1 00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:01,670 my opinion they're not going to detect 2 00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:03,040 the dark matter 3 00:00:11,190 --> 00:00:05,120 because it doesn't exist 4 00:00:15,190 --> 00:00:13,190 i'm here with professor john moffett 5 00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,200 part of what i'm doing with this channel 6 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:17,920 as well as this documentary is to 7 00:00:22,150 --> 00:00:20,000 place people who i think 8 00:00:23,029 --> 00:00:22,160 have gotten not as much press as they 9 00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:23,039 should 10 00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:24,480 you've heard of lee smallin you heard 11 00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:25,600 you've heard of eric weinstein 12 00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:27,199 especially from the intellectual dark 13 00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:28,960 web you've heard of sabine hostenfelder 14 00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:30,880 because of her youtube channel but not 15 00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:32,559 many people have heard at least in the 16 00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:34,480 public have heard of john moffitt and he 17 00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:35,840 deserves 18 00:00:40,869 --> 00:00:38,239 just as much credit he's 19 00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:40,879 put out quite a few theories and not 20 00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:42,719 many people put out even one theory they 21 00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:45,040 usually develop an existing theory 22 00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:47,280 so i'm super excited to meet with john 23 00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,719 in person 24 00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:50,160 john how are you doing 25 00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:51,920 very good thank you 26 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:53,600 let's hear about your modified theory of 27 00:00:58,069 --> 00:00:54,800 gravity 28 00:01:01,349 --> 00:00:58,950 this 29 00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:01,359 non-symmetric theory which i 30 00:01:05,350 --> 00:01:02,960 worked on 31 00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:05,360 uh i decided that the anti-symmetric 32 00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:06,479 part 33 00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,159 of this 34 00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:10,960 metric sensor 35 00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:13,280 was not the electrolytic field 36 00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:14,640 it was 37 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,400 additional degrees of 38 00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:18,560 freedom for gravity 39 00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:20,960 it was part of the gravitational 40 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:23,439 field okay 41 00:01:26,710 --> 00:01:24,240 and 42 00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:26,720 so i called it the non-symmetric 43 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:28,720 gravitational theory 44 00:01:33,190 --> 00:01:31,920 now comes the first acronym ngt 45 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:33,200 let me just break this down for the 46 00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:34,960 audience quickly so in general 47 00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:37,040 relativity of the two tensor as i was 48 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,320 saying before then you have the 49 00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,280 symmetric it's it's a symmetric tensor 50 00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,960 but any tensor can be broken up into 51 00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,799 symmetric and an anti-symmetric part you 52 00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:46,640 can decompose it much like you can with 53 00:01:50,630 --> 00:01:48,640 coordinates there's an x and y 54 00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:50,640 or if you know about principal bundles 55 00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:52,320 there's a horizontal vertical part so 56 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:54,000 you can decompose so you can decompose 57 00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:55,200 and tensor into symmetric and 58 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,119 anti-symmetric part anti-symmetric part 59 00:02:00,709 --> 00:01:58,880 is just zero in the einstein field 60 00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,719 equations 61 00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:02,560 typically 62 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:04,560 and what moffitt is working on or was 63 00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:06,240 working on was realizing that this 64 00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:07,920 anti-symmetric part which einstein also 65 00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:09,119 tried to work on 66 00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:10,080 is not 67 00:02:14,309 --> 00:02:12,879 doesn't represent electromagnetism which 68 00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:14,319 is why i signed through it out because 69 00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:16,000 he was trying to make it fit 70 00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:17,440 you're like wait maybe it's not 71 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:20,400 electromagnetism but it's something else 72 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:21,200 okay 73 00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:24,319 and you can correct me if i'm incorrect 74 00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:26,800 very good perfect perfect 75 00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:27,680 um 76 00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,560 that's a succinct description 77 00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:32,080 um 78 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,200 so 79 00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:35,440 i publish the paper 80 00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,680 in physical review 81 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:39,840 1979 82 00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:42,160 called the new theory of gravitation 83 00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:44,800 what you do is in theoretical physics is 84 00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:47,040 the following 85 00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:50,640 you have an idea 86 00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:52,239 as 87 00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:55,920 richard feynman said you guessed an idea 88 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:57,760 now i'm going to discuss how we would 89 00:03:01,589 --> 00:02:59,920 look for a new law 90 00:03:05,350 --> 00:03:01,599 in general we look for new law by the 91 00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:05,360 following process first we guess it 92 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:07,680 then we can well don't let that's really 93 00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:10,239 true and okay you have this idea it 94 00:03:15,030 --> 00:03:13,040 takes seconds to have the idea okay 95 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:15,040 but then you 96 00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,720 have to formulate it 97 00:03:21,670 --> 00:03:19,040 in terms of a mathematical 98 00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:21,680 system mathematical equations 99 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,159 okay so you do that and you have to be 100 00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:26,239 self-consistent 101 00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:28,000 and then 102 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:30,400 you have to 103 00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:33,760 test it against experiment 104 00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:36,799 and it's three phases 105 00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:37,680 and 106 00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:39,920 the latter part the third phase is very 107 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:41,840 important 108 00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:43,599 because you have to know whether it's 109 00:03:47,990 --> 00:03:45,920 correct or not experimentally it's 110 00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:48,000 physics you're doing physics not just 111 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:50,640 mathematics 112 00:03:57,509 --> 00:03:56,550 if it's not doesn't fit the data 113 00:04:00,390 --> 00:03:57,519 then 114 00:04:02,070 --> 00:04:00,400 you throw away that guess that idea 115 00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:02,080 and you 116 00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:04,400 start some other idea 117 00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:05,439 or you 118 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:07,200 quit 119 00:04:10,789 --> 00:04:09,760 and this is how physics is done 120 00:04:11,990 --> 00:04:10,799 so 121 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:12,000 uh 122 00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:18,789 verifying this non-symmetric gravity 123 00:04:23,189 --> 00:04:20,160 it's not easy 124 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:23,199 doing experimental gravity physics is is 125 00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:24,720 difficult 126 00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:26,560 of course i had to agree with einstein's 127 00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,960 two of gravity that's the first 128 00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:32,720 necessary 129 00:04:35,749 --> 00:04:34,639 thing to find 130 00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:35,759 is correct 131 00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:38,240 if it doesn't agree with it presently 132 00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:40,720 solar experimental data for example 133 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:43,759 then this the whole thing is off 134 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:44,880 so 135 00:04:53,270 --> 00:04:50,880 um 136 00:04:55,270 --> 00:04:53,280 people criticized it too just you have 137 00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:55,280 to have criticism physics is a very 138 00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:56,960 conservative business 139 00:05:03,590 --> 00:04:59,040 you do not change the paradigm in 140 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:05,749 and it's the paradigm shift is usually 141 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:08,320 driven by experimental physics 142 00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,720 some the presence theory 143 00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:12,960 so-called standard theory by the way i 144 00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,400 don't like that i won't stand it but 145 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:16,960 anyway standard theory 146 00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,320 uh doesn't agree with some data 147 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:22,720 or a theory comes forward that predicts 148 00:05:27,350 --> 00:05:25,039 makes a prediction 149 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,870 your theory 150 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:30,720 fits the data that prediction fits but 151 00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:32,400 the older theory doesn't 152 00:05:39,029 --> 00:05:37,670 and 153 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:39,039 so 154 00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:50,560 1980s i had students working on 155 00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:53,919 and uh for example i had neil cornish 156 00:05:56,950 --> 00:05:55,680 graduation 157 00:05:59,110 --> 00:05:56,960 who um 158 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:59,120 was from australia 159 00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:00,400 and uh 160 00:06:07,350 --> 00:06:03,440 he's now professor 161 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:08,710 he's found 162 00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:11,360 curry senior professor the 163 00:06:15,189 --> 00:06:12,720 head of a 164 00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:15,199 gravity gravitational 165 00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:17,039 physics group 166 00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:23,270 so we we worked on this and 167 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:25,680 i had a potential solution 168 00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:27,360 for a black hole which did not have a 169 00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:28,639 horizon 170 00:06:35,909 --> 00:06:33,270 and uh 171 00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:35,919 using your modifier using this modified 172 00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:38,080 theory a black hole with no horizon 173 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:40,720 that's right uh cornish applied for a 174 00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:42,800 position at cambridge university 175 00:06:45,749 --> 00:06:44,000 to be a 176 00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:45,759 hawking's assistant stephen hawking's 177 00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:50,000 assistant and he became his assistant 178 00:06:55,749 --> 00:06:53,680 it's quite funny story because uh 179 00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:55,759 as neil told me later 180 00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:57,680 he was sitting in 181 00:07:02,629 --> 00:06:59,599 one of the rooms of the 182 00:07:04,710 --> 00:07:02,639 department of applied mathematics 183 00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:04,720 a silver street cambridge where hawking 184 00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:06,000 was 185 00:07:10,550 --> 00:07:09,120 and uh he's looking at the blackboard at 186 00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:10,560 a blackboard 187 00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:13,280 and he suddenly hears this voice 188 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:15,759 computer voice 189 00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:18,160 ah so you're neil cornish 190 00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:20,720 so you don't believe in black holes i 191 00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:22,240 believe 192 00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:27,029 so 193 00:07:38,070 --> 00:07:35,520 i started that then i started doing in 194 00:07:39,510 --> 00:07:38,080 particle physics again and left it for a 195 00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:39,520 while 196 00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:42,319 i worked on unified theory again and 197 00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,280 with another graduate student david ball 198 00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:47,919 who ended up as a professor simon 199 00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,479 friends university british columbia he 200 00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:52,400 was chair actually of the department at 201 00:07:58,469 --> 00:07:55,840 one point david ball b-o-l 202 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:58,479 and also with gabor constanta 203 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:01,039 who became professor and dean 204 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:03,120 of science at the 205 00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:05,919 university of winnipeg in manitoba 206 00:08:10,070 --> 00:08:07,440 uh we worked on 207 00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,080 that stuff and but uh there was no clear 208 00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:12,160 experimental evidence that could prove 209 00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:13,039 it 210 00:08:18,150 --> 00:08:15,360 you have to have one piece of experiment 211 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:18,160 of some some prediction 212 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:20,080 something that you have in your theory 213 00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:21,520 that cannot be 214 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:24,160 fitted by the other theories 215 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:26,560 this is very difficult this doesn't 216 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:29,199 happen often in physics 217 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:31,840 um maxwell's prediction 218 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:33,200 that light has to move as an 219 00:08:36,469 --> 00:08:34,560 electrically wave 220 00:08:38,829 --> 00:08:36,479 with the speed of light 221 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:38,839 is a prediction 222 00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:41,279 which hurts 223 00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:42,640 perhaps the 224 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:44,640 physicist brought 225 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:46,959 experimentally to be correct this is a 226 00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:50,000 remarkable result the iraq is dirac 227 00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:51,360 equation 228 00:08:58,949 --> 00:08:54,640 quantum field theory and quantum 229 00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:58,959 mechanics relativistic quantum physics 230 00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:01,360 and predicted antimatter 231 00:09:07,509 --> 00:09:03,839 when they went and looked for antimatter 232 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:07,519 and anderson caltech found in 1932 this 233 00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:10,560 is a an amazing prediction see 234 00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:11,519 so 235 00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:13,760 theref this happens a few times in 236 00:09:19,269 --> 00:09:15,839 physics 237 00:09:23,430 --> 00:09:19,279 einstein's theory of general relativity 238 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:23,440 had to pass the solar system experiments 239 00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:26,720 and then bending light of course 1.57 240 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:29,200 or five arc seconds 241 00:09:32,790 --> 00:09:30,240 uh 242 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,800 bending of light by the sun 243 00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:34,480 um 244 00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:36,640 the first two eclipse experiments were 245 00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:38,560 not all that great actually 246 00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:41,360 and time had to go on before we had a 247 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,000 really confirmation of the bending of 248 00:09:49,670 --> 00:09:47,040 light prediction by einstein 249 00:09:51,430 --> 00:09:49,680 and uh the period advance of mercury 250 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:51,440 this is the 251 00:09:55,030 --> 00:09:52,560 uh 252 00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:55,040 the rosetta precession 253 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:56,800 of mercury's orbit 254 00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:59,440 mercury is the planet closest to the sun 255 00:10:03,509 --> 00:10:01,440 and it presets into the written shape 256 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:03,519 some set of shape 257 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:04,959 which 258 00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,839 confounded newtonian gravity 259 00:10:11,590 --> 00:10:09,600 where does your modified theory come in 260 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:11,600 so i had to fit all this 261 00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:13,440 with my modified theory 262 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:19,670 i got interested in dark matter 263 00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:20,880 because 264 00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:22,560 there was beginning to be interest in 265 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:23,440 the 266 00:10:29,509 --> 00:10:28,000 very reuben astronomers of women 267 00:10:30,829 --> 00:10:29,519 astronomer 268 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,839 and 269 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:33,200 fought colleague 270 00:10:38,389 --> 00:10:36,000 did exp observations of uh 271 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:38,399 rotation curves of galaxies 272 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:41,680 if you observe doppler shifts 273 00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:44,160 uh light coming and going blue shifting 274 00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:45,200 richard 275 00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:46,880 and from these observations you can 276 00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:49,440 determine 277 00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:50,720 how fast 278 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:53,760 stars are moving around in the galaxy 279 00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:56,480 in a galaxy 280 00:11:00,630 --> 00:10:58,480 and they found 281 00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:00,640 with great surprise that the 282 00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:02,800 stars were moving faster than could be 283 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:05,760 accounted for by newtonian gravity 284 00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:09,600 the if you plot the rotation curve 285 00:11:12,790 --> 00:11:11,200 of the speed 286 00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:12,800 velocity 287 00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:16,560 vertical axis versus the distance 288 00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:19,200 of the size of the star from the center 289 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:21,920 are equal to zero radially 290 00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:25,920 then the curve comes up and flattens out 291 00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:27,680 whereas you're touring gravity predicts 292 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:28,880 that it 293 00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:31,440 should fall off okay and it's quite a 294 00:11:34,870 --> 00:11:33,519 six times 295 00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:34,880 the difference the difference between 296 00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:37,040 the touring gravity and this flat 297 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:38,800 rotation curve experimentally 298 00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:40,880 observationally it's it's a factor of 299 00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:44,560 six and that's confined to a galaxy 300 00:11:48,069 --> 00:11:46,720 that's what happens in our galaxy 301 00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:48,079 and 302 00:11:51,269 --> 00:11:49,519 well the reason i'm saying that is 303 00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:51,279 because we're gravitationally pulled by 304 00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:53,680 some other galaxy so if that curve 305 00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:55,200 extended out 306 00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:57,279 extremely far then we should be spinning 307 00:12:01,590 --> 00:11:59,360 you get back to your toeing gravity you 308 00:12:03,750 --> 00:12:01,600 must do it go as you go out towards 309 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:03,760 infinity 310 00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:05,600 so so it flattens out and then comes 311 00:12:09,590 --> 00:12:07,200 back down again 312 00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:09,600 so this intrigued me because 313 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:11,360 einstein gravity 314 00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:13,600 contains newtonian gravity and we 315 00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:16,720 effectively use newtonian gravity for 316 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:18,320 galaxies because the gravitational field 317 00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:20,720 is weak 318 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:22,839 all 319 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:25,040 experiments um 320 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:27,760 on gravity after weak gravitational 321 00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:30,160 fields the solar system 322 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:32,160 is weak gravity 323 00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:33,519 except for 324 00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:35,360 neutron stars 325 00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,000 einstein newton doesn't work dark matter 326 00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:42,399 what is this so 327 00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:44,320 in the 70s 328 00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:46,480 that the first 329 00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:48,480 astronomer to 330 00:12:52,710 --> 00:12:50,720 to note this problem was 331 00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:52,720 she it's ricky 332 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:54,560 in 1933 333 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:57,120 swiss astronomer rather eccentric 334 00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:58,959 character he has his name on virtually 335 00:13:03,509 --> 00:13:01,600 every aspect of physics he 336 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:03,519 did some calculations for 337 00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:05,360 what are called clusters these are 338 00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:08,560 clutters of galaxies not stars 339 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:10,800 galaxies containing stars and these 340 00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:12,959 clusters are huge 341 00:13:17,269 --> 00:13:15,519 and uh he found that what's by what's 342 00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:17,279 called the variable theorem 343 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:18,160 that they 344 00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:20,639 if you use newtonian gravity 345 00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:23,279 they can't be stable they have to 346 00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:24,720 blow apart 347 00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:27,760 gravity is not sufficiently strong to 348 00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:29,360 maintain 349 00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:30,399 uh 350 00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:33,040 equilibrium stability 351 00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:34,639 so he said well there's got to be extra 352 00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:36,959 better dark matter 353 00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:40,240 and that's it already 1933 354 00:13:44,230 --> 00:13:41,440 and so on 355 00:13:46,629 --> 00:13:44,240 but no one paid much attention to it 356 00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:46,639 but that because of vera ruben and the 357 00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,959 problem with the galaxies now things 358 00:13:53,750 --> 00:13:50,959 became serious 359 00:13:55,110 --> 00:13:53,760 and uh more and more attention was paid 360 00:13:59,030 --> 00:13:55,120 to 361 00:14:01,030 --> 00:13:59,990 it's 362 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:01,040 to me 363 00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:02,880 in my opinion one of the major problems 364 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:04,320 of modern physics 365 00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:06,000 because due to the 366 00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:09,440 standard cosmology which i will get into 367 00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:13,120 the standard cosmological model 368 00:14:19,829 --> 00:14:16,399 dark matter plays an essential role 85 369 00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:19,839 86 percent of all matter 370 00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:22,399 is dark matter according to 371 00:14:26,949 --> 00:14:24,000 fitting the data 372 00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:26,959 cosmological data 373 00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:28,800 um 374 00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:30,880 so 375 00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:31,760 after 376 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:35,199 decades of effort 377 00:14:40,629 --> 00:14:38,079 and large sums of money 378 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:40,639 millions billions of dollars 379 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:42,800 one experiment after another 380 00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:44,320 they've been looking for dark matter 381 00:14:47,829 --> 00:14:45,839 particles 382 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:47,839 and no one can detect them no one has 383 00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:50,320 detected them 384 00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:53,360 so what does this mean 385 00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:54,720 um 386 00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,839 it i tend i'd call it potentially the 387 00:15:02,790 --> 00:14:59,600 modern ether 388 00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:02,800 because ether was accepted as being 389 00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:04,320 a fact 390 00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:05,839 at the end of the 391 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:07,760 19th century 392 00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:10,000 beginning of the 20th century it was a 393 00:15:13,509 --> 00:15:12,240 fact because you had to have electronic 394 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:13,519 waves 395 00:15:17,509 --> 00:15:15,760 move some through some medium 396 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,519 like sound moves through 397 00:15:22,310 --> 00:15:19,440 air as a medium 398 00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:22,320 maximum believed in ether 399 00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:23,920 and 400 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:25,600 so what does your modified theory of 401 00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:28,720 gravity say about dark matter so i 402 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,519 decided to 403 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:33,120 say that um 404 00:15:38,949 --> 00:15:34,959 that they like this mark of the 405 00:15:42,389 --> 00:15:38,959 anti-symmetric part of my gravity theory 406 00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:42,399 what's the part of gravity 407 00:15:47,910 --> 00:15:45,120 that modifies gravity 408 00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:47,920 without matter you see 409 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:49,600 because the first modification of 410 00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:50,959 gravity 411 00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:53,680 a serious modification 412 00:15:58,870 --> 00:15:57,040 was isaac newton was uh albert einstein 413 00:16:02,470 --> 00:15:58,880 who modified isaac newton's 414 00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:02,480 gravitational theory published in 18 415 00:16:07,189 --> 00:16:05,920 in 1687 in the pricipia 416 00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:07,199 and 417 00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:09,440 so i'm modifying einstein okay i mean 418 00:16:13,350 --> 00:16:11,040 that's 419 00:16:15,269 --> 00:16:13,360 einstein is failing 420 00:16:18,069 --> 00:16:15,279 newtonian and einstein crowd are failing 421 00:16:20,389 --> 00:16:18,870 describe this 422 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:20,399 [Applause] 423 00:16:31,350 --> 00:16:28,069 but 424 00:16:34,790 --> 00:16:31,360 one is always agnostic in physics 425 00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:34,800 if you can find the dark matter 426 00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:38,240 next month these huge experiments 427 00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:40,480 that are still ongoing 428 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:42,480 trying to detect what's called whims 429 00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:46,320 weakly interacting massive particles 430 00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:48,160 if they find that it fits in and they 431 00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:49,920 can explain the rotation curves of the 432 00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:51,360 galaxies 433 00:16:56,230 --> 00:16:54,320 then forget about modified gravity 434 00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:56,240 einstein's theory gravity is a beautiful 435 00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:57,279 theory 436 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:58,320 it fits 437 00:17:01,910 --> 00:16:59,759 the data 438 00:17:03,829 --> 00:17:01,920 and that's it 439 00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:03,839 but in my opinion they're not going to 440 00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:05,679 detect the dark matter 441 00:17:12,069 --> 00:17:07,760 because it doesn't exist 442 00:17:14,309 --> 00:17:13,270 so 443 00:17:16,829 --> 00:17:14,319 uh 444 00:17:20,309 --> 00:17:16,839 so i published papers 445 00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:20,319 uh doing this identifying this 446 00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:22,079 anti-symmetric 447 00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:23,760 part with 448 00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:27,439 as a new degree of freedom and gravity 449 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:29,520 so that i could fit the galaxy rotation 450 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:31,440 curves the flattening of the curves 451 00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:36,080 without dark matter and i did okay 452 00:17:41,110 --> 00:17:39,440 and i published a paper in 1995 453 00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:41,120 physics letters b 454 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:42,320 doing this 455 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:47,190 astronomers complain because 456 00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:48,960 non-symmetric gravity theory is 457 00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:50,720 complicated 458 00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:52,880 and they don't astronomers don't like 459 00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:54,720 this complication 460 00:17:57,750 --> 00:17:56,320 so i said all right i'll produce a 461 00:18:01,350 --> 00:17:57,760 simpler version 462 00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:01,360 so i produce what's called 463 00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:03,200 mstg 464 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:06,000 magic skew symmetry gravity than your 465 00:18:09,190 --> 00:18:07,679 previous version and so taking the 466 00:18:13,590 --> 00:18:09,200 previous version 467 00:18:17,669 --> 00:18:15,750 and when you say it's simpler 468 00:18:19,029 --> 00:18:17,679 well it's it's 469 00:18:20,310 --> 00:18:19,039 what are you sacrificing for the 470 00:18:22,630 --> 00:18:20,320 simplicity 471 00:18:25,110 --> 00:18:22,640 i'm sacrificing a lot of the 472 00:18:28,549 --> 00:18:25,120 mathematical mathematics 473 00:18:30,870 --> 00:18:28,559 i made it into a simpler version 474 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:30,880 by means of uh throwing out a lot of the 475 00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:34,559 complicated non-linear mathematics okay 476 00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:35,440 so 477 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:38,080 the way that i'm imagining it is like a 478 00:18:41,430 --> 00:18:39,360 taylor expansion you just take the 479 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:41,440 linear part and just remove that exactly 480 00:18:44,630 --> 00:18:43,120 right okay 481 00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:44,640 so then 482 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:46,960 i've published papers with this on top 483 00:18:51,350 --> 00:18:49,679 meta i simplified it again because this 484 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:51,360 drawing book started with still 485 00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:52,799 completing it 486 00:18:57,909 --> 00:18:55,760 so i i'll say okay i'll make it simpler 487 00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:57,919 so now we're down to scalar tensor 488 00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:01,039 vector gravity as tvg 489 00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,240 and uh 490 00:19:05,990 --> 00:19:04,320 this consisted of taking einstein's 491 00:19:08,070 --> 00:19:06,000 theory you've got to have einstein's 492 00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:08,080 theory as a base 493 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:10,880 otherwise it's just not going to work 494 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,240 when you say you have it as a base you 495 00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:14,480 mean you derive it in a limit like 496 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:17,039 newton's driving exactly you have to do 497 00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:19,120 that einstein was 498 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:20,559 confounded 499 00:19:25,029 --> 00:19:21,919 by the fact that he couldn't get 500 00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:25,039 newtonian gravity over a period of a 501 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:27,520 year or two and he gave up at one point 502 00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:29,679 but then he went back in with with 503 00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:31,280 grossmont and 504 00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:33,600 and uh eventually they got around to 505 00:19:38,950 --> 00:19:35,280 getting what's called the poisson 506 00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:38,960 equation and utorine gravity has a limit 507 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:41,280 natural limit of ice dichroid so i had 508 00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:42,799 to have this 509 00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:43,760 so 510 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:48,640 theory where 511 00:19:54,789 --> 00:19:51,039 i need a stronger gravity 512 00:19:57,510 --> 00:19:54,799 so i made big g i call it big g 513 00:20:00,390 --> 00:19:57,520 newton's constant i made it a variable 514 00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:00,400 constant interesting and 515 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:05,280 following what paul directed in 1938 516 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:08,559 proceeds are all society 517 00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:11,440 in nature about nature article you also 518 00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:13,360 have a variable speed of light is that 519 00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:14,960 tied to the variables that's another 520 00:20:18,549 --> 00:20:16,480 theory 521 00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:18,559 so um 522 00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:21,840 by the way the photon of gravity the 523 00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:23,520 quantum 524 00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:25,840 the photons he quotes 525 00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:28,559 is the graviton 526 00:20:33,430 --> 00:20:31,520 the graviton is is the 527 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:33,440 quantum particle that 528 00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:36,159 is exchanged between 529 00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:39,280 particles meta particles and produces 530 00:20:45,510 --> 00:20:42,720 newtonian gravity or einstein gravity 531 00:20:47,669 --> 00:20:45,520 okay in electrodynamics 532 00:20:50,070 --> 00:20:47,679 maxwell's electrode is a relativistic 533 00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:50,080 inversion of masochera 534 00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:52,080 the photon is exchanged between 535 00:20:56,149 --> 00:20:55,039 electrons to produce the coulomb force 536 00:20:58,470 --> 00:20:56,159 okay 537 00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:58,480 so therefore graviton is a photon no 538 00:21:02,470 --> 00:21:00,720 one's ever detected a graviton and 539 00:21:05,990 --> 00:21:02,480 probably no one ever will 540 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:08,149 he would take the whole galaxy as an 541 00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:11,360 accelerator to detect a graviton as 542 00:21:17,190 --> 00:21:14,320 freeman tyson said 543 00:21:18,870 --> 00:21:17,200 if you have a big enough mass 544 00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:18,880 to to uh 545 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:20,799 detect the graviton that mass would 546 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:23,360 collapse to apply 547 00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:25,840 anyway that's the theory okay the crappy 548 00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:27,600 time so 549 00:21:32,870 --> 00:21:29,200 so here i have 550 00:21:34,950 --> 00:21:32,880 the metric tensor field of einstein 551 00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:34,960 and then i have a new degree of frame 552 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:37,200 the vector field 553 00:21:45,750 --> 00:21:42,880 spin one graviton or a symmetric tensor 554 00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:45,760 t u corresponds to a spent spin two 555 00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:47,200 graviton 556 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:49,280 so i complete 557 00:21:53,750 --> 00:21:52,000 gravity with an extra graviton it's been 558 00:21:56,630 --> 00:21:53,760 one graviton 559 00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:56,640 and this vector fear is sourced by meta 560 00:21:59,830 --> 00:21:58,400 by mass 561 00:22:02,950 --> 00:21:59,840 okay 562 00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:02,960 so the electromagnetic potential 563 00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:05,840 amu of maxwell's equations is sourced by 564 00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:07,280 electric charge 565 00:22:11,669 --> 00:22:10,080 my vector field is sourced by mass 566 00:22:13,029 --> 00:22:11,679 to slight 567 00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,039 einstein's 568 00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:16,080 metric theory field theories field is 569 00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:19,760 sourced by meta by density of matter 570 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:22,799 so that's affected to the theory and 571 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,000 i wrote it up and uh 572 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:29,520 obviously in 2006 573 00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:33,669 eventually 574 00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:36,080 i started calling it mog modified 575 00:22:41,029 --> 00:22:39,600 clarity because it's 576 00:22:42,310 --> 00:22:41,039 moored at morikai 577 00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:42,320 milkrim 578 00:22:47,909 --> 00:22:44,080 in israel 579 00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:47,919 he was the first to publish a 580 00:22:55,270 --> 00:22:52,080 modification of newtonian gravity 581 00:22:57,750 --> 00:22:55,280 called mond modify newtonian dynamics 582 00:22:58,950 --> 00:22:57,760 right in 1983 583 00:23:02,710 --> 00:22:58,960 and he 584 00:23:04,870 --> 00:23:02,720 he's a pioneer i mean to do this because 585 00:23:08,310 --> 00:23:04,880 people were critical i mean you know 586 00:23:10,149 --> 00:23:08,320 modify einstein gravity 587 00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:10,159 so um 588 00:23:14,789 --> 00:23:11,679 this is month 589 00:23:17,669 --> 00:23:14,799 but mine is a non-relativistic 590 00:23:19,029 --> 00:23:17,679 formula it's not relativistic it's just 591 00:23:22,149 --> 00:23:19,039 a modification it's a modification 592 00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:22,159 newtonian gravity and it's based on 593 00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:30,549 a sub zero a for acceleration 594 00:23:37,110 --> 00:23:33,280 and a zero a sub zero it makes it 595 00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:37,120 special with as rotation and this is a 596 00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:38,559 number list 597 00:23:44,789 --> 00:23:41,760 it's uh one point two times ten to the 598 00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:44,799 minus power tends to the power minus ten 599 00:23:49,350 --> 00:23:46,880 meters per second squared this is the 600 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:49,360 unit of acceleration that's mind even if 601 00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:50,960 mont had correct predictions it would 602 00:23:54,789 --> 00:23:53,200 still be incomplete because how does it 603 00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:54,799 comport with the general relativity 604 00:23:58,149 --> 00:23:56,640 would be the open question 605 00:24:00,549 --> 00:23:58,159 because 606 00:24:01,950 --> 00:24:00,559 people attempted to 607 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:01,960 generalize this 608 00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:05,120 non-relativistic phenological formula 609 00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:07,120 a simple formula by the way astronomers 610 00:24:18,149 --> 00:24:13,990 astronomers like the simple matter yeah 611 00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:18,159 so it's a high score level formula okay 612 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,190 i don't want it's not a sense i mean my 613 00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:25,279 sense of humor is 614 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:27,039 but hey i've 615 00:24:35,190 --> 00:24:30,000 i call it marx you sort of mind them 616 00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:39,029 but uh this is silly but um 617 00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:40,799 mark it's it's important it's called 618 00:24:46,390 --> 00:24:44,080 mark because it's modified gravity 619 00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:46,400 right as opposed to modifying newtonian 620 00:24:51,029 --> 00:24:49,039 dynamics 621 00:24:53,510 --> 00:24:51,039 so you've got to have general route 622 00:24:55,269 --> 00:24:53,520 you've got to have general relativity 623 00:24:57,029 --> 00:24:55,279 okay so the big question everyone wants 624 00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:57,039 to know and the experimentalists who are 625 00:24:59,669 --> 00:24:58,480 watching this is do you make predictions 626 00:25:01,430 --> 00:24:59,679 that agree 627 00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:01,440 with the data okay 628 00:25:08,470 --> 00:25:05,440 so back to this three phases of physics 629 00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:08,480 have an idea guess it 630 00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,919 mathematical formulation http 631 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:13,679 you publish it 632 00:25:18,870 --> 00:25:16,080 now comes what i call 633 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:18,880 i call it physics his imagination in a 634 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:20,720 straight jacket 635 00:25:24,870 --> 00:25:22,640 imagination the idea 636 00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:24,880 the straight jacket is experimental 637 00:25:30,149 --> 00:25:27,600 physics can you agree with experimental 638 00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:30,159 physics can you predict something that 639 00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:33,600 the other people can't fit 640 00:25:39,269 --> 00:25:37,120 it's hard that's why physics is so hard 641 00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:39,279 because 642 00:25:44,390 --> 00:25:40,159 it 643 00:25:46,789 --> 00:25:44,400 when i paint uh i still paint 644 00:25:49,909 --> 00:25:46,799 um there's no criteria you have to match 645 00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:49,919 no i you i paint my i don't think 646 00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:51,279 it's all left 647 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:53,520 it's all right brain more or less your 648 00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:54,640 feelings 649 00:25:57,909 --> 00:25:56,559 color composition 650 00:26:00,070 --> 00:25:57,919 so i finish 651 00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:00,080 put it up on the wall 652 00:26:03,350 --> 00:26:01,840 and you either like it or you don't like 653 00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:03,360 it you know i don't have to prove 654 00:26:06,390 --> 00:26:05,120 anything i don't have to prove the 655 00:26:07,750 --> 00:26:06,400 painting 656 00:26:09,430 --> 00:26:07,760 you see 657 00:26:12,149 --> 00:26:09,440 it's not physiological i don't want to 658 00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:12,159 prove it just if you don't like it well 659 00:26:15,430 --> 00:26:13,600 okay 660 00:26:16,390 --> 00:26:15,440 maybe you like this painting 661 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:16,400 but 662 00:26:22,230 --> 00:26:20,080 in physics the test is to experiment 663 00:26:24,070 --> 00:26:22,240 and this is what makes physics so hard 664 00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:24,080 it's very challenging that's why i like 665 00:26:26,789 --> 00:26:25,760 it okay 666 00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:26,799 so 667 00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:29,760 uh okay moving forward 668 00:26:33,269 --> 00:26:30,960 um 669 00:26:35,750 --> 00:26:33,279 one paper after another 670 00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:35,760 i've been publishing papers now 671 00:26:41,750 --> 00:26:39,360 for 14 years htt stvg was published in 672 00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:41,760 2006. 673 00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:49,029 i published a pair long paper 674 00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,080 on 675 00:26:55,669 --> 00:26:52,640 mark black holes because i found a buy 676 00:26:58,230 --> 00:26:55,679 all solution okay 677 00:26:59,590 --> 00:26:58,240 and i call them marked black holes i 678 00:27:00,789 --> 00:26:59,600 call them 679 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:00,799 schwarzschild 680 00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:04,880 mog fly holes or car multiply holder my 681 00:27:09,430 --> 00:27:07,840 former collaborator and friend 682 00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:09,440 from trinity 683 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:11,200 and uh 684 00:27:16,710 --> 00:27:14,320 there's been a lot of i've lost track 685 00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:16,720 how many papers are published on more 686 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,720 play halls oh okay great because one of 687 00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:20,640 my questions was what's the reception 688 00:27:25,430 --> 00:27:22,799 like from the physics community 689 00:27:28,149 --> 00:27:25,440 i i've there must be i don't know i'm 690 00:27:30,470 --> 00:27:28,159 guessing 50 60 papers 691 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:30,480 that's a lot of citations 692 00:27:40,870 --> 00:27:37,750 i'm up to something like 6000 seven 693 00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:40,880 thousand citations holy moly yeah 694 00:27:46,070 --> 00:27:43,760 there's something called research gate 695 00:27:48,230 --> 00:27:46,080 which is a portal 696 00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:48,240 he was right on that so i'm up to 697 00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:50,720 something like eleven thousand uh 698 00:27:53,990 --> 00:27:53,039 readerships holy moly 699 00:27:55,029 --> 00:27:54,000 yeah 700 00:27:58,149 --> 00:27:55,039 so 701 00:28:01,029 --> 00:27:58,159 a lot of people know me from my physics 702 00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:03,269 this paper i just sent you just from 703 00:28:08,149 --> 00:28:06,000 chinese from china published yesterday 704 00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:08,159 it's owned on the archive it'll be 705 00:28:12,389 --> 00:28:10,399 published eventually it's a very 706 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:12,399 very good paper 707 00:28:18,310 --> 00:28:16,320 because i published in my big paper on 708 00:28:20,870 --> 00:28:18,320 mark black halls 709 00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:20,880 published the european physical journal 710 00:28:25,510 --> 00:28:22,000 c 711 00:28:26,190 --> 00:28:25,520 and this is a major european journal 712 00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:26,200 in 713 00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:27,760 2016 714 00:28:32,310 --> 00:28:31,360 and subsequent papers 715 00:28:40,549 --> 00:28:32,320 i 716 00:28:43,269 --> 00:28:40,559 for an object 717 00:28:45,510 --> 00:28:43,279 which may not have horizons 718 00:28:48,389 --> 00:28:45,520 and it's regular it does not have any 719 00:28:51,190 --> 00:28:48,399 singularity at the center 720 00:28:52,870 --> 00:28:51,200 it's completely regular 721 00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:52,880 interesting 722 00:28:57,029 --> 00:28:55,200 but it's close to having a horizon 723 00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:57,039 because there's a critical 724 00:29:02,470 --> 00:28:59,039 in in the development there's a free 725 00:29:06,389 --> 00:29:04,789 in the mathematics of the 726 00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:06,399 the metric 727 00:29:13,029 --> 00:29:10,080 describing my marked black hole 728 00:29:14,470 --> 00:29:13,039 and this offers a deviation parameter it 729 00:29:16,549 --> 00:29:14,480 deviates 730 00:29:17,830 --> 00:29:16,559 the theory from einstein 731 00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:17,840 black holes 732 00:29:22,710 --> 00:29:21,600 the size of alpha when alpha zero 733 00:29:25,510 --> 00:29:22,720 you get 734 00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:25,520 einstein by holes 735 00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:28,240 when half is not zero you don't okay 736 00:29:35,269 --> 00:29:33,990 black hole with a horizon 737 00:29:37,909 --> 00:29:35,279 actually 738 00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:37,919 my solution mock player always has two 739 00:29:42,870 --> 00:29:40,720 horizons 740 00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:42,880 and the parameters are just mass and 741 00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:44,000 spin 742 00:29:51,909 --> 00:29:47,760 and alpha three parameters that's it 743 00:29:56,149 --> 00:29:54,389 i published a 744 00:29:58,710 --> 00:29:56,159 no charge 745 00:30:00,070 --> 00:29:58,720 mass spin and alpha 746 00:30:02,630 --> 00:30:00,080 no charge 747 00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:02,640 no electric char by the way blind host 748 00:30:05,830 --> 00:30:04,240 astrophysical bodies do not have 749 00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:05,840 electric charge 750 00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:09,600 the electrical neutral because 751 00:30:13,669 --> 00:30:12,240 you have positive charge 752 00:30:16,149 --> 00:30:13,679 electrons and 753 00:30:18,230 --> 00:30:16,159 you have positive and negative charge 754 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:18,240 clumps of charge right 755 00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:20,640 and they neutralize one another i mean 756 00:30:25,669 --> 00:30:23,440 this is this is electrically neutral all 757 00:30:27,510 --> 00:30:25,679 astrophysical borders are bodies are 758 00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:27,520 electrically neutral the sun is 759 00:30:33,110 --> 00:30:30,000 electrically neutral there may be a tiny 760 00:30:33,909 --> 00:30:33,120 amount of charge but it's negligible so 761 00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:33,919 has 762 00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:36,720 very little of any effect on the 763 00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:38,480 on space-time 764 00:30:43,029 --> 00:30:40,480 metric 765 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:43,039 through max-einstein equations 766 00:30:46,870 --> 00:30:45,600 okay this is for astrophysics so black 767 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:46,880 holes 768 00:30:51,029 --> 00:30:48,480 should be electrically neutral papers 769 00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:51,039 are published showing this is the case 770 00:30:59,029 --> 00:30:55,750 so 771 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:59,039 they discharge their charge 772 00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:00,640 so 773 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:03,200 this theory is just mass 774 00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:06,000 but mass is positive it doesn't have a 775 00:31:10,230 --> 00:31:09,120 negative counterpart there's no negative 776 00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:10,240 mass 777 00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:12,000 so there's no electric so-called 778 00:31:16,149 --> 00:31:13,840 equivalent of a dipole 779 00:31:19,029 --> 00:31:16,159 there's no mass dipole okay because you 780 00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:19,039 can't have a positive negative mass 781 00:31:22,870 --> 00:31:21,520 at two poles 782 00:31:25,510 --> 00:31:22,880 so um 783 00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:25,520 anyway so 784 00:31:28,710 --> 00:31:27,120 by the way if someone is interested and 785 00:31:30,549 --> 00:31:28,720 they have a pension for mathematics as 786 00:31:32,070 --> 00:31:30,559 well as physics and they want to learn 787 00:31:33,990 --> 00:31:32,080 about your theory do they just read the 788 00:31:35,669 --> 00:31:34,000 papers or do you have a book that you 789 00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:35,679 published much like there are books that 790 00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:37,360 introduce someone to general relativity 791 00:31:42,549 --> 00:31:39,440 from nothing no i haven't actually 792 00:31:47,029 --> 00:31:44,549 a text book on this 793 00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:47,039 i'm too busy working out the theory 794 00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:50,080 probably i i do these but this i just 795 00:31:54,630 --> 00:31:52,880 dictate them but doing a textbook is 796 00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:54,640 much more complicated 797 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:55,840 because you have to deal with all the 798 00:32:00,549 --> 00:31:57,440 equations and this 799 00:32:01,350 --> 00:32:00,559 but eventually i hope to get a review 800 00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:01,360 but 801 00:32:05,669 --> 00:32:04,480 there was a review published by 802 00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:05,679 um 803 00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:07,919 daniela perez 804 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:09,120 and 805 00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:11,440 gustaf romero 806 00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:13,760 there at the institute for physics in 807 00:32:17,590 --> 00:32:15,840 argentina 808 00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:17,600 and 809 00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:25,430 big review of what is my mod in a book 810 00:32:29,029 --> 00:32:27,120 what do you think of current theories of 811 00:32:30,549 --> 00:32:29,039 everything are they missing some key 812 00:32:32,389 --> 00:32:30,559 ingredient are they missing that they're 813 00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:32,399 trying to unify gr as it is and they're 814 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:35,600 not unifying mog or is there something 815 00:32:40,549 --> 00:32:38,000 else that you feel like they're lacking 816 00:32:43,110 --> 00:32:40,559 okay well there's a long history to this 817 00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:43,120 we just talked about unified theory 818 00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:46,559 way back harman weil and albert einstein 819 00:32:50,389 --> 00:32:48,080 1918 820 00:32:51,509 --> 00:32:50,399 but um 821 00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:51,519 um 822 00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:53,279 yeah it's it's 823 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:55,760 i don't i think there's loop there's m 824 00:32:59,590 --> 00:32:57,760 theory i'm happy with this 825 00:33:00,870 --> 00:32:59,600 this um 826 00:33:03,830 --> 00:33:00,880 toe 827 00:33:05,110 --> 00:33:03,840 the uh acronym tone yeah because 828 00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:05,120 what does it mean to have a theory of 829 00:33:10,630 --> 00:33:06,559 everything i mean 830 00:33:14,549 --> 00:33:10,640 university 831 00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:14,559 biochemistry chemistry consciousness 832 00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:15,600 i don't know 833 00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:17,519 what does it mean to have a theory every 834 00:33:21,029 --> 00:33:19,360 i don't understand what that means so 835 00:33:24,230 --> 00:33:21,039 you much prefer grand unified theory 836 00:33:26,549 --> 00:33:24,240 than told that's quran unified theory of 837 00:33:28,470 --> 00:33:26,559 grand unified theory 838 00:33:30,389 --> 00:33:28,480 somehow 839 00:33:31,669 --> 00:33:30,399 tied in with 840 00:33:33,110 --> 00:33:31,679 gravity 841 00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:33,120 have you had a chance to look at the 842 00:33:38,870 --> 00:33:35,440 eric weinstein video that i sent you 843 00:33:40,950 --> 00:33:38,880 yeah i didn't understand it 844 00:33:42,549 --> 00:33:40,960 you have to ask him about that what 845 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:42,559 about stephen wolfram have you heard of 846 00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:48,950 i appreciate that they 847 00:33:53,909 --> 00:33:52,080 they both made a lot of money 848 00:33:56,149 --> 00:33:53,919 apparently 849 00:33:57,509 --> 00:33:56,159 eric einstein is 850 00:34:01,590 --> 00:33:57,519 manager of a 851 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:01,600 ph fund net electron fund in new york 852 00:34:09,109 --> 00:34:03,200 so 853 00:34:11,909 --> 00:34:09,119 he has has fun with it 854 00:34:11,919 --> 00:34:14,149 but 855 00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:17,349 these theories have not been successful 856 00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:18,960 quantum gravity let's talk about that 857 00:34:22,869 --> 00:34:20,800 for a minute i thought because i 858 00:34:24,310 --> 00:34:22,879 published papers in corn and crevice 859 00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:24,320 i tried to publish in all of these 860 00:34:27,589 --> 00:34:25,440 things 861 00:34:28,550 --> 00:34:27,599 and so several papers actually over the 862 00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:28,560 years 863 00:34:31,510 --> 00:34:30,079 quite quite well 864 00:34:34,149 --> 00:34:31,520 cited actually 865 00:34:36,389 --> 00:34:34,159 i published one paper in 2000 called 866 00:34:38,389 --> 00:34:36,399 non-commutative content gravity which 867 00:34:40,869 --> 00:34:38,399 has many citations 868 00:34:43,510 --> 00:34:40,879 so you have the coordinates of space 869 00:34:46,389 --> 00:34:43,520 time not commuting by 870 00:34:47,750 --> 00:34:46,399 momentum and precision between quantum 871 00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:47,760 mechanics 872 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,200 non-communicative 873 00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:51,599 non-commutative gravity yeah moffitt 874 00:34:59,589 --> 00:34:55,200 okay the problem with point of gravity 875 00:35:05,910 --> 00:35:02,710 okay let me repeat that there are no 876 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:05,920 quantum gravity data 877 00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:08,720 and you can't do physics without data 878 00:35:12,390 --> 00:35:10,960 that is my main criticism 879 00:35:14,550 --> 00:35:12,400 there may be 880 00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:14,560 i mean i'm not saying there won't be 881 00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:16,640 perhaps of 882 00:35:20,630 --> 00:35:19,440 august 2020 883 00:35:22,710 --> 00:35:20,640 there are no 884 00:35:25,109 --> 00:35:22,720 let's put it this way 885 00:35:27,109 --> 00:35:25,119 the quantum field theory 886 00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:27,119 the feynman graphs 887 00:35:31,990 --> 00:35:30,640 describe what's going on relativistic 888 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:32,000 cornfield theory 889 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:35,119 so you have what's called tree graphs 890 00:35:39,270 --> 00:35:38,400 these are trees okay so you have a line 891 00:35:42,790 --> 00:35:39,280 here 892 00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:42,800 electrons and they 893 00:35:46,069 --> 00:35:44,720 interchange the photon which is a 894 00:35:48,470 --> 00:35:46,079 quickly line 895 00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:48,480 and it's just trees 896 00:35:52,390 --> 00:35:50,720 but that's classical 897 00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:52,400 electromagnetism is classical 898 00:35:58,390 --> 00:35:55,760 electrodynamics tree graphs 899 00:36:00,150 --> 00:35:58,400 so the quantum comes in with what's 900 00:36:03,109 --> 00:36:00,160 called loose 901 00:36:06,069 --> 00:36:03,119 so now you begin to take the lines and 902 00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:06,079 make them into loops close in on loops 903 00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:07,760 okay 904 00:36:13,109 --> 00:36:09,920 and these loops are the quantum 905 00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:13,119 corrections to the classical tree grass 906 00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:14,640 okay 907 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:21,670 you have a 908 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:23,200 neutron 909 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:28,320 and they have mass 910 00:36:32,630 --> 00:36:30,480 so the mass 911 00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:32,640 uh causes the graviton to be 912 00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:34,320 interchanged 913 00:36:40,310 --> 00:36:35,760 between the two 914 00:36:42,390 --> 00:36:40,320 massive electrons or protons whatever 915 00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:42,400 and 916 00:36:47,829 --> 00:36:44,880 that's classical yeah i can then derive 917 00:36:49,510 --> 00:36:47,839 from that tree graph 918 00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:49,520 or graviton and 919 00:36:53,750 --> 00:36:51,760 two protons 920 00:36:57,910 --> 00:36:53,760 i can derive 921 00:37:00,150 --> 00:36:57,920 law of gravity one over square law 922 00:37:03,190 --> 00:37:00,160 dealing with getting general activities 923 00:37:08,069 --> 00:37:04,950 and 924 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:08,079 the loops quantum gravity comes in when 925 00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:10,000 i form these loops 926 00:37:14,870 --> 00:37:11,920 which are proportional to planck's 927 00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:14,880 constant now now place constant comes in 928 00:37:18,790 --> 00:37:16,320 to the game 929 00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:18,800 and these are called self-energy loops 930 00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:21,040 so yeah they look graphs 931 00:37:26,630 --> 00:37:23,760 and there's no experiment 932 00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:26,640 that can determine these loop graphs 933 00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:28,480 none 934 00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:30,160 this is where the quantum gravity comes 935 00:37:33,349 --> 00:37:31,359 in 936 00:37:36,470 --> 00:37:33,359 so 937 00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:36,480 you construct a theory of gravity uh 938 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:38,560 quantum gravity you know there are lots 939 00:37:43,750 --> 00:37:39,359 of 940 00:37:48,870 --> 00:37:46,950 take space time and make it into 941 00:37:51,670 --> 00:37:48,880 little pieces of atomic 942 00:37:52,630 --> 00:37:51,680 pieces lattices 943 00:37:54,310 --> 00:37:52,640 and 944 00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:54,320 you then try to 945 00:37:58,390 --> 00:37:56,560 get general relativity coming up 946 00:38:01,270 --> 00:37:58,400 emerging out of this 947 00:38:03,190 --> 00:38:01,280 spin that work and all that 948 00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:03,200 there's a 949 00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:05,040 string theory 950 00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:07,599 where you have these strings 951 00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:10,560 like uh violin strings 952 00:38:14,230 --> 00:38:12,480 and one of the strings is i spent two 953 00:38:15,589 --> 00:38:14,240 graviton 954 00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:15,599 so i did 955 00:38:18,550 --> 00:38:16,480 these 956 00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:18,560 strings fascinate 957 00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:20,880 and they're strings they're not points 958 00:38:24,230 --> 00:38:22,400 in space-time 959 00:38:25,829 --> 00:38:24,240 so your issue is that they're theorizing 960 00:38:27,670 --> 00:38:25,839 with no constraints because there's not 961 00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:27,680 much data yeah so 962 00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:29,839 strings there has to be formulated in 10 963 00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:32,240 dimensions or 11 otherwise it's not 964 00:38:37,829 --> 00:38:34,480 self-consistent 965 00:38:39,589 --> 00:38:37,839 and uh you have to have supersymmetry 966 00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:39,599 supersonity has to come in otherwise 967 00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:41,839 it's not self-consistent physically 968 00:38:44,470 --> 00:38:43,200 speaking what's the difference between 969 00:38:45,670 --> 00:38:44,480 being self-consistent and being 970 00:38:48,310 --> 00:38:45,680 consistent 971 00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:48,320 well for example you need 972 00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:49,839 more dimensions 973 00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:52,160 and strength theory otherwise the 974 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:54,800 lorentz algebra doesn't close it's not 975 00:39:00,150 --> 00:38:57,119 lawrence invarian 976 00:39:03,109 --> 00:39:00,160 um it's because the string is a a 977 00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:03,119 surface it's not a point 978 00:39:06,790 --> 00:39:04,240 and 979 00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:06,800 so then i worked in string theory i once 980 00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:07,680 gave a 981 00:39:12,069 --> 00:39:10,079 course of summer lectures 982 00:39:14,870 --> 00:39:12,079 at the university of western ontario in 983 00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:14,880 london but for students and i published 984 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:16,000 it actually 985 00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:18,320 and that turned me off straight theory 986 00:39:22,630 --> 00:39:20,160 in fact 987 00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:22,640 the claim is the string theory is finite 988 00:39:28,230 --> 00:39:25,200 to all orders of perturbation theory so 989 00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:28,240 you take my three grams and my loops you 990 00:39:32,710 --> 00:39:30,320 do what's called perturbation theory the 991 00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:32,720 loops have perturbations on the string 992 00:39:36,790 --> 00:39:34,800 on the tree graphs 993 00:39:38,790 --> 00:39:36,800 and the strength theory these loops are 994 00:39:39,910 --> 00:39:38,800 supposed to be finite 995 00:39:43,349 --> 00:39:39,920 whereas in 996 00:39:45,190 --> 00:39:43,359 standard quantum electronics are quite 997 00:39:47,190 --> 00:39:45,200 difficult they 998 00:39:49,589 --> 00:39:47,200 they lead to divergences so you have to 999 00:39:51,750 --> 00:39:49,599 re-normalize the loops 1000 00:39:53,829 --> 00:39:51,760 you know you have to take one 1001 00:39:59,910 --> 00:39:53,839 infinity and subtract it from another to 1002 00:40:05,349 --> 00:40:02,870 so these to gravities by the way gravity 1003 00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:05,359 is not only normalizable 1004 00:40:09,510 --> 00:40:07,760 this was proved by tuft 1005 00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:09,520 and development 1006 00:40:12,390 --> 00:40:10,640 and others 1007 00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:12,400 in the 70s 1008 00:40:17,109 --> 00:40:14,880 and this was a big problem 1009 00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:17,119 and so it doesn't behave like 1010 00:40:19,270 --> 00:40:18,240 other 1011 00:40:20,790 --> 00:40:19,280 standard 1012 00:40:22,550 --> 00:40:20,800 quantum field theories and particle 1013 00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:22,560 physics 1014 00:40:27,750 --> 00:40:24,480 and so it's not running on my 1015 00:40:29,109 --> 00:40:27,760 divergences you can't get rid of them 1016 00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:29,119 so 1017 00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:30,000 um 1018 00:40:32,870 --> 00:40:31,440 this is what loop current gravity's 1019 00:40:34,230 --> 00:40:32,880 supposed to deal with 1020 00:40:36,790 --> 00:40:34,240 and string theory is supposed to be 1021 00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:36,800 finite but i discovered that i wasn't 1022 00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:38,320 convinced that the string theory is 1023 00:40:41,589 --> 00:40:39,760 finite 1024 00:40:43,589 --> 00:40:41,599 i'm not there was never any rigorous 1025 00:40:44,950 --> 00:40:43,599 proof the street theory is finite still 1026 00:40:48,310 --> 00:40:44,960 it's mistake yeah 1027 00:40:51,430 --> 00:40:48,320 and so let's get to the phase three 1028 00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:51,440 what about testing these theories 1029 00:40:55,349 --> 00:40:52,400 well 1030 00:40:57,510 --> 00:40:55,359 strength is was a theory of everything's 1031 00:40:59,349 --> 00:40:57,520 supposedly a toe okay that's where the 1032 00:41:03,510 --> 00:40:59,359 acronym came from 1033 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:06,870 it would written and so forth 1034 00:41:12,230 --> 00:41:09,440 and the 80s claim that this is the 1035 00:41:16,069 --> 00:41:12,240 the theory okay of everything 1036 00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:19,349 so 1037 00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:21,349 well 1038 00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:22,960 no one's ever detected a higher 1039 00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:24,079 dimension 1040 00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:33,680 just space-time clocks versus rights 1041 00:41:36,630 --> 00:41:35,040 and uh 1042 00:41:38,069 --> 00:41:36,640 okay so we've never seen our 1043 00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:38,079 identification 1044 00:41:40,630 --> 00:41:38,880 the 1045 00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:40,640 large hadron collider has looked for 1046 00:41:44,230 --> 00:41:41,520 them 1047 00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:44,240 for years and not find nothing 1048 00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:46,240 no experimental data 1049 00:41:51,670 --> 00:41:49,200 okay supersymmetry we need supersymmetry 1050 00:41:53,670 --> 00:41:51,680 to make the fermion sector our string 1051 00:41:55,190 --> 00:41:53,680 theory consistent 1052 00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:55,200 there are reasons why i'm saying 1053 00:41:58,630 --> 00:41:57,440 consistent but let's go on 1054 00:42:02,230 --> 00:41:58,640 um 1055 00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:02,240 so they've tested 1056 00:42:09,190 --> 00:42:06,000 for super symmetry for years let's see 1057 00:42:10,550 --> 00:42:09,200 we know super 70 doesn't exist 1058 00:42:14,069 --> 00:42:10,560 up to about 1059 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:14,079 three tv three or four tv 1060 00:42:21,030 --> 00:42:18,160 and so it's got to exist below 1061 00:42:23,510 --> 00:42:21,040 one tv to really 1062 00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:23,520 solve a lot of supersymmetric problems 1063 00:42:28,870 --> 00:42:25,680 so that's all gone okay 1064 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:28,880 there's no evidence for supersymmetry 1065 00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:33,359 so the large hadron collider is at 14 tv 1066 00:42:41,030 --> 00:42:38,000 uh well it's been working at 13 14 13 ta 1067 00:42:43,750 --> 00:42:41,040 and they hope to get it up to 14 tv with 1068 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,760 i'm even beyond that 1069 00:42:47,190 --> 00:42:45,599 but you know it's a supersymmetric 1070 00:42:49,910 --> 00:42:47,200 particles keep getting heavier and 1071 00:42:52,309 --> 00:42:49,920 heavier and we can't detect them 1072 00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:52,319 so that's gone so what's left of string 1073 00:42:56,069 --> 00:42:54,000 theory okay 1074 00:42:57,430 --> 00:42:56,079 there's no experimental test of string 1075 00:42:59,589 --> 00:42:57,440 theory 1076 00:43:01,990 --> 00:42:59,599 that you could say well 1077 00:43:05,109 --> 00:43:02,000 this experiment's done 1078 00:43:06,870 --> 00:43:05,119 and it passes this test and no other 1079 00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:06,880 theory 1080 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:07,760 no 1081 00:43:11,349 --> 00:43:09,839 theory without supersymmetry can fit 1082 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:11,359 that data 1083 00:43:14,630 --> 00:43:13,200 doesn't exist 1084 00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:14,640 you modified gravity have you worked on 1085 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:16,720 modifying qft 1086 00:43:19,990 --> 00:43:19,200 okay so another 1087 00:43:21,910 --> 00:43:20,000 i 1088 00:43:22,950 --> 00:43:21,920 understand the model 1089 00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:22,960 what i 1090 00:43:27,349 --> 00:43:25,520 why i formula alternatives it's not 1091 00:43:29,990 --> 00:43:27,359 because i'm trying to be a difficult 1092 00:43:31,589 --> 00:43:30,000 person i'm just curious about 1093 00:43:33,190 --> 00:43:31,599 how 1094 00:43:35,109 --> 00:43:33,200 um 1095 00:43:36,790 --> 00:43:35,119 stable how 1096 00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:36,800 true 1097 00:43:40,950 --> 00:43:38,640 the so-called standard model is how 1098 00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:40,960 robust is it 1099 00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:42,480 so that's why i 1100 00:43:45,430 --> 00:43:44,400 and also i'm 1101 00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:45,440 mentally 1102 00:43:49,829 --> 00:43:47,680 somewhat lazy i i can't just sit and 1103 00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:49,839 read someone's textbook 1104 00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:52,240 so in order to learn a theory 1105 00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:53,040 i 1106 00:43:57,270 --> 00:43:54,960 produce another theory 1107 00:43:59,910 --> 00:43:57,280 and through this i can't produce another 1108 00:44:02,309 --> 00:43:59,920 theory unless i really understand the 1109 00:44:04,950 --> 00:44:02,319 so-called standard model theory and that 1110 00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:04,960 makes me forces me to understand it so 1111 00:44:08,550 --> 00:44:06,480 this is a strange mental way of 1112 00:44:11,109 --> 00:44:08,560 proceeding but that's that's why that's 1113 00:44:12,790 --> 00:44:11,119 why all these alternatives come out 1114 00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:12,800 because i went trying to understand the 1115 00:44:20,630 --> 00:44:16,960 standard model by producing another one 1116 00:44:22,790 --> 00:44:20,640 and uh so the other moral is also strong 1117 00:44:26,550 --> 00:44:22,800 strong man woman so to speak you know i 1118 00:44:27,430 --> 00:44:26,560 can knock it down or make it look true 1119 00:44:29,109 --> 00:44:27,440 so 1120 00:44:31,190 --> 00:44:29,119 the way that i analogize it is that it 1121 00:44:32,309 --> 00:44:31,200 would be if as if someone can't watch 1122 00:44:35,990 --> 00:44:32,319 movies 1123 00:44:37,270 --> 00:44:36,000 like let me make my own movie and then i 1124 00:44:38,790 --> 00:44:37,280 gotta watch this movie and understand 1125 00:44:40,710 --> 00:44:38,800 how this director made it in order for 1126 00:44:42,710 --> 00:44:40,720 me to make mine and that's my actual 1127 00:44:43,829 --> 00:44:42,720 goal is to understand this director yes 1128 00:44:45,109 --> 00:44:43,839 that's right 1129 00:44:45,990 --> 00:44:45,119 exactly 1130 00:44:54,309 --> 00:44:46,000 so 1131 00:44:55,990 --> 00:44:54,319 i got 1132 00:44:57,750 --> 00:44:56,000 interested in the fact of the 1133 00:45:00,390 --> 00:44:57,760 normalization theory 1134 00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:00,400 so i mean i published papers on 1135 00:45:05,510 --> 00:45:02,960 on particle physics from the 1136 00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:05,520 after doing my phd 1137 00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:07,200 so i've been doing this for years i have 1138 00:45:12,230 --> 00:45:09,440 phd students working on just on particle 1139 00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:12,240 physics quark physics and everything 1140 00:45:17,190 --> 00:45:15,040 lots of i had 38 graduate students by 1141 00:45:19,430 --> 00:45:17,200 the way who did phds 1142 00:45:20,230 --> 00:45:19,440 that's quite a lot 1143 00:45:26,870 --> 00:45:20,240 so 1144 00:45:29,990 --> 00:45:26,880 can you develop 1145 00:45:33,670 --> 00:45:30,000 a theory which is ultra out of 1146 00:45:35,109 --> 00:45:33,680 ultraviolet complete uv complete 1147 00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:35,119 in other words 1148 00:45:39,829 --> 00:45:37,200 in standard core and filter these loops 1149 00:45:41,510 --> 00:45:39,839 i was talking about 1150 00:45:44,870 --> 00:45:41,520 they have divergences they're called 1151 00:45:46,710 --> 00:45:44,880 ultra to violet ultraviolet divergences 1152 00:45:48,870 --> 00:45:46,720 and they have to be cancelled using 1153 00:45:50,470 --> 00:45:48,880 renormalization theory 1154 00:45:52,550 --> 00:45:50,480 so you do what's called charge and 1155 00:45:55,109 --> 00:45:52,560 mastery normalization 1156 00:46:01,510 --> 00:45:57,829 iraq never liked renormalization theory 1157 00:46:03,990 --> 00:46:01,520 he thought it was it was unsatisfactory 1158 00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:04,000 it's rather artificial 1159 00:46:07,990 --> 00:46:06,160 you take one set of infinities and it 1160 00:46:09,510 --> 00:46:08,000 subtracts it from another 1161 00:46:11,670 --> 00:46:09,520 you know why do you have these 1162 00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:11,680 infinities in the first place 1163 00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:12,960 the firing 1164 00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:15,280 feynman and that in the 80s he was 1165 00:46:20,069 --> 00:46:17,680 interviewed he said he 1166 00:46:22,230 --> 00:46:20,079 he wasn't satisfied with normalization 1167 00:46:23,829 --> 00:46:22,240 theory even though he was one of the 1168 00:46:26,390 --> 00:46:23,839 inventors 1169 00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:26,400 with his uh nobel prize in coronary 1170 00:46:29,109 --> 00:46:28,000 arteries 1171 00:46:30,230 --> 00:46:29,119 and 1172 00:46:31,990 --> 00:46:30,240 so i 1173 00:46:32,950 --> 00:46:32,000 constructed a different quantum field 1174 00:46:36,309 --> 00:46:32,960 theory 1175 00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:36,319 and i use what's so instead of having 1176 00:46:40,470 --> 00:46:38,640 in in these graphs 1177 00:46:43,270 --> 00:46:40,480 you have 1178 00:46:46,069 --> 00:46:43,280 two graphs two lines 1179 00:46:49,109 --> 00:46:46,079 or three lines meeting at a point 1180 00:46:51,349 --> 00:46:49,119 it's called a vertex okay and that's 1181 00:46:53,349 --> 00:46:51,359 that's where these three particles 1182 00:46:55,750 --> 00:46:53,359 interact at the point 1183 00:46:59,430 --> 00:46:55,760 so in local corner field theory 1184 00:47:04,950 --> 00:47:01,109 and this point is 1185 00:47:07,829 --> 00:47:04,960 effectively described by delta function 1186 00:47:11,349 --> 00:47:07,839 that are invented by dirac by the way 1187 00:47:13,670 --> 00:47:11,359 we didn't like renormalization 1188 00:47:14,550 --> 00:47:13,680 and i as feyman already understood in 1189 00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:14,560 his 1190 00:47:19,510 --> 00:47:18,560 papers from 1947 1950 1191 00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:19,520 uh 1192 00:47:23,829 --> 00:47:21,760 this already there you already have a 1193 00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:23,839 problem as soon as you introduce the 1194 00:47:30,069 --> 00:47:26,880 delta function and the point 1195 00:47:32,230 --> 00:47:30,079 uh for the vitamin graphs 1196 00:47:33,510 --> 00:47:32,240 you get you get subversions 1197 00:47:34,710 --> 00:47:33,520 immediately 1198 00:47:36,470 --> 00:47:34,720 so 1199 00:47:38,550 --> 00:47:36,480 celtic function in mathematics is what's 1200 00:47:40,550 --> 00:47:38,560 called a distribution you know you get 1201 00:47:43,270 --> 00:47:40,560 into distribution theory 1202 00:47:44,950 --> 00:47:43,280 so i thought well 1203 00:47:47,750 --> 00:47:44,960 i'm going to give a different 1204 00:47:49,990 --> 00:47:47,760 distribution at a point so i use what's 1205 00:47:52,550 --> 00:47:50,000 called an entire function 1206 00:47:53,510 --> 00:47:52,560 in time functional mathematics entire 1207 00:47:57,349 --> 00:47:53,520 function 1208 00:47:59,190 --> 00:47:57,359 distribution has an infinite number of 1209 00:48:00,950 --> 00:47:59,200 derivatives 1210 00:48:05,190 --> 00:48:00,960 uh it has 1211 00:48:07,030 --> 00:48:05,200 in the complex momentum squared plane 1212 00:48:08,550 --> 00:48:07,040 it's different there are no waves there 1213 00:48:10,470 --> 00:48:08,560 are no poles 1214 00:48:13,670 --> 00:48:10,480 but there's a sensual singularity of 1215 00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:13,680 infinity that's the only singularity 1216 00:48:19,349 --> 00:48:15,920 so it's an infinite taylor series of 1217 00:48:22,630 --> 00:48:19,359 terrific taylor series of derivatives so 1218 00:48:25,990 --> 00:48:22,640 it's infinite derivative theory okay 1219 00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:26,000 and so i it becomes non-local 1220 00:48:31,109 --> 00:48:28,400 the operators become non-local 1221 00:48:33,910 --> 00:48:31,119 so i have a non-local field theory 1222 00:48:35,829 --> 00:48:33,920 but i stress that i've published this 1223 00:48:39,030 --> 00:48:35,839 that i proved that even though the 1224 00:48:41,349 --> 00:48:39,040 operator fields over here is non-local 1225 00:48:43,270 --> 00:48:41,359 the theory does not violate micro 1226 00:48:50,630 --> 00:48:43,280 causality 1227 00:48:51,430 --> 00:48:50,640 of um 1228 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:51,440 two 1229 00:48:59,990 --> 00:48:56,880 and it's supposed to vanish with space 1230 00:49:02,069 --> 00:49:00,000 like separation outside the light column 1231 00:49:02,790 --> 00:49:02,079 and i proved that this is even though 1232 00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:02,800 the 1233 00:49:07,670 --> 00:49:05,280 field operators are non-local 1234 00:49:10,069 --> 00:49:07,680 they still have these vanishing 1235 00:49:12,710 --> 00:49:10,079 communities outside they like cone so 1236 00:49:14,150 --> 00:49:12,720 the theory is local is local even though 1237 00:49:17,030 --> 00:49:14,160 it's 1238 00:49:19,030 --> 00:49:17,040 called non-local 1239 00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:19,040 the actual result in the end is local 1240 00:49:23,910 --> 00:49:20,960 that's interesting so 1241 00:49:26,630 --> 00:49:23,920 i published a paper in 1989 physical 1242 00:49:28,470 --> 00:49:26,640 review long paper 1243 00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:28,480 doing this 1244 00:49:33,190 --> 00:49:30,240 and uh what's the reception from it 1245 00:49:35,829 --> 00:49:33,200 proved that it was finite to all others 1246 00:49:37,750 --> 00:49:35,839 it was unique true to all orders 1247 00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:37,760 and what's the reception been like okay 1248 00:49:42,829 --> 00:49:39,920 so richard wooden 1249 00:49:44,309 --> 00:49:42,839 uh i got to know him he's professor 1250 00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:44,319 university of 1251 00:49:47,270 --> 00:49:45,599 florida 1252 00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:47,280 at gainesville 1253 00:49:51,910 --> 00:49:50,400 uh this was 1990. so he came up to 1254 00:49:54,470 --> 00:49:51,920 toronto 1255 00:49:55,910 --> 00:49:54,480 to give some lectures i invited him up 1256 00:49:58,549 --> 00:49:55,920 he said what are you doing i said 1257 00:50:00,870 --> 00:49:58,559 non-local field theory what 1258 00:50:02,710 --> 00:50:00,880 he said well that can't work 1259 00:50:05,589 --> 00:50:02,720 i said well 1260 00:50:06,710 --> 00:50:05,599 i'm publishing this paper so 1261 00:50:08,230 --> 00:50:06,720 so uh 1262 00:50:09,910 --> 00:50:08,240 six weeks later 1263 00:50:14,230 --> 00:50:09,920 in comes 1264 00:50:17,670 --> 00:50:16,470 saying i've had epiphany 1265 00:50:19,030 --> 00:50:17,680 epiphany 1266 00:50:21,990 --> 00:50:19,040 i think this is 1267 00:50:24,790 --> 00:50:22,000 really interesting let's collaborate so 1268 00:50:27,109 --> 00:50:24,800 we collaborated with uh myself 1269 00:50:27,829 --> 00:50:27,119 and his student 1270 00:50:30,549 --> 00:50:27,839 and 1271 00:50:32,790 --> 00:50:30,559 my student my postdoc 1272 00:50:36,309 --> 00:50:32,800 and 1273 00:50:38,549 --> 00:50:36,319 review 1274 00:50:40,950 --> 00:50:38,559 where we did coin related dynamics from 1275 00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:40,960 start to finish 1276 00:50:43,910 --> 00:50:42,720 everything 1277 00:50:46,069 --> 00:50:43,920 and 1278 00:50:50,069 --> 00:50:46,079 proved that the theory is unitary to all 1279 00:50:52,829 --> 00:50:50,079 these s matrix its units of orders 1280 00:50:56,710 --> 00:50:52,839 all the perturbation loops of finite 1281 00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:56,720 orders and the tree crafts work and 1282 00:51:03,030 --> 00:50:59,040 so we really want to turn on this so 1283 00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:03,040 that papers had many citations okay 1284 00:51:05,430 --> 00:51:04,319 right 1285 00:51:08,150 --> 00:51:05,440 so 1286 00:51:10,069 --> 00:51:08,160 people are publishing piano 1287 00:51:11,829 --> 00:51:10,079 just the other day with paper came 1288 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:11,839 either coming out 1289 00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:14,400 exciting my papers 1290 00:51:18,790 --> 00:51:16,720 on not look i've had hundreds of 1291 00:51:20,870 --> 00:51:18,800 citations on this 1292 00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:20,880 so um 1293 00:51:26,470 --> 00:51:24,720 i got back into this recently 1294 00:51:27,910 --> 00:51:26,480 because i switched i thought i'd be 1295 00:51:29,829 --> 00:51:27,920 being done enough 1296 00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:29,839 black holes and gravity let's do some 1297 00:51:33,910 --> 00:51:32,240 particle physics for a change 1298 00:51:37,030 --> 00:51:33,920 so i 1299 00:51:39,829 --> 00:51:37,040 looked back into the standard model 1300 00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:39,839 and his particle has been discovered the 1301 00:51:44,390 --> 00:51:42,400 discovery of the higgs particle is this 1302 00:51:45,589 --> 00:51:44,400 the narrative for those in my 1303 00:51:47,030 --> 00:51:45,599 pocket 1304 00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:47,040 cracking the particle court of the 1305 00:51:50,630 --> 00:51:48,800 universe 1306 00:51:53,270 --> 00:51:50,640 oxford university press 1307 00:51:57,109 --> 00:51:55,270 collins harper collins this is that's 1308 00:51:57,829 --> 00:51:57,119 romantic yeah yeah 1309 00:51:59,750 --> 00:51:57,839 so 1310 00:52:02,470 --> 00:51:59,760 um 1311 00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:02,480 so they're the steiner model 1312 00:52:07,589 --> 00:52:04,720 so what you do is you have 1313 00:52:09,670 --> 00:52:07,599 the strong nuclear force is called 1314 00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:09,680 quantum chromodynamics 1315 00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:11,520 and you have quarks 1316 00:52:14,630 --> 00:52:12,960 all the quarks 1317 00:52:16,950 --> 00:52:14,640 and they the 1318 00:52:18,549 --> 00:52:16,960 the photon in this case the quantum is 1319 00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:18,559 the gluon 1320 00:52:22,150 --> 00:52:20,160 and the clone is colored and when you 1321 00:52:22,870 --> 00:52:22,160 say quote photon in quotations you mean 1322 00:52:24,069 --> 00:52:22,880 the 1323 00:52:26,470 --> 00:52:24,079 particle that 1324 00:52:28,069 --> 00:52:26,480 mediates the force it's the medium of 1325 00:52:34,950 --> 00:52:28,079 the force 1326 00:52:36,630 --> 00:52:34,960 and then you have uh 1327 00:52:39,910 --> 00:52:36,640 electromagnetism 1328 00:52:43,270 --> 00:52:39,920 electrodemics qet is called 1329 00:52:45,589 --> 00:52:43,280 and you have uh electro weak 1330 00:52:47,430 --> 00:52:45,599 and these are put together or put 1331 00:52:49,990 --> 00:52:47,440 together by 1332 00:52:53,190 --> 00:52:50,000 uh glashow and 1333 00:52:57,910 --> 00:52:54,710 basically 1334 00:53:01,349 --> 00:52:57,920 as su 3 consists you two cause you one 1335 00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:01,359 issue three is the color nuclear force 1336 00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:04,240 strong force group 1337 00:53:09,829 --> 00:53:06,319 hu2 is the um 1338 00:53:11,589 --> 00:53:09,839 hu2 cross u1 is the electromagnetic weak 1339 00:53:13,750 --> 00:53:11,599 and the u1 is the 1340 00:53:16,549 --> 00:53:13,760 electromagnetism so these are the three 1341 00:53:18,309 --> 00:53:16,559 forces of niche protocol and this it's 1342 00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:18,319 called simple group 1343 00:53:21,670 --> 00:53:19,760 and 1344 00:53:24,230 --> 00:53:21,680 why is it an issue sequence issued to 1345 00:53:25,829 --> 00:53:24,240 review one 1346 00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:25,839 so 1347 00:53:35,510 --> 00:53:32,800 in order to get a renormalizable theory 1348 00:53:38,309 --> 00:53:35,520 we use a delta function for the tree to 1349 00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:38,319 craft firemen graphs at the point local 1350 00:53:46,309 --> 00:53:44,230 you um 1351 00:53:48,870 --> 00:53:46,319 you need a gauge theory the three has to 1352 00:53:51,030 --> 00:53:48,880 be gauging variant 1353 00:53:53,670 --> 00:53:51,040 and corner electronics is gazing variant 1354 00:53:56,470 --> 00:53:53,680 because the photon is massless 1355 00:54:00,390 --> 00:53:56,480 so massive series are cajun grain and 1356 00:54:03,349 --> 00:54:00,400 changing theories are very normalizable 1357 00:54:07,510 --> 00:54:04,790 now the 1358 00:54:09,910 --> 00:54:07,520 quantum chromodynamics hu3 the gluons 1359 00:54:11,030 --> 00:54:09,920 are massless hooray we have a cage 1360 00:54:12,549 --> 00:54:11,040 theory 1361 00:54:15,750 --> 00:54:12,559 all right and it's it's really 1362 00:54:17,829 --> 00:54:15,760 normalizable it's called qcd 1363 00:54:19,349 --> 00:54:17,839 quantum chromodynamics 1364 00:54:21,270 --> 00:54:19,359 what about the 1365 00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:21,280 the weak force so there's always been a 1366 00:54:24,870 --> 00:54:22,480 problem 1367 00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:24,880 so the weak force with these forces are 1368 00:54:29,030 --> 00:54:27,200 described by fields are described by 1369 00:54:30,710 --> 00:54:29,040 yangno's theory 1370 00:54:33,190 --> 00:54:30,720 a young male says what's called name 1371 00:54:35,510 --> 00:54:33,200 mathematics or non-abelian gay theory 1372 00:54:36,710 --> 00:54:35,520 it's gage theory 1373 00:54:38,790 --> 00:54:36,720 the 1374 00:54:40,790 --> 00:54:38,800 particle mediating particles are 1375 00:54:41,990 --> 00:54:40,800 meshless 1376 00:54:44,630 --> 00:54:42,000 okay so 1377 00:54:47,270 --> 00:54:44,640 for a long time 1378 00:54:49,990 --> 00:54:47,280 the the problem was that 1379 00:54:51,349 --> 00:54:50,000 that like the electro weak is not 1380 00:54:53,990 --> 00:54:51,359 matchless 1381 00:54:56,309 --> 00:54:54,000 because the mediating particles are that 1382 00:54:58,549 --> 00:54:56,319 the z of the z 1383 00:55:01,190 --> 00:54:58,559 posing on and the w botons there are 1384 00:55:04,549 --> 00:55:01,200 three of them two w charge and one 1385 00:55:07,190 --> 00:55:04,559 neutral that's it they're not messless 1386 00:55:10,069 --> 00:55:07,200 in fact earth fake masses 1387 00:55:13,109 --> 00:55:10,079 and the fermions are not messless 1388 00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:13,119 the electrons and quartz 1389 00:55:19,670 --> 00:55:14,720 the top cork 1390 00:55:23,109 --> 00:55:21,829 compared to the electron which has a 1391 00:55:24,710 --> 00:55:23,119 mass of a half 1392 00:55:25,670 --> 00:55:24,720 mue 1393 00:55:26,790 --> 00:55:25,680 so 1394 00:55:28,790 --> 00:55:26,800 uh 1395 00:55:31,349 --> 00:55:28,800 okay so 1396 00:55:33,270 --> 00:55:31,359 sg2 creation one on one is not engaging 1397 00:55:36,549 --> 00:55:33,280 very 1398 00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:36,559 so it can't be renormalized 1399 00:55:41,270 --> 00:55:39,440 you can prove this 1400 00:55:44,230 --> 00:55:41,280 what to do 1401 00:55:47,190 --> 00:55:44,240 this took a long time 1402 00:55:50,870 --> 00:55:49,910 the scalar field was invented the higgs 1403 00:55:52,870 --> 00:55:50,880 field 1404 00:55:55,349 --> 00:55:52,880 which had some quantum numbers of the 1405 00:55:55,359 --> 00:55:58,069 so 1406 00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:00,230 what they had to do was to say 1407 00:56:06,470 --> 00:56:02,400 that the electro weak starts with zero 1408 00:56:09,589 --> 00:56:06,480 mass so we put all the masses to zero 1409 00:56:14,390 --> 00:56:09,599 that w the z and the photons 1410 00:56:19,829 --> 00:56:16,789 okay well you know 1411 00:56:22,230 --> 00:56:19,839 173 tv is put to zero okay 1412 00:56:25,190 --> 00:56:22,240 and the 1413 00:56:27,430 --> 00:56:25,200 so yeah w mouse is that match 1414 00:56:28,630 --> 00:56:27,440 was 90 gb or so 1415 00:56:31,349 --> 00:56:28,640 zero 1416 00:56:33,349 --> 00:56:31,359 okay well everything is fine 1417 00:56:35,030 --> 00:56:33,359 so then what they said was that the 1418 00:56:37,829 --> 00:56:35,040 higgs field 1419 00:56:38,630 --> 00:56:37,839 it's a so-called x mechanism 1420 00:56:42,870 --> 00:56:38,640 um 1421 00:56:44,309 --> 00:56:42,880 breaks su 2 cross u1 turned to u1 so you 1422 00:56:45,910 --> 00:56:44,319 break the electro weak turn to the 1423 00:56:49,109 --> 00:56:45,920 electromagnetic 1424 00:56:51,030 --> 00:56:49,119 and during this process 1425 00:56:55,270 --> 00:56:51,040 um 1426 00:57:00,549 --> 00:56:57,670 magic okay 1427 00:57:05,270 --> 00:57:03,349 great now that's usually normalizable so 1428 00:57:06,870 --> 00:57:05,280 this hex field has what's called a 1429 00:57:13,589 --> 00:57:06,880 potential 1430 00:57:16,309 --> 00:57:13,599 and it's equal to 1431 00:57:19,030 --> 00:57:16,319 v of phi equals lambda phi to the fourth 1432 00:57:20,390 --> 00:57:19,040 or five to four fourth power of the 1433 00:57:23,349 --> 00:57:20,400 scalar 1434 00:57:29,430 --> 00:57:25,430 assume that 1435 00:57:31,750 --> 00:57:29,440 what's called higgs 1436 00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:31,760 mechanism it's the 1437 00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:34,000 breaking of the hex symmetry sg2 cross 1438 00:57:36,390 --> 00:57:35,040 u1 1439 00:57:38,309 --> 00:57:36,400 okay 1440 00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:38,319 which is supposed to produce the masses 1441 00:57:41,589 --> 00:57:39,760 you keep drawing this because the 1442 00:57:43,510 --> 00:57:41,599 mexican hat or this is referring to 1443 00:57:45,670 --> 00:57:43,520 something else that's right 1444 00:57:48,549 --> 00:57:45,680 so 1445 00:57:52,630 --> 00:57:50,549 this is all done at the classical level 1446 00:57:56,470 --> 00:57:52,640 the higgs mechanism 1447 00:57:57,670 --> 00:57:56,480 not the quantum level it's classical 1448 00:58:00,069 --> 00:57:57,680 but then there's something called the 1449 00:58:02,549 --> 00:58:00,079 yukawa 1450 00:58:03,589 --> 00:58:02,559 lagrangian they look look you call the 1451 00:58:05,829 --> 00:58:03,599 chryson 1452 00:58:08,870 --> 00:58:05,839 where you have coupling of 1453 00:58:11,510 --> 00:58:08,880 massive particles with the hex field 1454 00:58:13,270 --> 00:58:11,520 you multiply them together 1455 00:58:15,270 --> 00:58:13,280 to interact 1456 00:58:17,589 --> 00:58:15,280 and 1457 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:17,599 for example the electron field 1458 00:58:22,789 --> 00:58:20,160 multiplies the spinner electron direct 1459 00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:22,799 field multiplies the high scalar field 1460 00:58:26,870 --> 00:58:25,760 stuff and they have a coupling constant 1461 00:58:31,270 --> 00:58:26,880 g 1462 00:58:34,470 --> 00:58:31,280 so 1463 00:58:35,829 --> 00:58:34,480 where did the masses come from 1464 00:58:37,670 --> 00:58:35,839 well 1465 00:58:40,309 --> 00:58:37,680 it turns out that the 1466 00:58:43,030 --> 00:58:40,319 cemetery breaking can sort of produce 1467 00:58:44,309 --> 00:58:43,040 the tubby in the z-mass you can get a 1468 00:58:47,190 --> 00:58:44,319 prediction 1469 00:58:50,309 --> 00:58:47,200 for the w in the z-mass which looks 1470 00:58:52,870 --> 00:58:50,319 looks reasonably good 1471 00:58:54,150 --> 00:58:52,880 but the fermion masses all the quarks 1472 00:59:10,390 --> 00:58:54,160 and 1473 00:59:13,030 --> 00:59:10,400 so you endeavor 1474 00:59:15,910 --> 00:59:13,040 calculate the matters 1475 00:59:17,430 --> 00:59:15,920 it's put in by hand as a free parameter 1476 00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:17,440 that's why the standard world has 1477 00:59:21,670 --> 00:59:18,720 something like 1478 00:59:25,109 --> 00:59:21,680 21 or 26 free parameters depending on 1479 00:59:26,309 --> 00:59:25,119 how you count it's lots of parameters 1480 00:59:28,069 --> 00:59:26,319 so 1481 00:59:30,710 --> 00:59:28,079 i looked at this and i thought okay well 1482 00:59:32,470 --> 00:59:30,720 let me do my finite quantum field theory 1483 00:59:35,190 --> 00:59:32,480 as i call it 1484 00:59:36,470 --> 00:59:35,200 and it works whether you have masses or 1485 00:59:40,230 --> 00:59:36,480 not 1486 00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:40,240 renormalization but it's a finite 1487 00:59:44,630 --> 00:59:42,640 granular there are no infinities 1488 00:59:46,549 --> 00:59:44,640 so i don't have to worry about putting 1489 00:59:49,270 --> 00:59:46,559 the master to zero 1490 00:59:51,349 --> 00:59:49,280 so i rewrote the standard model 1491 00:59:54,309 --> 00:59:51,359 assuming that the masses are not zero 1492 00:59:57,030 --> 00:59:54,319 that the symmetry is what it is 1493 00:59:58,630 --> 00:59:57,040 uh s u three equals s u two cross u one 1494 01:00:00,390 --> 00:59:58,640 it's not broken 1495 01:00:01,990 --> 01:00:00,400 actually two cause you want it's not 1496 01:00:04,549 --> 01:00:02,000 broken and when you came up with this 1497 01:00:06,470 --> 01:00:04,559 this was before the higgs was discovered 1498 01:00:09,510 --> 01:00:06,480 yeah well i did that i was doing this 1499 01:00:12,390 --> 01:00:09,520 before the higgs but then when 1500 01:00:16,950 --> 01:00:12,400 the higgs was found i had to put this in 1501 01:00:19,349 --> 01:00:16,960 as a particle field which i did 1502 01:00:20,230 --> 01:00:19,359 and by the way you need the hex field 1503 01:00:23,190 --> 01:00:20,240 still 1504 01:00:24,630 --> 01:00:23,200 i don't need it for renormalization 1505 01:00:29,990 --> 01:00:24,640 and 1506 01:00:31,910 --> 01:00:30,000 masses okay but you do need it because 1507 01:00:33,190 --> 01:00:31,920 without the higgs 1508 01:00:36,710 --> 01:00:33,200 exchange 1509 01:00:40,630 --> 01:00:37,910 corks 1510 01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:40,640 you violate what's called unitarity at a 1511 01:00:45,430 --> 01:00:42,480 participation level 1512 01:00:50,950 --> 01:00:48,390 600 tv this is bad 1513 01:00:54,069 --> 01:00:50,960 so then when you put in the higgs field 1514 01:00:56,390 --> 01:00:54,079 and to redo the calculation it cancels 1515 01:00:58,069 --> 01:00:56,400 all the unitary violations 1516 01:01:00,309 --> 01:00:58,079 so this means you get unity you have to 1517 01:01:01,990 --> 01:01:00,319 have unit turret probability has to be 1518 01:01:04,710 --> 01:01:02,000 conserved 1519 01:01:06,309 --> 01:01:04,720 so you still need the x okay so i redid 1520 01:01:08,870 --> 01:01:06,319 the whole thing 1521 01:01:11,349 --> 01:01:08,880 and made everything finite work did all 1522 01:01:13,589 --> 01:01:11,359 the calculations prove that i get all 1523 01:01:15,670 --> 01:01:13,599 the low energy experiments of the hatred 1524 01:01:17,430 --> 01:01:15,680 collider 1525 01:01:18,309 --> 01:01:17,440 and um 1526 01:01:21,670 --> 01:01:18,319 and 1527 01:01:27,589 --> 01:01:24,630 how do i calculate the masses 1528 01:01:29,510 --> 01:01:27,599 no one's ever been able to do it 1529 01:01:31,990 --> 01:01:29,520 the feminine masses 1530 01:01:34,150 --> 01:01:32,000 so i work on this occasionally and i 1531 01:01:36,069 --> 01:01:34,160 have a way of doing it so stephen 1532 01:01:38,549 --> 01:01:36,079 weinberg who 1533 01:01:40,630 --> 01:01:38,559 won a nobel price 1534 01:01:41,829 --> 01:01:40,640 for 1535 01:01:43,670 --> 01:01:41,839 the uh 1536 01:01:45,030 --> 01:01:43,680 initiating this idea of the higgs 1537 01:01:46,710 --> 01:01:45,040 mechanism 1538 01:01:48,950 --> 01:01:46,720 and putting all masses to zero for 1539 01:01:51,510 --> 01:01:48,960 leptons it's called the lepton model 1540 01:01:56,309 --> 01:01:54,630 he has recently published a paper 1541 01:01:57,829 --> 01:01:56,319 trying to solve the problem of the 1542 01:01:58,870 --> 01:01:57,839 masses 1543 01:02:01,270 --> 01:01:58,880 and 1544 01:02:05,190 --> 01:02:01,280 stephen i was very clever by the way 1545 01:02:06,950 --> 01:02:05,200 still why yes he's about my age 1546 01:02:07,990 --> 01:02:06,960 and uh 1547 01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:08,000 he's 1548 01:02:16,390 --> 01:02:14,000 so but he failed to do it 1549 01:02:19,030 --> 01:02:16,400 by his own admission yeah was he using 1550 01:02:21,270 --> 01:02:19,040 your modified quantum field theory no he 1551 01:02:22,069 --> 01:02:21,280 just doing the standard 1552 01:02:24,549 --> 01:02:22,079 so 1553 01:02:26,710 --> 01:02:24,559 another criticism is 1554 01:02:28,470 --> 01:02:26,720 there's no experimental 1555 01:02:31,510 --> 01:02:28,480 data that shows 1556 01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:31,520 that this pig's potential is lambda 1557 01:02:37,109 --> 01:02:33,760 which the company constant lambda times 1558 01:02:39,829 --> 01:02:37,119 phi to the fourth because in order to 1559 01:02:40,789 --> 01:02:39,839 to do the experimental verification you 1560 01:02:41,990 --> 01:02:40,799 need 1561 01:02:44,710 --> 01:02:42,000 a hex 1562 01:02:46,150 --> 01:02:44,720 decaying into two other hexes 1563 01:02:47,270 --> 01:02:46,160 or three 1564 01:02:49,510 --> 01:02:47,280 and this is 1565 01:02:52,630 --> 01:02:49,520 the amplitude for this 1566 01:02:54,230 --> 01:02:52,640 decay product is it tiniest 1567 01:02:55,589 --> 01:02:54,240 so there's no evidence for this 1568 01:02:57,589 --> 01:02:55,599 potential 1569 01:02:59,349 --> 01:02:57,599 that's the standard tail that i've heard 1570 01:03:01,190 --> 01:02:59,359 and that everyone has heard yeah it is 1571 01:03:03,109 --> 01:03:01,200 the i statement is 1572 01:03:04,390 --> 01:03:03,119 the clocks and the electrons move 1573 01:03:06,630 --> 01:03:04,400 through this 1574 01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:06,640 hex field vacuum 1575 01:03:11,829 --> 01:03:09,680 molasses and they're moving very slowly 1576 01:03:14,309 --> 01:03:11,839 and the heavier particles move and the 1577 01:03:17,990 --> 01:03:14,319 glass is slower than the faster ones 1578 01:03:22,630 --> 01:03:20,309 okay i mean 1579 01:03:24,470 --> 01:03:22,640 it's a hypothesis ethereum i don't 1580 01:03:26,390 --> 01:03:24,480 necessarily believe in it imagine this 1581 01:03:27,910 --> 01:03:26,400 case this is a completely hypothetical 1582 01:03:29,829 --> 01:03:27,920 but imagine we see two electrons and 1583 01:03:31,270 --> 01:03:29,839 they repel now we see them but we see 1584 01:03:32,789 --> 01:03:31,280 them without photon we didn't discover 1585 01:03:35,270 --> 01:03:32,799 the photon then later we discover the 1586 01:03:36,789 --> 01:03:35,280 photon and then we say oh okay that 1587 01:03:38,390 --> 01:03:36,799 makes sense because we thought that 1588 01:03:39,829 --> 01:03:38,400 there must be a mediator an exchange 1589 01:03:41,910 --> 01:03:39,839 particle between these two but we've 1590 01:03:44,230 --> 01:03:41,920 never seen them exchange so it would be 1591 01:03:45,589 --> 01:03:44,240 like that we see the photon we think 1592 01:03:47,430 --> 01:03:45,599 they're supposed to be a particle and 1593 01:03:49,349 --> 01:03:47,440 that's why we predicted the photon but 1594 01:03:51,589 --> 01:03:49,359 you're saying we just found the photon 1595 01:03:53,109 --> 01:03:51,599 in this case the higgs but we don't see 1596 01:03:55,510 --> 01:03:53,119 its mechanism in the way that you're 1597 01:03:57,270 --> 01:03:55,520 saying the mechanism exists we just see 1598 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:57,280 the hicks and the hicks can be explained 1599 01:04:01,029 --> 01:03:58,799 alternatively 1600 01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:01,039 via your theory at least right 1601 01:04:04,549 --> 01:04:02,880 the point is that 1602 01:04:06,870 --> 01:04:04,559 all experiments 1603 01:04:08,630 --> 01:04:06,880 with hex particles 1604 01:04:10,549 --> 01:04:08,640 that all you ever 1605 01:04:12,870 --> 01:04:10,559 do experimentally is to look at the 1606 01:04:16,870 --> 01:04:12,880 what's called the decay products 1607 01:04:22,069 --> 01:04:19,510 short-lived they only live 1608 01:04:23,349 --> 01:04:22,079 10 to the power minus 20 10 to the minus 1609 01:04:26,470 --> 01:04:23,359 22 1610 01:04:28,950 --> 01:04:26,480 10 to the minus 23 seconds 1611 01:04:31,349 --> 01:04:28,960 so you can't scatter the higgs off one 1612 01:04:33,990 --> 01:04:31,359 another like you scatter off electrons 1613 01:04:36,630 --> 01:04:34,000 electrons are stable particles 1614 01:04:39,109 --> 01:04:36,640 and protons are stable you can scatter 1615 01:04:41,670 --> 01:04:39,119 them but these things 1616 01:04:44,549 --> 01:04:41,680 so what you do is discuss it you 1617 01:04:46,950 --> 01:04:44,559 you do experiments on the decay products 1618 01:04:47,990 --> 01:04:46,960 how does this heavy particle decay into 1619 01:04:51,990 --> 01:04:48,000 the 1620 01:04:57,990 --> 01:04:52,000 extract 1621 01:05:01,349 --> 01:04:59,510 it's an arrow time 1622 01:05:02,630 --> 01:05:01,359 i published papers 1623 01:05:04,710 --> 01:05:02,640 um 1624 01:05:06,230 --> 01:05:04,720 where i did way back after some years 1625 01:05:09,990 --> 01:05:06,240 ago 1626 01:05:11,670 --> 01:05:10,000 mexican hat and but now we're 1627 01:05:13,510 --> 01:05:11,680 violating 1628 01:05:14,789 --> 01:05:13,520 special relative lawrence invariants 1629 01:05:17,349 --> 01:05:14,799 okay 1630 01:05:20,829 --> 01:05:17,359 and so we highlight so 1631 01:05:22,390 --> 01:05:20,839 three column one down to it so 1632 01:05:25,270 --> 01:05:22,400 two 1633 01:05:29,750 --> 01:05:27,750 so the mexican hat as you remember you 1634 01:05:31,270 --> 01:05:29,760 go around the rim and you have different 1635 01:05:32,630 --> 01:05:31,280 arrows 1636 01:05:34,950 --> 01:05:32,640 so i choose 1637 01:05:40,069 --> 01:05:34,960 to break the arrow 1638 01:05:44,470 --> 01:05:41,670 and so 1639 01:05:47,029 --> 01:05:44,480 i start with a very low entropy 1640 01:05:49,349 --> 01:05:47,039 and the age of p increases as 1641 01:05:50,470 --> 01:05:49,359 the universe expands 1642 01:05:53,430 --> 01:05:50,480 that's the 1643 01:05:56,150 --> 01:05:53,440 explanation for the error of time 1644 01:05:58,390 --> 01:05:56,160 to avoid through violation of lawrencium 1645 01:06:01,510 --> 01:05:58,400 variance but this happens 1646 01:06:02,549 --> 01:06:01,520 fractions of seconds after the big bang 1647 01:06:06,470 --> 01:06:02,559 okay 1648 01:06:09,029 --> 01:06:06,480 the violation or inconvenience 1649 01:06:12,069 --> 01:06:09,039 in experiment experiments today is 1650 01:06:14,789 --> 01:06:12,079 it's forget it there is no for me the 1651 01:06:17,349 --> 01:06:14,799 violation occurs seconds or fractions 1652 01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:17,359 practice the seconds after the big bang 1653 01:06:21,910 --> 01:06:18,960 and then it immediate through a phase 1654 01:06:25,349 --> 01:06:21,920 transition goes directly to the speed of 1655 01:06:27,510 --> 01:06:25,359 light that we know measure today 1656 01:06:28,950 --> 01:06:27,520 that's important 1657 01:06:31,109 --> 01:06:28,960 and whereas in 1658 01:06:33,589 --> 01:06:31,119 in the if your violin or instant 1659 01:06:34,870 --> 01:06:33,599 variants to where pakistan did with 1660 01:06:37,510 --> 01:06:34,880 milgram's 1661 01:06:39,270 --> 01:06:37,520 external relativistic extensions you get 1662 01:06:40,789 --> 01:06:39,280 into trouble 1663 01:06:46,309 --> 01:06:40,799 and uh 1664 01:06:51,910 --> 01:06:49,349 i've met firemen here if i hadn't dinner 1665 01:06:53,589 --> 01:06:51,920 with him in hungary once at a conference 1666 01:06:54,950 --> 01:06:53,599 he and his very interesting story was 1667 01:06:55,829 --> 01:06:54,960 great 1668 01:06:57,670 --> 01:06:55,839 um 1669 01:06:59,190 --> 01:06:57,680 i went to one of his lectures at cal 1670 01:07:01,589 --> 01:06:59,200 tech 1671 01:07:05,029 --> 01:07:01,599 and he was he gave lectures in quantum 1672 01:07:06,470 --> 01:07:05,039 field theory and i sat in the audience 1673 01:07:08,710 --> 01:07:06,480 and um 1674 01:07:11,109 --> 01:07:08,720 he was lecturing away and i put my hand 1675 01:07:13,510 --> 01:07:11,119 up to scratch my head and he looked at 1676 01:07:15,829 --> 01:07:13,520 me yes do you have a question 1677 01:07:17,750 --> 01:07:15,839 i said i'm just crashing my head he said 1678 01:07:19,109 --> 01:07:17,760 well that's legitimate you're allowed to 1679 01:07:23,190 --> 01:07:19,119 do that 1680 01:07:28,470 --> 01:07:25,670 i also met young man of course i knew 1681 01:07:29,510 --> 01:07:28,480 german quite well murray gilman it's in 1682 01:07:30,549 --> 01:07:29,520 my 1683 01:07:31,750 --> 01:07:30,559 this 1684 01:07:34,069 --> 01:07:31,760 so 1685 01:07:36,069 --> 01:07:34,079 funny stories anecdotes 1686 01:07:38,309 --> 01:07:36,079 by the way i wouldn't interject the 1687 01:07:41,589 --> 01:07:38,319 following 1688 01:07:42,390 --> 01:07:41,599 so when you modify gravity today 1689 01:07:44,549 --> 01:07:42,400 okay 1690 01:07:46,069 --> 01:07:44,559 and you think you can do without dark 1691 01:07:48,710 --> 01:07:46,079 matter 1692 01:07:52,069 --> 01:07:48,720 or dark energy or explain dark energy 1693 01:07:55,510 --> 01:07:52,079 that's another dark issue 1694 01:07:58,150 --> 01:07:55,520 you have to fit all the data 1695 01:08:01,910 --> 01:07:58,160 you can't cherry pick the data 1696 01:08:04,630 --> 01:08:01,920 so mon does okay for galaxies it doesn't 1697 01:08:06,549 --> 01:08:04,640 do well for clusters this is well known 1698 01:08:09,589 --> 01:08:06,559 okay 1699 01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:09,599 so i have to fit mark has to fit 1700 01:08:13,910 --> 01:08:11,920 galaxy data it has to fit what's called 1701 01:08:17,590 --> 01:08:13,920 the lensing data i just published a 1702 01:08:20,309 --> 01:08:17,600 paper on that another one so 1703 01:08:23,269 --> 01:08:20,319 it has to fit all the cosmological data 1704 01:08:26,070 --> 01:08:23,279 it's it's a huge amount of data 1705 01:08:28,229 --> 01:08:26,080 so life has become very difficult for 1706 01:08:30,070 --> 01:08:28,239 those people who think they can modify 1707 01:08:32,550 --> 01:08:30,080 gravity okay 1708 01:08:34,950 --> 01:08:32,560 is you have to fit all the data 1709 01:08:37,269 --> 01:08:34,960 otherwise someone comes along and says 1710 01:08:40,070 --> 01:08:37,279 hey okay you fit the galaxies or you 1711 01:08:42,309 --> 01:08:40,080 fitted that but what about the cosmology 1712 01:08:43,669 --> 01:08:42,319 what about the do you fit the acoustical 1713 01:08:46,470 --> 01:08:43,679 power spectrum 1714 01:08:49,510 --> 01:08:46,480 at this the cosmic microwave background 1715 01:08:51,030 --> 01:08:49,520 do you fit the amount of power spectrum 1716 01:08:52,550 --> 01:08:51,040 that's the uh 1717 01:08:54,070 --> 01:08:52,560 spectrum for 1718 01:08:58,229 --> 01:08:54,080 statistical 1719 01:09:02,789 --> 01:09:00,470 and to fit the structure growth of 1720 01:09:03,669 --> 01:09:02,799 cosmology 1721 01:09:06,630 --> 01:09:03,679 so 1722 01:09:07,910 --> 01:09:06,640 all of this has to be fitted 1723 01:09:10,070 --> 01:09:07,920 so i 1724 01:09:12,630 --> 01:09:10,080 had to learn all of this 1725 01:09:15,189 --> 01:09:12,640 you have to do all the astronomy 1726 01:09:17,269 --> 01:09:15,199 and you have to do all the cosmology 1727 01:09:18,950 --> 01:09:17,279 solar system there everything has to be 1728 01:09:21,910 --> 01:09:18,960 fitted 1729 01:09:23,990 --> 01:09:21,920 and so far monkeys 1730 01:09:25,590 --> 01:09:24,000 is successful 1731 01:09:28,070 --> 01:09:25,600 there are issues 1732 01:09:30,550 --> 01:09:28,080 to do with what's called dwarf galaxies 1733 01:09:31,669 --> 01:09:30,560 by the way it was just a big review put 1734 01:09:32,470 --> 01:09:31,679 out 1735 01:09:35,110 --> 01:09:32,480 by 1736 01:09:36,309 --> 01:09:35,120 ivante martino 1737 01:09:39,349 --> 01:09:36,319 uh 1738 01:09:43,189 --> 01:09:39,359 published in a journal 1739 01:09:46,550 --> 01:09:43,199 just recently where he reviews my monk 1740 01:09:47,749 --> 01:09:46,560 he reviews mind and mog 1741 01:09:50,950 --> 01:09:47,759 as the two 1742 01:09:55,910 --> 01:09:53,910 gravity without dark matter okay 1743 01:09:58,149 --> 01:09:55,920 and uh 1744 01:09:59,350 --> 01:09:58,159 the galaxy fits are very good and so why 1745 01:10:02,709 --> 01:09:59,360 they're like 1746 01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:02,719 nice to fit some data cosmology 1747 01:10:05,910 --> 01:10:04,560 but uh there's something called dwarf 1748 01:10:14,229 --> 01:10:05,920 galaxies 1749 01:10:19,669 --> 01:10:16,310 they have what's called very large mesh 1750 01:10:20,790 --> 01:10:19,679 to light ratios and over hell 1751 01:10:22,070 --> 01:10:20,800 which are 1752 01:10:24,149 --> 01:10:22,080 huge 1753 01:10:25,990 --> 01:10:24,159 so the idea is that the dark matter 1754 01:10:27,430 --> 01:10:26,000 dominates them 1755 01:10:29,189 --> 01:10:27,440 but um 1756 01:10:31,669 --> 01:10:29,199 the problem is that they're probably not 1757 01:10:33,110 --> 01:10:31,679 realized some of these 12 calories that 1758 01:10:35,990 --> 01:10:33,120 are not stable 1759 01:10:38,070 --> 01:10:36,000 tidal deformation 1760 01:10:39,590 --> 01:10:38,080 destroys the stability 1761 01:10:41,750 --> 01:10:39,600 realization 1762 01:10:42,470 --> 01:10:41,760 and so you can't use them as data so i 1763 01:10:43,750 --> 01:10:42,480 mean 1764 01:10:57,990 --> 01:10:43,760 so 1765 01:11:01,750 --> 01:10:59,750 what are you working on these days uh 1766 01:11:04,709 --> 01:11:01,760 well let's see 1767 01:11:06,550 --> 01:11:04,719 i've been working on my modified gravity 1768 01:11:08,790 --> 01:11:06,560 which i call 1769 01:11:11,110 --> 01:11:08,800 my acronym is mug 1770 01:11:14,870 --> 01:11:11,120 which stands for modified gravity but 1771 01:11:16,790 --> 01:11:14,880 privately modified morphic gravity but 1772 01:11:19,270 --> 01:11:16,800 nothing gravity but that's not public 1773 01:11:22,709 --> 01:11:19,280 that's private 1774 01:11:24,870 --> 01:11:22,719 um yes and um 1775 01:11:29,030 --> 01:11:24,880 the various issues 1776 01:11:33,270 --> 01:11:30,630 generalizations of 1777 01:11:36,550 --> 01:11:33,280 einstein's gravity theory 1778 01:11:39,750 --> 01:11:36,560 already at the phd level 1779 01:11:41,990 --> 01:11:39,760 in cambridge attorney college cambridge 1780 01:11:44,229 --> 01:11:42,000 and uh over the years but i've worked on 1781 01:11:45,270 --> 01:11:44,239 many other subjects 1782 01:11:47,110 --> 01:11:45,280 um 1783 01:11:50,149 --> 01:11:47,120 yes so 1784 01:11:53,110 --> 01:11:50,159 uh it's developing this theory 1785 01:11:54,950 --> 01:11:53,120 i also work on quantum field theory and 1786 01:11:57,350 --> 01:11:54,960 particle physics 1787 01:12:01,350 --> 01:11:57,360 and cosmology 1788 01:12:02,630 --> 01:12:01,360 and those are my three main areas 1789 01:12:04,390 --> 01:12:02,640 why don't you tell the audience a bit 1790 01:12:08,229 --> 01:12:04,400 about your books 1791 01:12:10,950 --> 01:12:08,239 yeah so this is my latest book 1792 01:12:13,669 --> 01:12:10,960 the shadow of the black hole 1793 01:12:15,350 --> 01:12:13,679 the oxford university press publication 1794 01:12:17,590 --> 01:12:15,360 just came out 1795 01:12:20,310 --> 01:12:17,600 uh it's a history of uh 1796 01:12:21,669 --> 01:12:20,320 the gravitational waves their detection 1797 01:12:23,669 --> 01:12:21,679 by ligo 1798 01:12:25,910 --> 01:12:23,679 observatory 1799 01:12:28,709 --> 01:12:25,920 and uh 1800 01:12:29,830 --> 01:12:28,719 the history of black holes 1801 01:12:33,430 --> 01:12:29,840 and uh 1802 01:12:35,910 --> 01:12:33,440 so the book has a narrative 1803 01:12:38,070 --> 01:12:35,920 description of ligo detection of 1804 01:12:40,630 --> 01:12:38,080 gravitational waves 1805 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:44,229 also the uh 1806 01:12:47,430 --> 01:12:46,149 observation of the first image of a 1807 01:12:50,229 --> 01:12:47,440 black hole 1808 01:12:52,550 --> 01:12:50,239 and the galaxy aim emit 1809 01:12:54,550 --> 01:12:52,560 m31 1810 01:12:56,870 --> 01:12:54,560 and 1811 01:12:59,910 --> 01:12:56,880 so that's the book 1812 01:13:01,110 --> 01:12:59,920 um i also 1813 01:13:02,630 --> 01:13:01,120 published a 1814 01:13:04,950 --> 01:13:02,640 memoir 1815 01:13:06,630 --> 01:13:04,960 einstein wrote back 1816 01:13:07,910 --> 01:13:06,640 some musical 1817 01:13:09,750 --> 01:13:07,920 and uh 1818 01:13:12,229 --> 01:13:09,760 this is my first book 1819 01:13:15,110 --> 01:13:12,239 reinventing gravity which has 1820 01:13:18,709 --> 01:13:15,120 a history of privacy 1821 01:13:23,350 --> 01:13:21,110 uh prehistoric times 1822 01:13:26,149 --> 01:13:23,360 and through the greeks and uh the 1823 01:13:27,510 --> 01:13:26,159 history of how gravity developed through 1824 01:13:29,990 --> 01:13:27,520 isaac newton 1825 01:13:33,189 --> 01:13:30,000 and albert einstein 1826 01:13:35,110 --> 01:13:33,199 and uh 1827 01:13:37,750 --> 01:13:35,120 and then uh 1828 01:13:39,350 --> 01:13:37,760 this is the book before 1829 01:13:41,750 --> 01:13:39,360 my latest 1830 01:13:44,830 --> 01:13:41,760 uh cracking the particle cord of the 1831 01:13:47,510 --> 01:13:44,840 universe is the history of uh particle 1832 01:13:50,630 --> 01:13:47,520 physics and uh 1833 01:13:52,790 --> 01:13:50,640 the uh ramifications of quantum field 1834 01:13:55,350 --> 01:13:52,800 theory and that development 1835 01:13:57,270 --> 01:13:55,360 and now had the description of the large 1836 01:14:05,830 --> 01:13:57,280 hatred collider 1837 01:14:09,830 --> 01:14:06,790 when you were mentioning the 1838 01:14:11,430 --> 01:14:09,840 schwarzschild radius and the equations 1839 01:14:13,350 --> 01:14:11,440 you said that it's dependent on the 1840 01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:13,360 choice of coordinates the singularity 1841 01:14:16,709 --> 01:14:14,960 can you explain to the audience because 1842 01:14:18,310 --> 01:14:16,719 to them they might think well what do 1843 01:14:19,590 --> 01:14:18,320 you mean dependent on a choice of 1844 01:14:21,350 --> 01:14:19,600 coordinate system first of all what the 1845 01:14:23,270 --> 01:14:21,360 heck is a coordinate system and why does 1846 01:14:25,350 --> 01:14:23,280 the singularity depend on that 1847 01:14:27,669 --> 01:14:25,360 yes well the original solution the 1848 01:14:30,709 --> 01:14:27,679 slideshow solution 1849 01:14:33,110 --> 01:14:30,719 published by schwarzschild 1850 01:14:34,390 --> 01:14:33,120 who was astronomer 1851 01:14:36,950 --> 01:14:34,400 and uh 1852 01:14:38,870 --> 01:14:36,960 by the way he did the work 1853 01:14:40,870 --> 01:14:38,880 in the trenches of the first world war 1854 01:14:42,709 --> 01:14:40,880 he was in the military 1855 01:14:44,310 --> 01:14:42,719 german military 1856 01:14:46,390 --> 01:14:44,320 in the artillery 1857 01:14:47,990 --> 01:14:46,400 and einstein thought that his equation 1858 01:14:50,310 --> 01:14:48,000 was so complex that 1859 01:14:51,990 --> 01:14:50,320 finding an exact solution would be near 1860 01:14:53,910 --> 01:14:52,000 impossible and then one year later 1861 01:14:54,830 --> 01:14:53,920 schwarzschild while in the trenches came 1862 01:14:57,910 --> 01:14:54,840 up with the 1863 01:15:01,750 --> 01:14:57,920 solution went back to berlin and wrote 1864 01:15:04,870 --> 01:15:01,760 it up there but then he developed a new 1865 01:15:06,470 --> 01:15:04,880 autoimmune disease and immune disease 1866 01:15:09,430 --> 01:15:06,480 which uh 1867 01:15:12,790 --> 01:15:09,440 killed him he died 1868 01:15:13,669 --> 01:15:12,800 not soon after publishing the paper 1869 01:15:20,149 --> 01:15:13,679 so 1870 01:15:22,310 --> 01:15:20,159 uh 1871 01:15:25,270 --> 01:15:22,320 that one uses what's called schweichel 1872 01:15:26,630 --> 01:15:25,280 coordinates chord is x y said three 1873 01:15:29,510 --> 01:15:26,640 dimensional 1874 01:15:33,189 --> 01:15:29,520 and time is the fourth dimension 1875 01:15:34,070 --> 01:15:33,199 so that produces space time 1876 01:15:37,990 --> 01:15:34,080 and 1877 01:15:39,430 --> 01:15:38,000 you can choose other coordinates 1878 01:15:41,110 --> 01:15:39,440 example 1879 01:15:43,110 --> 01:15:41,120 if you 1880 01:15:46,070 --> 01:15:43,120 do a 1881 01:15:48,390 --> 01:15:46,080 a picture of the the earth the planet 1882 01:15:53,430 --> 01:15:48,400 you can use polar coordinates or other 1883 01:15:56,229 --> 01:15:53,440 kinds of coordinates to determine the uh 1884 01:15:57,910 --> 01:15:56,239 the structure of the of of earth 1885 01:16:01,510 --> 01:15:57,920 so if you use polar corners you get a 1886 01:16:03,110 --> 01:16:01,520 singularity on the north and south pole 1887 01:16:04,709 --> 01:16:03,120 and similarly in the schwarzschild 1888 01:16:08,229 --> 01:16:04,719 solution 1889 01:16:10,470 --> 01:16:08,239 the the horizon the schweitzer radius 1890 01:16:12,950 --> 01:16:10,480 is singular in schwarzschild corners but 1891 01:16:15,350 --> 01:16:12,960 you choose other coordinates 1892 01:16:17,270 --> 01:16:15,360 uh for example 1893 01:16:20,310 --> 01:16:17,280 it was the 1894 01:16:21,510 --> 01:16:20,320 mathematicians from princeton published 1895 01:16:22,790 --> 01:16:21,520 a paper 1896 01:16:25,510 --> 01:16:22,800 where they 1897 01:16:28,149 --> 01:16:25,520 did what's called a little continuation 1898 01:16:30,310 --> 01:16:28,159 of the social corners 1899 01:16:32,390 --> 01:16:30,320 space to 1900 01:16:35,030 --> 01:16:32,400 a much bigger space 1901 01:16:37,669 --> 01:16:35,040 in which the uh 1902 01:16:40,310 --> 01:16:37,679 the actual membrane of the horizon was 1903 01:16:43,430 --> 01:16:40,320 not singular so 1904 01:16:45,669 --> 01:16:43,440 so this was a problem because uh 1905 01:16:47,110 --> 01:16:45,679 einstein did wasn't aware of this issue 1906 01:16:49,830 --> 01:16:47,120 of courtness 1907 01:16:54,709 --> 01:16:50,790 he 1908 01:16:57,110 --> 01:16:54,719 because it was singular einstein didn't 1909 01:16:59,189 --> 01:16:57,120 like singularities in his theory he 1910 01:17:01,189 --> 01:16:59,199 always tried to avoid them 1911 01:17:02,870 --> 01:17:01,199 and 1912 01:17:05,189 --> 01:17:02,880 this prevented them 1913 01:17:07,110 --> 01:17:05,199 this ratio of the singular surface 1914 01:17:08,550 --> 01:17:07,120 horizon prevented them from from 1915 01:17:10,950 --> 01:17:08,560 believing 1916 01:17:12,550 --> 01:17:10,960 in these black holes 1917 01:17:14,229 --> 01:17:12,560 um 1918 01:17:16,550 --> 01:17:14,239 but eventually i was cleared up in the 1919 01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:16,560 early 60s 1920 01:17:20,070 --> 01:17:18,480 and uh 1921 01:17:21,990 --> 01:17:20,080 so then 1922 01:17:24,310 --> 01:17:22,000 from that understanding of 1923 01:17:25,910 --> 01:17:24,320 not having a singular membrane surface 1924 01:17:28,229 --> 01:17:25,920 horizon surface 1925 01:17:30,709 --> 01:17:28,239 someone could begin to believe that 1926 01:17:31,830 --> 01:17:30,719 these black holes made mathematical 1927 01:17:33,189 --> 01:17:31,840 sense 1928 01:17:34,950 --> 01:17:33,199 and by the way there's another 1929 01:17:37,270 --> 01:17:34,960 singularity 1930 01:17:39,510 --> 01:17:37,280 for the black hole 1931 01:17:41,030 --> 01:17:39,520 when the star collapses because it has a 1932 01:17:42,630 --> 01:17:41,040 large mass 1933 01:17:45,510 --> 01:17:42,640 too massive 1934 01:17:47,590 --> 01:17:45,520 to sustain itself 1935 01:17:48,709 --> 01:17:47,600 it collapses because the 1936 01:17:50,470 --> 01:17:48,719 pressure 1937 01:17:52,950 --> 01:17:50,480 due to uh 1938 01:17:54,470 --> 01:17:52,960 what's called degenerate gas neutron gas 1939 01:17:57,830 --> 01:17:54,480 for example 1940 01:17:59,669 --> 01:17:57,840 a neutron particle gas 1941 01:18:01,189 --> 01:17:59,679 the pressure there is not big enough to 1942 01:18:03,189 --> 01:18:01,199 balance 1943 01:18:05,990 --> 01:18:03,199 due to the attraction of gravity so the 1944 01:18:08,070 --> 01:18:06,000 star collapses and it collapses in 1945 01:18:10,790 --> 01:18:08,080 einstein's classical theory 1946 01:18:12,870 --> 01:18:10,800 to a singularity at the center 1947 01:18:15,590 --> 01:18:12,880 at the coordinate center which is 1948 01:18:18,870 --> 01:18:15,600 radially the distance 1949 01:18:20,870 --> 01:18:18,880 radially is zero at the center 1950 01:18:24,870 --> 01:18:20,880 and this singularity 1951 01:18:26,870 --> 01:18:24,880 has bothered bother physicists 1952 01:18:30,070 --> 01:18:26,880 from the beginning and this year 1953 01:18:32,149 --> 01:18:30,080 and uh this this is an issue which i can 1954 01:18:34,709 --> 01:18:32,159 get to eventually 1955 01:18:37,189 --> 01:18:34,719 so these are the two possible singulars 1956 01:18:39,430 --> 01:18:37,199 the singular singularities at the center 1957 01:18:42,950 --> 01:18:39,440 and einstein's classical theory 1958 01:18:44,950 --> 01:18:42,960 is there you can't avoid avoid it 1959 01:18:47,430 --> 01:18:44,960 by choosing another coordinate system 1960 01:18:50,310 --> 01:18:47,440 it's called an essential singularity 1961 01:18:52,310 --> 01:18:50,320 whereas as i explained for the horizon 1962 01:18:54,550 --> 01:18:52,320 you can choose different coordinates 1963 01:18:56,550 --> 01:18:54,560 and not have a singular surface 1964 01:18:58,790 --> 01:18:56,560 so the coordinate singularities are more 1965 01:19:00,790 --> 01:18:58,800 like figments of your coordinate choice 1966 01:19:02,229 --> 01:19:00,800 and the essential singularity is one 1967 01:19:03,830 --> 01:19:02,239 that is truer 1968 01:19:06,229 --> 01:19:03,840 that's right it's always there and the 1969 01:19:07,590 --> 01:19:06,239 classical theory of gravity einstein's 1970 01:19:09,669 --> 01:19:07,600 theory you 1971 01:19:11,270 --> 01:19:09,679 started studying physics around the time 1972 01:19:13,830 --> 01:19:11,280 you were 16 you had a correspondence 1973 01:19:14,630 --> 01:19:13,840 with einstein directly 20. 1974 01:19:17,669 --> 01:19:14,640 when you were 20 you had the 1975 01:19:19,430 --> 01:19:17,679 correspondence with einstein and then 1976 01:19:21,270 --> 01:19:19,440 you started developing 1977 01:19:24,390 --> 01:19:21,280 your own theory 1978 01:19:25,430 --> 01:19:24,400 an extension of general relativity 1979 01:19:27,510 --> 01:19:25,440 okay 1980 01:19:29,270 --> 01:19:27,520 well i've come i had an unusual 1981 01:19:30,390 --> 01:19:29,280 background 1982 01:19:33,510 --> 01:19:30,400 um 1983 01:19:35,750 --> 01:19:33,520 i left school when i was 15 because i 1984 01:19:38,390 --> 01:19:35,760 wanted to be an artist 1985 01:19:39,590 --> 01:19:38,400 what kind of artist i paint i still 1986 01:19:40,870 --> 01:19:39,600 paint 1987 01:19:42,790 --> 01:19:40,880 um 1988 01:19:44,310 --> 01:19:42,800 an abstract painting 1989 01:19:45,110 --> 01:19:44,320 so i joined 1990 01:19:48,830 --> 01:19:45,120 i 1991 01:19:51,270 --> 01:19:48,840 just turned 1992 01:19:53,189 --> 01:19:51,280 17. and uh 1993 01:19:56,630 --> 01:19:53,199 i had learned about 1994 01:19:59,430 --> 01:19:56,640 a size polyakov abstract painter who was 1995 01:20:02,470 --> 01:19:59,440 exhibited paintings in copenhagen 1996 01:20:04,390 --> 01:20:02,480 uh before i left for paris and i was 1997 01:20:07,189 --> 01:20:04,400 very impressed with his work 1998 01:20:08,550 --> 01:20:07,199 so i looked him up he lived in autism 1999 01:20:10,630 --> 01:20:08,560 how do you look him up this is before 2000 01:20:13,750 --> 01:20:10,640 the internet 2001 01:20:16,229 --> 01:20:13,760 well i looked him up in the sense of 2002 01:20:18,950 --> 01:20:16,239 not the internet i went to his house 2003 01:20:20,870 --> 01:20:18,960 because he had a little apartment and he 2004 01:20:22,310 --> 01:20:20,880 lives there with his wife 2005 01:20:23,990 --> 01:20:22,320 um 2006 01:20:27,110 --> 01:20:24,000 madame pollock he just showed up at his 2007 01:20:29,669 --> 01:20:27,120 house a 17 year old kid 17 year old kid 2008 01:20:30,550 --> 01:20:29,679 and he had his little boy alex body a 2009 01:20:33,910 --> 01:20:30,560 cup 2010 01:20:35,910 --> 01:20:33,920 and that's where he painted this room 2011 01:20:38,310 --> 01:20:35,920 and uh 2012 01:20:41,590 --> 01:20:38,320 he played the guitar at night because he 2013 01:20:44,310 --> 01:20:41,600 wasn't more well-known at all 2014 01:20:45,270 --> 01:20:44,320 then he became famous and uh i was there 2015 01:20:47,270 --> 01:20:45,280 with him 2016 01:20:48,870 --> 01:20:47,280 for a for about a year 2017 01:20:51,830 --> 01:20:48,880 to show up at his house he stayed for a 2018 01:20:54,390 --> 01:20:51,840 year no no i i had a room 2019 01:20:56,149 --> 01:20:54,400 in porter leon outside near in the 2020 01:20:59,270 --> 01:20:56,159 suburbs of paris 2021 01:21:01,750 --> 01:20:59,280 just one room but uh 2022 01:21:04,550 --> 01:21:01,760 i had saved up some money to to be in 2023 01:21:07,430 --> 01:21:04,560 paris but the money was running out 2024 01:21:08,790 --> 01:21:07,440 and i couldn't find any employment 2025 01:21:11,270 --> 01:21:08,800 because i was 2026 01:21:13,110 --> 01:21:11,280 british danish 2027 01:21:14,950 --> 01:21:13,120 i was a british citizen 2028 01:21:17,030 --> 01:21:14,960 because of my father 2029 01:21:19,350 --> 01:21:17,040 and 2030 01:21:20,470 --> 01:21:19,360 so i 2031 01:21:22,870 --> 01:21:20,480 painted 2032 01:21:25,669 --> 01:21:22,880 so he one day he said bring some 2033 01:21:29,110 --> 01:21:25,679 paintings along to the studio 2034 01:21:31,830 --> 01:21:29,120 and we're going to show you in a show 2035 01:21:33,830 --> 01:21:31,840 at the at the museum 2036 01:21:36,870 --> 01:21:33,840 with dartmouth 2037 01:21:39,110 --> 01:21:36,880 avenue wilson in paris 2038 01:21:41,270 --> 01:21:39,120 so all of a sudden i have four paintings 2039 01:21:45,669 --> 01:21:41,280 up four or five 2040 01:21:46,790 --> 01:21:45,679 and this big museum modern art museum 2041 01:21:49,270 --> 01:21:46,800 and uh 2042 01:21:51,350 --> 01:21:49,280 i was surrounded by 2043 01:21:53,669 --> 01:21:51,360 these abstract painters 2044 01:21:57,030 --> 01:21:53,679 by cerrelli modiani 2045 01:21:58,390 --> 01:21:57,040 polyakov who are now famous names and 2046 01:22:00,149 --> 01:21:58,400 not 2047 01:22:03,510 --> 01:22:00,159 so you were there before it was cool 2048 01:22:06,550 --> 01:22:03,520 before it was famous before i was and 2049 01:22:11,270 --> 01:22:08,950 interviewed by 2050 01:22:12,709 --> 01:22:11,280 by um 2051 01:22:14,390 --> 01:22:12,719 journalists 2052 01:22:16,390 --> 01:22:14,400 from the mall 2053 01:22:20,229 --> 01:22:16,400 and other figaro 2054 01:22:24,470 --> 01:22:21,030 young 2055 01:22:26,149 --> 01:22:24,480 but to be exhibited at such a famous 2056 01:22:26,870 --> 01:22:26,159 installation 2057 01:22:29,030 --> 01:22:26,880 the 2058 01:22:31,430 --> 01:22:29,040 exhibition was called royalty novel 2059 01:22:36,229 --> 01:22:31,440 actually there was a a 2060 01:22:38,390 --> 01:22:36,239 spring exhibition every spring in paris 2061 01:22:39,590 --> 01:22:38,400 so i got to know these famous artists 2062 01:22:41,189 --> 01:22:39,600 and uh 2063 01:22:44,470 --> 01:22:41,199 uh 2064 01:22:46,470 --> 01:22:44,480 i was with them for a year 2065 01:22:48,550 --> 01:22:46,480 and uh 2066 01:22:51,189 --> 01:22:48,560 then i ran out of money i had to go back 2067 01:22:54,550 --> 01:22:51,199 to power to copenhagen 2068 01:23:00,229 --> 01:22:57,030 go back living with my parents again 2069 01:23:00,239 --> 01:23:02,790 and 2070 01:23:08,149 --> 01:23:05,350 i got interested in 2071 01:23:10,229 --> 01:23:08,159 i started reading voraciously 2072 01:23:11,910 --> 01:23:10,239 everything classics 2073 01:23:13,590 --> 01:23:11,920 are you a quick reader 2074 01:23:15,030 --> 01:23:13,600 no 2075 01:23:17,270 --> 01:23:15,040 i'm slowly 2076 01:23:18,390 --> 01:23:17,280 i absorb everything 2077 01:23:20,550 --> 01:23:18,400 carefully 2078 01:23:23,189 --> 01:23:20,560 that tends to be true of mathematicians 2079 01:23:24,870 --> 01:23:23,199 it turns out that if you study iq and iq 2080 01:23:26,229 --> 01:23:24,880 can fractionate into mathematical and 2081 01:23:30,629 --> 01:23:26,239 verbal iq 2082 01:23:32,790 --> 01:23:30,639 to mathematical so the more highly 2083 01:23:35,030 --> 01:23:32,800 gifted you are mathematically the less 2084 01:23:37,669 --> 01:23:35,040 verbally and then the reverse tends to 2085 01:23:39,590 --> 01:23:37,679 be true i must say that school i was not 2086 01:23:43,669 --> 01:23:39,600 a very good student 2087 01:23:47,350 --> 01:23:45,430 i was 2088 01:23:50,629 --> 01:23:47,360 the only sappy i did well and it was 2089 01:23:53,030 --> 01:23:50,639 chemistry for some reason i was 2090 01:23:55,590 --> 01:23:53,040 fascinated by chemistry but not physics 2091 01:23:57,189 --> 01:23:55,600 no if i was poor physics or math you 2092 01:23:59,510 --> 01:23:57,199 didn't care too much about i didn't care 2093 01:24:01,510 --> 01:23:59,520 about it i didn't find it interesting 2094 01:24:04,470 --> 01:24:01,520 and this is around 15 2095 01:24:05,990 --> 01:24:04,480 uh no this is around 2096 01:24:08,870 --> 01:24:06,000 10 11 2097 01:24:10,550 --> 01:24:08,880 okay 12 10 yeah 2098 01:24:11,910 --> 01:24:10,560 we were living in glasgow at the time 2099 01:24:15,030 --> 01:24:11,920 what year is this 2100 01:24:18,229 --> 01:24:15,040 uh this would be 1942-43 2101 01:24:19,750 --> 01:24:18,239 so this is during the war do you know 2102 01:24:21,910 --> 01:24:19,760 anyway uh 2103 01:24:23,990 --> 01:24:21,920 so when actually when i left school 2104 01:24:27,990 --> 01:24:24,000 and come hang 2105 01:24:32,229 --> 01:24:28,000 i did try to get into university and uh 2106 01:24:34,070 --> 01:24:32,239 i went in those days in copenhagen 2107 01:24:36,390 --> 01:24:34,080 you uh 2108 01:24:37,669 --> 01:24:36,400 went to what's called gymnasium more 2109 01:24:39,990 --> 01:24:37,679 like it's 2110 01:24:43,270 --> 01:24:40,000 something like the oil german system 2111 01:24:45,110 --> 01:24:43,280 educational system and then you 2112 01:24:48,310 --> 01:24:45,120 went into the university 2113 01:24:50,470 --> 01:24:48,320 so i was interviewed by this 2114 01:24:53,110 --> 01:24:50,480 teacher school teacher to see why i 2115 01:24:55,750 --> 01:24:53,120 should be admitted admitted to 2116 01:24:58,390 --> 01:24:55,760 the gymnasium which is the 2117 01:25:01,270 --> 01:24:58,400 portal for university 2118 01:25:03,030 --> 01:25:01,280 and uh he asked me that i i should say 2119 01:25:04,310 --> 01:25:03,040 by the way that 2120 01:25:06,229 --> 01:25:04,320 um 2121 01:25:09,669 --> 01:25:06,239 during the war 2122 01:25:11,270 --> 01:25:09,679 in brisbane bristol this was 1942 in the 2123 01:25:14,070 --> 01:25:11,280 battle of britain 2124 01:25:15,669 --> 01:25:14,080 july august 1940 2125 01:25:16,870 --> 01:25:15,679 there were bombings 2126 01:25:18,310 --> 01:25:16,880 day and night 2127 01:25:20,870 --> 01:25:18,320 and 2128 01:25:22,390 --> 01:25:20,880 i did schooling on the crown 2129 01:25:24,229 --> 01:25:22,400 way underground 2130 01:25:25,750 --> 01:25:24,239 with sandbags 2131 01:25:27,830 --> 01:25:25,760 it was terrible 2132 01:25:28,709 --> 01:25:27,840 and the teaching was really 2133 01:25:30,390 --> 01:25:28,719 quite 2134 01:25:32,070 --> 01:25:30,400 not very good 2135 01:25:35,030 --> 01:25:32,080 and uh anyway 2136 01:25:37,030 --> 01:25:35,040 so we went on a vacation to 2137 01:25:39,030 --> 01:25:37,040 western supermare a little 2138 01:25:41,350 --> 01:25:39,040 seaside resort 2139 01:25:43,669 --> 01:25:41,360 coast of england 2140 01:25:45,030 --> 01:25:43,679 we were walking along the beach road 2141 01:25:47,189 --> 01:25:45,040 promenade 2142 01:25:49,510 --> 01:25:47,199 and suddenly these two viciousness 2143 01:25:52,470 --> 01:25:49,520 bombers came up okay by 2144 01:25:55,110 --> 01:25:52,480 i looked at i could see the 2145 01:25:58,390 --> 01:25:55,120 pilots and the plane planes 2146 01:26:01,030 --> 01:25:58,400 and they dropped six bombs 2147 01:26:03,510 --> 01:26:01,040 and uh they fell on the beach 2148 01:26:04,629 --> 01:26:03,520 which is way this is to that tennis 2149 01:26:06,149 --> 01:26:04,639 court 2150 01:26:09,350 --> 01:26:06,159 down there 2151 01:26:12,070 --> 01:26:09,360 and uh 2152 01:26:14,390 --> 01:26:12,080 that's not too far not too far 2153 01:26:16,470 --> 01:26:14,400 so they went into the sand which 2154 01:26:19,590 --> 01:26:16,480 somewhat muffled the blast 2155 01:26:22,550 --> 01:26:19,600 but we were blown across the street 2156 01:26:26,070 --> 01:26:22,560 so i i suffer from ptsd 2157 01:26:28,470 --> 01:26:26,080 i still do actually to some extent 2158 01:26:30,709 --> 01:26:28,480 and uh did you suffer any physical 2159 01:26:34,149 --> 01:26:30,719 injuries yeah 2160 01:26:38,149 --> 01:26:34,159 i was suffered a concussion 2161 01:26:40,870 --> 01:26:38,159 so uh this had an effect on me back to 2162 01:26:43,430 --> 01:26:40,880 the interview by the school teacher and 2163 01:26:45,910 --> 01:26:43,440 flashing back and forward right he asked 2164 01:26:47,590 --> 01:26:45,920 me these questions at the blackboard 2165 01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:47,600 mathematics 2166 01:26:53,590 --> 01:26:50,400 and because of my 2167 01:26:55,990 --> 01:26:53,600 what we now call ptsd 2168 01:27:00,149 --> 01:26:56,000 poster marries trust disorder i just 2169 01:27:05,189 --> 01:27:02,470 and uh i couldn't answer any questions 2170 01:27:07,030 --> 01:27:05,199 so he said he said i can tell you 2171 01:27:08,790 --> 01:27:07,040 moffitt 2172 01:27:11,350 --> 01:27:08,800 actually sure you'll never become a 2173 01:27:14,629 --> 01:27:11,360 mathematician 2174 01:27:16,709 --> 01:27:14,639 and they rejected me i was rejected 2175 01:27:18,790 --> 01:27:16,719 from going to the gymnasium that was the 2176 01:27:21,910 --> 01:27:18,800 end of the possibility of attending 2177 01:27:27,110 --> 01:27:26,229 in denmark so anyway back to uh 2178 01:27:30,390 --> 01:27:27,120 so 2179 01:27:31,750 --> 01:27:30,400 yeah paris copenhagen again i got 2180 01:27:33,750 --> 01:27:31,760 interested in 2181 01:27:35,910 --> 01:27:33,760 and uh did a lot of reading so i read 2182 01:27:38,229 --> 01:27:35,920 arthur eddington's books 2183 01:27:39,110 --> 01:27:38,239 popular books i got very interested in 2184 01:27:41,990 --> 01:27:39,120 that 2185 01:27:43,669 --> 01:27:42,000 in the end of physics and astronomy 2186 01:27:46,790 --> 01:27:43,679 and uh 2187 01:27:49,030 --> 01:27:46,800 i started getting excited about that 2188 01:27:51,270 --> 01:27:49,040 so i decided this was something to 2189 01:27:53,030 --> 01:27:51,280 pursue so i started learning math and 2190 01:27:55,030 --> 01:27:53,040 physique so it turned out that i could 2191 01:27:56,950 --> 01:27:55,040 attend 2192 01:27:58,870 --> 01:27:56,960 the library university live in the 2193 01:28:01,510 --> 01:27:58,880 university library 2194 01:28:03,910 --> 01:28:01,520 like university copenhagen library 2195 01:28:05,430 --> 01:28:03,920 and get books from physics and mass 2196 01:28:07,669 --> 01:28:05,440 which is 2197 01:28:09,030 --> 01:28:07,679 unusual for cities 2198 01:28:10,310 --> 01:28:09,040 you can't do that in the university of 2199 01:28:12,870 --> 01:28:10,320 toronto 2200 01:28:15,510 --> 01:28:12,880 the robust library you have to 2201 01:28:17,510 --> 01:28:15,520 be a member of the university 2202 01:28:18,629 --> 01:28:17,520 so but back then any member of the 2203 01:28:19,750 --> 01:28:18,639 public could take out the universe 2204 01:28:22,149 --> 01:28:19,760 publicly 2205 01:28:24,070 --> 01:28:22,159 and uh so i took out these books from 2206 01:28:27,189 --> 01:28:24,080 maths and physics 2207 01:28:27,199 --> 01:28:29,910 it just suddenly 2208 01:28:33,110 --> 01:28:31,030 clicked 2209 01:28:34,470 --> 01:28:33,120 and within about a week or two i learned 2210 01:28:36,709 --> 01:28:34,480 calculus 2211 01:28:38,310 --> 01:28:36,719 trigonometry 2212 01:28:39,750 --> 01:28:38,320 uh within 2213 01:28:44,390 --> 01:28:39,760 so you found that you had a natural 2214 01:28:49,350 --> 01:28:46,550 i have to tell you 2215 01:28:50,709 --> 01:28:49,360 i never understood how i did this 2216 01:28:53,030 --> 01:28:50,719 to this day you know 2217 01:28:55,189 --> 01:28:53,040 i still don't understand it 2218 01:28:58,310 --> 01:28:55,199 and uh 2219 01:29:00,709 --> 01:28:58,320 within a couple of months i was 2220 01:29:02,390 --> 01:29:00,719 moving fast okay i was going through all 2221 01:29:04,950 --> 01:29:02,400 our mathematics 2222 01:29:07,510 --> 01:29:04,960 and physics and uh you must have had 2223 01:29:10,950 --> 01:29:07,520 some great books too yeah i had i 2224 01:29:14,550 --> 01:29:10,960 somehow understood as i moved forward 2225 01:29:15,830 --> 01:29:14,560 what to look for what books to look for 2226 01:29:19,110 --> 01:29:15,840 and 2227 01:29:21,910 --> 01:29:19,120 so within six months 2228 01:29:24,070 --> 01:29:21,920 i got up to general relativity 2229 01:29:26,470 --> 01:29:24,080 and 2230 01:29:27,830 --> 01:29:26,480 then i did general relativity within a 2231 01:29:29,830 --> 01:29:27,840 month 2232 01:29:31,110 --> 01:29:29,840 okay for people listening you went from 2233 01:29:32,950 --> 01:29:31,120 a teacher saying that you're never going 2234 01:29:34,629 --> 01:29:32,960 to learn mathematics to you also not 2235 01:29:36,390 --> 01:29:34,639 knowing much of mathematics at that time 2236 01:29:37,910 --> 01:29:36,400 to then you picking up your first book 2237 01:29:39,830 --> 01:29:37,920 in the library for whatever reason you 2238 01:29:41,910 --> 01:29:39,840 were curious about it to then learning 2239 01:29:44,470 --> 01:29:41,920 general relativity in the span of six 2240 01:29:45,830 --> 01:29:44,480 months when you were around 15 or so 2241 01:29:47,430 --> 01:29:45,840 uh no 2242 01:29:49,189 --> 01:29:47,440 19 20 2243 01:29:50,709 --> 01:29:49,199 20. 2244 01:29:53,669 --> 01:29:50,719 yeah um 2245 01:29:57,990 --> 01:29:53,679 after that i had no interest in the 2246 01:30:00,229 --> 01:29:58,000 in science in general but uh 2247 01:30:02,709 --> 01:30:00,239 but then i suddenly 2248 01:30:04,830 --> 01:30:02,719 something lit up 2249 01:30:07,910 --> 01:30:04,840 and 2250 01:30:09,990 --> 01:30:07,920 so i then i ran into einstein's unified 2251 01:30:12,790 --> 01:30:10,000 field theory 2252 01:30:15,430 --> 01:30:12,800 and uh studied that and 2253 01:30:17,110 --> 01:30:15,440 found a problem with it 2254 01:30:19,270 --> 01:30:17,120 when you say einstein's unified field 2255 01:30:21,990 --> 01:30:19,280 theory you're not referring to general 2256 01:30:25,110 --> 01:30:22,000 relativity no this is uh what he called 2257 01:30:27,350 --> 01:30:25,120 a non-symmetric theory of gravitation he 2258 01:30:29,830 --> 01:30:27,360 called a generalization of gravitation 2259 01:30:30,709 --> 01:30:29,840 to it he didn't call it unified field 2260 01:30:32,870 --> 01:30:30,719 theory 2261 01:30:34,149 --> 01:30:32,880 generalization of gravity uh okay 2262 01:30:36,629 --> 01:30:34,159 because this was around the time when 2263 01:30:39,350 --> 01:30:36,639 einstein was publishing 2264 01:30:41,030 --> 01:30:39,360 people like for example me we don't know 2265 01:30:42,390 --> 01:30:41,040 much about what einstein published that 2266 01:30:44,149 --> 01:30:42,400 didn't work we were only taught what 2267 01:30:46,070 --> 01:30:44,159 worked which is gr and the special 2268 01:30:48,229 --> 01:30:46,080 relativity first so i don't i actually 2269 01:30:50,709 --> 01:30:48,239 don't know about the specifics of his 2270 01:30:52,310 --> 01:30:50,719 unified field theory attempts yeah now 2271 01:30:56,709 --> 01:30:52,320 he 2272 01:30:59,110 --> 01:30:56,719 this is a a lot of this is described in 2273 01:31:00,870 --> 01:30:59,120 my book reinventing gravity i go through 2274 01:31:01,910 --> 01:31:00,880 the whole history of this 2275 01:31:05,030 --> 01:31:01,920 um 2276 01:31:07,350 --> 01:31:05,040 after the 1915-16 publication of general 2277 01:31:09,750 --> 01:31:07,360 relativity 2278 01:31:12,390 --> 01:31:09,760 einstein kept publishing applications 2279 01:31:14,550 --> 01:31:12,400 like detection of gravitational waves 2280 01:31:18,550 --> 01:31:14,560 his famous book on the cosmology and so 2281 01:31:21,790 --> 01:31:18,560 on his famous article and cosmology 2282 01:31:24,070 --> 01:31:21,800 but he was more interested in unifying 2283 01:31:27,110 --> 01:31:24,080 electromagnetism with gravity 2284 01:31:28,310 --> 01:31:27,120 and making the one geometrical theory 2285 01:31:32,070 --> 01:31:28,320 okay 2286 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,950 uh 2287 01:31:39,830 --> 01:31:36,390 about 19 2288 01:31:41,430 --> 01:31:39,840 18 19 19. 2289 01:31:44,390 --> 01:31:41,440 isn't general relativity already 2290 01:31:45,830 --> 01:31:44,400 compatible with electromagnetism it was 2291 01:31:48,149 --> 01:31:45,840 because you can 2292 01:31:50,229 --> 01:31:48,159 incorporate maxwell's 2293 01:31:51,990 --> 01:31:50,239 equations of electromagnetism into 2294 01:31:54,550 --> 01:31:52,000 general relativity 2295 01:31:56,870 --> 01:31:54,560 in what's called a covariant way a way 2296 01:31:58,950 --> 01:31:56,880 of of not being dependent on any 2297 01:32:01,350 --> 01:31:58,960 particular coordinate system it's called 2298 01:32:02,870 --> 01:32:01,360 the einstein maxwell theory 2299 01:32:05,030 --> 01:32:02,880 and it is 2300 01:32:07,510 --> 01:32:05,040 just but maxwell's equations are not 2301 01:32:09,430 --> 01:32:07,520 unified with gravity so to speak in a 2302 01:32:11,590 --> 01:32:09,440 geometrical structure 2303 01:32:14,310 --> 01:32:11,600 ah okay 2304 01:32:16,870 --> 01:32:14,320 um so 2305 01:32:18,470 --> 01:32:16,880 he worked on and off on his unified 2306 01:32:21,110 --> 01:32:18,480 theories his generalization of 2307 01:32:23,669 --> 01:32:21,120 gravitation theory his theory 2308 01:32:25,430 --> 01:32:23,679 and in 1925 2309 01:32:26,470 --> 01:32:25,440 for example 2310 01:32:28,870 --> 01:32:26,480 he 2311 01:32:31,590 --> 01:32:28,880 followed collusion and worked on high 2312 01:32:33,830 --> 01:32:31,600 dimensional gravity to include the 2313 01:32:35,750 --> 01:32:33,840 electromagnetic field 2314 01:32:39,510 --> 01:32:35,760 maxwell's equations 2315 01:32:41,189 --> 01:32:39,520 and he wasn't happy with that 2316 01:32:42,149 --> 01:32:41,199 and uh 2317 01:32:44,550 --> 01:32:42,159 then he 2318 01:32:46,310 --> 01:32:44,560 vile herman weil the famous german 2319 01:32:49,430 --> 01:32:46,320 mathematician 2320 01:32:52,310 --> 01:32:49,440 who published a book famous book on uh 2321 01:32:53,669 --> 01:32:52,320 einstein's theory gravity called mata 2322 01:32:57,189 --> 01:32:53,679 and space time space space-time and 2323 01:33:14,470 --> 01:32:58,229 he 2324 01:33:16,870 --> 01:33:14,480 but that failed because 2325 01:33:19,350 --> 01:33:16,880 einstein criticized that there was a 2326 01:33:21,270 --> 01:33:19,360 problem with 2327 01:33:23,110 --> 01:33:21,280 understanding how clocks work in the 2328 01:33:24,790 --> 01:33:23,120 theory because of the so-called gauge 2329 01:33:29,430 --> 01:33:24,800 theory 2330 01:33:31,350 --> 01:33:29,440 and but then in 1925 einstein 2331 01:33:34,830 --> 01:33:31,360 journalized his 2332 01:33:37,510 --> 01:33:34,840 general relativity theory by saying the 2333 01:33:39,910 --> 01:33:37,520 following generality is based on a 2334 01:33:41,030 --> 01:33:39,920 space-time metric 2335 01:33:43,590 --> 01:33:41,040 which is 2336 01:33:46,950 --> 01:33:43,600 what it says a symmetric 2337 01:33:48,470 --> 01:33:46,960 metric it's a symmetric tensor 2338 01:33:50,790 --> 01:33:48,480 okay 2339 01:33:53,270 --> 01:33:50,800 g mu u it's called 2340 01:33:55,990 --> 01:33:53,280 we're mu and you run over space-time 2341 01:34:00,229 --> 01:33:56,000 coordinates one to four 2342 01:34:05,669 --> 01:34:03,110 so he said well why should this 2343 01:34:07,350 --> 01:34:05,679 metric this tends to be symmetric it can 2344 01:34:09,750 --> 01:34:07,360 be 2345 01:34:11,669 --> 01:34:09,760 non-symmetric you have a symmetric plus 2346 01:34:13,189 --> 01:34:11,679 an anti-symmetric part 2347 01:34:14,870 --> 01:34:13,199 added together 2348 01:34:16,790 --> 01:34:14,880 just let me explain this a bit to the 2349 01:34:19,270 --> 01:34:16,800 audience so there's 2350 01:34:20,310 --> 01:34:19,280 a metric which is a two tensor and a 2351 01:34:22,790 --> 01:34:20,320 tensor 2352 01:34:24,550 --> 01:34:22,800 is what you can think of as taking two 2353 01:34:25,830 --> 01:34:24,560 vectors you know what a vector is and 2354 01:34:27,590 --> 01:34:25,840 then outputting 2355 01:34:29,270 --> 01:34:27,600 what your underlying field is which in 2356 01:34:31,590 --> 01:34:29,280 most of the cases it's the real numbers 2357 01:34:33,030 --> 01:34:31,600 so that is you eat two vectors give me 2358 01:34:34,629 --> 01:34:33,040 two vectors and i'll give you a real 2359 01:34:38,550 --> 01:34:34,639 number and you have to satisfy some 2360 01:34:40,229 --> 01:34:38,560 conditions like linearity and so on 2361 01:34:41,910 --> 01:34:40,239 you can also switch those two vectors so 2362 01:34:43,910 --> 01:34:41,920 you can say give me a vector a give me 2363 01:34:45,669 --> 01:34:43,920 one vector then give me another one 2364 01:34:47,350 --> 01:34:45,679 or give me that one and then give me the 2365 01:34:49,830 --> 01:34:47,360 other one so give me a and b or give me 2366 01:34:50,950 --> 01:34:49,840 b and a and then if the result is the 2367 01:34:52,709 --> 01:34:50,960 same 2368 01:34:54,550 --> 01:34:52,719 in your calculation then you call it 2369 01:34:56,550 --> 01:34:54,560 symmetric 2370 01:34:58,790 --> 01:34:56,560 okay that's right 2371 01:35:01,189 --> 01:34:58,800 so yes so um 2372 01:35:02,629 --> 01:35:01,199 anyway he developed the mathematics for 2373 01:35:04,310 --> 01:35:02,639 this 2374 01:35:06,629 --> 01:35:04,320 and 2375 01:35:08,870 --> 01:35:06,639 published it as a paper 2376 01:35:10,229 --> 01:35:08,880 in 1925 there was a lot of excitement 2377 01:35:12,870 --> 01:35:10,239 about 2378 01:35:18,870 --> 01:35:12,880 any publication that he produced because 2379 01:35:23,910 --> 01:35:22,149 verified general relativity in 1919 2380 01:35:25,270 --> 01:35:23,920 arthur eddington's 2381 01:35:27,270 --> 01:35:25,280 uh 2382 01:35:30,229 --> 01:35:27,280 expedition 2383 01:35:32,550 --> 01:35:30,239 uh to to africa and uh 2384 01:35:36,550 --> 01:35:32,560 solar eclipse and so on 2385 01:35:38,790 --> 01:35:36,560 and uh anyway so the anyway so 2386 01:35:42,709 --> 01:35:38,800 back to the non-geometric theory 2387 01:35:44,790 --> 01:35:42,719 uh then he left it and tried other 2388 01:35:46,229 --> 01:35:44,800 made other attempts to have a unified 2389 01:35:49,270 --> 01:35:46,239 theory he 2390 01:35:55,270 --> 01:35:50,550 so 2391 01:36:00,629 --> 01:35:57,590 in collaboration with 2392 01:36:02,550 --> 01:36:00,639 strauss he was einstein's assistant at 2393 01:36:05,590 --> 01:36:02,560 the institute for one study in princeton 2394 01:36:08,390 --> 01:36:05,600 where he now is okay 1945 2395 01:36:10,310 --> 01:36:08,400 professor there in institute 2396 01:36:11,270 --> 01:36:10,320 um 2397 01:36:20,790 --> 01:36:11,280 he 2398 01:36:22,709 --> 01:36:20,800 was a problem 2399 01:36:26,070 --> 01:36:22,719 because the field equations of the 2400 01:36:29,910 --> 01:36:28,950 attracts a beautiful looking 2401 01:36:31,990 --> 01:36:29,920 uh 2402 01:36:35,189 --> 01:36:32,000 it's quite natural to generalize 2403 01:36:37,350 --> 01:36:35,199 einstein's theory there's no reason why 2404 01:36:40,470 --> 01:36:37,360 this tensor should be symmetric 2405 01:36:41,830 --> 01:36:40,480 and some what's called the connection 2406 01:36:43,990 --> 01:36:41,840 uh 2407 01:36:45,430 --> 01:36:44,000 to which is associated with the metric 2408 01:36:47,910 --> 01:36:45,440 tensor 2409 01:36:50,950 --> 01:36:47,920 uh at the i find connection 2410 01:36:52,870 --> 01:36:50,960 is also non-symmetric in this theory 2411 01:36:54,790 --> 01:36:52,880 and it has a symmetric power which is 2412 01:36:57,590 --> 01:36:54,800 the i find connection which is not a 2413 01:36:59,350 --> 01:36:57,600 tensor and the skew and anti-symmetric 2414 01:37:01,830 --> 01:36:59,360 part the skew part 2415 01:37:02,629 --> 01:37:01,840 which is is a tensor anyway 2416 01:37:04,390 --> 01:37:02,639 so 2417 01:37:06,550 --> 01:37:04,400 uh 2418 01:37:09,189 --> 01:37:06,560 it turned out that the field equations 2419 01:37:11,510 --> 01:37:09,199 which are supposed to describe maxwell's 2420 01:37:15,669 --> 01:37:11,520 equations 2421 01:37:17,990 --> 01:37:15,679 and he couldn't get the equation of 2422 01:37:20,310 --> 01:37:18,000 motion for a charged particle what's 2423 01:37:23,350 --> 01:37:20,320 called the the release lawrence lawrence 2424 01:37:25,510 --> 01:37:23,360 ford's law hendrick lawrence the 2425 01:37:29,350 --> 01:37:25,520 physicist 2426 01:37:34,229 --> 01:37:31,510 the turn of the uh 2427 01:37:36,709 --> 01:37:34,239 20th century 2428 01:37:37,830 --> 01:37:36,719 the lorenz force on on the charged 2429 01:37:40,070 --> 01:37:37,840 particle 2430 01:37:43,990 --> 01:37:40,080 didn't come out of the theory 2431 01:37:59,510 --> 01:37:44,790 so 2432 01:38:02,550 --> 01:37:59,520 he did at that time he had what's called 2433 01:38:04,629 --> 01:38:02,560 her mission metric tensor so we had the 2434 01:38:07,030 --> 01:38:04,639 symmetric power was real and the 2435 01:38:10,149 --> 01:38:07,040 anti-symmetric part was 2436 01:38:12,070 --> 01:38:10,159 it was an imaginary quantity measuring 2437 01:38:13,750 --> 01:38:12,080 square root of minus one times the 2438 01:38:17,109 --> 01:38:13,760 measuring part 2439 01:38:19,030 --> 01:38:17,119 and i found the problem with the 2440 01:38:21,109 --> 01:38:19,040 the lagrangian what's called the action 2441 01:38:22,870 --> 01:38:21,119 principle from which you get the filthy 2442 01:38:25,189 --> 01:38:22,880 questions 2443 01:38:27,270 --> 01:38:25,199 so i wrote him a letter and i wrote two 2444 01:38:28,790 --> 01:38:27,280 papers actually but that is to say you 2445 01:38:30,950 --> 01:38:28,800 found a problem with the lagrangian or 2446 01:38:32,149 --> 01:38:30,960 the action that the idea the structure 2447 01:38:35,189 --> 01:38:32,159 of the action 2448 01:38:37,270 --> 01:38:35,199 as to whether it was real or not 2449 01:38:40,149 --> 01:38:37,280 the action that lagrangian has to be 2450 01:38:42,229 --> 01:38:40,159 real okay otherwise you get into trouble 2451 01:38:44,149 --> 01:38:42,239 with uh 2452 01:38:46,310 --> 01:38:44,159 the development of the theories looked 2453 01:38:47,830 --> 01:38:46,320 self-consistent 2454 01:38:50,470 --> 01:38:47,840 so i 2455 01:38:52,950 --> 01:38:50,480 wrote these two papers i 2456 01:38:55,030 --> 01:38:52,960 typed on an old typewriter 2457 01:38:58,390 --> 01:38:55,040 and uh with the math symbols on the old 2458 01:39:01,270 --> 01:38:58,400 typewriter too no i had to put them in 2459 01:39:03,430 --> 01:39:01,280 by a pen okay it's all very primitive 2460 01:39:04,709 --> 01:39:03,440 compared to what we do today 2461 01:39:07,189 --> 01:39:04,719 and uh 2462 01:39:09,350 --> 01:39:07,199 sent them 2463 01:39:11,030 --> 01:39:09,360 these manuscripts and the letter i never 2464 01:39:12,550 --> 01:39:11,040 expected to hear from them because i 2465 01:39:15,189 --> 01:39:12,560 mean 2466 01:39:16,629 --> 01:39:15,199 famous einstein 2467 01:39:18,390 --> 01:39:16,639 people were writing to him all the time 2468 01:39:20,470 --> 01:39:18,400 be like writing obama and then obama 2469 01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:20,480 replying to exactly so 2470 01:39:24,550 --> 01:39:21,760 however 2471 01:39:26,790 --> 01:39:24,560 my prison was 2472 01:39:27,510 --> 01:39:26,800 was correct 2473 01:39:30,790 --> 01:39:27,520 so 2474 01:39:34,390 --> 01:39:30,800 20 or 22 or 20 2475 01:39:37,669 --> 01:39:34,400 92 i was 20 yeah 2476 01:39:42,070 --> 01:39:39,510 so 2477 01:39:45,030 --> 01:39:42,080 right looked at the manuscript and 2478 01:39:47,830 --> 01:39:45,040 um okay so you corrected einstein 2479 01:39:49,590 --> 01:39:47,840 yeah so i'm not correct i'm i questioned 2480 01:39:52,390 --> 01:39:49,600 what he was doing 2481 01:39:56,229 --> 01:39:52,400 and uh so he 2482 01:39:58,950 --> 01:39:56,239 amazingly and um a letter comes in 2483 01:40:00,550 --> 01:39:58,960 from from princeton from mercer street 2484 01:40:02,390 --> 01:40:00,560 where he 2485 01:40:04,629 --> 01:40:02,400 had his house 2486 01:40:07,030 --> 01:40:04,639 and uh 2487 01:40:08,790 --> 01:40:07,040 discussing my paper 2488 01:40:10,870 --> 01:40:08,800 papers and 2489 01:40:12,790 --> 01:40:10,880 and uh 2490 01:40:13,750 --> 01:40:12,800 just caching this issue i raised and so 2491 01:40:21,590 --> 01:40:13,760 on 2492 01:40:22,950 --> 01:40:21,600 i also criticized the fact that he was 2493 01:40:26,149 --> 01:40:22,960 only 2494 01:40:27,990 --> 01:40:26,159 unifying gravity with electromagnetism 2495 01:40:29,350 --> 01:40:28,000 and that that we knew about the nuclear 2496 01:40:32,070 --> 01:40:29,360 force 2497 01:40:33,910 --> 01:40:32,080 i mean there was already nuclear what we 2498 01:40:36,550 --> 01:40:33,920 call nuclear physics 2499 01:40:39,750 --> 01:40:36,560 so how can you leave that out okay and 2500 01:40:40,709 --> 01:40:39,760 he responded to that 2501 01:40:43,109 --> 01:40:40,719 so 2502 01:40:43,119 --> 01:40:47,430 then um 2503 01:40:52,790 --> 01:40:50,629 we have we had a friend my father 2504 01:40:54,870 --> 01:40:52,800 had a friend who was a 2505 01:40:55,910 --> 01:40:54,880 chemist 2506 01:40:58,310 --> 01:40:55,920 and 2507 01:40:59,830 --> 01:40:58,320 living he called me an american 2508 01:41:02,149 --> 01:40:59,840 and 2509 01:41:05,590 --> 01:41:02,159 he got to hear about me 2510 01:41:07,750 --> 01:41:05,600 and uh then he 2511 01:41:09,109 --> 01:41:07,760 somehow got about niels bohr at the 2512 01:41:11,350 --> 01:41:09,119 point if he should 2513 01:41:13,189 --> 01:41:11,360 cut to hear about me 2514 01:41:14,310 --> 01:41:13,199 and so i was invited to the board 2515 01:41:16,229 --> 01:41:14,320 institute 2516 01:41:19,910 --> 01:41:16,239

01:50:08,149 --> 01:50:05,760 or three months 2735 01:50:09,750 --> 01:50:08,159 and uh 2736 01:50:12,790 --> 01:50:09,760 submitted it to the presidential 2737 01:50:15,430 --> 01:50:12,800 cambridge philosophical society 2738 01:50:17,350 --> 01:50:15,440 and the first paper was 2739 01:50:20,390 --> 01:50:17,360 very mathematical was a generalization 2740 01:50:21,270 --> 01:50:20,400 of romanian geometry 2741 01:50:23,990 --> 01:50:21,280 and 2742 01:50:25,990 --> 01:50:24,000 the other two were my first modified 2743 01:50:30,149 --> 01:50:26,000 gravity theory 2744 01:50:36,149 --> 01:50:31,189 the 2745 01:50:39,189 --> 01:50:36,159 gravity and electromagnetism 2746 01:50:39,910 --> 01:50:39,199 in my own way okay so i invented this 2747 01:50:41,510 --> 01:50:39,920 way 2748 01:50:43,590 --> 01:50:41,520 no showing a new heinz this is a 2749 01:50:45,189 --> 01:50:43,600 different way of doing it 2750 01:50:46,790 --> 01:50:45,199 and 2751 01:50:49,590 --> 01:50:46,800 they accepted them 2752 01:50:53,750 --> 01:50:51,030 so i mean 2753 01:50:56,550 --> 01:50:53,760 cambridge proceedings as an ancient 2754 01:50:58,310 --> 01:50:56,560 history i mean famous mathematicians and 2755 01:51:01,270 --> 01:50:58,320 my officers were published there 2756 01:51:03,189 --> 01:51:01,280 schrodinger published papers there 2757 01:51:04,390 --> 01:51:03,199 economic act 2758 01:51:07,830 --> 01:51:04,400 so 2759 01:51:09,750 --> 01:51:07,840 i went back to to fred hoyle 2760 01:51:12,070 --> 01:51:09,760 and uh 2761 01:51:13,270 --> 01:51:12,080 i gave him the papers when he sat and 2762 01:51:14,790 --> 01:51:13,280 looked at them 2763 01:51:17,270 --> 01:51:14,800 and he said well 2764 01:51:20,470 --> 01:51:17,280 forget about the tripods exam just 2765 01:51:22,310 --> 01:51:20,480 continue with what you took me 2766 01:51:24,310 --> 01:51:22,320 that was it 2767 01:51:26,870 --> 01:51:24,320 so i 2768 01:51:29,910 --> 01:51:26,880 did my own research 2769 01:51:31,750 --> 01:51:29,920 i went had to go to um 2770 01:51:34,310 --> 01:51:31,760 california 2771 01:51:37,270 --> 01:51:34,320 to do his steady state theory and work 2772 01:51:38,629 --> 01:51:37,280 with fowler william fowler at the 2773 01:51:40,470 --> 01:51:38,639 caltech 2774 01:51:43,669 --> 01:51:40,480 in pasadena 2775 01:51:45,750 --> 01:51:43,679 and uh visit other institutions so i had 2776 01:51:47,589 --> 01:51:45,760 to get another supervisor so i got up to 2777 01:51:49,589 --> 01:51:47,599 salam 2778 01:51:52,390 --> 01:51:49,599 who was 2779 01:51:53,669 --> 01:51:52,400 at that time a lecturer at st john's 2780 01:51:55,750 --> 01:51:53,679 college 2781 01:51:57,990 --> 01:51:55,760 where direct was 2782 01:52:00,310 --> 01:51:58,000 and uh 2783 01:52:03,109 --> 01:52:00,320 i just did my own thing 2784 01:52:04,950 --> 01:52:03,119 i attended two courses i never took any 2785 01:52:06,709 --> 01:52:04,960 exams 2786 01:52:08,950 --> 01:52:06,719 i didn't bother with that 2787 01:52:11,270 --> 01:52:08,960 but i attended a couple of i attended 2788 01:52:13,830 --> 01:52:11,280 your acts course twice 2789 01:52:16,310 --> 01:52:13,840 because it was brilliant and i just 2790 01:52:18,390 --> 01:52:16,320 called him curious i was fascinated by 2791 01:52:20,629 --> 01:52:18,400 my quantum character myself how was 2792 01:52:22,870 --> 01:52:20,639 direct as a teacher as a lecturer very 2793 01:52:24,550 --> 01:52:22,880 good very clear 2794 01:52:26,390 --> 01:52:24,560 excellent 2795 01:52:30,070 --> 01:52:26,400 did he speak much he has a reputation he 2796 01:52:33,750 --> 01:52:30,080 started off with a loud voice 2797 01:52:37,669 --> 01:52:35,510 to make sure that 2798 01:52:39,910 --> 01:52:37,679 he was being heard 2799 01:52:41,430 --> 01:52:39,920 and then even especially in the back of 2800 01:52:43,350 --> 01:52:41,440 the classroom 2801 01:52:45,350 --> 01:52:43,360 a lot of the students attended 2802 01:52:48,390 --> 01:52:45,360 all the graduate students 2803 01:52:50,229 --> 01:52:48,400 research students attended in physics 2804 01:52:53,510 --> 01:52:50,239 because they were famous 2805 01:52:55,910 --> 01:52:53,520 it's based on his book on coin because 2806 01:52:56,950 --> 01:52:55,920 and then his voice would be so more 2807 01:52:59,109 --> 01:52:56,960 muted 2808 01:53:01,109 --> 01:52:59,119 because he realized that 2809 01:53:05,030 --> 01:53:01,119 people were beginning to that the people 2810 01:53:06,629 --> 01:53:05,040 were able to understand his speech 2811 01:53:08,950 --> 01:53:06,639 anyway uh 2812 01:53:14,149 --> 01:53:12,310 i continued my work on general 2813 01:53:15,270 --> 01:53:14,159 relativity i worked on the equations of 2814 01:53:17,430 --> 01:53:15,280 motion 2815 01:53:19,750 --> 01:53:17,440 general relativity it's what's called 2816 01:53:22,229 --> 01:53:19,760 the einstein for hoffman method 2817 01:53:24,629 --> 01:53:22,239 and i wrote in my unified theory 2818 01:53:26,709 --> 01:53:24,639 this was going to be my thesis 2819 01:53:29,830 --> 01:53:26,719 and then i switched 2820 01:53:34,870 --> 01:53:29,840 to particle physics 2821 01:53:36,390 --> 01:53:34,880 because i was already well ahead with uh 2822 01:53:38,149 --> 01:53:36,400 my 2823 01:53:39,669 --> 01:53:38,159 gravity work 2824 01:53:41,270 --> 01:53:39,679 but i started becoming interested in 2825 01:53:42,229 --> 01:53:41,280 particle physics and quantum field 2826 01:53:44,149 --> 01:53:42,239 theory 2827 01:53:45,830 --> 01:53:44,159 so i started going to be quantified 2828 01:53:47,589 --> 01:53:45,840 theory and 2829 01:53:50,070 --> 01:53:47,599 and uh 2830 01:53:51,910 --> 01:53:50,080 by the way in the first year 2831 01:53:54,870 --> 01:53:51,920 as a student there are about six or 2832 01:53:57,109 --> 01:53:54,880 seven of us 2833 01:53:59,510 --> 01:53:57,119 in the math department and got what's 2834 01:54:01,430 --> 01:53:59,520 called bennett street cambridge 2835 01:54:04,070 --> 01:54:01,440 and um 2836 01:54:06,390 --> 01:54:04,080 we had a room where we kind of could 2837 01:54:08,709 --> 01:54:06,400 beat that big room 2838 01:54:11,030 --> 01:54:08,719 and uh 2839 01:54:13,109 --> 01:54:11,040 so after a year we were told to 2840 01:54:15,030 --> 01:54:13,119 give a lecture we had seminars every 2841 01:54:16,550 --> 01:54:15,040 thursday 2842 01:54:17,510 --> 01:54:16,560 and uh 2843 01:54:19,830 --> 01:54:17,520 i had to 2844 01:54:21,830 --> 01:54:19,840 give a seminar on my work which was on 2845 01:54:23,750 --> 01:54:21,840 quantum field theory 2846 01:54:25,669 --> 01:54:23,760 not gravity 2847 01:54:27,589 --> 01:54:25,679 and uh 2848 01:54:28,870 --> 01:54:27,599 i worked on the actual matrix of quantum 2849 01:54:31,910 --> 01:54:28,880 field theory 2850 01:54:33,350 --> 01:54:31,920 and what's called hagg's theorem 2851 01:54:40,070 --> 01:54:33,360 developed by 2852 01:54:42,870 --> 01:54:40,080 a german physicist called hag rudolf hi 2853 01:54:45,750 --> 01:54:42,880 and paulie worked on this 2854 01:54:48,149 --> 01:54:45,760 hack serum at the time of king park 2855 01:54:51,430 --> 01:54:48,159 so i gave this lecture 2856 01:54:54,149 --> 01:54:51,440 and it was fairly original work 2857 01:55:00,390 --> 01:54:56,629 i used um 2858 01:55:01,990 --> 01:55:00,400 notation of freight freight treatment 2859 01:55:03,589 --> 01:55:02,000 um 2860 01:55:05,910 --> 01:55:03,599 american 2861 01:55:07,910 --> 01:55:05,920 quantum field theorist 2862 01:55:09,270 --> 01:55:07,920 in new york university 2863 01:55:11,910 --> 01:55:09,280 published a book 2864 01:55:13,990 --> 01:55:11,920 so i direct and said to me 2865 01:55:16,629 --> 01:55:14,000 asked a question he said what are those 2866 01:55:18,709 --> 01:55:16,639 around brackets 2867 01:55:20,229 --> 01:55:18,719 i said this is what you call bras and 2868 01:55:22,870 --> 01:55:20,239 kits 2869 01:55:23,830 --> 01:55:22,880 the triangular brackets and he said well 2870 01:55:26,149 --> 01:55:23,840 that's 2871 01:55:27,750 --> 01:55:26,159 very interesting he was fascinated by 2872 01:55:32,629 --> 01:55:27,760 this 2873 01:55:33,350 --> 01:55:32,639 professor friedman anyway so 2874 01:55:35,430 --> 01:55:33,360 so 2875 01:55:37,589 --> 01:55:35,440 uh 2876 01:55:39,030 --> 01:55:37,599 three or three of them were 2877 01:55:41,430 --> 01:55:39,040 failed 2878 01:55:43,189 --> 01:55:41,440 it was pretty brutal 2879 01:55:44,870 --> 01:55:43,199 there was no exam we were just to give 2880 01:55:47,189 --> 01:55:44,880 this lecture on original physics 2881 01:55:51,189 --> 01:55:47,199 research and if you didn't make it you 2882 01:55:56,310 --> 01:55:51,199 were out he was sent down from cambridge 2883 01:56:00,950 --> 01:55:57,589 so 2884 01:56:04,149 --> 01:56:00,960 phd in 1958 2885 01:56:06,790 --> 01:56:04,159 during the course of my work 2886 01:56:08,790 --> 01:56:06,800 i met roy carr 2887 01:56:10,709 --> 01:56:08,800 the current metric 2888 01:56:13,510 --> 01:56:10,719 he came in from new zealand 2889 01:56:15,350 --> 01:56:13,520 to be a trinity college where we would 2890 01:56:17,270 --> 01:56:15,360 became friends 2891 01:56:18,950 --> 01:56:17,280 and so he said what should i do i said 2892 01:56:21,910 --> 01:56:18,960 well 2893 01:56:23,990 --> 01:56:21,920 i said what about physics you know 2894 01:56:25,430 --> 01:56:24,000 he was a brilliant mathematician 2895 01:56:28,310 --> 01:56:25,440 i said well do 2896 01:56:29,990 --> 01:56:28,320 gravity general relativity you don't 2897 01:56:31,430 --> 01:56:30,000 have to worry too much about the physics 2898 01:56:33,430 --> 01:56:31,440 at the moment 2899 01:56:35,270 --> 01:56:33,440 because generality was not that well 2900 01:56:38,709 --> 01:56:35,280 developed at this point we're talking 2901 01:56:43,030 --> 01:56:40,870 so even after einstein died general 2902 01:56:45,030 --> 01:56:43,040 relativity wasn't completely developed 2903 01:56:47,109 --> 01:56:45,040 no so the general relativity that we 2904 01:56:49,109 --> 01:56:47,119 learned in university is the fully 2905 01:56:51,430 --> 01:56:49,119 articulated form that einstein didn't 2906 01:56:53,990 --> 01:56:51,440 even put yeah it was being developed 2907 01:56:55,510 --> 01:56:54,000 still being developed and so 2908 01:56:57,350 --> 01:56:55,520 at the time 2909 01:57:00,870 --> 01:56:57,360 and mathematically speaking and there 2910 01:57:03,270 --> 01:57:00,880 was not enough experimental data you see 2911 01:57:06,629 --> 01:57:03,280 uh it was not that cosmology was an 2912 01:57:08,470 --> 01:57:06,639 infancy during my work i wrote a paper 2913 01:57:11,189 --> 01:57:08,480 by einstein an info 2914 01:57:14,070 --> 01:57:11,199 published in 1949 2915 01:57:15,750 --> 01:57:14,080 and uh infel was a police physicist 2916 01:57:19,189 --> 01:57:15,760 more so 2917 01:57:27,990 --> 01:57:23,189 i found a mistake it was wrong 2918 01:57:30,149 --> 01:57:28,000 so i got all the right gripe and i said 2919 01:57:32,070 --> 01:57:30,159 have a look at this i did the 2920 01:57:34,790 --> 01:57:32,080 calculations 2921 01:57:36,790 --> 01:57:34,800 and uh he looked at he said yeah 2922 01:57:37,669 --> 01:57:36,800 you're right it's wrong 2923 01:57:38,470 --> 01:57:37,679 so 2924 01:57:42,470 --> 01:57:38,480 we 2925 01:57:45,030 --> 01:57:42,480 should do something about this 2926 01:57:47,669 --> 01:57:45,040 and because there was a famous paper 2927 01:57:50,390 --> 01:57:47,679 there was a famous photograph of albert 2928 01:57:52,709 --> 01:57:50,400 einstein at the front of the 2929 01:57:53,990 --> 01:57:52,719 in the front of the paper 2930 01:57:55,990 --> 01:57:54,000 that this was it was the canadian 2931 01:57:57,109 --> 01:57:56,000 journal of mathematics to publish the 2932 01:57:59,669 --> 01:57:57,119 paper 2933 01:58:02,070 --> 01:57:59,679 and this photograph was by kash famous 2934 01:58:06,070 --> 01:58:02,080 photographer called kash 2935 01:58:07,910 --> 01:58:06,080 and uh anyway so uh 2936 01:58:09,830 --> 01:58:07,920 we wrote up this paper and sent it to 2937 01:58:10,950 --> 01:58:09,840 physical review 2938 01:58:12,310 --> 01:58:10,960 it was into 2939 01:58:16,070 --> 01:58:12,320 it was uh 2940 01:58:20,629 --> 01:58:17,910 who was one of einstein's assistants 2941 01:58:22,790 --> 01:58:20,639 that needs to do it at one point 2942 01:58:24,310 --> 01:58:22,800 uh he was editor one of the editors of 2943 01:58:26,070 --> 01:58:24,320 physical review 2944 01:58:28,070 --> 01:58:26,080 and he wrote back saying you can't we 2945 01:58:29,430 --> 01:58:28,080 can't publish this paper 2946 01:58:30,790 --> 01:58:29,440 because it's uh 2947 01:58:32,830 --> 01:58:30,800 best marks 2948 01:58:37,350 --> 01:58:32,840 the reputation of 2949 01:58:40,790 --> 01:58:37,360 famous physicist albert einstein 2950 01:58:43,669 --> 01:58:40,800 so i got upset about that 2951 01:58:47,830 --> 01:58:46,390 i i was kind of angry about that i i was 2952 01:58:50,310 --> 01:58:47,840 at the version of leaving physics like 2953 01:58:53,350 --> 01:58:50,320 that i can't deal with this you know 2954 01:58:55,430 --> 01:58:53,360 so because you have 2955 01:58:56,950 --> 01:58:55,440 responsibility for posterity younger 2956 01:58:59,589 --> 01:58:56,960 physicists who 2957 01:59:01,589 --> 01:58:59,599 can use this work 2958 01:59:04,390 --> 01:59:01,599 so 2959 01:59:07,910 --> 01:59:04,400 i got my phd 2960 01:59:08,629 --> 01:59:07,920 uh they were not happy if i'm i put this 2961 01:59:14,310 --> 01:59:08,639 i 2962 01:59:17,030 --> 01:59:14,320 okay 2963 01:59:18,550 --> 01:59:17,040 and wrote a paper and i put it into my 2964 01:59:20,310 --> 01:59:18,560 phd thesis 2965 01:59:23,109 --> 01:59:20,320 and my examiners were 2966 01:59:24,950 --> 01:59:23,119 not entirely happy about this 2967 01:59:26,950 --> 01:59:24,960 and uh but there wasn't anything they 2968 01:59:28,470 --> 01:59:26,960 could do about it 2969 01:59:31,109 --> 01:59:28,480 so 2970 01:59:35,510 --> 01:59:31,119 uh 2971 01:59:38,229 --> 01:59:35,520 eventually i got my phd without an 2972 01:59:40,310 --> 01:59:38,239 undergraduate degree by the way i was 2973 01:59:42,149 --> 01:59:40,320 i think the one at that time 2974 01:59:43,669 --> 01:59:42,159 maybe still 2975 01:59:46,550 --> 01:59:43,679 the only 2976 01:59:50,390 --> 01:59:46,560 student at trinity to get a phd 2977 01:59:55,270 --> 01:59:51,669 i think 2978 01:59:58,950 --> 01:59:55,280 in theoretical physics anyway i know 2979 02:00:01,910 --> 01:59:58,960 maybe that's still true i don't but um 2980 02:00:04,229 --> 02:00:01,920 um it's always fairly unique 2981 02:00:05,750 --> 02:00:04,239 these examples weren't happy about that 2982 02:00:09,750 --> 02:00:05,760 either of course 2983 02:00:11,990 --> 02:00:09,760 because they had this guinea pig okay 2984 02:00:13,990 --> 02:00:12,000 so to speak who was going through this 2985 02:00:18,149 --> 02:00:14,000 system in cambridge 2986 02:00:20,390 --> 02:00:18,159 it is impossible to do this okay well 2987 02:00:21,270 --> 02:00:20,400 i did it 2988 02:00:22,950 --> 02:00:21,280 so 2989 02:00:26,229 --> 02:00:22,960 uh 2990 02:00:28,070 --> 02:00:26,239 then i got a fellowship from the same 2991 02:00:29,510 --> 02:00:28,080 department industrial scientific 2992 02:00:33,830 --> 02:00:29,520 industrial research 2993 02:00:38,070 --> 02:00:35,669 to a two-year fellowship 2994 02:00:40,390 --> 02:00:38,080 that's why i went to imperial college 2995 02:00:42,149 --> 02:00:40,400 in the meantime after salaam 2996 02:00:43,750 --> 02:00:42,159 was made professor at imperial college 2997 02:00:46,149 --> 02:00:43,760 london 2998 02:00:48,149 --> 02:00:46,159 and here i was i was putting an office 2999

theory 3003 02:00:59,830 --> 02:00:57,360 and uh 3004 02:01:01,189 --> 02:00:59,840 but uh i was worrying about getting a 3005 02:01:04,629 --> 02:01:01,199 job 3006 02:01:07,589 --> 02:01:04,639 at this point i was married 3007 02:01:10,629 --> 02:01:09,270 so i i 3008 02:01:11,589 --> 02:01:10,639 got ahold of 3009 02:01:14,229 --> 02:01:11,599 my um 3010 02:01:17,430 --> 02:01:14,239 correspondent john wheeler prince 3011 02:01:19,750 --> 02:01:17,440 and he suggested apply for childhood an 3012 02:01:22,310 --> 02:01:19,760 institute for research in baltimore 3013 02:01:23,589 --> 02:01:22,320 maryland which i did they offered me a 3014 02:01:26,470 --> 02:01:23,599 job 3015 02:01:28,629 --> 02:01:26,480 so i went there in 1959 3016 02:01:30,470 --> 02:01:28,639 and 3017 02:01:32,950 --> 02:01:30,480 was at this institute 3018 02:01:34,709 --> 02:01:32,960 i was a senior researcher there 3019 02:01:38,149 --> 02:01:34,719 i was doing particle physics and field 3020 02:01:40,149 --> 02:01:38,159 theory they also had a math department 3021 02:01:43,109 --> 02:01:40,159 and uh 3022 02:01:44,870 --> 02:01:43,119 salmonella schliches was the director of 3023

published papers in particle physics 3027 02:02:02,149 --> 02:02:00,239 um 3028 02:02:05,830 --> 02:02:02,159 published a lot of papers rapidly in 3029 02:02:06,790 --> 02:02:05,840 physics particle physics 3030 02:02:08,870 --> 02:02:06,800 then i 3031 02:02:10,629 --> 02:02:08,880 was offered a job at university of 3032 02:02:14,229 --> 02:02:10,639 toronto 3033 02:02:16,229 --> 02:02:14,239 as an associate professor already 3034 02:02:19,030 --> 02:02:16,239 with the promise of being my full 3035 02:02:21,430 --> 02:02:19,040 professor within a couple of years which 3036 02:02:23,189 --> 02:02:21,440 again is very unusual 3037 02:02:24,860 --> 02:02:23,199 and 3038 02:02:27,030 --> 02:02:24,870 i got a job there 3039 02:02:30,070 --> 02:02:27,040 [Music] 3040 02:02:32,390 -->
