Summary

TLDRこのスクリプトは、量子重力の理解への道を開く新しい重力理論の議論を展開しています。Einsteinの理論とは異なる解釈で、重力は空間の情報を内容によって生じる現象や、粒子の波動性と真空の屈折指数の変化から生じる可能性があると示唆しています。重力波の検出は、重力の理解を狭め、Milgramian Dynamics(修正された重力の法則)がこれに応える方法を提供していると主張しています。ダークマターの存在が検証されていないことから、宇宙モデル全体が疑わしくなる可能性があることを指摘しています。

Takeaways

  • ✨ 重力の量子論的理解に向けた道を開く可能性があるため、コミュニティはこの点を無視している。
  • 🌌 重力は、空間の異なる領域の情報内容が異なるために生じる発現力である可能性がある。
  • 💡 重力波の検出により、重力の理解に関する可能性が狭まった。

Q & A

  • 量子重力の理解を開く道は何ですか?

    -量子重力の理解を開く道は、空間の情報を異なる地域で異なると見なす重力の概念です。これは、重力が空間の情報をエンコードするため、空間の情報が異なる地域では異なる力として現れる可能性があります。

  • 重力の変更された理論とは何であり、どのように異なるですか?

    -変更された重力の理論は、空間時間の変形だけでなく、重力が現れる他の可能性を考慮します。例えば、情報内容の違いや粒子の波動性、または真空の屈折指数の変化による重力の誘導などが挙げられます。

  • 重力波はどのようにして重力の理解を狭めていますか?

    -重力波は、重力の理解を狭めるために、特定の速度(光速)で伝搬する必要があることを示しています。これは、重力波が異なる速度で伝搬する理論を排除する理由です。

  • Milgramの理論とは何であり、どのように重力を説明していますか?

    -Milgramの理論は、重力が空間の量子真空のエネルギー密度の変動によって変化するという考え方です。この理論では、空間の曲率が非常に小さくなると、物体の加速度は異なると見なされます。

  • Milgramの理論が成功したとされる観測とは何ですか?

    -Milgramの理論が成功したとされる観測は、1983年に彼が発表した3つの研究目的に基づいて行われ、その理論が正しいとされる銀河の動きに関する予測が、驚くべき精度で検証されたことです。

  • ダークマターモデルとMilgramの理論の主な相違点は何ですか?

    -ダークマターモデルは、見えない物質を postu late して宇宙の動きを説明する一方で、Milgramの理論は重力の法則自体を変えることで、ダークマターの存在を必要としません。

  • ダークマターが存在しないという仮定はどのようにして宇宙モデルに影響を与えますか?

    -ダークマターが存在しないという仮定は、Einsteinの重力理論の有効性を銀河やそれ以上の規模で否定し、宇宙モデル全体が間違っている可能性があることを示します。

  • 宇宙学者がダークマターモデルを維持する理由は何ですか?

    -宇宙学者はダークマターモデルを維持する理由は、他の観測を説明する成功と、銀河の動きに関する計算が非常に複雑であるため、ダークマターモデルの不整合を完全に理解することは困難だからです。

  • Milgramの理論が示す宇宙の空洞とは何ですか?

    -Milgramの理論が示す宇宙の空洞は、宇宙の特定の領域でダークマターの密度が低いため、銀河や銀河クラスターの数が少ないことを指しています。これは、Lambda CDMモデルと矛盾しています。

  • 宇宙学者が理論を検証する方法は何ですか?

    -宇宙学者は、異なるデータセット間で一貫性のあるパターンを検出することで理論を検証します。これは、他の科学分野では一般的ではない独自の証明基準です。

  • ダークマターの存在を示す観測的な証拠は何ですか?

    -ダークマターの存在を示す観測的な証拠の1つは、重力透鏡効果です。これは、ダークマターが光を曲折させる能力があることを示しており、実際に観測されています。

🧬 修正された重力理論について

修正された重力理論は、従来のアインシュタインの時空の湾曲という概念を超え、重力が情報の内容や粒子の波動性に基づく可能性を示唆しています。重力波の検出により、理論が制約されることがあり、新しい理論が必要とされています。ダークマターの存在が否定されることで、アインシュタインの重力理論が否定され、新しい宇宙モデルの必要性が高まっています。

05:01

💡 モンド理論の概要とその影響

モンド理論(修正ニュートン力学)は、銀河の速度場の観測に基づき、重力が量子真空のエネルギー密度の変動に影響を受けるという仮説を提案しています。この理論は、重力が異なる宇宙空間で変化するという新しい視点を提供し、ダークマターの存在を否定する証拠として機能します。モンド理論の検証は、多くの観測結果と一致しています。

10:01

🌌 宇宙論とダークマターの議論

ダークマター理論は多くの観測を説明できるとされていますが、一部の科学者はそれに異議を唱えています。例えば、私たちが住むKBCボイドと呼ばれる巨大な低密度領域は、ダークマター理論と矛盾しています。一方、モンド理論はこの観測結果と一致しており、科学的証拠の評価基準が変わりつつある中で、どちらの理論が正しいかを見極めるための実験と観測が重要です。

15:03

🔭 宇宙観測と理論の検証

宇宙論では、唯一の宇宙を観測することしかできないため、他の科学とは異なる証拠の基準が必要です。例えば、ダークマターの存在を仮定した重力レンズ効果の観測などがありますが、計算には多くの前提条件が必要で、理論の予測と整合性の区別が難しいことがあります。このような背景の中で、モンド理論とダークマター理論のどちらが正しいかを判断するためには、さらなる研究と議論が求められます。

play00:00

because it opens the pathway towards a

play00:02

Quantum gravitational understanding of

play00:04

nature which the community has been

play00:06

entirely ignoring

play00:08

[Music]

play00:13

can you tell us more about the modified

play00:16

theory of gravity how is it modified and

play00:19

how does it make the theory different

play00:21

from how we've understood it it was

play00:24

already weird bending space time that's

play00:26

already pretty darn weird from from

play00:28

Einstein what else do you need to

play00:30

account for dark matter

play00:32

well I am the idea with spending

play00:35

space-time is brilliant and that

play00:38

formulation is disciple thesis so it's

play00:40

one way to hopefully understand what

play00:43

gravitation is but it doesn't mean that

play00:44

that theory is correct there are other

play00:46

ideas what gravitation could be and that

play00:48

is where Linda's concept that

play00:51

it's gravitation is an emergent Force

play00:54

because the information content

play00:56

different regions of space is different

play00:58

another possibility is that you get

play01:01

gravitation because particles have wave

play01:03

nature and gravitation just comes about

play01:05

because of changes in refractive index

play01:08

which their parties themselves because

play01:10

they are oscillating in a

play01:12

vacuum that Medium coated ether and that

play01:16

changes refractive index and that

play01:17

induces gravitational forces so they are

play01:20

very different in the interpretation of

play01:22

what gravitation could be we don't know

play01:24

what is that um gravity waves which

play01:26

recently have been detected well the

play01:30

gravitational waves

play01:31

um collapse the possibilities of how we

play01:33

understand gravitation so if any

play01:35

gravitational Theory does not

play01:36

accommodate gravitational waves or it

play01:39

doesn't accumulate accommodate them

play01:41

traveling with a speed of light that

play01:43

theory is ruled out yeah and this for

play01:45

example has narrowed

play01:47

the possibilities in mind so the

play01:49

original version of a relativistic

play01:51

formulation of Mont had gravitational

play01:53

waves

play01:54

propagating with a different speed and

play01:56

that has been now of course falsified

play01:59

but now there are other theories which

play02:02

accommodate it but that's still

play02:03

interpreting gravitation as a

play02:04

geometrical effect which again itself

play02:08

might not be correct I'm very

play02:09

pragmatical what I rather rather than

play02:12

spending much of my time thinking about

play02:14

what gravitation could be in terms of

play02:16

its deepest origin

play02:20

I want to put into the computer a law of

play02:22

gravitation with which we can study the

play02:24

law of gravitation by looking at what we

play02:26

observe out there and I know now and

play02:29

that is a uh in physics we call that a

play02:32

five Sigma detection threshold that's

play02:34

how the Higgs boson was finally accepted

play02:37

to be uh to be valid to be there is by

play02:40

reaching the five Sigma detection limit

play02:42

as the dark matter doesn't exist this

play02:44

falsifies the validity of einsteinian

play02:46

gravitation on the scales of gravity of

play02:49

galaxies and Beyond this means that the

play02:51

whole model of the universe is probably

play02:54

not correct and that's where we are at

play02:56

this very moment to investigate which

play02:58

new theories could one develop just to

play03:01

try to help explain how it is ismon

play03:04

something the first time I came across

play03:06

the description of it it was something

play03:07

that seemed to have with have to do with

play03:10

very distant phenomena in the universe

play03:11

but in fact I've come to understand that

play03:14

Monde is very much closer to home if

play03:16

it's correct yeah right so say something

play03:18

about it so where does Mont kick in you

play03:20

would say right so in the solar system

play03:24

can you encapsulate what Monday if I

play03:28

understand it's kind of gravity varies

play03:29

yes okay so tell us a little bit about

play03:31

mom so

play03:33

um um as

play03:34

um Francisco said before Einstein and

play03:37

gravity has been tested and verified

play03:39

extremely well in the strong field

play03:41

regime which means around within the

play03:44

solar system and stronger fields around

play03:46

black holes it seems to be working very

play03:47

well it's an excellent mathematical

play03:49

description and that uh so any other

play03:51

Theory would have to accommodate that

play03:54

but that is always one of the working

play03:56

principles now now Mont

play03:58

originally uh um as a description of um

play04:01

as an acronym for modified internal

play04:03

Dynamics I prefer to call it milgramian

play04:05

Dynamics in equivalence to Newtonian

play04:08

Dynamics so megromian Dynamics comes

play04:11

about because Milgram noticed where the

play04:13

measurements of the this galaxies came

play04:15

in in the early 1980s when for the first

play04:17

time the velocity field in galaxies were

play04:20

mapped out to distances of

play04:22

thousands of light years

play04:24

that gravity changes and how does it

play04:27

change well he he noticed that there

play04:29

seems to be an acceleration scale which

play04:31

means that in Einstein's view or

play04:34

description when the when the curvature

play04:37

of space

play04:39

becomes very very small that's the

play04:41

milgram's constant which describes this

play04:43

curvature a critical curvature beyond

play04:48

that once we go to nearly flat space

play04:50

time the um accelerations of objects

play04:53

appear to be larger

play04:56

in 1999 Milgram wrote a very interesting

play04:58

research paper which was more like a

play05:00

conjecture we suggested that this change

play05:03

comes about because of the quantum

play05:05

vacuum the way we under the sustainable

play05:07

of particle physics is today based on

play05:10

Quantum field Theory and in there the

play05:15

ideas the ideas that particles are as

play05:17

we've heard before excitations in the

play05:19

fields and there are many fields which

play05:21

are constantly fluctuating of quantum

play05:23

mechanical

play05:24

property of the vacuum and so the vacuum

play05:27

is constantly has an energy density

play05:29

which is fluctuating another problem

play05:31

with that is that the what the energy

play05:32

density what the astronomers need is 120

play05:36

orders of magnitude below what the

play05:37

quantum field theoretists would like the

play05:39

if I'm if I'm correct then even empty

play05:42

space is full of energy it's full of

play05:44

energy and particles pop out of it so

play05:46

exactly and then disappear exactly

play05:49

perfectly empty space it's still got

play05:52

stuff and this is what's modifying and

play05:54

gravity in this well exactly so the idea

play05:57

of Milgram was that when you move

play05:59

through this vacuum you have a larger

play06:02

pressure

play06:03

because of the bubbling in front of you

play06:05

being a little more energetic because of

play06:06

the blue shift and be rather than behind

play06:08

and this exerts a force against you and

play06:11

that's basically why acceleration is not

play06:12

quite as big this Pro this effect is

play06:15

more pronounced in a gradient so when

play06:18

the space time is curved so you over

play06:19

here you've got squash space time over

play06:21

the last squash space and then this

play06:24

effect is simply what we describe as

play06:26

Newtonian gravitation if you're in the

play06:28

regime where you're basically a symmetry

play06:30

so you have the particle which is

play06:31

accelerating and the vacuum here is as

play06:34

unsquatched as over there then you

play06:37

effectively have a large acceleration

play06:39

because the effect largely disappears

play06:41

yeah that's a point and so this paper is

play06:44

a very remarkable research paper because

play06:46

it opens the pathway towards a Quantum

play06:48

gravitational understanding of nature

play06:51

which the community has been entirely

play06:53

ignoring because everybody knows there

play06:55

is dark matter for effect essentially

play06:57

the colleagues are completely convinced

play06:59

while believing in dark matter and uh

play07:03

and uh where they ignore the

play07:05

falsifications of Dark Matter entirely

play07:07

because it's become a question of belief

play07:08

in the scientific system so we've got

play07:11

two theories now which will account for

play07:12

the same observations one postulates

play07:15

stuff we can't see

play07:16

and the other one postulates a shift in

play07:20

the way we understand gravity that goes

play07:23

back to Weinstein and says that gravity

play07:25

will change in different parts of space

play07:27

so what do you think how do you think

play07:30

you could distinguish between these two

play07:31

things it's completely simple uh so you

play07:33

have to be pragmatic you have to do your

play07:35

job as a scientist properly

play07:36

falsification is the key words

play07:39

you test the one Theory Dark Matter

play07:41

exists tested is falsified with more

play07:43

than five Sigma it doesn't exist you

play07:45

drop it you don't even touch it anymore

play07:46

ever in Armada search group group you do

play07:49

not touch dark matter anymore the and

play07:51

then you look at the other hypothesis it

play07:53

has to be then a modification of gravity

play07:54

or not a modification it's just a

play07:57

different form of gravity I do not like

play07:58

the to modification because nature does

play08:01

not modify it right it's just a

play08:03

different law and then we work with that

play08:05

loan we try to falsify that equally so

play08:07

far every single prediction made in 1983

play08:11

you look at the three research purposes

play08:13

Milgram has published he puts on a

play08:16

number of predictions what galaxy should

play08:17

behave like if that formulation of

play08:19

gravitation is through every one of them

play08:22

has been verified to an incredible

play08:24

amount even galaxies which were not

play08:26

known to exist at that time

play08:29

come in and try to explain why we

play08:32

haven't all stopped working on dark

play08:34

matter

play08:35

so the the main kind of disagreement

play08:39

with the the Dark Matter model that

play08:42

Pablo's describing is

play08:45

that there are galaxies that are are

play08:49

moving faster than we think that they

play08:51

should be

play08:52

when you have two galaxies that merge in

play08:54

particular if they're all full of dark

play08:57

matter the kind of gravity of this dark

play08:59

matter should slow them down

play09:01

and we see galaxies moving

play09:04

faster than some of our modeling

play09:06

suggests that they should be

play09:08

now within the Dark Matter model

play09:11

and indeed also within modify gravity

play09:14

I would say we don't actually have a

play09:18

theory that predicts exactly how fast

play09:21

all these galaxies should be moving

play09:23

there's a lot of inputs into that so one

play09:27

of them is indeed slowing down through

play09:29

dark matter but you would also need to

play09:32

really know the the cosmological history

play09:34

of all of these galaxies the effect of

play09:38

all of the very complicated physics of

play09:40

the stars and other kind of regular

play09:44

matter Within These galaxies should come

play09:46

into play

play09:48

so I think within the Dark Matter model

play09:50

the reason we haven't just all said well

play09:52

okay this is just inconsistent we're

play09:55

going to stop working on it

play09:56

is that it's really quite a complicated

play09:59

question how fast Galaxy should be

play10:01

moving and the Dark Matter model has

play10:04

been so successful at explaining other

play10:06

observations that I really think we

play10:09

should just be working on both

play10:11

well I might interject here because I

play10:14

hear the statement many times that the

play10:16

Dark Matter models of course the

play10:18

cosmological Dark Matter models have

play10:19

been successful in accounting of a large

play10:23

variety of observations it is wrong

play10:26

I don't know any single observation

play10:28

which has actually been successfully

play10:29

reproduced by by the Dark Matter models

play10:32

one case

play10:34

if you look at the count the number of

play10:36

galaxies within our surroundings you go

play10:39

out to hundreds of millions of light

play10:42

years you can count the number of

play10:44

galaxies per unit space you have right

play10:46

and we see that the density of meta

play10:49

increases out to

play10:51

um about

play10:52

um

play10:53

1500 million light years so that's

play10:56

already a large distance

play10:59

um and um which means we live in a

play11:02

gigantic under density this is called

play11:04

the KBC void which was discovered by

play11:07

Keenan bag and koi in 2012 and has been

play11:10

verified by subsequent studies also

play11:12

looking at the number of Galaxy clusters

play11:14

we live in a region of cosmological

play11:16

space which has a lower mass density a

play11:20

smaller number of Galaxy clusters

play11:21

smaller number of galaxies than further

play11:24

out now that huge and void is completely

play11:29

inconsistent with the Lambda CDM model

play11:31

that lumbarcity model by the Assumption

play11:33

of how does that mean the Dark Matter

play11:35

yeah I don't think that's synonymous so

play11:39

the uh because it assumes homogeneity

play11:41

and isotropy which is reasonable but it

play11:44

cannot allow such large discrepancies in

play11:47

okay so Pavel you're saying that the

play11:49

current data is inconsistent with

play11:51

Dartmouth I I thought that modern Dark

play11:53

Matter were kind of equivalent in that

play11:55

they're arguing for the same but you're

play11:57

saying no the data out there is

play12:00

currently inconsistent with with dark

play12:03

matter and is consistently modern

play12:05

absolutely because well the remarkable

play12:08

thing about this is you can you can test

play12:10

whether this under density can account

play12:12

occur in the stock meta model it cannot

play12:14

Beyond it can okay can you uh Enlighten

play12:18

us when we've got two a conflicting

play12:20

accounts of where the dark matter is

play12:22

still a viable Theory or not it's a note

play12:24

in the context here about whether a

play12:26

theory is successful or not or whether

play12:27

there's evidence of it cosmology uh is

play12:31

in a very unique uh position as a

play12:33

science has also develop its own

play12:35

Criterion for evidence so the goal posts

play12:37

for what counts the scientific evidence

play12:39

has also shifted in the 20th century at

play12:41

the same time there are arguments of

play12:42

course that if you are looking at very

play12:44

large scales or in micro like in physics

play12:47

at the you know theoretical physics

play12:48

Eugene do need sort of other criteria to

play12:51

access things but this is a very this is

play12:54

a very questionable thing I mean uh

play12:56

Lambda CDM model or the standard model

play12:58

is sometimes called a concordance model

play13:00

because this is the principle that was

play13:02

invented it's something called

play13:04

concordance is considered evidence in

play13:05

cosmology no other Sciences has this and

play13:09

so what it means to for something to be

play13:11

proven in cosmology is if you can infer

play13:14

consistent patterns across multiple data

play13:17

sets that is inferred as evidence that

play13:20

the theory you used to create it is

play13:21

correct okay and that means you can you

play13:25

can claim uh that you have really solid

play13:28

evidence for dark matter but yet you

play13:30

have no observational evidence for any

play13:33

single parameter so Francesca have you

play13:35

been Shifting the goal posts

play13:37

I think what Beyond saying is basically

play13:41

correct in terms of

play13:44

what is considered evidence within

play13:46

cosmology is to do with often

play13:49

consistency within the current model but

play13:52

there's a very good reason for that

play13:53

which is that in cosmology are the thing

play13:56

we're studying is the whole universe so

play13:58

all we can do is look at the sky with

play14:00

telescopes we cannot do experiments

play14:04

because we only have one universe and we

play14:06

didn't get to choose the starting

play14:07

conditions if I'm doing an experiment in

play14:10

biology

play14:11

I can you know try design the exact

play14:15

setup that I want in an Laboratory

play14:18

cosmology and astrophysics are more like

play14:20

archeology all we can do is look at

play14:22

what's happened

play14:24

so in that way we have had to

play14:29

develop different ways of doing things

play14:34

now I would say that

play14:38

there have been you know some things

play14:40

that are predictions in the more normal

play14:42

sense

play14:43

um so for example if Dark Matter exists

play14:46

and Einstein's theory of general

play14:48

relativity is broadly speaking correct

play14:51

even at large scales then we would

play14:54

expect to observe

play14:56

um the bending of light around dark

play14:58

matter this is called gravitational

play15:00

lensing and then you know indeed we have

play15:02

observed that

play15:04

so there are some things where you can

play15:06

kind of make predictions and see them

play15:09

but with a lot of science these days and

play15:12

particularly a lot of fundamental

play15:14

physics there's so much input that needs

play15:17

to go into every calculation you have to

play15:19

make so many assumptions and everyone

play15:21

has to do that we have to do it you have

play15:23

to do it if you're calculating and

play15:24

modify gravity you have to do that to

play15:27

calculate anything that it can be quite

play15:29

hard to disentangle exactly what's the

play15:32

prediction and what's just consistency

play15:34

within the theory I think there's no

play15:37

clear-cut line between those two well in

play15:39

fact that leads us to continue watching
