Renowned physicist Neil Turok, Holder of the Higgs Chair of Theoretical Physics at the University of Edinburgh, joins me to discuss the state of science and the universe. is Physics in trouble? What hope is there to return to more productive and Simple theories? What is Peter Higgs up to?
Neil Turok has been director emeritus of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics since 2019. He specializes in mathematical physics and early-universe physics, including the cosmological constant and a cyclic model for the universe.
He has written several books including Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang and The Universe Within: From Quantum to Cosmos.
00:00:00 Intro
00:03:28 What is the meaning of Neil's book cover?
00:06:46 The Nature of the Endless Universe
00:14:31 What would happen to James Clerk Maxwell and Michael Faraday on Twitter?
00:16:10 What's wrong with physics today?
00:20:06 How did Neil's life change after his theory was proven wrong?
00:23:28 Neil shows us fundamental laws of the Universe in equations.
00:33:59 How well do our modern equations satisfy the conditions of the observable Universe?
00:56:29 How is the Universe simple?
01:20:01 Can Neil's model explain flatness without inflation?
01:54:54 Existential Questions on the meaning of life, advice to his former self, and things he's changed his mind on.

This was absolutely fantastic. I did my PhD in theoretical physics recently, and now I'm doing a postdoc. To be honest, modern academia is so full of bullshit that I'm seriously considering leaving it, unless I somehow manage to find a way to work on something meaningful and not on my h-index. The scientific world definitely needs more people like Neil who are not afraid to dream big, who are doing science to answer fundamental questions and not to boost their ego. Anyway, thank you so much to both of you, Brian and Neil, for your beautiful existence! You are a true inspiration, and you just gave me a bit of hope!

No one seems concerned that complex numbers do not possess order --- faking it by assigning one doesn't count --- and therefore any physical activity relying on complex numbers should have factors that can be anywhere in time & space (sort of like Feynman's everything is happening at once, we see what doesn't get cancelled). Something important is being overlooked. Plus, number "types" is a series of infinite regressions, some with order, some without. Does that imply reality is a series of infinite regressions? Lots of weird questions need answering. Consider getting a "real" job that gives you sufficient free time to answer fringe questions. (Unless you're independently wealthy) Not being pressured to have a proper result is freeing.

How fortunate are the students who have Dr. Turok for a professor. It is a delight to have someone articulate the major issues of contemporary physics without cluttering the landscape with esoteric mathematical proofs and share the fun of his intellectual research. It is important for the world to explain these concepts in ways less gifted or less trained minds can grasp them and appreciate the pursuit.

These are the BRANE guys. What I find compelling is that what I call “real science” is refined vocabulary, predominantly math, that can be reproduced by others, tested and validated. When I think of string theory - it, from my understanding, has, far too many degrees of freedom to model such that it can be tested sufficiently. My old USNA physicist joked when he mentioned QM and other, so called science, was, how can they know - they haven’t done THE WORK. And when a physicist isn’t sure - about QM - he means it could be wrong - 1 in 10^18. Not - it’s 50/50 like psychology or even economics. Chemistry and physics are gifts to the modern world. I LOVE how some of these models are like a completely BLANK spreadsheet / canvas upon which you can write anything. It is AMUSING to see that a model with 30+ particles only needs 1 we couldn’t find without the LHC. But in solving difficult problems - usually BEST to focus on FEWEST things of which we are really certain - and see what THAT SAYS. And for QM - I think - the eraser doesn’t erase - “it happened” - we just have an experiment with enough third source energy - we can put it back into a state where it looks like it hasn’t happened. Theoretical physicists I think GUESS how they think it works based on what does work. Sorry to say - it’s Guess and check - and invent the MATH. Because while it might be simple - it’s NOT OBVIOUS.

The idea that an Antiuniverse is developping itself in the opposite direction of time is very natural when we adopt the Feynman's point of view that antiparticles are particles travelling in the opposite direction of time. In curve spacetime, maybe the two will meet some when in the middle but with a flat Universe and a flat Antiuniverse, it does not a priori appear to be very likely.

Thanx for getting Neil on! Indeed one of the top minds, and one of the few who realizes we need to re-built physics from a more basic fundamental setup. That is not easy when our main way of trying to understand the architecture physics and our cosmos is basically reversed and bottom up from mathematical approximations. Yes we get very helpful mathematical approximation (GR and QP) but no we cannot derive the simplest physical architecture from that in reverse (the standard model is not a helpful in between for that). Mathematical Correlation to the architecture does not equal causation and this bottom up approach generated too many 'epicycle' assumptions to unlock true simplification. DM, DE Mass- energy 'equivalence' being the top 3. Let me give you an example of how easy we make implicit assumptions which we are not even aware of; On the subject of cosmic flatness; we observe the outer cosmos to be flat. Correct. But does that mean it IS actually flat? If in QP terms, energy is the inverse of space and mass the inverse of time (Penrose 2019). From this it follows that cosmic flatness may very well be the result of POSITIVELY curved spacetime outside of our galaxy and NEGATIVELY curved spacetime inside our galactic orb. Like wearing glasses, positively curved spacetime seen trough our galactic glasses of negative curved (Riemann) spacetime would appear flat. This diffraction effect would suggest that spacetime near galaxies further away would be diffracted most, which means any light propagating in it would have most REDSHIFT, indicating redshift asa function of DISTANCE, not SPEED which in turn voids the NEED for dark energy. I earlier explained why indeed the grid inside our galactic orb would be dominated by the energy mass grid (explaining the strange effect we fill in with dark matter). So I would suggest you and Neil collect all major paradoxes (DM, DE, inflation, mature galaxy) and see what approach VOIDS them before we treat them as givens. I could assist you in the reversed engineering principles for getting to the real simple fundamental principles. The answer is clear, but top physics people need to walk this road yourself, otherwise you will never believe how many roadblocks are human created.

The idea of an antimatter-matter paired Universe sounds the most plausible concept I've heard from all these theories out there. The idea of anti-matter being the same matter as its counterpart but travelling back in time is rich in possibilities. One can think of even entangled particle pairs acting as the same particle with polar opposite time directions. And linking this all with a theory that bridges the classical and quantum layers with quantum gravity doesn't seem impossible, where the arrow of time is given by the collapse of the quantum world...

How does something travel backwards through time? Youd only ever be able to see any such particle for a planck length of time, before it only existed in your past.. What would you expect to see in such a universe? If anti-matter was just matter particles travelling backwards in time, and at every point in time the particle is in a specific space, then for every single matter particle, there must be a corresponding antimatter particle that will annihilate with its future self when they reach the same place at the same time, which every particle must do. So, unless dark matter ends up being the shadow gravity of future Antimatter particles that are making their way back through time, somehow affecting the present from the future or something like that, this idea seems unlikely..

@@falseprophet1024 My thoughts on the matter (no pun intended!): Think of time behaving differently in the classical world and the quantum world. The direction of time flows forwards in the classical world, but in the quantum world, there is no such direction until the collapse of the wave function. what we consider 'backwards' in time makes no sense, as the particle that is considered to be travelling in such a manner in the classical world is still travelling forwards as far as it is concerned - its arrow of time is still moving 'forwards'. In the quantum world, before wave function collapse, the arrow of time doesn't make sense. Consider a particle vibrating in 3D space, such that we 'observe' it in the classical world because its time coordinate is the same as the observers, that's us. Now consider this particle vibrating in 4D spacetime, we would only still observe this particle when its time coordinate is the same as ours, but when it is vibrating with different time coordinates, we wouldn't see this particle because it exists in another time. We would call this vibrating 'forwards' and 'backwards' in time much like we would consider it moving forwards and backwards along the X-axis. I don't think such a universe is really in contradiction to our universe. If the aforementioned vibrating particles wave function collapses such that its time coordinate matches the observers, and we measure it as an antiparticle, its corresponding oppositely charged particle can still be the same particle with opposite charge and different 4D spacetime coordinates. Think of this paired particle like a single bar magnet with north/ south poles (positive/ negative) and the whole bar is vibrating along 4D spacetime. We would observe 'two' particles if the two ends of this bar appeared with the same time coordinates, but different space coordinates. This antimatter/ matter paired particle system extended to many particles would appear as particles bubbling in and out of existence (observed with same time coordinates). If you consider this paired particle system when entangled, we can replace observables like charge with spin. Similarly, we observe entangled particles as pairs with the same time coordinates, but with different space coordinates, which itself is the same particle vibrating through the quantum world and the classical word, where observations are made in the classical world. So, travelling 'backwards' in time is a misnomer, and if this vibrating system of antimatter/ matter pairs meet at the same 4D spacetime coordinates, then we would see an antimatter/ matter collision and annihilation. What we need is a theory connecting both spacetime and quantum field theory as quantum gravity...

@@jainalabdin4923 Thats just not how the quantum world works, though.. you can calculate how a quantum system develops over time. Its always one way. Think of time like this: cause preceeds effect. Thats it. You can measure the "arrow of time" by drawing an arrow from the cause to the event. That arrow points the same way in classical and quantum physics.. I dont understand why everyone is so convinced there is this unified field theory.. Gravity doesn't appear to be a field. Or they want to "unify the 4 forces", but gravity doesn't appear to be a force, either. Quantum Gravity is a nonsensical term to me. Gravity seems to be geometric in nature. It is caused by its relative geometry within the "fabric of space". None of the forces seem to act in the same way, as their interactions seem to be algebraic in nature. Quantum loop gravity seems like it could be fruitful because it attempts to explain how the fabric that mass warps to create gravity acts in a quantum way. Gravity is the only "force" that has an infinite range of effect. It never tapers off to zero. Why would it be surprising if its also the only "force" that has a minimum limit of effect? Basically, gravity seems to be fundamentally different from the other forces, so why are we so sure they can all be "unified"?

@@falseprophet1024 Quantum Gravity isn't clearly defined and is used loosely in various ways, but my meaning is how spacetime (gravity) interacts at the quantum scale. Quantum Gravity would be the glue that explains both the classical and quantum world. I'm disagreeing with the notion that quantum systems develop one way. The quantum world, before the wavefunction collapses, suggests a particle being everywhere, where everywhere is a place in 4D spacetime, which means both 'past', 'present' and 'future'. When the wavefunction collapses, it does so to the present for us to measure observables. The notion of the arrow of time comes from this in the classical world. Prior to collapse, there is no notion of this arrow. The idea that the quantum world develops one way doesn't consider particles vibrating in 4D spacetime, rather it constrains time with an arrow, and lets the system develop in 3D space.

Here is why.. People generally have a very poor understanding of what the word 'infinite' actually means.. This is not any kind of 'fault', but just that we have evolved within the confines of what appears to be a finite environment, and we thus try to look at things in finite ways, also justifying those 'finite' thoughts. When I first approached the 'problem' I had the same difficulties, so it takes our minds a lot of effort to reach another perspective of understanding, but it IS achievable.. Firstly, there cannot be more than one 'instance' of infinitude, otherwise a secondary 'thing' would render them both 'finite'. So we are describing a 'oneness'.. Also, it can have no 'beginning' nor 'ending' as these would also necessitate a secondary 'thing' (or the utter nonsense of a 'nothing'!), so we are describing 'eternity' when we apply 'time' concepts. Then, we have to admit that it can only be the one thing that interconnects all other 'things', and we deduce this to be 'Space', necessarily.. So, in terms of 'numbers', infinitude can only ever be 'one'.. ('Non-duality') All references to 'size' or 'direction' do not apply to the nature of infinitude, and thus have no relevance to our understanding of the true nature of existence. 'Measurement' has limitations.. When we point to any position in Space, we effectively create a 'beginning' to any subsequent forms of measurement, which only has relevance to the entity desiring to understand said 'measurement'. Measuring things does not make them a main-feature of the nature of reality, only a desire of 'measurement' from a purely Human perspective. 'Math' is another finite aspect, and so has limited usage. It helps us to describe specific positions and calculate certain desirable measurements to ourselves, so that we may use finite reference points, but it breaks down at the level of describing a necessarily infinite reality. Thus, as it is with our 'senses', we need various different kinds of understanding, all working in tandem with each other to produce the 'bigger picture', and we have philosophy and psychology, arts and 'mysticism'/intuition, among others, evolved for this task. However, because we live in an 'expert' driven society, all the 'senses/methods' are at war with each other, jostling for control, when the only true understanding occurs if we emulate nature itself, and work from a foundation of wholeness.. Within infinitude everything appears to be at the 'centre' of that which it finds detectable ('observable').. So, the moment you create the perspective of a 'centre', you become that centre.. Couple this with intuition, and we can see why people have, throughout history, considered all things from a 'centre of the universe' perspective..It's true! All things ARE at the centre of whatever it is that does the 'perceiving'..'Ancient cultures' had little else OTHER than their intuitions to go by, so this is why circles and their centres played such a large role in cultural significance. Here, we can also find the very real problem with using 'mathematics' as a tool for understanding infinite nature. We have to firstly posit the 'points' to be 'measured' in order for the measurement to take place.. And this is why we end up inventing 'things' that do not exist in reality from mathematical constructs that do not describe the truth about nature.. We might well say, "Where's the science?" And because of the current collective psychology of Humans, we find it buried very deep, out of view..But like the most precious diamond, it still exists.. "Commendation from NASA for research work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology on the Earth's atmosphere and the Moon's surface for navigation of the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon.. Dr. Milo Wolff has found the structure of the electron consisting of two spherical quantum waves, one moving radially outward and another moving radially inward. The center of the waves is the nominal location of the electron 'particle'. These waves extend infinitely, like charge force. All 'particle' waves mix and contribute to each other, thus all matter of the universe is interrelated by this intimate connection between the fundamental 'particles' and the universe. The natural laws are a direct consequence of this Wave Structure of Matter (WSM), thus WSM underlies all of science." spaceandmotion And then.. "What about 'god'?" All methods of attempting to genuinely understand must eventually lead to success, as long as we can whittle each aspect down to that which is necessary. In fact, it may well be that it is a requirement of genuine understanding to approach the 'Allness' of existential questioning from as many necessary aspects as possible, all things existent necessarily converging in truth.. The emphasis must be on genuineness and necessity, not on favouring one Human-invented method over another. When it comes to truth, the Human necessity is that we must 'be it to see it', for the very reason that we ARE 'it'.. The importance of the 'mystical' aspect Humanity carries within it, and so has access to, is not 'god' in its many guises, but the intrinsic aspect of infinitude.. 'God' has been our excuse for irresponsibility, leading to false 'authoritarianism', but the real 'enlightenment' occurs when we see how necessary infinitude is.. So 'god' has just been a vehicle, a carrier of genuine understanding, not the truth itself..Here is also why our 'societies' eventually collapse due to corruption from within, because they are not founded on truthful understanding of how we exist.. And this is why there is no 'plan', because all possibilities (including 'patterns') MUST unfold, given an 'eternity' in which to do so..

Wow awesome. I like thinking of different ways the universe could work whenever I'm learning physics. The copied time-reverse universe was an idea that came up, I like how it's articulated here since I can't really do the math yet. I also thought off universes in blackholes and that matter is space-time fabric in a knot. Not sure how it's helpful but it's like a big puzzle. All of the ideas I come up with have already been described by others though.

Always refreshing to hear pleas to humility, simplicity, and the recognition that modern physics and cosmology are likely barking up a lot of wrong trees. In that spirit, why not let us perform a simple gravity experiment proposed by Galileo in 1632, an experiment that is often discussed, but has not yet been done? Drop a test mass into a hole through the center of a larger spherical mass and see what happens. The apparatus may be called a Small Low-Energy Non-Collider. Most physicists respond to this idea by saying something like: “No need to do the experiment, because we already know what would happen if we did.” I would love to discover that Keating and/or Turok are exceptional for actually seeing the value in doing the experiment as soon as possible. For to do so would simply be to abide by the empirical ideals of science and at last fill this large gap in our empirical knowledge of gravity.

The reason why a measurement of the ' Double slit ' experiment interferes with wave pattern, is because of two perameters, 1. the electron that is being fired at the double slit, is not a single solid particle, but a cluster of much smaller particles that make up a cloud that fills every available empty space throughout the universe. This cluster, which is how energy travels as quanta such as a photon of visible light. From this, it will be seen that the signal pulse being fired at the double slit barrier, is moving through a cloud of the same particles. Just like pushing water through water. 2. The measuring equipment being used, is also using the same particles, which would be like sending a jet of water through water at a different angle to the first. Kind regards, Tony Marsh.

@@falseprophet1024 Thank you for the reply. I am most certainly not a string theorist, I just can't accept this theory at all. I have been working on two hypotheses, one is to do with quantum mechanics, the other with an alternative to the big bang and the idear that the universe inflated and is expanding. To help you make sense of what I am saying, I will list below a few of the anomalies of the standard model that led to me proposing an alternative hypothesis. I will also post a brie extract from my hypothesis, which you may find interesting. I Personally do not believe that the double slit experiment proves anything, because the parameters that are being used are wrong. 2. In answer to this question, it is because whatever is being used to fire at the double slit barrier, are not solid discrete particles, but a culster of very much smaller particles. These particles are negatively charged monopole particles, which are repelling each other in every direction. As these clusters of particles are travelling through a cloud of the same particles there will exist a wave pattern before the double slits are encountered, so there will exist an interference wave pattern the other side of the barrier, no matter what passes through the slits. Any measureing equipment will either be absorbing or emitting the same particles, therefore having an effect on what is passing through the slits. a). How is it possible for a single electron as in the case of the hydrogen atom, to form an ' Electron Cloud ', that fills the whole area between the nucleus and the outer boundary of the atom, at every moment in time, when this area is millions of times that of the electron? b). If the electron does act as described in the standard model, by whizzing around the nucleus, changing trajectory many thousands of times a second, where does it get its energy from to initiate and maintain its momentum? c). Following on from b). This momentum and changing of trajectory would require energy to be expended, and thus dissipating heat. Therefore, every atom and therefore all matter would be emitting heat, which plainly it is not? This proves that the electron, as described in the standard model, cannot be moving, but must be at rest, unless exited by an external influence, therefore the standard model is wrong. d). How is it possible for the electron to have the same charge holding capacity as the proton, which is around 2,000 times its size. It would be like a tiny watch battery having the same charge holding capacity as a very large tractor battery? e). In the standard model the proton and the neutron are each made up of three quarks, these in turn contain neutrinos and electrons, which is a contradiction of the accepted statement that the electron has an equal but opposite charge to the proton. If the proton is made up of three quarks, and in ‘ Beta decay ‘ these quarks can change into their opposite quarks, with the ejection of a neutrino or an antineutrino, and an electron, then there exists three electrons contained within the proton, and three within the neutron. This would mean that there are six electrons in the nucleus. This proves that the standard model is fundamentally flawed, since the electron in the space outside the nucleus has a charge value of one, negative, and the proton is one positive, the presence of these electrons in the nucleus should make it negative. F}. The accepted view, according to the standard mode, is that space is a vacuum. If this is the case, how is it possible for light and all electromagnetic radiation or gravitation waves to travel through space? Since it is accepted that all electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves are ' Waves ', there has to be a medium in which a wave can propagate and travel, therefore, space must contain a cloud of matter particles, such as I describe in my hypothesis, to facilitate this propagation. I hypothesize that everything in the universe is composed of just two incredibly small particles that I have proposed. One is a negatively charged monopole particle called a ' Harveytron ', which fills every available empty space between the nucleus and the boundary of the atom, and every available empty space throughout the universe, in a cloud called the ' Harveytron Cloud '. These particles make up the ' Dark Matter ', and the negative force of repulsion that is produced by them trying to repel each other in every direction, is the ' Dark Energy '. This is the force that keeps all of the planets suspended, and stops them from being drawn to each other, and is what is causing the expansion of the universe ( if it is ). It is also one of the forces of gravity, which I believe is a force of both attraction and repulsion. The second, is a corresponding positively charged monopole particle, called a ' Dannytron ', which, in combination with the ' Harveytrons ', make up all of the nuclei and therefore all of the nuclear matter in the universe. They are what makes up the other force of gravitational attraction between the nuclear matter of the universe. Starting with the atom, I believe that all of the particles making up the table of particles in the standard model, are man-made, and just pieces of nuclear detritus following collider collisions. I believe that the nucleus is composed of successive layers of the two positive and negatively charged monopole ' Harveytrons ' and ' Dannytrons ', that I describe, like a gobstopper sweet. The different elements being determined by the number of the positively charged ' Dannytrons ' contained in the nucleus. Beyond the last layer of positively charged particles there exists just the negatively charged ' Harveytrons ', which fill every available empty space between the nucleus and the outer boundary of the atom. This boundary is determined where the point of equilibrium is reached between the attractive force of the positively charged particles contained in the nucleus to the negatively charged particles in the ' Harveytron cloud ', and the repulsive force of the ' Harveytron cloud ' and the negative charge of the ' Harveytrons ' contained in the nucleus meets. Beyond this boundary, there exists only the negatively charged ' Harveytron ' monopole particles throughout every available empty space in the universe, creating a negative force of repulsion throughout the universe, and is one of the two components of gravity. I would contend that these monopoles, do not give up their charge, and the forces of each, extend through each particle, which in the case of the positive extends to the boundary of the atom and the negative extends to the centre of the nucleus. Electron. I contend that the electron is not an elementary solid particle, but a cluster of the negatively charged ' Harveytron ' particles that I propose. These clusters form due to the mass of the ' Harveytron Cloud ' trying to reach the nucleus, and as any force is applied to the atom, a pulse of energy is ejected from one atom to the next as happens with the photon. The quantity of energy in these pulses is always the same and is a constant. The charge held by these clusters, is not equal to the positive charge of the nucleus, but just a proportion of it. the amount of charge equal but opposite that of the nucleus, is distributed throughout the ' Harveytrons ' contained in the area between the nucleus and the boundary of the atom. I would be intrested in your thought, Kind regards, Tony Marsh

@Tony Marsh Sure thing. I was just making a nerd joke with the string theorist comment. Its an interesting idea, and i like trying to come up with new explanations for stuff, as well, so please dont take this the wrong way, but i think you have a few fundamental misunderstandings leading to some flaws in your thinking. The Double-Slit experiment proves that the universe is quantum at its base.. and honestly, a probabilistic universe makes the most sense to me.. I still dont understand why you would get the 2 different results according to your hypothesis. Or how your particles that actually fill the universe changes anything. The detector is only registering the position of the photon. It seems like you should get the same result, unless the 2nd detector is somehow clearing these "aether particles" from the path of the photon.. 2. If electrons were constructed as you propose, made of a cloud of distinct particles that all repel each other, atoms wouldnt be able to hold together. Okay, now let me try to answer your questions. a. Because the electron is in a superposition, actually existing in every place within the electron shell, until it is "measured". b. I dont really understand the question. It doesnt take energy to maintain your momentum, aka inertia. The electron "gets its energy" from the nucleus, more specifically it is bound to the opposite/attractive charge of the proton, and because the electrons angular momentum must be conserved, it has to act like the standard model describes. c. The "external influnece" on the electron is the protons in the nucleus through the electro-magnetic force. d. What do you mean by "charge holding capacity"? They dont exert the same force, which is why the electron spins around the nucleus, and they dont spin around each other. An analogy would be asking how the Earth has the same gravity holding capacity as the sun? e. The presence of electrons in the nucleus doesn't make the charge of the nucleus negative, due to their relative size. The nucleus has a positive charge that is slightly reduced by the presence of electrons in the nucleus, but the nucleus still has an overall positive charge.. f. The accepted view since Einstein is that space is a fabric that has an energy value (zero point energy) and can be warped. See quantum loop gravity as an example of a theory that tries to explain what the fabric is made of. You haven't actually proposed what you think you have. Your two fundamental particles are somehow both fundamental, and made of the particles in the standard model that we know exist through observation. And honestly, unless your 2 fundamental particles are quantum, and therefore probabilistic in nature, then they dont agree with observation. Which of the unbelievables do you have the hardest time accepting? A. The probabilistic nature of reality, and the idea of superposition? B. Non-locality (spooky action at a distance)? C. The measurement problem in QM? (The electron deciding where it actually wants to be, but only when we measure it.)

@@falseprophet1024 Thank You for your considered reply. Obviously, without seeing the whole of my hypotheses, it is hard to convey my thinking. I will try to respond fully tomorrow, but for now, I will just copy a section of my QM hypothesis regarding the electron. In answer to the last part of your reply, I don't agree with the SM view all three of them, and these points are discussed in my hypotheses. Anyway, have a look at the following and give me your thoughts. Kind regards, Tony Marsh. Electron. It is proposed that the accepted view, that an electron is an elementary solid particle, is incorrect, and that it is in fact a collection of the much smaller negatively charged monopole particles that I have just described as ‘ Harveytrons ‘. I believe that these particles would be the finitely smallest particles in the universe, and would constitute everything that exists in the universe, with the exception of the positively charge component contained in every nucleus that exists. Also I propose that these particles would form a cloud ‘, the ‘ Harveytron ‘ cloud, that fills every available empty space within the atom and the universe. Just to emphasize the point, I believe that the electron, as a solid particle does not exist. It is proposed that the electron as it is described in the standard model, is in fact a parcel of the much smaller negatively charged monopole ’ Harveytron ‘ particles described in my hypothesis, and is the quantity of negatively charged particles to be contained together, before the charge they contain is released as a Photon, or as a pulse of energy outside the spectrum of visible light. This quantity of charge is a constant, throughout the whole of the universe,and is the quantity of charge contained in a quanta of light or electromagnetic radiation, when the threshold quantity of charge able to be held within the boundary of the atom is reached. This is analogous to an electrical circuit, containing a power source, a capacitor, and an SCR, whereby, when power is applied to the circuit, the capacitor begins to charge, until the trigger voltage of the SCR is reached and it fires, at which point the capacitor discharges in a pulse. The way that these clusters form, is due to the interaction between the opposing positive and negative forces in the nucleus and any external force applied to the atom pushing the negative particles up to the point where the pressure cannot be contained by the atom, and the energy contained in these bunched particles is released to the adjoining atom. The quantity of negative charge surrounding each nucleus, is strongest nearest the nucleus, and gets weaker the greater the distance from the nucleus. At the point where the force of attraction to this charge from the nucleus reaches equilibrium with the force of repulsion between the negatively charged monopoles is reached, this is the boundary of the atom. This is also the boundary that the positive charge forming the strong nuclear force extends to. From this point out, there only exists the negative force of repulsion in every direction in the ‘ Harveytron Cloud ‘. I contend that the whole of the available empty space within the boundary of the atom, as described in the standard model, is filled with these particles, and the amount of negative electrical charge equal and opposite to the positive charge carried by the nucleus, attributed to the electrons, as described in the standard model, is distributed throughout the mass of these particles. The negative electrical charge that would be carried by the electron in the standard model is in fact, just a small proportion of these particles, and of the negative charge within the area surrounding the nucleus and the outer boundary of the atom. I also hypothesize that these particles do not fly around at speed, but are at rest unless exited by an external force, other than trying to get closer to the positively charged particles contained in the nucleus, and contributing to the strong nuclear force. Beyond the last layer of the positively charged monopole ‘ Dannytron ‘ particles forming the nucleus, as I will describe later, there are only the negatively charged monopole ‘ Harveytron ‘ particles in a cloud that encompasses every space within the universe. This cloud is negatively charged, and forms a negative force of repulsion exerting a repulsive force in every direction. As these negatively charged particles cluster around the nucleus, they are held very strongly by the positively charged particles making up the nucleus. As the positive and negative particles are monopoles that do not give up their force of attraction and repulsion, there exists a complex interaction between these particles in the nucleus. The attractive and repulsive force of each particle, extends through adjoining particles. Although the negatively charged particles are trying to repel each other, this repulsion is a standard pressure in the ‘ Harvetron Cloud ‘. However, because the positively charged particles are trying to attract the negative particles from every direction, and their force of attraction extends beyond the boundary of their neighbouring oppositely charged particle , there is in effect, a double force pulling and pushing the nucleus extremely tightly together. This is the ‘ Strong Nuclear Force ‘. As more negatively charged particles try to get to the nucleus, a dense shell of the negatively charged particles forms due to the very strong attraction of the positive particles in the nucleus. As these negatively charged monopole particles can’t get any closer to the nucleus, this is the boundary of the atom. From this point out, there exists only the negative force of repulsion, and equilibrium is reached in the ‘ Harveytron Cloud ‘. The negative force of attraction to the nucleus gets weaker the greater the distance from the nucleus until the force reaches equilibrium within the cloud, to become the weak force, and a constituent of gravity. At the point where the boundary of the atom would be defined, it is possible that the negatively charged monopole particles, might bunch up, as they are being pulled by the positive particles in the nucleus, but also being repelled by the negative particles already in this region. This could be what is visualized as an electron. Any applied force would then cause the energy contained in these bunches, to be released as a photon. Elements, Isotopes, chemistry. My model of the atom would still respond the same as in the standard model. The different element are determined by the quantity of the positively charged ‘ Dannytrons ‘ contained in the nucleus. The larger the number, the higher the atomic number element it is. As the quantity of these particles contained in the nucleus are not constrained by any given quantity, such as a whole proton or neutron, as in the standard model. The variation is infinite, as the particles are so small. There may be thousands of these particles that would make up the equivalent quantity of positive charge as one proton. This explains the capacity for Isotopes to exist. Chemical bonding. This works the same as in the standard model of the atom, the only difference, is that instead of a single solid electron forming a co-valent bond, a cluster of my ‘ Harveytron ‘ particles, or the energy they contain is what moves. The fact that there exists a threshold level in the outer boundary of the atom that has to be reached before a quanta of energy is released, means that there is a potential deficit or excess about a mean value of charge contained in the outer boundary of the atom, allowing it to receive or eject energy from or to other atoms.

"Whereas when we look at our theories, they have become unbelievably complex, arcane with a million assumptions, and 'fixes'. And starting about five years ago I basically decided this has all become a bit of a joke, to be honest. What we should be doing is being strongly guided by the data to constructing much simpler models of the universe. And by 'simpler' I don't mean less precise, or vaguer, or anything like that, I mean the evidence is that we've been missing something." Neil Turok.

The reason for some of the issues is that light slows down over time. This is why Hubble's observation of redshift getting more significant the further it's source gets sort of works. If the light is slowing the longer it travels then obviously the redshift will increase the further away we look. So space isn't expanding like we need to happen trying to deal from our perspective. And we don't need the dark matter because it's not expanding. Some is going away, some coming closer. But the big red shift is a result of photons slowing because light speed is not a constant. We know this as it changes in other mediums, but we dismiss it when looking up. And no expansion means no need for a big bang. So the problems with the big bang go away.

Einstein's "blunders" -- I studied ancient history under a brilliant scholar. When critiquing my dissertation drafts he would occasionally say something that I, who had studied a point in detail, knew was wrong. When I revisited the question, though, I found that he with his vast knowledge of the field, was right. Even when he was wrong, he was right.

Fantastic interview and topic. One thing I wonder about flat space and the comparison with Earth and such globes. Is there a reason why you cannot treat universe as a sphere in the global sense, and flat in local? Neil kind of jumped to flat only universe whence in the case of Earth we can speak of both, local and global, flat and curved geometry. Also, I got an impression that Neil still keeps the path integral in the world equation. Wish to hear confirmation and arguments to do this.

I found real satisfaction in what Turok was saying all along, and restated at the end: The Universe is telling us what it is, that it is simple, and DON'T get lost in the details of your theory. Not being a mathematician, I'm aMAZed at how some get lost in things that math says MAY be true, and lose sight of the fact they may NOT be true.

I can’t help but contextualize his view that theoretical physics is off the rails and into the weeds of complexity in terms of biological reality, specifically age-as in his. As we get older we tend to proceed with more caution and hold more firmly to simplicity. It is natural and even beautiful. The older tend to stand up for boundaries, classic achievement, and tradition. In the words of Grandpa Simpson: “I used to be with it, then they changed what it is. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what is it seems weird and scary to me. It will happen to YOU!” We need smart young people to push boundaries and head in wayward directions or science hardens into religion, even if only one in a hundred thousand stumbles onto something of fundamental consequence.

I absolutely love the way this guy has come to think. I too have gone through a similar transition where: The more I hiked in these dense woods here in Oregon the more I thought "Such complex systems come from such core basic properties" if we can allow ourselves to let go of all this baggage we've piled on "in mainstream ideas" and instead let NATURE guide us and then the individuals who end up doing amazing math for our models, are such crucial people. It will just take this serious ability to allow for simple core property models, but then allow for the abstract messy way nature functions from those core basic models to occur. I feel we will be able to solve so much more especially with these advanced tech models. But it all takes the ability to trial and error and flexibility in certain areas, but sticking to the core properties of nature, which are basic core properties. 🧲🌡️📡🔆☢️🔌🔊🔋♻️🌐☯️⚛️ I feel magnetism and electromagnetism play such a crucial aspect of the cosmos. It's really facinating how so many properties with-in Nature use; "Differences" that seem to be a key factor in keeping dynamic systems functioning. High pressure/low pressure, hot/cold temp, different densities, static electric charges/discharges, electromagnetism north/south poles, different velocity/angular momentum, layers between different regions such as, land, water, air, edge of atmosphere, space, the different regions in space with different particle density, creating bubbles/membrane layers, cloud regions, nebula's/ Galaxy's, Galaxy clusters, less dense voids regions of space. All of these things are basic differences but create a way for the dynamic engine with-in Nature to continue flowing and operating to create and convert energy. How a battery 🔋 transfers + charges through a membrane layer to a - charged side. Like how regions of high/low pressure and temperature 🌡️differences create winds. Transfer that into water or planets core and add density. It creates either ocean currents and flow or planetary convection geothermal activity. 🧲🌡️📡🔆☢️🔌🔊🔋♻️🌐☯️⚛️

I would give this a thousand likes because just after the 10 min mark Turok refers to the Big Bang as a paradox. I can't tell you over the course of my life how often I argue over the nonsensical idea of the big bang with people who are science educated. The other concepts he mentions as paradoxes are also regularly mentioned with different degrees of certainty by all of the "science communicators" of fame. Dark matter, dark energy, anything definite about black holes, big bang theory, we have no clue whats true about any of these things, which is fine. Talking all of the time like we do know however, which is done by all said communicators, should at least be considered as a "part" of the overall problem of science illiteracy and science denial in the US. Before any chuckleheads show up to tell me the big bang is one of the most supported theories ever..........just remember........you are defending the notion of another human being KNOWING just what happened, where and the result of an event that was over 12 billion years ago and in an unknown cosmic location. Doesn't really matter to me what the math says, you may as well just believe in god at that point.

This mathematical formulation explained in this video can be formed out of spherical geometry based on Huygens’ Principle of 1670, that said: “Every point on a wave front has the potential for a new spherical 4π wave”. We can have the same geometry at the big bang as we have with photons interacting with electrons. Light photon ∆E=hf energy is continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons. Kinetic energy is the energy of what is actually ‘happening’. The two dimensional surface of the sphere could form a manifold for positive and negative charge and the holographic principle. No need for the extra dimensions of String Theory, the interior of the sphere is naturally 3D forming the inverse square law of EM and gravity. The wave-function ψ² is squared the electron e² is squared and the speed of the process c² is squared representing one geometrical process. When there is an exchange of energy in the form of a photon ∆E=hf electron coupling the energy levels cannot drop below the centre of the sphere because it is relative to the radius. This forms a constant of action in space and time that we see mathematically as the Planck constant h/2π. Because the square of probability is relative to the spherical surface (wave-function ψ²) and the centre of the sphere (Planck constant h/2π), it forms another constant in the form of the Fine Structure Constant 1/137.

It's also become so politicly corrupted in it's funding mechanism. Science now more than ever overwhelmingly funded by government either though direct grants or government funded proxies. Scientist in certain fields understand full well that if they don't provide the predetermined information the government desires to achieve their political objectives they will not only never receive another dime in grant money, but also have their name and reputation falsely slandered, tarnished by the massive machine who's become totally dependent on continued government funding and subsidies....
