The quality of these videos just keep getting better and better! I've been interested (as a hobby) in cosmology more than 15 years now, and understanding the nature of our reality. I'm just starting to make sense of what you just said. Maybe I'm stupid, but for others out there who are having a hard time grasping these ideas of light as a particle AND a wave, and super-positions, and quantum-entanglement; don't sweat it. It took 10 years of watching these kind of videos to finally get my head around it. And edit lol: I don't mean I understand it. I mean I'm getting the idea BEHIND it 😂
I am on vacation now and promised my wife not to spent too much time on physics. But a Fermi Lab video of Don changes all the rules. Quantum physic, I am addicted to it. Great video!
I take a lot of time trying to train the RUclips Artifificial (un)Intelligent algorithm to not suggest sports videos. It doesn't seem to understand that despite all the time I spend on Maths and Physics vids, those are what I want.
I come into most of these videos already knowing how its going to go down. The thing I watch is the explanation and teaching style of these phenomena. Don, you are a freaking master at presenting this info. Keep up the great work on these education videos.
Thank you! A very simple, very professional and very true explanation of the double slit experiment. Surprisingly it is hard to find this in popular literature or on RUclips. Two thumbs up!
Yes, I absolutely agree! A lot of people see it as a weakness but it's actually a strength. "I dont know" is what drives the world to a better understanding instead of people inventing fast answers to fill the gap.
What do the Twistors of Roger Penrose and the Hopf Fibrations of Eric Weinstein and the "Belt Trick" of Paul Dirac have in common? It takes two complete turns to get down the "rabbit hole" (Alpha Funnel 3D--->4D) to produce one twist cycle (Quantum unit).
Please could anyone share the link for the next video he mentioned in the end regarding "pick the slit photon went through and then erase that information"

"Particle physics based on real dimensions of space-time" [Volume 09; issue 10; 2022] - arcjournals - International journal of advanced research in physical science - Open access for free download. To think, how the electrons entering the slit knows whether an observation is made on it or the detector is switched ON/OFF and change its results (pattern on the screen) accordingly, is the confusion. This even led the scientist to wonder if quantum mechanics is a future deciding factor of human life. The answer is simple, the experimentation has to include the observer such that observer is equal to observing object together undergoing one of two results at a time. One may think, it is like surrendering oneself and cease to think anymore. No, it is not so. I have published a series of papers (totally 9 nos.) on "Theory of Singularity".

There are so many accounts of the double slit one photon riddle that I was hoping for a deeper view. Your clarity is something so few are able to match so let’s get deeper into this conundrum!
it would be nice to see some further analysis and insight about this topic beyond what is typically presented in most 'layman's descriptions' of the phenomenon.
For a completely different, logical explanation of what is occurring, you can view my video, "Particle 2 Slit Experiments Explained By Paul Marostica".
@@PaulMarostica -- So many important things go unaddressed there, such suspicious methods and language, all stemming from a secret theory that you can purchase ownership of? Let's just patent "π = 3" and be done with the nonsense.
@@TlalocTemporal I find it humorous and pathetic that you're trying to twist and demean my work with no use of logic whatsoever. Good luck with your carefully thought out π = 3 theory. Bye bye.
It's obviously a high energy particle making waves in a (i'd say definitely quantised, particulate) medium that diffract and interfere, forming wave guides that extra detectors interfere with and destroy.. the particle goes through the slit it is aimed at and hits a wave guide if one exists. This is so blindly obvious I don't see what the problem is.. I'd say the particle is a permanent imbalance in the very same medium.
Great video. And I like that you split it up. Even though I have been familiar with all of what you said, for many years, it still makes my brain work overtime. Love it!
I've been pondering over this for years, since trying to, and failing to master the mathematics of physics, and it's mind-boggling, still. Great overview, though, Don. Liking the new look.
I'm still confused. How can an individual photon create an interference pattern, if it goes only through one slit? For such a pattern to emerge, doesn't it require two sources? I also don't understand the confusion about the measurement influencing the experiment. I mean, the detector is influencing the photon and altering the experiment, or not?
I'd just like to say I love how when I watch your tubes you blow my mind and then I get the misses to watch and you blow both our minds again, however I have a question for you. What are the next major events that will happen in our universe and when, I'm 53 years old this year will I see any of them or will my great great great grand children see them. Thanks
To read ahead and learn about the specifics of each different theory about "what story is the data telling us?" I recommend the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy online. The word 'philosophy' in the title is the broad sense of the word (meaning the PH in PHD).
It is the most beautiful experiment in physics and also perhaps one of the simplest of experiments to perform. Yet, the mystery keeps so many Gedankenexperimenters sleepless at nights. The more one thinks, the more one feels helplessly confused.

A wave is spread across. In a double slit experiment, if the wavefunction representing the electron, hits the slits, shouldn’t that be a measurement and shouldn’t that collapse the wavefunction? Now, you'll say it's not a physical wave, it's a probability wave. But then how does a probability wave split into two after the slits? Then, it should be like, the wave hits the slits, the electron says, dude I'm going through the slits, so don't collapse, but you can split into two and diffract. When does it decide that it's going through the slit?
Since the outcome is different between single and double slits, the slits themself are a measuring device. As in, they interact with the incoming waveform. Or rather, it interacts with the walls of the slit(s).
I think you need to explain how a detector can record the presence of a photon without affecting it. Clearly our macro level instincts about “wave” and “particle” are strained in the quantum realm. Do they break?
That bothers me too! I tried to find an explanation, without having to read a whole paper :( So any detector-device can't (shouldn't) work, right? Some glass/cristal which the photon passes through may also affect the photon. I've read a book from Anton Zeilinger and he mentions a polarization filter... That's all i have so far
So apparently a polarization filter keeps the wave 'intact'. They but a different filter before each slit. At the detector you know which slit the photon passed based on the polarization. Does it work that way? Is this the only method to detect which slit the photon passed through?
you have it backwards. it's single particle pattern when they check on which slit it goes through. and he kind of missed saying that the mind blowing thing is that when you don't detect where it goes it behaves like the particle is interfering with itself.
During Clovid19 the gym was closed and looking up star formations and the like I discovered Particle physics. The double slit, the Quantum Entanglement theory fascinating is all I can say. If I were young I would have studied a whole lot more of math and NO sports what so ever.
Optics is an interesting field. For decades the theory that got the most “press”, shall we say, was the one pushed by the most prominent scientists at the time. Having been involved designing instruments that used light primarily, I did not loose too much sleep worrying about which side was “correct”, just about which one best governed the problem at hand. Put copious amount of light on a stage, illuminate without heat the inside of a persons mouth, or measuring the size and velocity of particles exiting an aerosol can. I guess the “engineer” mindset triumphed. What is it they are called? Oh, yeah applied physicists.

Or is it that it's actually a cluster of small particles that behaves as a single large particle and a wave at the same time? Like a flock of birds. But we haven't been able to come down to that level of physics yet.
@@ehsnils I used to think that it was related to the phenomenonal rate of vibration of the source emitting the particle ie. because it's so rapid and the rate of particles being emitted, it was a series of pointlike particles being sent from the source that made it appear to be a continuous wavering line. Something like digital and analog at the same time. That's as far as I got and I've never been able to understand it since :(
When I was in school, our teacher had his own way of explaining the wave particle conundrum. He said: You can tell which room is a living room, and which one is a workroom. But you can't tell which brick is a living room brick and which a workroom brick until you put it in place.
@@SiqueScarface Good analogy does help. Bad analogy often lead to false understanding of a phenomenon and cause more damage than good. For example, when talking about gravity, people often put a large ball in the middle of a trampoline and show how other mass get fallen into the big mass due to space warped. What worse is they do this with no disclaimer nor further clarification on that it's just an analogy. That's a bad analogy. Smaller object whirl in not due to space warped but b/c we are on Earth and gravity is already there to pull it down. I felt insulted and discouraged to learn from those analogy. How do you know object path get interfered when space got warped? You can't draw a direct conclusion in gravity is a direct result of space warped.
what happens if you only cover a part of the opening with a detector? why does the "non slit" part not count as a detector? why does air not count as a detector? does a photon carry a "detection-bit" of data? does it forget that it has been observed after some time?
1. As in only one of the slits being covered by a detector, or even only part of the slits covered by the detector? The treatment is essentially decohering between the area checked by the detector and its complement. This means the state is no longer a superposition but a mixture over the propagation through the complementary areas. What this implies is that we will observe at the screen two patterns overlaid, no interference between the two patters, one resulting from the propagation from the area checked and one from the complement area. This covers all situations. You can consider 4 detectors, one for the upper half or the left slit, one for the lower part of the left slit, and likewise for the right slit, then You get 4 patterns overlaid. 2. It could. A single photon can be detected at the first screen with the slits in it, or, alternatively, at the final screen. 3. I am not sure what You mean. In relation to 4. as in carrying the information "I have been observed"? 4. I use the term measurement instead of observation to distinguish an objective evolution from a subjective update of knowledge. What happens at the slits with detectors is the evolution of the state corresponding to the interaction between the particle and the detectors (ideally establishing correlating entanglement between particle and detectors, without affecting the particle otherwise). The subsequent evolution continue from this state and in this sense it does not forget, unless specific operations are applied to reverse the process and assuming they remain practically feasible (a macroscopic detector will be environmentally decohered very quickly preventing this).

I'm really into languages and literature, not physics... But try hard to understand some here with this man. He definitely is a nice man, right? He smiles while talking rsrs so cool. Greetings from Brazil.
7:58 Doesn't QFT which the Standard Model is based on give a good explanation? Aren't electrons and photons just excitements in a field, and these excitements can be stationary ('particle') or traveling like a wave?
Actually, it must be pointed out that the pilot theory interpretation is certainly wrong, since, contrary to standard quantum theory, it is incompatible with the special theory of relativity. Also the many world interpretation is certainly wrong and inconsistent. In fact, contrary to the stated intentions, it does not solve the problem of the collapse of the wave function, since, after each measurement, it is necessary to collapse the wave function, otherwise the wave function evolved according to the Schrodinger equation, it would provide erroneous predictions in every subsequent measure. On the other hand, if we do not make any measurements, the predictions of the non-collapsed wave function are correct. This is one of the unsolved problems of the parallel universe interpretation, which in fact assumes the Schrodinger equation as its fundamental law, but then implicitly assumes its violation (since the collapse of the wave function is a violation of the Schrodinger equation ) without providing any rational justification. As often happens, to hide these inconsistencies, the supporters of this interpretation always remain vague as regards the so-called “branching”, that is the generation of infinite universes. This pseudo-interpretation has nothing to do with science, and not even with philosophy. Prof. Marco Biagini
@@pbp6741 This is false. In fact, if you do not callapse the wave functions after every measurement, the Schrodinger equation would give wrong predictions in all successive measurements. So, if you want to use quantum mechanics, you have to collapse the wave function after every measurement.
@@PaulMarostica I will watsh it as soon as I can, and I'll let you know. I have published three short divulgative lessons on quantum mechanics, in case you are interested
@@marcobiagini1878 I’ll make it simple for you. If a photon is shot at a 50% silvered mirror the Many Worlds hypotheses solves the Schrödinger equation by observing in one World the photon is reflected and in another World the photon passes through. Wave collapse is a construct introduced by Copenhagen to try to explain what happened to the rest of the possibility wave. Many Worlds doesn’t need that construct because in Many Worlds the entire possibility wave is realized.
Is the screen with the slits even necessary? What happens if you don't fire the photons from behind a screen, but emit them from two sources imbedded in the screen some distance apart? Do the photons still interfere with each other on their way to the detector?
@2:22 Leaving out diffraction is exactly what NOT to do in this discussion because it leads to the erroneous notion of light behaving as a particle in the single slit experiment. In both the single and the double slit experiment, light (and electrons) behave as waves, never as particles (until they touch the detetor...maybe).
I'm confused about one thing, what happens if you set up a detector on one slit only? Does detecting the particles moving through one slit only affect the particles moving through the other slit in the same way? This should be the true test of Realism.
Different angles due to different velocities of the different momentum, where velocity is a vector. Position has small uncertainities because its going through a slit applying the Heinsberg's uncertainity principle.

If we moved the wall very far from the slits, would the wave function "diffuse" from a particle-like state to a wave-like state if we just gave i enough time? In other words, does the particle become a wave again if it just gets the necessary time?
But Dr. Linkoln, if we setup detectors around slits like in 3:44, the photos will get absorbed by the detectors and will never reach the screen. Then the whole experiment will cease to be a "double slit" experiment. Isn't that?
....of whether or not the experiment is being consciously observed. Recorded results made no difference but live demonstrations show the difference in results.
@@paulkeeling6442 I wrote that comment a year ago before I had significant knowledge on quantum mechanics. The notion that conscious observation causes particle reduction is actually false
I'm so happy to start understanding the weirdness of QM. Could you explain the stuff on your blackboard? Recap is your favorite word, and recapping the recaps is enjoyable, thank you. Lawson di Ransom Canyon
The most simple explanation is that everything is basically a combination of wave functions. And the particle aspect is just our limited view of that, limited by our ability to directly detect the quantum wave "reality". I warmly recommend Sean Carroll's book "Something Deeply Hidden".
Sir, what if we think that forces are not the cause but the effect of the change in the dimensions. Meaning that the change in dimensions cause the motion in particles and force is just an illusion. Like i have control over the cloth of space and time. I can move the objects placed on it and the objects just feel the force. According to them the force is making them move, but actually the cloth is making them move.
What happens if we place an additional slit at the location of maximal interference on the initial screen such that we create a second screen behind the first? Such that if the photon hit the screen of the second detector it must have gone through the point where interference was maximal? Also if the second detector does detect the presence of an electron or photon would there be a single band or multiple bands? Because if the photon passes through this point, it would be out of phase with respect to the other slit? So I would expect there to be two bands on the second screen if there was any at all. Do any photons hit the area between the bands of maximal lines of maximal detection? Does it have a lower probability of hitting one of these locations or is not possible to hit these locations at all?
There is a lot more to say about Alain Aspect, who probably is going to be a Nobel Price. His experience using Bell inequalities to settle a debate between Bohr and Einstein, the EPR paradox, a subject every scientist though to be "metaphysic"/philosophic, could be a subject for a very long and very interesting video. This experience proved the non locality of quantum physics...which is a mind blowing concept. Else the Alain Aspect experience is in itself just a jewel of ingeniousity.
I think it's not stated strongly enough that the "many worlds" interpretation still doesn't lessen the extent to which a single photon still has it's location governed by wave mechanics. I really appreciate these videos Dr. Lincoln.
Dr. Lincoln, the "moment " we detect the particle we "collapse " the wave function, regardless of how we detect it, correct? Hence, no longer we have the wave function as a probability anymore, it is a particle (detectable within some location and with some range of motion. Doesn't this help explaining the phenomenon?
You showed that after shooting many individual photons through the slits they would start gathering in the same interference pattern. Why do most illustrations online show individual particles only gathering in the shape of the 2 parallel slits?
When two peaks hit the wall and combine for a bright spot, is there a way to convert them back to being a single beam of light like they were before they went through the two slots instead of a combination of two waves? I'm making logic gates out of light, but I can't have more than one stage if I can't make the bright spot act like a single beam instead of two beam constructively interfering with each other in that point is space. The light needs to pass through another set of slits for the second gate, but if the light entering the second set of slits is already an interfering set of beams instead of a single coherent beam, you get a mess. Any ideas?
its a particle purley on the basis that light is emitted in striaght lines and its only when it meets outside interference does it change its format... all energy emitted is positive energy... hope those helps
Another example of particle distribution is when you drink your favorite coffee. Your lips will imprint a certain pattern of coffee near the lid. It’s measuring the differences between the weaker and greater gravitational forces in your locality.
If the location of where we will find a particle is governed by the probabilistic wavefunction, it seems quite reasonable that as we fire a single electron/photon through the double slit it will over time form that “interference pattern”, no?
Explain in more detail by what is meant by observing the photon with a detector at the slits. How does the detector work? How does it detect the photon without affecting it in some way?

YES! YOU ARE BACK Dr. Lincoln!!!!!! Thank you very much. You're videos are very enjoyable.
The quality of these videos just keep getting better and better! I've been interested (as a hobby) in cosmology more than 15 years now, and understanding the nature of our reality. I'm just starting to make sense of what you just said. Maybe I'm stupid, but for others out there who are having a hard time grasping these ideas of light as a particle AND a wave, and super-positions, and quantum-entanglement; don't sweat it. It took 10 years of watching these kind of videos to finally get my head around it.
And edit lol: I don't mean I understand it. I mean I'm getting the idea BEHIND it 😂
I haven't scene physics videos for months now but i couldn't stop myself from clicking this one as soon as i saw don in the thumbnail
I am on vacation now and promised my wife not to spent too much time on physics. But a Fermi Lab video of Don changes all the rules. Quantum physic, I am addicted to it. Great video!

"Particle physics based on real dimensions of space-time" [Volume 09; issue 10; 2022] - arcjournals - International journal of advanced research in physical science - Open access for free download.
To think, how the electrons entering the slit knows whether an observation is made on it or the detector is switched ON/OFF and change its results (pattern on the screen) accordingly, is the confusion. This even led the scientist to wonder if quantum mechanics is a future deciding factor of human life. The answer is simple, the experimentation has to include the observer such that observer is equal to observing object together undergoing one of two results at a time. One may think, it is like surrendering oneself and cease to think anymore. No, it is not so.
I have published a series of papers (totally 9 nos.) on "Theory of Singularity". Hope this new proposed study serves one fundamental for general relativity and quantum mechanics by solving incompatibility between them.

@@PaulMarostica Yeah, no. That was bad.
It's obviously a high energy particle making waves in a (i'd say definitely quantised, particulate) medium that diffract and interfere, forming wave guides that extra detectors interfere with and destroy.. the particle goes through the slit it is aimed at and hits a wave guide if one exists. This is so blindly obvious I don't see what the problem is.. I'd say the particle is a permanent imbalance in the very same medium.
Great video. And I like that you split it up.

I'm still confused. How can an individual photon create an interference pattern, if it goes only through one slit? For such a pattern to emerge, doesn't it require two sources?
I also don't understand the confusion about the measurement influencing the experiment. I mean, the detector is influencing the photon and altering the experiment, or not?
I don’t really know what else to say but that video was exceptionally cool!

A wave is spread across. In a double slit experiment, if the wavefunction representing the electron, hits the slits, shouldn’t that be a measurement and shouldn’t that collapse the wavefunction? Now, you'll say it's not a physical wave, it's a probability wave. But then how does a probability wave split into two after the slits? Then, it should be like, the wave hits the slits, the electron says, dude I'm going through the slits, so don't collapse, but you can split into two and diffract. When does it decide that it's going through the slit?
Your jacket is in a superposition of being too big and just right.
I actually think it's a little on the big side.
Losing weight is expensive when you have to by a whole new wardrobe.
Isn't it a lab coat?
Underrated comment.
It’s a Black Lab Coat! Silly.
Since the outcome is different between single and double slits, the slits themself are a measuring device. As in, they interact with the incoming waveform. Or rather, it interacts with the walls of the slit(s).
Dr. Lincoln, one small correction: if the paper was about photons, it would most certainly be "light" reading.
I think you need to explain how a detector can record the presence of a photon without affecting it.
Clearly our macro level instincts about “wave” and “particle” are strained in the quantum realm. Do they break?
That bothers me too! I tried to find an explanation, without having to read a whole paper :(
So any detector-device can't (shouldn't) work, right?
Some glass/cristal which the photon passes through may also affect the photon.
I've read a book from Anton Zeilinger and he mentions a polarization filter... That's all i have so far
So apparently a polarization filter keeps the wave 'intact'. They but a different filter before each slit. At the detector you know which slit the photon passed based on the polarization.
Does it work that way?
Is this the only method to detect which slit the photon passed through?
Can’t wait for the next video!
This thing about the wave pattern only appearing when sensors are on, always seemed to me like instrument interference.
you have it backwards. it's single particle pattern when they check on which slit it goes through. and he kind of missed saying that the mind blowing thing is that when you don't detect where it goes it behaves like the particle is interfering with itself.

During Clovid19 the gym was closed and looking up star formations and the like I discovered Particle physics. The double slit, the Quantum Entanglement theory fascinating is all I can say. If I were young I would have studied a whole lot more of math and NO sports what so ever.
Optics is an interesting field. For decades the theory that got the most “press”, shall we say, was the one pushed by the most prominent scientists at the time. Having been involved designing instruments that used light primarily, I did not loose too much sleep worrying about which side was “correct”, just about which one best governed the problem at hand. Put copious amount of light on a stage, illuminate without heat the inside of a persons mouth, or measuring the size and velocity of particles exiting an aerosol can. I guess the “engineer” mindset triumphed. What is it they are called? Oh, yeah applied physicists.

Delighted to see you again!
Two days ago I was like, Owh no it's been a while
What sorcery is this? Cant wait!
Or is it that it's actually a cluster of small particles that behaves as a single large particle and a wave at the same time?
Like a flock of birds.
But we haven't been able to come down to that level of physics yet.
@@ehsnils I used to think that it was related to the phenomenonal rate of vibration of the source emitting the particle ie. because it's so rapid and the rate of particles being emitted, it was a series of pointlike particles being sent from the source that made it appear to be a continuous wavering line. Something like digital and analog at the same time. That's as far as I got and I've never been able to understand it since :(
Can't wait for the next video. The delayed choice quantum eraser experiment is one of my fav's
When I was in school, our teacher had his own way of explaining the wave particle conundrum. He said: You can tell which room is a living room, and which one is a workroom. But you can't tell which brick is a living room brick and which a workroom brick until you put it in place.
Very nice explanation.
That doesn't explain anything. That's not how quantum mechanics work.
@@medusaskull9625 Analogies never explain how something works. But they help understanding where some explanation break down.
@@SiqueScarface Good analogy does help. Bad analogy often lead to false understanding of a phenomenon and cause more damage than good. For example, when talking about gravity, people often put a large ball in the middle of a trampoline and show how other mass get fallen into the big mass due to space warped. What worse is they do this with no disclaimer nor further clarification on that it's just an analogy. That's a bad analogy. Smaller object whirl in not due to space warped but b/c we are on Earth and gravity is already there to pull it down. I felt insulted and discouraged to learn from those analogy. How do you know object path get interfered when space got warped? You can't draw a direct conclusion in gravity is a direct result of space warped.
@@medusaskull9625 you're confused about that read general relativity again
Great to have you back.

what happens if you only cover a part of the opening with a detector? why does the "non slit" part not count as a detector? why does air not count as a detector? does a photon carry a "detection-bit" of data? does it forget that it has been observed after some time?
1. As in only one of the slits being covered by a detector, or even only part of the slits covered by the detector? The treatment is essentially decohering between the area checked by the detector and its complement. This means the state is no longer a superposition but a mixture over the propagation through the complementary areas. What this implies is that we will observe at the screen two patterns overlaid, no interference between the two patters, one resulting from the propagation from the area checked and one from the complement area. This covers all situations. You can consider 4 detectors, one for the upper half or the left slit, one for the lower part of the left slit, and likewise for the right slit, then You get 4 patterns overlaid.
2. It could. A single photon can be detected at the first screen with the slits in it, or, alternatively, at the final screen.
3. I am not sure what You mean. In relation to 4. as in carrying the information "I have been observed"?
4. I use the term measurement instead of observation to distinguish an objective evolution from a subjective update of knowledge. What happens at the slits with detectors is the evolution of the state corresponding to the interaction between the particle and the detectors (ideally establishing correlating entanglement between particle and detectors, without affecting the particle otherwise). The subsequent evolution continue from this state and in this sense it does not forget, unless specific operations are applied to reverse the process and assuming they remain practically feasible (a macroscopic detector will be environmentally decohered very quickly preventing this).
There exists a universe where I understood this video.
Not this universe unfortunately.
To get a completely different, better understanding of what is occurring, you can view my video, "Particle 2 Slit Experiments Explained By Paul Marostica".
Whatever you do, don't read that "light nighttime reading" (5:27)... ^^
I'm really into languages and literature, not physics... But try hard to understand some here with this man. He definitely is a nice man, right? He smiles while talking rsrs so cool. Greetings from Brazil.
I hope he talks about the "testing bombs thought experiment"
You know, the one tackling the absurdity of "Interaction free measurement"!
7:58 Doesn't QFT which the Standard Model is based on give a good explanation? Aren't electrons and photons just excitements in a field, and these excitements can be stationary ('particle') or traveling like a wave?
Is the doc ok? Looks way thin. It's worrying if it's because of an ailment.
Shutup
@@catfi5h336 What?
excellent, one of the best physics communicators
Actually, it must be pointed out that the pilot theory interpretation is certainly wrong, since, contrary to standard quantum theory, it is incompatible with the special theory of relativity. Also the many world interpretation is certainly wrong and inconsistent. In fact, contrary to the stated intentions, it does not solve the problem of the collapse of the wave function, since, after each measurement, it is necessary to collapse the wave function, otherwise the wave function evolved according to the Schrodinger equation, it would provide erroneous predictions in every subsequent measure. On the other hand, if we do not make any measurements, the predictions of the non-collapsed wave function are correct. This is one of the unsolved problems of the parallel universe interpretation, which in fact assumes the Schrodinger equation as its fundamental law, but then implicitly assumes its violation (since the collapse of the wave function is a violation of the Schrodinger equation ) without providing any rational justification. As often happens, to hide these inconsistencies, the supporters of this interpretation always remain vague as regards the so-called “branching”, that is the generation of infinite universes. This pseudo-interpretation has nothing to do with science, and not even with philosophy. Prof. Marco Biagini
Per the various Many Worlds hypotheses the wave function does not collapse so there is no collapse to explain.
@@pbp6741 This is false. In fact, if you do not callapse the wave functions after every measurement, the Schrodinger equation would give wrong predictions in all successive measurements. So, if you want to use quantum mechanics, you have to collapse the wave function after every measurement.
I'm curious to learn what you think of my explanation in my video, "Particle 2 Slit Experiments Explained By Paul Marostica".
@@PaulMarostica I will watsh it as soon as I can, and I'll let you know. I have published three short divulgative lessons on quantum mechanics, in case you are interested
@@marcobiagini1878 I’ll make it simple for you. If a photon is shot at a 50% silvered mirror the Many Worlds hypotheses solves the Schrödinger equation by observing in one World the photon is reflected and in another World the photon passes through. Wave collapse is a construct introduced by Copenhagen to try to explain what happened to the rest of the possibility wave. Many Worlds doesn’t need that construct because in Many Worlds the entire possibility wave is realized.
Is the screen with the slits even necessary? What happens if you don't fire the photons from behind a screen, but emit them from two sources imbedded in the screen some distance apart? Do the photons still interfere with each other on their way to the detector?
To get a different, better understanding of what is occurring, you can view my video, "Particle 2 Slit Experiments Explained By Paul Marostica".
@2:22 Leaving out diffraction is exactly what NOT to do in this discussion because it leads to the erroneous notion of light behaving as a particle in the single slit experiment. In both the single and the double slit experiment, light (and electrons) behave as waves, never as particles (until they touch the detetor...maybe).
I'm confused about one thing, what happens if you set up a detector on one slit only? Does detecting the particles moving through one slit only affect the particles moving through the other slit in the same way? This should be the true test of Realism.
Fascinating and informative. Thanks Doctor Lincoln and keep up the good work.
What about the detector interfering with the wave, why is that reasoning missed (I mean you are dealing with particles...)?
There are no particles. The universe is composed of fields interacting. The detector would effect the electro-dynamic fields
Different angles due to different velocities of the different momentum, where velocity is a vector. Position has small uncertainities because its going through a slit applying the Heinsberg's uncertainity principle.
The deeper I get into quantum physics, the more I get frustrated by the loose ends. Thanks for all the work done at Fermi!
Dear brothers and sisters,
I have solved the problem of particle to behave like particle and wave, when observed and unobserved respectively in double slit experiment.
"Particle physics based on real dimensions of space-time" [Volume 09; issue 10; 2022] - arcjournals - International journal of advanced research in physical science - Open access for free download.
To think, how the electrons entering the slit knows whether an observation is made on it or the detector is switched ON/OFF and change its results (pattern on the screen) accordingly, is the confusion. This even led the scientist to wonder if quantum mechanics is a future deciding factor of human life. The answer is simple, the experimentation has to include the observer such that observer is equal to observing object together undergoing one of two results at a time. One may think, it is like surrendering oneself and cease to think anymore. No, it is not so.
I have published a series of papers (totally 9 nos.) on "Theory of Singularity". Hope this new proposed study serves one fundamental for general relativity and quantum mechanics by solving incompatibility between them.
[Volume 10; issue 03,04; 2023] - arcjournals....thank you
video quality getting better. nice
For the last few days the youtube algorithm had brought me videos about the delayed-choice quantum-erasure experiment and now you've released a prelude to another - not that I'm complaining. Coincidence? More quantum kinkiness? Can't wait to hear your take on this brain-bending marvel.
You have a knack of explaining difficult topics easily, thank you
Good to see you seem to have lost your lockdown weight! Time to get a new jacket though! That one is way too big!
Fantastic science series. Big fan of your work.
A question regarding the double slit experiment I've had for a while. If we moved the wall very far from the slits, would the wave function "diffuse" from a particle-like state to a wave-like state if we just gave i enough time? In other words, does the particle become a wave again if it just gets the necessary time?
Id like to read the answer to that. great question!
But Dr. Linkoln, if we setup detectors around slits like in 3:44, the photos will get absorbed by the detectors and will never reach the screen. Then the whole experiment will cease to be a "double slit" experiment. Isn't that?
I still don’t understand what they mean by “photons will travel at a wave of probability” probability of??
....of whether or not the experiment is being consciously observed. Recorded results made no difference but live demonstrations show the difference in results.
@@paulkeeling6442 I wrote that comment a year ago before I had significant knowledge on quantum mechanics.
The notion that conscious observation causes particle reduction is actually false
How can you detect a photon passing through a slit without absorbing that photon?
I'm so happy to start understanding the weirdness of QM. Could you explain the stuff on your blackboard? Recap is your favorite word, and recapping the recaps is enjoyable, thank you. Lawson di Ransom Canyon
Good to see you back!
Def my favorite expiriment, its like peeling back the veil of quantum mechanics into the unknown
The most simple explanation is that everything is basically a combination of wave functions. And the particle aspect is just our limited view of that, limited by our ability to directly detect the quantum wave "reality". I warmly recommend Sean Carroll's book "Something Deeply Hidden".
Thank you Dr. Lincoln. But I don't think I'll be back. I don't want any of this erased.
Sir, what if we think that forces are not the cause but the effect of the change in the dimensions. Meaning that the change in dimensions cause the motion in particles and force is just an illusion.
Like i have control over the cloth of space and time. I can move the objects placed on it and the objects just feel the force. According to them the force is making them move, but actually the cloth is making them move.
What happens if we place an additional slit at the location of maximal interference on the initial screen such that we create a second screen behind the first?
Such that if the photon hit the screen of the second detector it must have gone through the point where interference was maximal?
Also if the second detector does detect the presence of an electron or photon would there be a single band or multiple bands? Because if the photon passes through this point, it would be out of phase with respect to the other slit?
So I would expect there to be two bands on the second screen if there was any at all.
Do any photons hit the area between the bands of maximal lines of maximal detection? Does it have a lower probability of hitting one of these locations or is not possible to hit these locations at all?
There is a lot more to say about Alain Aspect, who probably is going to be a Nobel Price.
His experience using Bell inequalities to settle a debate between Bohr and Einstein, the EPR paradox, a subject every scientist though to be "metaphysic"/philosophic, could be a subject for a very long and very interesting video.
This experience proved the non locality of quantum physics...which is a mind blowing concept.
Else the Alain Aspect experience is in itself just a jewel of ingeniousity.
This man may be a great scientist, but he cannot pick suitably fitting clothes , unless that’s meant to be a wizards jacket 😂
I think it's not stated strongly enough that the "many worlds" interpretation still doesn't lessen the extent to which a single photon still has it's location governed by wave mechanics.
I really appreciate these videos Dr. Lincoln.
Dr. Lincoln, the "moment " we detect the particle we "collapse " the wave function, regardless of how we detect it, correct? Hence, no longer we have the wave function as a probability anymore, it is a particle (detectable within some location and with some range of motion. Doesn't this help explaining the phenomenon?
very nice explained and easy to follow! Cannot wait for the next video! Great Job!
How you can detect the photon an do not absorb it?
That’s like saying does your house exist if you’re not looking at it.
You showed that after shooting many individual photons through the slits they would start gathering in the same interference pattern. Why do most illustrations online show individual particles only gathering in the shape of the 2 parallel slits?
When two peaks hit the wall and combine for a bright spot, is there a way to convert them back to being a single beam of light like they were before they went through the two slots instead of a combination of two waves? I'm making logic gates out of light, but I can't have more than one stage if I can't make the bright spot act like a single beam instead of two beam constructively interfering with each other in that point is space. The light needs to pass through another set of slits for the second gate, but if the light entering the second set of slits is already an interfering set of beams instead of a single coherent beam, you get a mess. Any ideas?
its a particle purley on the basis that light is emitted in striaght lines and its only when it meets outside interference does it change its format...
all energy emitted is positive energy...
hope those helps
Don is back
Another example of particle distribution is when you drink your favorite coffee. Your lips will imprint a certain pattern of coffee near the lid. It’s measuring the differences between the weaker and greater gravitational forces in your locality.
If the location of where we will find a particle is governed by the probabilistic wavefunction, it seems quite reasonable that as we fire a single electron/photon through the double slit it will over time form that “interference pattern”, no?
Awesome video, thanks professor. All your videos are great.
Is the material used for the slits going to electromagnetically reorient the stream of particles?
@MichaelKingsfordGray No is not an answer, it is a negative only. Please reply with a relevant rebuttal.
Always clear, concise and packed full of information in digestible manner. Thank you fermilab and thank you Dr!
Thank you Estimated Dr. Lincoln!
Explain in more detail by what is meant by observing the photon with a detector at the slits. How does the detector work? How does it detect the photon without affecting it in some way?
