Pls don’t break gravity, I was using that

[quantumkath]

I vividly recall the privilege of attending a public lecture at the Perimeter Institute years ago, where I had the opportunity to witness Claudia de Rham speak about gravity. Good stuff.

[douglasbroccone]

I watch without understanding, but admire those that do

[TheMikesylv]

Curt asks the best questions “What is the definition of force “ anyone else probably would have asked “what is the definition of gravity “ I just have so much admiration for him, his interviews are such a pleasure to watch

[ricardop]

You should put her name on the title of the video, just like you did for Niel Turok, that is how I got to know him and remember his name.

[GymAndSun]

Gravity is not doing my face any favors, thank you lady! 👏

[BillboBaggins]

Gravity is one of the fundamental forces in the universe. But have you thought about what you get when you remove it?

*gravy, you get gravy.

[sinPi]

A few questions:
1. How does massive gravity explain time? Rest of the forces in QM seem to not care about time, so how does the existence of a massive graviton explain time at the micro scale, or is time emergent? From what?
2. Does the graviton have an anti particle? What does it do, gravitationally speaking?
3. How does massive gravity resolve the singularity problem at the center of a black hole?
4. If the graviton's mass indeed decrease over time, does this mean we could detect that from primordial gravitational waves?

Thanks.

Higgs bath... Cmon man... Just call it the aether.

[bigron]

Us humans are funny creatures...The more we learn...the less we know

[nomadchad]

I went to her excellent talk at the royal institution, looking forward to this.

[foulwin]

I'm going to assume that since a question was asked if everything we know about gravity is wrong. The answer is no. Because every time someone asked a question like that, the answer is no.

[mrudo]

Offtopic : the Ghostbusters soundtracks was a ripped off of The song "I need a new drug"

[garypippenger]

I hope Sabine will digest this first and record her impressions soon. Anyway, new ideas by serious people are a good thing. After all, physicists have been arguing about whether anything is real or not!

[markslist]

My favorite individual show under the TOE series. A stunning inquiry.

[midnightwatchman]

As much as a lot of people love relativity and amaze by it but almost everybody feels it is wrong.

[TheMemesofDestruction]

Just finished listening to Professor De Rham's Perimeter Talk. Great timing! ^.^

[theshiled]

Whether she is right or wrong, one needs to appreciate those who think out of the box and break the mainstream thesis. That's the way to achieve progress when everything else reaches a dead end.

[maha-madpedo-gayphukumber]

If you broke gravity i ain't buying you new one
