Charles Liu

Neil deGrasse Tyson

以主持《宇宙：时空之旅》和《星谈》等科学节目而闻名的美国天体物理学家和科学传播者。

Topics

Charles Liu: 提出单电子宇宙理论，认为宇宙中所有电子可能都是同一个电子在时间线上向前和向后运动。解释了反物质可以被解释为普通物质在时间中反向运动，以及如何通过电子在时间线上不同时刻的体现来理解所有电子都相同的现象。讨论了该理论的局限性和量子物理学在解释该理论中的作用。 Neil deGrasse Tyson: 对单电子宇宙理论表示惊讶和质疑，并与Charles Liu一起探讨了该理论的细节和可能性。提出了关于时间维度和世界线的问题，并与Charles Liu一起探讨了这些概念。 Chuck Nice: 参与讨论，提出一些问题和观点，并对单电子宇宙理论表示好奇和疑惑。

Could the universe be composed of a single electron? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly answer grab-bag questions about the multidimensionality of time, quantum chromodynamics, gluons, tachyons, and more with astrophysicist Charles Liu.

NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons can listen to this entire episode commercial-free.

Thanks to our Patrons Jason Byttow, Keith Bale, Daniel Levin, Multimedia Kart, Renata, CESAR FRADIQUE, Ginger Towers, handzman, Lisa Kohler, and 21Pandas_ for supporting us this week.

Cosmic Queries – Single Electron Universe with Charles Liu

Deep Dive

Could the entire universe be composed of a single electron moving forward and backwards through time?

Is time itself multidimensional? Could there be a higher dimension of time beyond our single arrow of time?

Is it possible that time doesn't speed up or slow down, but rather objects have a variable rate of change based on gravity and speed?

Can you detect quantum particles or quantum wave fields that don't interact with gravity or the electromagnetic wave field?

Why does violet look like a mix of red and blue when it does not lie between them on the spectrum?

What is so special about photons that they go exactly the maximum speed and any faster, they'd be moving backward in time?

What do both doctors think is the greatest achievement in astrophysics of all time?
