It's the reason why things look the way 33 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: they do. It's the reason why our planet is round. 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: It's the reason why we're on the planet. It's pretty important. 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 4: And yet we don't know a lot about it, right Like, 36 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 4: there's some really deep and strange mysteries about it. 37 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: On one hand, we have a theory which works really 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: really well. On the other hand, we have questions about 39 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: it which seem really really basic. 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 4: And not only that, it's very different than all the 41 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 4: other forces of nature. 42 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: That's right, one of these things is not like the 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: other ones. 44 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 4: Hi'm Moray. 45 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm a cartoonist, and I'm Daniel. I'm a particle physicist. 46 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 4: And this is our podcast Daniel and Joge explain the universe. 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: In which a cartoonist and a physicists try to figure 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: out how to make the universe understandable to anybody. 49 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and today on the podcast we are examining a 50 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: very heavy topic, gravity and specifically why is gravity so. 51 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: Weak and strange. 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: Gravity, as we said earlier, is something which controls the 53 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: structure of the universe. I mean, the reason the Solar 54 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: system looks the way it does is because of gravity. 55 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: The reason the Earth is round is because of gravity. 56 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: The reason we have galaxies is because of gravity. 57 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: The reason we weigh so much, it is because of gravity. Right. 58 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: It's not my belt. 59 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: No, that's because of late night cake eating. 60 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 4: But it's such a fundamental force of nature, right, Like 61 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 4: it's present in our everyday life. We spend a lot 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 4: of time thinking about gravity, right, how not to fall down, 63 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 4: how not to drop things, how to go up buildings, 64 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 4: how to go down buildings? 65 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: Right, that's right. 66 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: It seems like one of the most important forces. I mean, 67 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: if you ask people you know, to name a force 68 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: or what kind of forces the experience in their life. 69 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: Gravity is the one that's present in their lives. Right, 70 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: you're climbing upstairs, you're fighting gravity. You trip, you fall down, 71 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: you're feeling gravity. You look around you. The shape of 72 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: things is controlled by gravity. And that's why it's particularly 73 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: strange that gravity is the weakest force of all the 74 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: forces we've discovered. It's by far the weakest. 75 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really strange to hear you say that, Like, 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: how can gravity be weak? Like you know, like it's 77 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 4: it's keeping the whole Earth together, it's making the entire 78 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: planet swing around, going a circle basically. Right, Without gravity, 79 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: we would just shoot off into space. 80 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: That's right. 81 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: It's a really strange situation. And there's other things about 82 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: gravity we don't understand as well. It's really strange. It 83 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: doesn't play well with the other forces. It's very, very weak. 84 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: It's a total mystery to science, except that we have 85 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: a theory which works beautifully. Right, we can calculate exactly 86 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: how mercury orbits the sun. We can send things into 87 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: outer space and know with to millimeter precision exactly where 88 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: they're going to land. We have a working theory that 89 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: we can use, right, but we don't understand it on 90 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: a conceptual level. We have these basic, deep questions about 91 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: about what havity is and how the universe works because 92 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: of it. 93 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 4: So it's a weird question, and maybe one of the 94 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 4: people hadn't thought about it before. So Daniel went out 95 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 4: as usual and asked people on the street, why do 96 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 4: you think gravity is so weak? 97 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: Here's what a random selection of folks who were willing 98 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: to talk to me on a Tuesday morning had to 99 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: say about gravity. 100 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 3: I don't know. I should don't know about that, all right. 101 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 4: I thought it was a pretty strong force. 102 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: I don't know, but. 103 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, because it depends on the distance and it's long 104 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 4: range one, so that's why we feel it very weak 105 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 4: most of the time. 106 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 5: Cool, No, okay, I have no I'm sorry, it's not 107 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 5: very fruitful. 108 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 4: Hmmm. I have no idea, but I'd be interested in 109 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 4: finding out why. All right, that was that was pretty good. 110 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 4: Most people weren't surprised when you said gravity's weak. 111 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. 112 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: I feel like of all the questions I asked people, 113 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: this is the one that flummixed them the most. You know, 114 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: people were like, what I have no idea, or they 115 00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: had crazy ideas. 116 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: Why must be weak? 117 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: I feel like usually we get one person who knows 118 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: what the answer is or has a good clue about 119 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: what's going on. This time, I feel like almost everybody 120 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: was pretty clueless. I mean, one person said I always 121 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: thought gravity was pretty strong, right, which kind of sums 122 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: up the situation. 123 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: Right. 124 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: Gravity is omnipresent in our lives. It dominates our experience, 125 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: and yet it's so weak compared to the other really 126 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: powerful forces we've discovered. 127 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 4: Well, some people a couple of answers were that it 128 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 4: had to do with distance, Like gravity gets really weak 129 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: with distance. 130 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: That's right, And the problem there is that all the 131 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: forces get weak with distance, like electromagnetism also falls as 132 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: a distance grows. Right, So all of these forces follow 133 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: this one over our squared rule or are as your 134 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: distance from the things that's giving. 135 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 4: You the force, right, maybe maybe right? 136 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, mostly we think And so that can't be 137 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: the answer, right, because all the other forces have that 138 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: same feature. 139 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 4: So when you say it's the weak, is it's not 140 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 4: that it changes over top distances differently than the other forces. 141 00:06:59,400 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: That's right to me. 142 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: Maybe we should talk about what the forces are and 143 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: compare them to each other so folks can get an 144 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: understanding of how crazy weak gravity is. 145 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 4: Right. So, Daniel, what are the forces of nature besides 146 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 4: a bad movie with Ben Affleck and Center Bullet. 147 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: Well, I think comedy. Comedy is definitely a force of nature. 148 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: You know, it solves big problems around the world. Now, 149 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: the fundamental forces are electromagnetism, right, that's the one that 150 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: controls electricity and magnetism obviously, and is responsible for the 151 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: cool things like light and lightning and all that cool stuff. 152 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: And then there's the weak nuclear force, which is a 153 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: force which is responsible for radioactive decay of a nuclei. 154 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: Right. 155 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: And the cool thing about electricity and magnetism and the 156 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: weak nuclear force is that we actually have shown that 157 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: there are two sides of the same coin. As a 158 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: particle physicist, we refer to them as one force. We 159 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: call it the electro week. So sort of magnetism lost 160 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: out there in the name merger, right, it should be 161 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: electromagnet weak. But nobody voted to keep magnetism in the 162 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: sort of the name of the partners in a law firm. 163 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 4: Nobody lobbied for weak electro. 164 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: Or magneto weak force. Yeah. 165 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, again we are suffering the fate of some anonymous 166 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: committee of scientists that get to name these things. 167 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: Right, who are these people? 168 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 4: Probably some grad student, right or some you know, like 169 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: this is really weird, we'll call it this. 170 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 171 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: So we have electricity and magnetism, which is a single force. 172 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: We have the weak nuclear force, which is really should 173 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: be combined with electricity and magnetism. And then there's the 174 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: strong nuclear force, and this is the one that holds 175 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: the nucleus together. You know, the nucleus is of just 176 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, right, 177 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: So it's only positively charged particles in the nucleus. So 178 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: you might think, what it even holds the nucleus together, right, 179 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: you have all this positively charged stuff should be repelling themselves. Well, 180 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 1: it's the strong nuclear force, and it does so by 181 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: exchanging these crazy little particles we call gluons, and that 182 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: holds the nucleus together, and it's pretty strong. It's even 183 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: stronger than electromagnetism. 184 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: Well, let's take a step back. So in the universe 185 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: there's stuff. 186 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: There's like, yes, firm that there is stuff in the universe. Yes, 187 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: without reservation, there is stuff. 188 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: I'm glad we saw that question. But I mean it's 189 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 4: like there's stuff that has substance to it, that has 190 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 4: mass to it, or you know that it sort of exists. 191 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 4: And then there's also besides that, how these things interact 192 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 4: with each other, like how they affect each other. 193 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: That's right. 194 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: There's the matter and then there's the forces. Right, the 195 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: forces affect how they interact with each other. 196 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 4: And that's pretty much the universe. That's that's like, it's 197 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: matter and forces. 198 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, one way to look at the universe is that 199 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: it's particles, right, or you would say matter and their forces. 200 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: In modern particle physics, we think about one level deeper, 201 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: which is we think of quantum fields, and quantum fields 202 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: are responsible both for matter and for forces. So we 203 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: can talk about that maybe in another podcast. What is 204 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: a quantum field? And how can I get one? You know, 205 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: for lease or rent? What can they do for me? 206 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think it's it's fair still to think 207 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: about the universe in terms of particles and forces. 208 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 4: On that note, let's take a quick break. 209 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: With big wireless providers. What you see is never what 210 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: you get Somewhere between the store and your first month's bill. 211 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: The price your thoughts you were paying magically skyrockets. With 212 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: mint Mobile, You'll never have to worry about gotcha's ever again. 213 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: When Mint Mobile says fifteen dollars a month for a 214 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: three month plan, they really mean it. I've used mint 215 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: Mobile and the call quality is always so crisp and 216 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: so clear. I can recommend it to you.

The problem is that AI 235 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 6: needs a lot of speed and processing power. So how 236 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 6: do you compete without cost spiraling out of control. It's 237 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 6: time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud. 238 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 6: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI. OCI is a single platform 239 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 6: for your infrastructure, database, application development, and AI needs. OCI 240 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 6: has forty eight times the bandwidth of other clouds, offers 241 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 6: one consistent price instead of variable regional pricing, and of 242 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 6: course nobody does data better than Oracle. So now you 243 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 6: can train your AI models at twice the speed and 244 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 6: less than half the cost of other clouds.

So electromagnetism, weak 260 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: nuclear force, strong nuclear force, and then of course gravity. Right, 261 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: that's the fourth force that we've discovered. 262 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 4: Okay. 263 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: The fascinating thing is that different particles feel different forces, right, Like, 264 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: some particles feel this set of forces. Some particles feel 265 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: those set of force for example, right, particles with electric 266 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: charge feel electromagnetism. 267 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: Right. 268 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: The electron, for example, is negatively charged, the proton is 269 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: positively charged. You bring them close together, they're gonna pull 270 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: on each other. They're gonna stuck each other together, right, 271 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: because they have opposite charges. 272 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: We all know that. 273 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: But you bring a neutral particle nearby, it just totally 274 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: ignores it, right, It doesn't feel it at all. Right, Right, 275 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: It's like it's like somebody's walking through a crowd of 276 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: people shouting, but they have headphones on, so they can't 277 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: hear anything. 278 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: They're totally oblivious to it. 279 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: It's kind of like how we talked about in a 280 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 4: previous podcast. They're almost like languages or like social media platforms. 281 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 4: Like some people are on Twitter, some people are on Facebook, 282 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 4: but some people are not on this. And so if 283 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 4: somebody if you're not on Twitter and somebody sends your tweet, 284 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 4: you're not gonna get it. And so it's just different 285 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 4: ways that particles interact. 286 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 3: That's right. 287 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: Gravity is the Google plus social media, right, because nobody 288 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: uses the tred it's ancient but powerless. Yeah, And so 289 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: different particles feel different forces. And for example, an electron, 290 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: while it feels electromagnetism because it has a negative charge, 291 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel the strong force at all. It will 292 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: pass right by a bunch of particles that are really 293 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: tugging on each other with a strong force and not 294 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: be affected at all. Whereas quarks, quarks feel all the forces. 295 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: They feel a strong force, which is how they get 296 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: pulled together in the nucleus. Remember protons and neutrons are 297 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: made of quarks. Quarks feel electromagnetism because they have electric charge. 298 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: They feel the weak force. They also feel gravity, of course, 299 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: because they have masks. So quarks get their fingers in everything. 300 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: They get the feels for everything. 301 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: They feel everything that's right, They got the strong feels. 302 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: Quarks they're really deeply emotional part of that. And on 303 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: the other side of the spectrum you got things like neutrinos. 304 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: The trinos don't have electric charge, so they ignore all 305 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: tricity and magnetism. Right, they don't interact with light, they're invisible. 306 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: They pass right through anything that They ignore electromagnetic bonds, 307 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: so they pass through most materials. They don't feel the 308 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: strong force. The only way they interact is with the 309 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: weak force. And the weak force is pretty weak, which 310 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: is why neutrinos can mostly just pass through matter unaffected. 311 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 4: So we have four fundamental forces, right, and gravity is 312 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 4: one of these forces. And so when you say that 313 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 4: gravity is weak, you actually mean it's weak compared to 314 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 4: these other three forces. 315 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: That's right. 316 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,119 Speaker 1: And so the ranking is the strong force is the strongest, 317 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: so that one is actually well named. Congratulations, you know, 318 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: anonymous group of scientists. Yeah, we should be called the 319 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: as of twenty eighteen, currently known to be the strongest 320 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: force force. Right after that comes electromagnetism, and you know, 321 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: we know that force is pretty powerful. You stick your 322 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: finger in the socket, you're going to feel the wrath 323 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: of electromagnetism. 324 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 6: Right. 325 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 3: It's not an unfamiliar feeling. 326 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 4: Right, try to stick your in anything, you feel it, right, 327 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: because it's electromagnetism is the force that keeps you from 328 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 4: basically passing through the table or passing through your car. 329 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: Right, that's right. 330 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: Because electromagnetism is the basis of chemical bonds, right, and 331 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: chemical bonds are really the thing that form the structure 332 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: of your body. You think of your body is like 333 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of particles, but it's held together by all 334 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: these forces. It's like a chain link fence binding together 335 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: these little particles that prevents you from passing through something else. Yeah, 336 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: so we got the strong force, and then electromagnetism, and 337 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: then actually the weak nuclear force. Right, this is the 338 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: force that like powers neutrinos and radioactive decay. It's much 339 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: weaker than electromagnetism and much weaker than the strong force. 340 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 4: Even weaker than the weak is gravity. 341 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 3: That's right. 342 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: If you make a list like strong force, electromagnetism in 343 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: the weak force, then you should leave like one hundred 344 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: blank pages, and then you get to gravity. Because when 345 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: we compare these forces, we put things like an equal 346 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: distance apart, and we compare the strength of the forces. 347 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: Gravity is ten to the thirty six times weaker than 348 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: the weak force. That's ten with thirty six zeros in 349 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: front of it. 350 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 4: But isn't that sort of a matter of units or scale? 351 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean? Like, it's much weaker, 352 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 4: but only if you compare apples to apples, right, orange oranges? 353 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 3: That's right. 354 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: But put two protons next to each other, rightm hm. 355 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Two protons have a certain amount of mass and a 356 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: certain amount of electric charge, and the force of their 357 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: charges is going to be much much stronger than the 358 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: force from their masses. 359 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 4: Oh I see. 360 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, if everything was much much more massive, then 361 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: there would be stronger gravity. But you can compare these 362 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: things apples to apples by comparing them at you know, 363 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: the same distance and the same basic unit of interaction. 364 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 4: Right, But what if you take an apple put it 365 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 4: next to another apple? 366 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: Well, I think you can do that experiment. Nothing's going 367 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: to happen because gravity is so weak. Right, you don't 368 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 1: see two apples like pulling themselves together on the counter, right, 369 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: they built in apple collider. You know, the apples are 370 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: not drawn to each other. Gravity is a super weak force, 371 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: and you can see this yourself. Right, you can do 372 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: an experiment where you counter the entire gravitational force of 373 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: an enormous celestial body like the Earth. Right, take a 374 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: small kitchen magnet and use it to hold up a nail, 375 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: and think about what's happening there. Right, You have the 376 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: nails being pulled down by every single rock in the Earth. 377 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: It's pulling with all of its gravity. But a tiny 378 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: little kitchen magnet totally overcomes that. 379 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 4: It can lift a nail even though it's pulling. It's 380 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 4: being pulled down by the whole entire planet Earth. 381 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 3: Right exactly. 382 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: And now imagine a magnet the size of the Earth, right, 383 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean that would be that would be extraordinarily powerful. 384 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: And so you have basically like a gravitational blob the 385 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: size of the Earth. Still pretty ineffective compared to electromagnetism. 386 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: Hmmm, So it's weak if you sort of compare it 387 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 4: by object. Like you said, if you take a proton 388 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 4: and put an extra proton, the force are going to 389 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 4: feel from electromagnetism is so much bigger than the gravity 390 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 4: they're going to feel towards each other, the same with 391 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 4: like two electrons or two quarks and things. So in 392 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 4: the scale of like the particles that we know, it's 393 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 4: a really. 394 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: Weak force, that's right, exactly, And yet and yet it 395 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: seems to dominate, right. That's a bit of a puzzle, Like, 396 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: on one hand, it's super duper weak and we're telling 397 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: you that it hardly counts for anything. On the other hand, 398 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: it's responsible for the structure of the Solar System, man 399 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: for the galaxy, and it's the reason the universe looks 400 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: the way it is, right, right, And so that can 401 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: be confusing to people, Like how do you reconcile those 402 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: two things in your head? 403 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like why doesn't the Earth feel an electromagnetic force 404 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 4: with the Sun, which it would be so much bigger 405 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 4: than the force of gravity. 406 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, we it would be pretty shocking. 407 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: And that's actually the reason is gravity is different from 408 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: the other forces and that it can't be canceled out 409 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: right if there was some huge electrostatic difference between the 410 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: Sun and the Earth. Like a bunch of positive charges 411 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: there and a bunch of negative charges here. It would 412 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: create such an enormous force that it would be very 413 00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: quickly balanced. 414 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 3: Like that's what lightning is. Right. 415 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: When there's a charge differential between clouds and the ground, 416 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: it's it doesn't take that much before those charges want 417 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: to rearrange themselves to a lower energy configuration. They rush 418 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: down to the ground, or they rush up to the clouds, 419 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: or they jump from cloud cloud to balance themselves out. 420 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: Because you have two kinds of charges, you have positive 421 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: and you have negative, so you can find an arrangement 422 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: where basically everybody's happy. It's an equilibrium, right, But that's 423 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: not true for gravity. 424 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 4: Okay, I get it. So for example, if the Earth 425 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 4: was every particle on Earth had a positive electromagnetic charge, 426 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 4: and every particle in the Sun had a negative electromagnetic charge, 427 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 4: there would be a humongous pull from electromagnetism, pulling the 428 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 4: Earth into the Sun. 429 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd be toast pretty quick. Yeah, a long lived experiment. 430 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be huge. Even the opposite, if we 431 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 4: were all positive and the Sun was all positive, we 432 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 4: would get shot out of the Solar system very quickly. 433 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 3: That's right. 434 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: And that's why you know, early days of the Solar 435 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: system being formed, you have these gases and the gas 436 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: and dust coalescing and very rapidly things neutralize, right, because 437 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: anything that feels an electrostatic force to something else is 438 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: going to find the opposite charge and they're going to 439 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: coalesce and they're going to make something neutral. 440 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 3: Right. 441 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: That's why most of the things around you are neutral. Right, 442 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: Most of the elements are neutral, because any deviation from 443 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: neutral results in a powerful force to neutralize it. 444 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 4: So, thankfully, the Earth is made out of both like 445 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 4: equal amounts of positive and negative. 446 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 3: Particles, right, that's right. 447 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: Thankfully we're sort of balanced electromagnetically, and so even if 448 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 4: the Sun was all positive, we would look like neutral, 449 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 4: like a neutral ball to the Sun. 450 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. 451 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: Where on large scales the Earth is neutral, right, I 452 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: mean there might be some residual positive or negative charge 453 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: depending on the solar wind, et cetera. But basically the 454 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: Earth is neutral, and so the largest force of the 455 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: Earth feels is the gravity from the Sun. Even though 456 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: gravity is super dup or weak, right, it doesn't take 457 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: a lot to counteract gravity. But it's the only player 458 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: left because everybody else is sort of pair it up 459 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: and danced off for the night, and gravity's just there 460 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: left hold in the bag, and gravity can't be balanced. 461 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 3: Right. 462 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: You feel gravity if you have any mass, right, it 463 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: is only positive masses and no such thing as a 464 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: negative mass to give anti gravity. 465 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 3: Wow. 466 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 4: Well, let's keep going, but first let's take a quick break. 467 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: When you pop a piece of cheese into your mouth 468 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: or enjoy a rich spoonful of Greek yogurt, you're probably 469 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: not thinking about the environmental impact of each and every bite. 470 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: But the people in the dairy industry are. US dairy 471 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: has set themselves some ambitious sustainability goals, including being greenhouse 472 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: gas neutral by twenty to fifty. That's why they're working 473 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: hard every day to find new ways to reduce waste, 474 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: conserve natural resources, and drive down greenhouse gas emissions. Take water, 475 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: for example, most dairy farms reuse water up to four 476 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: times the same water cools the milk, cleans equipment, washes 477 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: the barn, and irrigates the crops. How is US dairy 478 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: tackling greenhouse gases? Many farms use anaerobic digestors that turn 479 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: the methane from maneuver into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, 480 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: and electric cars. So the next time you grab a 481 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: slice of pizza or lick an ice cream cone, know 482 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: that dairy farmers and processors around the country are using 483 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: the latest practices and innovations to provide the nutrient dense 484 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: dairy products we love with less of an impact.

So how's it different than the other 511 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 4: three forces of nature? 512 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 3: There's like no end to waste. 513 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: Gravity is weird, you know, there's no end to like 514 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: the puzzles of gravity is fascinating. 515 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 4: Bottomless pit. 516 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: That's right, it's a black hole of questions. And one 517 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: of my favorites is just that we have no way 518 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: to sort of fit gravity in with the way the 519 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: universe works. According to everything else, you know, we talked 520 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: earlier about how we have particles and we have forces 521 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: or quantum fields equivalently, and that's a really successful way 522 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: to describe the universe. You know, we have the Large 523 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: Hadron Collider to explore these things really high energies, and 524 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: we've understood all sorts of things using this theory. But 525 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: that theory is used as quantum mechanics. So the way 526 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: we describe interactions, you know, the way we talk about 527 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: two electrons repelling each other, or the way lightning is 528 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: formed or anything, involves passing quantum particles back and forth. 529 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: And that's just not true for gravity. 530 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 4: What does that mean? Passing particles back and forth? Like 531 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: when like if I have two magnets and they're attracted 532 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 4: to each other, they're not. They're not It's not like 533 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 4: an invisible telekinesis pull on each other. They're actually swapping 534 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: particles and I can't see that is that kind of 535 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 4: what do you mean? 536 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: That's exactly what I mean. That the way two things 537 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: interact via some force is by exchanging particles. And so 538 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: for example, electromagnetism, right, is the force behind a magnet, 539 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: and the way electromagnetism works, we think at a sort 540 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: of microscopic particle level, is that there's a particle that 541 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: transmits that force, that sends sort of the information back 542 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: and forth between two things that are feeling it. And 543 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: in the case of electromagnetism, that particle is the photon. Right, 544 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: the particle is also a packet of light. So each 545 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 1: of the quantum forces that we talked about before electromagnetism, 546 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: the weak force and the strong force, each of them 547 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: have a particle we associate with it. And that's not 548 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: just like some name tag we put on and say, hey, 549 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: you get this one, you get this one. We think 550 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: that that's the particle that's responsible for making the force work. 551 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: So when two electrons come near each other, how do 552 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: they repel each other? How does that actually happen. Well, 553 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: we think that they send photons out right, the electric 554 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: field of a moving electron, right, An accelerating electron generates photons, 555 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: and those photons interact with the other electrons, and so 556 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: basically the passing messages back and forth using these quantum particles. 557 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 4: So gravity is weird because we don't know that there 558 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 4: is a quantum particle being exchanged when two things get 559 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 4: attracted gravitationally. 560 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 3: That's right. 561 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: So we have this great framework. We say, oh, maybe 562 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: all forces are quantum mechanical fields interacting with each other. Right, 563 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 1: Let's apply that to the electromagnetic field. Yeah it works. 564 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: Let's apply that to the weak force. Yeah it works. 565 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: Let's apply to the strong force. Ooh, cool, it works. 566 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: Maybe this is something deep about the way the universe works. 567 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: Let's apply it to gravity. Uh oh, it doesn't work, right, 568 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? What does it mean when 569 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: I say it doesn't work? 570 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 3: Well? 571 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: For a theory to work, it has to provide predictions 572 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: for experiments. You have to be able to say, okay, theory, 573 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: what would happen in this configuration if I shot a 574 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: proton and another part predict what would happen, and then 575 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: you can go off and do the experiments and compare it. 576 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 3: Right. 577 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: Well, when you do that for gravity, you try to 578 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: form a quantum theory of gravity, it doesn't work. You 579 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: get nonsense answers. You get answers like infinity right, or 580 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: things disappear, or it just it doesn't mathematically function. Like, 581 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: there's no way to build a theory of gravity that 582 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: we've discovered so far that works, that actually explains the 583 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: way these things happen. There are a few candidates out 584 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: there there pretty far from being a functional theory of 585 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: quantum gravity, things like loop quantm gravity or string theory. 586 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: But the basic problem is that quantum mechanics and general relativity, 587 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: which is our best theory of gravity, do not play 588 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: well together, and we have no functioning quantum theory of gravity. 589 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 4: H So does that mean that we don't have the 590 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 4: right theory or is that gravity is just not quantum 591 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 4: in nature? 592 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: That's exactly the question we don't know the answer to. 593 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: Right in one hundred years from now, somebody will know 594 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: the answer to that, I hope, and they'll look back 595 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: and they'll wonder. You know, those guys see the clues, 596 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: but we don't know. It could be that there is 597 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: a quantum theory gravity. We're just not smart enough to 598 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: think it up yet, right, Like the right person hasn't 599 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: been born yet to put the math together, or maybe 600 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: it requires a different kind of math that we're using. Right, 601 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: there's some assumption we're making that's a mistake. 602 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 4: Or maybe just giving it a wrong name, like maybe 603 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 4: it should be gravit tunis or. 604 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: Gravitinos, gravitas that's taken exactly. 605 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 3: That's definitely the problem. 606 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: That's step number one, when we made a mistake in 607 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: step number one, when we could define the particle. The 608 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: other option, of course, is that maybe gravity is not 609 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: a quantum force the way the other forces are. Right, 610 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: the other forces we call them quantum forces because they're 611 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: well described by quantum mechanics, but gravity is kind of different. 612 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the current theory we have a gravity general relativity. 613 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't like to describe gravity as a force, right, 614 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 1: describes gravity instead as a bending of space. It says 615 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: that when you have mass somewhere in space, space no 616 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: longer becomes straight, becomes bent, right, so that things move 617 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: in curves and circles. 618 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 4: And it's not like an actual just a mathematical nuance 619 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 4: or a mathematical perspective. What really confirms it is the 620 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 4: idea that gravity can affect things that don't have mass. 621 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 3: Right. 622 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 4: That's how we know it's more than just a force 623 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 4: between things that have mass. It actually like affects space 624 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 4: for things that don't have mass. 625 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: Right, that's exactly right. So if you shoot a photon 626 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: through space that has mass nearby, the photon will not 627 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: move in what we consider to be a straight line, right, 628 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: it'll find a path through this bent space that involves 629 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: basically curving. And this is what Einstein predicted with his theory, 630 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,959 Speaker 1: and they saw it, you know. And you can see 631 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: in space it's called gravitational lensing. You can see photons 632 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: get bent by heavy objects. And it's because, as you say, 633 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: the heavy objects are bending space itself. 634 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 4: Right, It's not like gravity is pulling the photon because 635 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 4: the photon doesn't have any mass. 636 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 3: Right, that's right, the photon doesn't have any mass. 637 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's how it's like gravity seems to affect 638 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 4: things that don't have sort of its fundamental property, you know, 639 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 4: like electromanetic forces can affect something that does not have 640 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 4: an electric charge. 641 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 3: That's true. 642 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 4: Gravity can affecting everything else. 643 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 6: Right. 644 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a pretty deep insight there. 645 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 4: Not bad for a cartoonist, not at all. 646 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fascinating way to think about it. I 647 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: think that's totally correct. 648 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 649 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: And so if gravity is instead of being a force, 650 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: if it's a way we change the shape of space itself, then. 651 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 3: Maybe that's why we don't have a quantum theory of it. Right. 652 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: And that's amazing and it's fantastic and it's exciting. And 653 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: another reason why we have a hard time bringing these 654 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: two things together is that quantum mechanics, the theory we've 655 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: developed only works so far in flat space. That is, 656 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: if there's really heavy stuff nearby, we don't know how 657 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: to do those quantum calculations. We can basically only do 658 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: quantum mechanics in places where there isn't really strong gravity. 659 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 4: So wait, it's a quantum physics doesn't work in reality basically? 660 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 4: Is that what you're saying, Like, it doesn't work in 661 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 4: the space that we actually live in. 662 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: Well, it works basically everywhere except for close to black holes. 663 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: Mm right, you need basically a black hole have enough 664 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: gravity to break down quantum mechanics, because it's when when 665 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: space gets really distorted that you start to see the 666 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: effects of gravity on space, and then it becomes comparable 667 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: to the strength of other stuff, and that's when that's 668 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: when quantum mechanics breaks down. 669 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, quantum quantum field theory works. 670 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: Basically what we call flat space, whereas gravity bends space. 671 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 4: Wow, so earlier when we categorize gravity as part of 672 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 4: these four fundamental forces, maybe that's just the wrong approach. 673 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 4: Maybe you know, do you know what I mean? Like, 674 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 4: maybe we shouldn't be categorizing these four things as one 675 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 4: category of quote forces. 676 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 3: That's right. 677 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: It could be could be that there is no quantum 678 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: theory of gravity as a fundamental force because it isn't one. Yeah, 679 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: and it's just a feature of space, right, Absolutely, that's 680 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: one possible explanation. But then we still need a way 681 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: to make quantum mechanics work in bent space, right, And 682 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: we still need to understand how to make our theory 683 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: of general relativity play well with quantum mechanics, because we 684 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: think quantum mechanics describes the universe, right, and general relativity 685 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: is not a quantized theory. 686 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 3: It's it's continuous, right. 687 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: It treats space and everything as if it's infinitely divisible. 688 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 3: Right, it's not a quantum theory at all. 689 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: In fact that it came about before quantum mechanics was 690 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: even invented. And so while the basic tenets of it 691 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: how it distorted space are probably correct, I mean, been 692 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: verified to zillion degrees of accuracy, it doesn't feel like 693 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: it can be a fundamental description of nature because it's 694 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: not quantum mechanical. 695 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 4: So, like we want to call it a force because 696 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 4: it seems to move things like all the other forces, 697 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 4: but it's maybe it's not a force. Maybe it's just 698 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 4: kind of like some other weird property of space. 699 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. 700 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: You know, maybe we've been trying to put a round 701 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: peg into a square hole all these years. 702 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 4: A gravity peg in a quantum hole. 703 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. And there are other ways that 704 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: people are trying to solve this problem. Like one way 705 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: is thinking that maybe gravity is a fundamental force, but 706 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: it just works a little bit differently from the other forces. 707 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: For example, people think about how the universe might have 708 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: additional spatial dimensions, you know, like instead of just being 709 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: able to move in three directions, maybe there's like four 710 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: or five six dimensions that you can move in. And 711 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: folks who are interested in that should listen to our 712 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: podcast on extra dimensions. 713 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 4: No, yeah, we did a whole episode on extra dimensions, 714 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 4: but we didn't sort of get into this particular topic. 715 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 4: So tell us how extra dimensions might explain why gravity 716 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 4: is so weak. 717 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, The idea is that maybe gravity isn't so weak. 718 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: Maybe gravity is just as strong as all the other forces. 719 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: But if there's a whole other set of dimensions out there, 720 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: that's ways directions that think can move. It might be 721 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: that gravity is the only thing that feels those dimensions, right. 722 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: It might be that those dimensions are invisible to electromagnetism 723 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: and to the weak force into the strong force, but 724 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: visible to gravity. And what that means is that gravity 725 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: might be basically leaking out into those other dimensions. You know, 726 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: we talked about how the farther away you get from something, 727 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,439 Speaker 1: the weaker the forces. So like Mercury feels the force 728 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: of the Sun's gravity much more strongly than Pluto does. Right, 729 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: irrelevanti of whether or not you call it a planet, 730 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel gravity very strongly. And that's because it's 731 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: further from the Sun, right. I mean that goes like 732 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: one over are squared or are is the distance it's 733 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: one of our squared because we have three dimensions. If 734 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: we had six dimensions, it would be one over R five, right, 735 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: which falls much more rapidly. So if there are additional 736 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: dimensions out there, okay, and only gravity feels them, then 737 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: that might be the reason why gravitational force falls so quickly. 738 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: Maybe gravity's actually just as strong as everything else when 739 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: you get really really close. But then these extra dimensions exist, 740 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: and most of gravity leaks out into those other dimensions. 741 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 4: Oh, sort of like between you and me. There's not 742 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 4: just the three dimensions between you and me. May there 743 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 4: are other secret hidden spaces kind of between you and 744 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 4: me or these other dimensions. 745 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: Exactly, other ways for gravity to spread out, all right, And. 746 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 4: So gravity would be like just as strong as all 747 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 4: the other forces, but it's just flessing its muscles in 748 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 4: these other spaces that we can't see or feel exactly. 749 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, if somebody's at the center of 750 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: a crowd and they let go a really stinky far right. 751 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: The people next to them they smell it strongly, and 752 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 1: the people further away they smell it much more weakly, 753 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 1: and people outside don't smell it at all. 754 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 4: Right, No, imagine the farts really suddenly butt's let's let's 755 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 4: go with it. 756 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: Hey, I'm trying to make this accessible. You know, this 757 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,760 Speaker 1: is something everybody can to appreciate. 758 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 4: Trying to make when I get it cut it. 759 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: But if there was somewhere else for that far to go, 760 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, if it could move not just sideways, but 761 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: also could float up right, so you had a really 762 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: tall room in the far floated up. Then people wouldn't 763 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: feel it as much because most of them far would 764 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: dissipate into the upper corners of the room, and so 765 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: gravity might be the same way. It might be that, 766 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, for the first millimeters, so the first centimeters, 767 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: so gravity gets very weak, very quickly, it falls off 768 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: really rapidly, and that then you know, at normal distances 769 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: like a meter or ten meters or whatever, you don't 770 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: feel those other dimensions anymore because the other dimensions only 771 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: activate it really really short distances. This is the theory 772 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: people came up with, and we don't know if it's real. 773 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: You know, we've tested it so far. It seems like 774 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: gravity works the same way for galactic scales and for 775 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: earth scales, and for microscopic scales. It seems to always 776 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 1: fall off at the same rate as a function of distance. 777 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: So nobody's ever seen any evidence of these extra dimensions. 778 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: But it's a fascinating theory and it's a you know, 779 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: it's one that would give kind of a natural explanation 780 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: for why gravity would fall off so quickly and why 781 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: gravity is so weak. 782 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,280 Speaker 3: It wouldn't explain all these other things. 783 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,720 Speaker 4: But in fact, people sort of try to use gravity 784 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 4: to see if there are other dimensions, right. 785 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. It would be a really cool clue, 786 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: right if. And that's a fascinating way that science has done. 787 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: You know, you try to look at everything around you 788 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 1: and see if you can fit it all into one framework, Like, 789 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: can I use this one set of ideas to describe 790 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: everything right onto one set of concepts? 791 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. In my fart theory of the universe. 792 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: The best possible way I think to unravel this is 793 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: to actually go visit a black hole, because quantum mechanics 794 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: and general relativity tell you very different things about what's 795 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: happening inside a black hole. Right, As we said before, 796 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: general relativity tells you it's an infinite testimal dot of 797 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: almost infinite density. Quantum mechanics says, you know, the universe 798 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: is quantized first of all, so you can't have infinite 799 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: testimal dots. And also this sort of a minimum size 800 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: to stuff, right, and you can't have all that stuff 801 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: compressed in such a tiny little area. And so if 802 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 1: you could see inside a black hole, you would learn 803 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: a lot about gravity. 804 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 4: So what would be the plan You would go into 805 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 4: a black hole, you would observe and discover how the 806 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 4: universe works, and then and then you'd be stuck there. 807 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,959 Speaker 1: That's right, they would have to send your Nobel prize 808 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: into the black hole after that. I just assume you'd 809 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 1: figured it out and cause the Nobel Prize into space 810 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: into the black hole. Anybod who's listening, please do not 811 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: go into a black hole. Please please do not go 812 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 1: into a black hole. But you know, we don't need 813 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: to visit black holes. We could try to create them 814 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 1: here on Earth. 815 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 4: That sounds like a great idea. 816 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, doesn't that sound like a great idea. 817 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 4: I mean I'm excited make it. 818 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 3: So, Yeah, let's create a black hole and study it. 819 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: Right, if gravity gets really really powerful when you get 820 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: to really short distances because of this extra dimension theory, 821 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: then it might be that if you shoot two protons 822 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: together really really hard and they get really really close 823 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: to each other, that you can create a super duper 824 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: mini extra cute, little fuzzy black hole. Right, I'm trying 825 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: to make it sound like a cozy. 826 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 4: Thing, not a yeah, you're trying to sell it, right. 827 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 1: And so before we turned on the large Hadron collide 828 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: about ten years ago, people thought maybe by smashing these 829 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: protons together, we could actually create a black holes and 830 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: we could study them. We can reveal the deep secrets 831 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: of gravity. 832 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 4: Right hmmm, So then the idea would be to try 833 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 4: to make them at the Large Hadron Collider and just 834 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 4: can of see what happens. Mm hm, like, does it 835 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 4: tell us something about gravity or quantum physics at the 836 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 4: same time. 837 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. By seeing how often they're made and how 838 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: strong they are, and what they turned into and whether 839 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: they decay, we could understand something about the way black holes. 840 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,560 Speaker 3: Work, and that would have been really powerful. 841 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: But unfortunately or fortunately, depending on hy feel above black holes, 842 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: we haven't made any black holes at the Large Hadron 843 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: Collider that we've discovered. 844 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 4: But maybe isn't it true that maybe you've made them 845 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 4: but they evaporate. 846 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: Yes, these black holes would be very short lived, but 847 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, everything we make at the Large Hadron Collider 848 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: is really short lived. These things last for like ten 849 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: to the negative thirty seconds or ten to the negative 850 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: twenty three seconds. We're pretty good at seeing short lived 851 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: stuff because it usually blows up into other things, and 852 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,279 Speaker 1: a black hole would have a really unusual signature in 853 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: our detectors. It would be pretty clear to see if 854 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,280 Speaker 1: we had made them. 855 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 4: Okay, but short of going into a black hole or 856 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 4: detecting farts and extra dimensions, we may not know in 857 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,320 Speaker 4: the near future what makes gravity so different. 858 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 3: That's right, it's going to take some work. I mean. 859 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: The other direction, is theoretical, is to build up a 860 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: theory of quantum gravity sort of from the bottom up, like. 861 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 4: Start from the beauty of math and physics, and then 862 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,800 Speaker 4: try to build it up to our level exactly. 863 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: And that's that's a wonderful way to do, is to say, like, 864 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 1: maybe the universe works in this way its most basic 865 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: fundamental nature, and build it up from there and see 866 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 1: if you can describe the universe that we see around us. 867 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 3: Wow. 868 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 4: All right, well that's pretty shocking to think gravity is 869 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 4: such a place, such a big role in our lives, 870 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,359 Speaker 4: and yet it's like the weakling in the universe, right, 871 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 4: It's like image, imagine if if gravity was stronger, life 872 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 4: would be a lot more chaotic, right and crazy? 873 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. 874 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 1: We would be closer to the sun and everything, we 875 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: would feel more intense. It's fascinating to me that gravity 876 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: has been a mystery to physics for hundreds of years. 877 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was the focus of Isaac Newton's studies. 878 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 3: You know, like. 879 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,240 Speaker 1: Hundreds of years ago people working on gravity, and still today, 880 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: even though we've made so much progress in terms of gravity, 881 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: we still have so much, so many basic questions about 882 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: it that we don't know the answers. 883 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 3: To, not even the really beginning of how to answer them. 884 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 3: To me, that's fascinating. 885 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: Gravity is such a rich source of mystery for physics 886 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: and for everybody. 887 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 4: Wow, all right, cool, I think it's maybe time to 888 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 4: push down this question. Thanks for joining us. 889 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: If you still have a question after listening to all 890 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: these explanations, please drop us a line. 891 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 3: We'd love to hear from you. 892 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: You can find us at Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram at 893 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: Daniel and Jorge that's one word, or email us at 894 00:42:48,840 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: Feedback at Danielandorge dot com. When you pop a piece 895 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: of cheese into your mouth, you're probably not thinking about 896 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,280 Speaker 1: the environmental impact. But the people in the dairy industry are. 897 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: That's why they're working hard every day to find new 898 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: ways to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and drive down 899 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: greenhouse gas emissions. How is us dairy tackling greenhouse gases? 900 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 1: Many farms use anaerobic digestors to turn the methane from 901 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: manure into renewable energy that can power farms, towns, and 902 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: electric cars.
