TEDxBoulder - Thad Roberts - Visualizing Eleven Dimensions 

yeah that was absurd .................15 minutes what a joke -_-

He knew how much time he had. poor planning

I am impressed that he explained so much in such a limited time. He did great for only having 15 minutes to do the entire presentation.

He did a good job.

@@daniel_dumile He could have spent more time "planning" to impress you or he could have spent it working on quantum physics. Difficult choice.

And as everyone says, we wish he had more time (and space)

I mean that's relative. A highly intelligent person could say he dumbed it down.

@@brocq18 wrote, _"I mean that's relative. A highly intelligent person could say he dumbed it down."_ Actually, a highly intelligent person wouldn't say such a thing. Here's why: It's generally agreed that 3 heuristics for effective communication are: 1. Know your content; 2. Know your audience; 3. Tailor the content (i.e., 'encode the message') for maximal comprehension by the intended audience. From this we understand that presenting quantum physics at a TEDx talk is 'tailored to the audience' of practical necessity. Were he to present this at a conference for quantum physicists, it would be tailored (encoded) appropriately. Highly intelligent people understand this practical necessity of encoding for the intended audience -- they likely wouldn't find any value in referring to such encoding considerations in a disparaging manner ('dumbing it down'). Such language is less about being 'highly intelligent' than it is about one's ego posturing superiority. Our word choices matter much more than we may imagine. They also may reveal things to others that we ourselves may not be consciously aware of yet that happen to be true, e.g., egoic posturing. And, when invited to consider such subtlety, even the tendency to minimize its importance may suggest egoic self-protection mechanisms, and this may be regardless whether such mechanisms are conscious or subconscious.

+MrGrevy Physics transcends Race, for the laymen

+MrGrevy Affirmative action in physics has NOTHING to do with whether or not a black person can "visualize " or interpret "this stuff" you ignorant bigot. What exactly am i "unaware " of?? Please enlighten me

+MrGrevy He's not an affirmative action anything, he's a brilliant scientist who earned his degrees and his respect in the field. He's smarter than me and the vast majority of my (white) friends.

***** He's already earned his degrees (and several awards.) What he chooses to do with his career is his choice.

***** Fair enough. I don't see how that makes him 'affirmative action' though, there are plenty of white scientists with a very similar career and level of fame. Bill Nye is a prime example. To be honest, I'm not sure I know where anybody is trying to go with this conversation, actually.

Unfortunately it's more just mathematics than that. Ex. A*b*c*d=0 is an equation with four parameters or, four dimensions.

This last one is short and similar to this Ted talks introduction

5 years after your comment (10 years since the talk) and this is still the best presentation on the topic.

Remembering that his is an unconventional visualization of the dimensions. There are almost countless configurations of the multispace that meet the requirements. Ore weirdness. That's why I like his. Its not weird. But I still want to know the basis of his statement that pressure affects speed

@@ilikeycoloralot but dimensions are not fundamental, but rather emergent from consciousness.

THANK YOU 🙏❣️

Time and space are not interchangeable the way energy and matter are. Time is not a spatial dimension. Time is simply that which permits movement. Because movement means velocity, and because velocity is calculated as distance over time, time is required for matter to exist. There is no past "time" and no "future" time - those are not "places" you can visit. There is only ever now, forever.

Exactly. Thought the same thing.

same, that was quite jarring to realize

+isambo400 Oh my gosh I'm dying! :'D

+isambo400 Thad Roberts is a physicist who first came into the public spotlight for his role in the theft of 100 grams (3.5 oz) of lunar samples from the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas while being a co-op at the facility. Roberts was sentenced to 100 months in federal prison for the crime. Roberts used this time to explore the mysteries of modern physics, taking a particular interest in the philosophical postures of Bohmian mechanics, and Superfluid Vacuum Theory. Today he works as a theoretical physicist for a private think tank which is financing the research into his candidate Grand Unified Theory: quantum space theory (qst).[2] He is a public speaker for the American Program Bureau

Jon Starace you wasted your comment..I can't understand sarcasm.

Murali Krishna Nepalli that's cool Info!! This guy and his theory have intrigued me!

@Murali Krishna Nepalli : LoL, same. I think just autists can understand metaphysical questions with the rigor of science. Others just think their better in science and giving lessons.

*hypothesis

The theory is most likely rubbish, but I can't be sure because the presentation is so bad that it's basically just slinging around weird concepts from actual physics together with words like "superspacial" and "interspacial" without defining them or how they fit together. He tells us virtually nothing about his theory except that it can explain everything, but don't ask how, just be awed.

@@siquod I agree that it was really rushed but he didn't have enough time. Would have loved to hear more on how quantum tunneling, garvity, dark matter/energy and universal constants can be derived from the model but he barely had the time to cover all the topics so I don't blame him.

@@samsam18200 Remember, theories are models which are supported by all the available evidence!

@@samsam18200 Everything we know so far was once theories. it perfectly explains a lot of things at once. At least its not "Fake news"

@@samsam18200 did you get what i meant ? I didnt pass it of as truth or answer .i said it perfectly fits there but they need to prove it thats what i implied when i said "Everything we know so far was once theories" means it later was proved.some people have hard time believing things when it get out of their perception of reality an eg is flat earther.

I wish he was more comfortable up there though, it was kind of a hard presentation to watch despite him being knowledgeable and the topic being fascinating, as someone who presents and trains people on a lot of complex scientific data I didn’t feel at all that he didn’t know the the topic, but rather that he was just very nervous and that made him a bit disorganized. Anyone know where to find more of his stuff I’m not finding much on YT

JK google scholar maybe

Yeah the xyz of our spacial 3d world, the xyz of cuantom scale space (because rules are different from one scale of space to the cuantom one), and in the quantum world within each particle themself the xyz of the volume within the particle (because rules again are different inside than outside of the particle and in cuantum space). At least that i think he said xD

One caveat to this....it depends on reliable observation! This is theoretical! If we observe events, we identify patterns! If we can not observe them,...then they are singularities! We can not fully observe the universe so it is a singularity as far as we can prove, which means there is not pattern or formula that repeats! It is like studying the whole body! We are at the phalanges in knowledge predicting the whole system which is a body based off of very limited information! When it comes to this topic we are really playing with probability...and I am curious about what he observed?

I didn't understood that... I think he just said space can be thinked as a "thing" (for lack of a better word) and if you do so, you can project it with more than three dimensions... but those are not worlds like in rick and morty, those are only directions available in space, that's why he talks about geometry so much and nothing out of this world or different properties as you said, he actually talked about the same phenomenons we can see like density, temperature and elasticity, which is weird... That's what i got, hopefully it helps you, everything is probably wrong tho xd And don't forget the foot note of the video, this talk is not proven or accepted as far as I know. (tho i really liked it :3)

Imagine pockets of 3 dimensional space interacting with each other as atoms do. From within the pocket of space (as we are), it seems as though there is a consistent measurement, a metre is always a metre. However, outside of the pockets, these lengths can be different, because although the pockets of space feel connected to us, there is actually space between them. Which is especially interesting when you think of how a solid object you can hold in your hand is actually a bunch of atoms influencing each other, a bunch of pool balls bouncing around at each other. Which is probably why the guy used a pool table for the initial example.

Your right, say 3 marbles each has 3 dimensions and they individually move in concert or individually

Come back its very interesting.

Yep, nearly did the same but there were a couple of light bulb moments after.

Just close your eyes while you listen and mentally envision his words. It's just imagination and mathematics.

...for a theory of everything! :-))

Well - they don't agree yet. But after interacting with a bunch of 'em, for no good reason. It took Einstein 30yrs to establish his general relativity. Without an ego problem and not much time and energy wasted on string- & m-theory and the standard model, (after intense study for almost 2yrs) I've come to the conclusion that QST is with 95-99% probability the real deal and Thad Roberts the next Einstein. It is even an extended ToE (Theory of everything) at that with huge implications on physics, astro-physics, philosophy and even religion... Occam's razor is in favor of QST about 9:1 against any other theory out there and none of them comes even close to explain so many mysteries so intuitively. - only two axioms required (space is quantized at the planck length and the vacuum behaves like a superfluid) - no dark matter required - no dark energy required - explains beautifully what is time?! - explains beautifully what is gravity?! - solution of the wave-particle "duality" (spoiler alert: it's ALWAYS a particle. Bohmian mechanics will replace quantum mechanics) - Heisenberg uncertainty principle explained - and eliminated with the higher resolution perspective of 11 dimensions - SIMPLE formula for ALL constants of nature based ONLY on the 5 Planck basic units, Pi and Zhe (Je) (new constant, pi measured over maximum curved space. Zhe = 0.08424543...) - provides an INTUITIVE way to think in 11 dimensions, even for lay persons! - removes the need for the esoteric and arbitrarily invented probability vector of qm which nobody can explain how and why it should collapse - I myself found a hypothesis, how QST could explain super conductivity - and finally: QST is so simple and intuitive, it will be falsified in no time, IF WRONG!

ahh - you know me so well to have an opinion about me MrGrevy. Study the book first before you call other people you don't know uninformed... And for the unproven: qm, string-, m-, holographic- and all the other theories are PROVEN - right? They are maybe more ESTABLISHED than QST right now, but that's gonna change... Watch it. No need to be rude. Time will tell who was right and who was - well, whatever you are...

“Connected” well worded.

You are not alone. It's called the Dunning-Kruger-sense. Look it up.

@@siquod you delight in doing things like this. I’m quite sure I’ve seen your posts in other places.

So he modified String Theory?

Nikolaos Skordilis No, its a new theory altogether. Instead of strings and membranes, its a super fluid. I'm not sure what the super fluid spheres are made up of yet. Your guess is as good as mine.

it's magic i mean the spheres

So why am I trying to understand this?

I don't think so. I am very certain that everything is made out of vibrating particles and vibrating strings.

Have you rewatched it yet?

Hey I'm back, w t f? Ah.

XLNT insight.... reverse Zeno's Paradox. Beautiful. Thanks!

Yeah. Both amps and temperature should be combined into a common unit of energy. Energy can change forms, just like mass can.

Volume, turn it up or down. intensity. amps = Volume - turn it up or down. Temperature - ice, water, steam, or super cooled liquid - perhaps oxygen or hydrogen. Each composed of quanta, except - amps or volume - intensity. Amps describes the intensity of the function.

+Richie Lane The whole point of quantum mechanics... is it doesn't require explanation and even if you could explain it you could never apply it to anything tangible.

Stick to the drawing.

Watch intersteller. It's based on this.

+vv Mako vv Well - actually that is not true. But if you understood QST, you'll certainly understand "Interstellar" much better - and where they make mistakes. (no wormholes in QST, space is 9-dimensional with 2 temporal dimensions - not only 5 as in Interstellar). And the "gravity-waves through time" is esoteric and not compatible with QST. But they were correct about how time slows down near masses - THAT as well is beautifully explained in QST - next to gravity, uncertainty principle, super conductivity, wave-particle duality - and much more...

Buy his book for more in depth.

He left me after he said Good Evening

That's because that's what they are. All theories are just our best approximations of how things work. We've gotten many of them to a point where we can't find any observable discrepancy between a given theory's predictions and measurable reality - and I guess at that point we can say it's a law of nature, a perfect theory, unquestionable truth - but many theories need refining or even complete replacement to get to that point. Perhaps with something like these ideas, I don't know. What I know is that we have a long way to go, but we're getting there faster than ever. And that's awesome.

Jan Babiuch-Hall just look at the history of gravity. Newton's laws worked perfectly until Einstein came along....a theory can make accurate prediction's and still be an incorrect picture of reality. what makes this QST interesting to me, is that it provides a great framework to re-imagine many of our existing theories that currently "work".

more like "uh" moments. be honest.

Oh

Wrong. Temperature is fundamental because it defines the limits at which quanta shift between states.

Not wrong. That doesn't make it fundamental, when you can re-cast it in terms of the other quantities.

I see. So can you please inform me as to how one can, say, use a voltmeter to "recast in terms of the other quantities" and determine how warm it is outside?

Who said anything about a voltmeter, or volts, for that matter? No electromagnetic quantities are needed to do this. Absolute temperature, T, is, in physical dimension terms, energy per particle in a substance. Energy = mass * length²/time² "per particle" means per counting number; thus, dimensionless; a pure number. So in the end, T ~ ML²/t² And that's what I mean by "casting it in terms of other quantities." 1 Kelvin = (some mathematical constant)*kg·m²/s² And that, in turn, casts its unit in the standardly-accepted units of those other quantities.

ffggddss I was being a bit facetious with that example, but there was a reason .... to wit, you can obviously restate Planck temperature in values of energy using unity at the Planck scale, but you still need the Boltzmann constant to convert at the boundary of states (e.g. where entropy calculations become relevant in describing a system).

Lol

Yeah, don't judge him.

It does mean that he is probably ( if even slightly) insane.

I agree with you stiletto, we all do dumb things when we are young. He was like 20 years old and did it for some hot intern he was having an affair with. Not like he was stealing the rocks for the Russians or Iran or something.

Also, he served his time, he's learnt a lesson, and he is LESS of a criminal now than before, not more

He didn't just "break the law", he stole moon rocks. This was an immoral act and absolutely needs to be stigmatized. It does mean he is a lesser person. It does mean it is okay for people to judge him. He is not stigmatized for "doing time". He is stigmatized for being a thief. Learn that.

You probably shouldn't. This guy claims to be a physicist but does not have a degree in physicists. He was in prison when real physicists would be working on their PhD.

I totally got it and am actualising my life in 11D.

I know right? I'm dissapointed.

what ? I think that he explained how the universe " works " in eleven dimensions.

Toulouse Ben he has no idea what a dimension is.

Maybe, i'm not a scientist so i won't say anything but, yeah idk he seems to know what he's talking about.

where can I read about this?

We already know about the 4th dimension - and its out "flatland" - we know it as time. We cannot get above or below it, to the left or the right of it, we can't even go back on it, only forward. As 3rd dimensional entities, we cannot do a damn thing with or about it. And who knows where the 5th dimension is.... Maybe that is the "flatland" of whatever is in the 4th dimension.

We are already in 4D. You can't meet someone at a place, without there being a time. Time is that 4th dimension.

its possible we can't recognize it, but maybe it's the ghosts we see, or the orbs or other dimensions that cross our path.

Time is not the fourth dimension

+Maurizio Bocchetta Adding more dimensions to our model of the universe is actually the opposite of "human brain friendly". They are not intuitive for brains that think in 3 spatial dimensions, and that is why physicists came to these conclusions through understanding phenomena conceptually through math. Although visualizations of higher dimensions can be useful, it is actually impossible for us to 'see' the many higher dimensions in a meaningful way. As far as I understand more dimensions make sense mathematically and provide predictions as to how the universe should work that have passed many experiments. The details of the geometry for the dimensions/how many exist is more debated than the existence of many dimensions.

I agree with you 100%, that is not debatable. Still, math is a product of the human brain. It appears that a theory has appeal for its elegance, simplicity, etc. Still, it sounds like a human interpretation. Please forgive me, but I still need to recover for my teenage infatuation with Immanuel Kant...

+Luis Valenzuela Maybe it's just relatively "brain friendly". After all String Theory is admired for it's mathematical constancy. Not because it's been observed.

+Maurizio Bocchetta-Absolutely anything above three or four is fairly uselees, meaningless. As is stated upper, it would make the most sense to say there for being more "friendly". However, if the theory/hypothesis proves correcto, it'd make Quantum Mechanics drastically easier(if not in the very least substantially)..

That is a good point. It could be a subconscious way for are brain to make sense of otherwise complex information. The brain is always subconsciously noticing patterns, so when there is no pattern, it gets confused.

I love how Rick and Morty quotes permeate the comment sections on youtube physics videos. Thank you good sir, for reminding me of one my favourite moments, just as I was finished grasping the concept of the 6th dimension :)

Can you explain the quote please?

A robot (that the character, Rick, endowed with sentience) had experienced an existential crisis. The robot was designed to pass butter. The robot, after initially passing butter, realized that he was specifically designed for that purpose alone. Nothing special about it. The robot, becoming aware of this, proceeds to have its own existential meltdown. This relates in many ways to people. Whether or not we are special, our purpose is, in many ways, as trivial as passing butter. Grow up, feel emotions, bear offspring, rinse and repeat. If the human race is truly only part of a much bigger physical supermanifestation, then we might as well just all be passing butter.

thank you auj Ind! I didn't know that Rick and Morty was such a good show! I'll have to check it out, thanks

Did you get any of that?

I think you meant Chad. 😎

@@EllaSqueaks I think you lost your mother in a car accident yesterday, and you are simply coping with this event’s consequences.

Yep - the math works out like a charm - and it even presents ALL constants of nature as simple formula based on pi, the 5 Planck natural units - and zhe - a new constant relatet to pi, but the boundary for maximum curved space. For more details, check out: einsteinsintuition.com/what-is-qst/constants-of-nature/ For the math: that already exists in the form of Bohmian mechanics - the deterministic version of quantum mechanics.

Let's say I believe it. And it's not "just" another theory. Why is it so slow to reach mainstream? I mean it makes sense to me, taking away the equations and presumed solutions to the equations. But have you tried to prove it wrong?

Today's scientific community is afraid of taking risks (you could lose your reputation if you put your name behind sth that could potentially be wrong. And job and salary with it. So it is much safer to just repeat what is already established. Only evolutionary progress possible because of that :-( ) Generally it is a good thing to be very skeptical. But it shouldn't be an excuse to not or just superficially examine such a promising new theory seriously according the standards of the scientific method (really - most scientists just browsed through QST for 2min until they found sth that didn't correlate with their current opinion. Done. None of them cared to understand the full picture and the beauty of it. We have to educate new PhD's at the beginning of their career to get it moving. That's why it will take a long time - no doubt about that. Quantum Space Theory QST & pilot wave theory do suggest testable and falsifiable predictions. This work is now under way. If Occam's razor is worth anything, QST is far superior to any presently "established" (and contradictory) theory, as it explains everything with the least amount of axioms (2) and assumptions (0) or crutches like dark energy or dark matter (0) or ANY FORCES... . ...and then let's not forget: Einstein took 30yrs to establish his general relativity! Let's hope we move a little bit faster thanks to the internet this time... . ...and last but not least: it's a psychological problem. Physicists are humans like you and me. Nobody likes to change his believes he hold onto dearly for many years. It includes to admit that you were wrong. Plus you've spent a lot of time and effort to run in another direction. Nobody likes to drop that. And then there is a lot of ego. It wasn't YOU who found the new theory... That's my (frustrating) experience from 2yrs of introducing "established" scientists to QST. It's like leaning against a supertanker. You need a very long breath to get it moving, but once it starts moving... So - you're very welcome to join the club, leaning against the supertanker, spreading the word. A good start would be to like and share this page: facebook.com/QuantumSpaceTheory/

To paraphrase, "One death at a time..." Unless one actually has the math locked up, then venture forward and fear none.

Sean Hardy Thank you.

you actually can hear him talk and explain QST much more in detail here: facebook.com/QuantumSpaceTheory

Well it sure doesn't happen every day that somebody compiles a reasonable theory, but it is still an unavoidable part of science. We used to think that the world was flat, but somebody theorized that it was round, and after quite some time, the theory was proven. Even Isaac Newton was thought to be crazy at first. The fact that the theory exists and is being considered gives the possibility for technological innovations that can be used to test and maybe prove the theory. In the end, the theories that it disagrees with are just as unproven. It proves that there is another way to explain red shift, etc.

Sometimes the answer the the craziest of things are simple...

Sure, being skeptical is the way new science discoveries get proved :D
