what's going on you beautiful minds my name's dylan zanz i'm a physicist from
the land down under make sure you hit that like button to feed that glorious algorithm
and help me get this video in front of other beautiful minds let's jump straight into it
oh dark matter we better bring a flashlight
fyi we still have no idea what dark matter is focus all right let's buckle down and work
what i need an aspirin top desk drawer
thank you all right yes good
so i've already seen this clip before as well but
yeah that is exactly what it's like to do physics pretty much
you will not have much idea what to do a lot of the time and it feels like you get not much done
someone touched my board
oh god my board
are you sure of course i'm sure look at the beta function of quantum chromodynamics the
sign's been changed doesn't that fix the problem you've been having you're welcome
you did this now you can show that quarks are asymptotically free at high energies
pretty cool huh cool you hold on hold on who told you you could touch my board yeah i don't
come into your house and touch your board there are no incorrect equations on my board oh that
is so i'm sorry i gotta run if you come up with an adjective text inconsiderate that is the adjective
inconsistent so this qcd she just mentioned stands for quantum chromodynamics which is a type
of quantum field theory and it's the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons
and quarks you know make up like things like protons and neutrons so they're very the smallest
thing we currently have evidence for right and this asymptotic freedom that she mentioned
well it's this weird thing where when quarks get closer together the force between them actually
gets smaller and when they move further apart when you go to really high energies
quarks are free so asymptotic freedom isn't a really good friend
i mean i'm guessing he's not looking for a fling he's the kind of guy that gets into a
relationship for i don't know like you would say light years doesn't matter i would not say that
no one would say that a light year is a unit of distance not time that nine trillion kilometers
physics is all we're cut out for if we weren't physicists what would we be i don't know popular
story of my life rip this sort of thing happens higgs had to wait almost 50 years before
they built a collider big enough to prove his theory 50 years well i want to play with it now
they're talking about the lhc the large hadron collider and you might have seen the news
floating around earlier this year about a new fifth force of nature potentially being found
and yes this is the case there is a lot of misinformation that goes around generally
about physics but this one is true and it is looking really exciting and it's about a one
in forty thousand chance that this was a fluke they simply found that these muons were wobbling
too fast they should have been wobbling slower and so it is potentially a new force of nature
there's already four we know of gravity electromagnetism the strong and weak force
gravity however we don't even know how it fits into this standard model we're kind of just
like yeah let's just leave gravity over here for now we'll come back to it later oh you're
so arrogant if you're a superhero your name would be captain arrogant and you know what your
superpower would be arrogance if my superpower were arrogant my name would be dr aragonto
if you look at neutron scanning okay penny what's up nothing i just wanted to make raj stop talking
i know what you're wondering are there people like sheldon in physics the answer is yes everyone in
physics is like sheldon just to a much less degree and kind of orthogonally and what i mean by that
is everyone in physics pretty much has social anxiety and are socially inept to a degree but
what you don't find in physicists uh is like a big ego like sheldon it relates to einstein's quote
ego equals one over knowledge the more you know the more you realize you don't know and so your
ego deflates and you realize you know you should be uncertain of just about everything we think we
know and that's problematic in society because humans tend to think if someone sounds really
confident if they deliver it with confidence they must know what they're talking about they must be
right and unfortunately you know a physicist has gone down that path of uncertainty like i
mentioned and they realize i don't know much so they don't try to sound too confident in
anything they say and so to the average lay person they come across like they don't know anything
you can see why that's problematic you've got all the people in society who think they know things
you know sounding really confident and then you've got the rest of the population believing these
people because of this confidence thing and then you've got the people over here progressing our
society with science and technology but no one listens to because they don't sound confident
and i cannot believe people pay for horoscopes but on a more serious note it's 813 and we're
still not playing halo i'll play great idea no the wheel was a great idea this is a complex
battle simulation with a steep learning curve there are myriad weapons vehicles and strategies
to master not to mention an extremely intricate backstory teddy you are on fire yes so is sheldon
okay that's it i don't know how but she is cheating you laugh now
you just wait until you need tech support
okay i have a problem it's called carpal tunnel syndrome and quite frankly you deserve it
so this is actually pretty funny because i'm kind of obsessed with halo as well
and it might have actually been the thing that got me involved like interested in space
i remember when halo 4 came out i had my final like year 12 in australia as our final year
had my final english exam ever i hated english and halo 4 came out the the the day of the exam
so i was you know like the midnight release so i went and got the game at midnight and i played it
all night didn't sleep and then i went and did the finished the english exam didn't do very
well obviously think this through you're going to ask howard to choose between sex and halo
no i'm going to ask him to choose between sex and halo 3. definitely i've said in the other
videos how inaccurate sheldon is as a physicist and here i am sounding exactly like sheldon
