   There are things that are topological features of   this network that persist, because the big thing  about particles is particles like electrons and   things, they can move from here to there and  it's still that same electron when you arrive,   so to speak. It's like, what is the thing  that is a robust feature of this structure and   that's a topological object in this network?  I thought one was going to have to know what   a particle's like and then one was going to  have to try to figure out what's the energy&nbsp…

   Um when we learn all of us learn to begin, we talk about the wave function of just a single particle. And in a way that's nice because you can if we go back to visualizing it, you can kind of visualize it. Um because just mathematically like a electric field or a magnetic field the wave function for a single particle is represented by a single number associated with every point in space. It's a complex number. So that's a little tricky but okay it's a it's a number. You can sort of say oh there's the wave function is is there's more of it here than here right and compare how much or the square…

   So if this new X particle interacts with protons or with neutrons or quarks or neutrinos or whatever, strongly enough to affect your everyday life, then we could make it by smashing together the particles out of which we are created. And the punchline is we have looked. We have smashed together all the particles. We've smashed together protons and protons. That's what the LHC is doing. We've done protons and antiprotons, electrons and electrons, electrons and positrons on down the line. We would have loved to find a new particle like this, and we have not done so yet. There are no particles li…

   Dark matter is exactly such a particle. We believe there are dark matter particles in the universe. Most of the mass of the universe by energy is dark matter. We believe that there are probably millions or billions of dark matter particles flying through this room right now and we don't care because they go right through. They do not interact with us. To affect our everyday lives in any way, this new particle would have to interact substantially with the particles that we know are in us like electrons, protons, and neutrons. So imagine there's some new interaction. There's a new particle that …

   If you poke the Higs field, it starts vibrating and you see a little particle called the Higs Bzon. We first successfully did that in 2012. Big news. Uh in Geneva, the Large Hydron Collider, we discovered the Higs Bzon. There are other particles that exist that we know about, but they're just heavier cousins of these particles. So there's not only an electron, there's also a muon and a tow. There's not only an up quark, there's a charm quark and a top quark, etc. All those heavier particles, if you made one right here, it would decay away in an instant. It would make these particles. So the cl…

   Now you might say well we know better than lelass in terms of what the laws of physics actually are right we've moved beyond particles bumping into each other in this simple way and that's true here are the current laws of physics this is the dramatic claim that I want to make the laws of physics underlying our everyday lives are completely known to us right now this is a claim that lelass could not have made and I want to emphasize that every word in that sentence is important you can't throw away one of the words and then complain that the sentence is no longer true. That would be correct. A…

   So now the topology is   all messed up. These are going to have the  same causal structure because every point   is causally related to every other in both of  them. So there's a causal isomorphism. They   have the same causal structure, but  they have very different topologies. And the beauty of what David did is he said,  how weak can we go here in terms of what's   the minimal level of causal structure that we  need to show that causal structure determines   the shape of the universe? And so he went  to work on …

   When I say we know, not only do we have a good idea, but a thousand years from now or a million years from now this idea will still be right. Hopefully we will learn more-- I mean, maybe the quarks and electrons and so forth are made of even tinier things. That's great. But there won't stop being quarks and electrons, and we won't be wrong about how they interact. And there are deep reasons for believing this is true. Let me just tell you what the ingredients are. This is an atom, right? This a neutron and a proton, an electron, so it's a deuterium isotope of hydrogen. The electron is held tog…

   And most importantly, how can I use this information in a way to grow as a person? I don't just want to build up beliefs about these topics. I want to expand my ability to create with them. And how do we do that? Where do we start? Well, let's start at the beginning. It's theorized across the board from creation myths, the basic geometry of the flower of life, and even in the big bang theory that light is among the first things created at the beginning of everything. So, exploring discovering how light works would be a fundamental piece to understanding everything. Let's take a look at particl…

    But really the way that we talk about the world in modern physics is through quantum field theory. And quantum field theory uses these little pictures called Feynman diagrams. My personal claim to fame in the world of physics is that the desk I have in my office at Caltech used to be owned by Richard Feynman. So I sit at Feynman's old desk. I leave blank pieces of paper in there hoping some diagrams will appear, but it never happens. So what Feynman did is to invent a way of talking about what happens in particle physics and quantum field theory, and also how likely it is to happen. So if we h…
