This is the kind of Q&A I have wanted for a VERY long time, where experts in one field ask their own personal questions of experts in other fields, and ever since I have discovered both Rohin and Sabine you were both the specific experts I had been wishing for. I can't tell you how wonderful this is to me. I just wish this was a more common kind of educational video format. Another good one might be an engineer and an anthropologist, or a biologist and a climatologist.
It's a fun and intersting way of understanding science and scientists. Hopefully one of the science youtubers take on this concept; I think it would be wildly successful.
@@merlepatterson Or an expert in any field with a non-expert in that field who nevertheless thinks the experts in that field are all wrong. That would be great fun.
"Physicists don't just invent something to make their sums work out..." [Einstein inconspicuously kicks his cosmological constant under the sofa.] (In all seriousness though, enjoyed the video - thanks for sharing!)
she explained in a recent video that the cosmological constant is a legit and important part of the relativity equations. i was also under the impression it had been dismissed as a mistake, but i'm no physicist, and i have at best a partial understanding of what she's on about sometimes. here's the link, if you care to try to follow it. ruclips.net/video/bl_wGRfbc3w/видео.html
@@MemphiStig Thanks for the link, but I was referring to the fact that when Einstein originally introduced the idea, he had no explanation at all as to its physical nature (not that we really have a good explanation now). Einstein just threw the extra constant into the equations because it resulted in a static universe to which he had an unscientific, philosophical attachment.
I always thought the Michelson-Morley experiment had that badass feel. "OK, so we experimentally proved that the speed of light is the same as measured on earth regardless of orbital dynamics. Go figure, eggheads!"
I thought the Doctor's questions were surprisingly thoughtful and original. His MRI experiences, 3 vs 6 or 7 Tesla magnetic fields, were highly intriguing.
Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) seems to be due to the MRI magnetic fields changing in time, inducing electrical currents. And levitating frogs, or other small (diamagnetic) organisms, is possible in a magnetic field that is unchanging in time but that has a very strong spatial gradient, where the magnetic field goes from very weak to very strong over a very short distance. But it would be interesting to know whether an ultra-strong magnetic field that was unchanging in time and spatially uniform could still cause biological effects, for example, due to Lorentz forces on the ions. At the very least, moving perpendicular to the field lines might result in some heating.
I expected Sabine to comment on how strong of a field is 7 Tesla in the grand scheme of things. Is this the order of magnitude where you expect chemical reactions would be affected?
At what magnetic field strength would biochemical effects be noticeable? Perhaps there is no easy answer as the current field interaction with biological matter is not well known. Wouldn't be the first time new technology had deleterious effects on humans. ( Xrays, alpha radiation, microwave radars.) However I am no Luddite. MRI scanners are wonderful machines. Now that we are entering the age where they are used to connect exterior stimuli to subsequent localized brain activity, it would be handy to know what Tesla strength effects this brain activity as well. I'm sure many researchers have had similar thoughts.
This was a most wonderful opportunity to be a fly on the wall, and vicariously enjoyed the interaction of two highly intelligent, articulate, and accomplished people, from different domains.
It was a much better opportunity to be a human being, watching comfortably on the computer from home. Why would you want to be a fly? You would probably understand much less that way.
@@epajarjestys9981 "If I could be a fly on a wall" ... is just a saying for " (If) I had an opportunity to see something I can't get access to..." The person was basically admiring the capablity of the Internet to share high quality knowledge from primary sources.
After getting my physics & theoretical physics BSc in the last century I applied for some medical physics roles (that in fact I never got and did something else). At one hospital for interview I was told you must never tell any doctors anything wrong (simplified is ok but not wrong) because they will remember it for life.
A more accurate quote would be : prepare yourself to reiterate the same thing ad nauseam because doctors only remember what's clinically useful. You'd think most of us have eidetic memory, but that would be wrong ; we preserve the clinically useful information, everything else goes into the working memory churner.
When I was a Post Doc from Australia in Syracuse NY, my friend who was a scientist like me but was in charge of an MRI scanner told me that when lecturing to medical students he would put a rubber tube in a lab coat pocket to mimic a stethoscope so they would pay attention. "Doctors know squat" he said. Not entirely fair as i have helped supervise medical doctors doing masters or PhD's but they take some time to adjust to the fact that the answers are not in the text books. Research is about figuring out what the question should be, and there is no guarantee about the answer, or whether you can find one. One said to me, "Give me a tough night in casualty any day." They work out in the end.
One answer I've heard to Rohin's question at 19:19 -- "why is life so close to absolute zero" -- is this: it is at the scale of cells around room temperature where various forces have comparable absolute energies. Eg, thermal energy, chemical bonds, electrostatic forces, charge transfer are similar. In different regimes one force or another dominates and the resulting systems would be too simple to host the complexity required for life to exist. "Cell Biology by the Numbers" by Ron Milo and Rob Phillips. There is a diagram on p. 159 which shows how these various force scale converge to the same neighborhood where life as we know it happens.
"Can you magnet someone to death?" "Sure thing! Just find a large enough magnet and drop it on someone." Neutrinos are my favourite particles too. (Not only because I had involvement in related research.) They have still so many mysteries that will influence our entire view on the Universe (and any sort of all-in model). We may have answers lurking there for black matter and quantum gravity.
I REALLY enjoyed this, as the Physician asked some questions that I have often wondered about. I was also somewhat pleased that I anticipated some of Sabine’s answers, largely because I have watched so many of her videos. Lol. Please do more of these.
Hossenfeld's explanations are wonderful! Also her ability to skip over things and keep the main thread of thought going. "Then what happens next, because of quantum-things, is …"
I love it, two professionals asking each other about their profession! Shows you that someone educated on one subject could not be as educated in another.
You know how true that is. My youngest brother nearly died from a infected wisdom tooth. And the issue came because he went to the hospital to get his face swelling diagnosed. It looked like he had bad case of the mumps. But Dr's at the hospital knew next to nothing about teeth. After a year bedridden in hospital on IV i convinced him to go see a expert dentist. They found the infected tooth under the gum line. Pulled it and he was back to normal in couple days. I asked my dentist how could this happen. He said Dentists and Dr's rarely learn about each others field of study. We need more polymaths.
@@ThatCrazyKid0007 Many of the explanations I've gotten are just rephrasing the question and forget to put a question mark after their own "explanation". "Because a lot of the chemistry is not happening at higher temperatures." The question still stands. Why?
Just love these videos! Sabine is so awesome and a true bare knuckle scientist, speaking frankly and making the subject so accessible. Love these videos
Red blood cells can be either diamagnetic or paramagnetic depending on whether the haemoglobin is bound to CO2 or O2. These 2 are amongst my most revered specialists in their field, it's good to see them collaborating.
Thank you guys so much for doing these two videos, I was already big fans of each of you individually, what a pleasant surprise when I saw this pop up :)
Nice, but I would prefer a Chubbyemu collab: Physicist tried to unify gravity and quantum mechanics by adding extra dimensions: _This is what happened next_
Larry Niven made a short story relating to the last question on this interview, Neutron Star. It was a pretty awesome treatment about the challenge of dealing with a strong gravity differential.
Very very good! Dr. Francis is asking very interesting questions, and Dr. Hossenfelder is very good at answering them! This is a blast, and very informative! Thank you!
I love that this prestigious institution, with its walls of books to give weight to the claim, has a broken shelf. It appears repeatedly, but to pick one moment, at 19:23 it is the bookshelf right in front of Rohin.
There are little pegs that support the shelves and there holes in the vertical sides of the book cases. I think somebody put two pegs in the wrong holes under the left side of that particular shelf.
19:17 I'm glad I'm not the only one that has noticed the strange warm tingle when you're in a high power MRI. It makes me very uncomfortable, ionizing my liquids like that.
Sabine is my favorite popular scientist. Videos like this just add to the fun. The questions in this video were thoughtfully asked and thoughtfully answered. Great to see this kind of interaction. Thanks Sabine for adding so much to this world!
Loved this, and not just because you're explaining physics as well as ever, but you're also demonstrating how to communicate what is deep and technical stuff. I also appreciate immensely how you're avoiding all the flashy metaphors just to sound cool but actually point out the areas where physicsts tend to hype where no hype is warranted other than just to come off as being the cool mad genius. You're even pointing out where other physicists would disagree with your viewpoints. All in all, thank you, Dr Hossenfelder.
Thanks Sabine for this wonderful discussion with your wonderful guest. For a cardiologist he is very well informed on elementary principles of physics. I hope get another opportunity for him to ask you more questions. Again, Thank You !!!😁😁😁
I’m so glad that that other people have the same questions about dark matter. Especially from educated people (I’m 1970’s high school and some classes). I always think we are in a thought cul-de-sac. I do not, however, think that I’m more than a basic idiot compared to the educated. Sabine is a whole lot of learning fun.
The standard model could be humanity's greatest achievement. I would call it the f**king awesome model but I love how physicists simply call it the standard model.
17:14 In response to Rohin's interruption you look shocked, as if you weren't sure whether he's joking (which, I assume, the two of you have resolved in the cut at that point).
Very much appreciate the calmness and freeing disposition you have and project regarding such specialized and complex subjects. Thanks for sharing. I'm learning so much about topics I love and want to know more about.
What Sabine didn't say: "Banging particles together at higher and higher energies, until the very fabric of space-time rips, is a game for scientists who never grew up."
Hahaha! No, if lack of fashion sense was a sign of intelligence I'd be a proper genius!! Given Dr. Francis's hair (possibly messy from a helmet) with those particular boots, my assumption is that he rode his motorbike in.
So much about this is beautiful! This is a lesson not only in two different but overlapping disciplines, but in the use of adversarial-style debate to educate and inform. To be good at this, you not only need a complete command of your subject, but also the self-discipline and confidence to risk a dent in your own image by asking a question which doesn't flatter you, but is designed to facilitate the other speaker's response. Thanks to both of you :)
You two were probably the last two people I expected to collaborate on a video but I enjoyed both of these so much. Both you and Rohin asked great questions and provided great answers. I really like this format of experts in one field asking questions to an expert in another.
Wow! This was great... Really loved listening to this discussion. Thoughtful questions - and, as expected from the great Sabine, great answers... Brilliant!
I think one of the biggest misunderstandings about science is that we “know” what anything is. You often hear something like “we used to think this, but they were wrong!” Often used as a dismissal of science. However, everything is just a “fudge to make the sums work.” All we have a models and we refine them over time to be able to account for an increasing variety of phenomena. That’s all we’ve ever had, and that’s probably all we’ll ever have. We don’t actually get any closer to a fundamental understanding of WHAT something is. The important part is having enough understanding of HOW it works to be able to make predictions.
This was very entertaining! Remind me never to get into an MRI machine when Rohin is about.
Map idea for you Dominic - a map of physics theories. There's a lot of them out there and there's correlation in them.

To be good at this, you not only need a complete command of your subject, but also the self-discipline and confidence to risk a dent in your own image by asking a question which doesn't flatter you, but is designed to facilitate the other speaker's response. Thanks to both of you :)
You two were probably the last two people I expected to collaborate on a video but I enjoyed both of these so much. Both you and Rohin asked great questions and provided great answers. I really like this format of experts in one field asking questions to an expert in another.
Just come from his video. You’re both awesome, and I’m awestruck by this meeting of two great educators. 🤩
Wow! This was great... Really loved listening to this discussion.
Thoughtful questions - and, as expected from the great Sabine, great answers... Brilliant!
Yes, this is fun, I love the clear English, the clear explanations, it is bright matter to me thank you both.
Thank you!
Great video. Was about to thank you. So thank you. But then that transition to nord vpn ad, hahahaha. Thanks for the extra laugh, was so smooth
I'm a Medlife subscriber, (so I saw part 2 first.) I enjoyed this part more. Thank you.
I didn’t know I need this crossover until today. Thank you both!
What a delight! Too bad the Royal Institute doesn't have any mirrors but nevertheless an absolute delight.
Thanks for the pointed answers below. I'll think harder. Decidedly pointy questions are better!
Truly exceptional. Thanks to both of you!
I think one of the biggest misunderstandings about science is that we “know” what anything is. You often hear something like “we used to think this, but they were wrong!” Often used as a dismissal of science. However, everything is just a “fudge to make the sums work.” All we have a models and we refine them over time to be able to account for an increasing variety of phenomena. That’s all we’ve ever had, and that’s probably all we’ll ever have. We don’t actually get any closer to a fundamental understanding of WHAT something is. The important part is having enough understanding of HOW it works to be able to make predictions.
Wait, my 2 fav people on RUclips doing a collab? I wouldn't have never even guessed this! Awesome !!
Thanks a lot for your videos. These two are no exception - both great videos, and also glad to have found Rohin's channel through you.
This was a lovely discussion. Thanks, Sabine. Thanks, Medlife Crisis guy.

One of the best discussions of the spirit world I've ever heard.
