https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t6.24 | x6YWpe9xHMg | I'm your host Sean Carroll and today we're going to be doing the Q&A associated with idea number three, | 6.24 | 12.04 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t12.040000000000001 | x6YWpe9xHMg | force, energy, and action. So as I go through these Q&A videos, I am moving away more and more | 12.04 | 19.56 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t19.56 | x6YWpe9xHMg | from the idea of specifically going down question by question and more and more toward a theory of | 19.56 | 24.72 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t24.72 | x6YWpe9xHMg | using the questions to inspire me to elaborate on things that maybe I glossed over or simply forgot | 24.72 | 32.2 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t32.2 | x6YWpe9xHMg | to talk about when I did the original video. This is the downside of having a very casual, | 32.2 | 36.76 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t36.76 | x6YWpe9xHMg | non-polished, non-rehearsed approach is that sometimes there are things I wanted to say and | 36.76 | 41.4 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t41.4 | x6YWpe9xHMg | I just forgot to say them. Also in this Q&A I'm going to use the opportunity a few people have asked | 41.4 | 46.56 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t46.56 | x6YWpe9xHMg | how I actually make the videos. So I will be at the end of this Q&A talking a little bit about the | 46.56 | 52.48 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t52.48 | x6YWpe9xHMg | setup and the technology that goes in to actually making the videos. If you want to stick around for | 52.48 | 56.44 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t56.44 | x6YWpe9xHMg | that, I thought I was sticking at the end because many of you couldn't care less. So clean up. In | 56.44 | 61.92 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t61.919999999999995 | x6YWpe9xHMg | other words, what are the things that I didn't talk about in the actual video that I want to talk | 61.92 | 66.96 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t66.96 | x6YWpe9xHMg | about? The most important thing is nothing very profound that I have to say, but remember we were | 66.96 | 72.4 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t72.4 | x6YWpe9xHMg | talking about the Newtonian versus Laplacian paradigms, right? So here is a particle at some point X. | 72.4 | 79.8 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t79.8 | x6YWpe9xHMg | This is X0 equals 0. That was another question that was healthfully answered. 0 is just a way of | 79.8 | 91.24 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t91.24 | x6YWpe9xHMg | saying 0 and T0. Then at some other time T1, the particle is located at X1. In the least action | 91.24 | 102.84 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t102.84 | x6YWpe9xHMg | way of doing things, we say of all the paths you could traverse between X0 and X1 and between time | 102.84 | 109.48 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t109.48 | x6YWpe9xHMg | T0 and T1, what is the one that minimizes this quantity called the action? And all I wanted to do | 109.48 | 116.28 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t116.28 | x6YWpe9xHMg | was to sort of highlight the question, how does it know? This is the big issue with the miraculous | 116.28 | 125.88 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t125.88 | x6YWpe9xHMg | feeling that we have about the principle of least action. So we're saying that I don't tell you the | 125.88 | 133.16 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t133.16 | x6YWpe9xHMg | initial velocity of the particle. I don't tell you the final velocity. I just tell you where it starts | 133.16 | 137.4 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t137.4 | x6YWpe9xHMg | and when it ends. I tell you when it starts and when it ends. And somehow the procedure for figuring | 137.4 | 145.08 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t145.07999999999998 | x6YWpe9xHMg | out all of the different ways of getting from here to there is that had I gone on another path | 145.08 | 152.12 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t152.12 | x6YWpe9xHMg | that is not the actual physical one. The action, this quantity that we defined, action is an integral, | 152.12 | 163.16 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t163.16 | x6YWpe9xHMg | if that's okay, the sum over all the different moments of time of kinetic minus potential energies. | 163.16 | 169.08 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t173.0 | x6YWpe9xHMg | Over time, okay. So, and then you minimize the action, you get the least action to get the actual | 173 | 179.32 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t179.32 | x6YWpe9xHMg | path. It seems like precognition is going on here, right? It seems like the particle leaves at point | 179.32 | 187.88 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t187.88 | x6YWpe9xHMg | X0 at time T0 and it immediately has a velocity, right? Like there's some velocity that the particle | 187.88 | 194.28 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t194.28 | x6YWpe9xHMg | actually has right at that moment and following that velocity in the Newtonian paradigm, we would | 194.28 | 199.96 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t199.95999999999998 | x6YWpe9xHMg | say at every moment we chug forward using f equals m a and we get to the final point. But in this | 199.96 | 205.24 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t205.24 | x6YWpe9xHMg | picture, we say, well, it could have taken other paths. It could have gone on other velocities and | 205.24 | 210.2 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t210.20000000000002 | x6YWpe9xHMg | done other things. But then the this integrated quantity called the action would have been higher. | 210.2 | 216.36 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t216.36 | x6YWpe9xHMg | So it didn't take those. It took the one with the least action, even though the action is this | 216.36 | 220.92 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t220.92000000000002 | x6YWpe9xHMg | non local quantity, this quantity that can only be evaluated by already knowing what the path is, | 220.92 | 227.48 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t227.48 | x6YWpe9xHMg | right? How did it know? What to do? So I don't want to, there's no answer to this in a simple way. | 227.48 | 235.16 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t235.16 | x6YWpe9xHMg | It's just to point out that the question is badly phrased. You know, it didn't know. The particle | 235.16 | 241.08 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t241.07999999999998 | x6YWpe9xHMg | didn't guess. The particle doesn't think about every single path ahead of time and then choose | 241.08 | 247.24 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t247.23999999999998 | x6YWpe9xHMg | to go on the path of least action. There is a way the particle moves and that way can be specified | 247.24 | 254.36 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t254.36 | x6YWpe9xHMg | by saying of all the paths, it is the one with the least action. So one way of thinking about this | 254.36 | 259.56 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t259.56 | x6YWpe9xHMg | is, you know, I said in words that minimizing the action gives us the same path as the Newtonian | 259.56 | 268.04 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t268.04 | x6YWpe9xHMg | way of doing things starting with f equals m a, but it's more specific than that. So let me talk | 268.04 | 273 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t273.0 | x6YWpe9xHMg | about minimizing a path. What does it mean to minimize something? Minimize the action. | 273 | 278.84 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t278.84 | x6YWpe9xHMg | Minimize in math terms, how do we find the minimum of any function? Okay, so let's imagine | 278.84 | 287.88 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t287.88 | x6YWpe9xHMg | the much simpler function f of x as a function of x. So this is not x, the position is just x | 287.88 | 295 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t295.0 | x6YWpe9xHMg | sum variable, we don't know what it is. And someone has a function that does something like this. | 295 | 298.84 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t299.55999999999995 | x6YWpe9xHMg | How do we know where the minimum of that function is? Well, you can see it. There it is. You and I | 299.56 | 304.92 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t304.92 | x6YWpe9xHMg | can see it just by looking, but math can't see it or a computer can't see it. How would we | 304.92 | 310.84 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t310.84000000000003 | x6YWpe9xHMg | mathematically figure out where the minimum is? Again, I should have said this a long time ago, | 310.84 | 315.56 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t315.56 | x6YWpe9xHMg | but the point is we know that the slope of that curve is the derivative, the change in f as we | 315.56 | 324.68 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t324.68 | x6YWpe9xHMg | change x. And the point about the minimum is that at the minimum, the slope d f dx equals zero. That's | 324.68 | 335.08 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t335.08 | x6YWpe9xHMg | the mathematical way of saying where the minimum is. The minimum is the point, if it's a minimum, | 335.08 | 341.32 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t341.32 | x6YWpe9xHMg | then at the minimum, the slope is zero. So the derivative is zero. So to solve for the minimum | 341.32 | 346.76 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t346.76 | x6YWpe9xHMg | mathematically, you take the function f, you differentiate it, you find its derivative, you set | 346.76 | 352.52 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t352.52 | x6YWpe9xHMg | the derivative equal to zero, and then you solve that equation. That's an equation, some expression | 352.52 | 356.84 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t356.84 | x6YWpe9xHMg | in terms of x, the whole thing equals zero, you solve it, you find the minimum. So that is what | 356.84 | 362.52 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t362.52 | x6YWpe9xHMg | you do up here, of course, for the least action principle, you take the action, but the action | 362.52 | 368.04 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t368.03999999999996 | x6YWpe9xHMg | is not a function of one variable, like x. It's a function of all the different paths you could | 368.04 | 372.68 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t372.68 | x6YWpe9xHMg | go on, right? Here's another path you could have gone on. So you have to do a much more complicated | 372.68 | 379.16 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t379.16 | x6YWpe9xHMg | integral. This is the subject called the calculus of variations, the idea that you have an infinite | 379.16 | 385.08 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t385.08000000000004 | x6YWpe9xHMg | dimensional space, the space of all possible paths. But nevertheless, you can find one path and then | 385.08 | 390.76 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t390.76000000000005 | x6YWpe9xHMg | take the derivative of some quantity, like the action, as you change the path by a little bit. In | 390.76 | 396.28 |
https://youtu.be/x6YWpe9xHMg | The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | Q&A 3 - Force, Energy, and Action | 2020-04-12T15:32:41Z | x6YWpe9xHMg-t396.28000000000003 | x6YWpe9xHMg | fact, the mathematically rigorous way to define it is to basically turn that infinite dimensional | 396.28 | 401.16 |
