I read this comment at the exact time he says it! O.o

Start with the simplest possible all-pervasive, quantised physical particle field as the subspace matter-energy (CHARGE) field from which to emerge the forces of nature... -- +ve charge balls (quanta cell, +1, pixie dust) held together by -ve 'subspace gas'.... A close-packed magic crystal ball.. I mean dual particle field theory. -- Cells knocked free form a positron and the hole left behind an electron. These vibrate the field at C, sending out 'blip' spheres. Blips are a cell moving outwards and then back into its balance point... Blips compress the the field laterally as the blipping cell squeezes through the 3 in front, and back... A e- or p+ moving up and down (ie, from-to an atomic ground state) forms, a transverse light wave blip pattern forms. -- All electrons and positrons have the same phase in time but are half a cell apart as electron focals points move from cell to cell, and positrons' from cell gap to cell gap, so their blips are opposite phase... A universal clock emerges as the first load of e- / p+ pairs formed during the Big Bang formed at exactly the same time.. -- Same charge, opposite direction blips repel when they collide, sending repulsive force back to each charge particle... Opposite charge, opposite direction blips are in sync, resulting in a 'flux tube' as an AC field vibration (each cell moves back and forth by half a cell, in unison, with -ve gas and +ve cells moving back and forth in perfect contrary motion, never finding their balance)... Vibration recoil experienced by charged particles at all times pushes the 2 particles together along this smooth, in-sync path. -- When 2 positrons collide with enough energy and/or ar precisely'roughly the right angles another field cell is knocked free, with the newly created electron-positron pair and one of the 2 original positrons forms a Proton in an instant, as 2 half neutralised positrons sandwiching 1 electron,, with the spare positron ejected by the positive Proton... NO ANTIMATTER CATASTROPHE.... Also, when a high energy photon hits a Proton it can bang the two positrons closer together, so they squeeze out another field cell, forming a * NEW * electron-positron pair... -- All atomic structures can be balanced using only Positrons and Electrons as the building blocks of matter... All nuclear reactions can be balanced using * NEW * electron-positron pairs where needed... A 3rd neutral charge to better match QCD is possible but not required to balance nuclear reactions -- POSITRONS ARE GRAVITONS too..... Each positron attracts -1 of -ve subspace gas away from the rest of the universe... This CAN mean voids expanding (DARK ENERGY) as matter forms. possibly with local cell gap and/or size shrinking around matter, possibly with a quantum gravity well around each nucleus as part of The Strong Force... Gravity is an all pervasive subspace charge gradient... -- Relativity can be added in by saying light (electrostatic blip) energy moves from cell to cell in an absolute fixed time + Dark Energy expansion with Big Bang expansion on top leads to red/blue shifted galaxies.. You can have as much or as little quantised gravity and dark energy as you like.. It's a powerful model. -- Double Slit Experiment fires an electron at the right hand slit out of two... The preceding electron blip field diffracts through the slit and interferes, forming regions of turbulence and calm... The electron focal point always goes through the slit it is pointed at, but hits a random calm path as it leaves the slit, then follows the calm path to the detector, forming interference patterns... Extra detectors interfere with the diffracted interference pattern.

The Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity theories dont talk to each other. And in the case QM, there is no agreement on how to interpret the theory with serious fundamental problems involving the measurement/observer problem and other issues. GR fails at the singularity. It’s not entirely clear how these issues will be resolved, but one thing is certain, a new theory and approach is required. It’s insufficient to simply say “shut up and calculate” or the equations predict most phenomena with great accuracy. If that was the criteria, scientists would not have moved past Newtonian or Classical mechanics. Of all the Scientific disciplines, Physics is the least complex. It also relies on the most number of spherical cows. It is the soft bed which science rests on - the easy science. It hides behind its idealism and childish mechanistic neuroticism

Good question

This just sounds like another way of asking "what is dark energy?" So, uh... they'll have to get back to you on that.

when someone figures it out, you'll be on the list of people who should know.

Sabine hossenfelder has a video about what energy is

who said that you need energy in order to create more spacetime?

That's pretty much the basis for quantum teleportation.

The plank length is the smallest length MEASURABLE, not the smallest length that exists

I'm not a physicist, but I think a cell-like quantisaton would be problematic because it would violate the principle that physical laws work the same regardless of one's position and velocity. For example, if we use a 3D cube grid, then the movement along axes x,y,z of that grid would (presumably) be fundamentally different from a diagonal movement. Moreover, one would be able to tell if they're moving with respect to the grid or not (which is not allowed either). I wonder if there's a way to quantise the space that does not suffer from these violations.

@@JeanPierreWhite What if I shoot/measure capybara 3 times and results show 1m and 25plancks, 1m and 28plancks, 1m and 31plancks. Would this mean that each measurement moved/moves capybara by 3 planck distances and now all I need to do is reduce result by 3 planck lengths?

I’ve always wondered this.

Yea

Honestly it would make a much better base unit of measure over the meter because it is truly universal

It's funny, the shorter the measurement the longer the explanation. Lol

I still don't get if planck length is like a pixel, or the smallest an object can be

Achilles.........

@@avhuf Spanish spelling.

An earlier episode addressed this. Once Achilles comes within a Planck length of the hare, his distance to it becomes undefined. Uncertainty in position means he could be ahead of it or behind it, and enough measurements at that instant in time will show him ahead. At that point the distance increases again.

no, he said that when he's within a Planck length of the tortoise, they both get swallowed by a black hole and re-radiate as a new tortoise and Achilles.

Huh. Interesting question. Does the Planck length grow with the universe's expansion? But yeah, I already see the issue with that question: grow compared to what?

@@lonestarr1490 smart thinking ... but our reference frames are not fixed to space-time. If it were then we would have been unable to measure the effects of the expansion at all which is definately no the case(#hubbleexpansion#darkenergy#cosmologicalstandardmodel). So, the answer according to me(I'm just a teenager so I'm not 100% sure tho) is that with the expansion of the universe more of these plank units get added to fill the space or should I say 'spacetime' ... the plank length is just an unit so it does not have to follow any 'conservation of energy' stuff!

Would it be too random to declare my intend to recommend my fellow science-youtuber-fans some... well... more science-youtuber? I mean, in my mind, it just makes sense, but many call me B0t, so... your choice...

But I still don't get it, is the planck length like a pixel or is it just as small as an object can be?

@@kevincronk7981 it's the smallest length that you can measure something. measuring takes energy, and measuring the position or momentum of something smaller than the planck length causes a black hole the size of the planck length

@@kevincronk7981 It's a bit more abstract than that. Planck length is the minimum meaningful distance between distinct features. In case of pixelated images, planck length is the inverse of resolution. If you try to zoom into the image beyond that point, you are no longer getting any more details. You're just getting an upscaled blurrier/blockier version of the original image, with no additional detail. The important bit to understand, is that pixelization is not the only thing that can create this effect of minimum meaningful distance. There are other mathematical ways you can get that effect. Pixelization is just the most intuitive one, that people are most familiar with.

@@kevincronk7981 No, if the universe was made out of small cube pixels, there would be 3 special or privileged directions. The universe would not be isotropic and we would probably be able to detect that. The creation of new cubes in an expanding universe would also be problematic. This problem is eliminated in theories like Loop Quantum Gravity. Here little loops get created in a isotropic way

By my understanding... a photon itself has no inherent mass, but its energy is equivalent to mass (E = mc^2). So as the photon's energy increases, its energy "mass" has a greater effect on space, until at a certain energy the extreme curvature forms an event horizon.

Its really a big realization for many at a certain point. If you direct a flashlight towards a black hole, it also grows. You could even focus so many superlasers to the same point, that you create a black hole in the process.

@@AliothAncalagon There's actually a specific term for that kind of black hole creation: a kugelblitz.

@@paulgoodwin8840 yes yes isnt there a pbs episode on it from ~5 years ago. Making a black hole from light is *theoretically* possible, sort of, if you find a way to concentrate so much light, which is likely the impossible, but if it were to exist in a concentrated volume (the difficult bit) it would form one.

Energy bending spacetime happens constantly around you when you feel gravity. The mass of our planet and of your own body comes mostly from energy, the energy of the quarks in your body and of the gluons binding them together. The inherent mass of quarks and electrons (due to the higgs boson field) makes up a very very tiny percentage of our mass.

It's like, if you are not smaller than a Plank length, you cannot fit into the hole, thus you bounce against the screen/net/universal blanket/fabric of spacetime.

@@jasondelong83 -- That's like how superluminal warp bubble could exists, but there no way to get anything to that speed to make them.

That's why quantum states break down when observed - the computer is running an approximation of electromagnetic waves - until higher precision is called upon. This suggests that the simulation isn't to study life like us - a super-intelligence wouldn't allow us to see anything afoot if it cared that WE did. Probably just studying the formation of a universe and we are just emergent properties of a highly detailed simulation.

so i need 1 billion years to make a torch i guess

@@JohnnyWednesday I've also considered this, that when we get to measuring stuff that's too small, the system just relies on random number generation to give us any kind of answer, because it doesn't really matter that much in terms of how things are observed at whatever scale the simulation is built to model. Much like a weather simulation doesn't need to map the temperature of every last inch to get an overall picture of how the air pockets are going to interact over miles and miles. Of course there's no way to prove this idea, but to me it seems like a possible answer as to why we can't be certain about things that are so small.

However ,I dont think that we should use the subject of the simulation (our universe) as the basis of an argument againt the likelihood of there being some structure that can run the simulation. If we are, in fact ,a contained virtual structure, we cannot directly interact with the physical universe running the simulation, and without any knowledge on the set of" possible universes " we cannot make any meaningful comments on its feasibility.

This comment is underrated. And I think applies to ANY field. I had this same epiphany in my early days of computer science. And now much further in my career I realize it's more and more true. So many concepts I just didn't understand. I didn't have that "lightbulb" moment yet of "ohhhh now I get it". But the key is to keep pushing through. Keep learning the new concepts that build on it, and in your own time revisit the concepts you didn't understand. Asking questions is very important at this stage. Eventually - you get your "now i get it!" moment. Every person has this moment at different times. The problem is when you think of yourself as "dumb" because it's taking you longer then others. Every expert in every field had to push through his period of "not understanding" a topic. And don't let any expert lie to you and say they didn't. RU-vid channels like this are amazing. They provide the tools to keep pushing yourself and your understanding. and for free! There's a lot wrong with the internet.

@@mertkocogullar6485 So you proved spacetime is not discrete?

If it’s a quantum force then there’s a nonzero probability that the force might move one space pixel even if the objects are separated by a great distance

General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are infamous for not getting along.

Gravity is not really a force - this has been covered in Space Time previously - so, gravity does not move anything but rather, space curvature/time does.

Speed is distance over time. If your distance value is fixed by looking at it on the planck length scale, time is what grows. Gravity could thereby continue to have an effect regardless of distance because there is no maximum time interval.

And, unlike most jobs in this world, learning is productive!

So to say that there would be no reason to process the universe at a specific scale is ludicrous.

Maybe it's a sphere with a diameter of a planck length?

Yes, if spacetime was voxel-shaped on those scales, then you could define some sort of absolute coordinate-axis in the universe, but there is probably some non-intuitive thing going on that prevents you from defining any shape, whatever this might be.

The Planck Length is the same in all direction, but what you're really asking is how space is quantized at the most fundamental level, which we don't know, because we don't really know if it's effectively quantized. Also, because space and time are part of the same thing, you should really ask how a 4 dimensional spacetime is tesselated, and, if that 4 dimensional spacetime is effectively quantized, the answer is probably by a 4 dimensional polytope, or a 3-sphere, or, something like that, always considering that 1 of the dimensions you're considering it's not space, but time.

yes, it's the same in all directions. i think it doesn't need to tile spacetime, because the point is that distances smaller than it are undefined, which seems perfectly fine with just a metric space where the metric doesn't include distances smaller than the planck length. but i'm not sure.
