What Is Time? | Professor Sean Carroll explains the theories of Presentism and Eternalism

What is Time? Tackle one of the greatest problems in all of science—the nature of time itself—in “Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time,” a groundbreaking course by Dr. Sean Carroll, one of the foremost researchers in this field. In this second video from the 24-video series, Professor Carroll approaches time from a philosophical perspective. “Presentism” holds that the past and future are not real; only the present moment is real. However, the laws of physics appear to support “eternalism”—the view that all of the moments in the history of the universe are equally real.

Quantum Theory Made Easy [2]


Published on Dec 1, 2015

PART 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5_V7… Today we’ll be exploring the evolution of the atom, starting from J.J. Thomson’s Plum Pudding model, on to Rutherford’s Planetary model, and then on to the Bohr model, which is one of the central focuses of this lecture. After going over the strengths and weaknesses of each, we’ll see how de Broglie’s crazy ideas about the duality of matter manifest themselves in the Bohr model, which we’ll use to (partially) derive the Rydberg equation. Finally, after calculating the Balmer series in order to show off how successful Bohr was, I’ll ruin the moment by explaining why Bohr’s model wasn’t complete after all. Some very important questions will be raised, and the answers… well, the answers will blow your mind in the next episode. This video is less dense than the last one, and certainly less heavy on the maths than the next one. For those of you who paid attention in high school chemistry, at least half of the content here will be review. If this video seemed a little bit too basic, don’t worry- the next video will be the most difficult one in the series. The goal here was to provide a setup for what’s to come- you’ll probably need to revisit this video a few times, since there are things that I mention here that will be explored in much greater depth later on. Now that all the pieces are in place, though, we can finally get to the bread and butter of quantum mechanics in the next video. Stay tuned. Don’t forget to like, share, comment, favorite, and subscribe!

Quantum Theory Made Easy [1]


Published on Jul 17, 2015

SUBSCRIBE 74K
“Quantum Theory Made Easy,” a series in which the concepts of quantum physics are broken down for layaudiences in a more digestable manner. More in-depth than most presentations for laypersons, but without the mathematical rigour needed by a specialist in the field. So, you’ve heard that light is a wave/particle. Now you get to find out how we know this! In this episode, we’ll be discussing the dual nature of light, starting with a brief overview of how light was determined to be an electromagnetic wave and what properties light was classically associated with. From there, we’ll present the results of Planck’s blackbody experiments and introduce the concept of quantization, which was how this whole quantum mess was started in the first place. After explaining how the quantum of action (h) works, we’ll move on to how it showed up in experiments that challenged the wave picture of light, and how Einstein, bremsstrahlung, and Compton, made it clear that light can behave like a particle.

The Mystery of Pi


Armstrong Economics Blog/Understanding Cycles

Re-Posted Jan 21, 2019 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi Mr. Armstrong,

I just encountered this video.:
Can you explain why Pi is showing up there?

Thanks and kind regards,

M

 

 

 

ANSWER: No. I have come to believe that Pi is strangely the key to all knowledge upon which the entire universe was constructed. The sun’s light takes about 8.6 minutes to reach the Earth after it has been emitted from the sun’s surface. This is a derivative of Pi. Does that mean that life will evolve on a planet that conforms to Pi?  It is assumed that it takes our galaxy approximately about 230 million years to make one complete orbit around the Milky Way! I suspect it is really 224 million years and that would comport with Pi.

On a basic level, Pi seems very simple for it is the ratio of a circle’s circumference divided by its diameter. This ratio is always the same no matter how large the circle (orbit) – 3.14 or so. Obviously, anytime you find yourself working with circles, arcs, pendulums, etc. you find Pi popping up. Therefore, you will be confronted with Pi when looking at gears, spherical helium balloons, and pendulum clocks. However, as this illustration exposes, you also find Pi in many unexpected places for reasons that seem to have nothing at all to do with circles at all. Pi even shows up in the gravity. (see Wired).

I have discovered that Pi shows up in economics as well as nature. I can only explain that it exists on all planes within this universe. It appears to be the cornerstone upon which everything in the universe was constructed.

Beyond the Higgs: What’s Next for the LHC? – with Harry Cliff

In 2012, the announcement of the Higgs boson made headlines around the world. But what has been going on at the Large Hadron Collider since? Physicist Harry Cliff will be your guide. Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe Watch the Q&A here: https://youtu.be/JuVc_pIwVYE What is the future of the world’s biggest physics experiment? And what intriguing hints of new physics are around the corner? Harry Cliff is the Science Museum Fellow of Modern Science, which he reckons might be the only job title which begins and ends with ‘science’. He spends half his time searching for signs of new physics at LHCb, one of the four big experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. For the other half, he indulges his love of talking about physics at the Science Museum, where he develop exhibitions, events and online content. This talk was filmed in the Royal Institution on 31 October 2017.

Fake Science, Exposed by Sharyl Attkisson.


This investigative report may lead you to question much of what you hear and read about scientific and medical studies. It’s a cautionary note issued by respected industry leaders who say unseen interests are exerting enormous control over research and what is– or isn’t– published. Their startling claim: that a large percentage of articles in prestigious medical journals are simply not to be believed. We begin with Dr. Marcia Angell of Harvard, a pioneer in the medical journal field.

Dr. Marcia Angell: I think physicians and the public have come to believe that drugs are much better and much safer than they really are.

What makes Dr. Marcia Angell’s skepticism so remarkable is where she places much of the blame: on researchers and medical journals. That includes the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, where she worked for 20 years and was its first female Editor in Chief from 1999 to 2000.

Sharyl: Most people probably think an article is in a journal, probably written at a university based on independent study, and that’s that.

Angell: It used to be that way, as you describe it, pretty simple, and it began to change as the pharmaceutical industry became richer, more powerful, more influential, and began to take over the sponsorship of probably most clinical research.
