The Invisible Reality: The Wonderful Weirdness of the Quantum World
Proposed a century ago to better explain the mind-bending behavior of the smallest constituents of the universe, quantum theory has implications far beyond the atom. This rich set of laws has applications both practical and extraordinary - from the technology that has revolutionized modern life to the possibility of parallel worlds.
Our audience joined Alan Alda as he accompanied Brian Greene, Nobel Laureate William Phillips and other leading thinkers at the vanguard of quantum research on an accessible multimedia exploration of the astounding weirdness of the quantum world.
This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.
The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

And god forbid you enrich yourself and your mind while doing so.
I love that the panel is so polite and accepting of each other's views. They're very passionate about their own theories and open to debate without needing to disprove the others. I'm looking forward to experiencing the reality where this approach is common place in politics, government, religion and any discussion with varying perspectives.
I love that you are interested in quantum mechanics.

Brian Greene is simply the best. Such a great orator, and an excellent host for discussions. Any WSF with Brian as the host is top notch. I love falling asleep to these
I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this lol
Me too!
At this point I'm so hooked, I'm watching the videos from the Science Festival every evening. Absolutely wonderful, entertaining and endlessly fascinating 👏 Thank you Brian for starting this amazing festival and for sharing this with us! Now my question is, why can't you entangle ANY atom? Why is he experimenting with specific ones which have specific properties? 🤔
Just binge-watching World Science Festival and almost burst my drink out of my nose in surprise when the "Throw of the Dice Dance Performance" came on. When did you y'all ever have interpretive dance performances? I'm flabbergasted and impressed and sad that I missed this point in history. I gotta binge watch more older episodes for more gems like these...
“Throw of the Dice Dance Performance” is an instant, prolonged classic! It’s actually a supplemental aspect that’s expertly executed with superb talent!
If you're new to quantum mechanics, this is a GREAT video. I just listened to this for the second, maybe third, time. Not so much for new information, although I love how Brian Greene can bring it down to concrete examples for the lay person. Rather, I listened this time for the sheer pleasure of watching people with radically differing points of view handle a conversation with RESPECT and intelligence., without a single mean name-calling moment. What a breath of fresh air, eh?
On your advice, I'll give it a try.
Brian is the man he's great with breaking everything down

I used to carry my national lottery tickets for a long time before checking the numbers, from a quantum perspective there was always the possibility of being a winner until I checked the ticket.
@Coy Leigh well that depends upon your interpretation of what they have said, what I have written and quantum physics itself. On the other hand you might have taken my comment a bit too seriously, are you an American?
What about the others who collapsed the wave function earlier than you by checking and who won thus ruling you out? I think its more plausible that the wave function collapsed by interacting with the measuring apparatus. Otherwise if you never checked it then the world would be in limbo indefinitely. This also means there's nothing special about consciousness nor is it necessary for the world to work.
@@Joe-lb8qn true but seeing as you are all just figments of my imagination none of that really matters :)
I still do that when I buy lottery tickets 😂 I wait a week to check them (to keep the hope alive !)
But actually, the reality was the same for both scenarios, it's just that you wanted there to be some function of condition. Why can't we accept what we have when we have it all?
After months of watching PBS spacetime videos, the algorithm sent me here. Does this mean I've leveled up or something?

40:28 "But you know, even more satisfying is if something comes out different from the way everybody predicts, because it's so much more exciting, because you learn something new." Imagine if we all thought about "being wrong" this way!
It's easy when the "experiment" has no real life consequences on your life, the lives of your kids, or your community.

No.
I've done some elaborate research on this double slit experiment. I have never heard ANYONE talk about WHY they use 2 slits and what those slits represent. The 2 slits are your eyes. You are viewing light waves. We each manufacture our own personal reality in our minds

I love how Alan Alda leans in toward the panelists because he's focusing so hard! I just adore Alan Alda!
Robin Williams Lol ... I miss that guy. Always trying to lift everyone's spirits.
the solution ~ change yourself: Picture a child you love very much at the age of 2 years old. Imagine this child before you and focus on the feelings of love you have for this child. Focus on your love for the child until it has expanded so much that you are smiling and feeling joy. After you have maintained this feeling for a few minutes, move this child to the side and place in front of you ~ yourself at the age of 2. Picture yourself now at the age of 2 and keep focusing on the feelings you built up for the first child ~ is not the second child as precious as the first? You are now loving yourself ~ stay with the feeling and expand it further ~ open your heart. Now that you know how to get into a feeling of love for yourself, you can change your age to focus on areas that may be more difficult for you to love yourself. Do this exercise daily and loving yourself will be become your natural response to yourself
Wow thank you! I really like that and will try it

Brian Greene is great. He doesn't get in the way of the science the focus is where it should be on the material on the ideas not on himself. This is one of the best discussions of its kind I've listened to. It touched on many of the most fascinating aspects of QM.
That's why I only listen to him. I want physics, not opinions on anything else.

I am weirded out because I started this video and never saw it until someone time stamped it. The water is Elvis, THE WATER IS ELVIS
Brian Greene is the true legacy of Carl Sagan. Science communicator with no arrogance.
This was one of the most beautiful events from the World Science Festival. Not only is the topic one of the most interesting (personally I find "The Limits of Understanding" to be the most intriguing one I've seen until now), but what really makes it shine is the wonderful panel. All of the participants, including Alan Alda were as nice and respectful as can be, all the while exposing brilliant ideas through the use of their genius. A truly admirable performance by all of them. By the end it leaves me feeling extremely glad to have watched this.
Good comment and to add to this it shows how waves are signal units of life similar to the voice and other sounds and particles. Through communication technology, waves can possibly exist in a code of ones and zeroes that transforms into the code of life which can exist in a DNA form of Mathematics and Words existing as the same thing in a different form together as one making WORD SOUND and POWER. The voice we speak with is a wave signal and when this voice leaves the body where does it goes and what are the values of its existence. Everyone has a different frequency existing abundantly throughout eternity in a mathematical formula hidden around codes of waves that can basically exist in words and numbers and also colors.

@Multiple People the Emerald Tablets are not part of the bible.
Very enlightening if a bit confusing. But science is never dull and I love learning about Quantum Physics. Fascinating!
When I saw Alan Alda was the host I said to myself "Oh no, he's gonna dumb this whole thing down", but I was very pleasantly surprised. He seems to be very well versed in science.
Views smart enough for greed = 0 science in physics reality counts.
Betz claim no other invention possible 100 years ago then you dont see 1 + 0 on left repeatedly brainwashing phyics
i felt he did a great job as host but sometimes it seemed like he was belittling some of the points they were trying to get it across. maybe just my perception
Brian Greene is an excellent speaker, and most of his points and analogies were very good. However, he said two things that were simply incorrect: (1) Greene said that de Broglie introduced the concept of probability into quantum mechanics. Wrong! The probability business came from Max Born. What de Broglie did was reason that since light, known to be a wave, was displaying particle properties, that perhaps particles like electrons could be made to display wave properties. The clincher was that a precisely integer number of his electron wavelengths fitted into each electron orbit of the Bohr model. He never said that his particle-waves were probability waves. (2) Greene said that Einstein made arguments about spin correlations in the famous EPR paper. Wrong! The second part of the EPR paper dealt with position-momentum complementarity in a two particle system, in which one could arrange for both particles to have large momentum uncertainties, and yet the overall momentum of the system might be required to have a specific value. The business of introducing electron spin and photon polarization into EPR experiments came more than 40 years later from David Bohm and John Bell. I'm not sure how these mistakes crept in, but to me as a physicist they sullied an otherwise very good presentation.
John G. Cramer I was also surprised that he didn't credit JS Bell's 1964 paper for connecting spin measurements on pairs of entangled electrons to the EPR paradox.
John G. Cramer Did you forget about 2?
+John G. Cramer Apart from crediting Einstein for Bell's theorem and de Broglie for Born's statistical interpretation of the wave function, Greene also states that the greatest entanglement distance was 11 km. However, over a year before this program's original date (May 2008), two photons were entangled ~144 km apart between La Palma and Tenerife in the Canary Islands. I know he's a string theorist and not a QM physicist, but neither am I, and by any standard these major factual oversights are not ok!
+John G. Cramer Thanks a lot for your remarks John : )
+John G. Cramer So maybe you can clarify something that got me stuck. Probabilities are not negative so this concept of a wave that disrupts a surface by going above and below in the same amplitude only works at first for me if the initial level is 0.5, and max 1, min 0.... otherwise, the waves can only go up the level but never down... The problem I with this is... probability waves can never cancel out... so while I can get that there is an intuitive relationship between intensity of the bands and the probability of an electron to hit that area, it does not really explain what is the propagation medium of the wave made of (as in the water wave, the medium is H2O)... what if the propagation medium is in another undetected dimension that acts very much deterministically, but because we are not detecting it we just assume that the beamed electrons will behave with some uncertainty and will hit the target on a position with a certain probability? In that case, wouldn't this probabilistic model of quantum physics be giving up on the true explanation of the real phenomenon that is happening?
This is the kind of stuff that makes you feel so privileged to be alive!
16:46 (beginning of it) When you're not looking at it, you don't know where it is. But when you look at it, here it comes. Basically, your intention through your thoughts is actually gathering that energy to your place of focus. It is one of the misunderstood concepts of energy channeling

The interpretation of nature and of reality is best described by Thomas Carlyle. In his essay on Hero and Hero worship. When writing on Muhammad he was intrigued by how much the Quran the holy book of Muslims emphasize the signs in nature and the Divine. However the mention of miracles unnerved the modern scientific world. Where one has to delve by the laws of mystics and mysticism. To transcend even the revelation and construct a direct communication with the creator. Sounds like a myth, go ahead research your self the lives of many Christians who wanted to teach Arabic or Persian at Oxford University and Cambridge University and turned Muslim. Start with A. J ARBERRY. and the French Rene Guenon and take ten years to find that while dolphins can use sonar so can humans a perfected heart free to call God. Or else read Dr Lothar and his Infinite potential to be able to see how this Quantum chemist is interpreting the virtual states of atoms and molecules. God bless all who have not been brain washed by Science.
Quantum mechanics and quantum physics does not disprove there is a God perhaps science and YOUR Persoanl perception of God is crazy, the person above does not say anything about God within a particular "religion". "Religion" is man-made, however to have a "relationship" a connection with our creator should be sought after. Look around your world, the room you sit in right now, the chair you sit in. Is there anything in that space that you "see" with your physical eyes that was not "Created" by invention from first a thought or idea within anothers imagination? Everything in our world we live in has a "Creator" "Inventor" then brought the idea from imagination forth...so now you have that chair your sitting on. "Everything" has a Creator. God [intelligence within infinity in motion] created us in whatever way that took place [not within our scope of full understanding it all. I do know and understand Religion was invented of mankind's small imaginations on how to fullfill their "agendas" to bring forth much destruction of whats true. Its a MUCH BIGGER picture! So with that being said, which comment sounds crazier yours? Or Sabreen's?
What?
Did anyone happen to notice that after Alda's final question, Tegmark talked about 200 years in the future, Phillips talked about 50, Albert 100, and Greene "a few hundred" years?...as if the future is the same plus or minus a hundred years. Pretty ironic considering how much has radically changed in the world of physics in the past 100 years.

“The probability wave… is that a real thing or a mathematical construct?” “Uh, w-well, um…” I can imagine how difficult it can be for scientists deep into the limits of human knowledge to answer basic questions in a basic way regular people can understand.
I was very impressed with Alan Alda's hosting of this program! There were several times when the discussion could have gone downhill where his interjections really kept things moving forward. I enjoyed Mr. Alda's hosting of Nova Science Now, but I think that his involvement in this panel better shows what he's capable of as an engaged presenter and interested observer of the scientific community. Truly an example of an informed host participating and facilitating a discussion rather than just introducing the next speaker. Kudos, sir!!!
Excellent observation and as I would add, many other hosts should learn from Alda's talent. This is proof that if one doesn't have Al Alda's talent in this field [and obviously his intellect + experience] one needs to prepare for such event previa, before thinking it's a matter of just asking questions. This shows how very NOT easy it is to host and shine while at the same time keeping the audience inerested, engaged and awake. Again, great observation brother!
This would explain why my jealous girlfriend is always seeing me at places when I'm really at work.

The best thing about this video is that, they all are a bunch of probabalistic atoms dicussing about their own nature in definite reality.
I love these. Makes people think. Like I say all points have a correct answer until we expand further into detail. If the electrons make a wave by getting shot through a slit. What happens when there is no screen? What happens is the screen is a circle? Would that mean that the an outside force is what determines the probability. As well as the person that said “we clone you yet you are in two places” in that case both know that they are indeed where they are because they OBSERVE where they are. They have the same memories but different observable places. Schrodingers cat shows that we do not know anything until we OBSERVE IT. But then we have things that happen whether you observe them or not. On the day that we can create an instrument that can measure PROPERLY to the most exact decimal is the day that we, as a society, Will conquer quantum mechanics. Every time we find a way to measure to the last decimal and exact measurement. We learn so much more.
Alan Alda made this far more enjoyable than some of the other WSF presentations. Good dynamic between him and the panelists. Really great speakers.
Fast forward 20 years when we finally figure out quantum physics and this video will be hilarious to watch.

The best explanation for the first 20:00 of this video is we are in a simulation and it renders when you look at it . And then is transferred back to virtual memory ..
It occurred to me today that the fundamental nature of reality is that it provides measurable data that can be described by mathematics to a high degree of accuracy, and to make predictions that can be verified to a high degree of accuracy. I must also add that the fundamental nature of language is that it requires interpretation. What matters is what you do with your interpretation.

*What if the hidden variables are not in the two entangled particles, but in the point of space where they separate??*
I was think more along the lines of what these electrons are doing. Are they all spinning the same on launch, at what point of their wave do they start. Can we manipulate the wave frequency somehow? Is it a spiral rather than a wave? Is there outside influences such as how space has an energy value, there is no such thing as zero energy… Many straws to grasp at there.
Why are we still trying to figure this out a hundred years later? We should be trying to figure out how the Borg use trans-warp conduits.

Two interpretations for the single particle creating a wave pattern; 1, the particle has a wave like property and 2, the direction the particle travels in is constrained in some wave like manner. Note; these directions or dimensions could be virtual. My guess would be that reality is emergent and these particles are virtual along with the dimensions, including the time dimension. The idea would be that the macro world in being constructed by the micro world. The constraint is fractal in nature. Truth as a time coordinate; truth lives in the past, the future is uncertain. Truth as a scale coordinate; truth lives in the macro world, the micro world is uncertain. Truth lives in the macro past and uncertainty lives in the micro future. The inside of a seed is larger than the outside of the seed. Inside of the seed is an entire forest. No matter how much information we use to describe a tree, it will always be incomplete. The only complete description of the tree is the tree itself.
Imagine had A. Einstein publicly opined, "It may appear dicey and spooky to us but obviously, in the reality of any situation the Creator knows how to drive these quantum things."
Different thinkers reactions/viewpoints , different results , but the probability are great , filling the gap , it’s infinite .QUantum mechanics proved that the World is so strange ,same way we are all peculiar in different way .. Apple , pears , mango came out differently from different observers etc ..but it’s good to be weird sometimes in a good way /clear conscience .
What I love about this, is that quantum mechanics, physics, applies to everything even societal behavior. This is a possibility to me, that the probability and law of attraction go hand in hand and that polarization is inevitable. Society can not be tricked into a United mindset. I think we physically and behaviorally mirror the behavior of quantum world around us with a difference in form and size. Even in a world of variabilities, a pattern or behavior is inevitable and desires to not be alone. Even from a spiritual perspective, quantum mechanics apply. Our understanding of both are incomplete and imperfect but those who have a sound understanding of both recognize that spiritual understanding and behaviors as we know them are basics or infantile but teaches profound quantum curriculum. We don’t understand the quantum world because we refuse to recognize it in human behavior, or recognize it in basic spiritual teachings.
In retrospect, traumatic events would probably put you at an outlier. Speaking of outliers, how do you think we can access those spots where human behavior can’t reach, kind of like the blank spots in the first diagram he showed.
Very interesting program. At first, I listen very closely to each of speakers. Later on, I hear only one voice of science knowledge and reality. Because I put all my thoughts of understanding, and all talking into my own space as vegetables soup of theories and reality. I am getting back to my reality with my vegetables soup. LOL
Perhaps you should try alphabet soup... 🤷🤔
I totally feel the same way !!! Beautiful discussion.
What a privilege it is to listen in to these guys talk.
I'm not a scientist, I'm just a soul who knows what it is not to be afraid I'm being real with ones self... before others! That's what i feel being intelligable, truthfully is
Great video, except for the dancing
i "got" that too :(
sad choreographs but good job on it
I thought it was interesting as it was representing the randomness of electrons and I don't care for the arts. I mean yes it was random and crazy but I think that was the point.
Well, it’s kinda build to a scientific view that “ god don’t play dice with the universe”.So yeah, as of science can be boring sometimes.
the probability dancing was going to happen was low but, it was there and it happened.
This whole conversation sounds like a bunch of brilliant people trying to muster up the courage to drink some ayahuasca.
I know EXACTLY what you mean!
Totally.
I drank it.. ha.
I’m trying to muster up the courage to drink it. What can I expect if I do?
Perhaps it’s more of a spiral than a wave. Looking at a spiral from the edge, you still get the troughs and peaks, but not just up and down, but from all angles looking at 90 degrees from line of travel.
You are on to something interesting. Sound vibration frequency control all. Who is generating the sound to create all into physical reality? And then there is the hidden invisible layer which is the unseen spiritual realm that is pure energy who is everywhere and nowhere to be found at the same time. God The Father The Creator King of Kings Christ Divine Holy Spirit which dwells in all natural born biological human beings.
Maybe ?!
Maybe Tolkien was right all along with his creation story.
He reminds me of an actor - handsome film star quality but glad he chose this as a profession. Eye candy always encourages students to listen and learn. ;)
Wow, i think this is the best talk I've ever seen from this channel. I love this conversation!
@Pam Martin Yes, I wish they'd leave that sort of cack out of it. Like that string quartet they had in the string theory one. {:-:-:}
It's been a while but I *think* Einstein discovered that the Planck constant worked on light as well as electrons. My thought is that electrons themselves are waves. The electrons are probably only perceptible when in a state of superposition. I'm not so sure about the multiple probabilities theory. I think it's possible that one electron is actually something that takes up a lot more area, perhaps even slipping through objects. I think because we probably only detect the electron because of its state of superposition, we don't see that the whole entire area is given a value. The next electron is sent and it adds its value to the value cast by the previous one. Once the process is complete, you should get something resembling an interference pattern. I think the consistency of the Max Planck constant being used in both electron and photon movement hints to me that everything consists of waves.
“Probability Profile?”. “God does not play dice.” Albert Einstein: 1926
EQUAL AND OPPOSITE R EACTIONS PRODUCES THE SPEED OF LIGHT WOBBLES THEN INFINIT VALUES use in the automatic feathering flat blade radial windmills pitting closed blade against its opposite open halfs simontanisly with mirroring magnetic fields both directions vertical and horizontally
Probability profiling is prolific
God is a great dice player. 😁 "I saw something else under the sun. The race isn't won by fast runners, or the battle by heroes. Wise people don't necessarily have food. Intelligent people don't necessarily have riches, and skilled people don't necessarily receive special treatment. But TIME and UNPREDICTABLE EVENTS overtake them all." Eccl 9:11
If this is built on probability, then it’s probably wrong.
From the average dude, who did not believe in god, sure Play dice is particles free will, einstein wasnt the wisest, or the smartest.
One of the best physics lecture i have ever seen
Is this the first you've ever seen?
@@StreetcornerAvonlady yes
@@dannyannet154 LOL I could tell. this wasn't their best. They are all a little slanted.
I think, what is missing with quantum computing is the HOW they can put their calculations in between Zero and One. I think, Zero and One can be considered as positions and not as properties.
There is one guy l find his work very unique and worth following.His name is Dr Scott Mcquate.I will highly appreciate if you could invite him once again.
Simple mind here just asking a question. Could the large object (baseball) being made up of electrons. If you followed all the probability lines vertical and horizontal. Would they end up pin pointing at each particle or atom or whatever it is that forms the smallest piece of the solid (baseball). So instead of the probability changing when not looking. The reality is much less chaotic. It's more like it is in that one location. But depending on angle/distance/turbulence/excreta depends on which convergence point you are seeing or finding as we can't really see that small. Cover a page with tiny dots. Look at one, then look away and back again. Did the dots move, or did our perception change as we are looking now from a slightly new position, angle, lighting, location, excreta. Now make a page with only four large dots on it and try again. As the probability lines point us to a large enough object. We can always see it. Hope this question makes sense. It does in my head but communicating it without proper education is hard.
Discussion starts at 23:00
This gives a whole new meaning to "There's 2 sides to every story".
The dance routine at 22 mins…. One step forward two steps back for humanity
There are unanswered questions here. For instance, are the electrons in the first illustrations traveling in a ABSOLUTE vacuum? This would be important because the initial electron that was fired at the screen would be effected by EVERY other electron between the firing point and the screen. Why act as if there were Nothing between the two. And each atom would effect the travel path and cause deviations to what should have been a straight line between firing point and impact position. Think of a Pinball machine and how the ball bounces of of the posts as it travels across the board. Wouldn't these tiny electrons be much more susceptible to "bouncing around" or at a minimum "swerving" due to polarity differences or tiny charge differences between itself and those it was passing ? Think about it. This would even work when you look at it with light because light itself and electrons both act experimentally and mathematically as if they were both a wave and a particle .
My same exact thoughts! I wish this was discussed.
Scientific performance dance to bad jazz. Wow. Did not see that coming.
+Michael Privat It was always there ;)
Thank you for the introduction to Quantum World. The question which I have is : How did this presentation evolve? In other words, prior to the labelling of this topic as "Quantum", to what extent did the natural world present this characteristic, these characteristics? It does not make any sense to talk about Quantum outside of an experimental context because in an experiment the conditions are defined for the purpose of the experiment and do not correspond to natural circumstances. It is all well and good to build a Quantum system for analysis or for calculating quantities. But this does not necessarily reach a valid conclusion. Anyone who watches this Quantum World will need to have answers to fundamental questions. Alternately a new or different approach must emerge in the future.
Totally agree. Sadly few - especially among these "great minds" here themselves - seem to even stop a second to think about things that way.
But how did Einstein do the experiment back then ?did they have phone?
43:24 I just happened to be admiring my cute kitty sleeping next to me when Alan Alda breaks out laughing so loud that she instantly wakes up! The irony of this struck me on 2 levels!
lol olpphone ill ppl pop
11:47 - "If the electron is a wave, a wave of WHAT? What is doing the waving?" How ironic that Greene actually credits the physicist (DeBroglie) who was the first to solve this puzzle, while studiously avoiding mention of the solution: Pilot Wave theory. And it's not just Greene, virtually all QM popularizers go to similar lengths to obfuscate the mathematical models that unambiguously predict QM behavior with mystifying tales of so-called wave/particle paradoxes. What they avoid telling you is this: The movements of real-world particles in 3D space are guided by positional probability waves that interact to produce interference patterns. The waves interfere because they are combined within a complex-valued abstract mathematical space rather than in real-world 3D space. This is just a mathematical model that physicists have crafted to produce highly accurate predictions of probabalistic particle movements - not an actual netherworld where spooky QM events occur. Once you understand how complex-valued math works (i.e. high school algebra), QM makes intuitive sense. It's just that you never directly observe the QM mechanisms in the real world - all you see is the effects they have on the movements of particles.
I am watching this while tripping on magic mushrooms. The second dude from the left is my favorite but this whole conversation is just fucking amazing. I love how alive it all is. 😁
the Mushrooms let you peer behind the curtain..do they not Alfwud..
Yea this musta been awesome shroomin !!!
Boy, I so wish I was in the universe where the editor cut out the dancing.
Funny the u in that prolly commented wanting dancing point cant please anyone lol
Absolutely super conversation, without much details but sometimes quite good.
if we go microscopic then I can't help but think about the texture of the inner edges of the "slits" and if ricochets are taken into account. If the electrons are bouncing off of the inner edges of the slits, and how rough the edges are of those slits, if microscopically they are layered and similar in each slit, then the ricochets from both would have a pattern that I imagine would result in something similar.
David Albert sounds alot like Terrance McKenna in my opinion
Just shut up and calculate principal ~ I fell backward 😂😂
What's funny is I thought of this initially as pilot waves (pilot wave theory before I knew that was a thing) watching this I had the thought what if these electrons are actually being guided by dark energy waves? I know this is settled science or as settled as science can actually be and is way above my limited knowledge of physics but it is fun to think about. The quantum world so weird, whacky and completely amazing at the same time.
Thanos Closes Hand - ... You're not the only ones cursed with knowledge.
I could listen to them all day long, I can’t wrap up such a talk and say that we don’t have much time.
If you get into the Quantum Sleeper, Do you die when it closes, or when it opens? By the Way +Brian Greene, is one of my favorate educators and a hero to me!
When the realization of connectivity is relevant to reality by the frequency at which things exist (molecular vibration), we can understand the basic idea that "Everything Is Everything Else" and exists in harmony with the dimension it is created in. And, in so doing, we can accept it as truth, our reality is a series of vibrational frequencies.
Y'all remember in Like preschool / kindergarten how we were handed around the so-called solid blocks/shapes? There's a lot of weird stuff going on in early elementary
by the end of the video my head really did feel like it was entangled and spinning both left and right at the same time, omg quantum is real
Aaaaaaargh you kidding me?! You owe me a brain. Mine ran off halfway through
i fall asleep to these type of videos in hopes subconsciously it makes me smarter
I will suggest another possibility regarding the wave behavior of the electron. It will simpler if you accept that the universe tissue (space-time) fluctuates at a such low energy level that affects only subatomic particles. So these particles are driven by these fluctuations to specific places.
I'm slightly confused as to how the double slit experiment depicted is a good design for this type of measurement... If you're talking about a particle the size of an electron then won't it be impacted by any phenomena (electromagnetic or otherwise) associated with a particle of equal or greater size? In other words, if the electron is traveling through the air then it's colliding with atoms, or parts thereof, of Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc. In turn, I would suspect this would throw off the trajectory of the electron from the 'electron gun'. So, let's say the experiment is in a vacuum... Still, the double slits are etched out of some physical material... Unless that physical material is kept at absolute zero - isn't it possible the sub-atomic particles of that material could somehow interfere with the electron passing through its slits? I guess my overall question is: How do Physicists know that the electron, in a single-electron approach, in a double slit experiment, isn't influenced by ANYTHING else?
They must have found some way to eliminate other obstacles since, no matter how many times they do the experiment, the same patterns are always formed. Just my guess.
but that doesnt explain how the particles know BEFOREHAND. They did the experiment countless times with same results so thats why they're intrigued. If the material really did interfere, then the results of the experiment would be different everytime instead of the same wave-particle duality when observed/unoberved, since interference of sub-atomic particles are really random more than anything else; which is what quantum physics attempts to define: the probability of these and hence the field was born.
But if it's just electrons randomly getting thrown off by particles, you'd just get a randomised pattern after the slits. It's not a random pattern that emerges though, it's specifically a wave interference pattern, no matter the conditions. So the electrons, even individual electrons, act specifically like a wave, not just randomly.
Well I think is because they look at the pattern not where exactly the electrons will show on the plate and thats not the purpose anyhow, they're astonishingly small quantities. They overlook some facts just like in Newtonian physics:They dont reckon some calculations, because they dont really matter as we get some rough results that are functional still, of the experiments we do.
What you saud here is excellent u will add that in such an experimental instance how acurate the particle is or can be fired is vital for instance a twenty teo caliber vullet grom the barrel of a thirty eight caliber gun will find itself on a meariad of trajectory. So what is the guns accuracy it must ve accuratw enough to make the slit but the morw accurate it is the less wave pattern will apear as eaxh particle travels a more determinable path with out interferience by the barrier. Also us the barriar as thin a the particle of projection? If not your going to have shots that glance of the sides of the slit and the general dirextio depends on the i terferience with the slit at that time light (photons)absorbe into material producing our visual world so good luck with the experiments boys but your gonna have to do something better than that for oir nobel because your burnt
