Go to audible.com/thescienceasylum or text 'thescienceasylum' to 500 500 to get started today. Is energy always conserved? Well, Noether's theorem in combination with Lagrangian mechanics and general relativity tells us that isn't true in general.

Emmy Noether is quite likely the most intelligent person of the 20th century. Brutally intelligent.. Physics had a crisis that no one could solve so they asked her for help.. She proceeded to formulate her theorem which links continuous symmetries to conservation laws. Her field is abstract mathematics (abstract algebra to be precise) and was described as reasoning about operators in a completely different way than her peers. She was a professor in the most prestigious math college in germany but because women weren't allowed to teach at college back then she had to officially work under the name of a collegue and without pay... For years the most brilliant mathematician was teaching students at the top faculty for mathematics and she did it for free

Weird how this is still widely regarded as an exact law of physics, altrough it is known to not hold for a long time. Another one is the 2nd law of thermodynamics: there's an extremely small, but non-zero probability for entropy to decrease in an isolated system.

Let's not forget how quantum theory shakes it left and right as well. That said, for most applications treating energy anything other than conserved is very pedantic and totally unhelpful. I'm sure NASA hasn't even thought about it when sending space probes to the wastelands of the outer solar system. That said, while Noether's Theorem makes a big dent into the holy priciple of the concervation of energy, the concervation of energy for a long time indeed has been a holy foundation of physics like so many other asumptions. Newtonian physics was improved by the relativity. Atoms once were considered indivisible, then electrons and the nucleus were discovered, it was discovered that the nucleus is made from two types of particles which eventually again were discovered to be composed from yet smaller bits and pieces. Like so many principles one should keep in mind that they're helpful shorthands that hold up when looking at things from a certain distance but fail close scrutiny.

About 02:40: I learned it differently: Any (continuous) symmetry of _action_ leads to a conserved quantity. This is not the same because it's both a one-way implication. NOETHERs theorem, as I learned it, means that you might have a conserved quantity without a symmetry of acton behind it but not the other way: If a quantity's conservation is violated, the underlying symmetry must also be so.

I like this guy, he includes all the caveats and edge cases. And this is one. It's possible to stick an extra term for spacetime into the energy density of the universe such that it's still conserved. But that quantity is dependent on the coordinate system you choose. In other words, it's not a thing, not physical, just a bookkeeping contrivance. If I recall correctly, this whole issue really hung up Einstein when he was developing general relativity. He felt there ought to be a conserved contribution to his energy-momentum tensor for spacetime itself. But he couldn't do it in a coordinate-independent way and he eventually just gave up on it, which let him move forward. Not long after, Emmy Noether clarified what the trouble was.

@Hexcede 2 года назад

What do you think about this? If you say energy must have a constant rate of change per unit time, you solve everything super nicely. Energy by definition only means something *over time*, because really, what you care about is *not* conservation of *energy*, but actually conservation of *work*, which is just the transfornation or "consumption" of energy over time. You can gain energy, but you can't gain work. You can then redefine the cosmological constant not as the rate of change of the expansion of space, but instead as a rate of how quickly time slows at a given velocity. This is scarily similar to the thought experiment of how light speed travel would effect your perception of time relative to other objects. The expansion of space is by definition absolute and goes against the core of relativity, but the slow of time by an amount proportional to speed is relative and produces the same perception, or others which differ by the relative speed of an object. If it takes longer to reach a destination, it is perceived to be further, but that does not mean it is, just like traveling towards or away from galaxies causes the light to shift, which you could potentially explain as the exact same phenomenon, as relative movement to the light we perceive slowing or speeding the passage of time. That would imply that light red shifts as it travels not because the space it travels through is growing, but because our perception of how much time has passed for the light to arrive has grown from a strictly linear amount. In other words, time can be thought of as a rate of change of velocity as much as velocity can be thought of as a rate of change of time, they are both equal quantities by this definition.

@The Science Asylum What makes you so sure that the energy gain from dark energy is not compensated by an energy loss in other (potentially unknown) quantum fields?

@nibblrrr7124 4 года назад

The energy in those hypothetical fields would still count towards the total energy density in the Friedman equations that describe the expansion of space. So AFAIU then there would be no accelerating expansion we could observe, and thus no need to postulate dark energy in the first place. Plus, y'know, the complete lack of evidence or theoretical necessity for any such field. :^)

@justdave9610 3 года назад

If it's balanced by an energy loss that would be gravitational potential energy which is a negative number but I'm not smart enough to know if this even comes close to balancing out

@Johncornwell103 3 года назад

Dark Energy makes up 70% of all known energy/mass in the observable universe. That quantum field you postulate would probably already be discovered by now.

@consciousenergies 4 года назад

Love your videos! I do think its important to state a theory when it arrives in our conversations. Dark Energy is still a theoretical postulate to fill a space of physics we don't understand isn't it? The CMB is also our best theory and has yet to be proven as anything other than the furthest we can "see" in our 4D understanding of the universe. In all tests of the 1st law of thermodynamics, conservation of energy prevails true experimentally. Keep up the great videos and I appreciate all the time you put into explaining complex topics simply.

@SirWussiePants 4 года назад

Question: if the CMB is shifted to lower energy due to the expansion of the universe - isn't that energy just spread out over more space making the sum of the energy the same across the universe, but less only locally?

@ScienceAsylum 4 года назад

The total across the universe is _also_ less.

@JanPBtest 2 года назад

2:30 I think it goes only one way: the presence of (infinitesimal) symmetry implies a conserved quantity. But there are conserved quantities that do not come from such symmetries, e.g. Carter's constant in the Kerr metric of general relativity.

I felt pretty flattered the other day when my brother (who is in the last year of his physics degree) asked me for help in understanding the quintessence of dark energy, even though I am merely a 17 year old who reads Wikipedia articles and the linked papers at the bottom. Just felt like saying that this channel is where my interest in everything physics started, ha. Thank you Nick, you will always inspire younger scientists!

Isn't CMB just spread around the universe and red shifted, like light leaving from close to a black hole?

@ScienceAsylum 5 лет назад

Yes, it's more spread out, but that's not why it's losing energy. There's still the same number of photons, but now they're all at a lower frequency. That means the _total energy all together_ has gone down.

@tedarcher9120 5 лет назад

@@ScienceAsylum yeah, but photons leaving a gravity well also loose energy due to red shift. Does the conservation principle break there also?

@locutusdborg126 5 лет назад

@@tedarcher9120 Yes, you are correct I think.

@leobidussi5039 5 лет назад

For Black Holes the situation is a little bit more complicated. The question is always the same: does the system photon-black hole has time traslation invariance? If and only if the answer is yes, than the TOTAL energy is conserved. For the most archetipical black hole, the Schwarzshield one, it is true and the total energy of the photon is conserved. But a gravitational red-shift is indeed present, as the photon travels away from the BH, it appears to red-shift, and the energy measured by different observers is different. This is because, loosely speaking, the photon acquires gravitational potential energy relative to the BH as it goes far away. The concept of gravitational potential energy is usually ill-defined in General Relativity, but for some BHs it can be a useful concept and it is not cheating, we have that the total energy is conserved, it is just that it differs from the energy that different observers measure. For the cosmological red-shift the story is different, the object that defines distances in GR, the metric, changes with time, hence we have no time traslation invariance and the photon's energy dilutes away as it travels through an expanding universe, energy is truly lost.

@tedarcher9120 5 лет назад

@@leobidussi5039 photons don't have mass, so they can't have potential energy. Red shift is happening when photon is travelling from more compacted space near black hole into less compacted, and thus redshifts. Literally the same thing happens with cmb, but the whole universe

@antoniomaglione4101 3 года назад

The possibility of experiencing a lapse of the conservation of energy is the same of experiencing time dilation because of relativistic speeds. It is mostly of use for theoretical physicists, nonetheless extremely important for everyday science. Two notes. In the physics books I used to study, 40 years ago, the "Universe is lazy" thingie was described as "Principle of minimum energy". I won't loose the occasion to appreciate Emmy Noether intuition and extreme intelligence, in seeing the necessity for a form of simmetry at the base of energy conservation and transfer. Thanks for the video...

@James42_ 5 лет назад

Wait so everything gonna disappear over time (if every mass turned in to light and no black hole )?

@addajjalsonofallah6217 5 лет назад

Yup

@locutusdborg126 5 лет назад

And since we are in a simulated universe, we will eventually pixilate and disappear.

@leobidussi5039 5 лет назад

Only the energy of photons is lost as they travel through an expanding universe. Massive particles retain their energy and experience no cosmological red-shift. Whether or not matter itself will decay away on cosmological scales is a question for the Standard Model of particle physics, as far as General Relativity is concerned they are not affected at all.

@cleitonoliveira932 5 лет назад

Basically we are not allowed to travel beyond the local group of galaxies because of the expansion. The rate is so high that it's higher than the gravity pull, the groups will escape from each other and accelerate above the speed of light.

@martiddy 5 лет назад

Yeah, is called "Heat Death of the Universe". And it will happen at the end of the Dark Era of the universe (which will be around 10^1000 years from now)

@mohammadqasem4060 5 лет назад

@snolahc 5 лет назад

Special cases don't exist. Either energy is conserved and we don't understand what the expansion of space-time is, or we don't understand what energy is.

@sorry6726 5 лет назад

@mohammadqasem4060 5 лет назад

@haddow777 Год назад

I've had questions about this for a while. In another video, someone showed that Planck's constant is used in the measurement of energy in a photon. This makes sense that the smallest indivisible unit of measure for distance is used to measure the smallest indivisible unit of electromagnetic radiation, the photon. How though, does the universe expand the fabric of spacetime? The two possible methods I can see is, either it just gets larger, inflating through increasing the size of Planck's constant. You increase the constant, and everything gets larger, stretched out. The other way, is new space is added somehow. Some some portion of space has a specific number of Planck measurements and then it has one more than it used to. So, space expands at the fundamental level by increasing its dimensions, thus adding to its ruler. Basically, at one time you had thirty skittles in a row, then over time you have 31. Over time, new skittles get added, increasing the total. In this scenario, couldn't it be that as a photon is traveling through space, this expansion stretches the photon, adding space to it too? In this event, the photon stretches past the indivisible size of a single photon and divides into two photons. In this way, the energy, thus the frequency, is divided amongst the photons. Each contains carries a lower frequency, divided from the total original frequency. Thus, the energy is divided up amongst the photons and not lost. That makes more sense to me than so much energy just going out of existence.

@mask3dal3xx 5 лет назад

Can dark energy theoretically be harvested? Like by connecting two very distant part of the universe with elastic ropes? What would the power output of such a system be?

@nibblrrr7124 5 лет назад

AFAIU no, because putting energy which is already equally distributed (in equilibrium) to work would decrease entropy, and therefore violate the second law of thermodynamics. (Kinda like the hot high-pressure gas in a combustion chamber has lots of energy, but it will not expand & make the piston move one bit if it's just as hot & dense outside of the piston. PBS Space Time did an episode on zero-point energy.) The huge rubber rope is a nice thought experiment, and I haven't figured out yet why it wouldn't work. :^)

@martiddy 5 лет назад

I don't think dark energy works that way

@nibblrrr7124 5 лет назад

As for the power: Dark energy is spread around incredibly thinly, with a constant density of a couple *nanojoules per cubic meter.* That should be an upper bound, and it's not a lot. Not sure how that would translate to power per length of rope (disregarding that it can't work b/c thermodynamics), but only using 1 dimension of the 3 expanding ones probably doesn't help? ^^ * It only makes up ~70% of the universe's total, because the universe is mostly empty space with barely any matter (dark or regular), but just as much dark energy per volume

@mask3dal3xx 5 лет назад

nibblrrr I watched that video on PBS Space Time too and I understand what you mean but I think my design is fundamentally different from that piston. It might not work because of locality though.

I really love your videos, you always manage to explain subjects that previously confused me! Could you please make a video about decoherence, pointer states and quantum darwinism? I've never really understood the transition between a quantum mechanical system and a classical system. One about the holographic principle should be great too! It's a very interesting subject the general public understands little about.

@red-.-red 5 лет назад

Yeah, scale can be more important than we think when we talk about physics. I remember reading how the laws of thermodynamics break down if the studied system gets too small.

@ScienceAsylum 5 лет назад

Yep. A lot of thermodynamics is based on statistics in large systems of particles. If the systems aren't large, you can't necessarily make the same judgements.
