Proton Decay: How much time we have left? Joe Rogan & Brian Greene #1428

Join Joe Rogan and physicist Brian Greene as they explore the fascinating concept of proton decay and its implications for the future of matter. Discover how quantum processes within protons could eventually lead to their disintegration, resulting in a universe devoid of complex matter. Brian uses the Empire State Building as a metaphorical timeline, where each floor represents a duration ten times longer than the previous one. Find out where we currently stand on this timeline and learn about the projected timeline for proton decay. Will protons decay by the 38th floor, ten to the power of 38 years into the future? Tune in to unravel the mysteries of time and the potential fate of matter. #ProtonDecay #FutureOfMatter #EmpireStateBuildingTimeline #QuantumPhysics #BrianGreene

Good thing it's 10^38, because if it was 10^37 - we'd be screwed.

[gangalo]

What a great way of visualizing time 👍

[Pamelaandjoulepii]

Our best THEORIES… it’s really super natural 🙏🏽

[LNightLearning]

Why explain exponentiation with the exponents? I would have been better off if he said "Yea its like the last 10 billion years are the Empire State Building and this would be a billion times the width of the known universe" he went backwards in simplification xD

[Novarcharesk]

Just say trillions of years? Also, it is only speculation that protons decay

[teratokomi]

Sounds like your "best theories" have a long way to go before they get proven.

[mandelorean]

Exponential math insane to mentally fathom

[ikat_tracer]

That is a notoriously bad example because 38th floor in contrast to 10th floor doesn't mean almost 3 times longer, but more like 10 Octoquintignillion times longer.

We are talking with massive units here.

[allyal]

So what he’s saying is tht one day there will be nothing????
THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT OF CREATION????

[kariwog]

That would make sense if we didn't have black holes as a filtration system, growth, life and rejuvenation. Cells die but are built, atoms disintegrate and rebuilds and so will protons. The quarks thay make up protons will build more protons. Protons don't exist without quarks so you have to determine a quark decay rate but even then, where do quarks come from, the particle field it is associated it. So even these particles fields will release more particles to make fresh quarks. You have to prove that particles come out used and not fresh. That I've never heard with evidence.

Hate when people try and simplify with analogies when the answer is a number… the simplest form of answer that exists.
100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 years.

[KaliFissure]

Protons never decay.
They are the primordial black holes. Minimal black holes.
And because they are perforations across the temporal membrane, they create charge. The very real outflow of mass free space through protons creates the charge of the proton and the electron.

The absolute volume of the universe is both infinite and fixed.
A flow out at a proton creates the inflow, which is the electron. The proton has rotation, and so has inertia plus outflow, creating convergence of flows.
The electron, being a large space, allows is divergence. The AdS. Expansive. And mass is contained local condensing.dS

Neutron decay cosmology is inevitable.
It is GR. Each single infinitesimal Planck rotation there is a Lambda worth of action. The condensation of gravity equaled by....a single neutron decaying in the deepest void. It's math.

The neutron contacts very real event horizon. A membrane of light propagating 90° to everything. A giant single neutron, almost. Dirac neutron.
When the neutron, with the surface curve a large as possible. Curl itself.
Contacts the flatness of the event horizon, there is a tension, and the neutron decays there at the point of LEAST energy.

[jackulousb]

You know how beta particles can change a proton into a neutron? (this happens frequently in nitrogen in the atmosphere creating Carbon-14) do you think that protons can be recycled and reset that decaying process?

[Baconbeerify]

We’ve of course never actually seen this happen, can’t possibly measure it, don’t know anything about what will happen after, and aren’t really even sure if this is a real possibility, but yes we are serious scientists and we know what we are talking about. What a joke.

[danmiller]

Entropy is his god. Everything disintegrates without the Creator to hold it together.

[jamesward]

You think, bad thinking
The creator has the answer. Read the Bible😊

[StuartHollingsead]

Who is to say it doesnt reform into something else?
After all, evolution is founded on this idea. Is he saying evolution and mt improbable are wrong?

[alistairmills]

I think my brain protons just disintegrated listening to this guy waffle-on in speculation about something a gazillion years away. Usefulness = Zero

[JC-deik]

They say the universe will last 37 0's long in years. 10^37. Hes saying its longer. It's basically infinity. Perspectively it is infinite. Almost literally once you try to comprehend how much time that really is. This universe isn't made for us. We possibly will end before the true reign of the universe of black holes. They'll have more time in the universe than any other type of life or matter. Is this a simulation?

[DirtRoadFarmers]

So basically, it's just mumbo jumbo...
