idea was gravity actually works now this idea was tested<00:03:38.190> in<00:03:38.280> 1919<00:03:39.150> through<00:03:39.480> astronomical tested in 1919 through astronomical tested in 1919 through astronomical observations<00:03:40.980> it<00:03:41.100> really<00:03:41.370> works<00:03:41.670> it observations it really works it observations it really works it describes<00:03:42.299> the<00:03:42.480> data<00:03:42.660> and<00:03:43.019> this<00:03:43.440> gained describes the data and this gained describes the data and this gained Einstein<00:03:44.819> prominence<00:03:45.450>

got<00:03:48.950> Colusa<00:03:49.950> thinking<00:03:50.519> he<00:03:50.970> like that is what got Colusa thinking he like that is what got Colusa thinking he like Einstein<00:03:52.380>

describe gravity didn't seem to be describe gravity didn't seem to be anything<00:04:49.349> else<00:04:49.560> to<00:04:49.830> warp<00:04:50.039> a<00:04:50.190> curve<00:04:50.960> so<00:04:51.960> Colusa anything else to warp a curve so Colusa anything else to warp a curve so Colusa said<00:04:52.620> well<00:04:53.120> maybe<00:04:54.120> there<00:04:54.509> are<00:04:54.629> more said well maybe there are more said well maybe there are more dimensions<00:04:55.259> of<00:04:55.620> space dimensions of space dimensions of space he<00:04:56.280> said<00:04:56.520> if<00:04:56.729> I<00:04:56.970> want<00:04:57.180> to<00:04:57.240> describe<00:04:57.509> one<00:04:57.870> more he said if I want to describe one more he said if I want to describe one more force<00:04:58.500> maybe<00:04:58.889> I<00:04:58.979> need<00:04:59.190> one<00:04:59.490> more<00:04:59.789> dimension<00:05:00.270> so force maybe I need one more dimension so force maybe I need one more dimension so he<00:05:00.930> imagined<00:05:01.409> that<00:05:01.440> the<00:05:01.590> world<00:05:01.770> had<00:05:01.889> four he imagined that the world had four he imagined that the world had four dimensions<00:05:02.699> of<00:05:02.819> space<00:05:03.030> not<00:05:03.389> three<00:05:03.810> and dimensions of space not three and dimensions of space not three and imagine<00:05:05.340> that<00:05:05.460> electromagnetism<00:05:06.419> was<00:05:06.629> warps imagine that electromagnetism was warps imagine that electromagnetism was warps and<00:05:07.050> curves<00:05:07.139> in<00:05:07.500> that<00:05:07.740> fourth<00:05:08.099> dimension<00:05:08.849> now and curves in that fourth dimension now and curves in that fourth dimension now here's<00:05:09.659> the<00:05:09.780> thing<00:05:09.960> when<00:05:10.139> he<00:05:10.229> wrote<00:05:10.440> down<00:05:10.620> the here's the thing when he wrote down the here's the thing when he wrote down the equations<00:05:11.370> describing<00:05:11.789> warps<00:05:12.270> and<00:05:12.419> curves<00:05:12.509> in equations describing warps and curves in equations describing warps and curves in the<00:05:12.900> universe<00:05:13.199> with<00:05:13.319> four<00:05:13.710> space<00:05:14.130> dimensions the universe with four space dimensions the universe with four space dimensions not<00:05:14.819> three<00:05:15.210> he<00:05:15.750> found<00:05:16.020> the<00:05:16.139> old<00:05:16.220> equations not three he found the old equations not three he found the old equations that<00:05:17.370> einstein<00:05:17.819> had<00:05:18.030> already<00:05:18.210> derived<00:05:18.659> in that einstein had already derived in that einstein had already derived in three<00:05:19.289> dimensions<00:05:19.800> those<00:05:20.099> were<00:05:20.250> for<00:05:20.400> gravity three dimensions those were for gravity three dimensions those were for gravity but<00:05:21.300> he<00:05:21.419> found<00:05:21.720> one<00:05:22.199> more<00:05:22.470> equation<00:05:22.770> because but he found one more equation because but he found one more equation because of<00:05:23.460> the<00:05:23.699> one<00:05:23.880> more<00:05:24.120> dimension<00:05:24.300> and<00:05:24.840> when<00:05:25.409> he of the one more dimension and when he of the one more dimension and when he looked<00:05:25.680> at<00:05:25.830> that<00:05:25.860> equation<00:05:26.370> it<00:05:26.699> was<00:05:26.819> none looked at that equation it was none looked at that equation it was none other<00:05:27.180> than<00:05:27.539> the<00:05:27.720> equation<00:05:28.229> that<00:05:28.319> scientists other than the equation that scientists other than the equation that scientists had<00:05:28.979> long<00:05:29.009> known<00:05:29.550> to<00:05:29.880> describe<00:05:30.300> the had long known to describe the had long known to describe the electromagnetic<00:05:31.469> force<00:05:32.030> amazing<00:05:33.030> it<00:05:33.240> just electromagnetic force amazing it just electromagnetic force amazing it just popped<00:05:33.750> out<00:05:33.960> he<00:05:34.650> was<00:05:34.800> so<00:05:34.979> excited<00:05:35.130> by<00:05:35.879> this popped out he was so excited by this popped out he was so excited by this realization<00:05:37.139> that<00:05:37.740> he<00:05:37.949> ran<00:05:38.219> around<00:05:38.400> his<00:05:38.729> house realization that he ran around his house realization that he ran around his house screaming<00:05:39.330>

in 1926 by a fellow<00:06:28.139> named<00:06:28.349> Oskar<00:06:28.680> Klein fellow named Oskar Klein fellow named Oskar Klein he<00:06:29.610> suggested<00:06:30.300> that<00:06:30.509> dimensions<00:06:31.380> might<00:06:31.590> come he suggested that dimensions might come he suggested that dimensions might come in<00:06:32.039> two<00:06:32.250> varieties<00:06:32.509> there<00:06:33.509> might<00:06:33.719> be<00:06:33.750> big<00:06:34.680> easy in two varieties there might be big easy in two varieties there might be big easy to<00:06:35.279> see<00:06:35.430> dimensions<00:06:36.029> but<00:06:36.330> there<00:06:36.479> might<00:06:36.569> also to see dimensions but there might also to see dimensions but there might also be<00:06:36.930> tiny<00:06:37.380> curled<00:06:37.889> up<00:06:38.069> dimensions<00:06:38.219> curled<00:06:38.759> up be tiny curled up dimensions curled up be tiny curled up dimensions curled up so<00:06:39.210> small<00:06:39.719> even<00:06:40.050> though<00:06:40.440> they're<00:06:40.620> all<00:06:40.740> around so small even though they're all around so small even though they're all around us<00:06:41.250> that<00:06:41.969> we<00:06:42.029> don't<00:06:42.419> see<00:06:42.900> them<00:06:43.110> let<00:06:43.349> me<00:06:43.380> show us that we don't see them let me show us that we don't see them let me show you<00:06:43.680> that<00:06:43.979> one<00:06:44.250> visually<00:06:45.560> so<00:06:46.560> imagine<00:06:47.250> you're you that one visually so imagine you're you that one visually so imagine you're looking<00:06:47.460> at<00:06:47.699> something<00:06:47.940> like<00:06:48.120> a<00:06:48.360> cable looking at something like a cable looking at something like a cable supporting<00:06:49.649> a<00:06:49.740> traffic<00:06:50.190> lights<00:06:50.460> in<00:06:50.849> Manhattan supporting a traffic lights in Manhattan supporting a traffic lights in Manhattan in<00:06:51.389> Central<00:06:51.750> Park<00:06:51.990> that's<00:06:52.169> it's<00:06:52.379> kind<00:06:52.560> of in Central Park that's it's kind of in Central Park that's it's kind of irrelevant<00:06:53.099> but<00:06:53.430> the<00:06:53.669> cable<00:06:54.419> looks irrelevant but the cable looks irrelevant but the cable looks one-dimensional<00:06:55.440> from<00:06:55.919> a<00:06:56.009> distant<00:06:56.400> viewpoint one-dimensional from a distant viewpoint one-dimensional from a distant viewpoint but<00:06:57.509> you<00:06:57.599> and<00:06:57.750> I<00:06:57.810> all<00:06:57.990> know<00:06:58.139> that<00:06:58.289> it<00:06:58.409> does<00:06:58.560> have but you and I all know that it does have but you and I all know that it does have some<00:06:58.949> thickness<00:06:59.310> it's<00:06:59.460> very<00:06:59.759> hard<00:07:00.030> to<00:07:00.060> see<00:07:00.360> it some thickness it's very hard to see it some thickness it's very hard to see it though<00:07:00.690> from<00:07:00.900> far<00:07:01.139> away<00:07:01.289> but<00:07:01.979> if<00:07:02.039> we<00:07:02.129> zoom<00:07:02.159> in though from far away but if we zoom in though from far away but if we zoom in and<00:07:03.000> take<00:07:03.389> their<00:07:03.569> perspective<00:07:04.080> to<00:07:04.169> say<00:07:04.349> a and take their perspective to say a and take their perspective to say a little<00:07:04.650> ant<00:07:05.069> walking<00:07:05.340> around<00:07:05.849> little<00:07:06.539> ants little ant walking around little ants little ant walking around little ants are<00:07:06.930> so<00:07:07.080> small<00:07:07.379> that<00:07:07.590> they<00:07:07.770> can<00:07:07.919> access<00:07:08.159> all are so small that they can access all are so small that they can access all the<00:07:08.610> dimensions<00:07:09.419> the<00:07:09.780> long<00:07:10.020> dimension<00:07:10.229> but the dimensions the long dimension but the dimensions the long dimension but also<00:07:10.770> this<00:07:10.919> clockwise<00:07:11.419> counterclockwise also this clockwise counterclockwise also this clockwise counterclockwise direction<00:07:13.110> and<00:07:13.620> I<00:07:13.919> hope<00:07:14.490> you<00:07:14.639> appreciate<00:07:14.729> this direction and I hope you appreciate this direction and I hope you appreciate this it<00:07:15.330> took<00:07:15.449> so<00:07:15.780> long<00:07:15.810> to<00:07:16.229> get<00:07:16.319> these<00:07:16.500> ants<00:07:16.830> to<00:07:17.159> do it took so long to get these ants to do it took so long to get these ants to do this<00:07:17.810> but<00:07:18.810> this<00:07:18.960> illustrates<00:07:19.169> the<00:07:19.710> fact<00:07:19.889> that this but this illustrates the fact that this but this illustrates the fact that dimensions<00:07:20.610> can<00:07:20.879> be<00:07:20.909> of<00:07:21.180> two<00:07:21.360> sorts<00:07:21.780> big<00:07:22.199> and dimensions can be of two sorts big and dimensions can be of two sorts big and small<00:07:22.860> and<00:07:23.220> the<00:07:23.430> idea<00:07:23.699> is<00:07:23.759> that<00:07:23.879> maybe<00:07:23.940> the<00:07:24.330> big small and the idea is that maybe the big small and the idea is that maybe the big dimensions<00:07:25.020> around<00:07:25.530> us<00:07:25.770> are<00:07:25.979> the<00:07:26.069> ones<00:07:26.280> that dimensions around us are the ones that dimensions around us are the ones that we<00:07:26.639> can<00:07:26.879> easily<00:07:27.150> see<00:07:27.690> but<00:07:28.409> there<00:07:28.530> might<00:07:28.680> be we can easily see but there might be we can easily see but there might be additional<00:07:29.090> dimensions<00:07:30.090> curled<00:07:30.449> up<00:07:30.719> sort<00:07:31.080> of additional dimensions curled up sort of additional dimensions curled up sort of like<00:07:31.199> the<00:07:31.440> circular<00:07:31.919> part<00:07:32.129> of<00:07:32.310> that<00:07:32.430> cable<00:07:32.729> so like the circular part of that cable so like the circular part of that cable so small<00:07:33.840> that<00:07:34.740> they<00:07:35.009> have<00:07:35.280> so<00:07:35.550> far<00:07:35.789> remained small that they have so far remained small that they have so far remained invisible<00:07:36.840> let<00:07:37.409> me<00:07:37.530> show<00:07:37.710> you<00:07:37.770> what<00:07:37.949> that invisible let me show you what that invisible let me show you what that would<00:07:38.310> look<00:07:38.340> like<00:07:38.520> so<00:07:39.330> if<00:07:39.539> we<00:07:39.690> take<00:07:39.960> a<00:07:40.020> look<00:07:40.289> say would look like so if we take a look say would look like so if we take a look say at<00:07:40.650> space<00:07:41.610> itself<00:07:42.090> I<00:07:42.740> can<00:07:43.740> only<00:07:43.979> show<00:07:44.250> of at space itself I can only show of at space itself I can only show of course<00:07:44.580> two<00:07:44.789> dimensions<00:07:45.270> on<00:07:45.419> a<00:07:45.449> screen<00:07:45.870> some course two dimensions on a screen some course two dimensions on a screen some of<00:07:46.319> you<00:07:46.379> guys<00:07:46.469> will<00:07:46.650> fix<00:07:46.889> that<00:07:47.069> one<00:07:47.219> day<00:07:47.400> but of you guys will fix that one day but of you guys will fix that one day but anything<00:07:48.150> that's<00:07:48.270> not<00:07:48.569> flat<00:07:48.900> in<00:07:49.020> the<00:07:49.080> screen anything that's not flat in the

smaller smaller is a new dimension goes smaller smaller smaller<00:07:51.810> and<00:07:52.590> way<00:07:53.039> down<00:07:53.340> in<00:07:53.490> the<00:07:53.580> microscopic smaller and way down

depths of space itself this is the idea depths of space itself this is the idea you<00:07:57.389> could<00:07:57.539> have<00:07:57.659> additional<00:07:58.229> curled<00:07:58.650> up you could have additional curled up you could have additional curled up dimensions<00:07:58.979> here<00:07:59.580> is<00:07:59.669> a<00:07:59.699> little<00:07:59.940> shape<00:08:00.210> of<00:08:00.360> a

if you were a little but if you were a little ultra-microscopic<00:08:04.500> ant<00:08:05.159> walking<00:08:05.370> around<00:08:05.729> you ultra-microscopic ant walking around you ultra-microscopic ant walking around you can<00:08:05.969> walk<00:08:06.150> in<00:08:06.270> the<00:08:06.360> big<00:08:06.569> dimensions<00:08:07.110> that<00:08:07.199> we can walk in the big dimensions that we can walk in the big dimensions that we all<00:08:07.469> know<00:08:07.650> about<00:08:07.919> that's<00:08:08.099> like<00:08:08.370> the<00:08:08.520> grid<00:08:08.819> part all know about that's like the grid part all know about that's like the grid part but<00:08:09.659> you<00:08:09.750> could<00:08:09.900> also<00:08:10.139> access<00:08:10.740> the<00:08:10.889> tiny but you could also access the tiny but you could also access the tiny curled<00:08:11.729> up<00:08:11.909> dimension<00:08:12.479> that's<00:08:13.050> so<00:08:13.289> small<00:08:13.620> that curled up dimension that's so small that curled up dimension that's so small that we<00:08:14.069> can't<00:08:14.340> see<00:08:14.490> with<00:08:14.580> the<00:08:14.669> naked<00:08:14.699>

that<00:08:33.089> we<00:08:33.209> see<00:08:33.419> but<00:08:33.659> what<00:08:33.810> about<00:08:33.990> the the ones that we see but what about the the ones that we see but what about the second<00:08:34.529> question<00:08:34.680> that<00:08:34.919> I<00:08:35.070> asked<00:08:35.459> does<00:08:36.209> the second question that I asked does the second question that I asked does the theory<00:08:36.659> actually<00:08:36.810> work<00:08:37.380> when<00:08:37.709> you<00:08:37.800> try<00:08:37.829> to theory actually work when you try to theory actually work when you try to apply<00:08:38.370> it<00:08:38.490> to<00:08:38.640> the<00:08:38.880> real<00:08:39.120> world<00:08:39.839> well<00:08:40.649> it<00:08:40.740> turns apply it to the real world well it turns apply

didn't work in time and in detail it didn't work in detail<00:08:55.440> for<00:08:55.589> instance<00:08:55.890> they<00:08:55.980> couldn't<00:08:56.310> get detail for instance they couldn't get detail for instance they couldn't get the<00:08:56.699> mass<00:08:57.269> of<00:08:57.510> the<00:08:57.600> electron<00:08:57.660> to<00:08:58.350> work<00:08:58.500> out the mass of the electron to

many people correctly in this theory so many people worked<00:09:01.320> on<00:09:01.500> it<00:09:01.709> but<00:09:01.860> by<00:09:02.040> the<00:09:02.329> 40s<00:09:03.329>

but<00:09:06.600> very<00:09:06.709> compelling<00:09:07.709> idea<00:09:08.130> of this strange but very compelling idea of this strange but very compelling idea of how<00:09:09.120> to<00:09:09.180> unify<00:09:09.660> the<00:09:09.720> laws<00:09:10.050> of<00:09:10.230> physics<00:09:10.380> had how to unify the laws of physics had how to unify the laws of physics had gone<00:09:11.370> away<00:09:12.470> until<00:09:13.470> something<00:09:13.980> wonderful gone away until something wonderful gone away until something wonderful happened<00:09:14.910> in<00:09:15.060> our<00:09:15.300> age<00:09:15.630> in<00:09:15.959> our<00:09:16.529> era<00:09:16.920> a<00:09:17.190> new happened in our age in our era a new happened in our age in our era a new approach<00:09:18.089> to<00:09:18.360> unify<00:09:18.779> the<00:09:18.839> laws<00:09:19.140> of<00:09:19.350> physics<00:09:19.470> is approach to unify the laws of physics is approach to unify the laws of physics is being<00:09:20.130> pursued<00:09:20.519> by<00:09:20.580> physicists<00:09:21.480> such<00:09:21.630> as being pursued by physicists such as being pursued by physicists such as myself<00:09:22.170> many<00:09:22.380> others<00:09:22.620> around<00:09:22.740> the<00:09:23.010> world<00:09:23.220> it's myself many others around the world it's myself many others around the world it's called<00:09:24.060> super<00:09:24.839> string<00:09:25.079> theory<00:09:25.350> as<00:09:25.620> you<00:09:26.010> were called super string theory as you were called super string theory as you were indicating<00:09:26.519> and<00:09:27.089> the<00:09:27.990> wonderful<00:09:28.769> thing<00:09:29.040> is indicating and the wonderful thing is indicating and the wonderful thing is that<00:09:29.250> super<00:09:29.850> string<00:09:30.089> theory<00:09:30.390> has<00:09:30.839> nothing<00:09:31.380> to that super string theory has nothing to that super string theory has nothing to do<00:09:31.680> at<00:09:31.890> first<00:09:31.920> sight<00:09:32.519> with<00:09:33.149> this<00:09:33.329> idea<00:09:33.779> of do at first sight with this idea of do at first sight with this idea of extra<00:09:34.410> dimensions<00:09:34.980> but<00:09:35.850> when<00:09:36.000> we<00:09:36.089> study<00:09:36.360> super extra dimensions but when we study super extra dimensions but when we study super string<00:09:36.930> theory<00:09:37.110> we<00:09:37.230> find<00:09:37.500> that<00:09:37.620> it<00:09:37.740> resurrects string theory we find that it resurrects string theory we find that it resurrects the<00:09:38.640> idea<00:09:39.269> in<00:09:39.390> a<00:09:39.480> sparkling<00:09:40.260> new<00:09:40.709> form<00:09:41.070> so<00:09:41.519> let the idea in a sparkling

tell you how that goes super me just tell you how that goes super string<00:09:43.380> theory<00:09:43.620> what<00:09:43.860> is<00:09:43.980> it string theory what is it string theory what is it well<00:09:44.730> it's<00:09:44.850> a<00:09:44.880> theory<00:09:45.149> that<00:09:45.209> tries<00:09:45.540> to<00:09:45.570> answer well it's a theory that tries to answer well it's a theory that tries to answer the<00:09:46.200> question<00:09:46.620> what<00:09:47.130> are<00:09:47.160> the<00:09:47.399> basic the question what are the basic the question what are the basic fundamental<00:09:48.950> indivisible<00:09:49.970> uncuttable fundamental indivisible uncuttable fundamental indivisible uncuttable constituents<00:09:51.990> making<00:09:52.950> up<00:09:53.070>

the<00:09:55.680> idea<00:09:56.610> is<00:09:56.880> like<00:09:57.149> this<00:09:57.209> so world around us the idea is like this so world around us the idea is like this so imagine<00:09:58.560> we<00:09:59.279> look<00:09:59.490> at<00:09:59.670> a<00:09:59.700> familiar<00:10:00.209> object imagine we look at a familiar object imagine we look at a familiar object just<00:10:01.350> a<00:10:01.470> candle<00:10:02.040> and<00:10:02.100> a<00:10:02.190> holder<00:10:02.579> and<00:10:02.790> imagine just a candle and a holder and imagine just a candle and a holder and imagine that<00:10:03.540> we<00:10:03.690> want<00:10:03.870> to<00:10:04.079> figure<00:10:04.529> out<00:10:04.709> what<00:10:04.980> it<00:10:05.160> is that we want to figure out what it is that we want to figure out what it is made<00:10:05.550> of<00:10:05.760> so<00:10:05.970> we<00:10:06.089> go<00:10:06.209> on<00:10:06.329> a<00:10:06.360> journey<00:10:06.480> deep made of so we go on a

described has world when appropriately described has more<00:12:13.170> dimensions<00:12:13.740> than<00:12:14.340> the<00:12:14.910> ones<00:12:15.180> that<00:12:15.540> we more dimensions than the ones that we more dimensions than the ones that we see<00:12:15.960> now<00:12:16.950> you<00:12:17.040> might<00:12:17.340> think<00:12:17.760> about<00:12:17.850> that<00:12:18.030> and see now you might think about that and see now you might think about that and say<00:12:18.510> well<00:12:18.750> ok<00:12:19.320> you<00:12:19.380> know<00:12:19.680> if<00:12:19.770> you<00:12:19.860> have<00:12:19.980> extra say well ok you know if you have extra say well ok you know if you have extra dimensions<00:12:20.940> and<00:12:21.090> they're<00:12:21.180> really<00:12:21.330> tightly dimensions and they're really tightly dimensions and they're really tightly curled<00:12:22.080> up<00:12:22.350> yeah<00:12:22.920> perhaps<00:12:23.190> perhaps<00:12:23.970> we<00:12:24.210> won't curled up yeah perhaps perhaps we won't curled up yeah perhaps perhaps we won't see<00:12:24.720> them<00:12:24.960> if<00:12:25.170> they're<00:12:25.320> small<00:12:25.560> enough<00:12:25.590> but<00:12:26.070> you see them if they're small enough but you see them if they're small enough but you know<00:12:26.670> if<00:12:26.790> there's<00:12:26.940> a<00:12:27.000> little<00:12:27.240> tiny know if there's a little tiny know if there's a little tiny civilization<00:12:28.200> of<00:12:28.290> green<00:12:28.440> people<00:12:28.650> walking civilization of green people walking civilization of green people walking around<00:12:29.280> down<00:12:29.460> there<00:12:29.610> you<00:12:29.700> make<00:12:29.850> them<00:12:30.030> small around down there you make them small around down there you make them small enough<00:12:30.510> and<00:12:30.660> we<00:12:30.750> won't<00:12:30.930> see<00:12:31.080> them<00:12:31.260> either<00:12:32.060> that enough and we won't see them either that enough and we won't see them either that is<00:12:33.240> true<00:12:33.540> one<00:12:34.170> of<00:12:34.260> the<00:12:34.350> other<00:12:34.650> predictions<00:12:35.430> of is true one of the other predictions of is true one of the other predictions of string<00:12:36.210> theory<00:12:36.770> no<00:12:37.770> that's<00:12:38.070> not<00:12:38.250> one<00:12:38.460> of<00:12:38.550> the string theory no that's not one of the string theory no that's not one of the other<00:12:38.760> predictions<00:12:39.300> of<00:12:39.390> string<00:12:39.660> theory<00:12:40.400> but other predictions of string theory but other predictions of string theory but it<00:12:41.760> raises<00:12:42.030> the<00:12:42.270> question<00:12:42.300> are<00:12:42.840> we<00:12:42.930> just it raises the question are we just it raises the question are we just trying<00:12:43.200> to<00:12:43.350> hide<00:12:43.560> away<00:12:43.740> these<00:12:44.070> extra trying to hide away these extra trying to hide away these extra dimensions<00:12:44.520> or<00:12:45.410> do<00:12:46.410> they<00:12:46.530> tell<00:12:46.770> us<00:12:46.920> something dimensions or do they tell us something dimensions or do they tell us something about<00:12:47.280> the<00:12:47.580> world<00:12:47.790> and<00:12:48.060> the<00:12:48.660> remaining<00:12:48.960> time about the world and the remaining time about the world and the remaining time I'd<00:12:49.440> like<00:12:49.590> to<00:12:49.710> tell<00:12:49.890> you<00:12:49.920> two<00:12:50.280> features<00:12:50.670> of I'd like to tell you two features of I'd like to tell you two features of them<00:12:51.410> first<00:12:52.410> is<00:12:52.680> many<00:12:53.430> of<00:12:53.520> us<00:12:53.700> believe<00:12:54.090> that them first is many of us believe that them first is many of us believe that these<00:12:55.020> extra<00:12:55.380> dimensions<00:12:55.860> hold<00:12:56.190> the<00:12:56.400> answer these extra dimensions hold the answer these extra dimensions hold the answer to<00:12:57.290> what<00:12:58.290> perhaps<00:12:58.500> is<00:12:58.950> the<00:12:59.520> deepest<00:13:00.030> question to what perhaps is the deepest question to what perhaps is the deepest question in<00:13:00.950> theoretical<00:13:01.950> physics<00:13:02.280> theoretical in theoretical physics theoretical in theoretical physics theoretical science<00:13:03.570> and<00:13:03.720> that<00:13:03.780> question<00:13:03.990> is<00:13:04.200> this<00:13:04.380> when science and that question is this when science and that question is this when we<00:13:05.430> look<00:13:05.670> around<00:13:05.820> the<00:13:06.090> world<00:13:06.180> as<00:13:06.800> scientists we look

wouldn't<00:13:48.330> exist universe as we know it wouldn't exist universe as we know it wouldn't exist this<00:13:50.070> is<00:13:50.220> a<00:13:50.250> deep<00:13:50.579> question<00:13:50.610> why<00:13:51.360> those this is a deep question why those this is a deep question why those numbers<00:13:51.779> so<00:13:52.079> finely<00:13:52.649> tuned<00:13:52.950> to<00:13:53.519>

fiddle<00:13:57.660> with<00:13:57.750> those recognize that if you fiddle with those recognize that if you fiddle with those numbers<00:13:58.230> if<00:13:58.380> I<00:13:58.529> had<00:13:59.100> 20<00:13:59.310> dials<00:13:59.970> up<00:14:00.120> here<00:14:00.329> and numbers if I had 20 dials up here and numbers if I had 20 dials up here and I'll<00:14:00.480> let<00:14:00.510> you<00:14:00.690> come<00:14:00.870> up<00:14:00.990> and<00:14:01.140> fiddle<00:14:01.440> with I'll let you come up and fiddle with I'll let you come up and fiddle with those<00:14:01.680> numbers<00:14:01.829> almost<00:14:02.610> any<00:14:02.790> fiddling<00:14:03.269> makes those numbers almost any fiddling makes those numbers almost any fiddling makes the<00:14:05.430> universe<00:14:05.760> disappear<00:14:06.300> so<00:14:06.899> can<00:14:07.200> we<00:14:07.380> explain the universe disappear so can we explain the universe disappear so can we explain those<00:14:08.370> twenty<00:14:09.060> numbers<00:14:09.390> and<00:14:09.630> string<00:14:10.170> theory those twenty numbers and string theory those twenty numbers and string theory suggests<00:14:10.890> that<00:14:10.980> those<00:14:11.220> twenty<00:14:11.519> numbers<00:14:11.790> have suggests that those twenty numbers have suggests that those twenty numbers have to<00:14:12.390> do<00:14:12.570> with<00:14:12.870> the<00:14:12.990> extra<00:14:13.260> dimensions<00:14:13.829> let<00:14:14.459> me to do with the extra dimensions let me to do with the extra dimensions let me show<00:14:14.700> you<00:14:14.760> how<00:14:15.170> so<00:14:16.170> when<00:14:16.320> we<00:14:16.470> talk<00:14:17.010> about<00:14:17.190> the show you how so when we talk about the show you how so when we talk about the extra<00:14:17.760> dimensions<00:14:18.269> in<00:14:18.540> string<00:14:18.750> theory<00:14:19.170> it's extra dimensions in string theory it's extra dimensions in string theory it's not<00:14:19.920> one<00:14:20.459> extra<00:14:20.910> dimension<00:14:21.390> as<00:14:21.540> in<00:14:21.930> the<00:14:22.019> older not one extra dimension as in the older not one extra dimension as in the older ideas<00:14:22.769> of<00:14:23.070> Kaluza<00:14:23.760> and<00:14:23.940> Klein<00:14:24.260> this<00:14:25.260> is<00:14:25.320> what ideas of Kaluza and Klein this is what ideas of Kaluza and Klein this is what string<00:14:25.950> theory<00:14:26.190> says<00:14:26.220> about<00:14:26.670> the<00:14:26.820> extra string theory says about the extra string theory says about the extra dimensions<00:14:27.630> they<00:14:28.200> have<00:14:28.350> a<00:14:28.380> very<00:14:28.769> rich dimensions they have a very rich dimensions they have a very rich intertwined<00:14:31.100> geometry<00:14:32.100> this<00:14:32.250> is<00:14:32.310> an<00:14:32.640> example intertwined geometry this is an example intertwined geometry this is an example of<00:14:33.209> something<00:14:33.420> known<00:14:33.660> as<00:14:33.690> a<00:14:33.810> claw<00:14:34.230> be<00:14:34.290> a<00:14:34.440> shape of something known as a claw be a shape of something known as a claw be a shape name<00:14:35.610> isn't<00:14:35.910> all<00:14:36.120> that<00:14:36.149> important<00:14:37.079> but<00:14:37.680> as<00:14:37.829> you name isn't all that important but as you name isn't all that important but as you can<00:14:38.160> see<00:14:38.430> the<00:14:39.029> extra<00:14:39.410> dimensions<00:14:40.410> fold<00:14:40.829> in<00:14:41.070> on can see the extra dimensions fold in on can see the extra dimensions fold in on themselves<00:14:41.730> and<00:14:42.360> intertwine<00:14:43.020> in<00:14:43.380> a<00:14:43.470> very themselves and intertwine in a very themselves and intertwine in a very interesting<00:14:44.130> shape<00:14:44.610> interesting<00:14:45.149> structure interesting shape interesting structure interesting shape interesting structure and<00:14:45.839> the<00:14:46.500> idea<00:14:46.770> is<00:14:46.890> that<00:14:46.920> if<00:14:47.220> this<00:14:47.459> is<00:14:47.520> what<00:14:47.810> the and the idea is that if this is what the and the idea is that if this is what the extra<00:14:49.589> dimensions<00:14:50.130> look<00:14:50.370> like<00:14:50.670> then<00:14:51.180> the extra dimensions look like then the extra dimensions look like then the microscopic<00:14:51.839> landscape<00:14:52.560> of<00:14:52.709> our<00:14:52.890> universe microscopic landscape of our universe microscopic landscape of our universe all<00:14:53.610> around<00:14:54.089> us<00:14:54.360> would<00:14:54.990> look<00:14:55.170> like<00:14:55.410> this<00:14:55.709> on all around us would look like this on all around us would look like this on the<00:14:56.070> tiniest<00:14:56.520> of<00:14:56.700> scales<00:14:56.970> when<00:14:57.209> you<00:14:57.300> swing the tiniest of scales when you swing the tiniest of scales when you swing your<00:14:57.779> hand<00:14:58.079> you'd<00:14:58.290> be<00:14:58.380> moving<00:14:58.589> around<00:14:58.890> these your hand you'd be moving around these your hand you'd be moving around these extra<00:14:59.520> dimensions<00:14:59.640> over<00:15:00.209> and<00:15:00.329> over<00:15:00.540> again<00:15:00.630> but extra dimensions over and over again but extra dimensions over and over again but they're<00:15:01.470> so<00:15:01.649> small<00:15:01.980> that<00:15:02.130> we<00:15:02.279> wouldn't<00:15:02.640> know they're so small that we wouldn't know they're so small that we wouldn't know it<00:15:03.000> so<00:15:03.480> what<00:15:03.660> is<00:15:03.750> the<00:15:03.899> physical<00:15:04.290>

though relevant to those twenty numbers though relevant to those twenty numbers consider<00:15:06.930> this<00:15:07.170> if<00:15:07.740> you<00:15:07.829> look<00:15:08.040> at<00:15:08.160> the consider this if you look at the consider this if you look at the instrument<00:15:09.209> of<00:15:09.270> French<00:15:09.480> horn<00:15:09.750> notice<00:15:10.079> that instrument of French horn notice that instrument of French horn notice that the<00:15:10.320> vibrations<00:15:11.100> of<00:15:11.220> the<00:15:11.279> airstreams<00:15:11.760> are the vibrations of the airstreams are the vibrations of the airstreams are affected<00:15:12.390> by<00:15:12.480> the<00:15:12.540> shape<00:15:13.020> of<00:15:13.200> the<00:15:13.500> instrument affected by the shape of the instrument

all the numbers are now in string theory all the numbers are reflections<00:15:17.730> of<00:15:17.820> the<00:15:17.910> way<00:15:18.029> strings<00:15:18.540> can reflections of the way strings can reflections of the way strings can vibrate<00:15:18.870> so<00:15:19.800> just<00:15:20.070> as<00:15:20.160> those<00:15:20.279> air<00:15:20.579> streams<00:15:21.029> are vibrate so just as those

these<00:16:23.910> extra<00:16:24.330> dimensions<00:16:24.840> more test for these extra dimensions more test for these extra dimensions more directly<00:16:26.220> is<00:16:26.400> this<00:16:27.000> just<00:16:27.450> an<00:16:27.660> interesting directly is this just an interesting directly is this just an interesting mathematical<00:16:29.100> structure<00:16:29.640> that<00:16:29.790> might<00:16:30.090> be mathematical structure that might be mathematical structure that might be able<00:16:30.540> to<00:16:30.800> explain<00:16:31.800> some<00:16:32.540>

unexplained features of the world or can unexplained features of the world or can we<00:16:36.630> actually<00:16:36.960> test<00:16:37.260> for<00:16:37.380> these<00:16:37.560> extra we actually test for these extra we actually test for these extra dimensions<00:16:37.920> and<00:16:38.430> we<00:16:38.550> think<00:16:38.880> this<00:16:39.420> is<00:16:39.480> I<00:16:39.840> think dimensions and we think this is I think dimensions and we think this is I think very<00:16:40.350> exciting<00:16:40.500> that<00:16:41.370> in<00:16:41.460> the<00:16:41.520> next<00:16:41.820> five very exciting that in the next five very exciting that in the next five years<00:16:42.150> or<00:16:42.630> so<00:16:42.840> we<00:16:43.410> may<00:16:43.680> be<00:16:43.710> able<00:16:44.130> to<00:16:44.280> test<00:16:44.790> for years or so we may be able to test for years or so we may be able to test for the<00:16:45.600> existence<00:16:46.020> of<00:16:46.170> these<00:16:46.320> extra<00:16:46.620> dimensions the existence of these extra dimensions the existence of these extra dimensions here's<00:16:47.580> how<00:16:47.730> it<00:16:47.880> goes<00:16:48.350> in<00:16:49.850> CERN<00:16:50.850> Geneva here's how it goes in CERN Geneva here's how it goes in CERN Geneva Switzerland<00:16:51.630> a<00:16:52.170> machine<00:16:52.650> is<00:16:52.980> being<00:16:53.340> built Switzerland a machine is being built Switzerland a machine is being built called<00:16:53.790> a<00:16:53.910> Large<00:16:54.120> Hadron<00:16:54.390> Collider<00:16:55.010> it's<00:16:56.010> a called a Large Hadron Collider it's a called a Large Hadron Collider it's a machine<00:16:56.280> that<00:16:56.460> will<00:16:56.700> send<00:16:56.820> particles<00:16:57.450>

you slam them together and if together you slam them together and if we<00:17:54.600> are<00:17:54.960> right<00:17:55.230> some<00:17:55.830> of<00:17:56.010> the<00:17:56.130> energy<00:17:56.670> of<00:17:56.820> that we are right some of the energy of that we are right some of the energy of that collision<00:17:57.270> will<00:17:57.600> go<00:17:57.780> into<00:17:57.960> debris<00:17:58.350> that<00:17:58.500> flies collision will go into debris that flies collision will go into debris that flies off off off into<00:18:00.090> these<00:18:00.330> extra<00:18:00.720> dimensions<00:18:01.260> so<00:18:01.740> this<00:18:01.890> is into these extra dimensions so this is into these extra dimensions so this is the<00:18:02.160> kind<00:18:02.340> of<00:18:02.520> experiment<00:18:03.120> that<00:18:03.150> we<00:18:03.360> will<00:18:03.480> be the kind of experiment that we will be the kind of experiment that we will be looking<00:18:03.900> at<00:18:03.990> in<00:18:04.110> the<00:18:04.200> next<00:18:04.410> five<00:18:04.700> seven<00:18:05.700> to<00:18:05.850> ten looking at in the next five seven to ten looking at in the next five seven to ten years<00:18:06.060> or<00:18:06.450> so<00:18:06.630> and<00:18:06.980> if<00:18:07.980> this<00:18:08.820> experiment<00:18:09.330> bears years or so and if this experiment bears years or so and if this experiment bears fruit<00:18:10.110> if<00:18:10.290> we<00:18:10.500> see<00:18:10.800> that<00:18:10.980> kind<00:18:11.250> of<00:18:11.430> particle fruit if we see that kind of particle fruit if we see that kind of particle ejected<00:18:12.600> by<00:18:13.080> noticing<00:18:13.770> that<00:18:13.860> there's<00:18:14.070> less ejected by noticing that there's less ejected by noticing that there's less energy<00:18:14.790> in<00:18:15.000> our<00:18:15.270> dimensions<00:18:15.990> then<00:18:16.680> when<00:18:16.920> we energy in our dimensions then when we energy in our dimensions then when we began<00:18:17.370> this<00:18:18.270> will<00:18:18.600> show<00:18:19.110> that<00:18:19.290> the<00:18:19.440> extra began this will show that the extra began this will show that the extra dimensions<00:18:20.160> are<00:18:20.280> real<00:18:20.490> and<00:18:20.730> to<00:18:21.540> me<00:18:21.660> this<00:18:21.810> is<00:18:21.870> a dimensions are real and to me this is a dimensions are real and to me this is a really<00:18:22.710> remarkable<00:18:23.130> story<00:18:23.850> and<00:18:23.970> a<00:18:24.030> remarkable really remarkable story and a remarkable really remarkable story and a remarkable opportunity<00:18:25.170> going<00:18:25.350> back<00:18:25.560> to<00:18:25.710> Newton<00:18:26.040> with opportunity going back to Newton with opportunity going back to Newton with absolute<00:18:26.940> space<00:18:27.240> didn't<00:18:27.810> provide<00:18:28.290> anything absolute space didn't provide anything absolute space didn't provide anything but<00:18:28.890> an<00:18:28.950> arena<00:18:29.280> a<00:18:29.520> stage<00:18:29.880> in<00:18:30.150> which<00:18:30.240> the<00:18:30.480> events but an arena a stage in which the events but an arena a stage in which the events of<00:18:30.840> the<00:18:30.900> universe<00:18:31.230> take<00:18:31.440> place of the universe take place of the universe take place Einstein<00:18:32.790> comes<00:18:33.090> along<00:18:33.360> and<00:18:33.510> says<00:18:33.660> well<00:18:33.840> space Einstein comes along and says well space Einstein comes along and says well space and<00:18:34.440> time<00:18:34.620> can<00:18:34.890> warp<00:18:35.130> and<00:18:35.310> curve<00:18:35.580> that's<00:18:36.180> what and time can warp and curve that's what and time can warp and curve that's what gravity<00:18:36.660> is<00:18:36.960> and<00:18:37.320> now<00:18:37.830> string<00:18:38.640> theory<00:18:38.880> comes gravity is and now string theory comes gravity is

quantum mechanics<00:18:42.600> electromagnetism<00:18:43.290> all<00:18:43.620> together mechanics electromagnetism all together mechanics electromagnetism all together in<00:18:44.130> one<00:18:44.280> package<00:18:44.520> but<00:18:45.240> only<00:18:45.480> if<00:18:45.750> the<00:18:45.870> universe in one package but only if the universe in one package but only if the universe has<00:18:46.350> more<00:18:46.590> dimensions<00:18:47.220> than<00:18:47.430> the<00:18:48.090> ones<00:18:48.330> that has more dimensions than the ones that has more dimensions than the ones that we<00:18:48.960> see<00:18:49.200> and<00:18:49.790> this<00:18:50.790> is<00:18:50.850> an<00:18:51.090> experiment<00:18:51.690> that we see and this is an experiment that we see and this is an experiment that may<00:18:52.500> test<00:18:52.980> for<00:18:53.160> them<00:18:53.310> in<00:18:53.490> our<00:18:54.000> lifetime may test for them in our lifetime may test for them in our lifetime amazing<00:18:55.890> possibility<00:18:56.520> thank<00:18:57.120> you<00:18:57.240> very<00:18:57.390> much
