    Our universe seems pretty complicated. We have a weird zoo of elementary particles, which interact through very different fundamental forces. But some extremely subtle clues in nature have led us to believe that the forces of nature were once unified, ruled by a single, grand symmetry. But how does one force separate into multiple? And how do the forces of nature arise from mathematical symmetries in the first place?

      I love PBS Space Time. My understanding of special relativity and GR wouldn’t be anywhere near what it is today without it.
      This is not a comment about today’s episode, but I realise I’m fully unprepared to detect whether they ever start to veer off into crackpot fringe physics territory. Or into crackpot “I’ve got a grand-unified-theory of everything based on a Gauge Theory but won’t publish it because the formal academic system of peer review has been institutionally captured and is keeping me down man” like I’ve seen in certain corners of the interwebs.

    • @zzztopspin
      @zzztopspin 3 года назад +42

      I think to carry this bar magnet analogy forward, consider that the symmetry could break in a different 'direction' every time - sure! That's just what it means for the system to favor one specific direction over the symmetry of all possible choices.
      What remains the same after the bar magnets cool down is that their total overall "emergent" magnetic properties have the same magnitude, no matter what direction they face. One hunk of magnetite is just as magnetic as another hunk, even if the crystalline structure formed in a different direction - breaking the symmetry in another 'way'.
      Similarly, while the breakdown of the electroweak symmetry may produce Higgs particles in one trial of the experiment, Z bosons in another, and purely photons in another trial, they all end of having the appropriate masses. In the LHC, zillions of trials are run basically simultaneously, so the restored symmetry of Electroweak becomes the broken symmetry of the Standard Model.

    I always wonder if the scientists that studied the weak interaction at first were aware that this interaction was indeed a force that can push and pull things. And not just transform.
    As I understand it it is extremely difficult to measure the actual force of the weak force because it is almost always eclipsed by other forces like electromagnetism.

    • @zzztopspin
      @zzztopspin 3 года назад +15

      I think you're right! When I read about experiments that attempt to observe the elastic collisions of neutrinos on giant tanks of some material, what they're looking for is a weak interaction where neutrinos trade a W or Z boson with some material. It's super uncommon, but with the right setup the weak force is a force all the same!
      I think when W bosons are transmitted, you can expect a particle like a quark to change flavor, often from down to up while also elastically colliding, but weak neutral current uses Z bosons, which carry spin but not (electric) charge. With Z bosons the weak force can be communicated without the same kind of flavor change.

    The best proof regarding quantum electrodynamics comes from ontology:

    2. Quantum electrodynamics has a pretty cool abbreviation.

      you don't need lie groups to understand it.
      you start with the klein-gorden equation (a linear complex field) and then add a new term to the Lagrangian (the mathematical thing you use to produce the equations of motion, classically you literally just do L = kinetic energy - potential energy) that is quartic rather than quadratic in the field. This allows a potential energy that looks like -r^2 + r^4 rather than just +r^2 (plot it on desmos or something) and the field "drops" to a lower potential state, from the plot you can see that the initial state r = 0 was symmetric when you rotated the system (similar to phase transformation that is mentioned, but this is a *global* symmetry so is not as profound) but the new state won't be. (note the +r^2 potential always has its ground state at r=0, a vacuum, and there is no other such state)
      This is all well and good but when you combine the complex field with a gauge field (literally by adding a vector potential to L). you will see that you can make a gauge transformation that "compensates" for the broken symmetry *locally*. The result of all of this is that the complex field loses a degree of freedom , the gauge field gains one (photons, which are not the result of a broken symmetry have 2 polarisation states, but W bosons, for instance, have 3 spin states) and also its dispersion relationship changes from omega^2 = k^2 (massless particles) to omega^2 = k^2 + M^2 (massive particles). The mass it gains is related to the mass that the scalar field has, and the mass of say, the Higgs boson (a scalar field) can be predicted.
      as a motivation for why symmetry is important, any foundational physicist worth their salt can, given the symmetry group of the standard model, derive every equation they could possibly want, the only other thing they need to do is measure constants (like the speed of light or plank's constant).

    11:50 "s(1) field" means U(1) field? Btw, since U(1) × SU(2) ≅ U(2), does the combined U(2) correspond to something meaningful?
    EDIT: replaced equality by isomorphism.

      It looks like that spot in the video has "SU(2) x (U)1", and I don't ever see U(2) or S(1) written.
      The SU(2) x U(1) is the only way to write out the electroweak force, and the 'cross' operation is always required. I've never seen it written as, say, a single term.

      @@zzztopspin Is it really the Cartesian product? Then the isomorphism holds. Mathematically, SU(2) is isomorphic to U(2)/U(1). The latter can be interpreted as "U(2): anything unitary on a 2-vector base, /U(1): but ignore global phase shift". Now the isomorphism I gave is basically just the same in reverse, reconstructing U(2) from SU(2) and a global phase. Note that "phase" is to be read as mathematical explanation of the isomorphism, not something physical.

      @@cmilkau I think you're interpreting this quite mathetmatically!
      You probably know more about Lie algebra than I do, but I think it's important to remember that for physics, models of math (Gell-Mann matrices, Neother's theorem, etc) are often developed "so that" the empirical data can be explained.
      If a unitary matrix in general has a determinant with magnitude 1 (complex or real) but a special unitary matrix has determine of 1 (real only) then these ideas would have a significantly different realization were they applied to the empirical world.
      As for your question about if it's REALLY the cartesian product, I can't say I understand what you're asking! At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure the laws of physics at large govern the particle interactions in a clear cut way (I'm not saying deterministic), so that whatever math the particle physicists are using is probably the way to do it. Until we get a working theory of quantum gravity, that is!

    So... in layman terms for someone like me that needs them... When the electroweak field was unified it had the 4 massless bosoms, but when it "broke apart", breaking the symmetry of the field, it gained bosoms with mass?
    Please someone tell me if my understanding is correct xD, I think the idea in itself is pretty fascinating and I want to properly understand it.

    Why do physicists talk so weird? “Symmetries” are said to exist when particles look random; symmetry is “broken” when they all look… symmetrical… argh!

    • @garethdean6382
      @garethdean6382 3 года назад

      Because that's what symmetry IS. Symmetry is broken not when particles look symmetrical but when they look IDENTICAL. You're used to lower symmetry where you can divide something like a cube up into a few limited symmetries rather than something like a sphere which has infinitely many symmetries.

    • @pranavlimaye
      @pranavlimaye 3 года назад +4

      if you're talking about the dipoles analogy, we should keep in mind that the symmetry in question was related to the DIRECTIONAL behaviour of the entire system. *when all of the magnets are jumbled up,* the SYSTEM will basically behave the same from every direction *(i.e. it will be symmetric).* by contrast, *when all of the magnets are aligned pointing upwards,* the UP and RIGHT directions will behave in noticeably different ways *(i.e. the system will be asymmetric).* I think a better term for this type of symmetry/asymmetry is "isotropy"/"anisotropy", check that out on Google.
      Hope that clears it!
