Computing a Universe Simulation
Is it possible to simulate the entire universe on a computer smaller than the universe?
Quantum Invariance & The Origin of The Standard Model
PBS Space Time explores the outer reaches of space, the craziness of astrophysics, the possibilities of sci-fi, and anything else you can think of beyond Planet Earth. Host Matt O'Dowd breaks down both the basic and incredibly complex sides of space and time.
Quantum Invariance & The Origin of The Standard Model
Season 4 Episode 31 | 11m 10s | CC
Our laws of physics are equations of motion, along with some associated constants. We’ve talked about the symmetries of these equations, and how they lead us to conserved quantities. But this is just the tip of the theoretical iceberg - sometimes investigating the symmetries of these equations predicts entirely new physics. The standard model of particle physics is a remarkable example.
