    Just an update - This video was shot in 2005. The Large Hadron Collider started in Sept 2008. It has been 12 years since the Supercollider started and sadly it hasnt found anything that supports String Theory in its current form. Beautiful idea, but still a long way to go.

    The only reason I ever got into theoretical physics was because of Brian Greene. And it was very random, too. Back in 2000, I was home, channel surfing at like 1am and I just happened to settle on a UHF channel and it was Brian Greene, giving a talk at a bookstore while promoting his book, The Elegant Universe. He started talking about string theory and I was hooked ever since lol.

      I recently discovered Brian Greene after a random RUclips tangent.
      I was totally onboard with his presentation until the 13 minute mark. This is where I think his rhetoric completely falls apart. His argument is cyclical, not actually answering the question at hand but instead relying on his own definition to prove its validity... Completely meaningless.
      It's a real pity too, since I was so engrossed in the rest of his presentations. Unfortunately, I don't think this one holds any merit.

I think it comes from Insecurity and the need for an ‘other’ to be above us. I believe many people have replaced God with aliens.

      We will never get a proof of string theory even if it's real. This is because our brains are wired to 3d world, it can conceptualize something but cannot visualize it even if there is something beyond 3d. For suppose, there is a 4d right in front of you, you'd still comprehend the 4d object in 3d form, because your brain isn't wired to a new environment. The same goes with colors. Our retina cannot see all the colors in the universe like some animals do, so, we comprehend them to a nearer value of the color and so on.

      Unfortunately, this entire presentation is incorrect but it's not his fault. He (as well as all other physicists today) have been taught the same incorrect information their entire life and therefore believe it to be true. Therefore, the reason these principles of atomism and string theory work is bc they are the logical conclusion to the previously known and accepted theories. Our Universe and its working will never be explained using Einsteinian Physics and the idea that everything is a particle and they create "waves". It is flat out wrong. Very very few people will even accept this as a possibility let alone the truth. I don't expect this to take hold anytime soon. History will look back upon this comment and see that some individuals had an understanding of the Universe during this "present" time period.

    To me, it makes sense that dimensions exist that don’t interact noticeably with the ones we experience. After all, think of all the cell phone signals, wi-fi, Bluetooth, tv transmissions, etc. that surround us, yet we are oblivious to them. We have X-rays that go right through our soft tissue without being felt by us. Infrared signals in our remote controls. All these are constantly in our environment and operate in the dimensions we know about (the electromagnetic spectrum), but are only accessible with the aid of specially built detectors which extend our ability to detect parts of the spectrum our bodies have not been adapted to sense.
    The problem, of course, is that at our scale, there are size limits to what our specially built detectors can sense both in small scale, as well as large scale (e. g., the observable universe). It’s truly amazing the rate of change in our understanding of the universe in the last hundred plus years. Who knows what mysteries will be solved in the coming years? Fascinating!

    All things and theories aside i loved this man way of explanation and presentation, he explained in a way even a high school student will understand what he wants to say. And this brings us back to most powerful way to learn something that is ACTIVE LEARNING by teaching others complex things in the simplest way possible.

    Nikola Tesla's idea was absolutely right. He always laid emphasis on the vibrations and frequency. So the string theory based on the vibrations. He said if we change the vibrations and frequency of a particle then its all properties will also change.

      Nikola Tesla is probably one of the most brilliant and prolific minds that ever existed, but I'm pretty sure he is not the one who came up with it first. In fact, James Clerk Maxwell discovered that visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared light were all electromagnetic waves of differing frequency, and that was before Tesla was born. It is true, Tesla knew and used a lot of physics, but he was mostly an engineer than a theoretical physicist. Basically, he applied physics, and he made discoveries too, but not that much in fundamental physics

      This is far too advanced to have in a school syllabus, the level of Maths required is so advanced that even most Physics degree courses don't include String Theory. If you want to study it you'd have to do a masters in Maths, and even then you probably wouldn't touch on Superstrings. To do that you'd have to go to PhD level.
      I suppose it might be good to introduce these ideas at a non technical level in schools though, like this talk.

    • @vikrantchaudhary4946
      @vikrantchaudhary4946 6 лет назад +1

      The level of Mathematics required is available in our 11th and 12th (Matrices, partial differentiation, and many other topics). I studied few General relativity equations in 12th from Physics Olympiad books. And I was able to solve many questions related to objects at very high speed. At least a glimpse can be provided to raise interest. We do have Polymers, Crystal Field Theory in our Syllabus.

      It's a lot more than just matrices and PDEs, those are just the basic tools. On the mathematical side, you need to have a high understanding of lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism and how to quantize a classical action/Lagrangian. You also need a lot of group theory and geometry knowledge, as Dr.Greene alluded to in the video when he mentioned Calabi Yau Manifolds. On the physics side, you need to be very competent with quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, as well as electrodynamics and the standard model. General Relativity helps a lot as well. I haven't actually studied string theory myself yet by the way, but I've read into it and I've looked into what you need to know to study it formally. Personally, I've only studied as far as QM and GR, so I've got a fair way to go yet.
      But yes I agree that a glimpse would be a good idea just to spark interest.

      Yeah, I am not saying to make a scientist out of a High school kid. But telling him about Lorentz equation isn't much. I did not need the first 5 lines you typed. My idea was just in your last line. Did you study all those at once? You had a start somewhere and that's what my argument was.
      Was electro dynamics part of high school syllabus 130 years ago? but it is now. Syllabus change with time and well-educated people like you are the reason for the development of Humankind. Thank you
