Why Matter Is Just Trapped Light | Leonard Susskind

Описание: We live in a world that feels solid, heavy, and permanent. But what if your senses are lying to you? What if "stuff" doesn't actually exist? In this deep dive into the heart of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), we peel back the layers of reality to reveal a staggering truth: You are not made of solid particles. You are a collection of massless energy, vibrating so frantically in place that it creates the illusion of mass.Building on Einstein’s $E=mc^2$, we explore the "Box of Mirrors" thought experiment to prove how weightless light can create weight, and why 99% of your body’s mass comes from the kinetic energy of gluons—particles that weigh nothing at all. This is the story of how the universe takes the ethereal speed of light and freezes it into the standing waves we call "Matter."What you will discover in this lecture:The Deception of Touch: Why you’ve never actually touched anything in your life.Mass vs. Energy: Reinterpreting the most famous equation in history as a statement of identity.The Gluon Storm: How the frantic movement of massless "glue" creates your physical weight.Standing Waves of Reality: Understanding yourself as a localized vibration of the universal field.⚖️ OFFICIAL LEGAL DISCLAIMER & FAIR USE NOTICEEDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY: This video is produced strictly for educational, scholarly, and informational purposes.
