    Hello everyone! I am back from a 2+year comment hiatus and excited to say hi! (my account wasn't linked with any google+ account, so I couldn't comment on RUclips from the MinutePhysics account for the last 2-3 years; google finally gave up on google+ enough that now I can comment on RUclips again!!)

      Cloning a joke is theoretically impossible. You see, jokes have several factors other than the joke itself that make it funny. If I were to just copy and paste your joke, the timing would be different, author would be different, and the amount of likes would probably be different too. You won't have to worry about someone cloning your joke, only re-posting it.

    Very mixed feelings in re to format length. Longer and more in depth is great. But I would hate to lose the shorter format that really made your brand. They both serve a purpose. Two channels is probably not a good solution, especially from a business perspective. Perhaps clearly mark each format, perhaps not just by name, (ten minute physics works), but by some distinctive visual clue. This works on other channels that have multiple formats. People can readily pick out the series they want. You can keep separate playlists for those checking out your back catalogue.

    Hi, something seems off about the proof in the video - at the start you said that there are 3 things needed for cloning:
    1) the original object (O)
    2) the materials that comprise the object (M)
    3) cloning process (C)
    But the proof only considers O and C (as a function of O), while it should be O, M and C (as a function of O and M).
    Cloning shouldn't be C(O)=OxO but C(OxM)=OxO.
    If O exists in superposition as O1+O2 then cloning would be C((O1+O2)xM)=(O1+O2)x(O1+O2).
    We then need to examine the cloning process for O1 and O2, however the materials needed for cloning O1, O2 and O might be different.
    Let's say M1 is the materials for cloning O1 and M2 is the materials for cloning O2, so the materials needed for cloning O=O1+O2 are M=M1+M2.
    C(O1xM1)=O1xO1,C(O2xM2)=O2xO2
    O1xO1+O2xO2+O1xO2+O2xO1=(O1+O2)x(O1+O2)=OxO=C(OxM)=C((O1+O2)x(M1+M2))=C(O1xM1)+C(O1xM2)+C(O2xM1)+C(O2xM2)=O1xO1+O2xO2+C(O1xM2)+C(O2xM1)
    So the process could exist so long as O1xO2+O2xO1=C(O1xM2)+C(O2xM1). Consider for example the trivial solution where M=O and cloning is an empty action.
    PS - great videos, learned a lot from them.

      @@itsnotme7868 I'm not sure I understand you mate. If C is the cloning process as a function of O, then the end product would be C(O)=OxO.
      And regardless as I've stated in my previous comment I think the proof is lacking M to truly prove anything meaningful.
      Without M all that is proven is that there is no process that can take an object O and turn it into 2 of the same object OxO - which I would think is already covered by conservation of matter.

    • @justinanderson2132
      @justinanderson2132 4 года назад +7

      @Danamo999 Sorry, I'm a year out of context so I might be missing something obvious.
      "C(O1xM2) is only defined if M2 is the materials to clone O1" - why would that be the case?
      The only thing we know about the process C is that given an object O/O1/O2 and the materials needed to reproduce it M/M1/M2, the process results in 2 objects O/O1/O2 and under these conditions C would be cloning.
      We know nothing about what process C does given an object O1 and the materials M2.
      Imagine a trivial example where C is an empty action - it does absolutely nothing. And the materials M to reproduce an object O are the object itself, M=O.
      Let's say O is a cat, O1 is a dead cat and O2 is a living cat, O=O1+O2. The materials to reproduce a cat O is another cat exactly like it M=O.
      The materials to reproduce a dead cat is another dead cat just like it M1=O1, the materials to reproduce a living cat is a living cat just like it M2=O2.
      You put a dead cat O1 in a box together with another dead cat M1=O1, then open the box and have 2 dead cats O1. You've successfully (though trivially) cloned a dead cat.
      You put a dead cat O1 in a box together with a living cat M2=O2/=O1, then open the box and find a living cat O2 and a dead cat O1.
      Is the process C of doing nothing to the objects inside perfectly defined? Yes.
      Does it successfully clone an object given the right materials? Yes.
      Must the materials M1 for producing a dead cat O1 be the same as the materials M2 for producing a living cat O2? No.
      Will the process successfully clone an object given the wrong materials? No. But then again it's not supposed to.

      I know I am 3 years late but for cloning to be possible the cloning transformation should distribute. So,
      C((O1+O2)×M) = C(O1×M + O2×M)
      must be equal to

    So it IS feasibly possible for two things in the universe to be exactly the same, just not for us to make exact copies of something that there's only one of in existence. This brings to light an interesting concept concerning consciousness.
    Suppose that the universe is spatially infinite. Also, suppose that the number of types of particles that exist in the universe is finite. On top of that, assume that there's only a certain number of ways to arrange those particles that complies with known physical law, and that those particles can only exist in a finite number of states. As such, if space is infinite, that would mean that, if you go far enough in any direction, you'll eventually run across an exact copy of the place you just left. So, if you left earth, then eventually you'd run across an exact replica of earth. Down to the people on it. Down to the arrangement of the neurons in those peoples' brains. Down to the properties of the sodium and potassium ions in those brains. And not only would there be one exact copy. If space were infinite, there would be an infinite number of exact copies.
    Now, as far as we know of today, there is no mystical aspect of consciousness that determines its properties. You are you simply because your brain is arranged a certain way, and your neurons are firing in a particular pattern that is unique to you. But here's the catch - if there were to exist an exact copy of you, down to the position of the neurons and the arrangement of the neural activity, then which "you" would you be? Which head would you reside in? What would differentiate your mind from the mind of the other you? Assuming that they truly were an exact copy, then nothing at all would differentiate the two of you.
    Now, if you two were to be in the same location and interacting with each other, then it could be determined which "you" was you, as the very act of interacting would break the symmetry. The other "you" would respond to your gestures, therefore altering his neural state in a way that's unique from yours. But, if the two of you were to forever remain isolated in your little bubbles, then you could conceivably reside in both heads at once. And, if there's an infinite number of "you's" out there, then you'd reside in all of their heads at once. And, since they'd all be exact copies, then they'd all be experiencing and doing the same thing simultaneously. So there wouldn't be any way for you to differentiate between the copies.
    In short, your mind could be simultaneously existing in an infinite number of locations at once. You simply don't know because each location is an exact copy of the other, so you get the exact same sensory input and experience the exact same responses to that input at every location.
    What's more, let's assume that every copy of you suddenly became curious and said "I want to find this supposed replica-world." Afterwards, they all set out in their collective high-tech spacecraft in a random direction, intent on traveling until they run across the replica-earth. Now, let's say that after an arbitrarily long amount of time (assuming that you could somehow do it before the universe suffered heat death) you finally run across this replica world. Here's the kicker. The "you" of this world would've left long ago, at the exact moment YOU decided to leave, in search of this mysterious "replica-world" he thought of. That means that, from the perspective of the people that inhabit that world, "you" set off in one direction, bound for a replica-world, but instead simply returned to your own world, coming from the opposite direction. From their perspective, you simply would've circled the entire universe, then come back around. And the crazy thing is that, from your perspective, this would be a perfectly reasonable explanation as well, as you'd never run in to any copy of you, and there would be no way of differentiating the earth you find from the earth you left behind. Similarly, a copy of you would show up on the earth you left, which the people on that world would assume was you after having circled the entire universe. So is there really any difference between a universe with an infinite number of "you"s and "earth"s, and a universe that curves in on itself?

    From my hero, Dr. Max Tagmark: "The simplest and most popular cosmological model today predicts that you have a twin in a galaxy about 10 to the 10^28 meters from here. This distance is so large that it is beyond astronomical, but that does not make your doppelgänger any less real. The estimate is derived from elementary probability and does not even assume speculative modern physics, merely that space is infinite (or at least sufficiently large) in size and almost uniformly filled with matter, as observations indicate. In infinite space, even the most unlikely events must take place somewhere." Cloning occurs naturally in a sufficiently large universe. Late estimate is the universe is a minimum of 96 Billion Light Years (9.08230125367757E+26 Meters) is diameter, so the chance that is about of >1000 of everyone in this universe is high.

    • @RRRaiken
      @RRRaiken 8 лет назад +2

      I think what the Observer Effect describes is that the act of observation will alter the state of the subject, so even though wave function collapses, the original object will experience change so it will not be a perfect copy... I could be wrong but I think using act of observation will result in an "Ok clone" mentioned in the video

      Hm. If you were to sort of "scan" the object and then clone it, I'm pretty sure you'd get a perfect copy. Now... I'll grant you though, by scanning the object I guess you did change it and so it's not really the actual original anymore, right? Like, by scanning the box we already determined whether or not the cat is alive. So while the original box had an "undead" cat, the scanned original has either or. And so does the clone, making it a perfect copy of the new original. But yea, I guess we did change the original first in this case so I suppose in that way it's not a perfect copy :/
      Oh well, I'm just thinking out loud anyway, I don't actually understand this stuff :D

    • @WeAreGRID
      @WeAreGRID 8 лет назад +3

      the act of cloning IS an act of observation, for a machine to make a copy of whatever is in a box, it needs to know what is in the box.
      you can only get exploded gunpowder or unexploded gunpowder out of the machine, because only A or B went IN to the machine, we just didnt know what went into it.
      We would get exactly whatever went in, but it would be a copy of the observed particles.

      PrinceZohan mostly because I assumed that the most important mental processes happened at the circuitry level of neuron networks rather than at the subatomic level.

      There is no evidence of functional quantum coherence in the brain. A few papers have suggested that there are structures that could support coherent effects or entanglement, but the decoherence timescales on these systems is incredibly small relative to the duration of a synapse firing, so it seems unlikely that there's functional coherence.
      However, there is evidence of quantum coherent effects in photosynthesis, vision, and olfaction (smell), which is pretty fascinating on its own. I'm currently a PhD candidate in quantum biology, so this is rather my field.

      I'll link them, but I do strongly advise they be taken with a truckload of salt. The main proponents for functional quantum mechanical effects in neural microtubules are Hameroff and Penrose (yes that Penrose):
      doi:10.1016/0378-4754(96)80476-9
      Tegmark provided arguments against this:
      doi: 10.1016/S0020-0255(00)00051-7
      Hameroff disagreed with this criticism:
      10.1103/PhysRevE.65.061901
      And it's just been a bit of back and forth since then. If you're interested in an introductory text to quantum biology (note: assumed knowledge of quantum mechanics), then I can recommend Mohseni et al. _Quantum Effects in Biology_, and for plants in particular (no assumed QM knowledge) Blankenship _Molecular Mechanisms of Photosynthesis_.

We, as a bunch of atoms, understand that we are atoms and can grasp amazing concepts like our place and purpose in the universe. Then again, what is consciousness and does it really exist. How can you know if you have the awareness that you are having your own thoughts and are not just programmed or destined based on your biochemistry to do what you do? These are perplexing questions I hope we can shed some light on in the coming century, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence that pass the Turing Test with flying colors. Could we reach the point where beings we create in simulation actually perceive their world in the same way as we do. Is it ethical to create a conscious creature to serve our will? It would be like slavery. Or we couldn't really tell if the robots actually 'felt' anything on a emotional level. Mind-boggling stuff, truly.

      It's a bit like the thought that you could potentially not exist in time. You could be frozen in an instant, with only the feelings you presently have suggesting that there was something before. Of course, each instant you remember tells you that at that moment it was not the case, but it wouldn't even have to exist. It's a bit odd.

    • @michaelmcginnis1429
      @michaelmcginnis1429 8 лет назад +3

      It depends on what you consider "you." If the most fundamental thing that makes you "you" is your conscientiousness, then you'd have to find out if the most fundamental thing that makes you conscientious is chemical bonds and neurons firing in your brain. If that's the case, teleportation is possible because there is no physical law preventing an advance in technology that can measure chemical bonds and neurons. If the most fundamental thing that makes up conscientiousness is at the quantum level of the subatomic particles that make up your brain, then teleportation of exactly "you" is not possible because the act of measuring at the quantum level changes the particle or energy level of the particle being measured. At that point, you have to ask yourself, am I really going to change THAT much by teleporting? Right now, no one can be sure because science has not advanced that far.

    @PiercingSight 8 лет назад +19

    You skipped some logic: Where in the world did the formula at 5:03 - 5:12 come from? The whole proof hinges on contradicting that formula, but you never showed where it came from.
    I get the sense that it's linked to point number 2, but still, the connection isn't clear at all.

    • @PiercingSight
      @PiercingSight 8 лет назад +4

      Also, these formulas exclude not only the extra material to be formed into the clone from their formulation, but the outside materials that entropy would need to be released into in order for cloning to take place. Yes, the formulas would become much more complicated, but if they were properly formulated to include all of the variables and proper interactions, then I suspect that the contradiction would not appear.
      Furthermore, this contradiction is entirely dependent on the Copenhagen interpretation being true (superpositions and uncertainty being legitimate phenomena rather than the abstract assumptions that they are), which still is not proven to be correct. It is only assumed that just because things are weird that the weirdest interpretation must be the correct one, but thankfully there are plenty of quantum scientist who don't agree.

    • @MathAndComputers
      @MathAndComputers 8 лет назад +2

      The equation at 5:03 - 5:12 is just applying the definition of cloning, slightly abbreviated for space. It should really be Clone((|E>+|U>)x|stuff>) = (|E>+|U>)x(|E>+|U>). The Clone operation takes the |stuff> and makes it a copy of the first state.
      Also, he doesn't assume the Copenhagen Interpretation. All interpretations of quantum physics involve superpositions, because all models that correctly describe experimental results involve superpositions existing in all but a small number of bases. In fact, pretty much all interpretations *except* the Copenhagen Interpretation assume that only linear, unitary operations can be done on states. CI allows the additional operation of "measurement", which doesn't actually correspond with a self-consistent quantum physical process, so it's a bit of a deus ex machina. That's why I don't like CI, but it's completely unrelated to the proof here.

    • @hauslerful
      @hauslerful 8 лет назад +7

      It's a tad badly explained, you're right. Here's whats happening: Let's say |E> means "exploded" and |N> means "not exploded".
      You start with one "thing" in the state |E>+|N>, meaning it's the gunpowder in a superposition. Now you create a second "thing", meaning now it's two "things" represented by the (tensor)-product of the two things:
      |Thing1> x |Thing2> = (|E>+|N>)x(|E>+|N>)
      The cloning operation is meant to take one "thing" and make two things out of it, whereas the two things as identical:
      Clone(|Thing1>) = |Thing1> x |Thing2>
      It would be much better if Henry stuck to his own notation because he already introduced the "Raw-materials"... Why not still use them. So the formula should look like
      Before: |Thing1>x|Raw>
      Then cloning: Clone( |Thing1> x |Raw> ) = |Thing1> x |Thing2>
      Then the distribution would be slightly more ugly, but it still works. First we separate the |Thing1>-State into it's components:
      |Thing1> x |Raw> = |E> x |Raw> + |N> x |Raw>
      (Note that this only is possible if the two are not entangled!). Then apply cloning to it, and distribute it:
      Clone( |E> x |Raw> + |N> x |Raw> ) = Clone(|E> x |Raw>) + Clone(|N> x |Raw>) = |E>x|E> + |N>x|N>
      Unfortunately Henry sometimes overlooks these details that can really be confusing, esp. for folks that see the stuff for the first time. He really needs to stick to his own notations and explain them better.
      Hope that helps :)

    • @PiercingSight
      @PiercingSight 8 лет назад +2

      +hauslerful - Thanks. I understand where that formula came from now, but it is not correct as it is ignoring a great number of variables.
      You also need to include the external materials that will need to be effected in order for cloning to take place. Because of conservation laws, changes to one thing must effect something else, and so the difference between the raw materials and the cloned object it will be turned into will be released into the surrounding matter as entropy.
      The formula should really be
      Clone( |thing> x |raw> x |external> ) = |thing> x |thing> x |externalWithEntropy>
      Or something similar. Given the correct formulation, the difference between |external> and |externalWithEntropy> would account for the "extra variables" (5:43) that result in the supposed contradiction.
      In the video, it would have made more sense if he had written the bottom formula as |E> x |E> + |N> x |N> + Entropy, where we can deduce that Entropy = |E> x |N> + |N> x |E>
      Clearly it isn't mathematically sound, but symbolically it gets the point across.

    So you can't skip to infinitesimally accurate cloning. Surely you could do very accurate reconstructions though. For example a device which will ensure an equal number of atoms, each atom is in the same position within a billionth of a meter, with the same momentum within a billionth of a m/s and same temperature within a billionth of a degree.
    Large scale superpositions obviously are broken during measurement anyways, and small scale ones will be smaller than the accuracy of our device. But the clone will be close enough to the point where you could never tell the difference because a thousandth of a second after cloning both objects would have changed more than the differences between them.
    Then as calculus does, I doubt it would be too hard to prove that for any situation you could clone something accurate enough so measuring differences is impossible, but not so accurate as to divide by 0, or in this case break the no cloning principle.
    (For any delta there exists an epsilon such that function of epsilon is closer to the function of x than delta is to x. )

      @jjbpenguin 8 лет назад

      I see your point, but a billionth of a meter is about an order of magnitude off from the average diameter of an atom, and about 5 orders of magnitude off from the average diameter of a nucleus, so that would be like someone recreating an exact duplicate of the earth, and all of the people are within a about 10 feet of where they are on the original. randomly re-positioning every person on the planet 10 feet would right away kill about half who are now partially underground, and probably kill another half of whoever are left from falling from a random orientation. sure they might not die on impact, but there will be no chance of medical care for some time because of the happening globally. Imagine if you took every brick of a building and shifted it 10x the diameter of that brick's thickness. that building would nearly instantly collapse.

    • @martinshoosterman
      @martinshoosterman 8 лет назад +10

      jjbpenguin That is a terribly faulty analogy. You are forgetting that molecules are 99.999% empty space, and they anyways move around much more than an order of magnitude simply through them vibrating from their own internal kinetic energy.
      You simply cannot ever make an analogy to explain something in the microscopic physical space, by explaining it in the macroscopic physical space, they dont run by the same rules. (rules as we know it)

    • @jjbpenguin
      @jjbpenguin 8 лет назад +2

      the size i referenced included the average size of the entire atom, including all that space, the size of just the nucleus's diameter would be about 5 orders of magnitude higher.
      so while my analogy isn't perfect, your stated accuracy of billionth of a meter would not be sufficient. that was all I was saying. had you said trillionth of a meter, that would be small enough that I would have no reason to refute it.

      @Dirdle 8 лет назад +3

      Krosly: With a quantum state, it's meaningless to talk about "the original" and "the replacement" (as established in this video, copying is generally impossible, but teleporting is not, so we'll avoid talking about a 'copy'). This can be shown by e.g. interferometer-type experiments, where particles end up destructively or constructively interfering with each other. If it there were any difference at all between identical quantum entities, the particles would not be able to interfere with each other - the amplitudes of their wavefunctions would be describing different things, and wouldn't add up in the way we observe them doing. So saying the "original person" would be dead is physically not that coherent - the replacement person *is* the original, in every way that counts.
      People get really far out of whack with what physics permits on this matter because seductively-intuitive thought experiments lead them astray, when actually the parameters of those thought experiments aren't permitted by physical law. A certain well-known youtuber has a lot to answer for in that regard, in my personal opinion.

    • @Xanthanarium
      @Xanthanarium 8 лет назад +5

      Dirdle See, but the problem I have with teleportation is that if a complete copy of you were to be assembled elsewhere in the universe (obviously this is impossible, as the video said, so we can't prove whether teleportation kills you or not) do YOU YOURSELF experience what that copy is doing? Are they made into a cohesive whole with your consciousness? And if you were to be destroyed, would the you you cease to continue to experience things or would your stream of thoughts seamlessly shift into the other one? In the eyes of others, there would be no issue. The copy of you would seem as though it was you, and it survived the teleportation procedure, but would the old version die? From your perspective, would you just die? I guess the whole thing depends on whether people have souls or something like that or not.

    For two objects to be "identical" in the strictest sense of the term, they would have to occupy the same space at the same time. That would violate the Pauli exclusion principle. Even if you relax your definition of "identical" to allow for different positions, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle prevents you from knowing all the properties of any object simultaneously. So, you would never actually be able to know that two objects are identical in all respects.
