What if you don’t need to confine the energy, what if it is confined by the present scalar Higgs Field which we know is the key player in confining photons to the speed of light. If you have a dense package of energy in the nucleus of a Proton and Neutron, why would the Higgs Field not play a role in the confinement. We know that as a particle attempts to reach the speed of light the scalar field acquires immense energy, one would expect the same at the boundary of a Proton Nucleus. That scalar field energy in a balanced situation dissipates away from the boundary by the square of the distance, becoming the Gravitational force in the form of the Proton pushing away from the field gradient intensity towards other matter. A repulsion force rather than a force of attraction.

Brian, do you keep up with the current ongoing debate regarding the problems in cosmology? A gentleman spoke on the iai channel about it recently. Your thoughts?
Oooh faster than light comms? Compression may be a good way to think about it. A lazy river gets sped up when forced to flow through a narrow pass, but it loses energy in the process.
Great discussion and Dr Keating, one good thing you do is that you are not afraid to push back when need and ask the hard questions. Good! That's what we want to listen!
@@GeneralSulla seems like u r a renowed scientist to say that eh Definitely , it has wasted a lot of our time but not unworthy and what is "believes" lmao , its mathematically proven
I have a technical question about the counterfactual, of you didn't have qft or gr, how would you recognise that it is the right framework? The reason why people went "yey qft" is because of predictions that got the right answers. Isn't it still not feasible to make those spesific predictions in the context of string theory? Thats my only objection, but the counterfactuals are telling an important story anyway, i think the point is that postdiction is the same as prediction, only a lot more susceptible to fudging. But it is a good consistency check at least, but i think we should view predictions as also being just that, consistency checks, but in domains we havent probed yet it is kind of more impressive, but the relationship to nature is the same, only that not knowing the putcome of experiments beforehand means that its not possible to just massage a theory into the right shape to fit some data. So its really the ability to fine tune a theory to fit any datapoint we havemt checked yet that is concerning, it isnt a check on truth, just a danger in terms of ending up building castles out of sand. The limit is ofc just a list of experimental results and observed events, as general as it gets but not predictive at all.
Interesting discussion for sure, but I don't understand why the thumbnail would ask the ridiculous question "PROOF OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES?" in big block letters, when you know full well that no such proof would be presented, and that none is known to exist.
Dr. Keating, I think the way you speak, your character, and the way you explain science is so exciting. Watching you on RUclips is one of my favorite things to do. I'm a scientist myself, and you are so amazing to listen to. Keep it going.
Dr. Keating, I love your interviews. A little tip. Feel free to ignore. Notice the word rate at which Brian Greene speaks relative to yours. It is somewhat slower. This facilitates clarity, especially for non-scientist fans. You are super smart, but it might help listeners who are not physicists grasp more of what you are saying and perhaps make them more likely to listen to you if you speak a bit slower and find pause points in your statements. Try listening to yourself speak as if you were another person. Check out Sean Carroll's or Lex Fridman's rate of speaking. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Barack Obama -- same thing. Slow and clear with pauses, although perhaps you need not take it that far. Hope this isn't TMI, just trying to help a bit. If you ignore this, I'll still be listening. Thanks for a great interview!
I hate people taking slow, if you want that there are 10,000 video essays on RUclips where the author talks at half natural speaking speed to milk video view retention, have fun
I enjoyed the conversation and subscribed I also viewed a portion of the Michio Kaku video of which I will return and see them in full.. I hope that you continue with more of Michio's videos in the future as I enjoy them very much, Michio has a way of not only covering the material but also making it fun to listen too, that said I do notice a big difference in the way you did your questioning as seen here vs the Michio video and I would of been interested in seeing this video with Michio as the guest that said I enjoyed this one
For example the simples way to cook up a classical description of the correlations of a bell pair does involve one side changing the other faster tham light, and sending information in a sense, but it isnt readable information, that is to say if you took the quantum state in one of the labs it still doesn't allow you to exchange information faster than light even in cases where one of them being measures permits a full description of the other in a reduced state because of a causal influence that went at much faster than light.
Whats cool about physics is that it is both fundamental to our existence and yet abstract enough to not take things so personally. So we can potentially all be friends, more or less. The aspect of money is a reality. One that could potentially be assisted with string theory based quantum computed blockchains. But, thats a far removed reality. Heading into the new year, I’m going to think of anywhere or anybody that I owe an apology to. It appears in the physics community, some of us owe apologies to one another.
You've just painted, from scratch, an intuitive image in my head of our galaxy's path through the universe and its relationship to other celestial objects in under half hour.
Experience is observations of pressure in equalization throughout space. Mass occupies space as neutralized resistance within it. Quatum mechanics works as long as there are frequencies that vibrate towards the weakest point of resistance until resistance can't be overcome. Mass occupies space as it vibrates through space. It doesn't bend, collapse, or move. Distance of forward momentum is redirected trajectories contained in magnetic fields of forced pressure cycling circulation patterns. Outward force of pressure is maintained in mass as outward force of pressure from repulsion within mass as outward force. Magnets show the bonding power and repulsion of resistance to thermaldynamics singularities. Physics works as long as gravity doesn't work in quantum mechanics. Vibrations settle into the weakest point of resistance. Magnetic fields are proof of equalization of pressure into cycling thermaldynamics singularities. Physics works for the greater magnetic fields. Force of pressure equalization to cold resistance. Waves of thermaldynamics singularities are the decay of stars mass as dark energy waves outside of entanglement of mass until resistance can't be overcome. Examples of observations are atmospheres being struck by these waves as sparks or if you prefer electrons of light. Forward momentum exchanges energy and resistance point to point timed interactions of forward maximum momentum velocity in resistance equal to distance traveling through space. Lightning burns through atmospheres as sparks of electrons as decay of mass as Light. Atmospheres collapse back in on the void created by the atmospheres breaking down into thermaldynamics singularities as thunder. Heat waves. Light is only present in resistance. Electrons are sparks of light in resistance. Lightning proves hypothesis. Observations are experiences of physics. Electricity is rapid decay of thermaldynamics singularities passing through resistance. Heat is always present in decay of mass breaking down into thermaldynamics singularities. Physics works. Resistance is always equalization as cold space itself. Mass decays by loss of thermaldynamics singularities. Cold resistance of space itself is always leftover. Space itself remains. Thermaldynamics singularities in proximity fill the void. Resistance can't be overcome. It is always present. Thermaldynamics singularities are the variable in degrees of temperature. Quatum mechanics works with cold resistance of occupational space neutralized within mass. Physics works.
@@MichaelRath-t9s well, I take that back, Brian finally did smoke weed for the first time in Amsterdam and was terrified for his life, so that was a big deal.
If the universe is, indeed, infinite, then there *must* be both simple and complex life out there somewhere. The only real question is how far away it is from us. I personally doubt that there is any life of any kind anywhere close to the Earth. But I could be wrong.
I recently watched an Event Horizon video, the thumbnail was Mars with the words "A New World," where the guest suggested we should be looking for artificial stars within 1000 light years. I commented with my shock at that optimism. Event Horizon responded that there was a recent statistical SETI paper by Claudio Maccone that suggested the nearest advanced civilization would be 50 to 250 LY and, depending on some factors, a maximum of 2200 LY. I have not read the paper, so I'm still skeptical. Watched a couple of videos of Maccone and he seems like a smart guy. Brian should consider interviewing him. There are just so many filters along the way to advanced technological life. Even if we accept that every ocean has single-celled life, it took a billion years to get a cell nucleus, another billion to get multi-cellular. Even after you go through more filters: Neandertals lasted 150,000 years, and went from fire and stone tools ... to fire and stone tools. The tipping point for us may have been towns and agriculture.
Parallel Universes? I think, it depends on the definition of "Universe". If it has to emit Mass, Radiation, and Energy, like ours then NO. We can already detect that. If it is something out of our perceptional reach, then yes, because it describes things that happen in parallel, but out of our detection range.
Dr Keating your on fire I just got word your going on Julian Doreys Podcast . You’re my new favorite scientist now . Great job keep up the good work and being an ambassador for science and physics. Ty from Sammy Owens III US Army (Ret)
Hey Brian! Great conversation. A little tip for your audio quality: Try using dynamic microphones when in a room full of echo. Condenser mics tend to capture way more reverb from the room than dynamic mics. Keep up the good work
My two favourite Brian's in such a short conversation together in the same room thanks a lot guys for effort, reminds me how podcast been done before covid, something bugs me in those zoom talks this days
Brian Green is always so articulated and polite... At same time he seems to be grounded and respectful to all the people (even those he disagree with him). Apparently he looks like a very nice person
Here's a question, so in the vacuum mass is equal to 0, in an atmosphere environment how do you remove the weighted mass from a craft. How do you get the crafts weighted mass to 0Msquared? ThTs what I've been thinking about.
I find it interesting that the five string theories have a similar duality pattern to the five Platonic solids. The five string theories have two pairs that are dual and one that is dual to itself. The five Platonic solids also have two pairs that are dual and one that is dual to itself. This is likely of no real significance, but I simply find it interesting.
I'm surprised Turok only got mentioned in passing, as you have interviewed him, and he has an alternative to inflation with essentially no new physics.
WaaaaAAAAaaay back in the daaaaAAAAaaay I recorded his documentary about string theory onto VHS because I loved it so much! The theory had had it's ups and downs and zigs and zags, but I think there are things about it that may describe in a roundabout way the physical world.
One is none, two is one. It is possible to reduce three dimensions to two, virtually. ADS to CFT. String theory is reducing it again to one dimensional strings. It is possible to do this with math, but that same math can produce many landscapes, so it is telling us about every possible landscape, not specifically our reality. It is too generic to be useful in this way. Because it can be used to describe anything, it describes nothing specific, so it is a cop out just like M-theory. Therefore, my argument is that the reduction to one dimensional strings is going too far.
Assuming the generous, that Brian Greene did not make a single false statement during this fine interview; what is the closest he came to making a statement that could be debated to be the least reliably true? [Not a trick question, a sincere one]
lol Brian! lol! Reminds me of something my friend says to people exiting a washroom - “now get back in there and wash your hands” But before he can say “just kidding”, they’ve turned around and gone back in, to subscr… I mean wash their hands.
Regarding life on other planets. . . Considering that we only see the transit of Venus years apart, it seems to me that ANY exoplanet discovered by its transit of the parent star would indicate that 1. the planet would be really close to the star. . . i.e., well outside a habitable zone, and 2. So massive as to be not amenable to life
Thanks Brian for coming on giving updates in their community. Every model has a time and place application even if its sci fi or psuedo . Drawing inspiration is just as important as applications ans just behind operations.
I ask this because clearly history has synonymous and alogorical social behavioral urge to atomize reality down to qauntative plank length gradiants and vectors. The strings imulate our artist vector graphics. This is how we rationalize things obviously
I pay for premium to avoid the ads interrupting the video. Content is awesome. Sneaky ads in the middle of the video that circumvent my PAID efforts are sad.
So I would say this, if ant hills started smoking from everywhere would we take a closer look at those ant hills to see what's happening? Or if we could travel to other systems and we needed water to replenish our supply and we found a civilization where water was abundant what would we do? Would we observe and even grab one to see if they had intelligence as we do. Would we do that.
Would someone explain to me why the notion in science that there are parallel universes which can’t be proved to exist .. why is that speculation different to postulating that there are spiritual worlds/heavens .. parallel to this world … about which one can’t run a corroborated repeatable test which would satisfy a materialist scientist?
Because it relates to the way we observe quantum physics in our world. Parallel/multiverses may be an explanation for ""superpositions"", and it can also quell the scary contradiction of free will in a universe with such seemingly rigid rules. Well, if the rules are always slightly evolving, merging or splitting apart like in wolfram's theory, then all the possibile future realities you can think of for yourself really do truly lie ahead of you despite being locked down in the seemingly static and deterministic physics working a few levels above quantum physics like chemistry or gravity...
Im upset Mr. Keatong didn't push back more about the alien topic. Mr. Greene was very hyperfixated on interstellar travellers thousands of light years away. We have many exoplanets orbiting stars less than 50 LY away from us. Some even 15-30 LY away. A civilization only a couple centuries older might be able to send a probe or physically travel a fraction of the speed of light and make it to earth in our lifetime. Those civilizations are more likely to crash or be shot down.
Brian, you are talking about our universe. When the particles collided in 2015 the first gravitational waves were detected from colliding black holes around the same time. This is what your equations are predicting, seeing the shadow of an event on the surface of our universe. When we add the idea that the sun has already exploded and we are in a time-dilated gravitational wave of the expansion of the explosion, we see the unfolding of quantum entanglement, dark matter, and energy, The beginning of the universe along with times well past ours and many other things. The collapse of dimensions are viewd in planets and the reflection of the beginning in all directions as solar systems and galaxies.

@@DrBrianKeating Many, but to select a couple: i) Signals at velocities faster than light, and ii) the open and clear position on the possibility of a multiverse.
Brian, the multiverse theory is the reality of a cyclical universe forced into an amount of time that’s just about humanly imaginable. The reality of fine tuning suggests a cyclical universe perfectly. The way humans perceive time is the problem because it gets in the way of the seemingly obvious nature of reality. 🙂
At 41:00 Yes there is an “honest to goodness force” not yet recognized. The and we should expect it to define the origins of inertia, gravity, energy, charge, matter etc. No woo, no new particles, just a new point of view.

Really good episode. Both of you are excellent teachers/communicators in that you are able to keep the feeling informal and approachable without dumbing it down too much.
Btw without consideration of the full effects of such a force, a force that conveys information between entangled systems in a non lorentz invariant way, doesn't break much of anything, because we habe theories that are invariant in every other way, meaning energies would be simimar, qft calculations would still work pretty much the same, the point is, we habe the results and if the forces are direct consequences of the stuff the rest emerges from but explains correlations that are already in the theories we have, then it is not so worrying to speculate about messing everything up u see. :) that is to say the consequences at the micro macroscopic level might just be the correlations and other hysterisis like effects, after all entanglement is kind of like a hysterisis effect where the fact that a particle is produced innconcert with another effects the correlation, which is basically changing the physics depending on mutual consequences of something that happened in the past. So i think there are decent ways to break the symmetry without ruining everything else right away.
AI computing may make it much easier. And our knowledge of the universe is growing rapidly. And maybe growing faster. One problem maybe that most of the low hanging fruit has been discovered.
So reading Brian Greene’s string theory, reference vibrations/ harmonics? So the least vibration/ harmonics may be more mass ? , had a speed thought, magnetic fields and blood oxygenation will better humanity
Putting at the same level string theory or even loop quantum gravity with the crackpotish proposals of Garret Lisi or Eric Weinstein is simply ludicrous. Weinstein "proposal" is at most a proposal for a differential-geometric construction which only contains some standard geometry. The reason why the top theoretical physicisits don't pay much attention to these "proposals" is because they are so obviously wrong or non-sensical. As simple as that.
It seems to me that the Drake Equation is based only on the CONDITIONS for the emergence of life and intelligence in the Milky Way, not on the CAUSE of life and intelligence there. In general, explanation implies the triad of CAUSE, CONDITIONS, and RESULT. Which term of the Drake Equation corresponds to the CAUSE of life and intelligence in the Milky Way?
I found the entire encounter interesting until....... ! Then, I was appalled that a great mind would reject the possibility that an advanced alien culture could be behind the sightings of elusive flying objects simply because he couldn't believe that any such culture would do that. He also ignored the apparent verification of the sightings. That's like saying that the earth is flat simply because one can't believe that it could be any other way. Does he have two minds that each act in separate components of a multiniverse; one observational and the other preconceptual?
you'd think it's not unreasonable that exists some cool emergent higher order dynamics from an infinite ensemble of selves beyond mundane physical processes organizing things in the profoundest sense and that just like maslow's hierarchy of needs for humans, self actualization tends to be some sort of higher order implicit guiding force that nudges conscious meta ensembles toward exhibiting coherent individual existences to achieve reliable meta self actualization. Perhaps collapsing wavefunctions regularly enough to make things subjectively sensible is part of the process of ensuring this is more efficiently done, more optimally converging on unique and persistent conscious instantiations for higher reality to test drive?
I like and admire achievements of Brian Greene in cosmology, specifically in pursuing the Strings idea, but I do not agree with his scepticism regarding UFO problem and in general the presence of aliens visiting our planet. I think that as scientist he should be more open and flexible on this subject and should not talk about it so categorically, because in huge and maybe even infinite Universe, everything is possible....
Great conversation. One visual came to mind when Prof. Greene was talking about the branes and the extra dimension that connects them, is how the clothes are hung in the dry-cleaner in a circular rack. I could almost see the branes hanging from the rack , swinging sometimes when one needs to get one item and touching the adjacent ones ovcasionally.
In addition to quantum physics young people need to be taught trades like plumbing, carpentry and fixing things… America’s is rebuilding our manufacturing base that will triple the blue collar ranks in the next decade.

I think the experimental minimum should also include inventing and experimentally testing perpetual motion machines in adolescence.
Brian, do you keep up with the current ongoing debate regarding the problems in cosmology? A gentleman spoke on the iai channel about it recently. Your thoughts?
Oooh faster than light comms? Compression may be a good way to think about it. A lazy river gets sped up when forced to flow through a narrow pass, but it loses energy in the process.
Great discussion and Dr Keating, one good thing you do is that you are not afraid to push back when need and ask the hard questions. Good! That's what we want to listen!
I’m grateful for your comments 😀
2^n qubit form N dimension for all possible entanglement between N particles, add one more particle to 2^(n+1 ) qubit form N+1 dimension.
I LOVED that joke about theorists, thank you for this wonderful and interesting conversation
As a string player, I'm rooting for string theory! 😂I've read the elegant universe a while ago and it always inspired me a sense of wonder!
Nobody with a "brane" believes in string theory..., 😂😂😂
@@GeneralSulla haha! Good one 😆
@@GeneralSulla seems like u r a renowed scientist to say that eh
Definitely , it has wasted a lot of our time but not unworthy and what is "believes" lmao , its mathematically proven
And acknowledging that it's the leading candidate for a theory of everything or quantum gravity by far I also root for String Theory 👍
String teory is most stupid teory ever
They said it, he INVENTED(not real) his theories.
This was great! 2 communicators communicating. 2 Brian's, actually. I just am not sure how the universe allows such particles to be in the same state.
I have a technical question about the counterfactual, of you didn't have qft or gr, how would you recognise that it is the right framework? The reason why people went "yey qft" is because of predictions that got the right answers. Isn't it still not feasible to make those spesific predictions in the context of string theory? Thats my only objection, but the counterfactuals are telling an important story anyway, i think the point is that postdiction is the same as prediction, only a lot more susceptible to fudging. But it is a good consistency check at least, but i think we should view predictions as also being just that, consistency checks, but in domains we havent probed yet it is kind of more impressive, but the relationship to nature is the same, only that not knowing the putcome of experiments beforehand means that its not possible to just massage a theory into the right shape to fit some data. So its really the ability to fine tune a theory to fit any datapoint we havemt checked yet that is concerning, it isnt a check on truth, just a danger in terms of ending up building castles out of sand. The limit is ofc just a list of experimental results and observed events, as general as it gets but not predictive at all.
Brian’s Brian’s Brian’s, what can I say 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻
epic!
Interesting discussion for sure, but I don't understand why the thumbnail would ask the ridiculous question "PROOF OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES?" in big block letters, when you know full well that no such proof would be presented, and that none is known to exist.
I'm gonna go with Penrose and Hossenfelder on this.
Dr. Keating, I think the way you speak, your character, and the way you explain science is so exciting. Watching you on RUclips is one of my favorite things to do. I'm a scientist myself, and you are so amazing to listen to. Keep it going.
What? I just voted Greene, and in a second, I found podcast was delivered. Faster than light.
Well not really faster than light. You literally told us it took a second ;)
Right. They probably produced the episode in other universe or curled dimension, which still could fit in to c.
Brian, please hold and moderate more debates!
In the multiverse, can there be a universe where no multiverse exists?
welcome to meta physics
@@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340😂
Not in this multiverse 😂
I just love the ideas of multi verses.
No.
Dr. Keating, I love your interviews. A little tip. Feel free to ignore. Notice the word rate at which Brian Greene speaks relative to yours. It is somewhat slower. This facilitates clarity, especially for non-scientist fans. You are super smart, but it might help listeners who are not physicists grasp more of what you are saying and perhaps make them more likely to listen to you if you speak a bit slower and find pause points in your statements. Try listening to yourself speak as if you were another person. Check out Sean Carroll's or Lex Fridman's rate of speaking. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Barack Obama -- same thing. Slow and clear with pauses, although perhaps you need not take it that far. Hope this isn't TMI, just trying to help a bit. If you ignore this, I'll still be listening. Thanks for a great interview!
I hate people taking slow, if you want that there are 10,000 video essays on RUclips where the author talks at half natural speaking speed to milk video view retention, have fun
I enjoyed the conversation and subscribed I also viewed a portion of the Michio Kaku video of which I will return and see them in full..
I hope that you continue with more of Michio's videos in the future as I enjoy them very much, Michio has a way of not only covering the material but also making it fun to listen too, that said I do notice a big difference in the way you did your questioning as seen here vs the Michio video and I would of been interested in seeing this video with Michio as the guest that said I enjoyed this one
In modern physics, String Theory is considered unscientific, and, increasingly, a stupid joke. Bear that in mind.
@@JimEadon No need to bear it in mind who said that I was unaware of that..
For example the simples way to cook up a classical description of the correlations of a bell pair does involve one side changing the other faster tham light, and sending information in a sense, but it isnt readable information, that is to say if you took the quantum state in one of the labs it still doesn't allow you to exchange information faster than light even in cases where one of them being measures permits a full description of the other in a reduced state because of a causal influence that went at much faster than light.
Whats cool about physics is that it is both fundamental to our existence and yet abstract enough to not take things so personally. So we can potentially all be friends, more or less. The aspect of money is a reality. One that could potentially be assisted with string theory based quantum computed blockchains. But, thats a far removed reality. Heading into the new year, I’m going to think of anywhere or anybody that I owe an apology to. It appears in the physics community, some of us owe apologies to one another.
You've just painted, from scratch, an intuitive image in my head of our galaxy's path through the universe and its relationship to other celestial objects in under half hour.
I don't think unification can happen without modifying GR, same for QM. What ever the common ground is will change the way we look at both.
Experience is observations of pressure in equalization throughout space. Mass occupies space as neutralized resistance within it. Quatum mechanics works as long as there are frequencies that vibrate towards the weakest point of resistance until resistance can't be overcome. Mass occupies space as it vibrates through space. It doesn't bend, collapse, or move. Distance of forward momentum is redirected trajectories contained in magnetic fields of forced pressure cycling circulation patterns. Outward force of pressure is maintained in mass as outward force of pressure from repulsion within mass as outward force. Magnets show the bonding power and repulsion of resistance to thermaldynamics singularities. Physics works as long as gravity doesn't work in quantum mechanics. Vibrations settle into the weakest point of resistance. Magnetic fields are proof of equalization of pressure into cycling thermaldynamics singularities. Physics works for the greater magnetic fields. Force of pressure equalization to cold resistance. Waves of thermaldynamics singularities are the decay of stars mass as dark energy waves outside of entanglement of mass until resistance can't be overcome. Examples of observations are atmospheres being struck by these waves as sparks or if you prefer electrons of light. Forward momentum exchanges energy and resistance point to point timed interactions of forward maximum momentum velocity in resistance equal to distance traveling through space. Lightning burns through atmospheres as sparks of electrons as decay of mass as Light. Atmospheres collapse back in on the void created by the atmospheres breaking down into thermaldynamics singularities as thunder. Heat waves. Light is only present in resistance. Electrons are sparks of light in resistance. Lightning proves hypothesis. Observations are experiences of physics. Electricity is rapid decay of thermaldynamics singularities passing through resistance. Heat is always present in decay of mass breaking down into thermaldynamics singularities. Physics works. Resistance is always equalization as cold space itself. Mass decays by loss of thermaldynamics singularities. Cold resistance of space itself is always leftover. Space itself remains. Thermaldynamics singularities in proximity fill the void. Resistance can't be overcome. It is always present. Thermaldynamics singularities are the variable in degrees of temperature. Quatum mechanics works with cold resistance of occupational space neutralized within mass. Physics works.
Wow, 20 years ago I started reading his books, still fun to hear him talk even though little has changed since.
& the Daleks still havnt been destroyed! 😮
She - He ehhhh wot about Trans brainboxes 😅
@@MichaelRath-t9s well, I take that back, Brian finally did smoke weed for the first time in Amsterdam and was terrified for his life, so that was a big deal.
If the universe is, indeed, infinite, then there *must* be both simple and complex life out there somewhere. The only real question is how far away it is from us.
I personally doubt that there is any life of any kind anywhere close to the Earth.
But I could be wrong.
I recently watched an Event Horizon video, the thumbnail was Mars with the words "A New World," where the guest suggested we should be looking for artificial stars within 1000 light years. I commented with my shock at that optimism. Event Horizon responded that there was a recent statistical SETI paper by Claudio Maccone that suggested the nearest advanced civilization would be 50 to 250 LY and, depending on some factors, a maximum of 2200 LY.
I have not read the paper, so I'm still skeptical. Watched a couple of videos of Maccone and he seems like a smart guy. Brian should consider interviewing him. There are just so many filters along the way to advanced technological life. Even if we accept that every ocean has single-celled life, it took a billion years to get a cell nucleus, another billion to get multi-cellular. Even after you go through more filters: Neandertals lasted 150,000 years, and went from fire and stone tools ... to fire and stone tools. The tipping point for us may have been towns and agriculture.
Parallel Universes? I think, it depends on the definition of "Universe". If it has to emit Mass, Radiation, and Energy, like ours then NO. We can already detect that. If it is something out of our perceptional reach, then yes, because it describes things that happen in parallel, but out of our detection range.
Dr Keating your on fire I just got word your going on Julian Doreys Podcast . You’re my new favorite scientist now . Great job keep up the good work and being an ambassador for science and physics. Ty from Sammy Owens III US Army (Ret)
No Thank you, so much hoo rah
Hey Brian! Great conversation. A little tip for your audio quality: Try using dynamic microphones when in a room full of echo. Condenser mics tend to capture way more reverb from the room than dynamic mics.
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip!
@@DrBrianKeating 👊
My two favourite Brian's in such a short conversation together in the same room thanks a lot guys for effort, reminds me how podcast been done before covid, something bugs me in those zoom talks this days
Glad you enjoyed it!
A power packed performance .We have enjoyed the pleasures.
You have unfolded the manifold , great job.
Benefits for all
Brian Green is always so articulated and polite... At same time he seems to be grounded and respectful to all the people (even those he disagree with him).
Apparently he looks like a very nice person
Here's a question, so in the vacuum mass is equal to 0, in an atmosphere environment how do you remove the weighted mass from a craft. How do you get the crafts weighted mass to 0Msquared? ThTs what I've been thinking about.
I find it interesting that the five string theories have a similar duality pattern to the five Platonic solids.
The five string theories have two pairs that are dual and one that is dual to itself.
The five Platonic solids also have two pairs that are dual and one that is dual to itself.
This is likely of no real significance, but I simply find it interesting.
I'm surprised Turok only got mentioned in passing, as you have interviewed him, and he has an alternative to inflation with essentially no new physics.
WaaaaAAAAaaay back in the daaaaAAAAaaay I recorded his documentary about string theory onto VHS because I loved it so much! The theory had had it's ups and downs and zigs and zags, but I think there are things about it that may describe in a roundabout way the physical world.
Earth is flat
@@PetarNedic-ei4vb Yo mama's flat.
Earth is a donut you klutz
Trying to unify the macro-gravity and micro-quantum mechanics is a conundrum to last
Raw conversations like this is the best!
One is none, two is one. It is possible to reduce three dimensions to two, virtually. ADS to CFT. String theory is reducing it again to one dimensional strings. It is possible to do this with math, but that same math can produce many landscapes, so it is telling us about every possible landscape, not specifically our reality. It is too generic to be useful in this way. Because it can be used to describe anything, it describes nothing specific, so it is a cop out just like M-theory. Therefore, my argument is that the reduction to one dimensional strings is going too far.
Assuming the generous, that Brian Greene did not make a single false statement during this fine interview; what is the closest he came to making a statement that could be debated to be the least reliably true? [Not a trick question, a sincere one]
1:30:20
Thank you Dr Keating, for bringing up the UFO question
lol Brian! lol!
Reminds me of something my friend says to people exiting a washroom - “now get back in there and wash your hands”
But before he can say “just kidding”, they’ve turned around and gone back in, to subscr… I mean wash their hands.
Regarding life on other planets. . . Considering that we only see the transit of Venus years apart, it seems to me that ANY exoplanet discovered by its transit of the parent star would indicate that
1. the planet would be really close to the star. . . i.e., well outside a habitable zone, and
2. So massive as to be not amenable to life
What useful, verifiable, predictions has string theory provided?
Thanks Brian for coming on giving updates in their community.
Every model has a time and place application even if its sci fi or psuedo . Drawing inspiration is just as important as applications ans just behind operations.
I ask this because clearly history has synonymous and alogorical social behavioral urge to atomize reality down to qauntative plank length gradiants and vectors.
The strings imulate our artist vector graphics.
This is how we rationalize things obviously
In Brian's case -pseudoscience
I pay for premium to avoid the ads interrupting the video. Content is awesome. Sneaky ads in the middle of the video that circumvent my PAID efforts are sad.
Brian Keating is such a great interviewer. And a very likable guy. I subscribed!
I will click on literally any Brian Greene video
So I would say this, if ant hills started smoking from everywhere would we take a closer look at those ant hills to see what's happening? Or if we could travel to other systems and we needed water to replenish our supply and we found a civilization where water was abundant what would we do? Would we observe and even grab one to see if they had intelligence as we do. Would we do that.
proves the old adage that - Two Brian's are better that one. xx
Would someone explain to me why the notion in science that there are parallel universes which can’t be proved to exist .. why is that speculation different to postulating that there are spiritual worlds/heavens .. parallel to this world … about which one can’t run a corroborated repeatable test which would satisfy a materialist scientist?
Because it relates to the way we observe quantum physics in our world. Parallel/multiverses may be an explanation for ""superpositions"", and it can also quell the scary contradiction of free will in a universe with such seemingly rigid rules. Well, if the rules are always slightly evolving, merging or splitting apart like in wolfram's theory, then all the possibile future realities you can think of for yourself really do truly lie ahead of you despite being locked down in the seemingly static and deterministic physics working a few levels above quantum physics like chemistry or gravity...
If as Einstein said gravity is a result of the warping of space-time and not a force, why do physicists keep referring to it as a force of gravity.
Im upset Mr. Keatong didn't push back more about the alien topic. Mr. Greene was very hyperfixated on interstellar travellers thousands of light years away. We have many exoplanets orbiting stars less than 50 LY away from us. Some even 15-30 LY away. A civilization only a couple centuries older might be able to send a probe or physically travel a fraction of the speed of light and make it to earth in our lifetime. Those civilizations are more likely to crash or be shot down.
How come you’re sitting side by side instead of across from each other?
Brian, you are talking about our universe. When the particles collided in 2015 the first gravitational waves were detected from colliding black holes around the same time. This is what your equations are predicting, seeing the shadow of an event on the surface of our universe. When we add the idea that the sun has already exploded and we are in a time-dilated gravitational wave of the expansion of the explosion, we see the unfolding of quantum entanglement, dark matter, and energy, The beginning of the universe along with times well past ours and many other things. The collapse of dimensions are viewd in planets and the reflection of the beginning in all directions as solar systems and galaxies.

@@DrBrianKeating Many, but to select a couple: i) Signals at velocities faster than light, and ii) the open and clear position on the possibility of a multiverse.
Brian, the multiverse theory is the reality of a cyclical universe forced into an amount of time that’s just about humanly imaginable. The reality of fine tuning suggests a cyclical universe perfectly. The way humans perceive time is the problem because it gets in the way of the seemingly obvious nature of reality. 🙂
At 41:00 Yes there is an “honest to goodness force” not yet recognized.
The and we should expect it to define the origins of inertia, gravity, energy, charge, matter etc.
No woo, no new particles, just a new point of view.

Really good episode. Both of you are excellent teachers/communicators in that you are able to keep the feeling informal and approachable without dumbing it down too much.
In regard to the topic of aliens your thinking, analogies and assumptions are knowledgeable and insightful. You had me in fits of laughter.
Awesome show so far, thanks for what you guys do! Happy thanksgiving
Btw without consideration of the full effects of such a force, a force that conveys information between entangled systems in a non lorentz invariant way, doesn't break much of anything, because we habe theories that are invariant in every other way, meaning energies would be simimar, qft calculations would still work pretty much the same, the point is, we habe the results and if the forces are direct consequences of the stuff the rest emerges from but explains correlations that are already in the theories we have, then it is not so worrying to speculate about messing everything up u see. :) that is to say the consequences at the micro macroscopic level might just be the correlations and other hysterisis like effects, after all entanglement is kind of like a hysterisis effect where the fact that a particle is produced innconcert with another effects the correlation, which is basically changing the physics depending on mutual consequences of something that happened in the past. So i think there are decent ways to break the symmetry without ruining everything else right away.
Experimental physics is REALLY CRAZY HARD, at least these days.
AI computing may make it much easier. And our knowledge of the universe is growing rapidly. And maybe growing faster. One problem maybe that most of the low hanging fruit has been discovered.
Copies in time ?? Maybe Indices of reflection and refraction thru time via Quantum coupling. Wolfgang Pauli
So reading Brian Greene’s string theory, reference vibrations/ harmonics? So the least vibration/ harmonics may be more mass ? , had a speed thought, magnetic fields and blood oxygenation will better humanity
Putting at the same level string theory or even loop quantum gravity with the crackpotish proposals of Garret Lisi or Eric Weinstein is simply ludicrous. Weinstein "proposal" is at most a proposal for a differential-geometric construction which only contains some standard geometry. The reason why the top theoretical physicisits don't pay much attention to these "proposals" is because they are so obviously wrong or non-sensical. As simple as that.
Long live Brian’s brother
It seems to me that the Drake Equation is based only on the CONDITIONS for the emergence of life and intelligence in the Milky Way, not on the CAUSE of life and intelligence there. In general, explanation implies the triad of CAUSE, CONDITIONS, and RESULT. Which term of the Drake Equation corresponds to the CAUSE of life and intelligence in the Milky Way?
Wonderful to see Other Brian in a casual setting. And very frank in a great/broad discussion.
I found the entire encounter interesting until....... ! Then, I was appalled that a great mind would reject the possibility that an advanced alien culture could be behind the sightings of elusive flying objects simply because he couldn't believe that any such culture would do that. He also ignored the apparent verification of the sightings. That's like saying that the earth is flat simply because one can't believe that it could be any other way. Does he have two minds that each act in separate components of a multiniverse; one observational and the other preconceptual?
you'd think it's not unreasonable that exists some cool emergent higher order dynamics from an infinite ensemble of selves beyond mundane physical processes organizing things in the profoundest sense and that just like maslow's hierarchy of needs for humans, self actualization tends to be some sort of higher order implicit guiding force that nudges conscious meta ensembles toward exhibiting coherent individual existences to achieve reliable meta self actualization. Perhaps collapsing wavefunctions regularly enough to make things subjectively sensible is part of the process of ensuring this is more efficiently done, more optimally converging on unique and persistent conscious instantiations for higher reality to test drive?
I like and admire achievements of Brian Greene in cosmology, specifically in pursuing the Strings idea, but I do not agree with his scepticism regarding UFO problem and in general the presence of aliens visiting our planet. I think that as scientist he should be more open and flexible on this subject and should not talk about it so categorically, because in huge and maybe even infinite Universe, everything is possible....
My 2 favourite Brians ❤
Great conversation. One visual came to mind when Prof. Greene was talking about the branes and the extra dimension that connects them, is how the clothes are hung in the dry-cleaner in a circular rack. I could almost see the branes hanging from the rack , swinging sometimes when one needs to get one item and touching the adjacent ones ovcasionally.
In addition to quantum physics young people need to be taught trades like plumbing, carpentry and fixing things… America’s is rebuilding our manufacturing base that will triple the blue collar ranks in the next decade.
Could not find the comments regarding Eric Weinstein, would somebody be able to provide me with the timestamp? TY
I’m sure they said Eric just speaks Rubbish
