YES! Finally someone who uses parenthesis! So many people leave them out. As a mathematician, I love that you used parenthesis when you wrote trig. Even text books annoyingly will write sina+b. Is this: 1. sin(a)+b or 2. sin(a+b) Which is it? Plus, trig (and logs) are functions. As such, they should have functional parenthesis as found in f(x).
Yeah. Consistency and clarity are important. Especially since there are so many trig identities to remember that missing parenthesis will shift you from one to the other.
It’s cool but not 100% accurate. Very much a byproduct of Eurocentric education. Everything ancient didn’t begin in “ancient” Greece. He always implies that.
Indeed. Same as Grant does in 3Blue1Brown, this channel explains the most complex material in the most understandable way. It should be mandatory for every graduate textbook writer to watch this channel as they demonstrate great talent to turn simple subjects to horribly intimidating (Somehow I think they do that intentionally though)
They should do some sort of collab 4 videos, just not in the cliche sense.. Grant could REALLY help break down the math and yeah, that would be amazing!!
I teach a Year 12 Physics class in NSW, Australia and I have just recommended that all of my students watch this video in order to clarify their understanding of one of the modules in this course. Your integration of mathematical content is second-to-none! Well done!
Just make sure that you explain to your students that what they are watching here is not proper physics but the science history of a false ontology similar to the phlogiston that is still around, even though we know that it's not correct.
@@sheastewart7608 Wave particle duality is not a physical theory. It's simple bullshit. As MIT's Allan Adams points out: "10^23 electrons don't make waves, they make cheese.". Every bit of matter and radiation in the universe follows the laws of quantum mechanics. There is a near endless amount of variety in those phenomena. What you will never see are particles (I hope you know what a particle is in physics) and waves.
@@sheastewart7608 Yes, but why does it matter that I am a physicist? That still doesn't help you with your problem: you aren't smart enough to outgrow a trivial false dichotomy fallacy.
Quantum Light (h) is a dualistic quantum particle that in the cosmic vacuum can fly at a constant speed (c=1). In this movement, light uses its linear spin and it does not produce electromagnetic waves. Light behaves like a corpuscular. But light can behave like a wave if it uses its angular rotation (the torque required to accelerate angularly around the axis of rotation). In this situation, the speed of the light is faster than the constant. The speed is c>1. This situation is explained by Lorentz transformations. The problem is that we do not know the geometric shape of the light quantum.
I'm late for this party, I know. but as a Chemist that loves Physics, and has been taking way more Physics' classes than needed, it's such a happy and heartwarming thing to see a video that combines both of my favorite areas of science being release on my birthday!!
So glad that you have posted a new video! I have been checking every week for the last month in the hope that you had not disappeared! Please keep the videos coming :-)
The way you conbine the history and the science is top notch. Makes a very seeminly esoteric subject much more grounded in reality and therefore more engaging.
As someone who studies on their own simply for the love of it; you're amazing. You explain things well, in a language that is simple to understand. Fantastic video!!
Also completely wrong. There are no particles and many quanta don't make waves. They make cheese. And tungsten metal cubes. And a copy of "Gone with the Wind". And an infinity of other solids, liquids, gases, plasmas etc.. ;-)
I put your videos on to fall asleep to. Not because they’re boring, I put them on audio only and imagine everything you’re saying and it helps me fall asleep so much faster. Thank you for these videos
Some of these videos the guys talk so fast your brain can't keep up. This speaker uses great pacing and pauses along with the diagrams conducive to learning. Enjoyed this video.
This channel is a physicist treasure trove. The best physics educator on this platform. I fell in love with physics due to my fascination with the nature of light; this video, with its masterful methods of instruction and display of ideas and formulae takes me back to that initial moment of wonder and joy. I can't thank you enough!!
awsome videos and yuo have a special gift in the way you explain the subjects. I regret my English is not good enough to express how much I apprciate your work. thanks for keeping uploading
This is at exactly the level of detail I'm looking for. Most science channels once found are presented either like a PhD in physics where it's too detailed to follow, or like a museum tour on the history of science which is interesting but mostly useless.
What a huge amount of effort in a single video, thank you very much for uploading these, it’s truly great to be taken back through the derivations I brushed over during my undergraduate learning, and approach these topics from your unique perspective. Thanks!
My man, you are going to reach a million subscribers easily... Best physics channel on UA-cam hands down. You are the only one that actually explain things in detail and with math, without trying to dumb things down or make everything quick for the short attention span kids to be happy. Keep it up!!!
This is truly a stupendous explanation, the best I’ve ever come across yet. No other presentation made it so clear that the crux of the probabilistic (Born) interpretation of the electron’s wave function originates in the relationship between the intensity of (any) wave and the square of its amplitude. If one doesn’t know that (from classical physics) the whole thing remains somewhat mysterious. That “analogy” was the theoretical leap in De Broglie’s mind that really needed highlighting, and you do just that. No wonder that Einstein himself was awed by De Broglie’s insight. It was then a matter of dotting the i’s and crossing thet’s for Max Born to add, almost as a post-scriptum: Oh and by the way the square of the amplitude of the quantum wavefunction Psi represents the probability of finding the particle if we look for it. Thanks for this very pedagogical and enlightening exposition. All teachers of physics and the students they teach will be able to benefit from it.
So glad to see you back brother! I was starting to get worried :P you are the best science channel on this site btw, you always deliver really detailed and very interesting content
I have to admit that this channel is so fantastic, you leave me with no words, please continue making videos in this kind of style, they take things to another level of depth.

Wonderful video! It's always a blast watching you take us on an adventure through the history of physics. The historical context often makes it much easier for me to remember what is what, and why it is that way.
Thank you vey much,this is probably the most beautiful video that ive seen on youtube ever probably,i just realised how connected everything was due to the historical aspect you present in this video.Everything now is more clear than ever and now i hope to study everything more deeply with a better understanding.
Thank you very much, with your video you have done a great job (just like all the other ones you made!), also looking forward to that Schrödinger video. For most videos, I knew the basic results, but never the intensity of context and collaboration which went into making those discoveries possible, and I think that's one of the most unique things your channel highlights.
I feel like when QM is taught nowadays there's nowhere near enough emphasis given to how we came up with it in the first place. Not by saying "this guy studied that other guy's notes and they all magically had the answer" but by presenting the whole series of discoveries since we've started looking, step by step, just like this video does
That's science history and not science. What that does for you is to reinforce mistakes of other people that were caused by a lack of evidence at that time in your mind. Not a good way of learning actual physics. You can only learn physics properly by starting with the latest set of evidence and then you don't have to go down some of the rabbit holes of the past.
Just found your videos and your laid back yet concise storytelling helps a lot. Really looking forward to your take on the Schrödinger equation. Thanks for refreshing and consolidating QM knowledge! And happy new year! :D
This video reminds me of the videos series by King Crocoduck called "Quantum Theory Made Easy". In it, he presents the history and development of quantum mechanics, explaining the famous physicists' contributions on the way and touching upon the wave-particle duality of light and electrons. The only difference is that he didn't hold his promise to continue with the series, where the next topic would have been on the Schrödinger wave function. I have great hopes that you do
@@PhysicsExplainedVideos As someone who studies physics myself, I really love and admire your videos.

A beautifully presented video. I loved this. ❤️ Your way of blending history and science with neat derivations wherever appropriate makes this truly a gem of a video. In my head, I could see jigsaw pieces neatly falling into place. The idea that the interpretation of the debroglie wavelength lead to the introduction of quantum mechanics blew me away; an absolute "aha" moment!! 🤩 I'm so thrilled that I finally understand what's the motivation behind the introduction of the wavefunction! Thank you so much for this brilliant video. 🥰 Please do keep making more of these. 😊🤝
Brilliant work, I have followed many of your videos and having a srong knowledge in electromagnetics, Maxwell, Stokes, Poisson divergence, gradient, vector potential et al, I could understand 100% of your expose on Schrodinger and Heisenberg equations. Remarkable way of leading the explanation you never loose sight of the relevant points although there are plenty of details. Thank you for your great work!!
I am about to complete my master's, I must say your videos are an easy way for me to revise the essential history of physics. I always love how you mention all the steps and leave nothing to the readers. If you were to become a physicist(if you aren't yet) you will be a really good one. I wish to talk to you, can I personally talk to you?
Love it! I teach high-school IB physics - I can’t wait to recommend you to all my students a colleagues. I’d love to see a series on quantum mechanics, my old text books don’t quite cut it anymore after watching your videos.
The history of wave particle duality ends around the early 1930s. Everything thereafter is merely ignorant people repeating a falsehood because they don't know better.
You did a decent job as far as what we see in our textbooks. The math and model of Quantum Mechanics (QM) is: a probability wave predicts a particle-like event. There is a problem with that. A variant of the double-slit experiment is the beam-split coincidence experiment. In the language of QM and photons, a photon will go one way or another, but not both ways, at a beam splitter. This has been done with visible light and x-rays, seemingly in support of QM. This is the weirdness of QM. What would eliminate the other path? You can see in my published works that quantum physicists are either looking at noise or are doing tricks with polarized beam-splitters. With much work, I performed that beam-split test many times, but in a way no one previously attempted: with gamma-rays and alpha-rays (helium)... hundreds of times and ways. When I compare coincident detection rates with the chance coincident rate, I substantially exceed chance. QM predicts chance would not be exceeded for this test. This flaw of QM is my discovery. There is a way to re-interpret past experiments to see how an accumulation effect and a wave model is at play. For example, people should know that Compton also had a wave model to explain his effect. The conclusion is that a threshold effect can replace quantization. The weirdness disappears. All the details of my experiments and theory are at www.unquantum.net
I love your videos so much - they’re so calming and are one of my favorite things to fall asleep to, as well as obv being super well put-together and informative :]
1:36 The idea that a person's eye produces light is easily disproven every time one enters ad dark room, and it remains dark. Pythagoras should have stuck with what he did best, mathematics. 2:22 Unfortunately for Lucretius, shadows don't have sharp edges, due to a phenomenon we call diffraction. 6:50 Huygen's Wavefront Theory suffers from a fatal flaw. There are numerous interactions, so why does one set take precedence over the others. In other words, one could draw wavefronts is many different directions, 28:00 The electron orbitals are simply three -dimensional harmonic waves. Excellent historical narrative told in a logical, clear, and concise manner. If I were not retired from teaching, I would show this video in my classes.
Huygens is an approximation, so is the level of homogeneous, isotropic (or in case of bi-refringence polarization dependent) Maxwell optics that we are teaching at the university level. Are you complaining that we aren't throwing thousand page textbooks on the most general case of classical light-matter interaction at high school students???? Why? Do all students in high school need to learn how to write a CGI rendering engine that can correctly render a pearl? What for? So they will learn to hate science even more than they already do? Electron orbitals are not "simple three-dimensional harmonic waves". You may want to talk to a fellow retired chemistry teacher about that. If his students write that sentence in a test, he would have to fail them. :-)

A variant of the double-slit experiment is the beam-split coincidence experiment. In the language of QM and photons, a photon will go one way or another, but not both ways, at a beam splitter. This has been done with visible light and x-rays, seemingly in support of QM. This is the weirdness of QM. What would eliminate the other path? You can see in my published works that quantum physicists are either looking at noise or are doing tricks with polarized beam-splitters. With much work, I performed that beam-split test many times, but in a way no one previously attempted: with gamma-rays and alpha-rays (helium)... hundreds of times and ways. When I compare coincident detection rates with the chance coincident rate, I substantially exceed chance. QM predicts chance would not be exceeded for this test. This flaw of QM is my discovery. There is a way to re-interpret past experiments to see how an accumulation effect and a wave model is at play. For example, people should know that Compton also had a wave model to explain his effect. The conclusion is that a threshold effect can replace quantization. The weirdness disappears. All the details of my experiments and theory are at www.unquantum.net
Awesome job. Hats off. Waiting eagerly for ur next assignment.
Very well explained. Don't stop, thanks for the Newton perspective. Never knew calculated that.
And this my friends show just how Metal Newton was. what an absolute mental UNIT! Unparalleled in modern times.
Once more thank you for this lectures. Cheers from Canada
Very interesting and informative. Thank you for the in-depth video 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent explanation of this complex matter!
This is a brilliant beautiful video, a combination of science and science history. Thanks !
Also completely wrong. ;-)
I love your videos so much - they’re so calming and are one of my favorite things to fall asleep to, as well as obv being super well put-together and informative :]
Such a beautiful voice and wonderful explanations! I’m in love with your videos!
1:36 The idea that a person's eye produces light is easily disproven every time one enters ad dark room, and it remains dark. Pythagoras should have stuck with what he did best, mathematics.
2:22 Unfortunately for Lucretius, shadows don't have sharp edges, due to a phenomenon we call diffraction.
6:50 Huygen's Wavefront Theory suffers from a fatal flaw. There are numerous interactions, so why does one set take precedence over the others. In other words, one could draw wavefronts is many different directions,
28:00 The electron orbitals are simply three -dimensional harmonic waves.
Excellent historical narrative told in a logical, clear, and concise manner. If I were not retired from teaching, I would show this video in my classes.
Huygens is an approximation, so is the level of homogeneous, isotropic (or in case of bi-refringence polarization dependent) Maxwell optics that we are teaching at the university level. Are you complaining that we aren't throwing thousand page textbooks on the most general case of classical light-matter interaction at high school students???? Why? Do all students in high school need to learn how to write a CGI rendering engine that can correctly render a pearl? What for? So they will learn to hate science even more than they already do?
Electron orbitals are not "simple three-dimensional harmonic waves". You may want to talk to a fellow retired chemistry teacher about that. If his students write that sentence in a test, he would have to fail them. :-)
