   I show you the equation you might still not be happy because you say well I only trust equations that can fit on a t-shirt So I had the experimental evidence that The core theory can fit on a t-shirt. We're in good shape now I Know what you're thinking. I've given this talk before different forms You're thinking fine you guys you physicists you have your particles and your forces But it's just the same kind of hubris to say that we're not going to discover new Particles and forces that you don't know about yet. How do you know that there's not new particles mr.? smartypants physicist, and of c…

   No in fact probably a 100 top physicists today want to start from the whole and derive the parts because they have understood that trying to go the other way gives you know leaves you empty-handed. Yeah. In fact, you know, string theory which tried to explain reality from the parts which are strings that vibrates [snorts] did not succeed. And you know, it took about 80 years of hard work. At one point 90% of the, you know, the physicist, the theoretical physicist were working on string theory. >> They didn't get anywhere. So that's that's telling you that no, we have to start with the wh…

   Prof: All right, today's topic is the theory of nearly everything, okay? You wanted to know the theory of everything? You're almost there, because I'm finally ready to reveal to you the laws of quantum dynamics that tells you how things change with time. So that's the analog of F = ma. That's called the Schrˆdinger equation, and just about anything you see in this room, or on this planet, anything you can see or use is really described by this equation I'm going to write down today. It contains Newton's laws as part of it, because if you can do the quantum theory, you can always find hidden in…

   We would throw string theory away at that point, and gleefully, well, that's perhaps too strong a word, move on to other ideas. We are nowhere near that place at the moment, quite the contrary. Anybody who knows anything about the history of string theory knows that there have been mathematical miracle after mathematical miracle showing that the equations fit together in such a tight-knit manner, with such graceful elegance, that you are compelled to press on with a theory that after the first time pushed together gravity and quantum mechanics. And so, yeah, that would that would be what it wo…

   So I mean I'm fond of taking that line of discussion too but I think of it more as a postdiction rather than a prediction for the very reason that you mentioned. We've known about gravity. Isaac Newton wrote down a mathematical understanding of gravity. But if you imagine a counterfactual universe for instance a universe in which there was no Einstein and we did not have Einstein's general theory of relativity and yet somehow people came upon string theory and they began to study the mathematics of string theory within the math of string theory a clever string theorist would extract the genera…

   Prof: So this is a very exciting day for me, because today, we're going to start quantum mechanics and that's all we'll do till the end of the term. Now I've got bad news and good news. The bad news is that it's a subject that's kind of hard to follow intuitively, and the good news is that nobody can follow it intuitively. Richard Feynman, one of the big figures in physics, used to say, "No one understands quantum mechanics." So in some sense, the pressure is off for you guys, because I don't get it and you don't get it and Feynman doesn't get it. The point is, here is my goal. Right now, I'm …

   What if if you took a powerful microscope and you looked into the heart of matter and you didn't find a swarm of little dots, but you found a swarm of little vibrating filaments. And the motivation for that came from the fact that with that move, the tension between quantum mechanics and general relativity went away. Mhm. That little tiny move from dot to filament was what you needed for the mathematics of these two theories to harmoniously meld together. So if this picture is correct, the electron would be a little vibrating filament and the quirks, they would be little vibrating filaments an…

   Is there any chance we find out what dark matter actually is in our lifetime? Well, I won't go through the whole rigomeroll again. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, there are detectors now capable of detecting for instance this particle called an axion that I mentioned in various windows and parameter space and sure they could be successful that that might be where this all ends up. Similar question. Do you think string theory will be proven experimentally someday? And how much time do you currently spend on string theory research? So two questions. Part one, will it be experimentally proven someday? …

   And that's really important because if you put forward an idea that's meant to be scientific, but someone can establish you can't possibly in any way, shape, or form ever test that idea, then it's hard to see that it fits within the categorization of science. But if you put forward an idea which at least in principle you could test if you had the right equipment, then to me if it solves certain key problems, if it advances your understanding theoretically of things like black holes and the big bang and the nature of space and the nature of time, which is what string theory does, then it's abso…

    Prof: So, I've got to start by telling you the syllabus for this term--not the detailed one, just the big game plan. The game plan is: we will do electromagnetic theory. Electromagnetism is a new force that I will introduce to you and go through all the details. And I will do optics, and optics is part of electromagnetism. And then near the end we will do quantum mechanics. Now, quantum mechanics is not like a new force. It's a whole different ball game. It's not about what forces are acting on this or that object that make it move, or change its path. The question there is: should we be even …
