My teory :) : That explain that whole universe is alive. You cannot predict where is particle until you check, the wave is information. You can predict where is some person if you know that person, like work, home or whatever forest at some time of day. But sometimes they are sick or stuck in traffic so there are not there. You know when you check or you have just information :D
Quantum superpositions don't exist. I have 8 videos on UA-cam. 2 of them contradict the assumptions of quantum mechanics, including quantum superpositions. Search keywords: matter theory marostica.
I'm a programmer, and this 100% sounds like an optimisation in the simulation, reducing processor load and removing the unneeded calculation unless it's needed for the observation of those within said simulation. This experiment is the first one that actually gives me pause to believe the theory that we live in a simulation
Until you find out quantum coherence is hard to maintain. Again, the correction: it doesn't have to be an actual 'conscious' observer... I don't know a lot about programming, but for example the rendering of parts of a game only when within that area, is not it is it? Is also that a whole wave function is calculated if there is only one particle? Is that not MORE calculation? These particles have the inverse: you observe them and there is less complex information going on after the wave collapse... then they lose the wave function calculation and act classical therabouts. So instead of the game character wandering around as we expect in a program.... instead the whole game is rendered but the character removes the area they are in into a blank void...except there are difficult situations to arise at that point
@@impact0r maybe. It seems it went out of favour, but it would seem the simplest. Copenhagen isn't that magical...just random? (that is the one that does NOT use magic to explain the randomness.) Many worlds and simulations are.
@@jorgepeterbarton Random = no causality = magic. Copenhagen Interpretation is build upon a logical fallacy called Argumentum ad Ignorantiam: "We do not know the cause for the phenomenon, therefore we know there is no cause for the phenomenon (ie. it is truly random). It does not make sense to me how prominent physicists can be OK with a "theory" which is indistinguishable from a basic logical fallacy.

This video absolutely blew my mind. I started to study more into quantum physics, sound frequencies and resonance, cymatics and geometry. I'm just absolutely blown away.. We're on a hell of a ride -- together. There's unfortunately a lot of misinformation out there.

Simply the best explanation of the classic double slit experiment in quantum physics for the layman and any student of science. Thank you for putting together such a great material and presentation.
Wow, I didn't realise quite how many world-class physicists are hanging about UA-cam watching physics videos for laymen and using their vast knowledge of quantum physics to enlighten us as to why the people in the video don't know what they're talking about and scientific consensus is meaningless. I look forward to reading more of their insights in the peer-reviewed journals which must surely be queuing up to commission papers from these secret Interweb geniuses.
NoneOfYour Beeswax - I don’t usually read UA-cam comments, but I found this video tonight and something drew me to these, and, honestly … I don’t know whether I’m having the funnest night of my life in a long time or whether I’m just laughing to keep the yawning abyss of despair from swallowing me up whole.

Quantum scores 4/100. That's a radical fail in any test. I might stop calling bullshit when they can explain the 96 percent of mass missing from their 'equations'. You should too.

Okay, your turn. Let's see whatcha got when your not taking anonymous potshots at people who don't know it, ya genius, you.
The superposition of understanding and confusion is an important part of understanding certain fields. Think about math, physics, chemistry, wave propagation. At the beginning think about them one at a time. Then start thinking about them together. You will eventually make progress. In the meantime you take apart the confusing thing until one by one you get it. Then go on to the next one. Don't stop until they put you in the padded room.
Extremely informative. Thank you. I have wondered more in depth about this very issue regarding the wave functions and how the double slit experiment is a microcosmic analogy pertaining to the macroscopic world that we live in. Essentially showing is that from the source, our energy has limitless possibilities until a defined path of intention directs manifestation into our reality.

Do the particles ever overlap each other when they “land” in the experiment? If they don’t, and find a new unoccupied position, then could it be said that they are “aware” of their position? If they are “aware,” then where exactly does this leave us?
This is easy to explain. Since we are in a simulation collision detection requires a lot of computations. To save on all this processing only the vector of the object is taken and then if the object enters the localization of another objects position does a collision get detected.
In the answers to the previous comments, the orbital resonances of Jupiter's moons are inverted (because the actual order from inside to outside is Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto). Also, Jupiter is about 1/1000 of a solar mass, not 1/10000.
you should listen to Dr. Robert Lanza...this just takes from his work lol. He pioneered pluripotent stem cell research and applied it to medicine. Saved countless lives. He now immersed himself in physics and his theory of biocentrism is academically fulfilling.
@@tiny_toilet oh? Allocating extra resources to something in focus, or 2 having a script all items follow by default, that can be influenced to change sometimes, other times run in default config.. sort of how they split an atom and separated them and add a stimuli to one, and the other reacts as if they are linked, effectively communicating faster than the speed of light, that can almost only be explained by some sort of virtual reality no?
Also a single photon is going to interact with the fringes of the lens just like normal regardless if there's any other photon near it. That and the slits have to be sufficiently small... And in Young's experiment he didn't actually use double slits until very much later. He used a hole in the wall with a card to split the beam
You know what would be really cool, performing this experiments at very high speeds or in space to see the effect of time dilation and gravity on the results
I got to 3:05 and was falling asleep to how he talks and explained it.. This is why I never got science smart and became a writer, never found a lecturer that was excited about what they ate talking about... just mono tone fall asleep tone with no enthusiasm or joy yet talking about stuff that is absolutely incredible super cool and amazingly easy to grasp if spoken of in the right way. Sadly I give up because I feel the content over how it is presented is not worth my time in comparison...
4:22 *Each photon reaches the screen knowing which regions are the most likely landing spots and which are the least likely. It knows the interference pattern of a pure wave that passed through both slits equally, and it chooses its landing point based on that.* ._. Just to be clear, does the photon actually KNOW where it SHOULD land and actually chooses? Or are we still following the original idea of probability. It just does not make sense to me
The Troll its probability.. Its like asking how a cloud knows when to rain... It doesn't... But in this case there is an distinct probability of a target spot.... The interference patter maps that probability. Likely its 50%, 25%,12.5%, 6.25% etc....
Also Richard Feynman who won the Nobel prize in the mid nineteen sixties made a public statement saying that he doesn't advocate the many worlds Interpretation.
Perhaps the phenomenon of matter and particles as perturbances of a field (by quantum mechanics) travel on a carrier wave. Perhaps that wave is the excitation mechanism that generates spatial motion with which the particle perturbances "ride" and are ultimately directed at some angle based on the phase angle/time of release. It would appear probabilistic to us tracking the end result at detection, but could potentially be deterministic based on a mechanic we have yet to fully characterize.
Massless or nearly massless 'particles' are so fast that they consider themselves to be everywhere at once. Therefore, a photon can interfere with what we would consider past, present, or future versions of itself. Particles with zero or extremely low mass seem to be less constrained by spacetime and have less restricted access to the Block Universe, which is comprised of the past, present, and future taken all at once. These spacetime separations likely all coexist, and are partitioned arbitrarily, based on the selected observer's reference frame. But in the photon's reference frame, the partitions dont exist or a are substantially eroded.
@6:44 you state that the wave holds "all the information about possible positions and..." But, it also holds all the relative information about all other states (inertia). This was discussed by David Bohm, that the information about the entire universe was contained in every element. While you and Bohm are correct, each statement fails to resonate from the true model of the cosmos. The fact is that Thomas' Double Slit Experiment shows us that matter is the 'result' of waves, and yet we keep trying to discuss the universe of phenomena as a form, a particle, an element, a possibility of locations. It would seem more appropriate to change our language to better describe it as a character of the whole state. The whole state being the entire universe for a planks moment. This was proven by Los Alamos Laboratory in 1999 (Bose-Einstein Condensation). Matter is the representation of information about a specific state of the whole. An example of that would be that, It can be seen on a movie screen with light passing through frames of celluloid. And if we were to look at a single frame, we would see the position of a ball thrown from a pitcher, but not the vector. The ball would appear to be stationary. Under certain circumstances these individual states can be merged into a singular state. To take this one step further, if we reflect on the stranger part of the Double Slit Experiment, the pattern was also effected by an observer; It (photon or electron, etc..) acted as a particle with and waves without an observer, giving some power to the idea that the observer is a quality of the outcome. This was the same in the Los Alamos Bose-Einstein Condensation experiment. Two of the requirements for a successful experiment was deplete of two things, light and an observer.
Matt: no one has researched whether the interference pattern is determined by the energy used to propel the photon towards the double-slit. If you get a Nobel I want a share.
I would have liked more info on the initial conditions. was the experiment done in a vaccum for example. was it tried somewhere where gravity does not interfer much? because the photons could ride on some kind of gravitational wave, not?
Wouldn't that suggest that we are looking at refraction, and not an interference pattern? The individual photons bend at given angles depending on how close they are to the edge of the slit. But, due to refraction, they can't bend at angles between the angles that the color of the photon dictates. Will different color photons have wider or narrower "interference" patterns?
The cardboard gets wet, causing the slits to morph, altering the hot stream's path. Hobo science has been created, it shall reveal all. Next we'll see how a crack rock orbits a supermassive pipe.
Wouldn't it make more sense that maybe some of the risidual energy transference remains on the air particles and therefore repels the electrons and photons away from already traveled paths because of the entropy?
The electron fired through the slits is going to interact with other particles. Is there a way to confirm the electron detected is the exact same electron fired from the ion blaster?
Perhaps I missed it and need to watch the video again, but from what I could tell, you guys completely failed to mention the clump patterns that only appear when the path information is known by a conscious observer. Knowledge of the path information collapses the wave function of the particle, thus causing clump patterns instead of interference patterns. The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser, the sister of the Double-Slit proved that there was no way the measuring devices were interfering with the way the particles behaved. This would seem to prove that the only thing that could be interfering with the particles is consciousness. The interference patterns appear only when the path information is NOT known, and the clump patterns appear only when the path information IS known. So, what does consciousness have to do with anything? It proves that consciousness is part of some quantum field that extends beyond the limits of the human body. Why is this such a radical concept when every thought we think proves that energy can be charged with consciousness? What's even cooler is the 1st law of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only change form. The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser proved that these particles also will load up a back history and change what it did in the past to match what is happening in the present. Our consciousness is connected with these time traveling particles as they only alter their behavior when they are under observation of a conscious observer. This is some pretty heavy shit folks, and our PBS friends here didn't bother to mention anything about the most compelling aspect of the experiment. The did a song and a tap dance about everything BUT most compelling part. In my opinion, this video is deceitful because it doesn't tell the whole story. It is my belief that the Double-Slit and Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiments are the beginning of real scientific proof of the human soul. One day, science and spirituality might very well go hand in hand.
Resistance is neutralized in mass. Resistance is in equalization throughout space as space. We are space itself, vibrating point to point in resistance. The greater the mass, resistance equalization of it. That's why the mass travels through space in equalization to resistance. Resistance is key to forward momentum. The greater the entanglement, the more resistance in equalization. Thermal energy singularity frequencies in resistance, outside of entanglement is maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Space is vibrating at its maximum speed limit. Entanglement redirects thermal energy singularity frequencies into cycling circulation patterns reducing forward momentum of distance vibrating. Mass amplifies as resistance passes through it, by cycling patterns. Electricity is thermal energy flow. Magnetic fields of cycling circulation patterns holding mass together. Mass falls towards mass in equalization to resistance within and without mass. Conservation of maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Entanglement is equalization of forward momentum in resistance to cold space. Perpetual motion. Maximum momentum velocity is constant in and out of entanglement. Resistance is equal to the mass of entanglement. Forward momentum losses distance as redirected flow of trajectories. Resistance passes through mass as mass vibrates through space in forward maximum momentum velocity. Space itself vibrates through entanglement, as mass vibrates in forward maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Space is a stationary negative cold field of resistance that propels thermal energy and repels it. Clockwise and counterclockwise. Alpha and Omega. Unidirectional flow. Harmonics harmonization of frequencies in entanglement with equalization of resistance. Thermal energy is outward force of pressure known as weight. Kinetic energy contained within mass. Mass being the weakest point of resistance. Thermal energy singularity frequencies are repelled towards mass as the weakest point of resistance. Space doesn't bend. Resistance redirects thermal energy towards the weakest point of resistance which is the greater proximity mass. Stars passing close to greater proximity massive neutralized resistance lose their outer cores towards the weakest point of resistance which is greater occupation of mass. Mass NEUTRALIZES resistance within it. Flow is redirected trajectories. Thermal energy is outward force of pressure known as weight contained in mass, repelled by resistance within occupational space of mass. Double slit experiment shows that resistance is equal throughout space as space. Mass amplifies space and is always in equalization of resistance to its entanglement. Fluidity to illusionary solidity cycling patterns. Distance is lost by entanglement. Space is the speed limit of maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Thermal energy singularity frequencies in resistance, as the fabric of space outside of entanglement. We entangle the space ahead and vibrate as it. Decay and age are the result of exchanging occupational forward space.
I'm confused how this effect occurs with bucky balls. These are made of traditional, massive particles and not the near-massless ones that waves of energy collapse into. How does that part make sense?
What I'm baffled by is that there are many questions in physics that are alledged to have not been answered, but actually have been answered? What's wrong with the interpretation that mass is what increases the probability of wave function collapse? Also, Sir Roger Penrose pretty much explained the big bang and the final fate of the universe and received no critique and no pushback on it...
@@schmetterling4477 Maybe you shouldn't assume I didn't study it? What I said was that I'm surprised by how much is actually known, but claimed it's not known.
Yeah, I want more incomprehensible information please. If I listen long enough, will it start to make sense, like a foreign language? I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
It's not as hard as it seems, words and expressions used are what causes the confusion, i/e collapse of wave function, observation = measurement, probability etc. Knowing what those actually mean provides a greater chance of understanding the experiment.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 Why are you insisting on YOUR definitions, in this case understanding? You either get it or don't. Besides, QM doesn't say much about being in more than one place at the same time, it's a rather poor attempt to explain a simple distribution. I/e photons behave in wave pattern and the equations give us probabilities where they will appear in the wave pattern, since we can't measure the path of an individual photon due to quantum interference of the act of measuring itself. On the other hand, if you'd think of an electron, imagine a stone of known weight tied to a piece of rope and you spin it. For the same amount of invested energy, if you shorten the rope, the stone will spin faster in terms of revolutions, and vise versa. If you'd observe that stone, as you gradually shorten the rope, it'll go faster and faster eventually looking like a ring of blur around you. Go down to the atomic level, and you can now imagine what an electron would do spinning around the core (having no mass) at the speed of light on an extremely tight radius "rope". It'll look like a bubble of fog. Now, if you'd imagine a car passing at normal traffic speed, and you shoot at it, the bullet would pierce the car's door and create a hole, and you can measure and pinpoint that hole's position. If you'd do the same but the car was passing at i/e 10k mph, as the tip of the bullet hits the door it creates a hole, but the car is moving so fast that it moves faster than the bullet can penetrate the thin steel, so as the bullet goes deeper it tears the hole to the shape of an ellipse. Faster the car goes, longer the ellipse would be, eventually becoming a line all across the car, at certain speeds. Now, if you'd a well timed shot towards the road where the car is going at the speed of light (in theory, since cars can't go at the speed of light), you'd hit the car no matter where you shoot cause it goes so fast that it APPEARS to be elongated to infinity, which is nothing more but that line effect I described formerly, basically, that line of tear becomes "infinitely" long from the shooter's perspective. No math used. "It is impossible to understand quantum mechanics." - Well, I refuse this statement to be imposed on me or anyone else due to your own or someone else's lack of understanding and/or imagination.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 Ehhh... This'll bee a LONG one. I wasn't trying to be hostile, wasn't really even angry (not at you at least), my words may have seemed like that, and after reading what I wrote, you have a point about that, however that wasn't my intention so I apologize. My intention was to point out that people have different levels and ways of understanding, and just cause some don't understand some things doesn't mean that no one can't even some famous scientists claim so. I DO understand quantum mechanics and physics (up to a point but deep enough), and you probably do too (it's not really THAT hard), it's just that there are terms that are confusing (as formerly stated) so substitute them with your own. I never saw anything as small as a photon or electron or even atom size, however, I am aware of the fact that just cause you can't see something that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, there are other methods. I/e we can't see gravity but you feel it's effect, you can measure it, determine it's properties etc. That was the point. The attitude "if I can't see it with my own eyes or recorded on camera..." won't get you anywhere. Now, if you are aware of properties of the speed of light, works of Maxwell, Bohr, Einstein etc, you start to get the time-space, and the fact that from the perspective of a photon everything happens instantly, then repeat the 2 slit experiments in two ways: by firing a single photon and by firing a concentrated short stream of photons, you get to see the ERRORS which are NOT data errors but errors of failure to explain the events using proper terms. There's no "universe decided", there's no "uncertainty', those are just failures to define things properly, we simply have no way of measuring the exact position of a photon on it's path from the source to the real wall in the double slit experiment cause it happens INSTANTLY, cause photons move at the speed of light, it's as simple as that. Also, if we'd try to measure which slit was the one photon passed through, we create quantum interference with our measuring devices, thus we can't determine the result. If you use logic and say, ok, it's a wave, obviously it'll pass through both slits and had self-interference, however, that wave carries energy in the form of light, which will be released only "on impact", we can then cover one slit and see that sometimes the light will appear on the cover, sometimes it'll pass through the other slit and hit the wall behind, meaning, there's no "observation" involved, which is another confusing term that suggests that if we'd LOOK, we'd get one result and if we'd turn our head around, we'd get a different result (wave or particle), which is WRONG. Measuring devices are what's meant by observation. There's no collapse of the wave function, (I will speak in pain words even it's NOT a correct way to explain) wave exists, but the energy carried is released in a single spot, you can imagine it as a surfer on a wave. The duality of photons, electrons and other particles is the property that seems confusing, however, if you'd read about packages of energy (there's a great video on how the Sun releases it's energy) you begin to realize that things are actually far simpler than presented. Scientists aren't really good at explaining things outside math, which is the biggest problem one may have, given that one has some basic math knowledge and understanding of the concept of imaginary numbers (mainly sqrt(i)=-1). Multidimensional objects aren't that hard to understand either, once you get past 5th dimension, the number of dimensions doesn't matter anymore (just pay attention on objects that have radius i/e circle, ball etc), it's the same principle just repeated more times, however, going back from 248th dimension to 8th and gauge symmetry is REALLY intense, so I would suggest a pack of headache pills, God knows I needed them (had a headache for 3 days after understanding light speed and time, roughly a week after gauge symmetry studies). I hope we are now clear on my intentions, it's not my goal to pick a fight but to show that ppl need to clear the definitions first, what is EXACTLY meant by them, and eliminate what's NOT first, then concentrate on what IS. IMO any 3 digit IQ person shouldn't have huge problems with basics of QF and QM, only with words used to explain them.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 I mentioned in the long comment: repeat the experiment yourself. You actually can, if you care, there are kits sold for $200-$400, and you may even ask to be present in a college class when such experiments are performed and not spend money.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 I wasn't debating you, I was trying to tell you that QM and QF aren't exclusive to scientists when it comes to a higher level of understanding, and that if you want, you can learn more without some big scare. There are companies that build quantum computers and enthusiasts who follow that development, so, they certainly understand a lot. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't understand or learn about. Try and see for yourself, that's all I'm saying (with some pointers), and that's not QM and QF exclusive, applies to everything. TY for your time and patience.
The Double Slit has always been once of the most fascinating experiments to me. I guess they figured this video had enough mind-blowing information since they didn't mention that when sensors are placed at the slits to try and identify which slit the particle chooses, the pattern on the screen disappears and is replaced with just two columns.
That’s another lie from the QT theorists. Because you then use two seperate detectors detecting light from each slit. And qt madmen forget to tell viewers that the light from each slit doesn’t give an interference pattern simply because it didn’t have a chance to interfere with any light from the other slit. !! But these quantum lies get unchallenged because viewers think the qt theorists are reliable. They arent. They lie all the time.

Reality is not shattered by this, Cirsie. It is a simple mistake from the start. It comes from the wrong categorization of quarks and other particles, which, if properly categorized, should have solved this problem in the 1980s. The problem is that we do not have Maxwells and Newtons today.
Kind of makes me think of those moments when you feel like you've transcended that moment, feel like you've caught a brief glimpse of infinite possibilities, before you make a decision which solidifies your trajectory to the next moment. Or maybe I should just call it a night and go to sleep 😂

@@kiilwiil3780 watch the quantum eraser double slit experiment video. It's ever freakier than this video. That particles can retroactively collapse the wave function. I'm sure I'm butchering it but that's the message that stuck with me.
Actually in the world of coding this is called "lazy evaluation" where you don't bother to find the exact answer until just before you need it. That way you don't waste time calculating answers you never end up using. If ever there was an argument that we are living in a simulation, this is it. I know if I was writing a simulation I'd be using lazy evaluation as it would significantly reduce the CPU time required to run it!
scientists have already proved were not in a simulation by bouncing particles around and doing a few calculation, no I have no idea what or how I just read it on Wikipedia a long ass time ago
To put it simple, light is made up of particles called photons. When light travels, it travels in a wave, similar to a ocean wave or if you think of how cell phone signals travel. Basically that experiment proved that Light/group of photons even though it travels as a wave, somehow wave function collapses, and the photons are able to act and communicate with its other photons and it chooses its final path due to probabilities of its path.
Garnet L. i hate when people say this. it’s not the act of us SEEING the particles that changes the experiment. any measurement we take has an effect on the experiment itself. the reason the electrons changed back to particles was because the detectors interfered with the electrons, not because electrons “magically know when they’re being watched” or that typical bullshit most people peddle without knowing anything about quantum mechanics.
What messed me up here was finding out a bucky ball did that. I'd thought it was only known to happen at the quantum level, so I'm even more confused now!
Its a fascinating experiment. So fascinating that I decided to have a go at doing it myself a few years ago. I managed to get hold of a photomultiplier tube from a surplus store. Build the required special power supply and a water cooled pelter based cooler to take the tube down to -25C which reduces the dark current to the point where single photon detection becomes possible. Using a slice of CD as the diffraction surface with a synchronous motor to rotate it and and led in a box with a pinhole as the light source. It actually worked by passing the anode current directly though a pair of headphones, it sounded like the patter of rain. Turning the led current down you could hear the individual click of photons been detected. The way the volume went up and down clearly showed the diffraction patten.
+CookatooDude It was a place called Bull electronics many many years ago. I got the last one. But If you look at eBay they have quite a few listed at the moment.
+CockatooDude Not a common item. Last ones I saw where on pallets and wrapped in plastic. Looked quite a job to put it together. Kind of interesting but outside of my price bracket. If you are interested in the photomultiplier I suggest you get the data sheets via Google. There are many types differing in the spectral response and sensitivity. It will mention photon counting on the data sheet if a particular tube has that ability. A smaller cathode and low dark count are highly desirable. One tip NEVER power one up anywhere that is brighter than a darkroom. It will be instantly destroyed. If they have been in the light they need several hours in the dark before the tube will settle down.
Mark Gohl Well I much appreciate the information and will try to remember as much as possible. But I am afraid my interests lie in different places, which I find fascinating, but which may appear more mundane to others. The most complicated thing I need for my current project is a turbocharger bearing from a truck motor, and a hobby jet engine ignition system, because I don't feel like making my own. Sorry if this makes it seem like I wasn't interested, because I was, but an experiment like this isn't something I feel that I could repeat reliably. But I digress, sorry for the ramble.
@Kargadan Yes I see. But if the universe is infinite you need infinite cpu power but every coder will implement a failsafe. And the best failsafe would be infinite -1 (low resolution texture ergo wave function of particle)
Or maybe if the universe was simulated they could make such a universe that when a civilization becomes advanced enough to observe things smaller than a certain scale our tools would not work. It would take significantly less processing power to do so. Why would they allow us to observe subatomic particles, for example? We already had accepted at one point that atom was the smallest block of matter everything is made out of. It would take exponentially more power to simulate a quantum mechanical universe compared to one where atom is the smallest block of matter. So maybe this is not a simulation?
These matrix jokes are starting to run rampant. Any simulation needs a reality putting it together, the way our supposed reality works it can't sustain a simulation of the very same thing. We can make something of an illusion using hollow 3d objects and draw distance. You can only do so much with 1's and 0's tied to metal conduction. Funny enough an IDE can generate logic that is more versatile than real life logic, much like the human mind. Maybe in a reality outside of our own which is holding ours as a simulation it is all possible through logic that works beyond gates and linear connections.
we actually using a PS39 but we used the "forget" option, when u switch to easy mode the "forget" option is disabled and then you come out out of your mother's belly knowing already it's just a game u bought on walmart cloud gaming store
This stuff fascinates me but what astounds me even more is the engineering aspect of these experiments, an aspect which I never see anybody explaining. For example, how the heck do you build a machine which will fire a single photon? How do you test that it's working?
We only give enough energy to cause single photon excitement by using Max Plank’s equation e=hv where v (nue) is frequency of the EM wave. For photons we usually use ruby lasers
I'm a math and physics student interested in those types of questions too! What are the details of these experiments and how can they be explained in an understandable way. I'll probably start a UA-cam channel on the subject. I'll try to remember to let you know. It'll likely be a few years.
@@bakerxlove7893 you're not the only person I've seen say that! Maybe we did shift reality at that time, who knows. All I know is with the rise of all these crazy social justic groups, all the political turmoil going on, covid etc. Something isn't right and hasn't been for a long time now.
It was about all particles also exist as waves simultaneously. In the experiment, individual photons were shot through a double slit. The photons produced an interference pattern even though they were fired individually. When they tried to determine which slit the photon went through the photons formed two bands instead of an interference pattern. The act of Observing a photon changed it's behavior.
It's amazing that there are videos like this, that explain quantum physics in a way that people like me, who aren't scholarly or fully educated in physics, that we can begin to understand how this incredible aspect of reality, well, our perceptions of reality, work on such scales. I love learning about this. Thank you, PBS for always being part of my learning life, since i was a very small child. Now that's amazing. ❤😘🌹
So here's what's actually happening: we're living in a simulation and whoever coded it didn't use exact formulas, but instead used approximations. They never expected anything to evolve so much in their simulation that they actually look into their sloppy work and try to make sense of it.
Yeah, they're really the only science channel that isn't very pop science. You can tell this is their actual field of study. Even when they just do something for fun, they still make it have substance to it. My biggest problem is that my recommended videos get full of either pop science that isn't very good or also LOL! I'll get a bunch of conspiracy theory videos and things about lizard people from space LOL! But when I see PBS spacetime and it's a new video that I haven't seen, I always like to click on them. They're always really well done.
Yeah I totally agree , Going to bed and then I start watching . Initially I thought it was gonna be a boring ..now I’m just completely brain fukd right now at 6 AM
Very cool video! Why didn't you talk about the very strange thing that happens if you try to determine which slit the electron went through? I was looking forward to hearing/seeing your explanation of it :-( Also, I've always wondered how small the slits have to be for this to happen. How much does the size of the slit effect the result?
I'm not a physicist, but I think I remember, when we had this in school, that the reason electrons don't build this pattern, if you know which slit they took, because when you determine the position of the electron the wave function collapses, because the electron is forced to interact with something in order to be "observed". And since after the electron leaves the slit there is no more reason for the wave to interfere with anything it just travels "straight forward". I hope you could understand me and if I'm wrong, please correct me :)
You're correct and I understand the basics of it. But I want more than basics. I want to know the fine details of how they measured it and where they measured it. How does measuring it at different places effect the result?
The slits need to be on the same scale as the wavelength. I did the experiment (not single photon, of course) in college with microwaves and the slits we used were about an inch in size and an inch apart. DeBrogle waves, which are the wave-like nature of what had been though of previously as particles, were discovered by scattering electrons off a crystal that functioned as VERY small slits.
I assume quantum eraser will be coming eventually. It isn't usually in the standard progression of topics on wavefunction interpretation but it should be and given the level of this channel I expect it probably will be.
+akrybion For that there is a delayed choice double slit experiment. where determination is done after electron crosses the slit. and the the result is the same.... freaky uh?

The reality is that we are all made from a spectrum of frequencies. You cannot see all spectrum of frequencies but you can see the spectrum of light and year the spectrum of sound frequencies. We have thoughts because thoughts is a form of frequency which gives you the ability to imagine. The location of your imagination has limitless speed and far beyond the speed of light. When you close your eyes, your thoughts are linked to the entire spectrum of frequencies which allows you to visualize in your brain which are all linked to all existence instantaneously. Anything you can think of exist in the universe, another dimensions & nature. The universe & nature is a huge place far bigger than our thoughts. Therefore, if you can imagine of something, it exists. Yes, we are interconnected with the entire universe and beyond because everything breakdown to frequency itself. The resonance increases to form a higher level of frequency and it keeps on doing that indefinitely. The only force that brought everything together is "gravity". If a person is born blind, deaf and paralyzed, then the only thing the person can utilized to communicate is through thoughts. Which is a spectrum of frequency that our brain could recognize/detect and that we are still trying to understand it. That person will have no clue what existence is but in that person's mind, he/she could still imagine. It's a pure form of imagination because the person's mind was never bombarded with the outside world.
Well, more like broke the understanding of reality. If anything breaks reality and has support of theory then it becomes the new reality instead, our understanding of reality that is anyways
Well, maybe not only that. Reality is the set of real things. This wave of possibilities act "beyond reality" because things are not only non-existent or existent but have a range of posible states in different intensities. I wouldn't say break reality but break existence. But yes. Maybe is just a semantic issue. Sorry for my english (I've sounded like a new age moron)
+GloveSlapnz I think when were talking about a scientific video, you can assume "broke reality" means it broke the current understanding scientists had. I hate clickbait, this video isn't clickbait. It literally broke the understanding of reality
Wave/particle interference holds a fundamental secret into the workings of the universe. When it is finally solved, it will not only cause a revolution in physics, but likely in our lives and outlook.
+gareth dean so basically that means there are all kinds of composite fields, which is just another way of describing pretty much anything non-fundamental, including matter
i hope you're not taking that from the 'fundamental' platonic solids where the dodecahedron was the cosmos. Its just that the smaller something is, the more likely that the current model of the quantum ever-permeating field will oscillate in such a way as to affect it. aka: small things are waves and probability functions until we force nature to choose one position (ie we make a measurement)
I'm a little rough on it, but doesn't pilot wave theory fall to Kochen-Specker? It stands uo to Bell's theorem, but didn't Bell prove later that to make it work relativistically you'd have to alter it to give up the deterministic nature that made it so attractive? I'm hoping he gets into those topics later. There are far too few places online to find a reasonable explanation of the stuff beyond Bell's Theorem.
Actually thats not accurate according to quantum physics. The results did not exist until we observed them. Change would mean that we knew the results before observation, but that in itself cant be true because knowing is a form of observation.
This is an experiment you can do yourself! Take a piece of paper and make two very thin slits through the paper (the small, the better the interference patterns you get), and, in a dark room, flash a light at the two slits (the two slits should be less than 800 nm apart for best effect). You should get an interference pattern. If the slits are small enough (and you use sun in a dark box with slits, INSTEAD of a flashlight, you get a rainbow interference pattern! You can also just bob two rubber balls over a smooth surface of water (like a lake) to make the interference waves, but light is so much more fun!
Maybe the photons do have an idea where the previous photon has gone. Perhaps they leave some "Impression" in the air (space/time) and this influences where the next photon goes. Has the experiment been done: - Waiting a large amount of time between firing photons. or - Have the platform moving so that any "Imprint" in the air is not effective.
There is no air (but even perfect vaccuum is full of fields and virtual particles). You should not move the wall were the results are "printed", as otherwise the accumulative efect will be just smooth random dots. You could in theory change the wall for another new wall per each photon (not easy to do in a vaccuum, and it will be expensive as shit); then adding each position per wall into a computer to graph the results. [It will be the same]. It is easier to think on this by adding aditional dimensions outside time [were the ghost/shadows of each wavefunction can meet and interact with all others that passed that localized region of space through the entire history [past and future] of the universe (almost all of those will be too weak to be relevant).
It can't be imprints on space time because the earth moves constantly through it extremely quickly We would move away from any 'photon path' at thousands of kilometres per second

Quantum superpositions don't exist. I have 8 videos on UA-cam. 2 of them contradict the assumptions of quantum mechanics, including quantum superpositions. Search keywords: matter theory marostica.
I'm a programmer, and this 100% sounds like an optimisation in the simulation, reducing processor load and removing the unneeded calculation unless it's needed for the observation of those within said simulation.
This experiment is the first one that actually gives me pause to believe the theory that we live in a simulation
Check out Pilot Wave theory. No need to resort to magic (Copenhagen Interpretation), if rational explanations exist.
Until you find out quantum coherence is hard to maintain. Again, the correction: it doesn't have to be an actual 'conscious' observer...
I don't know a lot about programming, but for example the rendering of parts of a game only when within that area, is not it is it?
Is also that a whole wave function is calculated if there is only one particle? Is that not MORE calculation? These particles have the inverse: you observe them and there is less complex information going on after the wave collapse... then they lose the wave function calculation and act classical therabouts.
So instead of the game character wandering around as we expect in a program.... instead the whole game is rendered but the character removes the area they are in into a blank void...except there are difficult situations to arise at that point
@@impact0r maybe. It seems it went out of favour, but it would seem the simplest.
Copenhagen isn't that magical...just random? (that is the one that does NOT use magic to explain the randomness.)

Do the particles ever overlap each other when they “land” in the experiment? If they don’t, and find a new unoccupied position, then could it be said that they are “aware” of their position? If they are “aware,” then where exactly does this leave us?
Yes, they can fucking overlap. No, they are not aware. This leaves us in Hell, right where we started.
This is easy to explain. Since we are in a simulation collision detection requires a lot of computations. To save on all this processing only the vector of the object is taken and then if the object enters the localization of another objects position does a collision get detected.
In the answers to the previous comments, the orbital resonances of Jupiter's moons are inverted (because the actual order from inside to outside is Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto).

Also a single photon is going to interact with the fringes of the lens just like normal regardless if there's any other photon near it. That and the slits have to be sufficiently small... And in Young's experiment he didn't actually use double slits until very much later. He used a hole in the wall with a card to split the beam

*Each photon reaches the screen knowing which regions are the most likely landing spots and which are the least likely. It knows the interference pattern of a pure wave that passed through both slits equally, and it chooses its landing point based on that.*
._.
Just to be clear, does the photon actually KNOW where it SHOULD land and actually chooses? Or are we still following the original idea of probability. It just does not make sense to me
The Troll its probability.. Its like asking how a cloud knows when to rain... It doesn't...
But in this case there is an distinct probability of a target spot.... The interference patter maps that probability. Likely its 50%, 25%,12.5%, 6.25% etc....

Also Richard Feynman who won the Nobel prize in the mid nineteen sixties made a public statement saying that he doesn't advocate the many worlds Interpretation.

Perhaps the phenomenon of matter and particles as perturbances of a field (by quantum mechanics) travel on a carrier wave. Perhaps that wave is the excitation mechanism that generates spatial motion with which the particle perturbances "ride" and are ultimately directed at some angle based on the phase angle/time of release. It would appear probabilistic to us tracking the end result at detection, but could potentially be deterministic based on a mechanic we have yet to fully characterize.
Massless or nearly massless 'particles' are so fast that they consider themselves to be everywhere at once. Therefore, a photon can interfere with what we would consider past, present, or future versions of itself. Particles with zero or extremely low mass seem to be less constrained by spacetime and have less restricted access to the Block Universe, which is comprised of the past, present, and future taken all at once. These spacetime separations likely all coexist, and are partitioned arbitrarily, based on the selected observer's reference frame. But in the photon's reference frame, the partitions dont exist or a are substantially eroded.
That explains the high pitch ringing sounds!!!
@6:44 you state that the wave holds "all the information about possible positions and..." But, it also holds all the relative information about all other states (inertia). This was discussed by David Bohm, that the information about the entire universe was contained in every element. While you and Bohm are correct, each statement fails to resonate from the true model of the cosmos. The fact is that Thomas' Double Slit Experiment shows us that matter is the 'result' of waves, and yet we keep trying to discuss the universe of phenomena as a form, a particle, an element, a possibility of locations. It would seem more appropriate to change our language to better describe it as a character of the whole state. The whole state being the entire universe for a planks moment.
This was proven by Los Alamos Laboratory in 1999 (Bose-Einstein Condensation). Matter is the representation of information about a specific state of the whole. An example of that would be that, It can be seen on a movie screen with light passing through frames of celluloid. And if we were to look at a single frame, we would see the position of a ball thrown from a pitcher, but not the vector. The ball would appear to be stationary. Under certain circumstances these individual states can be merged into a singular state.
To take this one step further, if we reflect on the stranger part of the Double Slit Experiment, the pattern was also effected by an observer; It (photon or electron, etc..) acted as a particle with and waves without an observer, giving some power to the idea that the observer is a quality of the outcome. This was the same in the Los Alamos Bose-Einstein Condensation experiment. Two of the requirements for a successful experiment was deplete of two things, light and an observer.
Matt: no one has researched whether the interference pattern is determined by the energy used to propel the photon towards the double-slit. If you get a Nobel I want a share.
Photons: we do a bit of trolling

Me: Just bowled a strike on my Playstation Wii
I would have liked more info on the initial conditions. was the experiment done in a vaccum for example. was it tried somewhere where gravity does not interfer much? because the photons could ride on some kind of gravitational wave, not?
It can be broken into different parts. Black and white neutrino that recombine magnetically on the opposite side.
Wouldn't that suggest that we are looking at refraction, and not an interference pattern? The individual photons bend at given angles depending on how close they are to the edge of the slit. But, due to refraction, they can't bend at angles between the angles that the color of the photon dictates. Will different color photons have wider or narrower "interference" patterns?
an optical illusion is a cgi movies but a quantum hallucionation really do reality upside down
All of this makes perfect sense if we’re in a simulation and we’re just exposing a bug in engine physics. 👀
This effect has also been observed when you Pee through a double slit cardboard.
The cardboard gets wet, causing the slits to morph, altering the hot stream's path. Hobo science has been created, it shall reveal all.

Why doesn't the wave function collapse onto the screen?
It seems that the wavelength would be changed by going through the slit?
Wow.
This can make sense if the EMF field is one thing. The field controls how all the wave/particles behave.
Wouldn't it make more sense that maybe some of the risidual energy transference remains on the air particles and therefore repels the electrons and photons away from already traveled paths because of the entropy?
The electron fired through the slits is going to interact with other particles. Is there a way to confirm the electron detected is the exact same electron fired from the ion blaster?
Quantum Space Theory explains this duality of light.
Why does it stop in the middle? Is there a part 2?
Quantum entanglement is even weirder, it appears to be instantaneous (not constrained by the speed of light).

Spelling bee is not for you. Just saying. :)
Perhaps I missed it and need to watch the video again, but from what I could tell, you guys completely failed to mention the clump patterns that only appear when the path information is known by a conscious observer. Knowledge of the path information collapses the wave function of the particle, thus causing clump patterns instead of interference patterns. The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser, the sister of the Double-Slit proved that there was no way the measuring devices were interfering with the way the particles behaved. This would seem to prove that the only thing that could be interfering with the particles is consciousness. The interference patterns appear only when the path information is NOT known, and the clump patterns appear only when the path information IS known. So, what does consciousness have to do with anything? It proves that consciousness is part of some quantum field that extends beyond the limits of the human body. Why is this such a radical concept when every thought we think proves that energy can be charged with consciousness? What's even cooler is the 1st law of thermodynamics, the conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only change form. The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser proved that these particles also will load up a back history and change what it did in the past to match what is happening in the present. Our consciousness is connected with these time traveling particles as they only alter their behavior when they are under observation of a conscious observer. This is some pretty heavy shit folks, and our PBS friends here didn't bother to mention anything about the most compelling aspect of the experiment. The did a song and a tap dance about everything BUT most compelling part. In my opinion, this video is deceitful because it doesn't tell the whole story. It is my belief that the Double-Slit and Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiments are the beginning of real scientific proof of the human soul. One day, science and spirituality might very well go hand in hand.
Resistance is neutralized in mass. Resistance is in equalization throughout space as space. We are space itself, vibrating point to point in resistance. The greater the mass, resistance equalization of it. That's why the mass travels through space in equalization to resistance. Resistance is key to forward momentum. The greater the entanglement, the more resistance in equalization. Thermal energy singularity frequencies in resistance, outside of entanglement is maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Space is vibrating at its maximum speed limit. Entanglement redirects thermal energy singularity frequencies into cycling circulation patterns reducing forward momentum of distance vibrating. Mass amplifies as resistance passes through it, by cycling patterns. Electricity is thermal energy flow. Magnetic fields of cycling circulation patterns holding mass together. Mass falls towards mass in equalization to resistance within and without mass. Conservation of maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Entanglement is equalization of forward momentum in resistance to cold space. Perpetual motion. Maximum momentum velocity is constant in and out of entanglement. Resistance is equal to the mass of entanglement. Forward momentum losses distance as redirected flow of trajectories. Resistance passes through mass as mass vibrates through space in forward maximum momentum velocity. Space itself vibrates through entanglement, as mass vibrates in forward maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Space is a stationary negative cold field of resistance that propels thermal energy and repels it. Clockwise and counterclockwise. Alpha and Omega. Unidirectional flow. Harmonics harmonization of frequencies in entanglement with equalization of resistance. Thermal energy is outward force of pressure known as weight. Kinetic energy contained within mass. Mass being the weakest point of resistance. Thermal energy singularity frequencies are repelled towards mass as the weakest point of resistance. Space doesn't bend. Resistance redirects thermal energy towards the weakest point of resistance which is the greater proximity mass. Stars passing close to greater proximity massive neutralized resistance lose their outer cores towards the weakest point of resistance which is greater occupation of mass. Mass NEUTRALIZES resistance within it. Flow is redirected trajectories. Thermal energy is outward force of pressure known as weight contained in mass, repelled by resistance within occupational space of mass. Double slit experiment shows that resistance is equal throughout space as space. Mass amplifies space and is always in equalization of resistance to its entanglement. Fluidity to illusionary solidity cycling patterns. Distance is lost by entanglement. Space is the speed limit of maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Thermal energy singularity frequencies in resistance, as the fabric of space outside of entanglement. We entangle the space ahead and vibrate as it. Decay and age are the result of exchanging occupational forward space.
we aren't space. space is just a construct of our minds.
I'm confused how this effect occurs with bucky balls. These are made of traditional, massive particles and not the near-massless ones that waves of energy collapse into.
How does that part make sense?
Why is his left shoulder higher than his right shoulder 😂
you lost me when you started talking about Jupiter
What I'm baffled by is that there are many questions in physics that are alledged to have not been answered, but actually have been answered? What's wrong with the interpretation that mass is what increases the probability of wave function collapse?
Also, Sir Roger Penrose pretty much explained the big bang and the final fate of the universe and received no critique and no pushback on it...
Why are you baffled by not understanding things that you didn't study? ;-)
@@schmetterling4477 Maybe you shouldn't assume I didn't study it? What I said was that I'm surprised by how much is actually known, but claimed it's not known.
@@Eerielai If you had studied, then you would understand these trivial things. ;-)
Yeah, I want more incomprehensible information please. If I listen long enough, will it start to make sense, like a foreign language? I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
Wait a minute. What about the part of the double slit experiment where the results vary depending on whether the experiment is being observed or not?
One of the best explanations of the double slit experiment I've seen. I almost understood it.
It's not as hard as it seems, words and expressions used are what causes the confusion, i/e collapse of wave function, observation = measurement, probability etc. Knowing what those actually mean provides a greater chance of understanding the experiment.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 Why are you insisting on YOUR definitions, in this case understanding? You either get it or don't. Besides, QM doesn't say much about being in more than one place at the same time, it's a rather poor attempt to explain a simple distribution. I/e photons behave in wave pattern and the equations give us probabilities where they will appear in the wave pattern, since we can't measure the path of an individual photon due to quantum interference of the act of measuring itself.
On the other hand, if you'd think of an electron, imagine a stone of known weight tied to a piece of rope and you spin it. For the same amount of invested energy, if you shorten the rope, the stone will spin faster in terms of revolutions, and vise versa. If you'd observe that stone, as you gradually shorten the rope, it'll go faster and faster eventually looking like a ring of blur around you. Go down to the atomic level, and you can now imagine what an electron would do spinning around the core (having no mass) at the speed of light on an extremely tight radius "rope". It'll look like a bubble of fog.
Now, if you'd imagine a car passing at normal traffic speed, and you shoot at it, the bullet would pierce the car's door and create a hole, and you can measure and pinpoint that hole's position. If you'd do the same but the car was passing at i/e 10k mph, as the tip of the bullet hits the door it creates a hole, but the car is moving so fast that it moves faster than the bullet can penetrate the thin steel, so as the bullet goes deeper it tears the hole to the shape of an ellipse. Faster the car goes, longer the ellipse would be, eventually becoming a line all across the car, at certain speeds. Now, if you'd a well timed shot towards the road where the car is going at the speed of light (in theory, since cars can't go at the speed of light), you'd hit the car no matter where you shoot cause it goes so fast that it APPEARS to be elongated to infinity, which is nothing more but that line effect I described formerly, basically, that line of tear becomes "infinitely" long from the shooter's perspective.
No math used.
"It is impossible to understand quantum mechanics." - Well, I refuse this statement to be imposed on me or anyone else due to your own or someone else's lack of understanding and/or imagination.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 Ehhh... This'll bee a LONG one. I wasn't trying to be hostile, wasn't really even angry (not at you at least), my words may have seemed like that, and after reading what I wrote, you have a point about that, however that wasn't my intention so I apologize. My intention was to point out that people have different levels and ways of understanding, and just cause some don't understand some things doesn't mean that no one can't even some famous scientists claim so. I DO understand quantum mechanics and physics (up to a point but deep enough), and you probably do too (it's not really THAT hard), it's just that there are terms that are confusing (as formerly stated) so substitute them with your own. I never saw anything as small as a photon or electron or even atom size, however, I am aware of the fact that just cause you can't see something that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, there are other methods. I/e we can't see gravity but you feel it's effect, you can measure it, determine it's properties etc. That was the point. The attitude "if I can't see it with my own eyes or recorded on camera..." won't get you anywhere.
Now, if you are aware of properties of the speed of light, works of Maxwell, Bohr, Einstein etc, you start to get the time-space, and the fact that from the perspective of a photon everything happens instantly, then repeat the 2 slit experiments in two ways: by firing a single photon and by firing a concentrated short stream of photons, you get to see the ERRORS which are NOT data errors but errors of failure to explain the events using proper terms. There's no "universe decided", there's no "uncertainty', those are just failures to define things properly, we simply have no way of measuring the exact position of a photon on it's path from the source to the real wall in the double slit experiment cause it happens INSTANTLY, cause photons move at the speed of light, it's as simple as that. Also, if we'd try to measure which slit was the one photon passed through, we create quantum interference with our measuring devices, thus we can't determine the result. If you use logic and say, ok, it's a wave, obviously it'll pass through both slits and had self-interference, however, that wave carries energy in the form of light, which will be released only "on impact", we can then cover one slit and see that sometimes the light will appear on the cover, sometimes it'll pass through the other slit and hit the wall behind, meaning, there's no "observation" involved, which is another confusing term that suggests that if we'd LOOK, we'd get one result and if we'd turn our head around, we'd get a different result (wave or particle), which is WRONG. Measuring devices are what's meant by observation. There's no collapse of the wave function, (I will speak in pain words even it's NOT a correct way to explain) wave exists, but the energy carried is released in a single spot, you can imagine it as a surfer on a wave. The duality of photons, electrons and other particles is the property that seems confusing, however, if you'd read about packages of energy (there's a great video on how the Sun releases it's energy) you begin to realize that things are actually far simpler than presented.
Scientists aren't really good at explaining things outside math, which is the biggest problem one may have, given that one has some basic math knowledge and understanding of the concept of imaginary numbers (mainly sqrt(i)=-1). Multidimensional objects aren't that hard to understand either, once you get past 5th dimension, the number of dimensions doesn't matter anymore (just pay attention on objects that have radius i/e circle, ball etc), it's the same principle just repeated more times, however, going back from 248th dimension to 8th and gauge symmetry is REALLY intense, so I would suggest a pack of headache pills, God knows I needed them (had a headache for 3 days after understanding light speed and time, roughly a week after gauge symmetry studies).
I hope we are now clear on my intentions, it's not my goal to pick a fight but to show that ppl need to clear the definitions first, what is EXACTLY meant by them, and eliminate what's NOT first, then concentrate on what IS. IMO any 3 digit IQ person shouldn't have huge problems with basics of QF and QM, only with words used to explain them.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 I mentioned in the long comment: repeat the experiment yourself. You actually can, if you care, there are kits sold for $200-$400, and you may even ask to be present in a college class when such experiments are performed and not spend money.
@@ronaldoquintos1675 I wasn't debating you, I was trying to tell you that QM and QF aren't exclusive to scientists when it comes to a higher level of understanding, and that if you want, you can learn more without some big scare. There are companies that build quantum computers and enthusiasts who follow that development, so, they certainly understand a lot. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't understand or learn about. Try and see for yourself, that's all I'm saying (with some pointers), and that's not QM and QF exclusive, applies to everything. TY for your time and patience.
The Double Slit has always been once of the most fascinating experiments to me. I guess they figured this video had enough mind-blowing information since they didn't mention that when sensors are placed at the slits to try and identify which slit the particle chooses, the pattern on the screen disappears and is replaced with just two columns.
The observer effect.
I was disappointed to ser that they didn't include this part. It's what really makes it special, for me.
Yep ur right..it was the worse description of it I've ever heard
@Christopher Michael the emoticon hearts in this are fckn killing me lmao
That’s another lie from the QT theorists. Because you then use two seperate detectors detecting light from each slit. And qt madmen forget to tell viewers that the light from each slit doesn’t give an interference pattern simply because it didn’t have a chance to interfere with any light from the other slit. !! But these quantum lies get unchallenged because viewers think the qt theorists are reliable. They arent. They lie all the time.

Plot twist: reality is a simulation and this is actually the result of a coding error.
Actually in the world of coding this is called "lazy evaluation" where you don't bother to find the exact answer until just before you need it. That way you don't waste time calculating answers you never end up using. If ever there was an argument that we are living in a simulation, this is it. I know if I was writing a simulation I'd be using lazy evaluation as it would significantly reduce the CPU time required to run it!

To put it simple, light is made up of particles called photons. When light travels, it travels in a wave, similar to a ocean wave or if you think of how cell phone signals travel. Basically that experiment proved that Light/group of photons even though it travels as a wave, somehow wave function collapses, and the photons are able to act and communicate with its other photons and it chooses its final path due to probabilities of its path.

Garnet L. i hate when people say this. it’s not the act of us SEEING the particles that changes the experiment. any measurement we take has an effect on the experiment itself. the reason the electrons changed back to particles was because the detectors interfered with the electrons, not because electrons “magically know when they’re being watched” or that typical bullshit most people peddle without knowing anything about quantum mechanics.

Its a fascinating experiment. So fascinating that I decided to have a go at doing it myself a few years ago. I managed to get hold of a photomultiplier tube from a surplus store. Build the required special power supply and a water cooled pelter based cooler to take the tube down to -25C which reduces the dark current to the point where single photon detection becomes possible. Using a slice of CD as the diffraction surface with a synchronous motor to rotate it and and led in a box with a pinhole as the light source.
It actually worked by passing the anode current directly though a pair of headphones, it sounded like the patter of rain. Turning the led current down you could hear the individual click of photons been detected. The way the volume went up and down clearly showed the diffraction patten.
That is insanely cool that you were able to do that, and where was this surplus store that had a photomultiplier laying around?
+CookatooDude It was a place called Bull electronics many many years ago. I got the last one. But If you look at eBay they have quite a few listed at the moment.
Mark Gohl Yeah ebay has some really cool stuff, I found some pretty neat electron microscopes a little bit ago.
+CockatooDude Not a common item. Last ones I saw where on pallets and wrapped in plastic. Looked quite a job to put it together. Kind of interesting but outside of my price bracket. If you are interested in the photomultiplier I suggest you get the data sheets via Google. There are many types differing in the spectral response and sensitivity. It will mention photon counting on the data sheet if a particular tube has that ability.
A smaller cathode and low dark count are highly desirable. One tip NEVER power one up anywhere that is brighter than a darkroom. It will be instantly destroyed. If they have been in the light they need several hours in the dark before the tube will settle down.
Mark Gohl Well I much appreciate the information and will try to remember as much as possible. But I am afraid my interests lie in different places, which I find fascinating, but which may appear more mundane to others. The most complicated thing I need for my current project is a turbocharger bearing from a truck motor, and a hobby jet engine ignition system, because I don't feel like making my own. Sorry if this makes it seem like I wasn't interested, because I was, but an experiment like this isn't something I feel that I could repeat reliably. But I digress, sorry for the ramble.
Let's say we live in simulation. The particles would be simulated only when observed. When not observed they appear as waves to save CPU power :-)
@Kargadan Yes I see. But if the universe is infinite you need infinite cpu power but every coder will implement a failsafe. And the best failsafe would be infinite -1 (low resolution texture ergo wave function of particle)
@Kargadan omg
Or maybe if the universe was simulated they could make such a universe that when a civilization becomes advanced enough to observe things smaller than a certain scale our tools would not work. It would take significantly less processing power to do so. Why would they allow us to observe subatomic particles, for example? We already had accepted at one point that atom was the smallest block of matter everything is made out of. It would take exponentially more power to simulate a quantum mechanical universe compared to one where atom is the smallest block of matter. So maybe this is not a simulation?
These matrix jokes are starting to run rampant. Any simulation needs a reality putting it together, the way our supposed reality works it can't sustain a simulation of the very same thing. We can make something of an illusion using hollow 3d objects and draw distance. You can only do so much with 1's and 0's tied to metal conduction. Funny enough an IDE can generate logic that is more versatile than real life logic, much like the human mind. Maybe in a reality outside of our own which is holding ours as a simulation it is all possible through logic that works beyond gates and linear connections.

It was about all particles also exist as waves simultaneously. In the experiment, individual photons were shot through a double slit. The photons produced an interference pattern even though they were fired individually. When they tried to determine which slit the photon went through the photons formed two bands instead of an interference pattern. The act of Observing a photon changed it's behavior.

Very cool video!
Why didn't you talk about the very strange thing that happens if you try to determine which slit the electron went through?
I was looking forward to hearing/seeing your explanation of it :-(
Also, I've always wondered how small the slits have to be for this to happen. How much does the size of the slit effect the result?
I'm not a physicist, but I think I remember, when we had this in school, that the reason electrons don't build this pattern, if you know which slit they took, because when you determine the position of the electron the wave function collapses, because the electron is forced to interact with something in order to be "observed". And since after the electron leaves the slit there is no more reason for the wave to interfere with anything it just travels "straight forward".
I hope you could understand me and if I'm wrong, please correct me :)
You're correct and I understand the basics of it. But I want more than basics. I want to know the fine details of how they measured it and where they measured it. How does measuring it at different places effect the result?
The slits need to be on the same scale as the wavelength. I did the experiment (not single photon, of course) in college with microwaves and the slits we used were about an inch in size and an inch apart. DeBrogle waves, which are the wave-like nature of what had been though of previously as particles, were discovered by scattering electrons off a crystal that functioned as VERY small slits.
I assume quantum eraser will be coming eventually. It isn't usually in the standard progression of topics on wavefunction interpretation but it should be and given the level of this channel I expect it probably will be.

96%.....Instead Of sticking for approximately 100 years with hundreds of thousands of unproductive “paid scientists”- concentrate more on the 96% Of The Universe, Which remains unknown...Oh well I suppose that you know that anyway. Strive, more efficiently to find the next Einstein from the millions of starving humanity, that truly is a more worthy cause, than Thousands of Scientists just keep telling us the same story, when the answer is starving to tell us!?

Delayed-choice quantum eraser experiment: "Hold my tequila."
my sense of reality was radically changed by just one slit. I could have only imagined two at the same time.
Clap ... clap. Underrated comment.
Best comment of all time, haha
Two sets of identical twins in my neighborhood, growing up; all four gorgeous - all four curious - all four satisfied. Own the video TODAY!! $49.95
very good. very good.
The reality is that we are all made from a spectrum of frequencies. You cannot see all spectrum of frequencies but you can see the spectrum of light and year the spectrum of sound frequencies. We have thoughts because thoughts is a form of frequency which gives you the ability to imagine. The location of your imagination has limitless speed and far beyond the speed of light. When you close your eyes, your thoughts are linked to the entire spectrum of frequencies which allows you to visualize in your brain which are all linked to all existence instantaneously. Anything you can think of exist in the universe, another dimensions & nature. The universe & nature is a huge place far bigger than our thoughts. Therefore, if you can imagine of something, it exists.
Yes, we are interconnected with the entire universe and beyond because everything breakdown to frequency itself. The resonance increases to form a higher level of frequency and it keeps on doing that indefinitely. The only force that brought everything together is "gravity". If a person is born blind, deaf and paralyzed, then the only thing the person can utilized to communicate is through thoughts. Which is a spectrum of frequency that our brain could recognize/detect and that we are still trying to understand it. That person will have no clue what existence is but in that person's mind, he/she could still imagine. It's a pure form of imagination because the person's mind was never bombarded with the outside world.
Did it really break reality, or only our preconceived ideas?
The second one. Unfortunate title is moderately click-baity. :
Well, more like broke the understanding of reality. If anything breaks reality and has support of theory then it becomes the new reality instead, our understanding of reality that is anyways
+Arnab Biswas if I didn't know about this experiment, did it break my reality?
Well, maybe not only that. Reality is the set of real things. This wave of possibilities act "beyond reality" because things are not only non-existent or existent but have a range of posible states in different intensities. I wouldn't say break reality but break existence. But yes. Maybe is just a semantic issue. Sorry for my english (I've sounded like a new age moron)
+GloveSlapnz I think when were talking about a scientific video, you can assume "broke reality" means it broke the current understanding scientists had. I hate clickbait, this video isn't clickbait. It literally broke the understanding of reality
Wave/particle interference holds a fundamental secret into the workings of the universe. When it is finally solved, it will not only cause a revolution in physics, but likely in our lives and outlook.
maybe there's a fundamental buckyball field?
Nailed it. Give this man a Nobel Prize!
In QFT there's a buckyball field, but it's not fundamental, it's composed of actual fundamental fields like the photon field.
+gareth dean so basically that means there are all kinds of composite fields, which is just another way of describing pretty much anything non-fundamental, including matter
i hope you're not taking that from the 'fundamental' platonic solids where the dodecahedron was the cosmos. Its just that the smaller something is, the more likely that the current model of the quantum ever-permeating field will oscillate in such a way as to affect it. aka: small things are waves and probability functions until we force nature to choose one position (ie we make a measurement)

Would that mean that consciousness created the universe? That it was here before what we call reality?
Pilot-wave theory for the win! ;)
Pilot-wave doesn't get enough love, and it has a pretty tight explanation of double slit!
Exactly, pilot waves yo
I'm a little rough on it, but doesn't pilot wave theory fall to Kochen-Specker? It stands uo to Bell's theorem, but didn't Bell prove later that to make it work relativistically you'd have to alter it to give up the deterministic nature that made it so attractive?
I'm hoping he gets into those topics later. There are far too few places online to find a reasonable explanation of the stuff beyond Bell's Theorem.
Pilot wave is like printing off more money to fix the debt. It creates more problems than it fixes
Cosmic Atrophy
and why is that?
"We now have a winner in the Quantum Race"
Hey! You changed the results by observing them!
JarOfRats really?
Farnsworth!!
Actually thats not accurate according to quantum physics. The results did not exist until we observed them. Change would mean that we knew the results before observation, but that in itself cant be true because knowing is a form of observation.
First time I saw two slits simultaneously my reality changed as well
This is an experiment you can do yourself! Take a piece of paper and make two very thin slits through the paper (the small, the better the interference patterns you get), and, in a dark room, flash a light at the two slits (the two slits should be less than 800 nm apart for best effect). You should get an interference pattern. If the slits are small enough (and you use sun in a dark box with slits, INSTEAD of a flashlight, you get a rainbow interference pattern!
You can also just bob two rubber balls over a smooth surface of water (like a lake) to make the interference waves, but light is so much more fun!

@@GamerMinecraftivity So? I like science experiments. And I would prefer to keep this chat science- oriented anyways.
Maybe the photons do have an idea where the previous photon has gone. Perhaps they leave some "Impression" in the air (space/time) and this influences where the next photon goes.
Has the experiment been done:
- Waiting a large amount of time between firing photons.
or
- Have the platform moving so that any "Imprint" in the air is not effective.
Well, the experiment is often conducted in a vacuum, so I would rule "air" out of the equation at least. :3
There is no air (but even perfect vaccuum is full of fields and virtual particles).
You should not move the wall were the results are "printed", as otherwise the accumulative efect will be just smooth random dots.
You could in theory change the wall for another new wall per each photon (not easy to do in a vaccuum, and it will be expensive as shit); then adding each position per wall into a computer to graph the results. [It will be the same].
It is easier to think on this by adding aditional dimensions outside time [were the ghost/shadows of each wavefunction can meet and interact with all others that passed that localized region of space through the entire history [past and future] of the universe (almost all of those will be too weak to be relevant).
+Ali Raheem
And we have no idea how or why it works :D
It can't be imprints on space time because the earth moves constantly through it extremely quickly
We would move away from any 'photon path' at thousands of kilometres per second
Geoff Brom Wouldn't it inherit the momentum of the Earth?
