      I traveled about 350 miles from West Texas to Dallas to view the eclipse. Unfortunately, instead of remaining in Dallas proper for the eclipse, I chose to (try to) view it from SouthFork Ranch in Parker, TX, where the exterior footage of the home life of the famous TV show "Dallas" took place. The clouds let us view all of the eclipse EXCEPT for totality, as the thicker clouds decided to start rolling over the view of the sun just about 5 minutes before totality began, and then they got thinner again just after totality!! I was SO bummed!!! The midday darkness was really neat, but to be denied a view of the best part felt rather cruel, especially when people in Dallas proper apparently got to view totality, esp from the Cotton Bowl. Oh, well, it's neat to have the memory of being just a few feet from the famous SouthFork house during the eclipse, and then I got to tour it afterwards!

Traveling is not an option, we're stuck. I live in Texas where we were expecting complete cloud cover. To say I was disappointing would be an understatement, as I would have to wait a long 20 years that I don't know if I could make it to, for the next American eclipse. So for me, this could very well be the only eclipse I see. And I am extremely grateful the clouds stayed away before the end of totality.

I as a poor person living on very low income have that restriction and did not even get to travel for this one so only saw a partial, but Neil is rather wealthy compared to me. Even poor I was planning to travel but had medical reasons to stay here. A cat scan was more important at this time.

    I live in Springfield MO and we were just north of the best viewing possible, its nice that all mankind could rally together for a moment and just "be" and nothing else mattered for those few minutes, I think thats what I'm going to remember most. Side note, I love this man, he (along with his colleagues) opened my mind in ways that my young closed minded religious self never could have imagined, thank you so very much I can never thank you enough for setting me free. ❤

    April 8th, my Solar Eclipse watch birthday 🎉🎉🎉 I wasn't in the path, looking at the partial solar eclipse from Florida. Me and my daughter saw it through the eclipse shades that arrived just in time from Amazon.
    My son, his wife and my grandsons viewed it from Georgia. It was AMAZING to know we viewed this once in a lifetime Totality, though we weren't in the path of it.

    Pretty much every time you see Neil, he is aware of being in front of a camera or a crowd and his mannerisms and manner of speech is different. To see him talk and share when he’s not “aware” of the camera, and to see his emotion and excitement is really cool to see.

    Is it physics-ly possible to teleport?

    • @gzenkner
      @gzenkner 27 днів тому +1

      Superposition is one of the fundamental concepts of quantum physics, which suggests that a quantum system can exist in multiple states at the same time, until it is observed and its wave function is "delivered" to a particular state. O emaranhamento é outro fenômeno intrigante da física quântica, onde duas partículas se tornam interligadas de tal forma que o estado de uma está instantaneamente relacionado ao estado da outra, independentemente da distância entre elas.
      Agora, sobre o teletransporte na física quântica: ao contrário do que muitas vezes é retratado na ficção científica, o teletransporte quântico não envolve a desmaterialização e rematerialização de objetos ou pessoas. Em vez disso, é um processo pelo qual as informações sobre o estado quântico de uma partícula são transmitidas de um local para outro, sem que a própria partícula viaje no espaço entre eles.
      Isso é possível graças ao fenômeno do emaranhamento quântico. Quando duas partículas estão emaranhadas, mudar o estado de uma imediatamente afeta o estado da outra, independentemente da distância entre elas. Isso permite que informações sejam transmitidas de uma partícula para outra, mesmo que estejam separadas por grandes distâncias.
      No entanto, é importante notar que o teletransporte quântico ainda está em estágios muito experimentais e é usado principalmente em laboratórios para transmitir informações quânticas, como qubits em computação quântica e criptografia quântica, em vez de objetos macroscópicos. Além disso, mesmo que o estado quântico de uma partícula possa ser teletransportado dessa maneira, a partícula original ainda precisa ser transportada fisicamente para o local de destino para reconstruir completamente o sistema.

    Wow Dr. Tyson I am I'm tears. I cried when the solar eclipse actually happened too. I just felt so grateful to be able to be a part of such an amazing cosmic event. And you always make things so much more interesting and more valuable. I also realized we may not have been in the same state because I was in Ohio. But I was on the same earth as you were when that happened. I know it may not have been exactly the same time and maybe even a few hours apart. But I still got to watch the same cosmic event that Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson did. And that was something amazing I'm itself.

    We saw it 12 miles to the wast of Killeen, TX. The clouds broke up so we saw most of the partial phases and all of totality. I used my Celestron 8” scope with my Canon EOS Ra camera. I got over 1500 photos through all the phases plus photos with my Sony a7ii, my Canon 60Da, and my Fujifilm XS-20. I prayed to god that it would clear up and it did. I never put on my eclipse glasses because I was to busy taking photos. I definitely looked at it when it was total. Oh, what the heck I am from Krypton. Lol.

      I traveled about 350 miles from Midland/Odessa to Dallas to view the eclipse. Unfortunately, instead of remaining in Dallas proper for the eclipse, I chose to (try to) view it from SouthFork Ranch in Parker, where the exterior footage of the home life of the famous TV show "Dallas" took place. The clouds let us view all of the eclipse EXCEPT for totality, as the thicker clouds decided to start rolling over the view of the sun just about 5 minutes before totality began, and then they got thinner again just after totality!! I was SO bummed!!! The midday darkness was really neat, but to be denied a view of the best part felt rather cruel, especially when you all in Dallas proper got to view totality. Oh, well, it's neat to have the memory of being just a few feet from the famous SouthFork house during the eclipse, and then I got to tour it afterwards!
