0:00.0 | Hi, we're here from Curiosity.com to help you get smarter in just a few minutes. |
0:04.8 | I'm Cody Gough. |
0:05.6 | And I'm Ashley Hamer. |
0:06.8 | Today you learn from renowned theoretical physicist Sean Carroll about why we don't understand how |
0:11.6 | gravity works and how we can figure it out. |
0:14.4 | You'll also learn about enormous balloon-like structures that scientists have discovered |
0:18.3 | in the center of our galaxy. |
0:20.0 | Let's set us some curiosity. |
0:21.6 | We don't understand how gravity works. |
0:24.1 | Are you surprised? |
0:25.3 | Well, Sean Carroll is not. |
0:26.9 | He's a renowned theoretical physicist |
0:28.6 | at the California Institute of Technology |
0:30.7 | and one of the world's most celebrated science writers. |
0:33.0 | His newest book is called Something Deeply Hidden, |
0:36.0 | Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Space Time. |
0:39.0 | And in it, he argues that scientists need to start digging into the serious questions around the inner workings of quantum physics. |
0:46.0 | Sean told us that we need to start asking those questions now if we ever want to understand how our universe really works. |
0:52.8 | You know, gravity we understand a lot about on the basis of general relativity, |
0:57.2 | Einstein's theory of gravity that we got almost exactly 100 years ago, |
1:02.1 | and Einstein said that space time itself is curved. |
1:06.7 | It changes, it has dynamics in response to the existence of matter and energy and that curvature |
