Mr. Petrov, you are one of my favorite podcasts because of your direct, straightforward approach. I believe you are earnest and have no agenda other than honest reporting of information.
human brain prefers to give false positives rather than false negatives if youre seeing a tiger's eye, you need to react to a tiger, or you definitely die if you see a tiger's eye, but it isnt, you need to react like it's a tiger's eye anyway, because if you decide not to you may die. in nature false positives in thought and perception are selected for, but they get in the way of truth.
Testing them is _always_ the foundation though - _that's_ what science _actually_ is, first and foremost it's empirical. Imagination as a way to generate _testable_ hypotheses is part of the science toolbox. Imagination pointed in any random direction, not so much.
All I do is art and politics... and politics has become less and less about facts or logic and more on feelings. Your channel is like a shower for my brain. Thank you.

That is true for all “particles and forces” 👍 or rather they are a result of the propagation of the shared medium (medium being the evolving substrate).
Anton, you are my favorite break, from watching news the rest of my day! Your reports truly expand my mind. Ironically, like this particular video, I am 'enlightened'!! Every sense of the word in this case.
I love how you are the person from whom I get to hear so many amazing new things. It's as if, because you're the intermediary, they all get given a special compassionate spin.
still not clear how a single photon can "look" like anything, nor what that image actually represents. things having a visual appearance is such a macro-level, human interpretation of the universe I don't see (!) how it can apply at the quantum level of a photon.
Well, not the emitted photons themselves - the photons emitted by (one pathway of) uranium decay are gamma rays which are _way_ outside the visible spectrum (wavelengths _thousands_ of times shorter than UV light, so we can't see them). Sounds like you used a scintillation detector, an instrument in which ionising radiation (e.g. from decaying uranium) interacts with and excites atoms in a luminescent material, which then emits _visible_ photons. So the photons are _caused by_ radiation but they're not the actual photons _from_ radioactive decay. Still pretty cool though :).
this is super fascinating! thanks for the video. however, just like a footprint of a shoe in the sand doesn’t really tell us how the show itself looks like, rather just the sole, i am guessing this visualization, as impressive as it is, and it is very much so, still probably doesn’t tell how a photon really looks like. not even close imho
While theoretical models can be powerful tools for understanding and predicting phenomena, their extrapolations should be approached with caution. The accuracy of these predictions depends on the validity of the underlying assumptions, the nature of the model itself, and the degree to which conditions remain consistent with those assumed in the model. Therefore, it is essential to critically evaluate any extrapolated results and recognize their limitations rather than assuming they are accurate representations of reality.
@@luudest honestly it doesn’t tell us much, some yes but not much. imagine a shoe leaving an imprint in the sand, you won’t be able to imagine the shoe, or if you see a small burnt spot on a piece of wood, could you be able to discern from it how a fire looks like? so it might tell us some things, but imho not much. at least for now
Yes, I don't believe the actual visual representation is "scientifically helpful" . But if I understand correctly it's the actual information that was used to derive the image from, which is scientifically valuable ?
Thank you Anton. This indeed a daunting topic. I thought a photon does not exist until it interacts with matter. If you can observe a photon, it is because it interacts with your eye >brain. But I don't know what I am talking about. Best wishes my friend.
woah, im one of the first 100 comments! what a time to be alive! the research paper about this is super short too! super, super cool! lovely to have anton talking about it!!
Wow! It looks like a Mandela! That makes total sense! Wave and particle combined! The sphere of influence is a particle but inside it is all wave! And the mandalas are snapshots of the evolving fluid wave inside! Absolutely stunningly beautiful!
Except we don't actually know for sure that light is actually massless. All we actually DO know about it is that if it does have mass it's at an upper limit of 9.52 × 10^-46 kg.
Here's my theory things seen as particles are just a strongly connected group of waves. Thus the group of waves always has some chance to pass through or between other groups of waves explaining away quantum effects. On the cosmic scale space being stretched would tear space apart causing waves to appear seemingly out of nowhere. Thus explaining effects on the macro scale...
I had quite a laugh when I read about it in the news, they said that scientists discovered what a photon looks like and referred to the 'photo' of it. Like it was actually photographed!
The channel "The Slow Mo Guys" did a video a few years back, recorded at Caltech, of a laser beam passing through a vial of diluted milk, filmed at ten trillion frames per second.
it looks granular, although that is likely an effect of the interactions, not intrinsic to the photon. it makes one wonder though if photons could have sub-photonic particles as atoms do
In the fictional novel the three body problem, subatomic particles can be unfolded into planes which are bigger in surface area than celestial bodies like Earth. Funny how fiction often precedes discoveries. It will be cool to see how information dense these tiny packets really are.
So if all these things, are like radiation waves (like gamma, visible, infrared, radion, ect), then photons are just particles from part of the spectrum, which we can see with our eyes (basically antennas with a signal booster, known as eyeball/lens), then other parts of the spectrum should have the particles too (like in ultraviolet, if some can see little more and some less, of the edge of that spectrum), it would prpbably not mean that there more or less photons exist for each persons. So we know alhpa, beta, gama particles, now we know photons, so it should be simmilar in other spectrums too i'd gues.. and the constant speed in vacuum... too much physics for me ;)
I showed this vid to a friend, he laughed while saying basically the same thing. I then looked in the comments and found yours, showed him and we had another round of laughs. All jokes aside though, might very well be the first step, well maybe.😂
In Star Trek Enterprise I finally learned that photon torpedoes are anti-matter weapons. When anti-matter slams into matter they annihilate each other producing very high energy gamma ray photons: E = (2×m) × c^2.
About that single photon moving through the bottle - what does it use to illuminate the bottle as it passes? Photons? Do photons shine? If so, what, and what with?
People think of time as moving, Maybe time is no time , and no time is actually time standing still., in it's Own dimension. Time being something that you cannot comprehend becomes something that you can comprehend, in that dimension.
Light is perhaps the oddest thing ever. We can't see photons - their arrival is only proved by reflection. Interesting model, but is it actually a discovery? Models, these days, always deserve close inspection. I'm inclined to think this is good work, as wakes and waves seem to be complementary phenomenon.
It would be interesting to see if physics could ACTUALLY find what the energy is that all particles and matter have in them. What exactly is an electron volt and what does it look like etc.
Hi Anton, Do you have any links to something about photon density? I am now confused, thinking that from a point source, there is a wave field propagating, but how close would photons be to each other around that spherical propagation? Maybe this is a little to much for one comment...
Remember…Photons do not have to be nano sized sub atomic objects…A radio wave can be miles long between ‘wave crests’. How should be visualise that to be? Remember also, although we show the wave form as wobbly strings at right angles, all that is wobbling is the intensity of field strength.
The radio wave is my preferred way of looking at it :) The peak of the amplitude is usually what is visible or detectable to us, like a blip at the peak energy point. A bit like looking down on a wave on a pond, but we can only see a small part of the crest of the wave that looks point like :)
P.S. That crest is rounded rather than a neat peak. The more you zoom in on it the more flat and fuzzy it appears, and the more you zoom out the rounded peak appears more pointed.
Photons arise from quantum transition effects. There is no direct evidence they even exist below 50GHz. Artificially generated radio waves usually don't involve quantum phenomena so are unlikely to be photonic at all. However, some naturally occuring radio signals mainly of cosmological origin such as the 1.4GHz hydrogen line and the CMB do arise from quantum transitions so are quite likely ensembles of low energy photons.
modern science always relates a photon to the sun, whereas in reality every atom emits "photons," where intensity, among other attributes can vary from slight to dramatic. they do not drift thru space...an event happens and effects are created. the event cannot cause a singular photon that drifts thru space, but diffuses out from itself. even then, relativity shows us that even a singular event, is a mere chaos of billions and trillions of much smaller events, some still unknown to us today. life within life within life - a so called divine infinity
It's still not a wave. I'm not any closer to seeing the duality. Mabe they could have done CGI how photons attach?A mystery is how massless particles carry energy.
I have a question. A change in the Earth's axis of a couple of feet would cause a displacement of an enormous amount of water in the oceans, especially in parts of the world that are inhabited and especially noticed. My question is, have any scenarios been run through super computers to graph any changes in sea level? If so, what do we have?
No real scenario where the earth could change by a couple of feet on it's axis other that over billions of years or if we were to be hit by the moon :) There are scenarios where an out of balance spinning object can suddenly tilt by 90 deg on it's axis. This would cause an initial slosh of the oceans across the planet (Plus severe climate alterations) which would be pretty devastating. 2 regions on the face of the earth near the equator would remain at the equator and everywhere else would change. Those 2 regions would not have as much impact as other regions (the rest of the planet). They did do modeling way back, but it's difficult to predict due to not knowing where those 2 locations would randomly be as well as the ocean and continent layout depending upon those 2 locations. . Don't stress. It is very unlikely (scientific study) that it will occur any time soon :)
It's the same type of photon's image, like the back-holes' images we've seen recently. It's an outcome of a computation resting on some assumptions. It looks coo, but I am skeptical in terms of its credibility.
I keep conceptualizing this loose pattern of a photon processor, to replace current CPU and be both faster and more energy efficient. I am horrible at math so I don’t know physics but every time I see something explained this pattern keeps trying to form in my head and I think it might be true. It almost seems like you could create an analog and digital processor at the same time because the photon has both a wave and protocol property.
I think we should be able to create a processor out of graphene and the gates would be formed by 90° vectors, to make non-linear transitions like a die or transistor
Maybe the space between the sheets of graphing would be silicon and act as a wave guide for the photons. The equivalent of a copper trace on a circuit board or in the CPU.
I gotta say, that image is about as underwhelming as the 2011 coke bottle video. can't we at least get some speculation about what it is we're looking at? why does it appear to have antipodal poles? what's with those ripples in the center, and the calm circle at the bullseye?
That one is a bit on the heavy side for my brain to process. However, I suspect this may open new doors which will eventually allow us to move through space at currently unimaginable rates. That is probably another several centuries away but, it's a start. As long as the species known as human can avoid destroying itself and all life on planet Earth before then.
0:30 so more imaginative animations? Color me shocked. There is no little ball looking object thats called a photon. No particle takes a shape, theyre excitations in fields. Thats it, points of energy. Why are constantly fed nonsense when we've known this for a century?

I keep conceptualizing this loose pattern of a photon processor, to replace current CPU and be both faster and more energy efficient. I am horrible at math so I don’t know physics but every time I see something explained this pattern keeps trying to form in my head and I think it might be true. It almost seems like you could create an analog and digital processor at the same time because the photon has both a wave and protocol property.
I think we should be able to create a processor out of graphene and the gates would be formed by 90° vectors, to make non-linear transitions like a die or transistor
Maybe the space between the sheets of graphing would be silicon and act as a wave guide for the photons. The equivalent of a copper trace on a circuit board or in the CPU.
The physicist can roll that around in their head and see if it makes any sense. Lol
I gotta say, that image is about as underwhelming as the 2011 coke bottle video. can't we at least get some speculation about what it is we're looking at? why does it appear to have antipodal poles? what's with those ripples in the center, and the calm circle at the bullseye?
That one is a bit on the heavy side for my brain to process. However, I suspect this may open new doors which will eventually allow us to move through space at currently unimaginable rates. That is probably another several centuries away but, it's a start. As long as the species known as human can avoid destroying itself and all life on planet Earth before then.
Wow, nice backgrounds.
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🫡✌️😎
Hi Matey, great job your doing. But does it have the same footprint while being observed and not?
I wonder what would happen if there were a universe with only a single atom that emitted a photon that had nowhere to "land".
Thanks!
5:08 Wow! It's look like a cell with a nucleus...
Well, if the photons detected by the eyes look like the eyes itself means one thing: God really have a great sense of humor.
There we go again. First,it was the "first picture of a black hole", now a photon...
nah, not a picture, more like a simulation
No, _first_ I was afraid (I was petrified) _then_ it was a picture of a black hole...
@@o1-preview Guess you're one of those people who didn't get that the "picture" of the black hole was also a simulation and not a real picture.
0:30 so more imaginative animations? Color me shocked. There is no little ball looking object thats called a photon. No particle takes a shape, theyre excitations in fields. Thats it, points of energy. Why are constantly fed nonsense when we've known this for a century?
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not
Kinda like getting a picture of a black hole by the stars rotating around it.
So....how is this an accomplishment?
A picture of what we THINK a photon looks like?
We cannot even explain then still.
bizarre. and it makes one wonder what things will become of this discovery.
How does something so small travel so far, so fast and retain it's energy and how far can it theoretically travel in a straight line before it decays.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Look like a cell, everything is one, the universe is alive and conscious
If you could take a lot of chance and radomness out substomic reactions actions energies. Would be able to do more less energy and more procision
Would the structure mapped by the model change in other materials? That would help prove the model.
