This is a damn good rundown of that entire field and the interplay between math and imagination

[alexwood]

I really like calling an equation a “Little concrete poem”

[antonylawrence]

I’d soak up any of his lectures, and for a brief moment feel minutely brighter !

[barcibus]

Yes, but the equations are models, and sometimes that is forgotten and we just assume that everywhere they lead is correct. You have to check.

This is one of the coolest shorts I've ever seen in my entire life. Physics has been my side passion ever since I majored in college. I never got to finish that degree but learning to see the world like a physicist changed my life

[mpjstuff]

I think we can boil this down to; "once you find out the rules of how one thing works, you can extrapolate."

[variation]

This is actually kind of an incredible idea. To learn more, understand what we already know.

[chris]

The math and the universe are truly beautiful, I only wish I were smart enough to understand either.

This guy always sounds to me like some bizarre love child of Fozzy Bear and Kermit the frog!

[VijaySingh-jqpe]

I have a little gripe with that and please feel free to shred it to pieces anyone - the equation is a representation of something that already exists! So the physical reality knew or rather has everything intrinsically we just discover it and explain it to others. Just this episode of Closer to Truth by Robert L Kuhn keeps coming back to me - Is Math and beauty intrinsic or imposed?

[MikeBegley-op]

Why not white holes? Does everything have to be black

[Chewy]

The equation describes what we see. It's not necessarily the whole picture.

[amonkey]

One thing will always leads to another thing

This is the problem with physics these days, we over rely on equations and the science of experimental discovery seems to have been lost.
I have a big problem with theories where assumptions are made then simply built upon again and again with little thought about the validity of those assumptions.
When I studied physics back in the day !, there was a big focus on experimental verification. I am saddened by the new RIDICULOUS theories coning out of the mouths of so called respected physicists, e.g. we live in a giant computer simulation or that there are multiple universes each with a different version of us in them ! I cannot believe physicists have let these people run with these stupid ideas which have no basis other than in science fiction movies. Why is a science pandering to Hollywood?

The most important 3 degrees of motion in human history is that Newton put it together, and when you do what he did, it speaks a beautiful language also .
But of 1st position Newton 2nd Einstein 3rd sir bacon reorientate bottom up inside out ( Richard finneman) so well articulated about what can be asked about a system and certain precautions can be said or predicted

[nayaknaresh]

I think the criticism the British Royal Society offered the mathematician Ramanujan was that the equations he put out there were not derived through an elaborate mathematical method, and they asked him to derive them. So he sat down with the British mathematician G H Hardy to prove some of what he articulated as equations.

I do not see this same criticism being applied to Einstein.

By the way mathematicians today are at work even today proving both Ramanujan’s equations & Einstein’s equations.

As a Tamil Hindu Brahmin, Ramanujan had a spiritual bent of mind. He would say that the goddess Namagiri would inspire him to formulate these equations.

In both Einstein & Ramanujan’s cases, I do not think they could humanly using their physical brains derive these complex equations, many of which are now proven correct. Perhaps Ramanujan was right about an extraneous paranormal force guiding him to formulate these ultra complex, multidimensional equations.

"bla bla bla, send money" -today's "scientist"

[jonashjerpe]

You forgot about all the auxilliary conditions that are necessary in order to infer, explain and predict anything at all. In and of themselves the equations are empty, they bear no relation to reality at all.
