theory of everything

[shrewd cliff]

i figured out the concept i just need help with the math

[cinder vortex]

Impossible

[shrewd cliff]

why

i figured it out

i have a pretty comprehensive theory

[cinder vortex]

Explain

[shrewd cliff]

im starting to figure out the link between quantum mechanics and general relativity

[cinder vortex]

Have you united gravity and quantum

[shrewd cliff]

that part i havnt fully fletched out yet

i dont have the math skills

but essentially i think of the universe as a giant ball thats expanding at the speed of light

and everything is happening everywhere on the ball

[cinder vortex]

Do you understand general relativity

[shrewd cliff]

i think for the most part yes

it is e=mc^2

[oblique furnace]

If anything this is special relativity ...

[shrewd cliff]

what is special relativity

[oblique furnace]

.

[shrewd cliff]

I dont know everything

[cinder vortex]

I don’t think you understand what general relativity is about

[shrewd cliff]

what is it about

[cinder vortex]

Geometries and curvature of space and tensors it is only a little more complicated than special ✅

[shrewd cliff]

i think my theory combines special relativity and general relativity

[cinder vortex]

What is your theory

[shrewd cliff]

well its a start to a theory because i dont have the math yet

this is general relativity right

[cinder vortex]

Um

[shrewd cliff]

yes

mass bends space and time

right

[oblique furnace]

It's a simplified picture of what general relativity explains mathematically, yes.

[shrewd cliff]

im not as deep into the math of it so thats why its hard for you guys to get what im saying

[oblique furnace]

Although "understanding" that mass bends spacetime doesn't mean you understand general relativity.

[shrewd cliff]

do you konw the inverse square law

[shrewd cliff]

okay. ur right i dont understand the math but i still get the concept

[oblique furnace]

The point is it's a surface level understanding.

[shrewd cliff]

the surface level understanding is the fundamentals of it

[oblique furnace]

It's not though. You understand a picture that was created as a way to help people get intuition on the subject.

[shrewd cliff]

then what is the fundamentals of it

[oblique furnace]

If it was that easy universities would give out physics degrees to anyone that watches interstellar

[shrewd cliff]

you can get the same knowledge someone has witha phd from the internet nowadays

[oblique furnace]

My jab wasn't at the fact that you need a degree, it was just pointing out that understanding a picture doesn't mean you understand the thing at all.

In any case, what you've said so far is that you think the universe is a "ball" expanding at the speed of light with "everything happening everywhere in the ball". This is very vague.
How does this constitute a theory of everything? What does it explain that modern physical model candidates for unifying theories don't?

[umbral briar]

imo there are a lot of nuances you miss by oversimplifying GR into this one image

[shrewd cliff]

like what

[oblique furnace]

It's a full moon soon... I guess the crackpotverse is leaking

[shrewd cliff]

so someone expalain what general relativity is

[umbral briar]

how many dimensions are involved here?

[shrewd cliff]

4

[umbral briar]

what is the source of the curvature of the grid?

[shrewd cliff]

gravity

mass

[umbral briar]

what else?

[shrewd cliff]

the curviter is gravity the thing responsible for it is mass

energy does not directly bend space and time

it can

but it also doesnt

[umbral briar]

then, explain the presence of the stress-energy tensor in Einstein's field equations

[shrewd cliff]

thats the math part that i dont have a great understanding of

explain it to me

[umbral briar]

that's not just math. the fact that a stress-energy tensor is present at all should cue you to the fact that energy also bends spacetime

you don't even need to know the clobbering behind the field equations, but the fact that it is there should clue you into the fact that energy must somehow affect spacetime

why would it be there otherwise?

please tell me you have at least seen this equation.

[shrewd cliff]

i told you im really not deep in the math

what is the stress-energy tensor

[umbral briar]

@oblique furnace can i leave it to you hahah

[shrewd cliff]

scared youll get it wrong?

[oblique furnace]

There are complete course about that. Yes, the main idea of GR is the redefining of gravity as the curvature of spacetime warped by mass, but what Hana is trying to get you to understand is that it's a highly simplified statement .. it isn't the whole picture and claiming that you've got GR sorted out by understanding that sentence or an image is like saying you can pilot a plane by watching Snakes on the Plane

[shrewd cliff]

its all good

lol

[umbral briar]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–energy_tensor
sure. you wanna dig deep?

[oblique furnace]

They've been more than understanding with you, there is no need for the snarky remark.

[shrewd cliff]

sorryy

[shrewd cliff]

that analogy does not make sense in this situation

because there is no downside to talking out of your ass

and expressing your ideas

[oblique furnace]

I'm not saying there is

[umbral briar]

for all we know, maybe there IS a theory of everything

[shrewd cliff]

i think there is

[umbral briar]

but if the person claiming to have a ToE doesn't fully understand the fields they're uniting

is the ToE valid?

what are the chances your ToE model is valid?

i'm not against ToEs - far from it

i love linking fields together

[shrewd cliff]

idk i havent done any math

[umbral briar]

but claiming a ToE is a very big deal. ever heard of the Langlands program?

[shrewd cliff]

no

is that money for me

lol

[umbral briar]

if you have the ability to really construct a rigorous ToE, all the more power to you, and go for it!

but make sure you understand every part of your own ToE and the fields you're combining

[shrewd cliff]

yeah

[umbral briar]

not surface-level, but actually knowing what does what

i'll be honest with you that even I don't fully understand GR and SR

[shrewd cliff]

i think with my own theory i understand it but i need to dive deeper for it to be valid

[umbral briar]

then start here.

[shrewd cliff]

okay

what the flip does this mean

[umbral briar]

and also, your question might be better-suited for the physics server next time

[shrewd cliff]

lemme join that

ive been searching for discord server that i can go to

[umbral briar]

simply put, the LHS is the curvature of spacetime. the RHS has G, the universal gravitational constant, c, the speed of light, and T_mu(rho), the stress-energy tensor
this equation relates them together

i'll give you only this much as this is devolving quickly into a crash course in GR, which is not exactly what help channels are for

[shrewd cliff]

9.8

[umbral briar]

not gravitational acceleration

[shrewd cliff]

oh

whats the gravitational constant

[umbral briar]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

if you want further answers to your very open-ended questions, i suggest either using discussion or going to the physics server

[shrewd cliff]

gotchu

thank you

[umbral briar]

you are trying to learn p much GR from scratch, which isn't the point of a help channel

nps

[shrewd cliff]

can i add you

ur smart

[umbral briar]

no

read my bio

[shrewd cliff]

okay whatever

ego be like

[cinder vortex]

You should be thankful she was nice to you

[shrewd cliff]

i a

am

i thanked her

so whats the physics server

[cinder vortex]

discord.gg/physics

[umbral briar]

apparently not accepting friend reqs in general is now egoistical lol

[cinder vortex]

If they come back with sufficient knowledge to propose the theory of everything will you accept it then

[umbral briar]

still no

[shrewd cliff]

i feel like that makes sense

[umbral briar]

idk if you have ever considered that people might have other personal reasons they don't accept friend reqs

maybe they've been harassed before? or maybe a lot of scammers add them?

let's not jump to conclusions from one statement like you did with GR lol

[shrewd cliff]

okay im sorry

but if you get harrassed then just block the person

and if its spam just mute notis

thats what i do

and i have 11 thousand discord notis

[urban dock]

I found a guy with some very original physics theories on YT and twitter, @ matteras machine

Genuinely simple explanations for the most part , simplifying things like time dilation, and unfiying lots of differnet concepts

[worn widget]

first time i've seen a theory of everything crank

[cinder vortex]

first time seeing a BALLUS crank
