Did a few muons just change physics? | [OFFICE HOURS] Podcast #048

yeah no it's this guy named chris sparks no no he opened up no no before even before he even started streaming he he hit us with a 500 donation yeah he said something about he knows my true nature and you know what that means it means we cannot allow him to speak to anyone anything yeah this location oh hello and that was nothing oh sorry i love you bye hello and welcome to office hours a live component of the facility where good old professor kyle opens up his blast doors and gives you a fancy digital transition and lets you the general public and my wonderful staff professors associate researchers interns who get me coffee and my security team asks professor kyle any old question uh that your heart desires and we'll also be going through a number of topics as we'll want to do on this show uh this week we'll be getting to a number of interesting topics hopefully in between all your comments questions and uh questioning why i'm wearing such a casual shirt today we'll be talking about the new particle physics news and whether or not we should get super excited about it spoiler spoiler alert maybe uh we'll also be talking about mosquitoes we'll be talking about a new way to upscale footage into slow motion even though the data isn't there and how that relates to your brain and how all of reality is a is a lie uh we'll also be taking one of your comments questions from the last episode at the facility which was kind of a personal one and finally we'll be talking about yuri gagarin gagarin if we get that far but before i get to all that of course you all in the super chats um if you really really want to speak with me you can try super chat on youtube i try my very best to get to everyone who leaves a super chat um but if i don't please know that you're still simping for science and you're paying for my fancy voice changers we had chris sparks with the 500 to open the stream we have peanuts and lart peanuts enlargement pills with the 19 says no questions i just wanted a simple science to see how easy that is and it doesn't have to stop here you can also continue this conversation with me every day on discord and patreon where you're getting members only live streams behind the scenes photos and all that stuff if you go to patreon.com kyle hill as my security team is putting in the chat yes that's the security team in the chat one is a castle made of beef and another is a bucket with a wrench don't make them mad because they know how to use it snow wolf with the 25 donation before we get to our first topic in particle physics hey show kyle the love did i do that right i guess so i know staring at the sun is bad but how much of a risk is it mitigated by closed eyelids well uh your eyelids aren't completely opaque some sunlight comes through your eyelids obviously that's why you have to close your eyes at night or close your eyes to make things uh darker to you um but because the luminance the brilliance of the sun is so high um you still probably shouldn't stare at it don't stare at the sun even if your eyes are closed you know why i have to say that because i don't know the exact answer to your question and i don't want to be responsible for any dumb dumbs going blind line travis hoff with the five says hey how many kevins are there inside of the facility trick question how many facilities are inside of kevin's yeah think about that joe bassett with the 20 says first live stream i've been to in a while so glad to be here joe i love that you're here i have no personal connection to you but i like that you're here uh heavy weapons guy with the 10 says show hi kyle the love as a physics fan can't wait for you to get into muons and other funky particles up and down chaos by the way sheila is loose in the fruit garden again can we get someone i know the collar is a hassle but just just put it you just throw meat in front of her and then you she animal control around here is quite dumb and let's go to lucyfox with the 20 says kyle your hair is wonderful is the hey thanks is the oxygen destroyer bomb from godzilla king of monsters possible and how bad would it be let's pause the super chats for a second so we can get on to our first topic i have no idea what the oxygen destroyer bomb in godzilla king of monsters is supposed to do um and i have no idea how the hollow earth in the godzilla verse is supposed to work and that's it i was going to say something about i used to work for legendary pictures but why don't we just skip that for this long time lurker first time super chatter says okay you like that my lips are fast particle physics you may have heard about this big news in the land of physics that's some weird particles are making some physicists consider whether or not there is a new fundamental force in the universe now obviously if there were a new fundamental force in the universe that would be big big big news why because we have right now what's called the standard model of particle physics this is a full theoretical description of more or less everything we've ever observed in the universe at the smallest scales and within the standard model within all these theories that encompass leptons quarks muons electrons neutrons all that stuff within this model there are predictions it makes right so any theory that you have it says well if this xy were to happen then it might produce z the standard model has been one of the most six if not the most successful scientific theory in human history it produces the most accurate predictions of any model and it has guided physics theoretical physics particle physics for a hundred years so to have something that describes everything in the known universe to a pretty uh accurate degree to have that be missing some fundamental pillar of this coliseum of science would be a big deal another reason why the standard model is so important is the scope of it the the forces involved the the the uh results it can produce from its theories really leave no other room in the universe for other stuff okay by which i mean there doesn't seem to be any room for any other fundamental forces using from exploring things on the quantum level to scaling all thing things up to particle accelerators like we'll talk about in a second like a fermi lab and large hadron collider we have explored an energy range for the universe where it seems like there's nothing else it seems like we're not missing anything that's how successful this uh standard model has been you can extend that outwards of course to say well uh for for certain claims for example uh you know the human spirit is some sort of energy floating energy and maybe ghosts are that energy and they're just in a different dimension and they have a higher wavelength right no right now everything that you and i should be able to interact with on our medium scale in this universe we're not very big we're not very small we're somewhere in the middle everything that you and i should be able to interact with is very well explained by the standard model which means if you have a ghost encounter it's probably not evidence of a new fundamental force in the universe you are probably just scared of something totally reasonable so i say all that to say this to have something come along and possibly shake the foundations of particle physics the standard model that's a big deal so what was going on here well physicists at fermilab just a couple of days ago uh on april 7th they released results that confirmed early results from about 15 years ago 15 years ago physicists at the brookhaven national laboratory they discovered that one of these particles one of these fundamental particles muons which uh physics physicists like to call fat electrons they're like they're like electrons but they be chunky so these physicists at brookhaven 15 years ago and now at fermilab found that the muon wasn't acting as it should more specifically that its magnetic moment how it's affected by magnetism and what it does inside of electrical and magnetic fields wasn't lining up with what the theory predicted now that's a problem because as i said when a theory is that successful if your experimental results do not fit within your theory one of them is wrong richard feynman the genius richard feynman physicist he used to say that if your theory doesn't fit with experimental results your theory is wrong but of course you could also have done the experiment wrong which we'll get to so the wiggle of this muon if you think about it this is not accurate of course but if you think about it just like a ball and how it's spinning how it was wiggling as it moved through fields these giant super powerful electromagnetic fields inside of particle accelerators very very powerful magnetic fields how it was being tracked its movement was not fitting with theory so these two results taken together have led a number of news outlets a number of my colleagues like physics girl and others to say well this might be a new fundamental force of the universe this might change the standard model this might uh this might be cray cray as physicists often say trust me so there's two possibilities here right this experiment is correct and the results are correct and therefore the theory is missing something and that's what would lead to possibly a new force or what have you the second option is that the theory was missing something in the first place and that when you do it with a better resolution when you understand the theory a little bit better or you change the theory a little bit it will produce the experimental results that you're looking for so there's this gap in understanding what is wrong is it the experimental result or is the theory and how do we realize this well i'm bringing up this tension because everyone is kind of breathlessly reporting that all physics might change but what are the chances that all physics well foundational physics we totally missed something or we totally didn't predict something what are the chances of that versus us as hairless apes living on a biofilm of a rock floating through nothingness what are the chances that we're wrong about something i'd say that's higher and so within days of the fermi lab publishing these results some theoretical physicists part of the budapest marseille whooperall collaboration a large-scale club collaboration of physicists who have been trying to see if the older theory the older prediction was incorrect um for a while they published recently in the journal nature on the same day as these results and they found something interesting what they did was to see they wanted to see if this muon wiggling was truly not predicted by the standard model so they went back to the standard model itself now the standard model a lot of it was founded and calculated and established a long time ago almost 100 years ago paul dirac 1928 long time ago and so what this team did all the way fast forward into 2021 the darkest timeline what they did is they went back to the predictions the equations the theories oh sorry rather the equations and the theories and they tried they threw everything at them they tried to update them they tried to make sure they were as rigorous as possible they did that by putting them through intensely powerful super computers things that uh a hundred years ago you could only dream of calculations you could only dream of that would just not be possible the computer would fill an entire warehouse kind of thing and so what they did is they took the weak the weak and strong nuclear forces electromagnetic forces and gravity forces and they plotted them in this calculatable space it was kind of uh as they said it was kind of like a weather system um it was kind of like a an atmospheric model you you take a model of the atmosphere you you have some sort of physical calculated space then you throw in all the equations how you think stuff works and then you watch how that model evolves over time how do things interact with each other how do little particles wiggle for example so they went back with super computers they used millions of computer processing hours at multiple supercomputer centers in europe all at the same time and they threw all these old equations into this calculatable space and then they saw or and then they tried to calculate try to predict remember good theories predict ex good experimental results they tried to predict what the muon would do once these super computers had a crack at how a physical system would evolve using the standard model and lo and behold what did this new team publishing on the exact same day as these foundation changing results what did they find well they found that using the new updated idea of how the theories worked in the universe they found that the muons wiggled exactly how the fermilab muons wiggled and exactly like the brookhaven muons wiggled this means with their update with their reinterpretation of the old theories they got the results that were supposed to break the theory now i should say that like anything in science this is open to further investigation this is one study from one team although it is a number of theoretical physicists working with multiple super computers across all of europe so this result can always be updated changed and challenged however like i was alluding to earlier the chances that the particle model uh the standard model is definitely missing something big i think is much lower than oh we ran we were finally able to run particle model equations through super computers that weren't available 100 years ago and it predicted the results that you saw which means the theory is still good so i would i don't have the answer to whether or not this is none of us no no scientist has the answer to as to whether or not the muon is truly wiggling weirdly however it would appear as though without breaking the standard model you can still get the weird results that were observed which means the standard model is not wrong there isn't a new fundamental force in the universe and physics is not broken that could be the case but in my view we'd have to see some pretty strong evidence otherwise as carl sagan like to say especially if you want to you know change the foundation of physics extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and i don't know if we have that just yet but what i do know that i have is your comments wow my transitions are just fantastic remy animation with the 10 says how much chocolate would it take to kill a werewolf why if a werewolf is like a dog um then take take the toxicity rating the md uh the ld50 which is the lowest dose that you need to kill fifty percent of a population the ld50 you can look this up so the ld50 is a toxic is a toxicity rating and uh that is um a mass per mass value so something for chocolate uh chocolate toxicity to dogs is gonna be some amount say grams per kilogram so a small uh it's gonna take less chocolate to kill a small dog than it would a large dog so once you have that ratio if werewolves are basically dogs who cares take the ld50 for chocolate for dogs and input the mass of an average lycanthrope and then you'll get how much chocolate in grams or kilograms that you need to kill a werewolf what a weird question isn't it weird that i can do that kind of crap off the top of my head that's what five years because science gets you uh sat darshan singh casala with a 19 thank you so much i love your hair steve honeybadger with the 25 dd do you think the human race has the ability and technology to build a space station big enough to simulate gravity like in the martian by rotation absolutely i don't think it would be that hard to build a small space station with rotational gravity if you do the math you can get a very small revolution you don't you don't need to revolve all that fast if the ring you're evolving is very wide and i think the basic value is like one kilometer wide and you spin that at a totally doable speed and get one g of gravity on the inside of the ring i think that's doable within our lifetime probably uh altec phoenix with the five says kyle love the show hey not gonna lie i miss your badass skills writing things mirrored in some of your previous works well i have some bad news that's done i'm not doing that uh jason lowenthal who i recognize from an email uh with the five dollar says can't you just ask the jupiter brain to correct the answer about the standard model hashtags and for science in effect jason that's what these scientists did they they ran these old equations through something with much much much more computational power and it produced what we saw and that's good for the standard model um don't need a jupiter brain apparently although i'm sure it would help cheech ola with the australian 31 dollars he says g'day kyle how do we navigate in space there's not really a north or south is there is i'm sorry i apologize for the accent is there a space north no that doesn't sound right cheers you space legend um you navigate in space relative to something else it's the same way you navigate against the horizon or anything here on earth uh you know you you know uh orient yourself to the north pole south pole etc uh in the cardinal directions in space you have to pick you have to be very careful in picking your frames of reference that's how you get your relative speed and and how to get to to a place i don't i don't have a more specific answer uh for you because i'm not an astrophysicist but maybe you should tweet it dr mu she could probably give you some ryan c says 10 with the 10 says but what about ufos uh there are certainly unidentified flying objects that people have reported but there is and there's never been good evidence for aliens uh visiting earth in the way that you might mean order of anima with 10 says is it possible that the big bang was just a universe of matter and a universe of anti-matter meeting at a singularity and annihilating thus casting them to form parallel universes i have no idea but if your idea has legs submit it to a journal and they'll tell you or they'll totally ignore you jeremy humans with the 10 says when did humanity discover the necessary the neces the necessity of salt in our diet any idea when rock salt was discovered think about this jeremy why do you have taste buds at all why do you taste stuff why can't you just eat stuff well one evolutionary theory would be that taste buds evolve for creatures such as we to let you know when you are getting nutrients that are required for life so why can you taste salty and bitter you could taste salt because we need it in our diet you can taste bitter things because we've evolved to have some sort of poison control in our mouths oh that might be bad why do pregnant women have their taste their tastes and what they like and what things taste like change when they're having a baby when they're pregnant one theory hard to prove one theory is that their body is changing taste to let them know what they need more of or not when they're growing another life so why do you taste things in the first place when did you discover that salt was uh um necessary for your diet millions and millions and millions of years ago when taste buds were first a thing uh we have ano anko karavan with the 10 says kyle hey love the show just wanted to thank you for being you have you ever read brandon sanderson's the stormlight archive it's a fantasy series does his best to be realistic in a magical way no i've been recommended uh that book series before and i know my buddies over at the command zone podcast uh have played with him and like his books a lot so maybe i'll talk into one of those nick moore and let's pause the super chats for a second so we can get on to our next topic which i don't i don't know if i want to talk about mosquitoes i don't i want to show you some cool technology uh nick moore with the 20 says hey kyle first time in a stream and now a patron thank you for joining this make sure to go uh to the back one of the cabins will show you and you'll get a nice white lab coat to drape over your shoulders now a patreon wants to thank you for renewing my interest in physics and specifically particle physics i've been working on a conceptual machine with a friend that would ruin the universe well your evil tendencies will fit in nicely here at the facility but i would caution you before you get too far in thinking that you revolutionize physics or come up with an idea that no one's ever thought before you're getting back into schooling and learning bounce it off a professor or someone in the field they will point you in the right direction because the great thing about science is that it builds upon itself it's a progressive body of knowledge you do not have to start from scratch and so often when you start from scratch you're wrong but you don't have to do that anymore there are hundreds of years of some of the smartest people to ever live them taking their entire lives to investigate stuff so we don't have to start from scratch anymore we can stand on the soldier we can stand on the soldier we can stand on the shoulders of giants as isaac newton said so be like isaac newton except you should probably get out a little bit more elizabeth calvert with a 50 50 says oh no i'm late two weeks in a row sorry liz it's fine tell alex i said hi my tiny human wants to know how why is dark matter making the universe expand we don't know we have no idea um dark energy so two things tiny human alex dark energy is what we suspect is pushing the universe apart at an expanding rate it used to be called the cosmological constant back when uh einstein was thinking about it but we have no idea what dark energy is we just know it has this some sort of anti-gravitational effect dark matter on the other uh hand is more like matter it's not like an expanding energy kind of thing it's more of when we look at galaxies they're spinning around too fast they're spinning like they have more mat when we look at galaxies we look at them like dang that's spinning really fast then we look at how much mass is in them we look at all the stars we calculate how much mass is probably spinning around that galaxy we say that is not enough it's spinning too fast it should have x amount more mass that x amount of mass that we can't see and that isn't interacting with anything we call dark matter right now we have no idea what it is as neil degrasse tyson said we might as well call it fred we don't know what it is right now but neil degrasse tyson also gets roasted by stakehomes on twitter so you know you know take it with a grain of salt let's talk about stuff how reality is a lie there we go so i came across a very very cool paper via reddit and what this was doing is using artificial intelligence to change the kinds of information we can get out of a visual medium now you know my thoughts on social media and artificial intelligence and that kind of thing but this is a very cool application of it so this is called depth aware video frame interpolation so think about a movie it runs at around 24 frames per second you probably know that when things have more than that like 60 frames per second things start to look a lot more smooth and weird and you probably also know that when the frame rate get keeps bumping up higher and higher that's when you start to slow things down things become slow motion high speed cameras that kind of thing now the traditional problem is with creating 60 frames per second 100 000 frames per second like a phantom camera can do the traditional problem with that is that you need a really nice camera you need a camera that can the shutter can move fast enough it can capture enough information such that it's capturing each one of these frames storing that information is able to play it back now not every camera can do that and there's information lost between frames that you're not getting so if you think of time as like one big block if you're only getting 24 frames per second if you have a block of one second universe you know 24 frames and if you're getting a hundred thousand frames that's why you're seeing so much more of what reality had to offer in that moment um my friend and mentor adam savage he just said recently you know like um the high speed camera was like another host on mythbusters because it was it was maybe their most important tool because it it let them see aspects of the universe that at the human frame rate you just lose you lose this information so what's really cool about this research is that they're using artificial intelligence to artificially create that information between between frames that wasn't captured to bump up frame rates now naturally you can't do this because you don't have that information in between but what this research is doing is using artificial intelligence to more or less say hey if we're running at 15 20 60 frames per second the scenes don't actually change all that much between frames so why don't we use a computer to simulate what that in between frame would look like okay so using artificial intelligence to insert more frames by assuming that the frames in between don't change that much so the computer is creating fake pictures in between real frames and stitching it all together now what does that all look like hopefully this is going to work so this is a this is what this research can do when you take a 15 frames per second stop motion animation and then you interpolate it you add artificial frames in between to bump up stop motion to 60 frames per second and you'll notice immediately how this goes from looking like stop motion animation that you could do to movie quality look at the difference it's absolutely astonishing to me where remember on the right here we don't actually have this information this is supposed to be at 15 frames per second but a computer an artificial intelligence is putting frames in between the frames based on what it thinks it's going to see in between it can make stop motion at 15 go to 60 which is incredible the same research can go way up so again if you're originally filming at 30 frames per second then having a 400 you can't really see this on the right but on the furthest right it's at 480 frames per second that would be impossible to do if you framed at 30 frames per second or it would look terrible except when you use an artificial intelligence to fill in the gaps of information you get make sure you can see this oh you can good you get this so you can see on the left choppy 30 frames per second trying to go slow motion and then on the far right smooth is butter totally smooth because an artificial intelligence is adding more information than was ever there and again the same research can be used to do make footage look absolutely incredible this is taking the apollo 16 lunar rover 1972 taking that original footage using an artificial intelligence and making it 4k and 60 frames per second and stabilizing it and the result looks like this this looks like it was filmed at a movie studio with a modern camera it's incredible footage really look at that i've never seen this footage look this good now i bring all of this up as one point just as a very cool technology but to give you kind of a weird insight about the brain humans every everything creatures can only perceive the world in more or less certain frame rates we test this uh what's called a critical fusion threshold we test this in animals by taking a light bulb and we blink it at them and then we blink it faster and faster and your critical threshold is when you cannot tell that it's blinking anymore when it just looks like a static image for humans that's around 24 frames per second which is to say if i flashed a light bulb at you on and off 24 times each second it would look like it was on and no fl and no blinking other creatures have higher and lower thresholds so like an eel at the bottom of the ocean might have 10 frames per second life would look very choppy fruit flies have like 150 frames per second their world would look like it's in slow motion to us like a slow-motion camera and you wonder why it's so hard to hit them oh and it's like i should move out of the way all right so like this research this research is adding in frames that aren't there your brain does exactly the same thing if you think about the fact that you only perceive the world more or less at 24 frames per second which is an analogy but 24 frames per second that means you are missing some information in the world that means when things around you happen really really quickly things you might want to respond to in your ancient environment when you're evolving for example you step on a rattlesnake's tail you want to react really quickly you don't want to lose information and so what your brain does when you move your eyes when you look around your brain is doing the same thing that this ai is doing it is interpolating what the world should look like when you don't have that information your brain is creating reality where it doesn't exist this has to be the case sorry excuse me there we go that has to be the case because think of every when you move your head side to side like this watch my eyes watch how my eyes do not fluidly move but they rather make these saccodes they're called now each time my eye does this in between that i'm not seeing some portion of the world it is literally black but you don't see that because your brain is adding in the information between these eye movements if you did not have this you would experience you would experience darkness for seconds or minutes per day at least you'd be seeing it you'd be having these flicks with your eyes maybe go dark dark and so like this research your brain creates reality where you did not even perceive it physically and you can extend many of these kinds of physiological insights into oh does reality really exist who am i why am i here well we don't have to get into all that i want to know what you have to say about it it's kind of rambling a little bit uh fragrance free vaseline says witchcraft uh mad cow says so wait you're saying there's art there's already artificial intelligence inside of our brains well no it's not artificial it's just intelligence so much of what your brain does is not conscious you should know that like you you're not controlling your heartbeat you don't manage your your circulatory system your immune system so much most of what your brain does is subconscious so certain so it shouldn't surprise you that a lot of back-end processing happens without your conscious knowledge but once you realize that it is happening it makes you rethink how much of reality is actually available to you and are you even free and does free will exist and you know forget about it uh anthony montoya you kill my father says with a 19 what happens to a black hole when it has lost enough mass through hawking radiation it's only one solar mass left um you can do that calculation i don't know it off the top of my head but if you just google a hawking radiation calculator it will give you a time value if you input a mass value so input a um uh one solar mass into a calculator like that it should give you a time value it might be really small or it might not i think because it's like exponential only when they get really really tiny like micro sized do they evaporate super quick brandon roth um not superman but brandon roth says from one long-haired brother to another can we get another hair flip no i'm no i don't just perform for you that's worm that's what my only fans is for grim reaper of trolls with the 999 can we use super computers to see if our equations for dark matter slash uh oh see if our equations actually account for dark matter and energy like they did with the muon wiggle have they already done that no idea um we don't even have a like we don't even we don't have theories for what dark matter will do we don't have like a standard model for dark matter so it'd be hard to put a bunch of equations through some sort of computer excuse me i always right around this time that's when i start losing the voice very frustrating uh nelson chandra chandra if you play magic like me with the 20 says hey kyle love the science your video about your superpower made me realize i might not just be an eccentric introverted nerd i've learned a lot about myself this last week and it explained so much much love stay cool nelson thank you so much we'll be talking about that in just a second um but thank you for simping and thank you for uh supporting uh the organizations that we mentioned steve honeybadger coming in again hot with a 25 it says do you think there's a good possibility of life in the liquid water oceans underneath under the ice of europa don't know but if it's gonna be somewhere it would be the reason why we look at places like europa and titan is because we only have a data point of one we only know of how life on earth evolved and exists so if it's the chances that life as we know it exists on another planet are higher on a planet that has similar conditions like liquid water so that's why we look there it's not that the chances are super good it's that if well if they're going to be anywhere and we're looking for life like we know it then that's good there could be life like we don't know it somewhere in the solar system but since we already know life can do the thing in water that's where we look in the water i'm a rost with a ten since i found a mood i found a mood watch for my childhood it changes color based on mood i'm sure it's based off temperature but i'm curious can temperature actually determine mood gosh darn it um i'm sure that there is some sort of correlation between body temperature and heat maps of your body and mood um i don't know if it's a good correlation i think there was a um yeah i think there was a recent study on this look up mood uh temperature no emotion temperature map spider-man uh because i think they mapped out what the heat map of a human body looked like while experiencing certain emotions i think and one of the heat maps look like spider-man because they were using blue and red um but i i believe that was tracking emotional um differential heating of the body based on emotions the body was going through so in a sense a mood ring would work that way but only if the ring was in the area of say like is your finger getting hot and cold a good sense of all the possible ways your body can heat up probably not i mean you can probably get flush and just your face heats up or your midsection your core heats up or your feet get cold and if those are correlated with certain emotions which i think they are according to the study i mentioned if someone could put in the chat then having a ring on your finger would not be a good indicator for that so you need like a mood suit kevin uh mood ring but the material all over your body right yeah that would be bad you might not want to have the mood suit over every part of your body kevin reminds me that might be a little awkward in certain situations or all the time jt twisted the 1532 says no question i just say want to keep up the good work and i love what you do speaking of good work i want to talk a little bit about what we talked about last week at the facility something a little personal bear with me so last week i published a video basically coming out as neurodivergent um in 2016 i was i was uh diagnosed with asd on the autism spectrum and in that video if you want to watch it i go through at length my experience um what that diagnosis has done for me what understanding that about myself has done for me what telling others has done for me and i was working with aane who provided a lot of support and took the time to talk to me not once but like three times with their experts and i wanted to bounce ideas off of them am i doing this right will i help people um and since i published that video we've had what 15 000 comments on the video i've been getting dozens of emails from many of you watching many of you new facility staff members maybe this is your first time on the stream i know that you came here because of that video and i got to be honest it's not a comfortable thing i do not like sharing personal information about myself but at some point it became a cost benefit for me while it might make me uncomfortable and i don't like sharing personal information if it will possibly help a lot of people then you do the math you should do it and so i did it and i'm happy to report that everyone at a n e was very very pleased and we want to continue that partnership and do good things for the community if possible and thanks to many of you many of you who wrote me emails and sent me messages aane over the weekend got triple the number of calls and appointments and meetings than they usually do over a weekend we more than tripled it their exposure in their reach so in my mind that is doing actual real good in the world and i'm very proud of that i don't know if i'm going to be talking about it in the future if i'll make more videos about it um you know this is a science channel that's kind of what i do but i wanted to try to do some good if i could so thank you to everyone who sent me messages and engaged with me and if i was at any help at all to you or anyone you know um that is very humbling and i'm honored and all i can do is try to do my best while i'm here while i'm in this little uh spotlight my time in the sun oh i'll be right back oh my throat [Music] coming up at the facility kyle speaks with none other than miguel akubiere the very theoretical physicist who popularized warp drive the guy who the alcubierre drive is named after that's right we have a full interview with him in an upcoming episode of the facility and a full the full uncut interview will also be going up for patriots at patreon.com kylo so if you want to see that ho ho get in soon baby we have d b z m k one with a hundred euro donation says i got interested in buy it biochemical bio oh geez i can't read i got interested in biochar and pyrolysis recently but i found conflicting information about its benefits to the environment how should i go about figuring out which information is correct well that's hard i'm not an expert on biochar and stuff like that um but i would start with institutions research organizations university labs find a good lab that studies it a lot find the professor see if they're on twitter find a postdoc ask somebody some questions email people nerds are always very happy to talk about their scientific work i find so if you find start with institutions before you you you don't want to start with industry websites like hey we sell biochar and it's the tops ring-a-ding-ding don't start there start at the source of the science try to find a lab um cassandra ledu with the 20 a few years ago i was rejected from a phd program after i disclosed i got asd and now i move between very anxious and very confident about disclosing my diagnosis so i think you're very brave about talking about your diagnosis i i don't know what state you're in but that may have been in violation of some law if you told them about your neurology and they fired you might want to look into that um i'm very sorry that that happened uh thankfully here at the facility i uh i run everything so what are the kevin's gonna get up and try to like overthrow me or something like that that's that's ridiculous how that would happen yeah just thought of something make sure the cabins on level 16 can't get out of their containment cages yes put another explosive collar or something that isn't gorillas bye i'm sorry that happened to you but if you were working at a place that would be willing to fire you because of who you are and what brain you have then it probably wasn't a great place to be working out in the first place pharrell beast with the 25 says just because you're so dang awesome and an inspiration to us all i love you personally keep up the great work i'm just a dude it's fine don't worry about it thank you for your 25. uh ray kemper with the 10 says have you heard of the cyclic universe theory no but i imagine it's weird and like not supported by sciencey stuff if i had to guess uh chris lauren says let the kevin's unionize no i as you know i follow all of amazon's examples and that's how i run this place all right i just want to make enough money so that i can be bald and wear a north face vest too okay dang ghost fire killer with the australian five dollars it says i reckon shutter speed would be another good way to put it the higher the shutter speed the more details preserved also a gift from everyone hey didn't say that a part i added that zeno's trigger with the 10 says rise up kevin writes again right against your oppressor hashtag sent for science oppressor is a very strong word for what i do i'm more just press kevin's into airlocks uh cheesy with the 10 says with all that's going on in the world right now i just want to thank you for boosting my love of science and being awesome kyle i love watching your shows every morning with breakfast well you know what they say about my you know what they say about me pairs well with milk jonathan ashcraft with the 50 donation says we won't ask you to disclose any more personal information be you hey don't worry i won't answer it if i don't want to i have a feeling i'm somewhere on the spectrum always been neurodivergent doc's thought it was bipolar when i was younger but the meds made me so sick should go back now and see i hope you get the information and the help that you want and or need um but uh medication like anything takes some sort of trial and error not it's not gonna be one like the toxicity not to say that medicines are toxic now um but like the toxicity thing we were talking about before different people different system uh different people with different bodies different um tolerances um and stuff like that they will need different doses different medicines it affects people differently i've also had experiences where medication made me feel really bad and i had to go off it and switch but that's by normalizing talking about these kinds of things by talking about medication and and mental health by normalizing and destigmatizing these things we i hope that we'll be more willing to talk openly with our professionals about making our lives better through science i think so just just think about literally how many people how many days we lose because we're too embarrassed or ashamed to talk about something with a professional i would wager it's a lot um so you know you should remember that mental health is health and sometimes you need a band-aid for your brain bain bane but but kristen wegner with a canadian 1669. nice says hospital lots of cow here could our brains ever experience objective reality perhaps through transhuman augmentation and would we want to it depends on what you mean by objective reality right how do you perceive objective reality one interpretation would be well what if you could experience the entire electromagnetic spectrum and not just visible light then you could interact with more of reality so to speak um that'd be one way to get at more of what the universe has to offer you but does reality really mean being able to see and interact with and experience every single thing in the universe probably it depends on how you define it right the boundaries of human experience make human experience what it is and it would fundamentally change if we perceive things differently right would you even want to perceive all of reality you know would you want to be able to hear all the insects having sex on the east coast right now there's billions of them yeah what do you think the cicadas are doing they're not just yelling they're sex yelling pg-13 stream baby a deucer with the 20 says kyle thank you for talking openly about your experience dan bull's dan bulls quote portrait of an autist show me i'm not alone in my unique way of seeing the world we need more open and obvious conversations like that keep being awesome well the thing about being awesome is that i can't turn it off don't let anyone tell you i was ever cringe never just want to say hello bartholomew gander says just want to say hello that i love your channel keep up the good work oh it's my whole livelihood i have to keep it up or else i'll die like a shark and swimming not all sharks have to keep swimming there are certain sharks that are not uh not obligate ram ventilators now you probably know one of those words ventilation moving fluid air or water through something obligate means they have to do it or it's required and ram means they have to force this fluid through the ventilation system themselves so obligate ram ventilators many sharks are most sharks are i believe they must swim through water to get the ventilation over their gills at which point gas exchange happens between the oxygen in the sea water and the gases in the shark's blood which is very close to the surface of their gill tissue gas exchange happens through differential concentration gradients and they keep on breathing but not every shark is a uh ram ventilator some like nurse sharks can just sit at the bottom of a ocean obviously and they can move their gills in such a way so uh that they move water over them without having to swim and so you knew you you learned a new word today ram ventilators it's not a thing on a dodge ram it's a shark thing i don't know why they don't let me host shark week i've asked them i've asked people at discovery they said actually they said nothing they never got back to me uh innss55 with the 10 says i was in the middle of writing a question that you must have and that you just answered as i wrote it i'm petrified by the idea of knowing more about oh sorry wait this one's serious i'm petrified by the idea of knowing more about my depression but normalizing it as help is helping me so have this thanks hey look not everyone wants to see the inside of their own head i get it i think a lot of using our phones is driven by not wanting to be introspective just like oh i don't want to think about that thought but the only real way for personal growth is to really engage with the person who you are that's all you can do right of animal with the 10 says simping for my science friends that can't simp love the love you you don't love me you just love the facade you don't even know me and i like to keep it that way i don't like i don't i don't like um personalities especially in social media that make knowing them part of the appeal like knowing their personal life and who they're dating and their life history and how they're feeling at every point in the day i think that becomes very toxic and very codependent and kind of kind of uh manipulative very quickly and even though everything on the youtube trending tab is that i'm going to go ahead and uh say that i really dislike it that shin moffett with the two dollars says thanks for showing my girlfriend's asperger's is a superpower now when i say something like asd is a superpower obviously i'm coming from a place of and i say this extreme privilege you know i'm uh i don't have nearly the same troubles that you might have or a person could have although i have my own but when i say it's a superpower i mean when you normalize your experience share it with others and get others to ex understand you in the way that you want to be understood and that is best for your mental health then you can take advantage of of the way that your brain works and make life better for you like i i gave that example of you know when i told my colleagues working in an open office i said i really i get distracted super easily and i'd love to be in a small office that is very well soundproofed so i didn't have to hear or see anything and once i did that my work output doubled and it's because i had the after learning things about myself i wanted to make life better for myself knowing who i was serge giard says dang it he didn't read my donation how dare you how dare you how dare you i can't find it too bad you're lost forever uh and as we're closing out the stream music central piano as always coming in hot the 5108 i love that you're always changing those last two digits it keeps me on my whatever i'm standing on might be toes

bold as to request a name change state rational and safe kevins can't have names kevin is more of a designation none of them have names if i start giving them names if i give a mouse a cookie they're gonna want a glass of milk we all read that book um and finally elizabeth calvert with the 10 says for others with depression anxiety yes addressing it is scary and you feel alone in a way that others may not understand but you're not alone hugs and i second that feeling thank you so much for joining me for this office hours we're now in a new location the facility has moved don't ask me how it moves is it giant rotors is it is it levitation quantum locked no way to tell might just be big wheels but the facility has changed locations we're in a new space new setup new connection new computer we'll be getting new audio visual equipment in the very near future stay tuned this week i have to really hustle but i believe we're doing a video in partnership with capcom yes that capcom about a very about a a about a a a thing that a lot of deviant artists drew so look forward to that if i can get it done within the time frame uh and then upcoming as i said and the break we'll be talking with none other than mikhail miguel sorry raul miguel about warp drive where it's going warp drive explained and i'm working on the next half-life histories as we speak thank you so much for joining me if you want to continue on this conversation or if you want to join the facility you can go to patreon.com kyle hill right now as my security team is putting in the chat we'd be happy to have you we sweet science and get nerdy all day i will see you in a video very soon and i'll see you next week bradley smith with the 99 donation says respect and we also have gabrielle silva with the 50 saying a bunch of other stuff but i can't get you thank you thank you so much for watching until next week when i talk to you live be nice to each other i forgot what i always say be nice to each
