Pure poetry exists. 115 00:12:03,084 --> 00:12:07,084 To tell the truth, none of us working in physics 116 00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:10,334 pays much attention to the world. Everyone is pursuing 117 00:12:10,376 --> 00:12:14,042 his personal career to make the money we need 118 00:12:14,126 --> 00:12:16,417 to have a house, to have a car, 119 00:12:16,501 --> 00:12:18,626 to have company, to have 120 00:12:18,667 --> 00:12:21,792 the company of people who make us feel good. 121 00:12:21,834 --> 00:12:24,917 To have, let's say, important friends, 122 00:12:25,001 --> 00:12:28,001 and to be respected by those we live among. 123 00:12:28,042 --> 00:12:31,626 These are the most natural human needs... 124 00:12:32,376 --> 00:12:36,584 So the physicists who graduated from our department should 125 00:12:36,626 --> 00:12:41,959 take the first opportunity to move to such countries 126 00:12:42,042 --> 00:12:45,042 where they can make money because here you can't. 127 00:12:45,126 --> 00:12:47,209 Physics here is sheer pleasure. 128 00:12:47,292 --> 00:12:51,292 - It is generally treated as pleasure. - But they are here, in Poland. 129 00:12:51,334 --> 00:12:54,751 You should understand that money alone is not enough. 130 00:12:54,792 --> 00:12:58,542 A career is also needed, by which I mean the company 131 00:12:58,626 --> 00:13:02,001 and the recognition of the right people. 132 00:13:02,084 --> 00:13:04,001 Those kinds of needs. 133 00:13:49,084 --> 00:13:50,501 You had a coat. 134 00:14:00,626 --> 00:14:02,334 You may get cold. 135 00:14:09,709 --> 00:14:11,542 It's quite chilly. 136 00:14:23,542 --> 00:14:25,209 Well, go now. 137 00:15:16,001 --> 00:15:21,334 Once, the giant mass of the matter 138 00:15:21,709 --> 00:15:25,876 which space, galaxies, solar systems and ourselves are made up of 139 00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:29,501 was concentrated in something called 140 00:15:29,542 --> 00:15:35,167 the primary state. There was a point which didn't exist in time, 141 00:15:35,334 --> 00:15:38,417 as we understand time. It had no dimensions. 142 00:15:38,792 --> 00:15:43,792 It's estimated that some 10 billion years ago 143 00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:48,834 that point exploded. And that from that moment, the whole universe 144 00:15:48,917 --> 00:15:51,292 has been in exploding. 145 00:15:52,167 --> 00:15:54,459 - Wait... - It's the same with galaxies. 146 00:15:54,501 --> 00:15:58,709 Experiments show us that galaxies move further and further apart. 147 00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:01,876 So, all that matter which we are in, is thinning out. 148 00:16:01,959 --> 00:16:05,376 - And that started... - At the moment of the explosion, yes? 149 00:16:11,876 --> 00:16:14,501 What's your star sign? 150 00:16:16,501 --> 00:16:19,959 My star sign?

So how am I to know 194 00:28:04,459 --> 00:28:07,626 which branch of physics 195 00:28:07,667 --> 00:28:12,334 I should go for? Where success lies? 196 00:28:12,751 --> 00:28:16,042 - And you'd like to be good? - Wouldn't you? 197 00:28:17,376 --> 00:28:20,667 It's not so much about being good 198 00:28:20,709 --> 00:28:25,126 but about finding a place from where 199 00:28:25,792 --> 00:28:29,501 you can see the whole thing, where you can synthesize. 200 00:28:29,667 --> 00:28:33,626 Well, you do stand some chance. Einstein and a few others succeeded. 201 00:28:33,709 --> 00:28:36,459 But I'm giving you maybe one chance in 10,000. 202 00:28:37,126 --> 00:28:40,459 It's not about becoming an Einstein. 203 00:28:40,542 --> 00:28:43,751 I just don't want to make that choice yet, 204 00:28:44,251 --> 00:28:47,501 I don't want to get stuck in a narrow specialization. 205 00:28:47,667 --> 00:28:50,084 Making choices is never easy, not only in physics. 206 00:28:50,167 --> 00:28:51,917 You'll face the same problem in life. 207 00:28:52,001 --> 00:28:55,626 The point is that every time you choose you concentrate on what you're losing, 208 00:28:55,709 --> 00:28:57,376 and not on what you're doing. 209 00:28:57,459 --> 00:28:59,751 But in physics you have to decide immediately. If you ever achieve anything, 210 00:28:59,792 --> 00:29:01,042 it'll be before you turn thirty. 211 00:29:01,084 --> 00:29:05,959 Albert Einstein became a professor at 34. He was 42 when he received the Nobel Prize 212 00:29:06,042 --> 00:29:09,709 Max Planck became a professor at 22. He was 60 when he received the Nobel Prize 213 00:29:09,751 --> 00:29:14,084 Werner Heisenberg became a professor at 26. He was 31 when he received the Nobel Prize 214 00:29:14,251 --> 00:29:17,542 The relation of scientific productivity to age 215 00:30:17,251 --> 00:30:21,876 The most important difference between dimensions in space and time 216 00:30:22,459 --> 00:30:27,167 is that while we can move in space 217 00:30:27,209 --> 00:30:30,667 in various directions, intentionally and consciously, 218 00:30:30,751 --> 00:30:37,292 the course of time in our consciousness seems to be automatic. 219 00:30:37,834 --> 00:30:39,501 We can't control it. 220 00:30:40,834 --> 00:30:43,792 The course of time in our mind can be compared to 221 00:30:43,876 --> 00:30:48,251 a moving illumination: the present and the past, 222 00:30:48,667 --> 00:30:51,251 which exists in our memory, are illuminated, 223 00:30:51,376 --> 00:30:54,167 while the future lies in darkness. 224 00:30:55,626 --> 00:31:01,959 Maybe there is a way to illuminate the future, 225 00:31:02,001 --> 00:31:04,834 to expand this illumination. 226 00:31:05,501 --> 00:31:10,042 Maybe there are people who, even in darkness, can decipher 227 00:31:10,084 --> 00:31:13,084 unclear outlines of what will happen tomorrow. 228 00:31:15,376 --> 00:31:19,001 Such views may sound strange coming from a physicist. 229 00:31:19,209 --> 00:31:23,042 But contemporary science doesn't rule out 230 00:31:23,126 --> 00:31:25,709 the existence of the future in the present. 231 00:31:25,792 --> 00:31:29,292 Just as the past exists in our memory. 232 00:33:38,126 --> 00:33:41,251 - I'm sorry... - Franek, what is it? 233 00:34:10,334 --> 00:34:13,459 You didn't start evenly, everyone stomps 234 00:34:13,542 --> 00:34:16,209 at the same time. 235 00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:18,084 Attention! 236 00:34:19,667 --> 00:34:23,876 Slower!

I don't think I know any people 288 00:39:41,792 --> 00:39:47,209 who continued their studies after having to suspend them. 289 00:39:50,626 --> 00:39:58,709 I'd very much like to... come back but at the moment... 290 00:40:00,084 --> 00:40:05,459 I have absolutely... well... no other choice. 291 00:40:38,959 --> 00:40:42,292 - In the middle? - Well.

The subject falls asleep. 334 00:45:57,709 --> 00:46:00,876 Soon, beside slow waves of irregular amplitude 335 00:46:00,959 --> 00:46:04,167 a short series of high frequency waves appear, 336 00:46:04,209 --> 00:46:06,209 the so called sleep spindles. 337 00:46:07,584 --> 00:46:10,376 This chart means the patient is entering deep sleep. 338 00:46:10,417 --> 00:46:14,042 A dream with this kind of electroencephalographic characteristics 339 00:46:14,126 --> 00:46:17,667 lasts longer, in line with the physical fatigue of the subject. 340 00:46:17,751 --> 00:46:21,459 More or less every 90 minutes there are variations in the chart 341 00:46:21,542 --> 00:46:23,876 indicating an increase of brain activity. 342 00:46:23,959 --> 00:46:27,667 In this phase, we may observe the characteristic rapid eye movement 343 00:46:27,709 --> 00:46:29,001 under the eyelids. 344 00:46:29,251 --> 00:46:32,251 According to currently available data, most dreaming 345 00:46:32,334 --> 00:46:34,792 occurs specifically at this stage of sleep. 346 00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:38,209 Heavy mental fatigue increases the length of this phase, 347 00:46:38,292 --> 00:46:40,834 known in the literature as paradoxical sleep. 348 00:46:40,876 --> 00:46:44,001 People artificially deprived of this phase, experience 349 00:46:44,042 --> 00:46:48,501 a disorder of their emotional life, and even visual and aural hallucinations. 350 00:46:48,584 --> 00:46:52,501 In subjects experiencing hypnotic sleep, a hypnotist's command 351 00:46:52,542 --> 00:46:57,667 may lead to an arbitrary recording of the electroencephalographic activity of the brain. 352 00:46:57,917 --> 00:47:00,626 Open your eyes, please, you've slept long enough. 353 00:47:00,709 --> 00:47:01,959 It's already morning. 354 00:47:02,292 --> 00:47:04,876 Please, open your eyes, it's the day already. 355 00:47:04,959 --> 00:47:07,084 You're awake.
