It Doesn't Matter
The Riddle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How little we know! How much to discover
What chemical forces flow from lover to lover!
How little we understand what touches off that tingle,
That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle.
Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters,
How little it matters, how little we know.

How little we understand what touches off that tingle,
That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle.
Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters,
How little it matters, how little we know.




How little we know.
How little we know.

Overall Meaning

In this song, The Riddle reflects on the complexity of love and the chemistry that drives it. The first verse mentions how much there is to discover about the chemical forces that flow between lovers. Despite all the advancements in technology and science, people still don't fully understand the inexplicable feeling that comes with falling in love. The chorus highlights the point that it doesn't matter how much or little we understand about the chemistry of love, as long as two people are in the moment of love, the rest of the world fades away.


The second verse brings back the theme of not fully grasping what ignites the spark between two people. Despite not being able to define what this chemistry is, the singer is content with the feeling of ignorant bliss that comes with being with their partner. They are so caught up in the moment of being with their loved one that they are not concerned with the rest of the world. The repetition of the phrase "how little we know" at the end of the song emphasizes the lack of understanding that still surrounds this complex emotion.


Overall, this song celebrates the intensity and unpredictability of love, acknowledging that there is still so much to discover and understand about this powerful force. The song encourages listeners to focus on the present moment and the feeling of being in love, rather than trying to understand the science behind it.

How little we know! How much to discover
There is so much to discover about the mysteries of love that we are unaware of


What chemical forces flow from lover to lover!
The chemistry of love is still a mystery that we are yet to unravel


How little we understand what touches off that tingle,
We do not comprehend the factors that lead to the feeling of butterflies in the stomach


That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle.
The sudden, intense feeling of attraction that arises when two people connect


Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
It seems pointless to try and define the inexplicable biochemical reactions that occur between two people in love


Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
When you are experiencing the pure bliss of being with the person you love, it doesn't matter if you do not fully understand the science behind it


So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters,
The power of a kiss from the one you love is enough to make everything else fade away


How little it matters, how little we know.
All that we do not know about love is insignificant compared to how much we feel it

I mean... anyone could do that. Its literaly just using illustrations and animations that well... less intelligent people CAN comprehend.

Unlike them, we never seen a proton before or a anti-neutron.
They did. But we all have seen a dog before. So them comparing the anti-particles to dogs makes it more relatable to us qnd thus easier to understand.

Like how you know the difference between a Circle, square and hexagon.
But a todler does not. Until you show the difference and explain what this difference is. (The amount of corners)

:)

This is second part of Entropy, which includes entropy in terms of arrangement and probability.

Suppose there are three color balls, r(red), g(green), b(blue) arranged in three places available for them. So they arranged like; rgb, rbg, bgr, brg, grb, gbr. There are six ways in which they can arranged this is permutation. If one more different color ball or place is added, pernutation or number of arrangement increases to twenty four, that is four multiply to six previous arrangements.

Now as there is no preference of any arrangement and all are equally likelihood, so probability of any one selection is 1/6. Thus we see that probability of any selection decreases with increase in permutation or arrangements, and which is related to number of particles or participants which is ball in this case. Decrease in probability is increase in uncertainity or randomness or chaos.

Now if in above case if two of ball are of same color, suppose there are three balls of two colors r(red) and b(blue). Then above six arrangements reduces to three; rbb, brb, bbr. So when particles becomes indistinguishable, permutation or arrangements decreases and thus probability of any one arrangement is increase. This type of permutation is equivalent to combination of choosing two balls from three balls of different colors.

Probability distribution function of maxwellian particles which are considered as distinguishable is given by suppose, 1/X. Where X is permutation of particles. Similarly permutations of fermions and boson are X+1 and X-1. Both fermions and bosons are considered as indistinguishable particles but their probability distribution function is higher than maxwellian for boson is okay but lower than maxwellian for fermions shows that fermions are distinguishable particles and that is indicated by their spin half property which is basis for exclusion principle.

Does there are three kind of particles, two of them are governed by quantum statics or there is one kind of particle given as classical one and there are three kind of distribution density states.

Suppose permutation of particles having given higher energy is X, then its probability density function is given by, 1/X. This is known as Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function where it gives probability of a particle having given energy at temperature. On increasing temperature, probability of particle having given energy increased.

Probability of a particle having given energy is 1/X and probability of a particle to not have given energy is,
1 - 1/X or (X - 1)/X. Now ration of a particle having given energy to a particle not having energy is, 1/(X - 1). This is known as Bose-Einstein distribution function and it tells about probability of a particle to have given energy if there is no particle have that given energy before or say ratio of probability of a particle to have given energy to go higher energy level to release given energy to come back to lower energy level. In textbooks it is interpreted entirely different.

Again probability of a particle having given energy is 1/X, and probability of another particle to have that same given energy is, 1 + 1/X or (X + 1)/ X. Now ratio of a particle having given energy and another particle to have same energy is given by, 1/(X + 1). Thus the probability of a particle having same energy as by another particle is decreased to if that energy is not occupied. This is known as Fermi-Dirac distribution.

So we see that there are no more two other kinds of particles obeying quantum statics but conditional probability distribution of same kind of particles.

This has got to be the best one so far. Could follow along with 90% of the discussion thanks to all the analogies and slides. Got a little lost during the neutrino talk, they set up how hard it is to catch and detect and it being electrically neutral but then at the end they said they just gonna shoot it 1000kms and split it with a magnet... Im guessing their is some explanation that was too hard to communicate in a discussion like this

@benjaminbeard3736

All the particles that are not electrically neutral are removed from the beam leaving only the neutrinos. Or reverse the magnet so you get anti matter and when it decays neutrinos are in your decay product.

@paulmichaelfreedman8334

@Benjamin BEARD All the charged particles are stopped by the rocks the beam travels through. Where even gamma radiation only travels at most a few hundred meters, neutrinos shoot through the entire Earth as if it's empty space. Neutrinos need a lightyear of lead to stop half of them. They are able to leave the core of the sun in a straight line without ever bumping into a single nucleus.

@benjaminbeard3736

@Paul Michael Freedman thanks for the clarification. I re-read my question and I'm amazed you understood what I was asking about. I wasn't very clear.

@djimiwreybigsby5263

​@@benjaminbeard3736thanks

@priyabratadash381

It's really a brilliant discussion that I will love to watch again and again.
The different perspectives to understand the grand design of this universe is something worthy listening and watching.
Thank you Prof. Brian Greene and other eminent scientists in this video....

@garywill6340

Brian Greene is a damn good host! He knows exactly how to guide the discussion and just when to interject for the audience. He's like human Alexa!

@edwood6015

I personally wanted to hear how large amounts of antimatter could be contained but he interjected and prevented that from being in the video. Me not like that.

@danieltakacs8222

@Edwood it's good for the majority though. That requires individuals to let go of certain stuff, but overall, everyone is happy.

I used to read Elegant Universe in between taking tickets at Carousel Cinemas as comgr b4 9/11 when KSM Al Qaeda cell would come thru on weekends for black movies.
