limitation of time to know anything and I was obsessed enough for knowledge to spend 30 years of my life doing that.

But you can do what you want, just know that no scientist will take your 'unified theory' serious.
Me too, though it is not a priority for me. My interest is the internal workings of the mind. I see many bits and pieces of how things work but have not figured out the manner of how they interact. I hope you succeed in bringing together your observations. :)
@@rhoddryice5412 I think that's confirmed. If you read the Wikipedia article on Boids, you'll see that it says, "The name "boid" corresponds to a shortened version of "bird-oid object", which refers to a bird-like object."
Thanks for this great video, Arvin :) One question (or suggestion for a future video): I've read around that Mass and Energy could be interpreted as macroscopic emerging properties of a set of many quantum particles. Eg when a macroscopic body absorbs some energy and varies its motion, the wave function of each of its consituent particles must also change to reflect the macroscopic translation in space. The fact that all the wave functions become constrainted in the same way, increases the content of energy of the body. The process of imposing the coherence of the wave functions in a macroscopic body to change its motion requires a force proportional to the number of elementary pieces (ie the mass). So the effort to reset all the wave functions in a body into a new status could also be an emerging property, ie the inertia of the body. Do you think this interpretation makes sense? Could help to bridge the gap between the small quantum world and the macroscopic reality where we live in and explain Newton's laws at a more fundamental level? Apologies for such a long post! :)
I seriously think that the day Mr.Ash does not say "That´s coming up right now!" in his video, all there is will disintegrate to scattered particles and the universe will come to an end! So please, you must say your phrase every time!
To be clear the field inside the electron will pull on the electromagnetic field.. because the field that is part of the electron will be pulling towards its center.... And since it can't pass through the electronics field it becomes condensed because because the energy that's in the field is just dense enough in the electron to trap the electromagnetic field and make it become condensed
Has there been any experiments done to make extremely busy pedestrian crosswalks segregated by direction flow (like try to keep on the right side as you cross)? I would wonder if this might make things less congested and chaotic for folks, and if folks would fall into habit of staying on one side predominantly if direction arrows were simply painted on either half side of the cross walk. [And I mean the New York / Tokyo sized pedestrian crosswalks...they are just a chaotic flowing mess]
It was a well-argued study of wealth and Boyle's Law that lit me up. Statistics rule us. Understanding that the extremes of the Bell Curve make for a chaotic social mix is to be noted. Seeking to make this completely orderly is not possible when independent agents (us) do their private agendas or discover by accident novel means to gain those objectives. You can only prepare so much to suppress variety otherwise you become hidebound and the innovators will either destroy their social order or go where they are more appreciated.
One of the most interesting videos. It’s a shame youtube allows the needle to skip on this record. Meaning sound glitches, just like playing old gramophone…
Will release a conversation about this phenomena and my analysis of the thought that we ourselves are molecules including the structures we make physically & metaphysically (society, language, mental models, focus groups, anything you could really think of really etc.). It's easy to get caught up in our own lives but trying to imagine and keep track of all data sets of events from the cosmological web scale down to the quark, gluon scale and beyond vice versa, etc. proves to be too complex for our minds to comprehend as they are either such tiny or such vast numbers. We naturally run Occam's Razors on everything that doesn't involve our realm directly affecting our instinctual lives. This realm that we are in is tremendously miniscule compared to the cosmic web, but yet exceedingly large & grand to the subatomic realm. Both of which are realms we have poor understanding of since one is beyond our fundamental limits & the other veers off into ridiculous complexity towards the vast array of spacetime & inflation. No matter how much one zooms in or out of the discipline/ focus being studied, there is always complexity. Ours takes the cake for the one a majority of humanity cares for the most since it's the most tangible/ visible one that we see. But the zoom out scales on both directions (from tiny to grandiose) still affect us & yet we have the ignorance of being molecules in a petri dish not knowing how to comprehend a universe outside of ours. The way i see it is, imagine how hard it would be to explain to a 2 dimensional sentient being how 3 dimensions look, feel, and work; they were not designed to think in that realm, only 4 quadrants ( up, down, left, right) which says a lot about realms we are not familiar with but yet have an influence on us, do we turn a blind eye or try to rationally understand only what we need to know to improve our understanding and relationships on this plane of existence?
There is definitely no free will possible. There is a so-called illusion of free will, but it isn't even an illusion. No one ever actually has an observation or imagined observation of will being free. It is only ever a delusion to believe that will could be free.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself I do accept the science, but we have no explanation for consciousness either, and that seems to underpin our intuitive sense of free will.
Consciousness I think it's something that just happens.. there's even been studies showing that plants can to a certain extent seem to.. at least what we would call think.. not saying you're going to have a philosophical debate with your tree outside.. but it shows that plants can respond to outside stimuli and react accordingly.. which seems to show to us some sort of rudimentary thinking.. or at the very least the ability to recognize an outside threat or change in their environment.. and then change themselves accordingly as a response.. Consciousness is something that just seems to happen.. there's even nature cams that show that supposedly animals that are predator and prey.. do and act in ways towards each other that we would consider compassionate.. like a lion helping an emu with an injured leg instead of just eating it.
I used to believe I had the superpower of predicting what's the best way to go through, in a busy train station.. but now I think I just understand gas distribution lol
The concept of "point" is meaningless when talking about the beginning of the universe. Whatever the universe was at the beginning is still the universe today. It has expanded to whatever we see today. So the Big Bang did not occur in a point of space, the entire universe expanded. So we can point to any point in the universe and say, this is where the Big Bang happened. You can point to the end of your index finger and say, this is where the big bang happened.
City traffic planning. Playground and sidewalk design and planning. Planning spaces for anywhere that large crowds gather such as train and bus stations, etc. This is being done already.
Plot twist: Particles are actual beings doing particle businesses and they will get offended if they are told they behave randomly.

@@rhoddryice5412 I think that's confirmed. If you read the Wikipedia article on Boids, you'll see that it says, "The name "boid" corresponds to a shortened version of "bird-oid object", which refers to a bird-like object."
for humans/vehicles acting as "particles", what kind of thing acts as external influence (heat source/pressure pump)?
thank you Arvin
Quite fantastic, one of my best downloads
truly enjoyable video 👏
Wow I have always thought about this since years !!!!!!
Funny that I just had this in a little test in my studies exactly the same day you released this topic.
Community is also a particle, and when it's foundation is truth it's stability goes thru the roof!
Beautifully explained
toujours passionnant merci
I am a stick in the mud don't follow the crowd..
A refusnik..
Excellent channel thanks 👍
This video made me think of fractals…. :-)
love your video’s Arvin!
"the individual particles are bouncing like crazy"
theory of everything, right here!
Sometimes, I used to think human beings and the world we are used to, can also be strings in other dimensions.
this video relates to recent vertasium video of Statistical mechanics
But what is a particle? A wave packet in a field? Are we all just "good vibrations"?
Thanks for this great video, Arvin :) One question (or suggestion for a future video): I've read around that Mass and Energy could be interpreted as macroscopic emerging properties of a set of many quantum particles. Eg when a macroscopic body absorbs some energy and varies its motion, the wave function of each of its consituent particles must also change to reflect the macroscopic translation in space. The fact that all the wave functions become constrainted in the same way, increases the content of energy of the body. The process of imposing the coherence of the wave functions in a macroscopic body to change its motion requires a force proportional to the number of elementary pieces (ie the mass). So the effort to reset all the wave functions in a body into a new status could also be an emerging property, ie the inertia of the body. Do you think this interpretation makes sense? Could help to bridge the gap between the small quantum world and the macroscopic reality where we live in and explain Newton's laws at a more fundamental level? Apologies for such a long post! :)
I seriously think that the day Mr.Ash does not say "That´s coming up right now!" in his video, all there is will disintegrate to scattered particles and the universe will come to an end! So please, you must say your phrase every time!
I wanted this. Most beautiful video, now I can see Application in biology.
To be clear the field inside the electron will pull on the electromagnetic field.. because the field that is part of the electron will be pulling towards its center.... And since it can't pass through the electronics field it becomes condensed because because the energy that's in the field is just dense enough in the electron to trap the electromagnetic field and make it become condensed
beautiful video
So interesting. As above so below ✨️
The migrating birds video is not available in Canada.
This is a fascinating topic 🙂
Thanks 🙏
We are particles. But not just particles. Clearly all the stuff a collection of particles can do is quite fascinating and sometimes amazing.
Has there been any experiments done to make extremely busy pedestrian crosswalks segregated by direction flow (like try to keep on the right side as you cross)? I would wonder if this might make things less congested and chaotic for folks, and if folks would fall into habit of staying on one side predominantly if direction arrows were simply painted on either half side of the cross walk. [And I mean the New York / Tokyo sized pedestrian crosswalks...they are just a chaotic flowing mess]
It was a well-argued study of wealth and Boyle's Law that lit me up. Statistics rule us. Understanding that the extremes of the Bell Curve make for a chaotic social mix is to be noted. Seeking to make this completely orderly is not possible when independent agents (us) do their private agendas or discover by accident novel means to gain those objectives.
You can only prepare so much to suppress variety otherwise you become hidebound and the innovators will either destroy their social order or go where they are more appreciated.
Does the problem of statistical independence apply to this as it does to quantum mechanics?
我們在人群中行走時，通常都是無意識的在行動，像是躲開障礙物、朝某個方向前進，因此一群移動的人可以視為一團無意識的粒子，也可以用理論來加以預測。但是如果我們在行走過程中，發生需要意識來處理的事件，比方遇到朋友，我們會停下來跟對方打招呼、擁抱，這時就沒有理論可以預測跟朋友聊天的時間了。
11:28 A beautiful sheep vortex forms and dissipates!
One of the most interesting videos. It’s a shame youtube allows the needle to skip on this record. Meaning sound glitches, just like playing old gramophone…
Will release a conversation about this phenomena and my analysis of the thought that we ourselves are molecules including the structures we make physically & metaphysically (society, language, mental models, focus groups, anything you could really think of really etc.). It's easy to get caught up in our own lives but trying to imagine and keep track of all data sets of events from the cosmological web scale down to the quark, gluon scale and beyond vice versa, etc. proves to be too complex for our minds to comprehend as they are either such tiny or such vast numbers. We naturally run Occam's Razors on everything that doesn't involve our realm directly affecting our instinctual lives. This realm that we are in is tremendously miniscule compared to the cosmic web, but yet exceedingly large & grand to the subatomic realm. Both of which are realms we have poor understanding of since one is beyond our fundamental limits & the other veers off into ridiculous complexity towards the vast array of spacetime & inflation. No matter how much one zooms in or out of the discipline/ focus being studied, there is always complexity. Ours takes the cake for the one a majority of humanity cares for the most since it's the most tangible/ visible one that we see. But the zoom out scales on both directions (from tiny to grandiose) still affect us & yet we have the ignorance of being molecules in a petri dish not knowing how to comprehend a universe outside of ours. The way i see it is, imagine how hard it would be to explain to a 2 dimensional sentient being how 3 dimensions look, feel, and work; they were not designed to think in that realm, only 4 quadrants ( up, down, left, right) which says a lot about realms we are not familiar with but yet have an influence on us, do we turn a blind eye or try to rationally understand only what we need to know to improve our understanding and relationships on this plane of existence?

The model of the flock is the best part of the video for me. Ok I will try to program it in python
Excellent..... thanks.
Alas, the COVID pandemic has turned a lot of us into weakly interacting massive particles.
Just Physics ? Hmmm, Let's have a crowd impinge on a wall with two doors and see it we then get an interference pattern. Wave Particle duality ?
Outstanding.
First thing I thought of was Moriarty talking about mosh pits in terms of fluid mechanics.
Great explanation. Philip Ball, Critical Mass

Certainly can be, but not always. Sometimes the greater, common good guides.
Does this observation/explanation support free will or determinism in human behaviour? Are our actions actually emergent responses to stimuli?
There is definitely no free will possible. There is a so-called illusion of free will, but it isn't even an illusion. No one ever actually has an observation or imagined observation of will being free.
It is only ever a delusion to believe that will could be free.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself I do accept the science, but we have no explanation for consciousness either, and that seems to underpin our intuitive sense of free will.
Consciousness I think it's something that just happens.. there's even been studies showing that plants can to a certain extent seem to.. at least what we would call think.. not saying you're going to have a philosophical debate with your tree outside.. but it shows that plants can respond to outside stimuli and react accordingly.. which seems to show to us some sort of rudimentary thinking.. or at the very least the ability to recognize an outside threat or change in their environment.. and then change themselves accordingly as a response..
Consciousness is something that just seems to happen.. there's even nature cams that show that supposedly animals that are predator and prey.. do and act in ways towards each other that we would consider compassionate.. like a lion helping an emu with an injured leg instead of just eating it.
I used to believe I had the superpower of predicting what's the best way to go through, in a busy train station.. but now I think I just understand gas distribution lol
Arvind please help...
Did the universe start from one point in space, or multiple points all over the universe?
The concept of "point" is meaningless when talking about the beginning of the universe. Whatever the universe was at the beginning is still the universe today. It has expanded to whatever we see today. So the Big Bang did not occur in a point of space, the entire universe expanded. So we can point to any point in the universe and say, this is where the Big Bang happened. You can point to the end of your index finger and say, this is where the big bang happened.
But looking at the sketch you had, it seems the Big Bang started in a certain region and then expanded.
what are its practical applications might be???
City traffic planning. Playground and sidewalk design and planning. Planning spaces for anywhere that large crowds gather such as train and bus stations, etc. This is being done already.
Seems to be more about efficiency of movement of both particles and people.
Everything is governed by laws of physics, either businesses, society, everything.
No. Business is governed by crooks (with or without PhD)
