  • Professor Jim Al-Khalili traces the story of arguably the most important, accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever: quantum physics.
    The story of quantum physics starts at the beginning of the 20th century with scientists trying to better understand how light bulbs work. This simple question soon led scientists deep into the hidden workings of matter, into the sub-atomic building blocks of the world around us. Here they discovered phenomena unlike any encountered before - a realm where things can be in many places at once, where chance and probability call the shots and where reality appears to only truly exist when we observe it.
    Albert Einstein hated the idea that nature, at its most fundamental level, is governed by chance. Jim reveals how in the 1930's, Einstein thought he'd found a fatal flaw in quantum physics. This was not taken seriously until it was tested in the 1960s. Professor Al-Khalili repeats this critical experiment, posing the question does reality really exist, or do we conjure it into existence by the act of observation?
    Elsewhere, we explore how the most famous law of quantum physics - The Uncertainty Principle - is obeyed by plants and trees as they capture sunlight during the vital process of photosynthesis. Could quantum mechanics explain the greatest mystery in biology - evolution?

      Einstein was definitely not open and honest, as it is CLEARLY impossible to separate inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, gravity, AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Einstein was selfish, and he was lazy.
      Very carefully consider what is THE SUN. Now, the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 is CLEARLY AND necessarily proven to be F=ma ON BALANCE; as gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!! (This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE.) Accordingly, ON BALANCE, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. GREAT. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Indeed, TIME dilation ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; as E=MC2 is CLEARLY and necessarily proven to be F=ma ON BALANCE !!! Very carefully consider that outer “space” involves full inertia, AND it is fully invisible AND black. (BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand, as it ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense.) Very carefully consider what is the speed of light (c) ON BALANCE !!! Inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY, as this balances gravity AND inertia; as E=MC2 is CLEARLY and necessarily proven to be F=ma ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy ON BALANCE.) Consider what is THE MAN who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Consider what is BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE. NOW, touch AND feeling BLEND; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. GREAT. AGAIN, TIME dilation ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; as E=MC2 is CLEARLY and necessarily proven to be F=ma ON BALANCE !!! GREAT !!!

      This documentary is not (completely) accurate. Speaking as a physics researcher in steady state photonics with a Masters in history (scientific history, specifically the history of the blackbody radiation and early quantum mechanics), there are many omissions and inaccuracies in this video (it's still good, just clearly not rigorously researched).
      Take Einstein for instance. This video makes it seem like Einstein was against quantum mechanics when HE was the one that created most of the original concepts in quantum mechanics. It was Einstein who first derived the correct value for zero point energy/motion 10 years BEFORE Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
      Einstein is usually revered as the father of special and general relativity. However, Albert Einstein is also the father of Quantum Theory and Condensed Matter Physics (a subset of which is Solid State Physics, my field) - including liquids. His 1907 article on the specific heat of solids introduces, for the first time, the effect of lattice vibrations on the thermodynamic properties of crystals, in particular the specific heat. His 1905 article on the photoelectric effect and photoluminescence opened the fields of photoelectron spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Other important achievements include Bose-Einstein condensation and the Einstein relation between the diffusion coefficient and mobility.
      Einstein was the first to come up with what is essential known as LASER theory, he was the first to come up with matter waves, probability waves, quantum entanglement, he was the first to quantize the radiation field, etc. Many science historians believe he should have gotten anywhere from 7 to 10 Nobel Prizes, most of which would be in quantum mechanics. Lastly, without Einstein's help neither Schrodinger, Bohr, Max Born, or Heisenberg would have ever discovered the equations they are most famous for in quantum mechanics. Stachel, Stone, Pais many other physicists/science historians have written about this.
      Einstein is widely regarded by many science historians and fellow scientists as the greatest scientist of all time, there's good reason for that. And I haven't even talked about his incredible discoveries in relativity, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, physical chemistry, and several other areas. Mind blowing intellect.
      I doubt we will see another Einstein ever again. Heck, he solved the famous Tea Leaf Paradox that had mystified intellectuals for centuries in his spare time out of boredom. And even the latest theory of Quantum Gravity requires two huge Einstein ideas: Einstein-Rosen Bridges and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Correlations.
      He basically created modern physics as we know it. His criticisms of quantum mechanics were valid then as they are now - and those criticisms led to the creation of quantum information theory.

  • @RagingGeekazoid

    What's really shocking is that our "descent into scientific madness" may actually be a psychological phenomenon rather than a genuinely scientific one. To escape from the absurdity of objects being in more than one place at a time, all you have to do is give up the idea of "objects" existing at all. The wave equations of quantum mechanics indicate that matter is a kind of wave, and quantization can be explained as a property of interactions between matter and energy fields. So what we think of as a particle of matter is really just a wave packet whose mass or energy content is based on the interaction that created it.

      with pair of socks it is already predetermined that of sock is right hand one and other is left hand one so if one which we find is right hand for instandce you can tell other is left hand. But the states of electrons are not predetermined as the probability f the state f electron can +-1/2 . So, when you measure it collapse into one of the either state. and the other electron (quantum entengled) state will be affected taking the opposite state of the former. So, it is not predetermined unlike Einstein's concept stating they are like pair of socks or gloves.

      How much time elapses from one shot to the next, from a photon's point of view?
      If you are travelling at the speed of light, as is a photon, passage of time from one shot to the next is zero. It's that.
      An alternative view of relativity: instead of saying "no positive mass can reach the speed of light", say "all mass is already AT the speed of light." If you have zero acceleration in space, then you are moving through time at light speed. More space speed, less time speed, the to total of the Lorentz transformation is the same. So the photon's I guess, don't "know" that time has passed from one shot to the next, from their point of view. They are entangled and in the same wave.

      The fact that you have read and responded to my post (even when I wasn’t watching you) proves that the theory is incorrect 😊

    When you stop the coin you’ve put a specific amount of pressure on it as it spins. When it stopped on heads or tails it depends on that pressure so a different amount of pressure has different results. When light waves hit the screen it’s hard stable pressure so the comparison is not similar so can’t be used to compare. It’s not proper scientific research. It would have to be equal stable pressure. But the two coins landing as opposite is spooky unless of course the two hands are using different pressure. I don’t believe the coins or waves decided because I believe there is more to it. It’s so interesting 🧐 and more research is needed. I really like your videos. It celebrates our discoveries and let’s everyone see what is happening. Thank you so much ❤

    Absolutely fantastic! I'm not an intelligent man but was able to follow the video and was metaphorically on the edge of my seat the entire time. Thank you for the education!

    What a phenomenal documentary. So basically my eyes don’t exist until I can see them but yet I use them to see everything else that doesn’t exist. Something more must be at play here, can’t simply be the act of observation that relinquishes all other possibilities.

      Good catch! Sometimes I feel eyes have something to do with black holes. Am probably way off, just a gut feeling.

      The observer is consciousness. The eyes along with all other senses are instruments that consciousness uses to experience physical reality. In other words, the wave function doesn’t collapse because of your eyes since your eyes are also a wave function. Consciousness transcends space and time and all matter. A blind person can still be conscious of the ground even if he cannot see it.
