      At around the 2 minute mark you say "an hour is just an arbitrary unit of time"
      Ive heard other science youtubers say similar things. That whilst mass and length have standard measurements now, and smallest possible units, based in physics time does not.
      But surely...
      If the plank length is the smallest possible division of space
      And the speed of light is the fastest anything can travel through space
      Then time can be measured and given a smallest unit in terms of physics.
      The time it takes light to travel 1 plank length in a vacuum.
      Nothing can travel faster..so no possible shorter time there.
      And nothing can move a lesser amount. You can move half a plank length. So no shorter time available there
      So then an hour could be defined in terms of those units.
      The time it takes light to travel x plank lengths in a vacuum

    Every time I reach the end and see that "Written by Leila Battison" line my mind melts indeed. For there is undeniable beauty in the clarity of the exposition, rythm in the preposition starting sentences, intensity in the moments of personal revelation scientists had in pursuit of abstract thought.
    I like Matt O'Dowd dynamic and informal delivery, Sabine Hossenfelder's sharp no nonsense style and this pieces reach a height of litterary perfection to complement them.

    I wish this series was required viewing in high school physics classes. So much of how physics is taught is geared only towards the rote memorization needed to pass exams not on understanding the context, framework and humbling beauty of our universe.
    It seems to me much easier to memorize the details when you have the context of a story to hang those details on.
    This series is pure poetry.

    Well researched, well produced. Bravo!
    I may well represent too small of an audience to justify targeting, but if you want details about one audience member, here ya go. I'm not learning much anymore from "science for the public" material, but I'm not yet able to comprehend research papers -- not in theoretical physics anyway. Therefore my interest is in material that is, as I like to phrase it, "above my head but not out of reach". I want material that helps me finally read the research papers myself (or at least modern renditions of older papers which use updated graphics and naming). It's tough to survive in your field, so I don't mind if you target a larger audience instead.

  • @syntactyx
    @syntactyx 3 года назад +6

    Liked and subbed. This was such an ambitious undertaking and an incredible debut on RUclips. My recommendation would have been to explore in greater depth the role of cosmic background radiation in reifying the veracity of a hot, compact early universe, rather than just seeking to tackle the currently unknown (and possibly unknowable) nature of the planck epoch. Additionally, from what we know from the cosmic background radiation, the key to understanding the universe before the recombination era and all the way down to the planck epoch could lie in the cosmic neutrino background - something predicted to exist, but so faint and low energy it is almost impossible to detect. Perhaps these important ideas could be covered in the next video. Thanks for this. Brilliant work.

  • @Hisu0
    @Hisu0 3 года назад +5

    Somehow, when touching the subject of the observer effect, science communicators NEVER address what does it actually mean to detect a photon, that on this scale, there is no such thing as passive observation, so you literally have no other way to detect something other than have something else interact with it in some way, which IMO is a serious oversight, as people hearing that, but having no experience in physics, imagine the future of the object being changed by looking at it. Then, it gets developed into various "paradoxes", like wave-particle duality, when in actuality, there is no such paradox: the photon is simply what becomes of an EM wave when it interacts with something, and us looking at it has nothing to do with it.

    Every time I listen to someone talk about the first micro-moments of the universe, all I can think about is what happens in video games when you spawn (place) a bunch of physics-simulated objects in the same spot. The rules bend, and everything moves apart at impossible speeds.

    A great video, but I'm disappointed that this video continues the misconception that quantum computers are a "next generation" of computers and a move away from shrinking components, making it seem as if they are universally better than traditional computers. The reality is that quantum computers are only better at specific types of problems, and hardware research is certainly still attempting to shrink the components of traditional computers by attempting to use alternatives to silicon that can avoid quantum effects at smaller scales.

      okay, well, I'm by no means a computer guy, but; and know, I'm by no means trying to say your opinion isn't valid; but, I think, from what I've heard is that quantum computers do it different...
      like.. sure, we will make smaller and faster um... silicon? ones, but, they, with our current knowledge... are limited to a set way of running.
      ours run on 2.. (okay.. 0 and 1... ) but like.. I guess they said quantum is like 4 or some shit...
      again, I dont know... but... this isn't petty hrrrrrr car run on lightning over car run on bio mass..
      this is... we know numbers... and this is them... 123456 vs... oh heck... there are like... numbers outside of the cardinals?
      While.. yes, I am weary of quantum computers.. you can bet that they will bet the shit out of our current rigs...

      @@faulkgough1768 i understand where someone not versed in algorithms would think this, but unfortunately it's not like that. Traditional computers approximate what we call a turing machine. We have proven that some problems on such a machine can be done in what is called polynomial time, meaning the runtime scales linearly with the size of the data (these problems are called class P). We believe (but haven't actually proven yet for all of them) that there are others that can't be done in polynomial time on such a machine. There are many classes of these but the one we care about here is NP. These are infeasible to run on traditional computers over a certain data size.
      Quantum computers approximate a non-deterinistic multi-track turing machine. For P problems, we have proven it is no better than a traditional computer. However, for a subset of NP problems (called BQP), we believe (but again haven't proven) that quantum computers can run these in polynomial time while traditional computers can't. This is where they are useful and needed.

      It opens so many doors, so many possibilities. And it's perfectly fine to say "We don't know (yet)" - it's better than relying on the notion of a creator for which there is absolutely zero evidence. Faith:= Belief without evidence.

      It's possible to have faith in God while also having awe for the universe. Both faith and science will always leave humans with questions that can never be answered.

    So much time and effort trying to understand the first measurable moment of the universe, but I think an infinitely more important question is what happened before that first moment. What caused that energy to exist in the first place? Why are the laws of physics what they are?
