The Stand-Up Physicist: Why Quantum Mechanics is Weird Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 1587 seconds Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show tries to explain why quantum mechanics has to be the way it is, due to a new definition of the calculus of 4D events in spacetime. Pictures are provided.

New Quaternion Math Leads to New Reasons Why Physics Work Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 2466 seconds This is the talk I will present to the 8th International Conference on Clifford Algebras in Campinas, Brazil. The new two limit quaternion derivative definition has a real directional derivative for classical physics, and the norm of a derivative for quantum mechanics.

Hilbert Versus GEM Action Smackdown April APS Meeting Posted by: sweetser
Video duration: 1340 seconds n 1915, Hilbert wrote the action used for gravity. As an amateur, I have worked on an alternative that unifies gravity and EM. The two actions will be contrasted because they make different predictions for light bending around the Sun at second order PPN accuracy, and for the polarization of quadrapole moment gravity waves.
