They might have engineering questions. 44 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: You know, well, I got questions for them. 45 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: So tune in this Friday, March twenty seventh, at ten 46 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: am Pacific at YouTube dot com slash PhD Comics and 47 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: bring your questions about the universe. Hey, Daniel, are you 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: a fan of virtual reality? 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm still trying to get my head around this reality? 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: What do I need another one for? 51 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 4: You? 52 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 5: Know? 53 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: You can? You can use it to walk on the 54 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 3: surface of the moon without ever leaving your couch. 55 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: That does actually sound pretty good. But isn't it expensive? 56 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: Here it's virtually free. 57 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: I think that means it's expensive. 58 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: Actually, I think it is. Can I borrow some cash 59 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: from you? 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure, I'll send you some virtual money. 61 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 3: I am Horam, a cartoonist and the creator of PhD Comics. 62 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 6: Hi. 63 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist, and I'm the co 64 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: author of our book, We Have No Idea, A Guide 65 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 1: to the Unknown Universe. 66 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: It's available in paperback, hardcover and also virtual reality. 67 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: You can put on goggles and experience being inside our minds. 68 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: Oh man, that sounds terrifying. 69 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: Is that a horror show? 70 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: But welcome to our podcast Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe, 71 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: a production of iHeartRadio. 72 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: In which we take mental tours all over the universe 73 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: and talk about the biggest things, the smallest things, the 74 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: fastest things, the craziest things in the universe, playing all 75 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: of them to you in a way we hope you 76 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: find educational and entertaining. 77 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. We talk about all the real things 78 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: out there in the universe and the cosmos and the 79 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: furthest reaches of the galaxies and galaxy clusters, but we 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: also like to talk about things that don't yet exist 81 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: or may not even exist. 82 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: That's right. We want to take you inside the minds 83 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: of scientists and tell you how they think about the universe, 84 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: what models are going on in their head, and can 85 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: we distill those in a way that makes sense to you, 86 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: because we want you to understand sort of the forefront 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: of human thinking about how the universe works. 88 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, because there are the things that are around us 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: that we can see and touch and feel and hold 90 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: in our hands. But there's sort of another universe out 91 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: there that we can see and that is maybe not 92 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 3: quite as real as you might imagine. 93 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we're always sort of building a universe in 94 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: our minds to map what's going on outside. Like we 95 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: can do experiments, we can make measurements, we can see things, 96 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: and then we try to understand them. And that understanding 97 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: requires building a model in our head of what we 98 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: think is happening. And some of those things we can experience. 99 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: Some of those things we wonder are they real or 100 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: are they just our imagination. 101 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so Daniel and I we wrote a book Daniel 102 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: called you know, We Have No Idea. I don't know 103 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: if you know we wrote a book, by. 104 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: The way, I had No Idea? Is that right? 105 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, yeah, it's called We Have No Idea, and 106 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 3: we talk about all the things we don't know about 107 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: the universe, all the unanswered questions out there. To those 108 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 3: of you listening, please check it out if you are interested. 109 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 3: But I was sort of surprised to get today's topic 110 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 3: in an email from me this morning, because I don't 111 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 3: think we covered this topic in that book. 112 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: No, this is a really tricky topic and it really 113 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: has to do with how physicists think about particles, what 114 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: they mean, are they real, how do they talk to 115 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: each other, what happens when one electron pushes against another 116 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: electron and how does that and what happens inside the 117 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: mind of a physicist when she thinks about that. 118 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 3: So this topic that we're going to talk about today, 119 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: was it just to maybe extreme for our book? What 120 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 3: did you think? Why didn't we talk about it in 121 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: our fun and interesting book now available for purchase. 122 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: Well, we totally could have. And you know, in the 123 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: book we have to make some pretty hard choices about 124 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: what topics to cover. We talked about what is space 125 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: and what is time? And what is matter? And how 126 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: will the universe end? And we could have gone on 127 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: forever and talked about all the things that we don't 128 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: understand about the universe. It's a pretty long list, but 129 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: we have to make some choices. 130 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: I see, the book wasn't called we have lots of 131 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: no ideas. 132 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: We have absolutely zero ideas about a lot of things. 133 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: But anyway, so today's tweet is pretty interesting because I 134 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: think everyone has heard of particles. I mean, we all 135 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 3: know that we are made out of molecules and atoms, 136 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: and atoms are made out of particles, and the form 137 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 3: the basis of for matter in all of the universe, 138 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 3: but I think maybe not a lot of people have 139 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: heard about this particular type of particle. 140 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a concept that people talk about when 141 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: they think about empty space and particles popping in and 142 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: out of the vacuum, And it's a topic that's really 143 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: important for thinking about forces and how things push and 144 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: pull against each other and how that like actually works 145 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: at the microscopic level. So it's a really important concept 146 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: in particle physics. But it's sort of slippery to get 147 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: your head around. But recently some listeners wrote in and 148 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: asked us to explain this. 149 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: So on the podcast, we'll be asking the question what 150 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: is a virtual particle? 151 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: Is it a particle wearing virtual reality goggles? Is it 152 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: one particle imagining another particle? 153 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: Is it a virtuous particle who has a Stanza for 154 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: its principles? 155 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: These particles all follow rules. Actually, that's a really good 156 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: point because there's a lot of sort of pop science 157 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: misinformation about virtual particles. People say, oh, virtual particles don't 158 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: follow the laws of physics. But they do. They follow 159 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: the laws of physics absolutely, just like all the other particles. 160 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: And as far as we know, everything in our real universe. 161 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: Interesting, I like, how you associate virtue with following the rules. 162 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: It's say, some deep psychological things going on there. 163 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: Daniel today on the podcast Therapy of Daniel. 164 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: How are you feeling step virtually good? 165 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: Particularly virtual? 166 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: Oh particular? Well, so it's an interesting topic. I have 167 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: to say, I've never heard of these virtual particles. I 168 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: guess because they're virtual. Is that part of what we're 169 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,119 Speaker 3: going to talk about today? 170 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit. 171 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: They're not real. Are they not real? 172 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: Well, they are real, they're just not really particles. They're 173 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: a thing that's out there in the universe. They're responsible 174 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: for important physical effects that we can see, but we 175 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: can never see them directly. So one way to think 176 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: about them is that there's sort of a calculational tool 177 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: in our minds, a way that we think about what's 178 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: happening out there in the universe, but not something that 179 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: we can ever observe directly, sort of like we think 180 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: about quantum mechanical wave functions. We never observe the wave 181 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: function itself. We only observe its consequences, its influence on things. 182 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: But it's important for us to predict those those experiments, 183 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: to predict those consequences that we can use that in 184 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: our calculations. 185 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: All right, well let's get let's get into it here today. 186 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: But first we were wondering, as usual, how many people 187 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 3: out there knew what a virtual particle was. 188 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: So I walked around campus that you see Irvine, and 189 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: I ask people this kind of crazy as a terror question. 190 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 3: So before you hear these answers, think about it for 191 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 3: a second. If someone asked you on this tread, what 192 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: is a virtual particle? What would you answer? Here's what 193 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 3: people had to say, not in the slightest. 194 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 5: An imaginary particle Houston light theories or something like that. 195 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 5: A virtual state is a state, kind of a transitory 196 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: state where if you're going to do like a two 197 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 5: photon excitation, it's that state in the middle that is 198 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 5: a virtual state where it's not really you can't describe 199 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 5: I can't describe it very well. 200 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 3: I'm not into physics. 201 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 5: That's That's the best I can do on that one. 202 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 3: It's a particle of matter. I don't know. 203 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: Something that's made up based on technology. 204 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 3: Maybe all right, Virtually no one said yes. 205 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: There was some creative answers, though. I really like the 206 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: person that said something that's made up based on technology. 207 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: That sounds pretty good. I wish I could use technology 208 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: to create new particles. That's sort of my job. 209 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: Isn't that what you do? Did you create new particles? 210 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: That's what I'm supposed to be doing, and I'm using 211 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: a lot of technology and spending a lot of government money. 212 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 3: But instead you're here recording a podcast. Don't tell anybody, 213 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 3: that's right. Nobody knows about this, Daniel. Don't worry. But 214 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: you know, only a few hundred thousand people. 215 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: In my twenty years of searching for new particles, I've 216 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: never really found one. So I'm using technology to try 217 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: to find new particles. I just haven't been successful yet. 218 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: You're like, forget particles. I'm just gonna have a party. 219 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: It's a virtually easier But you know, this wasn't too surprising. 220 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: It's a sort of esoteric topic. And I think a 221 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: lot of people know why virtual particles are important without 222 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: knowing the concept itself. So I think you'll find that 223 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: the things we talk about the role virtual particles play 224 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: will be familiar to a lot more people than actually 225 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: know what virtual particles are and can explain it. 226 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 3: Oh, I see, it's not a crazy concept. It's just 227 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: maybe kind of a naming convention or sort of like 228 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: how physicists see some of these particles. 229 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, precisely. 230 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: All right, well let's get into it, Daniel. What is 231 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 3: a virtual particle and why is it called virtual? And 232 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: is it not real? 233 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: Well? I think first let's get a clear picture for 234 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: like what is what do we mean by a particle 235 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: and a real particle, Because as you talked about earlier, 236 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: like we're made of stuff. I made a stuff, You're 237 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: made of stuff. We think when we are real, I imagine 238 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: I'm real, and we think that we're made of particles. 239 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: And those particles have an existence. They like stick around, 240 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: they have persistence, they can move through space, all this 241 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and we feel some stantial and so 242 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: you and I we are made of real particles. But 243 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: those particles, they're not like a little battle of stuff, 244 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: and they're not like a tiny dot. Right, it's not 245 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: like we're built out of little tinker toys. As we've 246 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: talked about in the podcast several times, each of these 247 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: particles should be seen as like a ripple in a 248 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: quantum field. It's like you have this field that feels 249 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: space and at some points it has energy and it's vibrating, 250 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: and that's what each of these particles are. 251 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 3: It's like a little perturbation in reality. Kind of. 252 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: Yes, it's a little perturbation in reality. And the key 253 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: thing to know is that real particles are special perturbations. 254 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: They're not like any perturbation in the quantum field. Is 255 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: a part is a real particle there? If that perturbation 256 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: follows certain rules and has certain behaviors, and has and 257 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: obeys certain equations, then it's a real particle. 258 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 3: You're saying, there are perturbations that are not particles or 259 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 3: that don't form particles. There are quantum. 260 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: Fields, yes, And that's you just gave away the ghosts 261 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: because some perturbations are real particles and some perturbations are 262 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,599 Speaker 1: virtual particles. So some small fraction of the perturbations and 263 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: quantum fields are what make up real particles. That are 264 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: you and me. 265 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 3: I guess my question is what makes a real particle real? 266 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: Yes? 267 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: What makes that perturbation real and special? 268 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: Well, it can do various things, like it can travel forever. Right, 269 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: you shoot a real particle through space, it will just 270 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: keep going until it bounces into something. It has this 271 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: sort of self sustaining nature to it. It doesn't just 272 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: like spread out into nothing or cancel itself out, and. 273 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 3: It's propagating right through the field. It's not like it's moving. 274 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: It's like it's I'm a perturbation here and then I'm 275 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: proturbing the space next to me, and that's what we 276 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 3: call moving. 277 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: That's right, and you need to keep two pictures in 278 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: your head at once. One is sort of the quantum 279 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: field theory view, like, think about the whole universe. It's 280 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: just space filled with quantum fields, and as you say, 281 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: a particle moving through them, is the wiggle in the 282 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: field is here? And then the wiggle in the field 283 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: is there? That wiggle is the thing that's propagating. Is 284 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: the energy moving. At the same time, you like to 285 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: associate that will with a particle. You have maybe this 286 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: image in your head of like a little ball that's 287 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: moving from here to there. And in fact, if you 288 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: shoot an electron out of an electron gun, that's sort 289 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: of what you imagine. The most mathematically accurate way to 290 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: think about it is in terms of a little ripple 291 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: in the field that's moving through the field. But you 292 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: like to associate that with a real electron because it 293 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: has properties like mass and it can fly forever. If 294 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't touch anything and that and that's a real 295 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: particle because it satisfies various rules, like it has a 296 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: specific mass and it's kinetic energy. Makes sense, you know, 297 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: you can interpret that ripple as a particle. 298 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: Did you have to do with like the shape of 299 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 3: it or yes? Around what makes it special? Is it 300 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 3: just like a set of conditions that made it as 301 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 3: special or there's something about the combination of things that 302 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: went into it that caused ripple to be especially in 303 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 3: a like the shape of it. 304 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: It has a lot to do with how it was made. 305 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: And you can imagine, for example, a guitar string. Take 306 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: a guitar string. If you pluck it carefully, it has 307 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: various modes that it likes to wiggle at right, and 308 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: those are the various notes of the guitar string. And 309 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: you can, you know, make this string shorter or longer 310 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: to change those modes. But just for like an open string, 311 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: you play it, it makes it it likes to play 312 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: it at a certain frequency. But you could also do 313 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: other things on that string that aren't like a nice oscillation. 314 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: You know, if your toddler comes in the room and 315 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: hits your guitar with a something crazy, it doesn't make 316 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: a nice sound. So you can imagine the difference between 317 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: like a careful, clean plucking of the string that sends 318 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: one well behaved wave propagating down the string and a 319 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: sort of chaotic tumble of ripples that don't that can't 320 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: be interpreted the same way. 321 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 3: And this is because you're saying quantum feels can be 322 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 3: disturbed in any number of ways. Yes, but like if 323 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 3: you disturb it just right, it'll create this kind of 324 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 3: like perfect self sustaining, you know, bumping it. 325 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Yes, and precisely. And the thing that it has that 326 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: has a definite mass. So an electron always has an 327 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: electron's mass and it moves through the universe always having 328 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: the same mass. And so a real particle something that 329 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: has a definite mass that has that stuff to it. 330 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: That's the thing that makes it real, that it has 331 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: a specific mass, and you can interpret things about it 332 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: that we're familiar with. Right. You like to think, well, 333 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: things have energy, like kinetic energy. A real particle has 334 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: a positive kinetic energy. That makes sense. Later when we 335 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: talk about virtual particles, you'll see that they don't obey 336 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: these same rules. They can't be interpreted in the same way. 337 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: There's still ribbles in the quantum field, but they're not nice, 338 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: clean ripples that follow these rules. 339 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: They're not that virtuous. 340 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't make any judgments. I'm a particle physicist. All 341 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: particles are welcome in my. 342 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: Mind, except the ones that break rules. Apparently, well, they 343 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 3: don't break particle, they don't break the rules. It's a category, right. 344 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: These are these that you know satis by some restrictions 345 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 3: we call those. Really they do certain things, it's just 346 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 3: a label in our minds. It's a distinction in our head. 347 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 3: Some of them have a mass that sticks around forever, 348 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 3: and and you know and follow. 349 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: These these I guess they are rules. Yes, I'm trying 350 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: to avoid saying that, but you're right. 351 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 3: I do like rules, afford it. We'd do nothing without rules. 352 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's get into then, what are virtual 353 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: particles and whether are not they're real or whether you 354 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: can only see them on a VR headset. But first, 355 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 3: let's take a quick break. 356 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: With big wireless providers, what you see is never what 357 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: you get. Somewhere between the store and your first month's bill, 358 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: the price you thought you were paying magically skyrockets. With 359 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: Mint Mobile, you'll never have to worry about Gotcha's ever again. 360 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: When mint Mobile says fifteen dollars a month for a 361 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: three month plan, they really mean it. I've used mint 362 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: Mobile and the call quality is always so crisp and 363 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: so clear. I can recommend it to you. So say 364 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: bye bye to your overpriced wireless plans, jaw dropping monthly 365 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: bills and unexpected overages. You can use your own phone 366 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: with any mint Mobile plan and bring your phone number 367 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: along with your existing contacts.

At 374 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: mintmobile dot com slash universe, forty five dollars upfront payment 375 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: required equivalent to fifteen dollars per month new customers on 376 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: first three month plan only. Speeds slower about forty gigabytes 377 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: on unlimited plan. Additional taxi s fees and restrictions apply. 378 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: See mint mobile for details. 379 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 7: AI might be the most important new computer technology ever. 380 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 7: It's storming every industry and literally billions of dollars are 381 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 7: being invested, so buckle up. The problem is that AI 382 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 7: needs a lot of speed and processing power. So how 383 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 7: do you compete without cost spiraling out of control. It's 384 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 7: time to updo to the next generation of the cloud. 385 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 7: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI. OCI is a single platform 386 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 7: for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs. OCI 387 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 7: has four to eight times the bandwidth of other clouds, 388 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 7: offers one consistent price instead of variable regional pricing, and 389 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 7: of course nobody does data better than Oracle. So now 390 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 7: you can train your AI models at twice the speed 391 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 7: and less than half the cost of other clouds. If 392 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 7: you want to do more and spend less, like Uber 393 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 7: eight by eight and Data Bricks Mosaic, take a free 394 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 7: test drive of OCI at Oracle dot com slash strategic. 395 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 7: That's Oracle dot com slash Strategic Oracle dot com slash Strategic. 396 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: If you love iPhone, you'll love Apple Card.

But it's 408 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 3: like a perfect pertovation. That's what a real particle is. 409 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: It's like something that somehow the field really likes and 410 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 3: doesn't just kind of like destroys or dissipates. 411 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, there are lots of different kinds of perturbations, and 412 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: some of them satisfy additional constraints, some of them satisfy 413 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: are a subset of them also satisfy some equations, some 414 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: wave equations that tell us about how they move, and 415 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: those real part of the. 416 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 3: Universe likes them. They're like, hey, I like this sound, 417 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,719 Speaker 3: I like this note. I'm just gonna let it keep 418 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 3: on going. 419 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: You're speaking for the universe, now, do that's a bit presumptuous? Maybe? 420 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: The universe likes the other kind of particles. It thinks 421 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: the real particles are like boring rule followers. 422 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 3: Oh I see, well, somehow it allows these, the real particles, 423 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 3: to be a special right, Yes, it's sort of like them. 424 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: Well, the real particles, the real particles can do something 425 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: that virtual particles can't. But virtual particles can do lots 426 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: of things real particles can't. 427 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 3: So wait, what can real particles do that virtuals can't. 428 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: Well, real particles can propagate across the universe. They have 429 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: a fixed mass, and that carries them sort of through space. 430 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 3: You're saying forever. Nothing, They don't degrade. 431 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: They don't degrade. Like you look up at the sky 432 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: and a photon hits your eye from a far away star. 433 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: That's a real photon. It's propagated through space and it 434 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: could have gone another billion light years if your eye 435 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: hadn't blocked it. So, yeah, these things can travel forever. 436 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 3: But there are real particles also that don't last, Like, 437 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 3: don't were you telling me that some of the higher 438 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: energy particles, like the you know, some of these heavy quarks, 439 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 3: they at some point they break apart. 440 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: Yes, higher mass particles are unstable, but they're still real. 441 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: They are real particles, but they can decay into lower 442 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: mass particles. So not every particle has an infinite lifetime 443 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: like an electron or a photon. But they are still real. 444 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: You can interact with them, you can see them, they 445 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: can propagate through space. 446 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: All right, Well, then let's get into what a virtual 447 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 3: particle is. So I guess it means it's not a 448 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 3: real particle. Yeah, it's not a not a clean ripple. 449 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: It's like everything else, you know, it's any other kind 450 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: of disturbance in the quantum field, right, And it's like 451 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: a transfer of energy from one place to another in 452 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: the field. I mean, that's what the disturbance is. But 453 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: it's not something you can coalesce together and say, oh, 454 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: this is a nice little packet of energy that moves 455 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: in a tight way through the field and will stay 456 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: that way. It like diffuses out, it spreads out, it 457 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: fades away pretty quickly. 458 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: Wait, so it's possible for feels to be disturbed, not 459 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 3: in particles. 460 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: It's possible for feel to be disturbed in a way 461 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: that makes a real particle. It's also possible for fields 462 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: to be disturbed in a way that doesn't make a 463 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: real particle. What do we call that? We call that 464 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: a virtual particle. 465 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 3: Do they break sort of the rule of quantum mechanics, 466 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 3: like the minimum amount of energy and things like that, Like, 467 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 3: is it possible to have a ripple that's smaller than 468 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 3: an electron? For example, you have. 469 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: Ripples in the electron field that don't have the mass 470 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: of an electron. Yes, but they're not breaking any of 471 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: the rules, This says a common misunderstanding. They follow the 472 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: rules of physics, but you know those rules have fuzziness 473 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: in them. So, for example, if you do something in 474 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: a very short amount of time, then the energy these 475 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: particles is very uncertain because there's an uncertainty relationship between 476 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: time and energy, like there is between momentum and space, 477 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: and so there are a lot of things they can 478 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: do that seem like they're breaking the rules, but isn't actually. 479 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 3: Well, wait, so you can't have a ripple in that's 480 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 3: smaller than an electron. 481 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: Then you can have a ripple in the electron field 482 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: that doesn't correspond to one real electron, smaller it's a 483 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: smaller ripple than one real electron. You might be thinking, 484 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,479 Speaker 1: hold on the field is supposed to be quantized, and 485 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, but that applies to real particles and 486 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: in the case of virtual part. 487 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 3: And you just broke over in my head, Daniell. All 488 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: this time I thought it was like a fundamental rule 489 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 3: of the universe that quantum fields can't ripple with anything 490 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 3: smaller than the quantum particles. But you're saying they can't. 491 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 3: They're just not real. 492 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: Those are different. 493 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 3: It's just not sustainable. 494 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: They're not sustainable ripples. Yeah, and you know the thing 495 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about are self sustaining. Real particles create one, 496 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: you can create two, you can create three. You can't 497 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: contain two and a half. Right there, there's no self 498 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: sustaining mode. They can do that. But if you're gonna 499 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: have chaotic fluctuations of the field, then you can have 500 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: all sorts of crazy stuff. And so yeah, that releases 501 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: you from a lot of those requirements. 502 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 3: Okay, And these rippled you're saying they don't propagate, or 503 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 3: they do propagate. 504 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: They propagate, but they don't propagate as far they don't 505 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: hold themselves together, and so they don't stain themselves. They 506 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: sort of just like spread out in diffuse and eventually 507 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: they sort of cancel themselves out. 508 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 3: What do you mean what happens to them, They they 509 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 3: like separate, they become you know, inchurrent or. 510 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: Well, they're very short lived, they're transient. And so for example, 511 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: a virtual particle might be like a little blob of 512 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: energy that one electron sends to another electron to push 513 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: it away, Like two electrons they push each other apart. Right, 514 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: how does that happen, Well, it happens through ripples in 515 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: the electromagnetic field. And you can that's not really a photon. 516 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: Like it's not a flash of light that goes between 517 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: the electrons to push them apart. But there is a 518 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: transfer of energy, a transfer of momentum, and that you 519 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: can associate with a particle. You say, oh, that's like 520 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: a virtual photon. 521 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: Wait, you're saying that when an electron pushes another electron 522 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 3: because they're both negative charge. I thought they always use photons. 523 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 3: You're saying that doesn't happen through photons. 524 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: They do, But it's a virtual photon. It's not a 525 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: real photon. It's not a photon that you could like 526 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: see with your eye. It's a virtual, short lived photon, 527 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: not a photon that could propagate across the universe and 528 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: hit another star. 529 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 3: That's a special photon, but there's non special photons. 530 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: Yes, real photons are special photons in jorgez universe, though 531 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: I love all particles equally, But there are two kinds 532 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: of particles. There's a real particles that can propagate through 533 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: the universe forever without interacting, and then there are these transient, 534 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: short lived virtual particles that don't that. You know, we 535 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: could argue about whether they really are particles, but we 536 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: call them virtual particles. 537 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 3: I feel like it'd be like telling you your two kids. 538 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: I think one of you is real, one of you 539 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 3: is not, but I think you're both special to me. 540 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 3: Well you both. 541 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: If one of your kids only lasts for ten to 542 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: the mind as twenty three seconds, you're not even gonna 543 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: be able to finish that sentence. 544 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: Oh man, Well, okay, So when an electron pushes another electron, 545 00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 3: they're not interchanging photons, they're interchanging virtuals in the field 546 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 3: that are like photons, but not photons. 547 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: They're not real photons, they are virtual photons. And when 548 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: we draw little fiemin diagrams to describe this between physicists, 549 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: we draw wiggly line just like a photon, but that photon, 550 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, it is created inside the interaction, it's emitted 551 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: and then absorbed. It's never seen externally, like you never 552 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: see that. Nobody says, oh, look a little saw a 553 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: flash of light that only exists between the two electrons. 554 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: And so these virtual particles are not ever directly observed. 555 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: They're just sort of used in our calculation and inferred. 556 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 3: Oh I see, but could someone intercept them? You know, 557 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 3: like let's say when an electron is pushing another electron 558 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 3: and some of the another electron sweeps in in between, 559 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 3: would they be able to catch that photon and say, yes, 560 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 3: there was a photon here. 561 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's going to blow your mind because then 562 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: the photon becomes real. 563 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 3: Then it becomes real. 564 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: Then it becomes real, and you might ask, well, how 565 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: does it know? Right? Well, remember in quantum mechanics, there's 566 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: no like propagation. It's not like this is a thing 567 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: which goes somewhere. It goes from here to there. If 568 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: you have an initial state and a final state, your 569 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: initial state is like an electron is flying off, and 570 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: the final state is some photon from that electron is 571 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: now observed by our camera. All the possible things that 572 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: could explain that sort of can happen. All at once, right, 573 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: and only some of them survive. And so if there's 574 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: a camera there to observe it, then the virtual options disappear, 575 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: they can't exist anymore. But if there's not a camera 576 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: there to observe it, then they can interact in sort 577 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: of its unobserved state with other electrons and push them 578 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: along and stay a virtual particle. 579 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 3: I totally understood that virtually my VR headset here, all right. 580 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: It sort of sounds like it's one of these quantum 581 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 3: mechanical things where there's sort of virtual until you open 582 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 3: the box. 583 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: Kind Of, yes, they're virtual until you open the box. 584 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: And if you open the box and interact with them, 585 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: then only real particles can satisfy that set of constraints, 586 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: and so then the virtual particles sort of never happened. 587 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: And if you're worried about, like you know, causality there, 588 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: you know, the whole interaction is not like a flowing 589 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: in time in that same way. The whole interaction just 590 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: sort of understood is one thing, you know, Like there's 591 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: this emission and absorption, and we're understanding this whole sort 592 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: of process in terms of one calculation, and we think 593 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: about all the ways that it can happen simultaneously. Only 594 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: some of those survive based on what the constraints are 595 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: when you open the box. When you open the box, Yeah. 596 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 3: All right, Well tell me you were saying the virtual 597 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: particles break rules. So what are some of the rules 598 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 3: that virtual particles can break? 599 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: Right? So they don't violate like deep laws of physics, 600 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: but they can do things that real particles can't do. 601 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: For example, if you try to interpret these wiggles in 602 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: the quantum fields as a particle, you get weird answers. 603 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: Like you do the calculations to get what's the kinetic 604 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: energy of this thing? 605 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 3: Well, it can be negative negative kinetic energy. 606 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: Negative kinetic energy, and that's weird if you're used to 607 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: thinking about kinetic energy is like energy of motion, because 608 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: like energy of motion, no matter which direction you're going, 609 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: is always positive. Right, there's a V squared in there, 610 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: so any velocity gives you positive energy. But in physics 611 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: we calculate this energy, you know, as a relationship between 612 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: mass and momentum, and it gets wonky because it's not 613 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: like an individual, localized little particle that's moving through space 614 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: and the way you're familiar with. It's like this weird disturbance, 615 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: and you're trying to force this sort of particle view 616 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: onto it, and it doesn't quite work. 617 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 3: It's like a little void of energy almost. 618 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: It's sort of like you're asking an inappropriate question and 619 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: so you get a nonsense answer. 620 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 3: Oh, I see, it's like a it's like a a wiggle, 621 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 3: you know, and that wiggle can give you weird, weird 622 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 3: answers when you try to measure it. 623 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're not measuring the energy. You're like, well, 624 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: here's the wiggle. If I sort of try to squeeze 625 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: this into the particle framework and then ask what would 626 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: be the energy if this was a particle, you get 627 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: sort of a nonsense answer, you know, like if you 628 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: asked how popular would Daniel be if he was a 629 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: famous movie star? But you're like, well, that's nonsense. Is 630 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: no way he'd be a famous movie star, so he'd 631 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: be like negative popular or something. And the other thing 632 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: is that these virtual particles aren't restricted to have the 633 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: same mass as the particles you're familiar with, Like, you know, 634 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: the photon is no mass. Photons that hate your eye 635 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: from stars very very far away, they have no mass 636 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: because those are real photons. But virtual photons can have mass. 637 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 3: A special disturbance in the electromagnetic field can have mass. 638 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it can carry some mass with it. 639 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: And where does it carry it that the other photons 640 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 3: don't have room for? 641 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: In its back pocket? Of course? I mean where do 642 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: you carry your mass? Yeah, that's where all mind seeds ago. 643 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: It's sort of just another way to interpret this in 644 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,479 Speaker 1: the light of a particle. It sort of breaks one 645 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: of those rules. And that's actually the thing that distinguishes 646 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: a virtual particle from a real particle. A real particle 647 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: is a little packet of energy that has definite mass 648 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: and propagates forever, and the virtual particle doesn't have that 649 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: definite mass. It can have high mass, it can have 650 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: low mass. For a photon, it can have non zero mass. 651 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: You can does that mean that the photon is going 652 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 3: slower than the speed of light? So virtual particles can 653 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 3: go slower than the speed of light. 654 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: Well, all the information transfer in the electromagnetic field always 655 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: happens at the speed of light. But when you talk 656 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: about the speed of a particle, you usually want to 657 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: define it in terms of like how fast is this 658 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: packet moving? And in terms of the virtual particle, it's 659 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: like more diffuse. It's like spreading out everywhere, and so 660 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure it makes sense to define the 661 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: speed of a virtual particle. 662 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it's getting into this weird quantum realm. 663 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's exactly the problem is that we want 664 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: to interpret things happening on the microscopic scale in terms 665 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: of things we're familiar with, in terms of things we know, 666 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: and so we ask these questions like what is its mass? 667 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: What is its kinetic energy? But those don't those are 668 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: not always appropriate questions. If you ask where is the 669 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: electron and where's it going? You know that doesn't really 670 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: always have a satisfactory answer, and so virtual particles are 671 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: less satisfactory than real particles. They have like fewer answers 672 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: to cough up. 673 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 3: All right, let's get into the question of whether or 674 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 3: not they're actually real. Can something be virtual and real 675 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 3: at the same time? But first, let's take a quick break. 676 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: When you pop a piece of cheese into your mouth, 677 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: or enjoy a rich spoonful of Greek yogurt, you're probably 678 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: not thinking about the environmental impact of each and every bite. 679 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: But the people in the dairy industry are us. Dairy 680 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: has set themselves some ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse 681 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: gas neutral by twenty to fifty. That's why they're working 682 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: hard every day to find new ways to reduce waste, 683 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: conserve natural resources, and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, 684 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: for example, most dairy farms reuse water up to four 685 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: times the same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washing 686 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: the barn, and irrigates the crops. How is US dairy 687 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: tackling greenhouse gases? Many farms use anaerobic digestors that turn 688 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: the methane from maneuver into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, 689 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: and electric cars. So the next time you grab a 690 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: slice of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, know 691 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: that dairy farmers and processors around the country are using 692 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: the latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrient dense 693 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,919 Speaker 1: dairy products we love with less of an impact.

Slash iHeart. 716 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 3: All right, Daniel, So we've defined virtual particles as being 717 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 3: the non particle wiggles in the quantum fields of the universe. 718 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 3: But are they actually real? Can we say that they're real? 719 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 3: If it sounds like you're saying they're not real, that's 720 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 3: why you call them virtual? 721 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well they're not real in the sense that we 722 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: define them, right. Particle physicists have a very specific definition 723 00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: of what real is. You know, when you say real, 724 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: you mean like it actually exists. It's out there in 725 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: that sense. Absolutely, virtual particles are real. But you know, 726 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: we took this word real and we redefined it to 727 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: mean it has a specific mass, it can propagate infinitely 728 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,240 Speaker 1: through its quantum field. 729 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 3: Oh, I see, they exist, but they're just not real particles. 730 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 3: It's like a you have to keep the two words together. 731 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not real the capital are, I guess, or 732 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: if they're not physics real you know, or like real 733 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: or whatever you would call it. But they have real 734 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: but they have actual effects on the universe. You know, 735 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,720 Speaker 1: we talk about empty space, but we know that space 736 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 1: has energy in it, and that energy can be converted 737 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: into short lived virtual particles. You have energy. 738 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 3: It's kind of like saying like it'd be different if 739 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 3: I say Daniel is not real. Then if I say 740 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 3: Daniel is not a real movie star, that's perfect technology. 741 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 3: Daniel exists, but he's not a real movie star, just 742 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 3: like these wiggles exist, but they're not real articles. 743 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: That works perfectly, except I'm not even a virtual movie star, 744 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: so you can it breaks down. 745 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 3: That's the whole point of virtual reality. 746 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna pop into your movie and then pop 747 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: right back out again. 748 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 3: All right. So they're they're real, but they're not particles, 749 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 3: and so why even call them particles? Why even have them? 750 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 3: Why not just call them, you know, squigglies or ripples. 751 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: Because we like to categorize things, and we like to 752 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: find connections between things, and so we like to sort 753 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: of say, these real particles and the virtual particles are 754 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: sort of two sides in the same coin, and they are. 755 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: You know, real particles are very closely related to virtual particles. 756 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: It's not like a hard wall you can put between 757 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: them and say they're totally different. Real particles are like 758 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: a special case of virtual particles. And so we call 759 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: them particles because hey, we're particle physicists. Everything's a particle, 760 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,440 Speaker 1: and we just sort of try to categorize them together. 761 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 3: When you have a hammer, when you have a sixty 762 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 3: billion dollar hammer, everything looks like a particle. 763 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: Everything looks like a particle. And you know, we even 764 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: describe forces in terms of particles. We like to think 765 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: about electromagnetism and the strong force and the weak force 766 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: operating in terms of particles, and that can be confusing 767 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: sometimes if you try to think about it like microscopically, 768 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: how can particles be responsible for forces? 769 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 3: All forces are done through virtual particles. 770 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: All the forces that we can describe quantum mechanically, like gravitation, 771 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: we still don't know, But all those quantum mechanical forces, yeah, 772 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: they're described using virtual particles. And the way you might 773 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: have heard it described is like one electron comes along 774 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: and pushes on the other electron by throwing a photon 775 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:42,959 Speaker 1: at it. 776 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 3: But it's actually throwing a virtual photon. 777 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: It's a virtual wiggle in the field, and it's not 778 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: thrown from one to the other. Right, It's not something 779 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: that's moving and flying in a well defined way through space. 780 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: It's a little disturbance in. 781 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 3: The field that's that's pushing on the other electron. 782 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a key thing to understand, because fields can 783 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: do more than just push. Right, if you and I 784 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: are throwing a ball back and forth, all we can 785 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: do is push each other. I can't throw the ball 786 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: at you and then attract you somehow. That doesn't make 787 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: any sense. I'm transferring momentum to you and pushing you away, 788 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 1: so I can't throw a ball at you with negative momentum. 789 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: So that's why that analogy breaks down, because real forces, 790 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: like electromagnetism, they're also responsible for electrons attracting to protons, Yeah, pulling, 791 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: it's the same deal. So to understand how that works 792 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: in terms of virtual particles, you have to let go 793 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,919 Speaker 1: of particles as these little balls that were throwing back 794 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 1: and forth and just think about them in terms of 795 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: like weird ripples. And the key thing to think about 796 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: there is like you are exchanging a virtual photon if 797 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: it has a certain amount of energy to it. Heisenberg 798 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: tells us, if you're well defined in terms of momentum, 799 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: you're not well defined in terms of location. So that particle, 800 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: that virtual photon that's being passed back and forth, doesn't 801 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: really exist anywhere. It sort of exists every where. It's 802 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: like if its momentum is very specific, then its location 803 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,280 Speaker 1: is flat. It's like can exist through the whole universe. 804 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 3: So like if I have a magnet, Let's say I'm 805 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 3: holding two magnets here in the table in front of me, 806 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 3: and you know, I try to bring them together, and 807 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 3: they're pushing each other apart these magnets. Before I was 808 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 3: thinking like, maybe they're swapping photons so that they can 809 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 3: repel each other, but really they're not. They're just sort 810 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 3: of like just sort of like perturbing each other's fields. 811 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: Yes, they're perturbing each other's fields and transmitting energy back 812 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: and forth, but not in the sense of like little 813 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: particles that are actually flying back and forth like real particles. 814 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: Like you can't put a piece of cardboard between two 815 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,359 Speaker 1: magnets to block the magnetism, right, And you can be like, well, look, 816 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: photons can't get through my cardboard, so how can magnetism 817 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: get through? Right? The reason is that electromagnetic fields definitely 818 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: can get through your cardboard, right, You can hear a 819 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: radio through cardboard. 820 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 3: More like you're bending the fields around you, and that's 821 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 3: what's pushing the other one. 822 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's just not in a way that you 823 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: can characterize as a little ball, as like a little 824 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,719 Speaker 1: self propagating, nice package of field. And so that's how 825 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: these things interact. They interact with the fields, and you can, 826 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: if you want, interpret those in terms of virtual particles. 827 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,280 Speaker 1: It's sort of like looser definition of what a particle 828 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: is than just the narrow definition of what real particles are. 829 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 3: You sort of expanded the definition to include more more 830 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 3: of these weird things. 831 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, by relaxing some of the rules, say, you don't 832 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: have to have the right mass, you don't have to 833 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,760 Speaker 1: have a kinetic energy. That makes sense, it's a ripple 834 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 1: in the field. 835 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 3: Let you don't have to be a particle to be 836 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 3: a particle, that's what you're saying. 837 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: And you could also just get rid of the particle 838 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: picture entirely, be like, you know what, that doesn't make 839 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: any sense to me. I'm just going to think about 840 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,919 Speaker 1: the fields and you can do that. It's just it's 841 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: really hard because calculations in field theory are very, very complicated. 842 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: And so to simplify it, Fineman introduced this idea. He said, well, 843 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: let's just think about it in terms of like the 844 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: simplest interaction, and he drew these diagrams that showed like, well, 845 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: if it was exchanging one thing you would call a particle, 846 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: then it would look like this. And then let's think 847 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: about it in terms of the second simplest and the 848 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: third simplest, and then they just ignore everything else. So 849 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: He developed this framework for approximating quantum field theory calculations 850 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: by using these like number of virtual particles. The most 851 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: likely thing to happen is one virtual particle, the second 852 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: most likeliest two, and then three, and as you go on, 853 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: there's more and more possibilities, but they get less and 854 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: less likely, so you can ignore them. 855 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 3: It just lets you sort of understand these complex field interactions. 856 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, lets you quickly approximate it and get mostly the 857 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,240 Speaker 1: right answer in a way that sort of makes sense. 858 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: And you know, physics is all about like making sense. 859 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: We know these are the rules of the universe, what 860 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: do they mean to us? Like, this interpretation step is important. 861 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: It's the physics part of it, right, The rest of 862 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: it's sort of mathematics, And it's like, how do we 863 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: use this to build up a picture of the world 864 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: that makes sense to us? And you're always teasing me 865 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: that I like rules, but like that's what physics is. 866 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: You know, we're trying to figure out whether rules are 867 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 1: and how they limit us, and whether they actually do 868 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: limit us. 869 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,320 Speaker 3: All right, cool, Well, I feel my mind virtually blown 870 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 3: a little bit to learn that there are particles that 871 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 3: are not particles. They're very much real, and they very 872 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,280 Speaker 3: much kind of make everything work, right, because without virtual 873 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 3: particles you can't have forces, and without forces, nothing happens. 874 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: The universe would be pretty boring without any forces, So 875 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: stay tuned for Daniel's future virtual career in the movie 876 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: about virtual particles. 877 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,720 Speaker 3: It's sort of interesting to think that, you know, there's 878 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 3: more to the universe and what we can see and 879 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,839 Speaker 3: feel in touch, that there's all this sort of you know, 880 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 3: underlying chaos happening in between what we imagine to be 881 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 3: matter and electrons and quarks. 882 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that always our descriptions of it are lacking, right, 883 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: that we are limited by the way our minds work 884 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,359 Speaker 1: and the way that we think about the universe. We're 885 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: trying to map that onto this crazy, insane chaos that's 886 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: going on on a microscopic level, and it's never completely satisfactory. 887 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: It's always running into contradictions and seeming nonsense. And that's 888 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 1: because the universe at that scale is weird and alien 889 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: and very difficult to translate into sense for the human brain. 890 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: But hey, I think it's worth trying. 891 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 3: So we hope that made a little bit more sense 892 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 3: to all of you. And then now you know, what 893 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 3: a virtual particle is or what it's not or what 894 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 3: it is not is. 895 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: Virtually understand it. 896 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,719 Speaker 3: So thanks for listening.
