Visualizing the Symmetries of the 4 Forces of Nature Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 540 seconds The four known forces of Nature, electromagnetism, weak forces, strong force, and gravity, are associated with 4 symmetry groups. The software for analytical animations of quaternions generates pictures of all of these symmetries, which looks like an expanding then contracting tennis ball.

Geometry + 4-Potentials = Unified Field Theory Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 1043 seconds This is a talk I will be presenting at the 2007 April APS Meeting in Jacksonville, Florida. My GEM (gravity and EM) proposal is the spot between Newton's scalar gravity theory and Einstein's rank 2 field equations. Related: aps, gem, lecture, physics, sweetser, theoretical |

4 Simple Improvements in 4D Math = Unified Theory Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 1270 seconds Real and complex numbers have 4 properties: a robust derivative, the ability to commute, visualization, and many connections to group theory. These properties are developed for 4D in the hope of constructing a unified field theory. This video is a direct pitch to Garrett Lisi who has a unified field theory using E8, the largest exceptional group. Related: field, model, quaternions, standard, theory, uft, unified |

Analytic Animations: The Cross Product Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 103 seconds This series of three animations shows the cross product. Although we get to see the cross product of two basis vectors creates a third, the vision is transient because all share the same time, t = 0. The input can be made dynamic which does not alter the cross product. If the order of multiplication is reversed, the cross product is smaller, but still blinks into existence only while t = 0.

The Stand-Up Physicist: Flexible Geometry Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 1512 seconds Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show answers a criticism raised by Prof. John Baez who asserted that the GEM model fixed the background metric. By direct calculation of a static point charge, it is shown that the good professor is wrong because he did not see the change in potential/metric.
