    The understanding of this material doesn't really come from one video, it comes from watching a whole bunch of them, listening to all their perspectives, and then slowly merging together a coherent interpretation. It's very exciting! Thank you for producing your videos and adding perspective to this problem.

      Yep, THE HUMAN MIND tries to simplify things so it can run with it trying to convince other HUMAN MINDS in order to "conspire" again its CREATOR. The analogy to it would be a PC (HUMAN MIND) trying to outsmart a Quantum Computer (GOD - THE THING THAT CREATED THE HUMAN MIND FOR HIS PURPOSE) You need the PC and the QC - but it should be clear by now which one reigns supreme! Which one IS still without the other and which one cannot exist without the other!

      And everything is just theory. Not proven to be absolute truth even the proving that Neils was right. Thats not an absolute proof. It just supports the Likelihood that Einsten was wrong.
      Also, entanglement implies info can travel faster than light. In fact, instantly in the absolute sense

      Here is what happens: regardless of what Alice measures, if Bob measures in the direction Q+, the result can only be Q+ or Q-. There is no intermediary state possible. It has to be aligned to the direction of measurement. But, depending on the measurement that Alice makes, it affects the probability of Bob registering one Q+ or Q-.
      Since Alice measured Z+, Bobs electron would want to be Z-. But since it can only be Q+/- and since Q+ is further apart from Z- than Q-, it has a much lower probability (only 15%) of happening, because it would have to "change" it's momentum a lot more than for Q-.

  • @avriselig1957
    @avriselig1957 2 роки тому

    Dear Arvin,
    This is a really good 'simple' representation of the EPR paradox and Bell's inequality violated in QM. A few things remain unclear to me (very most likely due to my lack of thinking/ understanding). But first about my background:
    I studied physics and was fascinated by QM the first time I learned about QM. I asked my professor at that time some more background info and he gave me the EPR paradox as an exercise. I concluded that the spin information travels faster than light, which I knew was in violation with special relativity. That was back in 1976. I left it for what it was, finished my studies, did a PhD in nuclear physics and almost the rest of my working career was on (satellite instrumentation for) remote sensing of atmospheric composition for which I was program leader at SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research for almost 20 years.
    Now, after my retirement I wanted to pick up where I left in 1976 and found your video on UA-cam.
    My questions and remarks to your excellent video presentation:
    - 1. The fundamental one in the EPR 'Gedankenexperiment': If you measure spin up (in any direction) for photon-1, then you know - preserving of total angular momentum - instantaneously that photon-2 must have the opposite spin (after all, the total angular momentum was 0). That is valid both in hidden variable theory (where the spin direction of the particles was known from their creation) and in QM (where both particles have all the spin direction simultaneously until you perform a measurement . So what is so special here?
    - 2. The double slit experiment for the particle-wave duality of the photon: You actually mention the case of a single photon where you end up with one hit on the screen, which is nothing special. I think it would be better to explain it the following way: If a photon resolves to a point on the screen (that only applies to very low intensity sources so that you can indeed speak of single photons) the measurement is when the photon hits the screen. Thus, in QM, intensifying the photon beam the experiment should give different outcomes, i.e. the photons not necessarily always hit the screen at the same place. And indeed they don't. Slowly intensify the beam will result in hits on the screen forming the well known interference pattern of a wave.
    - 3. Arithmetic in your example of Bell's inequality when comparing hidden variables theory (HVT) (linear) and QM (sinsqr): something is not right there: if angle (Z, Q) = 90 degrees, then you actually have angle (Z, X); and we have seen that in HVT P (Z+, X+) = 1/4 and not 0.5 what am I doing wrong?? In QM, story is correct: sin2(Z, Q)/2) = sin2(90)/2) = 0.5.
    Looking forward to your explanation!
    Kind regards,
    Avri Selig, the Netherlands

    • @avriselig1957

      This is sad news. Even more sad is that I am months too late to do anything about it.
      Because I am afraid that Arvin's conclusion is utterly wrong. Or.... at the very least utterly unfounded. He shouldn't feel _too_ bad, though, as Bell's Inequalities form what is pretty much the most misunderstood and misappropriated thing in all of Physics.
      You see, the so-called EPR Paradox consists of 2 parts. The central crux of the argument, and the "paradox". Contrary to popular belief _[and by "popular belief", I mean the beliefs of the adherents of Orthodox Quantum Mechanics, which is the modern form of the Copenhagen Interpretation]_ , the central crux was in no way disproven by Bell, nor by the experiments that prove his Inequalities were violated by Quantum Mechanics.
      The central crux of the EPR argument, of course, was that considering Entangled particles exist, the preservation of Locality *requires* Hidden Variables. There is *NOTHING* in Bell's Inequalities that disproves it. Nor could it disprove it, because that argument is pure logic, with no assumptions or any other form of wiggle room to get out of it.
      Now, what John Bell did prove was that there was no paradox. He did this by proving that even *_with_* Hidden Variables, Locality would *_still_* be violated.
      But neither result can make any sense without the other. Because Hidden Variables either exist, or they do not exist, EPR + Bell *TOGETHER* prove that Locality *must* be violated by Entangled Quantum particles.
      It also says precisely *nothing* about whether or not Hidden Variables exist.
      As a side note, Pilot Wave Theory, aka Bohmian Mechanics, which of all Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics makes the non-Locality the most explicit, was the favoured Interpretation of Bell himself for precisely that reason.

    I really like how Arvin Ash explains some obscure concepts in quantum physics. I remember that it always sounded stupid to me that the observer could influence the experiment. I considered it to be any interaction with the experiment that affects it. I found the confirmation in an older video of Arvin Ash! Now I really liked the explanation for entangled particles, that they are part of the same probability wave. I didn't come up with that myself, but it sounds logical, as much as it is possible in quantum physics. It can't be more than that, because we're still investigating the laws, not the reasons (if that's ever possible). Hello Arvin, keep it up!

    Or the entangled pair only look to be far apart, but really the space between them is folded in a way we cant tell and they are really right next to us like some type of worm hole when they fold a piece of paper, in all the science fiction movies to explain worm holes.
    Was wondering if there was a way to tell when someone on the other side of the universe has measured the entangled pair? Could something be used to detect that he has measured it? but only after the person on the other end has measured it?
    That way you can have multiple boxes with an entangled pair, that you do not measure, but the person on the other end, measures only certain boxes. then dependent on your end, the ones that he measured signal to you a certain combination, therefore communicating something. ?

    There's something wrong with the inequality assertion. Assuming hidden variables, it asserts that Bob measuring positive Q is 50/50 when Alice measures positive Z right? I'm sure that assertion is incorrect to begin with. Let's expand this a little and give each particle a normalized angular momentum vector [X,Z], they're hidden variables after all so let's give them real values. Now, someone tell me how to calculate Q from that vector. It's not just midway between X and Z is it? No.

    • @dropdatabase8224
      @dropdatabase8224 4 роки тому +2

      I was about to type a knee-jerk rebuttal to this when I thought about it. It's not quite as simple as a regular normal vector but essentially you're right. To get a 50% split, the 45 degree rotation Q would have to be taken from a linear ramp from X to Z, but this change is not linear, if it were it would violate the normalization. it's sinusoidal. That's easy to visualize, an X and Z value of both 1/root2 gives a Q of 1.0 NOT a Q of 1/root2 as would be the case for a linear change. In fact exactly the same rate of change is required as is used by QM, sin2(pi/8). This can't be right, someone would have spotted the error by now surely. It would mean that hidden variables actually has exactly the same result probability as QM.

    • @gamecoolguy619

      Every physicist does this even Einstein did this where he use the speed of causality to disprove the theory. Even though they are x away from each other where x > c they were orginaly together hence they could be linked and just as the expansion of space does not break causality this does not either as the information is the whole wave function (or whatever you want to call it).
      However if it was the case where there is no entanglement and it is an illusion than it would be that at the start the particles were given the state f(x) and -f(x). This way no matter when you measure (or when you don't they will always be opposite). What f(x) is not known as it currently stands but the proof in the video with it being a straight line was just placed out there using probability of the previous example which has no relation to this.
      In a deterministic model there will never be a probability just formulas to calculate values based on the inputs, so this was obviously not a valid proof to disprove determinism...

The emission and collection of energy from dipole aerials is presumably understood. Can the energy quanta of photons be just the energy levels of the electrons in the atoms emitting and collecting them? I believe Schrodinger ended up thinking there may only be waves. The inequality seems to come from the assumption there is a particle somewhere.

  • @RWin-fp5jn
    @RWin-fp5jn 4 роки тому

    Arvin, you are by far the best science communicator on the web out there. That said, Einstein was not entirely incorrect with respect to quantum entanglement. What he simply failed to see (as did his peers after him), is that there is perfect symmetry in physics between Energy and (inversed) Space, NOT Mass. In spacetime it is Space that forms the grid. Yet at the subatomic scale (sub Planck rather) it is Energy that forms the grid (we already express electron orbit distances in eV's). By sheer logic also Mass and Time then need to swap in their continuum function of Clock and Inertia. Both setups are however valid! As such 'quantum' entanglement is simply 'energetic locality' meaning we have two particles with the same energy (spin) values in three directions and which are present at the same 'mass' moment. They can thus influence each other instantly, regardless of the amount of spatial distance between them. This is precisely symmetric to 'spatial locality': Here we have two particles with the same SPATIAL values in all three directions at the same 'time moment' allowing them to influence each other regardless of 'Energetic' distance. See the perfect symmetry?
    Now the entire misconception that has been going on for 100 years is that we we interpret E=MC2 wrongly. Yes it is a mathematically correct equation, but it does not mean E and M are fundamentally 'equivalent' any more than Space and Time are equivalent in the formula of Distance (space) =Time*Speed. So what does E=MC2 stand for? Well if you swap Energy with Space and Time with Mass in the spacetime movement formula above, it becomes: E=M*E/M or E=M*[Nm/kg=m2/s2=C2] . So E=MC2 is actually the movement formula at the sub atomic (sub Planck) Scale. We know this to be true, because of two observations:
    1. When looking at nuclear fusion, the separating distance of two hydrogen core right before merging becomes so small (smaller than the Planck scale) that indeed we must see the movement equation on the sub atomic scale start to dominate. And we know E=MC2 emerges.
    2. Quantum leaps in atoms. Here we KNOW it does not take TIME to move one electron form one SPATIAL location to the other. Rather it takes MASS (relativistic mass of an incoming photon) to (time instantly!) move the 'electron' from one ENERGY location to another.
    3. We can now also explain 'particle wave' duality. It is not true that particles at the subatomic scale are everywhere at the same time. What we see is the ENERGY of a particle spread out in the subatomic world. Why? because ENERGY forms the spiraled grid a the subatomic scale! So Energy is a PARTICLE property in our ST continuum , but it is the GRID inside the sub atomic continuum. Thats all there is to it. Again, QM is a good mathematical approximation, but fundamentally we are looking at a dual (orthogonal) setting of our continuum...

Since the result that Alice gets from measuring particle 1 is completely random, and the result that Bob gets, from his perspective, is also completely random. And since the two can not communicate each others' results to each other faster than light, no communication of information can happen faster than light. Also, the randomness of the results precludes one from somehow manipulating the result to communicate instantaneously to the other.
