In this video I perform Schrodinger's cat experiment, but I actually do the experiment in real life. Except I don't use a cat, I use some fruit flies from my house. I put them in state of superposition by coupling the quantum state of radon with my vacuum chamber that turns on if there are more than 3 clicks per second in background radiation.

Hi everyone. I see a lot of comments comparing superposition to just simply not knowing a specific outcome. But it is not only that we don't know the outcome, but it HAS NO outcome until it is measured. This was proven in my previous video with polarizers showing how the photons have no polariziation until they are measured, it's not just that we don't know it.
The Action Lab I love your pronounciation on Schrödinger😂❤️
I love your videos. However, Your previous video did not prove anything about superpositioned photons (the first polarizer lets about 90% of the light through as it's darker than the white softbox screen, the second polarizer lets 100% of the light through that went through the first polarizer cuz it doesn't get darker until you change the direction. If it were superposition, you'd have some shirty electrons that refused to go through, like you 50/50 black/white testy box) but was a great way of explaining superposition, I'll probably use that :) I remember having a big discussion with my physics teacher about Schrodinger. If you listen for the drop of the bottle of poison, then without measuring the cat, you know its state (barring heart attack from something else or suffocation I guess). Or, if the detector made a ping noise... anyhow, my point is indirect measurement means that while *you* may not know what the state is, something does. I think you covered that at the end. Anyhow, in case you were wondering, I was allowed out of detention early cuz everyone loves a smartarse :)
Indeed photons are quantum objects: meaning that the measure of their polarization has no outcome until you measure it, while the Cat (or the flies) are macroscopic objects, therefore your experiment has an outcome even before you measure it.
I understand your point about superposition, but what you said about polarized light is false. There are plenty of things that emit polarized light without needing to "measure" it based on how you are using the word 'measure'.
Why is it that you sound so much like Mat from PBS Spacetime when you said *"Shut up and calculate!"* ?

This one almost falls into philosophy territory
Hyper theoretic philosophy.
Adventist superposition is not something to study if you’re dumb
Adventist Absurd doesn’t mean not real. Quantum mechanics is the only theory that is as strongly supported by science as the theory of relativity.
Adventist On a macro level it _can_ work, but the problem is that there’s so many particles in something like a human that for it to have a superposition, every single particle would need to agree on that superposition, which is incredibly unlikely. The purpose of this experiment was to take smaller particles, like electrons from a radioactive substance, which can easily be in superposition, and have their position affect fruit flies on a macro scale. He did explain in the video at the end why it didn’t really work, and even if it hadn’t had the camera and the Geiger counter there would still be photons hitting the particles and measuring them. If he did it in a very dark room, and made the radioactive substance somehow kill the fruit flies directly, it could have worked.
All chemical reactions are actually measurements and collapses of quantum states. Does chemistry involve philosophy? :)

This is basically about you not knowing if a thing is dead or not and that's the experiment
its quantum machenics ...
Crispy Memez nope, it's much more deep than that! It's about the fundamental particles, the smallest "building blocks"of atoms/matter. They belong in the quantum category. Scientists who's studied quantum mechanics since the last century know that ordinary physics rules doesn't apply to these particles at all. And they appear like they only exist as particle form, from the moment being observed or measured. Before this they seem to exist just as states of probabillity, kinda like a mathematic formula. It's very weird and similar to computer games/simulations. Like the particles only render in this world when needed. And this famous experiment used radioactive materia as a "trigger"/decision maker for activating a death trap. Radioactive materia decay over time = quantum particles being released. And before observed or measured, both scenarious are true, the radioactive materia will have decayed and triggered the death of the flies and simultaneously wont have decayed and left the flies still alive. But I think his setup of this experiment was fail bc transparent box and the measuring device.
Watch this awesome vid about the world famous "Double Slit Experiment" to understand the basics of the very mysterious nature of quantum particles: ruclips.net/video/DfPeprQ7oGc/видео.html
The only thing that confuses me about the thought experiment- since you are using a living being (the cat, or in this case the fly), doesn't that mean that the state HAS been measured? The cat would be able to tell whether or not it's dead through its consciousness. I may just be looking at this wrong, so if someone wouldn't mind explaining it to me it would be much appreciated.
Schrödinger assumes cats don't have an intelligent consciousness
Nevermind I was proven wrong. Observation has nothing to do with consciousness but rather messurement. Sort of.
This video is wrong. The flies are technically being observed by any light or particles hitting them. It does not have to be a person. The original Shrodingers cat is simply theoretical and relies on there not being anything in the box apart from a "cat" that has nothing happening inside it otherwise it would count as being observed. It is just a way of explaining it and demonstrates the difference between maths and physics and real life. I'm not hating on "The Action Lab", they make some good videos... this one is just s**t.
Except he is completely mistaken because consciousness is not required at all for a measurement. All the atoms in the air colliding with the flies and photons hitting them are "measuring" them constantly at every moment.
He did address this issue. Like he said, it depends on your interpretation of qm.
The thing I love most about quantum mechanics is stuff like how light changes how it behaves depending on observation.
is this were "curiosity killed the cat" came from
Please do more quantum mechanics videos like this! I'm an EE in my thirties, never did QM in school, so I never really had a clue about it. Your videos are finally making things understandable. Keep up the great work!
Radiation does not occur until you measure it?
It does occur. It's just that the result is ambiguous untill measued.
That means the radiation was in a super position till he measured it..
may or may not radiate until observe it
So as long as I don't measure radiation it's not harmful because it hasn't been measured and proven deadly?
Assume you know the exact number of unstable atoms in the experiment.
You can know the exact rate of decay in theory. You can know how exactly how long it will take for half of the atoms to decay, but you can never know in what chronological order each atom will decay.
This may sound intuitive and logical UNTIL you really understand that the half life of any radioactive element is a constant.
If the decay of individual atoms is random, what is to stop all of them decaying in bunches, or all at once?
For the half life to be a constant period of time, the individual atoms have to 'wait their turn' to decay, so no jumping the cue. So how does an atom 'know' when to decay?
Take two (sub-critical) quantities of the same radioactive material and put them together in a container. Providing the collective mass remains sub critical, the rate of atomic decay WILL NOT CHANGE. WTF?
You have changed the total number of atoms, the rate of decay remains the same, the half life of the material remains the same? WTF?
Its not like adding more water to a bucket of water with a hole in it.
Quantum theory is odd...

Next Video Idea : Can you physically store sound in a box or container or in anything of some sort.
Think of sound as vibrations. As long as the air particles are moving, there will be sound. So theoretically possible, but anything vibrating will pass its energy on, and eventually that energy will be transferred to the walls of its container, and then out of it.
Kowalski, analysis
@@joshuaosei5628 Making believe that the walls of the container will hold in any energy without absorbing it... would the sound vibrations' energy eventually fade away into nothing or?
If the box lies within a perfect vacuum and is levitating, yes
@@joshuaosei5628 the speed of sound is variable, counting on the material, and temperature. I think it's possible to tinker the temperature and the material so that you can delay the time it takes for the sound waves to reach the walls of the box, no idea by how much though..

Pseudo Nym Ik, I purposely said it the way I did...
It’s, ironically, insane how you can talk for 15 mins about how something is dead and alive at the same time and not be called crazy
A popular theory I like is that the state of your brain is also a quantum state and in fact, nothing is being collapsed at all when you measure; it is your brain's quantum state that is being entangled with the object's state.
So it's basically the good ol' "When a tree falls in the woods, and no one's / nothing's there to detect it, does it make a sound (and does it even actually fall)?"

"Fate was in their favor" xD
Actually Shrödinger introduced the Cat experiment in order to show how the superposition theory resulted paradoxical when applied to macro objects. Indeed the cat is dead or alive every moment before the measurement and when you open the box you just find out if it died or not, it is not you forcing the Cat to choose one state or the other. The superposition of states works just fine in quantum objects experiments like the double slit, where if you don't measure which slit the particle is passing through, it just goes through both of them.
Nice video as always, keep it up man.
My brain is in a superposition of confusion and fascination
Measure it bro
I watched this video with a fly in my room
Did you hear this fly or actually see it?
I find one of the most interesting conclusion of this thought experiment is that *I* have no idea if anything else is in a state of "non-superposition" until *I* observer it. If you observe the results of an experiment and come to tell me, then until you tell me, I can think of you as being in a state of superposition yourself (with each version having observed a different result of the experiment). The flies don't have to collapse the wave function, you don't have to collapse the wave function, but once you tell me, then and only then do I know the wave function has collapsed. But each of us can make that same claim, so we could each claim to be the one and only being who collapses all wave functions in the universe. Gotta love QM.
when you observe it the universe splits into two where in one the fly is alive and in other it's dead
that's called parallel universes
So the outcome basically decides two different storylines...?

You know, your titles are always kinda clickbaity, but your videos never fail to entertain me. So it's like, I can't even be mad.
Schrödinger's cat: Hey I'm alive...now let's test yours...
I think the 'a human must look at it to collapse the state' - interpretation at least hits the border to quantum esoterics.
There is surprisingly am indirect test of that hypothesis by a phenomenon called the quantum Zeno effect.
This is based on the fact that the probabilities for the alternative outcomes don't develop linearly, thus being the first of them overproportionally more likely than the second for some time. Observation thus kinda turns back the clock.
In radioactivity, this doesn't seem to work but rather a kind of anti-Zeno-effect is said to occur which means that the 'decayed' - state must quickly be the more likely one.
Man, your eyes are so close that they are becoming a singularity

Superposition isn’t some revolutionary theory, it’s just a bunch of smart people who won’t admit that they simply don’t know the answer.
Who remembers when action lab was hydraulic press action?
The superposition was only resolved when I watched this video, obviously. Until then the flies and the geiger counter and you and the video data bits were all in a superposition of dead vs alive flies. And of course each of us viewers resolved the superposition independently, so some of us saw you announce that the flies were alive while the others saw you say the flies were dead. In my reality your flies were alive. I hope you count the occurrences of viewers reporting dead or alive flies so we can finally get the results of this experiment.

You realize of course, that this is just a reworked version of the old adage: if a tree falls in the forest and no one's around to hear it does it make a sound
Measurement(observation or interaction) is actually just the light hitting the flies or particles colliding with them. That's why quantum mechanics is thought of as small scale. But in reality it's how well hidden you keep something so that no interaction occurs. And that happens a lot easier and more frequent in micro-scales
I like your videos in general, but this one is just wrong. Consciousness has nothing to do with the observer effect. The measurement that collapses the wave function is an interaction with the function. In order to measure something, you must interact with it. Any interaction collapses it (caveat: from the perspective of that interacting system only) and it has nothing to do with whether a consciousness is involved or not. This isn't just one of many possible interpretations but is considered the only reasonable interpretation by any serious quantum physicist, who regard any talk of "consciousness" having an influence as being pseudoscientific woo.
That is the general consensus, I agree. The point is that Von-Neumann is correct in saying that you can choose any point in the causal chain of wave function collapse. Physicists can agree on a common interpretation that doesn’t involve consciousness, but it is still unprovable. This video is not wrong...I am not advocating a specific interpretation in this video. I am advocating that you leave the realm of science if you choose an interpretation of QM.
@@TheActionLab Okay, I'll grant you that "wrong" was perhaps a little heavy handed of me, but I felt you were giving equal (or even preferred) time to the interpretations that involve consciousness (and thus a very large number of additional assumptions about the universe, in violation of Occam's razor).
I'd say you leave the realm of science any time you steadfastly advocate a single position of any kind and refuse to budge from it, but it's not out of the realm of science to say that there is an interpretation that comports to our current understanding of reality where the others do not. You always have to be open to someone presenting evidence that breaks or changes this interpretation, but it's not unscientific to consider it "correct for now" and the others "incorrect for now".
There can even be competing "correct for now" interpretations while still discounting others. A good example is gravity: it could be space being warped by mass, or it could be an exchange of gravitons. Both of these interpretations are functional and thus "correct for now", whereas "The Flying Spaghetti monster pulls things down with his blessed noodly appendages" is "incorrect for now" given it posits the FSM which is otherwise wholly unnecessary.
This whole "correct/incorrect for now" is indeed philosophy rather than science, but it's the philosophy of science, which I'd argue is required in order to even do science (science relies on the philosophy of science for things like "logic works", "mathematics is consistent", and even Occam's razor as a guiding (but not defining) principle). It would be impossible to do science in a world where 2+2 sometimes gives an answer other than 4, or where fundamental logic doesn't always follow.
In order to do science it doesn’t matter your interpretation. Math/physics does not care what you/I believe. The reason I mentioned the von Nuamann-Wigner interpretation is because it is really the only interpretation that makes sense to me. None of the other interpretations close the causal chain. Physicists use decoherence theory to explain away this problem, but in doing so they deny Dirac’s projection postulate. With the postulates of QM being what they are, it is actually the least absurd to say that consciousness causes collapse. Physicists really don’t like this though because it would mean that a conscious being is different than a non-conscious entity. Right now this is unacceptable to say in science because consciousness is one of the least understood phenomena in science (lookup “The hard problem of consciousness”). So, be hesitant calling someone a pseudoscientist if they do not agree with the majority view of QM interpretation.
+1 videos like this won't help killing the myth that consciousness has anything to do in quantum physics, the way that hippie videos often hijack the subject (& often it's in a plainly humanocentric way).
However, I think that consciousness may play a role in quantum physics, it may be what makes people prefer the Copenhagen interpretation over Everett's. Personally, I prefer Everett's because it's the most simple, and I have no problem with an infinity of parallel universes, and I don't see the need for a collapse. And I believe that perhaps the Copenhagen interpretation is generally preferred because it's more attractive to humans, because our consciousness makes us believe that there's only one path that we follow. Personally, I have no problem believing that if a measurement is made, all results are true, and for every of the results, my consciousness, which is just an illusion afterall, assumes it was "the collapsed result". But hey, I don't believe we'll ever know or understand what's really going on, I'm just going for the most simple explanation, that's why I intuitively pick Everett's.
The problem with the many worlds interpretation is it does nothing to close the causal chain either...how does the universe know when to bifurcate? If you say it knows to do it when there’s a measurement, then you still need to define a measurement. Then you get back to the same problem of consciousness...
"The entire universe that didn't actually exist in real state until conscientious being be able to absorb it" ... yea we call it "rendering texture" or "spawning" in our created IT universe :D

0:50 My only complaint of this fantastic video is that he uses a "steel cage." The cage wouldn't work because you can see what's inside. For the experiment to work, you can't see what's inside. Also a cage would allow the gas to escape, not necessarily killing the cat even if the particle decayed.
That was well presented; as are all your videos. But I came to say; Wow! Someone that really knows physics actually explained Why consciousness gets brought up in this context. That's much appreciated by me anyways.

Years ago after thinking about this for a while, the thought occurred to me...
Maybe much like a computer program, existence also has every possibility written into its “code”, but the user only uses (or experiences) the parts of the program that are executed while they are running it.
Like when i wake up, im in a superposition of staying in bed or getting up. Since both actions are possible, both are real, or written into the “code” of the universe. Both happened/are happening/will happen. If that makes sense lol.
Just the thoughts of a random layperson 😂
So suspended state until observed. AND Quantum Physics also says that observation alters what is being observed. What does it mean?
That is another problem, when working in a scale of nanometers and below. Imagine u want to measure the speed of a particle. How to measure it if even light would influence it? As soon as u measure it u alter the measurement. At example, u want to measure the speed of wind with a rotor. The wind is moving with a definite tempo, but as soon as it hits upon the rotor, it will lose it's speed, so u did't got the actual speed. Although this influence is minimal and can be ignored in the measurement of the wind, in the world of nanometers this influence makes a great impact on the results.
I hope that was understandable, english is not my native language.

Dude, it is weird, because O remember a few months ago when you only had 200,00 subscribers or so, I just realized how fast this channel has grown
It's basically a "does a tree that falls make a sound if nobody heaes it?" thing.
The tree obviously still makes a sound, but does it matter if nobody was affected by or observed it?
The fly was obviously either dead or alive, but we call it a superposition because we couldn't know which until we actually observed it. Superposition is a relative and abstract thing, and not a concrete and palpable state.
You need to watch my video in the description. Superposition is an actual state, not just “we don’t know what state it’s in”
Sound is interpreted (perceived) from compressions and decompressions of mediums typically gas, liquid, solid. If nothing was around to hear the sound, then they will only be waves of compressions and decompressions.
Not forgetting that many animals and plants sense vibration without ear drum or microphone i.e. by touch... spiders
@@TheActionLab I watched it. I don't know enough about the intricacies of quantum physics to really be able to argue with the video as I don't know how much of it is simplified.
However, sticking to Schrödinger's cat, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're saying the cat is actually in a concrete superpositional state in that box and that it's not just either dead or alive, and we just don't know it?
Upon starting the "timer" for the experiment, the cat is in a superpositional state of being neither dead nor alive, and both at the same time. After a while you open the box and the cat is then dead. But then you discover a way of replaying the cat's memories post-portem, and realize the exact point of death. Does that mean the cat was in fact never in a superpositional state to begin with, or did you effectively time-travel and change the past so that the cat was never in a superpositional state?

Teen Titans go explained this to me so I feel prepared
Same
a human is not required to collapse the wave function. We do not have a method to detect a particle's state without interacting with it (a device being able to detect it is needed). Measuring collapses the wave function by interacting with the particle
Measurement in this context does not mean measurement with a device of by an observer. It means interaction. Once a particle (e.g. a photon or an atom) interacts with the particle in superposition, a measurement is made. You'd have to keep the entire system isolated (just putting it in a box is not sufficient) to prevent measurement. This is why quantum computers are so hard to produce. You have to keep the qubits totally isolated. But this is really hard to do, and so they suffer from noise (interactions) that cause the quantum state to collapse.
You feel like a genius when you actually understand these things.
coat the inside of a bottle with never wet and fill it up
like so he can see
"Measurement" is a misnomer. The word is "interaction". And, as much as I can understand, even presence of other particles is "interaction" and therefore collapses the "interaction" clause.
Imagine just trying to find food and live a normal fruit fly’s life then you got caught into the hand of a crazy scientist and got put into a superposition
Quantum mechanics is more confusing, mysterious and interesting
@Adventist ok
I have a suggestion....
Take 2 polarizers and place them crosswise on a sheet of glass so that no photons could emit....
Then shine that 32000 lumen flash light or 5w laser drom the pther side yo see if the polarizers gets glow....
This is gonna Be cool. Try it pleaseeee!!!!!.....☺😊
It’s kinda like how the world around you doesn’t exist, unless you look at it, like when you’re not looking that way in video games or the simulation we’re living in.
8:39 Me: "Wait, doesn't that mean the whole unobserved universe is in a superposition until we look at it?"
Action Lab 2 seconds later:
WOW!!! .... Schrodinger became famous for Publicly Tormenting his flea bitten cat.
Nobody even reported him to the Humane Society for this act of cruelty. How sad!!!
You made lots of videos about blackest black but what about whitest White?

I think there are 3 possibilities here actually. You have
-The flies are dead, as the observer is an human
-The flies are alive, as the observer is an human
-Being the flies self-aware, they are the observer so they "choose" what state they are in, yet for you(the human) they are both dead and alive.So it'd depend in the observer, and for an external observer you'd have 4 states here. And when you came to the room, the superposition ended
Every time I watch your videos, when you explain something I feel like you have a pain somewhere, feel like you're tense, like you're going to cry at any time. It's not a criticism, in fact I find it funny :) and I like your channel
It wasnt dead and alive..
Check this.. lets say u put the fly in a box and measure the amount of oxygen and then u do tge experiment for 1 hour then come back and find out the fly is dead when u measure it and before that it was dead and alive at the same time then the amount of oxygen would have been almost gone completely (bcoz it was dead and alive for 1h breathing) but what u found out is the oxygen is the same amount (bcoz it was ONLY dead when u left it and it wasnt alive to breath in oxygen)
I have a serious question.. when u say an intelligent being have to measure the expirment (like the example of the universe) could that be god?
1000 vids no subscribers A better example is dropping your phone, when it’s midair from your POV it’s in a state of superpositiom, you don’t know if it’s broken until you pick it up
No, this is about the fundamental particles, the smallest "building blocks"of atoms/matter. They belong in the quantum category. Scientists who's studied quantum mechanics since the last century know that ordinary physics rules doesn't apply to these particles at all. And they appear like they only exist as particle form, from the moment being observed or measured. Before this they seem to exist just as states of probabillity, kinda like a mathematic formula. It's very weird and similar to computer games/simulations. Like the particles only render in this world when needed. And this famous experiment used radioactive materia as a "trigger"/decision maker for activating a death trap. Radioactive materia decay over time = quantum particles being released. And before observed or measured, both scenarious are true, the radioactive materia will have decayed and triggered the death of the flies and simultaneously wont have decayed and left the flies still alive. But I think his setup of this experiment was fail bc transparent box and the measuring device.Watch this awesome vid about the world famous "Double Slit Experiment" to understand the basics of the very mysterious nature of quantum particles: ruclips.net/video/DfPeprQ7oGc/видео.html
@@DaP84 then its probably always being measured bcoz the fly's state of being dead or alive affects the future and thats why we can tell what happened in the past was REAL and it did happen by the modern state of an object.. unless both circumstances were actually running at the same time and one of them disappears once they're measured.. so according to that, can we say that the universe was created in a REAL state once we discovered that? And before that it was in a superposition state?
1000 vids no subscribers it would be god so different from any idea of god we have here eight now that you probably would not call it god
Hit like those who didn't understand but watched the full video 😂
"Shut up and calculate!" My favorite quote now.
So you could say that you didn't check the results until I watched your video.

I like this video more than I normally l like your videos because of that bit of explanation in the end, which was interesting and simpler than most I've heard about this topic and you showed your face instead of your hand while talking/explaining.

The fly was observing itself and other things all the time. Conclusion: It was never in superposition.
