Sheldon Cooper is seriously not a great lecturer 🤣... Thankyou BBC .. Finally I understood string theory a little bit.

This might seem like a crazy theory, you need to know the other dimensions of String Theory and how they interact together before things start to get interesting. I'll skip the 3 known dimensions because everyone with 5 or more brain cells already knows what they are, let's focus on how fascinating and possible this could be. This is just my simplified explanation of these, I highly suggest you research this theory with an open mind.

The other dimensions aside from the 3 we know of are as follows.

Time is the 4th dimension

The Probability of other Universes existing is the 5th dimension

All possible Universes branch out from the same starting point. For example if our universe came from the big bang then all other universes were created under the same conditions.This is the 6th dimension.

All possible spectrums of Universes with different start conditions is the 7th dimension. Meaning there's a universe where Gravity repells instead of attracts, a Universe where fire is cold instead of hot, a Universe where Magic is real, a Universe where light speed is faster and a Universe where its slower. Basically every Universe will have different sets of limitations, the Laws of Physics could be completely different in one Universe and a Universe with no rules or restrictions whatsoever.

A plane where all possible Universes have different start conditions is the 8th dimension

Direct movement from one multiverse to another non-adjacent multiverse with different start conditions is the 9th dimension.

Infinite Possibilities is the 10th dimension

Now when I first researched this it sounded completely over the top and far fetched. But if you research all these dimensions in greater detail, the more sense it makes. Every dimension individually might not make sense but all together you do start to wonder.
Having more then 4 dimensions makes more sense Mathematicly,

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, you have to think along the lines of Energy frequency and vibration.
--Nikola Tesla

Maybe you've herd of this theorem before.
"If you have infinite Monkeys at infinite typewriters, one will eventually result in the complete works of Shakespeare"

And as crazy as this may seem if Star Wars or Lord of the Rings was imagined by someone, then there could be Universes with that actually happening, the chances are low obviously but not 0 chance.

For example, The odds of winning the lottery 2 times in a row are very low and remote, but not impossible. Its the same concept just on a larger more infinite scale.

Parallel universes is one of the key elements. The CMB or Cosmic Microwave Background was detected and mapped they found an anomaly known as the "cold spot". Located in the "Eridanus" constellation, The temperature of this thing is 2.7 k lower then the rest of the CMB, the most intriguing thing was its size, its about 1.3 billion light years across, and it was originally believed it to be just a massive Supervoid but no evidence has been found to prove this.
It might be from the impact of another Universe colliding with ours. Until a better theory rises to explain this thing, the Parallel universe theory is the best theory to go with at this point.

I'm tired of Science making all these presumptions about what is impossible.
and then get proven wrong, examples of what was thought to be impossible are numerous.
-Spaceflight
-Nanotechnology
-Heavier then air flight
-PCs and the internet
-Breaking the sound barrier
-Harnessing Nuclear energy
-That no other galaxies existed outside our own
-Warm Superconductors
-Black Holes
-The existence of Anti-matter
-64 bit processors
-Burning CDs and DVDs
-Wi-fi
-Televison Sets
-DVR technology
-The earth was flat

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics."
-Albert Einstein

Thanks for sharing! I love this video!

[susanne]

This video gives me vibes of decades past ... String theory is as of now not replacing the standard model anytime soon.

[imranrahman]

HELP!! HELP!! HELP NEEDED!! The thing that I want to KNOW is: I need to know if by our(worlds) current knowledge do we know what type of "Spin, charge, mass and Interaction mediated" does the undefined Fermions and Bosons of superstring theory have? If so then can you provide me with a chart of them please! And do the known Antiparticles of known the particles counts among the undefined Fermions and Bosons of super-string theory (i.s excluding 12 types of Fermions and 6 types of Bosons) ?
Please if anyone have the answer then I sincerely pray and hope that you will provide me with the information and documents that I asked for or at least direct me a guideline for collecting them Please! I need them to complete my thesis.
Thank you!

A hybrid of quantum space, this is the theory of ether + theory of quantum strings = quanta of membranes (such as rosebuds). It will turn out 1) the quantum Universe from chaos. 2) Universe from quantum fractals. 3) The visible Universe is on the border between fractal and chaos. Volume - the quantum space of the Universe, depends on the seasonally opening working quantum of membranes, so that any quantum particle through the chaos of the quantum of membranes is washed away simultaneously in the entire Universe, but through the fractals of the quantum of the membrane, smooth spaces, you can determine the place where the quantum is likely to very often be particle.

[quantumofspace]

The energy of antimatter at the beginning of the appearance of the visible Universe for some reason passed into the volumes of flat space, then the growth of space went according to a different scenario.
V = (i / t) T
 V - is the volume of space in the visible Universe.
t - is the heating energy of the visible Universe.
T - is the selected time of existence of the visible Universe.
I - constant (unknown)

Give Sheldon Cooper his real Nobel 😂
I enjoyed it.

[radinelaj]

The point is : what is the edge between the quarks and the strings line filaments, you should solve this, this is the point.

Not even a narration credit for Hannah Fry?

2:10 Michio Kaku never fails to inject some religion.

[brianlaudrupchannel]

I still don't understand how this really explains anything

[selfseeker]

From the beginning
Vedic sages preaching monism, not monotheism.
There is only one thing that exists in reality is "existence - conciousness -bliss"(Sath chit Ananda), But due to ignorance of mind it is appearing as diversity.

How did the universe come ?
Upanishads(Vedic texts) :
Brahma satyam - Jagath mithya.
This universe didn't exist, this is an illusion created by mind, time, space are just perceptions of mind, it is like a dream, just wake up from this dream and realise the true self, Because of your self identification with body, mind, intellect it appears like it exists.

[ihgcdtl]

I’m sure God created string theory. It’s hugely complex yet wonderfully simple.

[radinelaj]

, sorry, you didn't find out any thing, you just maximized the problem, but didn't found the point ( the essence) you just extend the problem, you just carried the problem to another ( smaller) size , you should find the edge between particles and strings, the connection between them, ( in that connection there is another edge, in that edge there is another edge..and so on...deeper and deeper on the edge there is another edge and deeper there is another edge and deeper there is another edge...and so on, how many edges are?! Where did this process ends ?! this is the point, hope you understand

[NitzVision]

Why u guys don't talk about theory given by ancient Hindus...according Hindu theory everything persent in the world was always been there ..it's just that it's changes its forms ...it's SANATANA means it's wasn't born ..it was always been like this ...idea of birth or formation is itself wrong
Nothing can be born ..it's just energy and vibration who change its firm and shape

[trevorbates]

There is a place for string theory but it isn't the whole story. Plasma or God's Living Waters delivers the whole theory. It revolves around a material that is invisible in its purest form but can be extruded through an imploding higgs field and either be cut into lumps of atomic particle size else kicked away from the that higgs field at the speed of light...it is the same force in each case. This plasma can be cloud form when invisible, particle form when kicked by the higgs field, else wave form when reverting to cloud form. This is where the string theory comes in to the equation because it is the wave that twangs like a string.

[kathieprater]

I don't believe that there has ever been, nor will there ever be a human being who has enough intelligence to be able to understand how the entirety of creation came to be/functions/exists. If such a human existed he/she would be a madman/madwoman. Its far too much information for what our brains are capable of.

Horsesh*t. Everybody knows we live on a turtle shell.
