Discussion about new theories of time

[Skeptic Ginger]

Seeking the expert scientific knowledge the board has to offer because this is mostly but not completely over my head.

This is a 30 minute YouTube video I found interesting but it wasn't something I had the ability to judge the current truth value of. I was under the impression AI wasn't that reliable yet. But maybe I've been down too many RFK Jr rabbit holes where AI invents citations. Anything anyone has to contribute is welcome.

Google’s AI May Have Found the First Evidence of a Force Beyond Time​

That's a crap channel. I've not seen it before. I watched about 2 or 3 minutes of the video and then went to the YouTube channel's home page to see if I could find any info about who is behind this channel. It appears to be completely anonymous.

There's a lot of mumbo jumbo in the video. Another recent video from the same channel is about crop circles:

Just lots of baloney. I link the above video only to show that this nonsense comes from the same source. I wouldn't recommend watching it.

I can recommend better science communication YouTube channels if you are interested. PBS Space Time is a good one.

PBS Space Time

Space Time explores the outer reaches of space, the craziness of astrophysics, the possibilities of sci-fi, and anything else you can think of beyond Planet Earth with our astrophysicist host: Matthew O’Dowd. For all business inquiries and sponsorship opportunities please reach out to...

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" Screams click-bait .

I just saved the 2 or 3 minutes Puppycow wasted.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Yes, I did see and ignored the crop circle video.

Ignoring the source and looking only at the content, was AI used to analyze CERN results?

 

[Gord_in_Toronto]

Since when is Time a force?

I can find info on CERN, Argonne, and ATLAS:

But no recent papers to confirm the video.

Since when is Time a force?

The Terran Interplanetary Military Executive?

Mention it to Donald, he'll probably give you a couple of billion to form it...

You've watched the video; you tell us. What claim did they make in the video? What evidence did they present to support their claim?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

They claimed that AI found some anomaly human evaluation missed.

The video description contains 5 links to articles discussed in the video.
Here is the first one. If you want to see the others, expand the video description under the video on the YouTube page.

Although the neural network didn’t find any glaring signs of new physics in this data set, it did spot one anomaly that the scientists think is worth further study. An exotic particle decay at an energy of around 4.8 teraelectronvolts results in a muon (a type of fundamental particle) and a jet of other particles in a way that does not fit with the neural network’s understanding of Standard Model interactions.

“We’ll have to do more investigation,” said Chekanov. “It is likely a statistical fluctuation, but there’s a chance this decay could indicate the existence of an undiscovered particle.”
