Interesting presentation as always. I want to note that when Sean gives description for a vibration that is a particle, he seems to me to explain by saying what a thing is like, qualitative description known to be incapable of parsing the paradox of dual aspects of light. A physics of measurement seems reliably well developed. But a physics of meaning isn't more now than speculation in philosophy.

“Born in Cincinnati, American Impressionist Robert Blum studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia before moving to New York, but it was a sojourn to Venice that proved especially influential. There he worked with former teacher Frank Duveneck and close friend William Merritt Chase. His neighbor at the time was James Abbott McNeill Whistler, who encouraged the younger artist to experiment with pastels and study the principles of Japanese design, a topic that interested Blum throughout his life, culminating with a trip to Japan from 1890 to 1892. A leading artist in pastel, Blum would inspire writer Oscar Wilde to humorously remark, "your exquisite pastels give me the sensation of eating yellow satin."

Some of those first books look like Joseph Priestley’s oxygen experiments. Have you ever come across any of Priestley’s personal books considering he found exile in Pennsylvania for the end of his life? He must have had some books written by him or others on Unitarianism?

Oh, interesting mention of Wear at the end after I write my comment, but it’s really Priestly who brings it to America, I guess Wear consolidates two branches at one point or something like that?

On chapter seven of the first Biggest Ideas book (Riemannian geometry) and I have to say, has to be up there with classics like Wheeler's "A Journey into Gravity and Spacetime" and Hawking's "A Brief History of Time". Approachable, concise, yet definitely pulls no punches! I am looking forward to reading "Quanta and Fields", cheers Dr. Carroll!

22:40 120deg not 180deg?
@billbaggins1688 13 күн бұрын
180 degrees would turn it ulside down. Sean is rotating it so that one of the sides become the base. 60 degrees in the corner, so a further 120 degrees of rotation required to do that. :)

Now after long and hard studying multiple people like him, Lee Smolin, David Albert, Ian Xel Lungold, Tim Maud, too many to mention in the community.

We must honor people like Sean and remember that they are the first line of defense against the rampant threat of ignorance that is very real and has many people in it's grasp. Im not trying to be funny or edgy. There is a growing industry of grifters and scammers that are encouraging people to embrace ignorance and the worst part is that they disguise their ideas and present them as "real knowledge". They are an enormous threat to civilization as we know it and if you don't believe me, you will. You will.

I really like popular science though I usually want more detail, more of the real stuff (I hate analogy!) I also really like Sean in particular. However, these last two 'biggest ideas' works leave me flummoxed and bamboozled. I guess I'm not up to it (no shame there, I feel) and it's back to the lame analogy-level stuff for me. :D
@bryandraughn9830 Ай бұрын
I know exactly how you feel. I read Frank wilczeck's book "longing for the harmonies" and I just couldn't get it. But, I read it a few more times and sometimes I would read a page or paragraph several times because It was so interesting and I am delighted to tell you that lightbulbs started clicking on! I wasn't even sure how I was beginning to grasp these concepts but it was just happening. I waited a couple of years and Read the entire book again and it was smooth sailing and well worth the effort. Analogies can be distracting but to dismiss them all as a rule is not a great idea. They are often a good place to stand so you can peer a bit further to land on the next idea. Don't believe that you have this limitation. You are smarter than you think. I promise.
@CurtOntheRadio Ай бұрын
@@bryandraughn9830 Well, it's kind of you for the encouragement. And concepts are mostly fine, I'm happy to deal with that. But all such concepts are an attempt at transforming mathematics into words and thoughts and absent the actual math I feel it's all just analogy. And those are always imperfect - one would use the math otherwise? And I just don't/can't follow the maths. The fault is mine, not Sean's. You're right in a sense though: as a youth I found relativity mind-boggling but having spent 30+ years with it (at the level of words, not maths) I no longer find it surprising or strange. I suppose folks like Sean just never experienced life without his relationship to numbers and equations. So when he says 'you can do it' I'm sure he believes it. I'm more pessimistic. :D

So, besides Recitative Annie there’s Tracheotomy Michelle? Was there an Appendectomy Andy? I was happy when there was a biography on Mutter came out about a decade ago to better put this all in context. I think the museum has been doing an exceptional job of dealing with the complexities of a very odd and unique collection and I disagree with those who want to politically correct it to not offend contemporary audiences or ideals. That’s like cleaning up the exploitation of the elephantman’s life to make it a happy story. That wasn’t what the 19th century was about.

I have two copies of "The Raven" as it appeared in "American Review"--one a rebound individual edition, and one in the bound editions for the first half of 1845. My research proves that this poem, written under the pseudonym "blank Quarles," was not submitted by Edgar Allan Poe, but rather by the real, original author, Mathew Franklin Whittier. Poe merely scooped it by three days in the daily newspaper he wrote for, the NY "Evening Mirror"; but this was the real premiere by the real author. (KZfaq's software will not let me write the actual blank in "blank Quarles.")
