Spinoza's Enlightenment: How Political Turmoil Shaped a Philosopher
This video is dedicated to the beloved Mr. Ward.
In this lecture, we journey through the life and mind of Baruch Spinoza, the Dutch philosopher of the 17th century. The tumultuous political climate of the Dutch Republic during Spinoza's lifetime, marked by religious conflicts, censorship, and the struggle for political stability, influenced his philosophical ideas, leading to the development of a secular perspective on ethics, freedom, and the relationship between the individual and the state in his philosophical works. This lecture focuses on how this has occurred by analyzing political events occurring in his age and taking a deeper look into his philosophical methodologies.

Proof of the Pauli exclusion principle. -Quantum Mechanics.
Просмотров 16 тыс.3 года назад
The Pauli exclusion principle is the quantum mechanical principle which states that two or more identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously. In this lecture video, we have talked about the proof of the Pauli exclusion principle by using quantum mechanics and basic logic.

    I feel like this is an oversimplification tho. If I measure the spin of an electron vertically, then I know what it is. If I measure it horizontally then I know the horizontal spin but I no longer know the vertical spin. It is the potential for something to be in either state that is weird, especially since we can add or remove information from the system, changing those potentials over time. It's weird because that is impossible to have an intuition about and it doesn't act like anything we observe on the macro level. It does kinda look like magic.

    Fermions satisfy the Pauli Exclusion Principle because fermion identical particle wave functions combine antisymmetrically. And they are antisymmetric because they satisfy the Pauli Exclusion Principle. (ie - a tautology). Bosons do not satisfy the Pauli Exclusion Principle and they have symmetric wave functions. And um... we don't know WHY -- that is just the way the universe works. It is an assumption (sort of like an axiom in mathematics) and no proof is needed because -- it works and is consistent with what we observe in nature. It is turtles all the way down.

    Western philosophy is actually what destroyed the empire by subverting the core principals it was found upon. Such as inter-racial brotherhood based on union in faith, allowing rule only to those strong enough to obtain it, and accumulating wealth and territory against rivals. These were replaced by nationalism, linear succession, and the sacrifice of territory in favor of shorter Frontlines . Rendering the empire vulnerable and leading to its eventual demise.

    • @Semispecula
      @Semispecula Год назад

      Observation in quantum mechanics does not really have a well-defined physical meaning, but it is more philosophical. The collapse of the wave-function is a mathematical description of the outcome of the measurement and does not imply any physical action on the part of the observer. I get the question about the dimensions however the concept of dimensions is typically used in the context of spacetime and does not really have a direct connection to the wave-function itself. These are lovely questions though! I hope my answer was helpful to you.

      ​@@Semispecula I just keep hearing about how there is no local reality and when we observe something we change its state of being. I guess this is all within the limited perception of our minds and senses. Maybe the object or matter is never really changing. It only changes within our minds. So then the universe is looking in on itself while constructing a simulation of itself? I know this is all just philosophical and we may never know the answer to consciousness. And I guess you're saying that the quantum wave function is beyond the idea of dimensions? Does it just permeate beyond time?

    • @Semispecula
      @Semispecula Год назад

      Hello Pritam, let me try to answer two of your questions. 1) When you flip the labels of two particles, such as changing "ab" to "ba", the wave function of the system changes in a predictable way. In the case of fermions, electrons for example, the wave function must change sign when we swap two particles. This is because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously as I mention in the video. To see why swapping two fermions requires a sign change in the wave function, think it this way; consider a two-particle system with wave function ψ(ab), where "a" and "b" represent the positions of the two particles. Swapping the labels of the particles changes the wave function to ψ(ba). The wave function must be antisymmetric with respect to particle exchange, which means that ψ(ab) = -ψ(ba) This makes sure that the probability density remains unchanged under particle exchange. 2) When two electrons are in the same position, the wave function must be antisymmetric due to the Pauli exclusion principle that I explained in the video. Since the total spin of two electrons is always either zero or one, the wave function must be antisymmetric in both cases. This means that the wave function must be zero when the two electrons are in the same position. However, an electron and a positron can have a symmetric wave function if their spins combine to form a total spin of zero. What I mean is that the wave function can be non-zero when the electron and positron are in the same position, as long as their spins are in the correct configuration. I hope it helps! Have a great day.

    A well done video, like most of your collection, thanks for the great content. I do want to point out that essentially you have promoted the quantum bayesianism interpretation (which is quite good, but still weird) to be epistemically equal to the experimental data. The Stern-Gerlach experiment is not the weirdest result of quantum mechanics by far, and I do not see how quantum bayesianism makes the Elizur-Vaidman Bomb experiment more intuitive.

    • @Semispecula
      @Semispecula 2 года назад

      Thank you for your encouraging comment Ido. Yes, Stern-Gerlach is not essentially weird as an experiment as it is mainly concerning for spin of an electron. What has been said it is "weird" is the superposition state of electrons, the collapse of the wave function and other phenomena which arise as the person excludes the effects of a personal observation and measurement from a system, and believes that the mathematical functions 'define' the system. The probabilities ascribed to the results of measurements are not the system's objective attributes; rather, they represent the observer's subjective perspective. This shows that in the context of the Elitzur-Vaidman experiment like you have pointed out, the odds of the bomb being in a certain box are dictated directly by the observer's prior information and method of measurement rather than the state of the system itself and itself alone. So the main point is that the importance of the observer's knowledge and decisions in affecting the outcome rather than thinking that the condition of the system only affects the result makes the Elitzur-Vaidman experiment results more understandable with this interpretation. Hope that it answered your question, thank you!
