All particles belong to two large groups: fermions like protons and electrons make everything we consider βmatterβ, while bosons like photons and gluons transmit the fundamental forces. And that about covers the universe: matter moving through space and time under the action of forces. But what if we could create particles in between these two possibilities. Physics says these neither matter nor force anyons can exist, and they may have some pretty incredible uses. Theyβre called anyons.

Hey Space Timers! A few of you caught an little error on our part in the merch shoutout. And you are all technically correct, the best kind of correct! The Higgs UV shirt & hoodie will be available for sale at the Merch Store until July 4th, but we are currently past the date where we can guarantee delivery by July 4th. (shipping usually takes about two weeks). Hope that clears things up!
Us this a (medicore) Music channel or science talk? At the moment it's neither.
Imagine if this was all a simulation. Some guy is running the computer sim like we play the Sims, but he sees how the universe plays out if he were to increase the mass of a proton by 1% vs a decrease of 1% or how Fermions interact.
17:30 seconds to say "No, they can not exist"
Thank you
At first those anyons got me thinking about how light reflects off of a mirror and how you would see the reflection and the light in your eyes… Not correct, I'll need to rewatch this
Bosons are bozos
As a mathematician, I like how physicists are like beta testers trying to break nature with maths, but good maths always compiles in the end.
Thank you for including just enough math to force the contradiction! What a beautiful line of reasoning! I enjoyed following your explanation!
what does spin even mean in 1D universe?
So…. why doesn't this disprove the holographic principle hypothesis?
Also… "anyon"? Really? That isn't a terribly confusing at all. Nope, doesn't sound one bit like "anion", which totally isn't the name of something in a very closely related field of study and manipulation of matter, right? π€¦ββ
"We live in a conveniently simple universe" might be the funniest thing I've ever heard Matt say
A particle literally cannot exist in 2D or 1D space. That so-called 2D metal sheet is actually 3D. What a load of junk. You can tell it's junk by the improper use of the word 'infinite' at the beginning of the video.
This video
completely flew over my head at 1AU
I love your channel to an enormous degree, thank you so so much for making videos!
I love when you say "frankly awesome video!"
Sa
"Ha ha these things could never work in our 3d world…… UNLESSS"
Fascinating.
I'm guessing since Anyons can only exist under extreme circumstances (simulated 2D and 1D space), that rules them out as a Dark matter candidate. But could they exist inside Black Holes or at the very moment of the Big Bang? I.E., in singularities?
Does anyone out there understand this?
Love when I understand these ππ€
Had to watch it twice it was great.
Anyons odds huh?
Why not Bryans…

Are you talking faster than normal or edit it this to 1.5x speed? Thumbs down either way. Go back to the speed it was. Take a breath. Let ideas sink in before the next comes. I need the time.
Its really cool that we can figure out that these impossible particles could exist and then making them exist.
Great video, as always, but what's the point of advertising (at the end of the video) a commercial promotion that expires on June 23rd in a video published on June 27th?
Could you discuss the biverse theory of cosmogony? Do they necessarily have exactly the same events or do they evolve with separate quantum randomness?
I'd like to turn the title question around: Could matter or force not be a particle? Specifically, dark matter and gravity and/or dark energy?
This was pretty mind-blowing. One of the most profound conclusions in just about any Spacetime video.
Is it just me or is this video playing at 1.1X speed?
At 16:57, the equation e^i*pi*nu = 0 is incorrect, supposed to be a +1.
Small error but still good video!
