    Here's a guy who has an idea that, if it holds up, will completely revolutionize mechanics, including our understanding of gravity. Naturally, it's a big fat case of Dunning-Kruger.

    You get enthusiastic revolutionaries like this in a lot of fields. It's a bit of a recurring theme in a forum I'm in relating to data compression - every one and then someone comes in with a revolutionary new idea. Sometimes their revolutionary new idea is something which can be mathematically proven to be impossible. I've come up with a few ideas such myself, but I know enough to set up proper testing and so far the most any have achieved is to very slightly enhance existing algorithms while doubling the CPU usage. Most fields now have reached the stage of maturity where the lone genius just isn't going to be enough to make an advance - you need a whole team.

    Re: about 7:40, the topic of quantum mechanics appearing late in curriculum; the physics course at the college I went to that taught the very basics of quantum physics had 3 semesters of calculus and two of physics as prerequisites for it. With the exception of electron spin, which was brought up once during the lecture about the magnetic force, the first full year of physics lectures is based entirely on classical mechanics. If it takes that much education to be able to _learn_ the very basics of the field, it's incredibly short-sighted to claim to be able to teach it with even less experience

      @guytheincognito4186 3 дня назад +1

      Depends on which level the students are going to be taught quantum mechanics, high school, university etc. Each level will have a different requirement. The teachers of highscool don't need the same education level and degree like a university teacher to teach what the students are ment to take from the class.
      The problem is when the teachers have less education into the subject than the class they're supposed to teach.
      A highscool teacher not being equivalent to a university teacher isn't a negative to the highscool teacher. But a highscool teacher not matching the standard requirements for a fully educated highscool teacher is a great negative to that teacher. 💁‍♂️

    I kind of get where these "I have a new idea that will revolutionise X field" people are coming from. I read a lot of stuff about QED a few years back. It really piqued my interest. I don't have the maths to fully understand everything, but I can understand the concepts and follow the conclusions if the maths is laid out for me. Anyway, I thought I'd found something that all the best physicists had missed. It seemed to make perfect sense, and might even be the beginning of a possible explanation for dark energy... and of course, when I asked a real expert they were able to point out why it was not correct. I had misunderstood a tiny piece of the puzzle, but one that was very, very relevant to my idea. But for that couple of days when I thought I had something, it felt great. Of course, I accepted it when somebody with greater knowledge showed me my mistake, whereas some people will just double down. But I can kind of see why they do it.
    Still, I'd rather be correct than hold on to that excitement. And I learned a lot from that mistake.

    When I was first reading (and watching documentaries, series, RUclips videos...) about QM, I was rather concerned that the concept of the tiny size of the subatomic particles _didn't_ freak me out. There were famous physicists saying that they couldn't imagine it, that trying to picture it screwed with their minds, but I could.
    Initially I thought it might have something to do with my synaesthesia. I "see" what I hear, usually music but not always, so I guessed that my "third eye" (it's how I describe where I "see" sounds) was making it up to "help". Whereas I cannot prove that to be untrue, I eventually realised that I just didn't understand enough to _be_ freaked out!
    Sometimes you just need to realise what you truly understand and what you don't. General rule of thumb - if you think you understand something declared to be difficult without such difficulty, you're either a greater than Einstein genius, or you completely missed the point. Chances are, it's the latter.

They don't seem to try and figure out how their model would actually work; instead they just focus on objections and work out models that "defuse" those particular objections. As a result, they have 30 different partial models, each addressing a different objection, but those all don't work together as a coherent whole that covers all the facts at the same time.

    I am the person described here, except, I am painfully aware of how little I know, and how much there is that I don't know. And the ass of it is, I do _not know_ how to go about rectifying this.
    About 18 months-2 years ago, I accidentally epiphan..ied my way into suddenly "understanding" a simplistic but, I worry, unfalsifiable (I'm too ignorant to know how to falsify it), conceptual framework for the universe, that for me made "sense" of the following:
    The 'beginning' of the universe
    The 'heat death' of the universe
    The continuous expansion of the universe
    Why we can't accelerate things beyond a certain point
    Why an accelerated thing would necessarily gain mass
    Time dilation being a thing
    Decay existing
    Black holes dissipating ostensibly via radiation
    And, in my attempts to undo the effects that this epiphany had upon my "understanding" of the universe, I tried to come up with some "prediction" of something that I believe should occur within this 'framework', and fully anticipated I'd discover something that would break it, allowing me to get on with enjoying popular lay people science shows and armchair philosophy, like I used to.
    I failed. I discovered the 'thing' I tried to test my simplistic stupidity with, is a thing, it has a name, zero-point energy. I was specifically hoping to find that my idea about what I would expect to find at the extremes of the small / cold of known reality were face palmingly backwards. Apparently not.
    And I genuinely don't know how to proceed. I have no higher education, I'm not remotely capable with maths, and I am very aware that I could easily end up confirmation biasing my ass into believing I'm a god damned genius, start up my own RUclips channel, and confidently spew my wooey, horse crap "science" explanation for all of reality, a fate I wish to avoid.
    In all seriousness though, I have been genuinely distressed by this. I don't even know what questions I could ask to allow me fix it.
    Well, I have two questions but I don't think they can help, I don't know enough to understand why the answers make sense.
    Why is it even a question that the expansion of the universe is a thing? I honestly do not understand why this isn't what is expected, or why anyone would expect anything different.
    Why is "gravity" a question, or problem quantum physics is trying to solve? I don't understand how those two things are connected, or why they're supposed to be connected. It's like my brain translates this as something like the idea of trying to figure out the nature of oxygen, or hydrogen atoms, using 'monsoon theory', based on how well the behavior of water in the atmosphere, relating to weather patterns, is understood.
    Like, yeah . But no. It doesn't apply to individual oxygen atoms.
    And I can't seem to find appropriately dumbed down explanations.
    If you've read this far, I'm sorry about your lack of interesting things to experience in life...
    If anyone knows of a way I can fix my brain, that isn't simply suggesting I learn all of maths and physics... I literally am not capable, try as I do, and I do try, you would legitimately be helping a fellow human in genuine distress.

    Literally in all nations you have to pay for your education yourself.
    Sure some of that money comes from people who don't get a higher education but it is presumed that with a higher education you will be earning more money than uneducated people and thus you are likely to pay more for your education (in taxes) than those people who didn't get the benefits from it.
    Maybe there's a lot more uneducated people than those with college education and in that case you could say that the people who get the benefit of higher income from education have been given that priviledge mostly by the people with lower income who do not get the benefits.
    Actually I would like to see the percentage breakdown for different countries on how much of your education you pay for yourself and how much is paid by the lower income people who didn't get the benefit of education.

      Citation needed. Yes, a college education gives more employment opportunities. But in most countries, say, theoretical physicists or professional mathematicians by and large make a pittance compared to people who go into business or industry (depends on the industry tho). So the most highly educated people usually earn actually significantly less.

    8:21 He was not wrong, you are just assuming a particulate "aether" but he said it is fields and he is right. He is wrong about everything else, but space is not "empty". The universe is a plenum. Its just called quantum fields and spacetime today.

    6:30 I dont think anyone will ever unify GR and QM. I think they're separate things.
    QM doesnt need a universe, or spacetime to operate within, the laws were very likely to already be working before our universe began.
    GR requires (or seems to) spacetime and matter/energy to operate, and likely the laws came into operation when our universe did.
    I dont think there is a single theory that encompasses both, but I also dont think I'm likely to be right about this, either, as every other physics grad I know (and just about every eminent physicist) thinks there is a unifying theory.

    Genuine, earnest cranks are a dying breed, these days. I think this is for a couple of reasons, mainly:
    1) There was a buildup of unaired crankery prior to the advent and democratization of the internet.
    2) Nearly 30 years on, this surplus of crankery has been largely depleted, mostly due to the simplicity of gaining wide exposure and the slow replacement rate of debunked cranks.
    But it looks like you found an outlier, an edge case as we say. Good for you, good for us.

    But is weight a pseudoforce? for a pseudoforce there always exists a reference frame that eliminates it globally. like changing out of a rotating reference frame can remove a centrifugal force. thats not possible for gravity. when you look at 2 freefalling elevators on the opposite sides of earth you can eliminate gravity locally by placing your reference frame into one of them, freefalling with it. but then the elevator on the other side of earth accelerates with 2g in the reference frame of the elevator your falling with. so there is no single reference frame that lets all the weight vectors in a gravitational well disappear, thus its a real force. did i miss something?

    • @user-qm4ev6jb7d
      @user-qm4ev6jb7d 4 дня назад

      I think you missed the fact that relativity uses _only local_ reference frames, not Earth-sized ones. For each of the two elevators, the reference frame that falls with it is the "true inertial", and that reference frame _does not apply_ to the other elevator, as it's too far away.

    • @DaisyAjay

      Your weight would be different in a stronger or weaker gravitational field. However, your mass would stay the same everywhere. Weight is a product of mass interacting with gravity.
      I hope this helps.

      Along the spacetime geodesic would be the reference frame. To feel ‘weight’ you’ve got to ‘accelerated’ ‘upward’ (generally by the repulsion of the electrons within the atoms of the ground) ‘against the flow’ of spacetime.

    For me it is less the accent, and more the recording environment. 3 times to figure out what he was saying.
    Edit: You get about 0.01% of mass from Higgs Field. The rest is good old E=mc^2.
    Also, he may mean spacetime rather than outer space, but he's still wrong in all the ways that matter. (If space went "around" objects, i don't even -where do those objects exist and how do they occupy volume?)
    My first suggestion to him would be: Don't measure things with your eyeballs. Do not move you thing in fluid using your arm, which is inconsistent in so many ways.

    there is no problem with time dilation (kinematic or gravitational), inertia, and the 3rd thing he said.

    Regarding quantum gravity--that really is the domain of experts, and is ofc an open problem and will be an open problem for some time, and its not getting solved on RUclips.
    BTW: special relativity is reconciled with quantum mechanics, and led to the greatest agreement btw theory and experiment in the history of Mankind (electron g-2).

    The Dunning Kruger Effect is basically pseudoscience and science advocates shouldn't be promoting it. Especially the popular interpretation as opposed to the paper.
    Firstly the whole "mount stupid" and "valley of despair" curve that you flashed up wasn't even in the paper and it's a pure pop culture invention. There are two straight lines in the actual paper. One is an x=y tracking skill and the other is a line representing self-appraised skill that intersects in the middle with a lower slope; x=y*2 -1 sort of thing.
    The authors concluded this showed the unskilled being relatively more confident than the skilled. That's a fundamenrtally unsound conclusion. It's just regression to the mean. Unless people are perfect at estimating their skill then you're always going to get two lines like that even when there's nothing of substance to observe. There was correlation between skill and self-appraised skill but, as you'd expect, those with lower skill tended to over estimate and those with higher underestimate.
    This is unsound because those with 0% skill can only overestimate and those with 100% skill can only underestimate; so you will always these this characteristic distribution when measuring something of this sort; regression to the mean.

    • @user-oj7uc8tw9r

      Textbooks have exercises, but they don't always have answers or correct answers. Textbooks also vary in degrees of quality.
      School surrounds you with like minded peers and experts along with expensive equipment that allows you to perform complex experiments.
      I suggest you actually try going to a decent college before bad mouthing it.
      You also learn much much slower without guided education.
      Fermat was, ironically, university educated and, also ironically, claimed a lot of mathematical proofs of which there is no evidence of him doing and took completely unknown mathematics at the time to prove.
      And if you think college is "pay to play" you are sorely mistaken, you actually have to pass your courses to get your degree. Colleges will happily keep your money if you drop out or never pass.
