Brian Cox is insanely eloquent and clear in his explanations of things. Loved that he didn't even try to pretend he knew about the density of the quark-gluon plasma. He simply said: wow, I didn't know that. What a lovely man, hat's off.
@@taunokekkonen5733 Yeah, I'm pretty sure he didn't want to go into how that measurement is of quark-gluon plasma inside a neutron star specifically, and that saying "the density of all quark-gluon plasma is" is kind of like saying "the density of all liquid is".
Check out: Wonders of the Solar System Wonders of the Universe Wonders of Life Human Universe Forces of Nature Life of a Universe and The Planets All excellent documentaries, with stunning visuals, and Brian’s soothing voice to entice you about Science.
Brian is the antithesis of Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Where ngt can be assuming, arrogant, and completely closed off to new ways of thinking. Cox is humble, open to new discovery, and has an introspective attitude about the universe. Big fan of Brian Cox
@@greysunshine NDT has repeatedly said he’s NOT an atheist lol. Why do you guys have a hard on for dissing NDT?💀 You clearly don’t listen to enough NDT, or you all just hate black astrophysicists or something. NDT repeatedly has said he doesn’t like how atheists go out of their way to argue with religious/spiritual people.
I could listen to Brian Cox speak forever... He has a way of explaining things very few people understand in terms almost anyone can... and through it all he's never condescending while being so humble.
@COVID I am always in favor of when Joe pursues these subjects... but I never forget that tomorrow he will have some whacko flat earther on and have just as serious a conversation....
Brian cox is by far my best guest on the rogan show. He's a fascinating person an has a calm an logical way of exsaplaining things to normal person great show
thoyo aah another skater that watches joe rogan ,,,it would be nice if Rodney n Brian got together ,,, or if joe had Rodney on th podcast ,,,he's had Kelly slater on for th surfers so it's Rodney for th skaters,,,cool
I’ve always enjoyed Brian’s ways of explaining such complicated concepts to dummies like myself. Tbh I still have no idea wtf is going on, but I thoroughly enjoy it. Amazing stuff
The way he explains things is very easy to follow and understand. I still have no idea what he's talking about, but I can tell my friends the same stuff and make them feel stupid...my little secret :)
Who else thinks it’s completely feasible you and Dr Cox could become best friends, become neighbors, and spend the rest of your life just asking him questions? Mainly because he’s brilliant, seems to love teaching, is good at it, appears patient, and is just an all-around solid dude?
We are an alien ant farm guys...we're Not supposed to know how everything works.or why Africa's still poor but truth is everything as fucked as it sounds is in place not as it should be but as it has to be for the continuation of humanity and the earth itself!
Joe i respect you and this is why i watch. You’re interested in everything and I absolutely love that, ive got my tentacles everywhere like so many ppl today… the information that is accessible to so many is something we couldn’t have dreamed of even 20yrs ago. I also appreciate the transparency.
I love a scientist that is willing to say "I don't know" in front of an audience. That and how even when Joe doesn't understand, he still asks smart questions.
Yeah, most of us likely do. But we can all bring something to the world and we shouldn't worry about being as smart as someone else. Just gotta be ourselves. But saying that...I do feel stupid compared to him 🤷♂️
Always ask questions observe everything...all things in life have a reason behind them and a way in working,everything in life have a purpose if it didn't it wouldn't exist ..If your curious about it you only allow your mind to open up to more information and cross referencing information you've gathered may allow you to gather evidence or ideas for new things you want to or.dont understand. Scientists work on theories because they try to make sense of how everything works so If something dosnt make sense they try to make sense of it and love doing so Steven hawking...the theory of everything!
What a beautiful explanation of amazing person for something most of population has no clue about. I love these things, no matter how often I am listebing about it
Joe, when atoms collide, the reaction lasts milliseconds. When two objects that contain the mass of the observable universe collide, the reaction lasts many billions of years. The quark-gluon plasma came from our universe turning itself into a particle collider. The quark-gluon plasma is the galaxies leaving the collision as shrapnel. Even our planet and moon were made of one mass of QGP.
Brian Cox is a legend in his own right with his explanation of things to us mere mortals in a manner in which we can begin to comprehend the incompressible. Joe Rogen, you are a credit to us mere mortals asking relevant questions and having obviously done enough research of your own to even ask them... fantastic conversation.
The weight of that plasma gives us an ides of exactly how empty matter actually is. And how we only really interact with an extremly small amount of space. We could be melted down to a microscopic droplet.
As soon as saw gluon plasma, my first thought was artificial gravity if you could store it and transfer it through matter like you can with electrons. That rapid decay bit is an issue, but imagine we find a metal that you could pump full of this stuff, even in a vaporized form, that would interact with the Higgs field and act like an artifical gravity well. Probably not realistic, but maybe this is still the start of something cool
Both Matter and Energy described as "Quanta" of Spatial Curvature. (A string is revealed to be a twisted cord when viewed up close.) Is there an alternative interpretation of "Asymptotic Freedom"? What if Quarks are actually made up of twisted tubes which become physically entangled with two other twisted tubes to produce a proton? Instead of the Strong Force being mediated by the constant exchange of gluons, it would be mediated by the physical entanglement of these twisted tubes. When only two twisted tubules are entangled, a meson is produced which is unstable and rapidly unwinds (decays) into something else. A proton would be analogous to three twisted rubber bands becoming entangled and the "Quarks" would be the places where the tubes are tangled together. The behavior would be the same as rubber balls (representing the Quarks) connected with twisted rubber bands being separated from each other or placed closer together producing the exact same phenomenon as "Asymptotic Freedom" in protons and neutrons. The force would become greater as the balls are separated, but the force would become less if the balls were placed closer together. Therefore, the gluon is a synthetic particle (zero mass, zero charge) invented to explain the Strong Force. An artificial Christmas tree can hold the ornaments in place, but it is not a real tree. String Theory was not a waste of time, because Geometry is the key to Math and Physics. However, can we describe Standard Model interactions using only one extra spatial dimension? What did some of the old clockmakers use to store the energy to power the clock? Was it a string or was it a spring? What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles? Fixing the Standard Model with more particles is like trying to mend a torn fishing net with small rubber balls, instead of a piece of twisted twine. Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: “We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.” Neils Bohr (lecture on a theory of elementary particles given by Wolfgang Pauli in New York, c. 1957-8, in Scientific American vol. 199, no. 3, 1958) The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with some aspects of the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose, and the work of Eric Weinstein on “Geometric Unity”, and the work of Dr. Lisa Randall on the possibility of one extra spatial dimension? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics? When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if Quark/Gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks where the tubes are entangled? (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Charge" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry. Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Gluons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. The twist in the torus can either be Right-Hand or Left-Hand. Some twisted donuts can be larger than others, which can produce three different types of neutrinos. If a twisted tube winds up on one end and unwinds on the other end as it moves through space, this would help explain the “spin” of normal particles, and perhaps also the “Higgs Field”. However, if the end of the twisted tube joins to the other end of the twisted tube forming a twisted torus (neutrino), would this help explain “Parity Symmetry” violation in Beta Decay? Could the conversion of twist cycles to writhe cycles through the process of supercoiling help explain “neutrino oscillations”? Spatial curvature (mass) would be conserved, but the structure could change. ===================== Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons? Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension? Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The production of the torus may help explain the “Symmetry Violation” in Beta Decay, because one end of the broken tube section is connected to the other end of the tube produced, like a snake eating its tail. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process, which is also found in DNA molecules. Could the production of multiple writhe cycles help explain the three generations of quarks and neutrinos? If the twist cycles increase, the writhe cycles would also have a tendency to increase. Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves. ( Mass=1/Length ) The “Electric Charge” of electrons or positrons would be the result of one twist cycle being displayed at the 3D-4D surface interface of the particle. The physical entanglement of twisted tubes in quarks within protons and neutrons and mesons displays an overall external surface charge of an integer number. Because the neutrinos do not have open tube ends, (They are a twisted torus.) they have no overall electric charge. Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms. In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone, which is approximately 1/137. 1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface 137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted. The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.) How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter? Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles? I started out imagining a subatomic Einstein-Rosen Bridge whose internal surface is twisted with either a Right-Hand twist, or a Left-Hand twist producing a twisted 3D/4D membrane. This topological Soliton model grew out of that simple idea. I was also trying to imagine a way to stuff the curvature of a 3 D sine wave into subatomic particles. .===
I dont know if im being stupid, but with the atoms having so much energy as Brian says, why don't we use that on earth as a power source, to make electric and other things? Can anyone inform me if thats possible.
That's basically nuclear fusion. There are many countries involved in making it possible to make such a reactor, but for now we have to work with nuclear fission.
I believe that there is a nice way to live and an ugly way to live, God isn't my issue cause I got no problem with God I have problems with God's zealots of all faiths.
Random guy yeah that's the "funny" thing. But the thing that's just plain sad is the number of Christians that just deny the science cause it doesn't line up with their interpretation instead of reevaluating their position. Hell, all but two churches I've been to in my life still seem to think you're not a Christian unless you believe God made the earth in 7, 24 hour days some thousands of years ago.
Throughout the history of mankind technological advancements have been made by the very few to which the many have benefited. Brian Cox is one of the very few!
the camera that photographs these particles must be good. Also, how are these particles distinguished by the scientists? when you see a particle what attribute defines a particle?
The energy needed to produce these particles, plus the energy needed to slam them into each other and the mininal amount of time you have to record them is insane. Trap the particle and wait for impact then do the math! Im high and drunk and its 3am but......
Now I know what the Hawkwind song "quark, strangeness and charm" is about. By the way, Brian Cox was also a rock star in the band Dare and had a number one single in the UK with the band D ream
The intellectual curiosity and the genuine awe about it all combined with the drive to understand defines Brain Cox and is such an inspiration. Rather than let ancient superstition, wish thinking and laziness answer the unknown, he questions openly and honestly and allows the evidence to lead the way. Yet we are crippled by a world still condemned by ancient myths that says its simplistic and emotional answers transcend the literal, the physical, the demonstrable and the the unemotional and is so much more beneficial to human culture and perspective than the emotionally crippling appeal of gods, faith and religions that act to stifle ingenuity and intellectual curiosity precisely because people of faith know that their story is bunch of bull and that science will continue to demonstrate this so their political motivation is to condemn science and intellectual pursuit. And yet people still defend this insane position.
Interesting. Although, I have read a problem at CERN is so much data are available from collision event events the storage of all the outcomes is problematic. Could we have a searching for Troy effect, we dig past Homer. That is, interesting particles exist but are lost in the residuals of a particular level of energy, and, lost again, at higher levels of energy?
The thing with particle physics is that it is a whole lot of assumptions based on previous assumptions that science is now saying may not be the case. It's taught literally, when it is a model for understanding quantum behavior. For example we've identified 31 particles. However, we don't know if these particles are actually different from one another or are the same type of particle fulfilling different roles. Similarly to how a human can be a doctor or an MLB player but is still a human. When we can't explain something. We create a new label for something to apply it into our calculations and make it fit our model. But does anyone ever ask "is our mathematical model, that we developed to describe things we can observe, able to describe things we cannot observe"? What if using our current mathematical model is creating misconceptions. There are a lot of incongruities in particle physics. We prove ourselves wrong quite often. We are sometimes able to predict the outcome of particle experiments, and we presume this to indicate that our model is accurate. But it is not indicative of accuracy, it is indicative of the model working in that instance. Whenever the model doesn't work, we come up with a new label for the behavior(outcome) and we call that new behavior(or outcome) a new particle. Linguistically, this is misleading. Until these models are applied practically and accurately, I can't help but see some, not all, of particle physics as speculation akin to religion rather than an accurate representation of reality. This is where the notion "science has become a religion" comes from.
If Higgs particles give everything mass, then why are they so hard to find? If they are so difficult to create and decay so fast, how do they keep giving everything mass? Probably a stupid question, but hey!
There's a contract from the US government that is asking for property value on some kind of atom, it has something to do with light and the way that it shifts, basically what they are asking for is a material that can absorb light and refract it, it's 100% already figured out but I think they just want to do a buyout.
