| 0:00.0 | You may want to watch this on YouTube, the links in the description, as I'm referencing plenty of images in formulae. |
| 0:06.0 | However, there are enough digressions here at a high level to make listening and additive exercise. |
| 0:11.0 | If you want more information, there are links in the description to videos that have heavily inspired this one, |
| 0:17.0 | including Andrew Dotson, Pretty Much Physics, Nima Arkani Hamid's talk, and Sabine Hassenfelder's wonderful and short video on natural units. |
| 0:24.6 | I highly recommend each of those channels slash people if you're serious about physics. |
| 0:32.6 | Okay, this video will outline how and why to use natural units to determine a numerical value, |
| 0:41.5 | place a numerical value to almost any physical observable that's macroscopic that you would like. |
| 0:46.7 | In my opinion, this should be taught first in physics, but for whatever reason, |
| 0:50.6 | there's no single lesson, there's no single chapter in a book, |
| 0:53.3 | there's no single lecture and a lecture series on this, instead it's strewn across several, and you start to intuit |
| 1:00.0 | it. You start to understand it implicitly as a physics student, rather than it being made explicit, |
| 1:05.0 | which it is being made explicit here. And that's because it can serve you in the beginning of your |
| 1:10.0 | understanding of physics and even in the middle of your misunderstanding of physics which is where we all are generally this video is meant to change the way that you view physics and even the world and that's the point the point of view shift this perspective shift is the point of this video while it outwardly about calculations, it's truly about developing a different stance on nature. |
| 1:32.3 | For those of you who are unfamiliar with me, my name is Kurtzai Mungle. |
| 1:35.3 | I'm a filmmaker with a background in mathematical physics, and I run this channel called Theories of Everything, which is a podcast. |
| 1:42.3 | It's a podcast first and foremost, so don't subscribe to this if you're not interested |
| 1:46.0 | in the rest of the content. |
| 1:47.0 | And the rest of the content is about making comprehensible the different toes that exist, |
| 1:52.0 | the different theories of everything. |
| 1:54.0 | So for example, Wolfram's Theory of Everything, or Geometric Unity, that's coming up, |
| 1:59.0 | or quantum gravity, well, that's the seedlings of a toe. |
| 2:02.3 | String theory, E8, et cetera, et cetera. |
