Respect to him, he's re-enacting the early history of scientific enquiry completely alone. Give him a few hundred years and he'll catch up to modern science.

Fluidic space? That's where species 8472 comes from!

Sounds,to me, that he has "discovered" the aether.

Honestly, I respect him in this regard: science ignorance is far more forgivable than science denial. I appreciate the curiosity at least. Excellent video as always!

west peak of mount dunning-kruger ok, i am so going to steal that, that's amazing

You get enthusiastic revolutionaries like this in a lot of fields. It's a bit of a recurring theme in a forum I'm in relating to data compression - every one and then someone comes in with a revolutionary new idea. Sometimes their revolutionary new idea is something which can be mathematically proven to be impossible. I've come up with a few ideas such myself, but I know enough to set up proper testing and so far the most any have achieved is to very slightly enhance existing algorithms while doubling the CPU usage. Most fields now have reached the stage of maturity where the lone genius just isn't going to be enough to make an advance - you need a whole team.

He might misunderstand physics, but I admire his enthusiasm. I hope he takes that and studies properly.

To solve the schrodinger equation, do the following: ank your 4th dimension frequency to the 5th dimension frequency. Once you reach that singularity at the precision of the equinox you are able to excess the akasha records, finding all information there. To come back you have to activate your merkaba.

Re: about 7:40, the topic of quantum mechanics appearing late in curriculum; the physics course at the college I went to that taught the very basics of quantum physics had 3 semesters of calculus and two of physics as prerequisites for it. With the exception of electron spin, which was brought up once during the lecture about the magnetic force, the first full year of physics lectures is based entirely on classical mechanics. If it takes that much education to be able to _learn_ the very basics of the field, it's incredibly short-sighted to claim to be able to teach it with even less experience

I kind of get where these "I have a new idea that will revolutionise X field" people are coming from. I read a lot of stuff about QED a few years back. It really piqued my interest. I don't have the maths to fully understand everything, but I can understand the concepts and follow the conclusions if the maths is laid out for me. Anyway, I thought I'd found something that all the best physicists had missed. It seemed to make perfect sense, and might even be the beginning of a possible explanation for dark energy... and of course, when I asked a real expert they were able to point out why it was not correct. I had misunderstood a tiny piece of the puzzle, but one that was very, very relevant to my idea. But for that couple of days when I thought I had something, it felt great. Of course, I accepted it when somebody with greater knowledge showed me my mistake, whereas some people will just double down. But I can kind of see why they do it. Still, I'd rather be correct than hold on to that excitement. And I learned a lot from that mistake.

An Aquarium Filled With Water and HydroGel Beads. I thought it was Ice at first. lol

For a moment, I thought this would be another smackdown of Terryology, but this is alright, too 👍

At least I can respect his attempt at understanding the world instead of shrugging and going "god dun it". What he lacks can be resolved by a several years at a proper university to give him the knowledge base to build off of.

I have made only 3 major breakthroughs in my differential algebra research. 1997 September 24 I discovered my Powersum Formula for Differential Resolvents of Arbitrary Univariate Polynomials 1999 April I discovered how to factor most terms in the differential resolvent given by my Powersum Formula 2022 December 23 I discovered to factor the remaining terms in the differential resolvent given by my Powersum Formula, and even then a LOT of work remains to be done to simply that factorization 2023-2024 I have worked in a different direction: trying to find finite sequences of intermediate differential variables that solve linear Picard Vessiot extensions over the variables below them that will solve polynomial ODEs And then there is my Mathematical Metatheory of Justice (MMToJ) that has nothing at all to do with differential algebra, but is an extension of basic set theory and game theory to capture the idea of logical consistency and inconsistency of beliefs. I know how insanely hard it is to come up with some idea that is 1. truly new, not considered before 2. nontrivial: a significant result 3. practical, useful.

Harsh, but honest review of that person's ideas. This is science at work. Now I hope that that person has the humility and foresight to take this as an opportunity to educate himself further and in small steps understand what he tried to do better.

Without Professional Physics Educators How Would We.... Help me out here Folks, I'm drawing a Blank. XD Fiiiine Martymer..... you're useful enough for us to keep you around a while longer.

When I was first reading (and watching documentaries, series, KZfaq videos...) about QM, I was rather concerned that the concept of the tiny size of the subatomic particles _didn't_ freak me out. There were famous physicists saying that they couldn't imagine it, that trying to picture it screwed with their minds, but I could. Initially I thought it might have something to do with my synaesthesia. I "see" what I hear, usually music but not always, so I guessed that my "third eye" (it's how I describe where I "see" sounds) was making it up to "help". Whereas I cannot prove that to be untrue, I eventually realised that I just didn't understand enough to _be_ freaked out! Sometimes you just need to realise what you truly understand and what you don't. General rule of thumb - if you think you understand something declared to be difficult without such difficulty, you're either a greater than Einstein genius, or you completely missed the point. Chances are, it's the latter.

The author of the mentioned book, "A saucerful of science", apparently also is not a real physicist - he describes himself as an "independent researcher", apparently is not employed at any university, and I can't find anything about his actual education. So that he mentioned someone in his book is not a good recommendation at all. :D

Another good resource is MIT's Open Courseware. This is basically entire semesters of courses recorded and available for anyone to watch. Definitely worth checking out.

Your honesty is really admirable, Martymer, and you are kind to share what you have learned. To the aspiring scientist: your fervor is admirable, too.

Honestly, when I listen to some debunking videos it’s humbling to understand how little I do know, despite not worst of educations. And it’s sad that people who knows less than me try to pretend like they know more than professionals or experts.

"This video is no available anymore"

My degree is in stage art and has nothing to do with physics. But at the theatre academy they told us something that feels fitting in this context. “It is ok to break the rules. But you have to know the rules before you break them”

I think it's possible for someone without a formal education to contribute to a field. For example, a friend of mine used to volunteer at archeological digs. Another example is back when I was in school a group of astronomers had set up a website where anyone could analyze images from a dataset looking for exoplanets.

11:52 _"You are NOT prepared!"_

Awesome, another Terrence Howard. Just what we needed.

It's like watching Howard playing a role of himself. Only this guy can do math. But the "space is filled with pressure" stuff, etc... spot on.

@16:40, you really wanted to say "Dumb it down" but managed to hold it in in case anyone thought you were insulting them. 😂

To be fair, most people wouldn't benefit from advanced science education. Also, there are "lay scientists" and "lay engineers" that are brilliant. But for every brilliant one, there are many more like the man in the video.

if the fluid had 0 viscosity i think orbits world work.

"You may have learned about this fact and this fact and you have developed a model that fits those three, but what about all those facts over here?" That's the same issue the flat earth community has. They don't seem to try and figure out how their model would actually work; instead they just focus on objections and work out models that "defuse" those particular objections. As a result, they have 30 different partial models, each addressing a different objection, but those all don't work together as a coherent whole that covers all the facts at the same time.

Has anyone ever thought about turning debunking pseudoscience into a stand-up routine that comes with the disclaimer: "Caution - You Might Learn Something"? I always thought Bill Nye should have tried stand-up, go on tour or do shows like Eddie Murphy's Raw and Delirious complete with all the "filth, flarn, flarn, filth" using pseudoscience as his punchline.

Did he… Yeah. He did. He re-invented the luminiferous æther theory.

For me it is less the accent, and more the recording environment. 3 times to figure out what he was saying. Edit: You get about 0.01% of mass from Higgs Field. The rest is good old E=mc^2. Also, he may mean spacetime rather than outer space, but he's still wrong in all the ways that matter. (If space went "around" objects, i don't even -where do those objects exist and how do they occupy volume?) My first suggestion to him would be: Don't measure things with your eyeballs. Do not move you thing in fluid using your arm, which is inconsistent in so many ways.

I want to ask these people if they can solve ANY problem in a Physics Textbook, that involves a bit of calculus. Or I just won't take them serious.

@6:41 That's demon script right there! Marty tryna summon Beelzboob or Mefrisco! Math is numbers and letters, who you tryin to fool?!

"West peak ..." Gonna steal that term, and use it without explanation whenever anyone says a stupid.

@2:17 I am the person described here, except, I am painfully aware of how little I know, and how much there is that I don't know. And the ass of it is, I do _not know_ how to go about rectifying this. About 18 months-2 years ago, I accidentally epiphan..ied my way into suddenly "understanding" a simplistic but, I worry, unfalsifiable (I'm too ignorant to know how to falsify it), conceptual framework for the universe, that for me made "sense" of the following: The 'beginning' of the universe The 'heat death' of the universe The continuous expansion of the universe Why we can't accelerate things beyond a certain point Why an accelerated thing would necessarily gain mass Time dilation being a thing Decay existing Black holes dissipating ostensibly via radiation And, in my attempts to undo the effects that this epiphany had upon my "understanding" of the universe, I tried to come up with some "prediction" of something that I believe should occur within this 'framework', and fully anticipated I'd discover something that would break it, allowing me to get on with enjoying popular lay people science shows and armchair philosophy, like I used to. I failed. I discovered the 'thing' I tried to test my simplistic stupidity with, is a thing, it has a name, zero-point energy. I was specifically hoping to find that my idea about what I would expect to find at the extremes of the small / cold of known reality were face palmingly backwards. Apparently not. And I genuinely don't know how to proceed. I have no higher education, I'm not remotely capable with maths, and I am very aware that I could easily end up confirmation biasing my ass into believing I'm a god damned genius, start up my own KZfaq channel, and confidently spew my wooey, horse crap "science" explanation for all of reality, a fate I wish to avoid. In all seriousness though, I have been genuinely distressed by this. I don't even know what questions I could ask to allow me fix it. Well, I have two questions but I don't think they can help, I don't know enough to understand why the answers make sense. Why is it even a question that the expansion of the universe is a thing? I honestly do not understand why this isn't what is expected, or why anyone would expect anything different. Why is "gravity" a question, or problem quantum physics is trying to solve? I don't understand how those two things are connected, or why they're supposed to be connected. It's like my brain translates this as something like the idea of trying to figure out the nature of oxygen, or hydrogen atoms, using 'monsoon theory', based on how well the behavior of water in the atmosphere, relating to weather patterns, is understood. Like, yeah . But no. It doesn't apply to individual oxygen atoms. And I can't seem to find appropriately dumbed down explanations. If you've read this far, I'm sorry about your lack of interesting things to experience in life... If anyone knows of a way I can fix my brain, that isn't simply suggesting I learn all of maths and physics... I literally am not capable, try as I do, and I do try, you would legitimately be helping a fellow human in genuine distress.

This is why local free public libraries are vital.

I wounder what his hightest formal education is. It kind out sounds like he has the level of understanding. that he thinks he understand it. But not enough to understan why it don´t work the way he think it should.

The Great Courses have a lot of lecture series on the principles and history of mathematics, physics, science, etc

1. FWIIIIIIIIIING, goes most of this, right over my head. Sigh...at least I can LAUGH at how ignorant I am. I don't have a problem with his accent, but if he could get a WORSE mic, that would be "great." 2. I DON'T know anything about GR or QM, soooooo...why are they irreconcilable? Like, okay, I don't know, if you can't make them f*ck and have a baby together, can you at least make them kiss? If not, why not? THIS IS HOW LITTLE I KNOW. 3. Wait, is he implying that all motion takes place in liquid? That's demonstrably false. Or am I misunderstanding him? 4. Hm, I dunno: people discover shit y accident all the time. The Europeans stumbling on the continent I'm currently squatting on, the dude who invented potato chips, you know, cool stuff. CAN YOU stumble your way into something new in such a mathematically inclined field, though? Because two and two will never equal anything but four. You can't play with that. Which, by the way, is why I don't like math. It's either right or it's not, while, in the fields in which I'm most adept, if the answer isn't A, don't present the false dichotomy of "A or B," or of "A or not A." Be SMART enough, that's all, to find C, D, E, F, G. 5. POLITICS, speaking of which...you're right; a nation benefits from having a well-educated populace, BUT the wealthy do not. If we as a body get smart enough to self-govern, we will eventually sweep away the privileged castes and have Distributivism, if not outright Collectivism or Anarchy. The good kind of Anarchy. Read Noam Chomsky if you have any interest in poly-sci, but I have NO idea what you political inclinations are. 6. Snort, GREAT transition into the ad. Ciao, bella; I never stick around for this part.

You had the opportunity to insert a line from pulp fiction there.

Genuine, earnest cranks are a dying breed, these days. I think this is for a couple of reasons, mainly: 1) There was a buildup of unaired crankery prior to the advent and democratization of the internet. 2) Nearly 30 years on, this surplus of crankery has been largely depleted, mostly due to the simplicity of gaining wide exposure and the slow replacement rate of debunked cranks. But it looks like you found an outlier, an edge case as we say. Good for you, good for us.

Hi Marty

Gotta tell ya marty. Stress the importance of calculus cuz it never made sense till i took physics in college.

The problem with many autodidacts IMO is that they tend to have very little or no idea about the things they might NOT know. Not that they can't be very good at whatever it is they do. But yea this poor dude is way atop Mt. Stupid & a prime Dunning-Kruger exemplar. & not to nitpick but, my understanding is that the credential of expertise in a field is typically a Masters whereas a PhD indicates an expert who has already contributed something additional(however trivial or significant) to siad field.

You talking about education around 16:20 struck me with a question; Marty (if you don't mind my asking) how late do you think is too late to study physics/science academically? I'm 31 (with a Law BA) and I'm in a place I don't find great. Education is potentially open to me but I'm worried that starting into science now with science education up to the age of 15 (not counting the hobby science interests like Kerbal, though 4000 hours of crashing Kerbals at least shows interest if not incompetence..). I guess I'm writing this more as a way to express my fear than actually worrying if it'll work or not.

The Dunning Kruger Effect is basically pseudoscience and science advocates shouldn't be promoting it. Especially the popular interpretation as opposed to the paper. Firstly the whole "mount stupid" and "valley of despair" curve that you flashed up wasn't even in the paper and it's a pure pop culture invention. There are two straight lines in the actual paper. One is an x=y tracking skill and the other is a line representing self-appraised skill that intersects in the middle with a lower slope; x=y*2 -1 sort of thing. The authors concluded this showed the unskilled being relatively more confident than the skilled. That's a fundamenrtally unsound conclusion. It's just regression to the mean. Unless people are perfect at estimating their skill then you're always going to get two lines like that even when there's nothing of substance to observe. There was correlation between skill and self-appraised skill but, as you'd expect, those with lower skill tended to over estimate and those with higher underestimate. This is unsound because those with 0% skill can only overestimate and those with 100% skill can only underestimate; so you will always these this characteristic distribution when measuring something of this sort; regression to the mean.

there is no problem with time dilation (kinematic or gravitational), inertia, and the 3rd thing he said. I read posts all the time "we don't know anything about gravity"...BS we know tons...the theory predicted time dilation (observed), non-static universe (observed), black-holes (observed), Shapiro delay (curved spaced, observed), The geodetic effect (it takes less than 360 degrees to go completely around a mass, observed), Lens-Thirring Effect (aka frame dragging--indirectly observed, direct observation is done, but noisy), and ofc gravitational radiation (2 Nobels, one for indirect, one for direct observation). Regarding quantum gravity--that really is the domain of experts, and is ofc an open problem and will be an open problem for some time, and its not getting solved on KZfaq. BTW: special relativity is reconciled with quantum mechanics, and led to the greatest agreement btw theory and experiment in the history of Mankind (electron g-2).

C'mon Marty! He's TRYING, bless his heart :P

Who should be forced to pay professors to teach and for students to learn and to pass on ALL cumulative knowledge and skills from one generation to the next? ANY POLITICIAN OR PRONATALIST WHO WHINES ABOUT "public education is bad" or SELFISHLY FEELS ENTITLED TO HUMANITY CONTINUING ON AND BREEDING FOR THEM! THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SHOULD NOT ONLY PAY ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS' and TRADE SCHOOL STUDENTS' TUITION, BUT ALSO PAY THE STUDENTS TO LEARN!

i've faced da same problem. i'm not use to dis accent and i'm struggling

Why diid I know the sponsor for this video would be Brilliant?

This makes me sad. If he had been given opportunity he might be one of the worlds great researcher. He seems motivated.

Comically enough when educated people start talking in Math the information turns into a string of spells written in Old. I say this as somebody who seeks expanded knowledge, not every field can be understood to high degree which explains all the Specialization that comes with higher education. Also, is that not just fluid dynamics the guy is trying to explore? Is that not already well worked field of study for all things flying/floating/swimming?

6:30 I dont think anyone will ever unify GR and QM. I think they're separate things. QM doesnt need a universe, or spacetime to operate within, the laws were very likely to already be working before our universe began. GR requires (or seems to) spacetime and matter/energy to operate, and likely the laws came into operation when our universe did. I dont think there is a single theory that encompasses both, but I also dont think I'm likely to be right about this, either, as every other physics grad I know (and just about every eminent physicist) thinks there is a unifying theory.

It would be so great if Brilliant could give this guy lets say a year free schoolarship. It would work wonders for them as publicity... Just saying.

Is space-time fluid?

what would change if gravity was based on speed and not mass? I guess the faster you go the more you would weigh??

Let's all make up our own physics, I guess.

But is weight a pseudoforce? for a pseudoforce there always exists a reference frame that eliminates it globally. like changing out of a rotating reference frame can remove a centrifugal force. thats not possible for gravity. when you look at 2 freefalling elevators on the opposite sides of earth you can eliminate gravity locally by placing your reference frame into one of them, freefalling with it. but then the elevator on the other side of earth accelerates with 2g in the reference frame of the elevator your falling with. so there is no single reference frame that lets all the weight vectors in a gravitational well disappear, thus its a real force. did i miss something?

Amusing. Thanks.

in flat earth debunking, your "west peak" is known as mount stupid.

To be fair not adding new things to the science, but at least this level of mechanics can be learned from cheap textbooks.

Is he trying to prove the aether?

Joe Rogan: you just blew my mind.

At least he's starting with some small😂😂 Oh wait

At around the 7 minute mark I'd have to say, no. I do not understand anything you just said. I believe you do. But, sadly, anything more than a + or - in my equations and I leave it to those that know. ha ha

A quick look at that book's description and I already see some problems. He probably don't even understand the basics of Newtonian mechanics.

This guy just wants to live in a fish tank

Always misunderstanding Newton's Third Law and they never recognise their misunderstanding doesn't actually match reality, or if they do recognise it is because Newton was wrong not that they misunderstand him.

Im just gonna assume this violates at least one law of thermodynamics.

I am blaming social media for making itso easy for anyone to have a platform and think they can add to our collective knowledge. Only a couple of decades ago, you would never know about people like these, they would be able to get an adience and quickly give up.

At least he's not a flat earther.

Hey, I'm from the Russian mob. Hold on, ... nevermind.

Cant wait for Gravity 5.0 Chris Hamberg is mega butthurt about lacking education

Legal weed has failed him... Xox a smoker. But, Come On!

Literally in all nations you have to pay for your education yourself. Sure some of that money comes from people who don't get a higher education but it is presumed that with a higher education you will be earning more money than uneducated people and thus you are likely to pay more for your education (in taxes) than those people who didn't get the benefits from it. Maybe there's a lot more uneducated people than those with college education and in that case you could say that the people who get the benefit of higher income from education have been given that priviledge mostly by the people with lower income who do not get the benefits. Actually I would like to see the percentage breakdown for different countries on how much of your education you pay for yourself and how much is paid by the lower income people who didn't get the benefit of education.

From the folk that brought us math... sad bra

8:21 He was not wrong, you are just assuming a particulate "aether" but he said it is fields and he is right. He is wrong about everything else, but space is not "empty". The universe is a plenum. Its just called quantum fields and spacetime today.

I mean, if we let the string theorists parade around claiming they've got a theory of everything, I say we let this guy have a turn xD

I hope this guy will accept that he was ignorant & wrong, unlike virtually every flat-Earther I correct on basic factual inaccuracy...

Marty. You are just insanely jealous that this monumental genius has revolutionized physics. So now you, CIA, MI6, the vatican and the rest of academia are attempting to hold him back. You, you... monster!

Question: Aren't you worried that doing spromotion for a sponsor like this will reinforce the derp's vision of you as "just a shill working for the Big Educa" or something like that?

17:00 Again, the textbooks have the exercises. And by the way, the greatest mathematician of all time, Fermat, was, "self taught." Just because it's hard to do doesn't mean it can't be done, but those who do and succeed will absolutely dwarf your pathetic pay-for-play college, "education."

You don't need a school for a formal education. You need discipline, rigor, and the textbooks.

You don't know allllll of the facts. It's completely fine to ask questions, no matter now "dumb". That's how people learn. Get off your high horse.

Sorry, my hearing is not great. I can't understand his speech. I assume (perhaps unfairly. Sue me.) that Martymer is more correct than Chummy. Sure, props to the guy, but apparently, misguided.
