I’ve heard the opposite version of the speeding Heisenberg joke. The cop pulls him over and says, “Do you realize you were going 60 MPH in a 40 MPH zone?” He flustered and replied: “Darn! Now I have no idea where I am.”
In another version Schrodinger's in the car with Heisenberg. The cop tells them to get out of the car and checks the trunk. He asks them "Do you know there's a dead cat in the trunk?" To which Schrödinger replies "Well now I do."

Yeah, Sean is the real thing. I suspect there are only a dozen public facing scientists that understand physics as deeply as he does. I was actually surprised at how little Neil seemed to know about QM and its history. I realize it’s not his field (no pun intended), but it a prerequisite to understanding The Standard Model. Anyway, the thing I really like about Sean is that he’s not sloppy in his verbal explanations the way some educators can be-Brian Greene, I’m looking at you. I’m grateful that him and Lenny have tried to elevate popular physics to include basic mathematical descriptions. After reading his Big Ideas books, you won’t be able to solve any of the equations physcists use, but I think it’s fair to say that even without a physics background, so long as you read carefully, you will have deeply internalized the very basic mathematical concepts, which paints a slightly more precise picture about how we know what we know. But it’s not a textbook, you will absolutely not be able to calculate Feynman diagrams via coupling constants. But you will know what Feynman diagrams are, and you will no longer think of particles as tiny marbles, and you’ll know why we don’t think that anymore. All of his popular books are great. He’s a very clear writer. Can’t wait for the third book on complexity and emergence.
@@nylonstringninja There are so many questions that we cannot yet answer, and we hope that quantum computers will help us solve them in the future.

One thing non-scientist people constantly forget about when it comes to observing tiny things like electrons and subatomic particles is that, since they are so tiny, observing them isn't like observing a ball being thrown through space. You can look at the ball as it flies around and it keeps fllying forward, because in order to observe it you don't have to interact with it in any destructive or damaging way. But in order to observe an electron, due to its tiny size, there's no way to repeatedly bounce photons of the same one electron to create pictures of its motion, because that same photon you used to observe it now becomes a part of it and it changes it's properties. For the detection to happen, the electron needs to be absorbed or deflected or destroyed in some way in order for the detector to get a singular blip of data. Once you do that - once you know a single quality of the observed electron at the single moment of its observation - it's original properties are unobservably gone. If you put your detector in a singular point of space, you can measure the energy of electron it has in that point in that one moment, but not its other properties for which you need to see it in motion. At the other hand, if you set your experiment to observe electrons in motion, guided or deflected by magnetic fields for example, once they pass through that carefuly set up area of space, they are free to go anywhere in any way. There's no way to measure these particles in a way that doesn't influences them. So our limitation here is the same as it is for a blind and deaf person who is trying to figure out how flying golf balls work. They could have one ball in hand and learn its properties by touch, but know nothing about other balls flying around them and where they come from, or they can be hit by the ball and know the direction and energy that one ball had at the moment of impact, but not where it went after or what its surface felt like.
This is a classical description of uncertainty, quantum says it's deeper than that - fundamentally, even if you could measure its position and momentum with 0 interaction between detector and particle, there is still going to be a variance of order ihbar. Position and momentum are fundamentally incompatible. Why? I have no clue but that's the theory that seems to make the right predictions.
I love how much Chuck has picked up over the years. I’m jumping back in to Star Talk after MANY years away. I listened regularly in like 2012 or so. His jokes have gotten so much smarter and he clearly is so well versed in the topic now. It really elevates the experience. Fractal joke? Come on! Chuck, you rock!
the way Chuck learned so much, and then incorporated all this insight and knowledge in his sense of humor is incredible and so unique! his input and jokes get funnier & smarter on so many levels with time, and we really get to see how deeply philosophical his view of the world is (but he is also so humble about it). I grew to love him so much!!
@@justayoutuber1906 wrong, he said there is a bonus discussion but those are about 3-5 minutes. the podcasts ends abruptly because of a technical glitch there was only 1 minute remaining

Sean Carroll needs to be cherished and protected at all costs. This man has always inspired me to learn and the way he communicates science is just beautiful.
This episode scratched every itch I had on these topics. I always find myself shouting questions at the TV when these topics come up and I think every one of them was asked and answered during this episode. I guarantee I'll be responsible for a couple hundred views on this video alone.

Just at the beginning of the video, but from the title I already know it's going to be a mind spinner. I had the opportunity to ask a famous theoretical physicist a question, which was "Quantum physics is so difficult to wrap my head around. Could you give a brief explanation that would help me understand, or at least begin to understand ?" He replied "If someone tells you they understand quantum physics and tries to explain it to you, walk away, they are wasting your time and will leave you more confused than you were to begin with". He then told me some of the 'oddities' involved after which I now fully believe that the human brain is not capable of fully understanding it.
Unbelievable! I never knew these two have never appeared together for an extended talk given the plethora of platforms with every celebrated accomplished scientist speaking to other equally accomplished peer.s..what a treat!
@@User4567u8 You have to be a scientist to be a good communicator. What you mean maybe is that he is probably not a researcher if he has ever been (i have no idea about that).

I'd love for you to have Cal Tech's Chuck Steidel, MacAuthor, fellowship winner in astronomy. When we last spoke, he was looking at the furthers edges of the known galaxy. It would be a fascinating discussion.
Sean Carroll is by far my favorite physicist alive. His videos, books and podcasts are what took my interest in physics from a curiosity to a career choice that I’m actively pursuing.
an explanation of the double slit experiment results. electrons as waves. that'll do for me for now :) certainly is interesting to explore and ponder the unknown. i enjoyed your discussions. thanks.
Funnily enough in an alternate universe or I think "The curious cases of Rutherford and Fry(another great science program) I heard: A cop pulls Heisenberg over and says do you know you were going 90 miles an hour sir and Heisenberg says Damn! Now I'm lost.
This podcast was like pineapple on pizza, but in a good way. I loved it. Making the effort to listen to these concepts, knowing that you will have a chance to laugh at any moment, is very relieving and entertaining
Awesome talk. Love Sean Carroll, he truly wants you to understand. 💙 He doesn't try to confuse you with too many words saying nothing. Man I love Chuck and Neil's chemistry 😄
Sean Carroll and Brian Greene are the only S-tier guests. Others are great, but these guys are truly a league above. Highly recommend their books, too, their pop-sci ones are very accessible and engaging. The audio versions are narrated by the authors themselves, too!
First time I thought free will might not exist was the realization that where we are born and the genetics we inherit - two things we have no control over - play a huge role in who we become.
Recently someone explained that the Higgs boson is a segment of the Higgs field. The electron is not the same segment? But what field? If every particle was like the Higgs Boson, then they are a slice of space and time, I don't see any other option. Particles are simply slices of different fields, photons are slices of the electromagnetic field, which makes sense. Is there anyone here who knows what it's like? Because it seems that this explains what this dually corpuscular thing called particles is.
I really enjoy Startalk because of all the interesting people featured. When you add Chuck Nice it is a total bonus. You all really enjoy doing the show.

Neil, I love you, I really do, and I understand the desire to keep it light and conversational with mirth and comedic relief (Chuck Nice is legit funny). But PLEASE stop interrupting your guests when they're speaking, ESPECIALLY when they're in the middle of an interesting insight. Neil isn't the only one guilty of this, TONS of science podcasters do this and it really irks me because it knocks the guest off his/her train of thought and sometimes leads to tangents that don't resolve whatever the original question was. Just a small criticism. Some podcasts Neil doesn't do this much and the flow is excellent (e.g. Brian Greene), others (like this one with Sean Carroll), he does it enough that it's noticeable. Sean Carroll is a great guest and one of the FEW science communicators who's also pretty well versed in philosophy which makes his insights far more multifaceted than most physicists. Love the show, but let them speak uninterrupted please!
How do you check to make sure two particles are entangled? Because as soon as one particle is measured, the connection is broken and the second particle can do what ever it wants from that point onwards.
Quantum mechanics is a bit mind boggling. At the moment, it is where I was with black holes 40 years ago. Another observation. Chuck is a great comedian and adds a lot to the podcasts. He's pretty smart too.

It's kinda weird, because from what I'm hearing : - Entanglement simply means that elements (I'll call particle/fields that way) are affected by one another, and they risk losing that entanglement each time they interact with another element because each new interaction reduces the effect of the original entanglement. Although I'll probably go back to this later. - Quantum physics seem to say that fields are going to interact with each other as fields of probability for as long as they can, until an observer sets which probability is real in this world. The consciousness hypothesis then makes sense as in our consciousness can only exist in a single world, and so it is that consciousness that sets which world we exist in. - However, and here's I'm gonna go on a little hypothesis of my own, it could be possible that the fields of probability still exist even once we set the world we live, because all the worlds all exist within the same space, and that is what Dark matter and Dark energy is : the fields of all the probabilities that didn't occur in our world, still interacting with all the other fields. Essentially, our cousciousness only allows us to see a single world even though multiple exist simultaneously. - Finally, on the topic of free will, while I do believe we're just really fancy organic computers, what I said just above would indicate that "free will" is in fact our ability to choose which world we want to live in, and although there are multiple worlds out there with versions of us that chose those worlds, this cousciousness of ours chose this world specifically to live in, and that is our free will. I'm probably wrong, especially on that second to last one, but that's what I understood from this x).

Sean Carroll is the most articulate ambassador of QM/QFT alive today. I'm privileged to have shared some time and Hilbert Space (TM) with this man.
Although if he's right there are dark corners of the Hilbert Space where he does not become a physicist at all. Presumably.

He is one of the biggest public proponents of the many worlds interpretation.

But in order to observe an electron, due to its tiny size, there's no way to repeatedly bounce photons of the same one electron to create pictures of its motion, because that same photon you used to observe it now becomes a part of it and it changes it's properties. For the detection to happen, the electron needs to be absorbed or deflected or destroyed in some way in order for the detector to get a singular blip of data. Once you do that - once you know a single quality of the observed electron at the single moment of its observation - it's original properties are unobservably gone. If you put your detector in a singular point of space, you can measure the energy of electron it has in that point in that one moment, but not its other properties for which you need to see it in motion. At the other hand, if you set your experiment to observe electrons in motion, guided or deflected by magnetic fields for example, once they pass through that carefuly set up area of space, they are free to go anywhere in any way. There's no way to measure these particles in a way that doesn't influences them. So our limitation here is the same as it is for a blind and deaf person who is trying to figure out how flying golf balls work. They could have one ball in hand and learn its properties by touch, but know nothing about other balls flying around them and where they come from, or they can be hit by the ball and know the direction and energy that one ball had at the moment of impact, but not where it went after or what its surface felt like.
This is a classical description of uncertainty, quantum says it's deeper than that - fundamentally, even if you could measure its position and momentum with 0 interaction between detector and particle, there is still going to be a variance of order ihbar. Position and momentum are fundamentally incompatible. Why? I have no clue but that's the theory that seems to make the right predictions.
How about waiting till decay takes place, then just track where its been in reverse.
I love how much Chuck has picked up over the years. I’m jumping back in to Star Talk after MANY years away. I listened regularly in like 2012 or so. His jokes have gotten so much smarter and he clearly is so well versed in the topic now. It really elevates the experience. Fractal joke? Come on! Chuck, you rock!
💯
Chuck is nice, too!
Nah, he chuck, rock is the other one
That intro was so good I am on the edge of my seat and feel like a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons. Hopefully I am also in this World!
You are, I think.
@@markedly1013I think; therefore you are!
the way Chuck learned so much, and then incorporated all this insight and knowledge in his sense of humor is incredible and so unique! his input and jokes get funnier & smarter on so many levels with time, and we really get to see how deeply philosophical his view of the world is (but he is also so humble about it). I grew to love him so much!!
I'm not happy with the length of this podcast, why is it short?
They are trying to force you into paying for it
Would’ve happily enjoyed if it was at 1.5hrs 😂
I wouldn’t mind it so much if they didn’t jump to so many different subjects but we’re only getting like 10 minutes of discussion per idea.
@@justayoutuber1906 wrong, he said there is a bonus discussion but those are about 3-5 minutes. the podcasts ends abruptly because of a technical glitch there was only 1 minute remaining
The length is relative lol
I highly recommend the Mindscape podcast. Start with one of the AMAs. It's 3 to 4 hours of Sean and his big brain answering our dumb questions! (they are actually very good questions, "dumb" is relative!
Sean Carroll's Mindscape podcast is superb, with him speaking to a different academic each episode on good mindbending things.
Discovered him falling asleep while listening to star talk then all of the sudden I wake up to this golden voice talking about quantum entanglement lol
The only thing I hate is the music...haha....as a semi-musician, his podcast music drives me bananas....
Never knew this pod existed. Thank you for sharing!!
I'd pay money to spend 30 mins with these two and ask lots of questions.
you know why i love this cannel is that it makes me laugh, focus, sleep, awake, confused, curious and more superpositionally😂
Now this is a conversation I've been waiting for for a long, long time.....
Edit: 19:32 - They're going up there to test non-direct contact through entangled particles... They're closer than we know.
Me too, and I asked in the comments of the talk with Brian Greene who would be next, Sean Carroll? SO imagine my surprise
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334- Nice... I love when Neil has on guests like this because it's always a source of something that will blow your mind, and this one didn't disappoint. 👏👏
How ... would that work ? lol. What does the far side of the moon have to do with this non-direct contact????
...why wouldn't they just take a flight around the world? Or put a sheet of paper between the entangled particles?
Unless you left out some significant context your statement doesn't make any sense
@@jameshughes6078 oath and all these people liking it with zero clue what is being said. Kinda like 99% of JP fan base.
Sean Carroll needs to be cherished and protected at all costs. This man has always inspired me to learn and the way he communicates science is just beautiful.
As a proud Pete Carroll protector and cherisher. I will include Sean into my Carroll care program.
This episode scratched every itch I had on these topics. I always find myself shouting questions at the TV when these topics come up and I think every one of them was asked and answered during this episode. I guarantee I'll be responsible for a couple hundred views on this video alone.
Mark Twain also predicted that, since Haley's Comet showed up the year he was born, he would die the year it returned. He was right.
You know what I find is great? That even a child who has limited resources or options in this world we live in can listen to podcasts like this and gain a base understanding of topics like this. And they can be learning on a weekly basis.
I love the way Sean breaks everything down. Y'alls convos are always great 👍
Brian Greene and Sean Carroll; my two faves in the same month! LFG!!!
This is my favorite startalk episode yet.
This format with other scientists, or philosophers, is much more educational that the common format of questions from patreons.
Sean Carroll is such a genius, and so under appreciated.
I'd love to hear Neil and Sabine Hossenfelder should discuss super determinism.
Yes
00:16:10 Neil throwing that subliminal quantum physicist shade on sean with a Mark Twain refrence, the face of Sean got me weak! 💀
I wish there was a world where I could observe the three of you talk for days at a time.
This is the best explanation of Schroedinger’s cat by far. I feel like I finally understand the whole thing.
That thumbnail had me thinking Tony Hawk was on the show 😅😂
Wonderful discussion with Dr Carroll here. More people need to understand how fascination such high level science can be.
One thing I love from science, and one thing I love from communication, especially when it comes to great intellectuals sharing their thoughts and their ideas, because when you're listening to this, these things are the words of power of intelligence. Being heard can be able to shape your intelligence and your smart reasoning, bringing your brain and bringing your mind, making your mind to be able to activate the metacognitive power.
ah my 2 favorites in one episode! awesome
Thank you Sean for humanely adjusting the description of the position of the Shroëdinger cat analogy. 😊
Love the "that superposition exists at all times no matter what. It has nothing to do that I looked at it." EXACTLY.
Thank you so much Neil for everything you have ever done! I been watching you since I was a little, I’m 36 years now , thank you for you!
👏👏👏
I was going to watch Bad Boys: Ride Or Die, but instead keep watching Bad Boys: Science Never Die.
I love all your videos..!! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 and Honduras 🇭🇳
Just at the beginning of the video, but from the title I already know it's going to be a mind spinner. I had the opportunity to ask a famous theoretical physicist a question, which was "Quantum physics is so difficult to wrap my head around. Could you give a brief explanation that would help me understand, or at least begin to understand ?" He replied "If someone tells you they understand quantum physics and tries to explain it to you, walk away, they are wasting your time and will leave you more confused than you were to begin with". He then told me some of the 'oddities' involved after which I now fully believe that the human brain is not capable of fully understanding it.
Unbelievable! I never knew these two have never appeared together for an extended talk given the plethora of platforms with every celebrated accomplished scientist speaking to other equally accomplished peer.s..what a treat!
Ive seen to many videos, lectures and books. Still cant understand electrons or QM
Appreciate this show. Much love.
I've been waiting for this 🔥
Sean Caroll has spent days of podcasting on ironing this out. he is a beast
That hurts his research status
Great conversation as usual. Chuck clearly had a natural aptitude for physics.
46:05 idk why that made me laugh so hard 😂 hope to see Sean back on, great episode!
I love StarTalk! Thanks for another amazing episode!
32:08 best moment
💯
You ever wake up and it feels like a different life than you went to sleep in?
Yes, a few times
No.
Not really.
Only every morning 😅
A few times
SOMEBODY please appreciate the Schrodinger's answer at 3:49. The BEST answer-Body language combo possible from a many worlds rep.
Seeing Chuck put things together is the best part of this show. He really knows a lot now
Great interview with Alan Alda
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it.
Omg Ty!!!!! I couldn’t figure it out!!!!! Fuxxing Alan Alda!!
and every now and then, Ed Helms joined in
"The smallest thing can be the biggest idea..." Wish my ex woulda thought that
Be consoled , such a tragic lack of imagination on the other's part is not our doing .
As Richard Feynman once wrote, "there's plenty of room at the bottom."
😂😂
Neil deGrasse Tyson is my favorite scientist, i just love how he can simplify and present information. I wish that one day i might meet him.
I dont think he does science anymore, isnt he a science communicator now
@@User4567u8 You have to be a scientist to be a good communicator. What you mean maybe is that he is probably not a researcher if he has ever been (i have no idea about that).
@@Pyriold yea he used to be a research scientist and published many peer reviewed papers. His last publish was in 2008, but he still co published with others afterwards
“Can you do something about entropy?”
“I can increase is?😅”
Absolute gold😂😂😂
I'd love for you to have Cal Tech's Chuck Steidel, MacAuthor, fellowship winner in astronomy. When we last spoke, he was looking at the furthers edges of the known galaxy. It would be a fascinating discussion.
Just imagine if Neil and Sean were writers on a new Star Trek series
12:23 "It's your personal truth."
🤮
Chuds unite
Sean Carroll is by far my favorite physicist alive. His videos, books and podcasts are what took my interest in physics from a curiosity to a career choice that I’m actively pursuing.
This was such a cool video. First time seeing Sean Caroll with Neil and love the way he speaks. Neil and Chuck are just amazing as usual.
an explanation of the double slit experiment results. electrons as waves. that'll do for me for now :) certainly is interesting to explore and ponder the unknown. i enjoyed your discussions. thanks.
Neil and Chuck: this chap is one of your best guests ever on quantum mechanics. He maked complicated issues understandable to me.
Check out Brian Greene aswell. He really is phenomenal!
Funnily enough in an alternate universe or I think "The curious cases of Rutherford and Fry(another great science program) I heard: A cop pulls Heisenberg over and says do you know you were going 90 miles an hour sir and Heisenberg says Damn! Now I'm lost.
I listen to that on the way home from work.
l love the comedic Value Chuck brings to the conversation
This podcast was like pineapple on pizza, but in a good way. I loved it. Making the effort to listen to these concepts, knowing that you will have a chance to laugh at any moment, is very relieving and entertaining
Awesome talk. Love Sean Carroll, he truly wants you to understand. 💙
He doesn't try to confuse you with too many words saying nothing.
Man I love Chuck and Neil's chemistry 😄
There's a world out there where Neil believes 1x1=2 and contacts Terrance for help only to get told what Neil said in this world.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂You are so Real for this
18:00 Forgot the second part of the joke😂.
Officer: you were going 10 miles over the speed limit
Heisenberg: Oh great! now I’m lost
Sean Carroll and Brian Greene are the only S-tier guests. Others are great, but these guys are truly a league above. Highly recommend their books, too, their pop-sci ones are very accessible and engaging. The audio versions are narrated by the authors themselves, too!
What about our geek in chief? Charles Liu
@@silvershadow013 He’s on so often I almost consider him a regular contributor lol but he’s 100% in the Mount Rushmore of StarTalk as well.
First time I thought free will might not exist was the realization that where we are born and the genetics we inherit - two things we have no control over - play a huge role in who we become.
Recently someone explained that the Higgs boson is a segment of the Higgs field. The electron is not the same segment? But what field? If every particle was like the Higgs Boson, then they are a slice of space and time, I don't see any other option. Particles are simply slices of different fields, photons are slices of the electromagnetic field, which makes sense. Is there anyone here who knows what it's like? Because it seems that this explains what this dually corpuscular thing called particles is.
Underrated podcast
I really enjoy Startalk because of all the interesting people featured. When you add Chuck Nice it is a total bonus. You all really enjoy doing the show.
When Chuck said "the math works , alright johnson?" I almost spit my coffee out my nose.
I’ve been waiting for this one for so long!
im too high to be listening to this at work
I'm an engineer and a bunch of physicists just challenged me to make a quantum entangled fiber optic network..
Watch me bend your laws now...
Sean is my all-time fav physicist
His my uncle

Neil, I love you, I really do, and I understand the desire to keep it light and conversational with mirth and comedic relief (Chuck Nice is legit funny). But PLEASE stop interrupting your guests when they're speaking, ESPECIALLY when they're in the middle of an interesting insight. Neil isn't the only one guilty of this, TONS of science podcasters do this and it really irks me because it knocks the guest off his/her train of thought and sometimes leads to tangents that don't resolve whatever the original question was.
Just a small criticism. Some podcasts Neil doesn't do this much and the flow is excellent (e.g. Brian Greene), others (like this one with Sean Carroll), he does it enough that it's noticeable. Sean Carroll is a great guest and one of the FEW science communicators who's also pretty well versed in philosophy which makes his insights far more multifaceted than most physicists.
Love the show, but let them speak uninterrupted please!
A refreshing take on such a theory-heavy topic, I like how Tyson keeps his childlike curiosity through the podcast.
How do you check to make sure two particles are entangled? Because as soon as one particle is measured, the connection is broken and the second particle can do what ever it wants from that point onwards.
Quantum mechanics is a bit mind boggling. At the moment, it is where I was with black holes 40 years ago.
Another observation. Chuck is a great comedian and adds a lot to the podcasts. He's pretty smart too.
Lots of brainpower going on…

I need an science audiobook from Chuck
Whenever I want to feel less than intelligent, I watch one of these videos. Works every time.
It's kinda weird, because from what I'm hearing :
- Entanglement simply means that elements (I'll call particle/fields that way) are affected by one another, and they risk losing that entanglement each time they interact with another element because each new interaction reduces the effect of the original entanglement. Although I'll probably go back to this later.
- Quantum physics seem to say that fields are going to interact with each other as fields of probability for as long as they can, until an observer sets which probability is real in this world. The consciousness hypothesis then makes sense as in our consciousness can only exist in a single world, and so it is that consciousness that sets which world we exist in.
- However, and here's I'm gonna go on a little hypothesis of my own, it could be possible that the fields of probability still exist even once we set the world we live, because all the worlds all exist within the same space, and that is what Dark matter and Dark energy is : the fields of all the probabilities that didn't occur in our world, still interacting with all the other fields. Essentially, our cousciousness only allows us to see a single world even though multiple exist simultaneously.
- Finally, on the topic of free will, while I do believe we're just really fancy organic computers, what I said just above would indicate that "free will" is in fact our ability to choose which world we want to live in, and although there are multiple worlds out there with versions of us that chose those worlds, this cousciousness of ours chose this world specifically to live in, and that is our free will.
I'm probably wrong, especially on that second to last one, but that's what I understood from this x).
