The future of particle physics | Particle physicist Harry Cliff

Particle physicist Harry Cliff discusses some of the greatest anomalies in physics and astronomy and how they have brought the disciplines forward.

What do you think we might discover next?

The more we understand the world, the more it seems to unravel into larger and more complex mysteries that may well be unsolvable. Join Cambridge particle physicist and CERN hadron collider researcher, Harry Cliff, to explore the fascinating anomalies and oddities that confound scientists. From unpredictable orbits around the sun to dilemmas over the smallest substances, Cliff takes you through the many mysteries of physics and argues that there is a limit to what science can and will uncover.

Click bait, indeed. The title kept me engaged throughout the first 15 mins, thinking I would hear something about the future of particle physics. There was nothing new until the speaker was cut off in mid-sentence at 15:48 when most of us lost access.

8:13 "Space time is a physical dynamical object that can be stretched and bent."
This assertion has always disturbed me. It suggests an Aether and that space (void) and time are fundamental components upon which the universe is built. I can't reconcile that with other aspects of Relativity. It leads me to think that they were really unsure about what space and time is back when this was created and kind of mashed a few different concepts together.

This post title is a total LIE. It isn't about the FUTURE of particle physics, it's about the HISTORY of particle physics, which I've heard 1000 times before. I pass...

This is not a talk its an undeclared advert for iai TV -

Where do thoughts / awareness / consciousness fit into the pie chart of the universe (atoms/ dark matter / dark energy?) thank you 🙏

[stephenbrickwood]

46 minutes each year is 1 in a million difference. 😊😊

[MarkSlaterMusic]

I often wished I could understand general relativity, beyond the easy version. But it really has no relevance to life and the circular logic of why we do anything.

[stephenbrickwood]

Space time is distorted way beyond what we can see.
We can see radio waves now and gravitational waves, so we need a better way to see.

If gravitational effects are produced by the curvature of space/time, are the effects ubiquitous, in that the gravitational effect of, say, EARTH, is felt across the entire universe at the present local time and universal time?

10:31 Beyond MOND. BEC and electric coupling from lines. The parts of electric universe theory people use and that have been proven. Casimir arrays to help with phased density of space. Particle production from quantum foam and gravitational waves and energy density regimes. Neutrino density, ect.. Even using all the viable possibilities there is more to find. Parts of dark energy and matter overlap from the framing. Work being done in space, energy density and curved space time and short lived particles and such. Or at least that's how I see it. Everything viable and it still points to more to find.

15:48 Test for quantum. Tunable metamaterial for slits and the orbital energy levels for band manipulation. A rainbow added for extra gradient mapping. Nice you went over hydrogen lines. But gets to my point of a type of test to find out which type for further descriptions.

One othrr thing to look at. The valley of stability for antimatter and the imbalances from the matter side. Weight, isotopes, life time/decay rates, shorter vs. Longer valleys and such.

Mercury "anomaly" is simply explained by oblateness of sun with Newtonian physics.

[Mentaculus]

8:03 “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE FORCE OF GRAVITY”!

Einstein wrote:

"It is wrong to think that 'geometrization' is something essential. It is only a kind of crutch [Eselsbrücke] for the finding of numerical laws.

Whether one links 'geometrical' intuitions with a theory is a ... private matter." (Letter to Reichenbach, April 8, 1926, as quoted by Lehmkuhl in 10.1016/ j.shpsb.2013.08.002 .)

Hmm, how gravity is “interpreted” has significant implications.

[yojihagiya]

My own view is that the reason Mercury's perihelion shift cannot be accurately calculated by Newtonian physics is that the displacement of the perihelion shift is probably due to the drag from the sun's rotation.

The sun is a celestial body of enormous size. It is obvious that as the Sun rotates on its axis, its gravitational pull drags Mercury along with it.

In Newtonian physics, calculations are performed by considering celestial bodies as points. So, Newton's physics could not reflect the drag of the sun's rotation in the calculation results.

By the way, does Einstein take into account the drag caused by the sun's rotation?

From the above article, it is clear that he did not take it into account.

Nevertheless, the calculations are correct, and we can only conclude that the theory of relativity is, after all, a bogus theory.

[superfliping]

There's no symmetry in the dark energy and dark matter. Think Ying Yang, or mathematical equations what ever you have one one side must have = mathematical equations on the other side to make physical principles realistic

[WendyCarrey]

Harry my Love. You are a wonderful man. You remind me of all the Special People in my Life.

[Carfeu]

Einstein didn’t do the math alone, Mileva Maric did plenty of it.

[spaceinyourface]

Just as it was getting interesting !!!😢

[executivesteps]

France in 1846? What is “two hours away”? By train, by car or horse carriage. Stupid metric. Just tell us how far away it is.

clickbait. the rest of the talk is behind a paywall
