I just need to do a few weeks of push ups and yoga to be able to lift it up without straining my back. In addition to your wonderful insights two things i have appreciated in your work have been: your comment about intellectual self confidence being instrumental to your elaboration and integrarion of your own ideas toward their coherence and explanatory power. I also appreciate your genuine enthusiasm for and gifts of explanation. Bravo and many thanks

Very good, thorough lecture on the history of physics! I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention Niels Bohr though. He was one of the pioneers and chief architects of quantum theory and was the first to explain the stability of atoms as well as the spectrum of hydrogen. You also didn't mention the EPR paradox and quantum entanglement, or Bose-Einstein condensates. But I guess it's next too impossible to cover all the important developments in the history of physics! Good job!

Lagrangians, Hamiltonians, Fourier transforms - all fall into the category of those things too far over my head (for me) to waste further time on. Wonder what percentage of folks out there watching this *do* understand them.Very happy that there are folks like you who "get it", but I'm thinking that those sorts of things have little in common with the level of discourse in Stephen's fine overview. Heck, I even started getting nervous when he brought up Boltzman. 🙂 I believe I also heard mention of Maxwell's equations being partial differential equations. Shivers!

Must say, I'm very impressed by humble Stephen Wolfram, much more than by Eric Weinstein who is acting out much more vanity being hurt by rejections of orthodox circles as by media and classical science. Think Wolfram is more driven by childlike interests than speculating to get a Nobel Prize some day, and he is also not interested in trademarks and authorship of some banal wordings as Eric is, hammering them penetrantly into minds so they keep on sticking and can be claimed as originated by a very special mind. Being interested in physics since a long time, started to see these emperors with no cloth like Eric. detecting an immense void inside the nothingness-loudspeakers of physics, not having achieved much I'd say for the last 50 years, Krauss, Tyson, Carroll etc. Whereas ordinary people get impressed by some equations and complexity-talk, putting these loudspeakers on high pedestals they don't deserve, I had my aha moments already. So we see lots of pretending blinders in public with their nothings, shallow thinkers wanting to appear as new Einsteins. I think Wolfram is different here, smart, humble, interest driven, and if someone I know has the substance to further Einsteins physics, its probably him and not the army of pea counters of orthodoxies.

@u.v.s.5583 4 года назад
I do love that he presents the building of his 'theory' live, and I enjoy listening to their brainstorming sessions. It is a privilege to participate to discussions like that, it is inspiring and fantastic. But presenting the 400++ years of physics only to highlight where everybody has gone wrong before proving that his new theory actually outdoes the orthodox theory does not meet my standards of defining extreme humility. Not that I care about humility. It's overrated. You do need both curiosity and confidence as big as fuck to present new ideas.

Dear Stephen, First thank you for the video. I am a great follower of your channel and I like your videos very much. I would like to make a small remark about the history of physics: you started with the Babylonian and Greek era and then suddenly you moved to the 16th century. I think it would have been more correct to give credit to the Arab-Persian and Indian civilization as well since their contributions are not less.

Science is a pursuit that draws together so many different cultures across time, it really is the heritage of all humanity. A very beautiful thing. At the 2:02:00 minute mark ... "... there is no aether, but then there is an aether...". I have to remark that this is exactly what I've been suspecting about Michelson-Morley for quite some time. I don't know how ... but it seems as if somehow they may have asked "which-way" and somehow it is buried in the experiment and we're just not seeing it. That's my suspicion but I have absolutely no valuable reason to back that up. I actually do believe that the aether is not dead, quantum field theory is the strongest area of QM (or so I've heard) and it makes zero sense that waves can travel without a medium, and I'm not at all sold on the idea that pure information is a suitable medium for wave propagation.

Fantastic video!! 1:08:40 I think you'd be very interested in some finer details on some historical points that are little known but a matter of record. This paper I've published will provide an enlightening perspective of the odd little misunderstandings around relativity but support your observations. You can find it on the Arxiv or google it as "History of the NeoClassical Interpretation of Quantum and Relativistic Physics" Additionally you'll be surprised to know interesting little tidbits I could explain beyond this paper such as the fact that the 1887 Michelson was not actually null and had the characteristic sine wave of readings one would only get from a unidirectional effect, but that's a very long story (about interferometry details) and one needs to survey much of Michelson's work and understand the context of his "1/40th" statement that led to confusion about the results. Regardless, from MacCullagh to Kelvin, up through Einstein, there is a unified view that wends its way up to the modern day that only a deep study of history reveals; which seems to be an interest you and I share. 1:12:39 Here you make a point I've been working almost daily for 15 years to establish more widely and promulgate. Your wording indicates you might have actually run into a few of my thousands of pages of publicly available work (high level explanations) or a derivative of it or perhaps someone else who has. I'm part of a discussion group of physicists, biologists, and computer scientists exploring how these sorts of topics (like networks) relate to neuroscience, fundamental cellular biomechanics, semiotics, and eventually AGI. (one of which is a notorious rebel among nobel laureates.) I think you'd really bring a lot to the discussion if you joined us. In fact your discussion about Ads/CFT corresponds with a discussion going on right now and makes me suspect we are probably only socially separated by a single degree.

My only comment is on Stephen's interpretation of what Copernicus did. Copernicus thought his theory was better because it was more elegant and beautiful than Ptolemy. He wasn't just trying to improve the technical details of Ptolemy (in fact his predications were worse). He was a neo platonist. I got this from reading Kuhn's The Copernican Revolution and Own Gingrich's Nicolas Copernicus Making the Earth A planet

@JaySmith91
@JaySmith91 4 года назад
Modern psychology teaches us that charlatans convince even the most intelligent people in society. Stephen Wolfram is obviously an intelligent person, but he also has had some sort of grandiose sense of self-importance; a god complex. He published a verbose book and presented some sensationalist talks on 'game of life' type algorithms, promising them to be 'a new kind of science'. It turns out it was a lot of self-delusion. There has been a lot of strong criticism about that book - As I see it, he desperately wants the world to be discrete, completely ignoring the success of quantum mechanics explaining the wave-nature of the universe. In some ways he's like a Plato-worshipper with a 21st century education. I know I've only focussed on the negatives of Dr Wolfram, but I want to stress that we need to really stop worshipping people like Stephen as infallible geniuses, and really need to learn that not only can we ourselves be duped by scams and pseudoscience-peddlers, we can fool ourselves. It's in our psychology; it's in our DNA.

The Roman philosopher-poet Lucretius' scientific poem "On the Nature of Things" (c. 60 BC) has a remarkable description of the motion of dust particles in verses 113-140 from Book II. He uses this as a proof of the existence of atoms:(Brownian Motion to follow) Observe what happens when sunbeams are admitted into a building and shed light on its shadowy places. You will see a multitude of tiny particles mingling in a multitude of ways... their dancing is an actual indication of underlying movements of matter that are hidden from our sight... It originates with the atoms which move of themselves [i.e., spontaneously]. Then those small compound bodies that are least removed from the impetus of the atoms are set in motion by the impact of their invisible blows and in turn cannon against slightly larger bodies. So the movement mounts up from the atoms and gradually emerges to the level of our senses so that those bodies are in motion that we see in sunbeams, moved by blows that remain invisible.

While I appreciate wolfram, his beginning section on greek traditions in physics is missing the "source codes' from kemet. In kemet, you get closert to a theory of everything more than anything in the greeks, romans, enlightenment, all the way to quantum mathematics of the late 19th century. And only now are mathematicians and philosophers touching waht was long forgotten by egypt.

Kepler is an under-appreciated thinker. It’s not accurate to say that his laws of motion were derived from the mathematics of the ellipse. His second law, which came first, results from his physical theory that distance from the sun determines the speed of a planet within its orbit. The rotational speed is inversely proportional to the distance from the sun - this results in the area relationship in his “second law.” The ellipse itself resulted from two physical forces that Kepler believed caused the planetary motions. His physics was not entirely correct, but his approach went beyond mathematically modeling to arrive at the right results. He insisted on knowing causes, as expressed in the full title of his Astronomia Nova.
