3. now that's what you call a lecture
4. vigorous typing in the backgound
5. I have definite proof that quantizing gravity isn't that difficult at all!!
6. This man is cleverer than me.
7. the interruptions by the smarty pants guys wasn't helpful other for them to show off how much they know.
8. Sir Susskind has the best definition of entropy I've heard in all the lectures I've had from my teachers at University and on the Internet. It's quite elegant!
9. This past Saturday I was thinking about the Higgs Boson and Quantum Gravity. I had this idea. What if objects of mass create a stronger Higgs Field that make it easier for other objects of mass to be objects of mass? What I'm saying is that if there are more Higgs Bosons around very large objects such as the Earth that other objects of mass will naturally move toward the "Path of Least Resistance" which is where there are more Higgs Bosons or where the Higgs Field is strongest. Mass is attracted to mass on the quantum level simply because it is easier to be mass around other mass. If the Higgs allows for mass to exist wouldn't it make sense that the more Higgs the easier it is? Think about the common analogy of being stuck in a room of people where the other people are Higgs Bosons. The more people there are the more likely you are to get stuck in the crowd. Being in a crowd of 10 to 50 people is tough but imagine being stuck in a much, much larger crowd. Now, it's way easier to get stuck the crowd. It can become virtually impossible the more Higgs Bosons (people) there are around. True?
10. A cordial invitation is extended to all gravity and black hole believers, just for a couple of minutes, Come see a universe powered by sunlight , and not gravity. Come on over and be the judge. Check it out on YOUTUBE SUNLIGHT ELECTRO RAYS
11. this is nothing but a lecture on probabilities related to information theory wrapped in hilbert space. the video title is clearly wrong.
12. Zero gravity universe /cosmos .Powered by sunlight.Check out YouTube sunlight electro rays.
13. The cameraman does not know which is important whether the total black board or the equations Susskind writing on the board focusing closer. He is not an experienced person and does not know the importance of this kind of lectures.
14. Where he talks about Planck scale being the scale at which Quantum Gravity plays an important role, instead of saying it was a good guess he should have said that it's because it's the scale at which the wavelength associated with a certain mass is equal to the Schwarzschild radius of that mass, implying that at that scale the exact position and momentum of the mass have no physical meaning.
15. I want that shirt
16. I have a rather elegant proof that gravity can't be quantized, however this youtube comment is rather small to contain it.
17. can anyone hack into that network on the chalkboard ?
18. When you record a lecture, YOU DON'T FUCKING TYPE IF YOUR COMPUTER IS NEXT TO THE CAMERA YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE
19. biggest sham in science
20. you can also generate an enthropy quantity from these units. does it have any meaning? Perhaps the enthrophy at the big bang? or planck enthropy?
