    The discussion revolves around the concept that the fabric of spacetime may be interconnected through wormholes, which link virtual particle pairs that exist due to quantum fluctuations. The vacuum of space is not truly empty; instead, it is filled with uncertainty and fluctuations that give rise to virtual particles. This leads to the phenomenon where two parallel metal plates in a vacuum experience an attractive force due to the imbalance of virtual particle fluctuations inside and outside the plates, known as the Casimir effect. The conversation then shifts to the idea that quantum entanglement may serve as a structural element of the universe, suggesting that the universe is stitched together by these entangled connections, akin to a quantum net. This perspective posits that the entanglement of particles could be analogous to wormholes, indicating a deeper connection between regions of space. The mathematical foundation of these ideas is emphasized, suggesting that they are grounded in cutting-edge scientific theories rather than mere speculation.

    i have not been the same since we had
  • 00:00:02
    lunch months ago and you explained to me
  • 00:00:06
    and I've said it here that there are
  • 00:00:11
    ideas
  • 00:00:13
    percolating that the
  • 00:00:16
    fabric of spacetime might be
  • 00:00:20
    woven by
  • 00:00:22
    wormholes that connect the virtual
  • 00:00:26
    particle pairs that come in and out of
  • 00:00:28
    existence and that if they're connected
  • 00:00:30
    by
  • 00:00:31
    wormholes rather than just some field
  • 00:00:35
    then the wormhole is an actual
  • 00:00:38
    structural texture
  • 00:00:40
    of the universe yeah in fact the other
  • 00:00:43
    way now we I I'm sorry first of all I
  • 00:00:47
    need some weed to even deal with this
  • 00:00:50
    because if I'm I'm trying to figure out
  • 00:00:52
    what you just said here because it's so
  • 00:00:54
    freaking I mean it really is just crazy
  • 00:00:56
    wait let's back up the vacuum of space
  • 00:00:58
    right is not a vacuum because quantum
  • 00:01:00
    physics requires what there's all sorts
  • 00:01:02
    of uncertainty and that uncertainty
  • 00:01:04
    means that there's fluctuations and
  • 00:01:06
    therefore there are particle
  • 00:01:07
    antiparticle pairs there's energy
  • 00:01:08
    fluctuations there's field fluctuations
  • 00:01:10
    it's a roing mess out there and so
  • 00:01:14
    there's no nothing there is no such
  • 00:01:15
    thing as nothing that violates
  • 00:01:17
    uncertainty there's truly nothing right
  • 00:01:18
    there's truly nothing we couldn't have
  • 00:01:20
    uncertainty so the uncertainty is you
  • 00:01:23
    know the gives us the fact that we do
  • 00:01:25
    have virtual particles we know that they
  • 00:01:28
    popped in and out of existence what
  • 00:01:30
    you're trying to tell me I think it's
  • 00:01:31
    not that we know they're there no one
  • 00:01:33
    denies it because it's completely
  • 00:01:35
    consistent well I said well the case
  • 00:01:38
    force where you actually put two metal
  • 00:01:40
    plates in otherwise empty space they
  • 00:01:42
    should simply sit there they're drawn
  • 00:01:44
    together and our best explanation is
  • 00:01:46
    it's the virtual pairs of particles it's
  • 00:01:49
    the fluctuating filament did not I feel
  • 00:01:51
    like I have fallen into a Star Trek
  • 00:01:53
    nightmare
  • 00:01:56
    so you take two exactly parallel plates
  • 00:01:58
    okay okay and evacuate what's in between
  • 00:02:01
    them as the best vacuum you can muster
  • 00:02:04
    then you slowly move them together right
  • 00:02:07
    there is a point within which a whole
  • 00:02:10
    other force kicks in that's right and
  • 00:02:12
    it's not the gravitational force it's
  • 00:02:15
    not the electromagnetic force rather
  • 00:02:17
    it's a force that comes from the Casemir
  • 00:02:20
    field which is basically that got a
  • 00:02:21
    Nobel Prize the Casemir Well 1948 is is
  • 00:02:24
    when it was discovered it got one in my
  • 00:02:26
    book but it should have you just gave it
  • 00:02:28
    i just gave it my Yes it definitely
  • 00:02:29
    deserve one but but it's an imbalance
  • 00:02:32
    between the fluctuations of uncertainty
  • 00:02:34
    within the plates and the fluctuations
  • 00:02:36
    of uncertainty outside the plates and
  • 00:02:39
    it's that imbalance creates a force and
  • 00:02:41
    puts them together okay okay so that's
  • 00:02:44
    how we get the particles in the vacuum
  • 00:02:46
    of space okay so now unbelievable so now
  • 00:02:50
    why a what compels you to say wormhole
  • 00:02:53
    rather than just a field well because it
  • 00:02:56
    really comes from the idea of quantum
  • 00:02:58
    entanglement what we find is that
  • 00:03:01
    entanglement which normally we think of
  • 00:03:03
    as particle pairs but now we're finding
  • 00:03:05
    that the vacuum of space may be stitched
  • 00:03:08
    together by the threads of quantum
  • 00:03:10
    entanglement itself so deep down within
  • 00:03:13
    the substrate of reality it may all be
  • 00:03:16
    stitched together by quantum
  • 00:03:18
    entanglement and then other work shows
  • 00:03:20
    us that quantum entanglement connecting
  • 00:03:22
    two particles is just like a wormhole
  • 00:03:25
    going from one to the other because what
  • 00:03:26
    happens in one happens to the other
  • 00:03:27
    instantly yes and that means they're
  • 00:03:29
    touching each other in some weird way
  • 00:03:32
    and and entanglement is one language but
  • 00:03:36
    we believe wormholes may be the general
  • 00:03:38
    relativistic version of that quantum
  • 00:03:40
    language so it's like a little quantum
  • 00:03:42
    net holding the whole universe together
  • 00:03:45
    exactly right because because we find we
  • 00:03:49
    find mathematically if we cut the
  • 00:03:51
    threads of quantum entanglement which we
  • 00:03:53
    can do mathematically space falls apart
  • 00:03:57
    it discretizes into little tiny pieces
  • 00:03:59
    and then just disappears
  • 00:04:02
    i got to go i got to go no chuck i need
  • 00:04:05
    you to the end of this jack did this
  • 00:04:07
    don't leave me don't leave me ch oh my
  • 00:04:08
    god oh my god
  • 00:04:11
    dude that's insane it's not just that
  • 00:04:14
    there's a field there it's the fact that
  • 00:04:16
    they were quantum entangled that makes
  • 00:04:18
    the wormhole
  • 00:04:20
    uh model compelling yeah but I would say
  • 00:04:23
    you don't even need the particle pairs
  • 00:04:26
    it's as if the entanglement is
  • 00:04:27
    entangling regions of space so space
  • 00:04:31
    itself has a fundamental substrate woven
  • 00:04:35
    by these threads of quantum connection
  • 00:04:39
    now look it's mathematical but it comes
  • 00:04:41
    out of our cutting edge ideas it all
  • 00:04:43
    makes sense he's saying he's not pulling
  • 00:04:45
    out of his ass okay he's saying the math
  • 00:04:47
    and he started out saying the man my boy
  • 00:04:49
    loves the math
