@@dakotaa.7100 wow I'm surprised I've been looking at several videos over the past weeks and this is by far the best, consider yourself lucky to have found it randomly. Whereas I have been searching for a video like this for quite some time.

Heisenberg and Schrödinger get pulled over for speeding. The cop asks Heisenberg "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but we know exactly where we are!" The officer looks at him confused and says "you were going 108 miles per hour!" Heisenberg throws his arms up and cries, "Great! Now we're lost!" The officer looks over the car and asks Schrödinger if the two men have anything in the trunk. "A cat," Schrödinger replies. The cop opens the trunk and yells "Hey! This cat is dead." Schrödinger angrily replies, "Well he is now." EDIT : I've also started a science channel about everyday's common phenomenons.
You're not dumb, it's just that the video isn't that good at explaining quantum physics. It should have stopped around the 5:10 mark and then use the remaining time to make sure the audiences fully grasped just the idea that what we understand to be just these tiny particles might actually be something else entirely. That's already a ton to swallow but the video keeps on going. Seriously, has anyone who never studied QPh actually followed it all the way through? I've seen it happen many times before: someone who's well familiar with the topic begins an introductory video in a very user-friendly manner but within the matter of minutes he completely loses the notion of teaching the uninitiated. He answers questions the audiences didn't even think to ask ("We don't care if it's called superposition, we don't even understand what the damn phenomenon is supposed to be, I mean, is it like atomic binding or something...?) but doesn't answer those they would in fact pose ("Wait, if the electron can either be here or there, why would we say it might be at two places at the same time? It's clearly just at one!").
The fact that you watched this video shows that you crave intelligence and have a passion for learning. Therefore, you’re not dumb. Dumb are those who think they are intelligent and don’t want to learn anything more than they already know.

Let me explain Quantum Physics. Imagine a person dancing in your peripheral vision, they dance and keep dancing but when you finally look at them they are still as a statue.
It should be noted that for tunneling, a "barrier" doesn't necessarily mean a wall. Some people may be thinking of the walls in their house. What it means instead is a potential barrier. In other words, a voltage potential difference, or a different energy state.
Which doesn't differ much from the walls in your house. Isn't it just a bunch of atoms in solid state that would repel anything else approaching with electromagnetic force? How is a potential barrier different? Same interaction type, same force, so a valid analogy.
@@armpap1 No. That is a completely different approach that includes a proton and screening effects. That's not applicable to understanding the basic 1D model of tunneling. Check out the exchange above. The creator of the video has a PhD in Physics and I'm currently working on my PhD. Now, we could look at atoms for tunneling INSIDE the atom. But, it has nothing to do with an actual wall.
Thank you. That was an excellent presentation. I'm a retired Physics teacher and have been incredibly frustrated that I could never get my head around quantum mechanics enough to explain to my A level students. I can now finally forgive myself!! Thanks again

But regardless of the flavor, such models at large seem to connect the most dots(by FAR), from BOTH classical physics & QM. & I'd say it is TRUE that the rather simple concept of "rendering" is a MUCH more "sensible"(NOT that it has to be) explanation of the measurement problem than say an infinite # of imaginary universes(but at least they're "physical" or would be if it wasn't so absurd)lol. One perceived "issue" is that without specific mechanisms and/or something else to back that aspect up, it really doesn't say much more than "the Copenhagen" as is. & Ironically(sort of) if true, not being able to say much about the rendering process, is exactly how it would have to be. We need to explore the hell out of such ideas. It's definitely gained(& still is) considerable momentum over the past decade or so. Its like clearly a solid kernel/shell of an actual TOE to fans & simultaneously like an ultimate conspiracy theory to non fans.
@@domainofscience Scientist found a mathematical model that fits the behavior to a very high degree. But they(we) don't really understand how or why it behaves the way it does. Especially in any intuitive way that can be explained by a simple analogy. fair?
Wow! I'm extremely impressed with what you fit in to a video that's less than 13 minutes long! This might just be the best ever overview of quantum physics over such a short span of time! And I also like that you made things easy to understand while also giving us lots of great information!
Physics has always been a distant mystery for me but I really love this channel, as well as Minute Physics, and I've learned so much. That said, Quantum Physics can seem to be what Science would be if it could take hallucinogenics. So I really appreciate your honest and realistic perspective on the subject. Thanks for all the great material!
You only think you have "one" car but, obviously, you have "two" with one driving forward and one driving backward at the same time. ... You also have a past and a future at the same time.
The movement of the particle (any particle) moves around like a wave. Just like a molecule of H20 moves around in the ocean or lake, like a wave. Taken together, the particles move together in waves. If we stop a particle while it is jumping all around and ask it "where are you now" it gives us an answer we call measurement because we measured EXACTLY where it is this instant. But it keeps moving, so the probability is that it is probably here or there or somewhere at any given moment in time. It's the same with Waldo, in where is Waldo. We can certainly predict Waldo will need to use the restroom. So the probability of catching Waldo in the loo is pretty high, compared to other places.
Finally a proper explanation! The canonical uncertainty principle is, at its heart, a statement about wave mechanics, not quantum mechanics, and you’ve shown that here. But then you consider stuff like different spin components and it gets weird!
I have read several books which attempt to explain quantum mechanics, but until watching this I have never gained a more clear understanding of the concepts. The description of the uncertainty principle I thought was particularly concise and easy to understand. Bravo!
After spending all morning reading different articles and finally getting to grips with the ideas quantum physics puts forward, this video was the perfect way to summarise everything I've learned and put it into objectively understandable terms. Great work, thanks! My brain feels bigger today

@@domainofscience How do they "observe" which slit the electron goes through? i know its with a measuring device, but what exactly does that entail? is it a stream of photons going past the slit or something and you just measure when there is a break in the stream to determine which slit it went through? Also how do we send just 1 electron through the double slit experiment, when ever they say that, they always show a laser beam, which i imagine would be many many electrons in a stream, or do they send a pulse or sumut? I was thinking perhaps, electrons travel as a wave but then collapse to a particle when they touch something, however i found an error in that thinking, because if that were true, the wave should collapse when it touches the double slits. I would appreciate any input and thanks for the video. Also others feel free to add your input.
OMG i finally understand the linked particles thing !!!! Sometimes explaining it a little more in detail help people understand! thank you so much. Even though it is very simple I known
This actually did help demystify it! Most analogies out there make it sound like pure magic, but the analogy of waves from a pebble thrown in water + the insights on how measurements are done and what models are used help understand what quantum physics is actually about
I think, there are two reasons, why quantum mechanics is hard to unterstand: 1. The underlying math is quite complicated. For the basic concepts of classical mechanics like velocity and acceleration you only need basic calculus, with is taught at school. But the fundamentals of quantum physics involves much more math, like complex analysis and Hilbert spaces. In order to understand something like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle from the mathematical point of view, you must be at least be familiar with the Fourier transformation. 2. Quantum mechanics is counterintuitive. The concepts of classical mechanics are closely linked to our everyday experience. The orbital motion of the moon around the earth and the trajectory of an arrow are two aspects of the same thing. But in quantum mechanics we have to abandon intuitive classical concepts like the trajectory and have to replace them with abstract mathematical things like the wave function. Quantum mechanics questions our concept of reality. Physical quantities can be in a state of superposition, so that they are strictly speaking undefined before the measurement. By measuring this physical quantitity, the state of the system is irreversibly changed, simply because of the presence of this information. But without an idea what really going on at a measurement, it is difficult to get an intuitive understanding how quantum mechanics works. The solution, perhaps, is to approach quantum mechanics from a completely different angle than described in most textbooks. Instead of a particle in a potential well, one can consider an even simpler system: the qubit. A single qubit can illustrate the concept of superposition. With two qubits you get already entanglement. By learning how quantum computers work one can get an understanding about quantum mechanics even without advanced math. So, the real benefit of quantum computers could be that we use them to better understand quantum mechanics.
I sometimes find myself wondering what math is more difficult, that of theory of Relativity or that of quantum mechanics. I usually end up concluding the latter is more complicated... for differential geometry is all about geometry!
You seem like you now where you are talking about. Which books would you recommend for a rigorous foundation of quantum. I wanted to try landau and lifshitz 3 volume after have a good basis of GR. Do you have other suggestions?
@@David-km2ie I own a copy of the Landau-Lifshitz myself and know from experience that learning from this book can be very hard. He explains many things without explicit mathematical calculation, so that much is left to the reader and you have to actively participate. But if you have worked through the entire book, then you probably have mastered quantum mechanics. (But I can only guess, because I never finished it.) If this is not your preferred learning method, then there are alternatives, such as the Cohen-Tannoudji, which I think is a bit more pedagogical.
@@User-jr7vf It depends how serious you want get into the theory. In principal, even good old Newtonian mechanics gets complicated if it comes to non-linear systems. However, the fundamentals of classical mechanics and special relativity can be illustrated quite nicely without math by thought experiment. But these thought experiments relies on our common sense and our intuition, which fails at unterstanding quantum mechanics. It think, since we are left in the quantum world without the guidance by our intuition, the math appears much more complicated.
I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with qubit for it to help me understand better, but thanks anyway for the tip, I'll try and find more info on the qubit.
Had a dream I should look up quantum physics, I never really got into science or math. I’m a mainly history guy but I find this video and found it fascinating.
Me too, I love to learn science especially in physics. Indeed, grades doesn't define your intelligence, even Einstein himself hates school because it is stupid
and use big words... wrapped in bacon and baloney , topped with lots of spam... served with a bottomless side of insult!! and no, i dont mean Gordon Ramsay... just Quantum Crap...
I want to compliment you for the best explanation I've ever seen for non-experts like me. I could go a step further grabbing fundamental concepts about the matter, also thanks to the clarity, apt analogies and balance between simplicity and details. Many compliments!
I’ve just watched this with my 8 year old who has been asking me lots of questions about quantum physics having watched Antman. A bit technical for him just yet, but I learned something! Thanks!
Thank for explaining all of the questions I needed… I actually tested this double slit experiment and got an interference pattern. Very cool. Nice video, the drawings make it easy to understand
I play guitar and am very passionate about audio engineering. I also worked as a general contractor with good knowledge in electrical. Applying both my sound wave knowledge and electrical current knowledge. This actually all made so much sense and was so fun to learn, I am looking at going back to school. I truly have to thank you. This was life changing.
Yes exactly! Using analogies is almost condescending and can be demotivating to someone who has, all of a sudden, lost track because the anology is off topic and distracting. Straight knowledge can be revised without confusion and is the ultimate goal of learning. Love this explanation and I'm even confident enough to use this video to educate the older members of my family :D thank you.
Entangled Particles are connected to each other in a fifth dimension of consciousness .The fifth dimension is not constrained to “ C”,só the particles react instantaneously. This existence of this fifth dimension also explains the measurement problem. The universe is “aware” you are trying to detect it.
Because we didn't actually learn anything form this. It's just labels and a few glossed over concepts not grounded in any kind of understanding. Pretend to teach it back to your duck and see. It's a neat demo, anyway.
@@Les537 wrong for laymen/women like myself. We learned that everything is a wave until we measure it. Then it becomes a particle and the fabric we call real/ity. A blind person lives in a dark universe until they measure the waves with their ears, hands, feet, mouth, and emotions. All measuring devices to turn waves into objects. We just have an additional measuring tool called eyes. Every wave has potential to be... some>thing.
This is the most intuitive explanation of quantum physics that I have seen. I've been been thinking about "a wave & a particle at the same time" completely wrong this entire time
The choices you made in simplifying this are excellent. There seems to be a growing awareness amongst quantum physics teachers that the typical introductory analogies are causing more confusion than anything else. You've even managed to effortlessly explain the measurement problem in an introduction, in a way that would make anyone nod in agreement.
i’m only 14 but honestly i want to know more. like it’s so interesting to me. my brain hurt bc i watched like 5 other videos today but it’s so worth it. it genuinely makes me want to study this type of stuff in college.
I wish I was interested in this stuff when I was your age, I regret going through school just barely scraping by, studying only enough so I get a pass and then forgeting most of it, and the world is so interesting, sigh... Thinking back on school, there is not one subject that is inherently boring.
Good on you. don't give up, challenge yourself, and you will go far in life, great to see women taking an interest in science, I'm still freaked out by the twin slit experiment, how do the atoms know we are watching them??
Man, I watched many lectures and videos on QM and this is probably the most lucid and helpful explanation of QM. Mucho gracias. Do one on Special and General Relativity and other concepts in general relativity please!
Wow, the whole thing with electrons jumping makes sense and completely explains what's going on with lighting strikes and other sources of extreme light. Basically, what makes light, actually light in a visual way. Definitely interested in learning more about this
Great video! I watch a lot of physics videos on RUclips and am currently studying physics but I have to say this was the best video for helping understand the basics of quantum mechanics I've seen yet. Some of your explanations really helped me understand the concepts and helped visualize everything better. Great job on this video in particular but your channel is definitely a new favorite of mine. Keep up the great content!
Great video. I'm glad he explained it plainly without metaphors. Most people "explaining" quantum physics immediately go "imagine you have a fried egg" or some crap like that which just makes it more confusing and probably means they don't really know what they're talking about.
Wow, you made this SO MUCH simpler. I am with CS background and have been banging my head on the table reading some physics papers to understand these concepts and I finally get them now! You have no idea how much you have helped me and my poor advisor who has no idea about these stuff too :D Thanks, mate!
quantum physics is part of our curriculum for next year so I really enjoyed looking into it ahead of time with this video! wish me luck for next year, i'm still going to need a lot of that
What i understand is that everything in the universe is at every location and so is time. The PAST, THE PRESENT AND FUTURE ARE JUST OUR way of explaining events. Time is an abstract entity . There is only ONE time. There is only ONE of everything. Zero and infinity are concepts. Both are SAME. Wish you a happy UNITY.
Time isn't exactly just a man made construct.....It's a consequence of entropy and exists regardless of whether we named it or not.....Time is like maths....We didn't invent it......We discovered it.....Time is an integral part of the universe :-) .....But I also get what ya saying about it being everywhere and nowhere all at the same "time" and being relatively meaningless in the quantum realm......Just another bizarre duality of the universe I suppose :-)
I think it's that time gives meaning to matter. By freezing time you know the exact location something is in at an exact moment, but you have no clue what it's doing. Time has to exist for stuff to move because movement is just the change of position of matter over a time frame. It's like a graph where time is the independent variable. So knowing it's location is pointless without knowing what it's doing, and knowing what it's doing is impossible without time. But by allowing for time we lose it's location because we cannot get velocity (average change in position over time) with knowing more than one location of that thing. Time has to exist for motion to exist, and in order to measure motion we need more than one data point of an object at different times.
Russell Reilly I would not say time is a discovery same can be said for math from my point of view all of this in our universe is just our understanding and comprehension, math was not discovered rather just made up for us to do our best to understand everything in the universe while with science it’s all facts, confusing facts sure but there still facts, math is not facts rather our best to understand a bigger picture or to put all of this more simply, our understanding of cells and the human body is facts while math is just us trying to understand 2+2 isn’t really real is more us trying to understand something so math at the end of the day is us attempting to understand things like time and years and anything that we have integrated numbers into
6:36 "But it turns out you can't actually use this for communication since the measurements give you random results" Hmmm... 1. Entangle batches of subatomic particles. 2. Number the batches 1 -> n. Each n will be comprised of a pair of entangled batches 3. Give one of each pair to the two parties looking to communicate. 4. When one wishes to send a message to the other, they perform the double-slit experiment. i. The language is binary {0, 1}. ii. To create a zero, a batch is subjected to the double slit as per usual, creating interference. iii. For a one, a "which way" device is attached to the experimental setup, collapsing the wave. No interference. iv. This is done in the numbered sequence of batches. 5. To read the message, the other side performs the exact same experiment simultaneously(?) 6. They will see a sequence of interference or normal particle motion. 7. Convert that sequence to 0s and 1s according step 4. 8. ???? 9. Profit? Least efficient quantum communication you've ever... but you do have it
Well here's the problem You can't actually determine what's normal particle motion for an electron. It's always probabilistic. And you can't measure much for an electron with high precision other than it's spin ( Angular momentum) which is +½ or -½ and this is random. You can't get all +½ electrons or -½ electrons. It depends upon how you measure it and the spin can itself change upon measurements. Check this video by Veritaseum : ruclips.net/video/ZuvK-od647c/видео.html
Thank you very much! It is great to see it explained without analogies, I get tired of seeing it compared to water waves when we know it is nothing like a water wave, it is just confusing and a bit condescending to see it explained with invalid analogies. I much prefer the straight-ahead explanation given here, it is much clearer and not cluttered with misleading analogy.
Yeah but its better to have it go over your head than to dedicate your entire life to it and still have it go over your head. You basically just speed-ran quantum physics.
I really appreciate your videos! My big brother is studying physics and I find it incredibly interesting, but I fail to understand the things he talks about from time to time. I study mechanical engineering, and I am only taught Newtonian physics, so I go to RUclips to get answers for my questions when my brother is busy :D thanks again!
I have been following the Quantum Theory for some time. It has been confusing and complicated. To the final conclusion that we create our own reality when we focus on it. Now with this explanation it comes much more clearer the amplitude of all, as of now, that entails the understanding of our Universe. It seems that we have not develop the proper language to explain it completely yet...I look forward to continue learning about it. Thank you for your explanation.
Thats an interesting point Ismael! i work in mental health and read an article recently about how language shapes our understanding of things, and sometimes children (and Adults) cannot make sense of their feelings on the grounds they simply lack the the language to describe it. Language or linguistics is hugely impotant to humans, maybe even in quatumn mechanics.....who knows!
My brain is only thinking about immediate communication....and teleportation...but teleportation basically opens the gate to time travelling....which is better left alone....

They seemed to have changed the meaning. I knew it to be the smallest amount needed to produce the effect - now it just seems to mean some mystical phenomena.

He answers questions the audiences didn't even think to ask ("We don't care if it's called superposition, we don't even understand what the damn phenomenon is supposed to be, I mean, is it like atomic binding or something...?) but doesn't answer those they would in fact pose ("Wait, if the electron can either be here or there, why would we say it might be at two places at the same time? It's clearly just at one!").
The fact that you watched this video shows that you crave intelligence and have a passion for learning. Therefore, you’re not dumb. Dumb are those who think they are intelligent and don’t want to learn anything more than they already know.

It should be noted that for tunneling, a "barrier" doesn't necessarily mean a wall. Some people may be thinking of the walls in their house. What it means instead is a potential barrier. In other words, a voltage potential difference, or a different energy state.
Yes, excellent point. I was thinking of explaining this in the video, but it didn't make the cut.
But in microprocessor there in actually a wall . What's your take on that?
@@shrivatsakulkarni9282 That's not how that works. Look up Fermi levels.
Which doesn't differ much from the walls in your house. Isn't it just a bunch of atoms in solid state that would repel anything else approaching with electromagnetic force? How is a potential barrier different? Same interaction type, same force, so a valid analogy.
@@armpap1 No. That is a completely different approach that includes a proton and screening effects. That's not applicable to understanding the basic 1D model of tunneling.
Check out the exchange above. The creator of the video has a PhD in Physics and I'm currently working on my PhD.
Now, we could look at atoms for tunneling INSIDE the atom. But, it has nothing to do with an actual wall.

The movement of the particle (any particle) moves around like a wave. Just like a molecule of H20 moves around in the ocean or lake, like a wave. Taken together, the particles move together in waves. If we stop a particle while it is jumping all around and ask it "where are you now" it gives us an answer we call measurement because we measured EXACTLY where it is this instant. But it keeps moving, so the probability is that it is probably here or there or somewhere at any given moment in time. It's the same with Waldo, in where is Waldo. We can certainly predict Waldo will need to use the restroom. So the probability of catching Waldo in the loo is pretty high, compared to other places.
The Heisenberg uncertainity principle was wonderfully explained!!!
True. I'd always known what the uncertainty was but never had the intuitive understanding of the uncertainty. Great explanation indeed
I knew nothing and now I am a physicist
Very good introduction.
? It wasn't explained at all. Go to 3Blue1Brown for an actual explanation.
Finally a proper explanation! The canonical uncertainty principle is, at its heart, a statement about wave mechanics, not quantum mechanics, and you’ve shown that here.
But then you consider stuff like different spin components and it gets weird!
Yes but doesn't entanglement provide a way to measure one wave and know the properties of the other entangled wave?

@@domainofscience
How do they "observe" which slit the electron goes through? i know its with a measuring device, but what exactly does that entail? is it a stream of photons going past the slit or something and you just measure when there is a break in the stream to determine which slit it went through?
Also how do we send just 1 electron through the double slit experiment, when ever they say that, they always show a laser beam, which i imagine would be many many electrons in a stream, or do they send a pulse or sumut?
I was thinking perhaps, electrons travel as a wave but then collapse to a particle when they touch something, however i found an error in that thinking, because if that were true, the wave should collapse when it touches the double slits.
I would appreciate any input and thanks for the video. Also others feel free to add your input.
OMG i finally understand the linked particles thing !!!! Sometimes explaining it a little more in detail help people understand! thank you so much. Even though it is very simple I known
This actually did help demystify it! Most analogies out there make it sound like pure magic, but the analogy of waves from a pebble thrown in water + the insights on how measurements are done and what models are used help understand what quantum physics is actually about
It still feels like magic though
I think, there are two reasons, why quantum mechanics is hard to unterstand:
1. The underlying math is quite complicated. For the basic concepts of classical mechanics like velocity and acceleration you only need basic calculus, with is taught at school. But the fundamentals of quantum physics involves much more math, like complex analysis and Hilbert spaces. In order to understand something like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle from the mathematical point of view, you must be at least be familiar with the Fourier transformation.
2. Quantum mechanics is counterintuitive. The concepts of classical mechanics are closely linked to our everyday experience. The orbital motion of the moon around the earth and the trajectory of an arrow are two aspects of the same thing. But in quantum mechanics we have to abandon intuitive classical concepts like the trajectory and have to replace them with abstract mathematical things like the wave function. Quantum mechanics questions our concept of reality. Physical quantities can be in a state of superposition, so that they are strictly speaking undefined before the measurement. By measuring this physical quantitity, the state of the system is irreversibly changed, simply because of the presence of this information. But without an idea what really going on at a measurement, it is difficult to get an intuitive understanding how quantum mechanics works.
The solution, perhaps, is to approach quantum mechanics from a completely different angle than described in most textbooks. Instead of a particle in a potential well, one can consider an even simpler system: the qubit. A single qubit can illustrate the concept of superposition. With two qubits you get already entanglement. By learning how quantum computers work one can get an understanding about quantum mechanics even without advanced math. So, the real benefit of quantum computers could be that we use them to better understand quantum mechanics.
I sometimes find myself wondering what math is more difficult, that of theory of Relativity or that of quantum mechanics. I usually end up concluding the latter is more complicated... for differential geometry is all about geometry!
You seem like you now where you are talking about. Which books would you recommend for a rigorous foundation of quantum. I wanted to try landau and lifshitz 3 volume after have a good basis of GR. Do you have other suggestions?
@@David-km2ie I own a copy of the Landau-Lifshitz myself and know from experience that learning from this book can be very hard. He explains many things without explicit mathematical calculation, so that much is left to the reader and you have to actively participate. But if you have worked through the entire book, then you probably have mastered quantum mechanics. (But I can only guess, because I never finished it.) If this is not your preferred learning method, then there are alternatives, such as the Cohen-Tannoudji, which I think is a bit more pedagogical.
@@User-jr7vf It depends how serious you want get into the theory. In principal, even good old Newtonian mechanics gets complicated if it comes to non-linear systems. However, the fundamentals of classical mechanics and special relativity can be illustrated quite nicely without math by thought experiment. But these thought experiments relies on our common sense and our intuition, which fails at unterstanding quantum mechanics. It think, since we are left in the quantum world without the guidance by our intuition, the math appears much more complicated.
I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with qubit for it to help me understand better, but thanks anyway for the tip, I'll try and find more info on the qubit.
Came here looking for answers. Leaving with more questions :(
Probably it's that the good ;)

The choices you made in simplifying this are excellent. There seems to be a growing awareness amongst quantum physics teachers that the typical introductory analogies are causing more confusion than anything else.

What i understand is that everything in the universe is at every location and so is time. The PAST, THE PRESENT AND FUTURE ARE JUST OUR way of explaining events. Time is an abstract entity . There is only ONE time. There is only ONE of everything. Zero and infinity are concepts. Both are SAME.
Wish you a happy UNITY.
ditto
Thank you! Finally someone who gets the concept of time! 🤗
Time isn't exactly just a man made construct.....It's a consequence of entropy and exists regardless of whether we named it or not.....Time is like maths....We didn't invent it......We discovered it.....Time is an integral part of the universe :-) .....But I also get what ya saying about it being everywhere and nowhere all at the same "time" and being relatively meaningless in the quantum realm......Just another bizarre duality of the universe I suppose :-)
I think it's that time gives meaning to matter. By freezing time you know the exact location something is in at an exact moment, but you have no clue what it's doing. Time has to exist for stuff to move because movement is just the change of position of matter over a time frame. It's like a graph where time is the independent variable.
So knowing it's location is pointless without knowing what it's doing, and knowing what it's doing is impossible without time. But by allowing for time we lose it's location because we cannot get velocity (average change in position over time) with knowing more than one location of that thing. Time has to exist for motion to exist, and in order to measure motion we need more than one data point of an object at different times.
Russell Reilly I would not say time is a discovery same can be said for math from my point of view all of this in our universe is just our understanding and comprehension, math was not discovered rather just made up for us to do our best to understand everything in the universe while with science it’s all facts, confusing facts sure but there still facts, math is not facts rather our best to understand a bigger picture or to put all of this more simply, our understanding of cells and the human body is facts while math is just us trying to understand 2+2 isn’t really real is more us trying to understand something so math at the end of the day is us attempting to understand things like time and years and anything that we have integrated numbers into
6:36 "But it turns out you can't actually use this for communication since the measurements give you random results"
Hmmm...
1. Entangle batches of subatomic particles.
2. Number the batches 1 -> n. Each n will be comprised of a pair of entangled batches
3. Give one of each pair to the two parties looking to communicate.
4. When one wishes to send a message to the other, they perform the double-slit experiment.
i. The language is binary {0, 1}.
ii. To create a zero, a batch is subjected to the double slit as per usual, creating interference.
iii. For a one, a "which way" device is attached to the experimental setup, collapsing the wave. No interference.
iv. This is done in the numbered sequence of batches.
5. To read the message, the other side performs the exact same experiment simultaneously(?)
6. They will see a sequence of interference or normal particle motion.
7. Convert that sequence to 0s and 1s according step 4.
8. ????
9. Profit?
Least efficient quantum communication you've ever... but you do have it
Well here's the problem
You can't actually determine what's normal particle motion for an electron. It's always probabilistic. And you can't measure much for an electron with high precision other than it's spin ( Angular momentum) which is +½ or -½ and this is random. You can't get all +½ electrons or -½ electrons. It depends upon how you measure it and the spin can itself change upon measurements.

Go ahead and edit this again.
Think, primary school grammar...
Lol me but for physics
how did you know? lol
Why is this so relatable? 😂😂😂
This is literally me right now. I have a microbio final tomorrow and its 2 am xD
Thanks for a really clear explanation. I've combined this with watching History Of The Universe channel, to scratch my astrophysics itch
This goes way over my head I’ll stick to my day job 😂😂😂
Yeah but its better to have it go over your head than to dedicate your entire life to it and still have it go over your head. You basically just speed-ran quantum physics.
Ooo you are already a master in quantize it, nice
I'm gonna learn this.

Black Widow!
Good listener
I understood that reference.
I really appreciate your videos!
My big brother is studying physics and I find it incredibly interesting, but I fail to understand the things he talks about from time to time.
I study mechanical engineering, and I am only taught Newtonian physics, so I go to RUclips to get answers for my questions when my brother is busy :D
thanks again!
Quantum finds explanations in physics, religion, chemistry, biology. In an infinite dialogue that generates matter
I have been following the Quantum Theory for some time. It has been confusing and complicated. To the final conclusion that we create our own reality when we focus on it. Now with this explanation it comes much more clearer the amplitude of all, as of now, that entails the understanding of our Universe. It seems that we have not develop the proper language to explain it completely yet...I look forward to continue learning about it. Thank you for your explanation.
Ismael Sanantonioperez nice
You are great 👍
Thats an interesting point Ismael! i work in mental health and read an article recently about how language shapes our understanding of things, and sometimes children (and Adults) cannot make sense of their feelings on the grounds they simply lack the the language to describe it. Language or linguistics is hugely impotant to humans, maybe even in quatumn mechanics.....who knows!
I thoroughly enjoyed AND understood this.
And I am no physics brain.
Thanks!
*Liar, Liar pants on fire*
My brain is only thinking about immediate communication....and teleportation...but teleportation basically opens the gate to time travelling....which is better left alone....

There is no such thing as death, life is a just a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves..... here's Tom with the weather." RIP - Bill Hicks. (not a a physicist - just a brilliant comedian)
This is nice. Satire's on point. 😂
Man.... i still miss Bill.
Please keep producing. This is a great explanation video. very well done Thanks
Me: Doesn’t even know “Quantum”
Also Me: *Clicks*
Still Me: WHAT IS THIS
Me too :D
They seemed to have changed the meaning. I knew it to be the smallest amount needed to produce the effect - now it just seems to mean some mystical phenomena.
@@louf7178 You simply got a misconception, it never changed meaning, quantum phyics is the study of really small objects (particles)
Also you: stupid
Same
This is really well explained!! Easily one of the best I've come across.. and I've been trying to understand these concepts for a long time. Thank you so much :) really appreciate the work u guys have put into this..

Yes! Just a drop of water in an endless sea.

Though we refuse to see. 😁
We are spirit and soul too!!
I’m 13 and I understood about none of this but I took notes and I’m going to watch more videos I’m determined to figure whatever the hell this man just told me. I will learn wether it be in years or months or weeks I will learn.

Feynman was insane.
thats a paradox
