    Welcome to the March 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number - based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good - and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
    Also -- thanks to Patreon supporter Siddhartha, we now have a Google Doc that includes all of the AMA questions ever asked, and their answers. It will remain linked at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar of the podcast website. So now you can search for past questions and answers!

    I have been asking physicists the same question for more years than I care to remember, and have you to receive a consistent, or even clear, answer: "What is energy?"
    It's no good telling me energy is a capacity to do work, since matter can't be made of a 'capacity'. For the same reason it can't merely be a calculating device (which response several physicists tried to palm me off with a few years ago).
    No one seems to know...

      Energy is an abstract thing like time or thoughts. It is a unit of measurement that we use to explain interaction with particles. It doesn't comprise them.

  • @captainzappbrannagan

    I don't understand how the black hole event horizon gathers all that is internal to any item that falls inside. There would be no breakdown and analysis of what's inside an object that falls in, until it is totally broken apart at the singularity. Can someone explain how the person crossing over the event horizon and not noticing anything different has an exact copy of not just his mass and external image but all internal contents at that point?
    I also never understood the white hole hypothesis. Wouldn't the black hole's mass evaporate quickly if matter/energy was ejected just as quickly out of a white hole it was connected to somewhere else?

    • @dimitrispapadimitriou5622
      @dimitrispapadimitriou5622 Год назад +1

      1. "Black hole complementarity" is only a hypothesis, a speculation. It has been proposed as an attempt to resolve the black hole information loss problem with not much success.
      It does not fit well both with quantum mechanics ( e.g. with the no cloning theorem) and with general Relativity and it has some absurd implications, like the infamous "firewall" issue.
      Some physicists still believe it, but others don't.
      2.White holes are very improbable to exist, as they're (a) at odds with the 2nd law of thermodynamics, (b) unstable when surrounded by matter and (c) there's no physically conceivable process that could have created them in our universe.

    i'm pretty sure oil is hydrophobic. as per everyday experience, oil and water repel each other. as molecules, they energetically favor being in the company of their own kind. as fluids, they favor minimizing the surface area of the interface between the two. so oil globs submerged in water favor a spherical shape. and oil spherules favor merging to form bigger spherules, because the resulting surface area is sub-additive. in a vessel an oil glob will especially favor merging with an oil layer where the sub-additivity is maximized. still, i'm at a loss as to how to explain all this from the viewpoint of maximizing entropy. halp?

    • @koolguy728
      @koolguy728 Год назад +3

      There is no obligation for every process to act in a way that maximizes its entropy. Instead, it's better to think in terms of minimizing free energy. For example consider the Helmholtz free energy H which is equal to U - TS where U is potential energy, T is temperature, and S is entropy. Processes will act to minimize free energy by EITHER minimizing U (by minimizing, say, hydrophobic interactions with water) or by maximizing entropy S. But maximizing entropy S becomes more important for minimizing H as the temperature of the system, T, gets higher.
      The result is that you have phase transitions as temperature increases, at low temperatures it's important to minimize U while at high temperatures it's important to maximize S. Hope that helps a bit

      ​​@@symmetrie_bruch I think what he most likely mean is that when he found out about Black hole he thought they could grow! now there's a difference between who knew about black hole and who didn't, like the people who proved they could grow they already had a knowledge about black hole they were studying it but this person didn't. When he first heard about it he must have thought about it like any other thing in the universe, hence a gut feeling not knowledge of actually what it is
      And it's doesn't matter if people had already proved it because he was completely unrelated to the topic until he discovered and the thought that they could grow was his own discovery.

    ... for our vote ... the black holes are not tied to space-time, because they are really 'not', and yet - they 'are' ... so, to the observer effect: they 'are' - a 'some', an 'entity'. To the natural mechanism of the workwheel, as it is - they are simply the natural reset points, that are necessary to keep the system in the balance. A free gift cleaning mechanism. Original pre-universe, as we all know, was just the pre-creation / the pre-forms to the today's basic elements / and pure: plasma, that was in the primordial, prefect balance. Similar to whilrlpools in the rivers, the black holes, and same as in bernouli's law, which basically states that every closed system will try (and make) to reset itself at the end, responding that way, to every disturbance. However it is a good start that science admits that the current workwheel system, a.k.a. the known 'universe' is a larger than a human mind can understand, in which - there is a (healthy) hope. As the whole 'system' evolves further into what is unavoidalble (and final) multi-complexity, and their expressions - mr. Sean here, is for once again correct here - it's a fantastic trip, with a lot of permissivity in it, which actually - may be the best thing around happening, and even the main reason 'because'. And also - that does not matter much 'what' the blackholes are, but it is a lot more important, what is the most neglected by the observers, and that is - what acually: we, the observers, and experiencers of the universe: are. We, as a one form, in which the universe becomes aware of itself and of it's current state, and everything else, right from - right there. :).

Hardly we see you being more than a science teacher, almost swearing on your own feet that current theories are the best explanations for the existing data. History shows us that most scientific theories are short-lived. The molecular mechanics of eukaryotic cells are too COMPLEX to be explained by a young universe 13.7 billion years old. Most galaxies (the tips of their arms) take about 1 billion years to complete one rotation. How did a structure as stupidly COMPLEX as the Milky Way make only 13 complete rotations?

      I don't think you understand how science works. Science is LITERALLY an optimized, effective way of being critical and sceptical about current theories. At any given point, our best current theories are the best theories and models that we have come up with so far, where best means matches and predicts observation. And at any given point, scientists are working at invalidating current theories, either by finding observations that doesn't match the theory or by coming up with a theory that matches observations even better. Simple as that. There is no appeal to authority, no theories that are sacred. The most observation matching theory wins.
