That is a real gift, especially for teaching! I’m liking, subscribing and commenting on Parth G. Consider me a Parth Groupie!!!
wind up in a ditch that cracked me up totally, that's basically me after half an hour into my mathematics class guess its high time i fix that up bruh-
The David Bohm book is one of my Quantum Mechanics books. It is a good book, probably among my top three books on the subject. I like to read as many books as possible on various topics because the different approaches give me good ideas for teaching. Sometimes there will be a golden nugget that makes a point better than any I have seen before.
@@suatustel746 With all due respect to Bohm, this famous and humorous answer was from danish physicist Niels Bohr - as far as I know. When you say "Father" this also points to Bohr, who was active as early as 1913. (Difference of only one letter makes confusion easy)

Hey, Parth thank you for the video you explained everything so well and simple so I could understand and you also added a lot of visual examples to enhance the experience, 10/10!!!
Thank you Parth for your clear explanation! I wish Einstein was still alive and hear what he would say about the experiments done by these three Nobel Prize winners.
Even before watching the entire video I feel the urge to say THANK YOU for dropping the music right after the opening. I've tried to watch other 2 videos about the topic but the background music was so out of place and intrusive that I had to close them. Finally a video that won't give me migraine!
I think something important to keep clear: it isn't hidden variable models per se that Bell's theorem disproves, but local hidden variable models. Bell himself repeatedly pointed out that there is a hidden variable model which makes all the same predictions as QM and which is not disproven by Bell's theorem, namely, Bohmian mechanics. It is also worth noting that the EPR argument shows that the assumption of locality actually implies that there must be hidden variables. (See Travis Norsen's articles on Bell's theorem and the EPR argument.) So by EPR, locality -> hidden variables, and by Bell's theorem, locality + hidden variables -> Bell's inequality is satisfied. Stringing the two arguments together, locality -> Bell's inequality is satisfied. But the experimental work of Aspect and others awarded for this 2022 Nobel Prize shows that Bell's inequality is violated. So what they have definitely proved wrong, specifically, is the assumption of locality.
Yes, thanks a lot for your important clarification. As far as I remember Bohm was badly treated in USA and emigrated to UK. I wonder why his theory is much ignored.
Huh. I just realized (assuming I didn't overlook anything) that there are three different expectations for this problem. Classically we expect the particles to already be in some state; QT says they aren't, but measuring one will instantaneously change the other, but GR says that "instantaneously" isn't even defined - different observers will see one first, the other first, or both at the same time, for any two events! This means that the measurement should really assert the state of the other particle back to a point in time immediately after the two particles split.
You're right about the GR issue (in fact SR is sufficient for this) but it doesn't "assert the state" of the other particle. What happens is that the observer splits - and each copy of him corresponds to one copy of the remote particle. So, if all of the observers (in their respective universes) travel over to have a look at the other particle, they will each find the appropriate version of it. But it's not like that particle "collapsed". It remained in superposition, but now the first observer is a corresponding set of superposed copies.
The entanglement state is explained by the fact that both entangled particles have a single wave function. When you measure one particle, the wave function collapses and the other particle becomes its opposite. This is why it is claimed that the speed of light is not exceeded. But there is a problem with this explanation. The other particle cannot recover from the superposition state until the information that the "wavefunction collapses" reaches the other particle. In this case, the information that the "wave function collapses" exceeds the speed of light.
Thank you for perspective on this and I'm glad my research on this year's prizes brought me to your channel! Congrats to all the winners (though I'm partial to Dr. Clauser, because I dig his vibe).
The wave function doesn't describe properties, it describes the probability of results of measurements. If there is no measurement then there is no collapse (solution) to a wave function. So with an entangled pair of particles each with an opposite spin, that state will remain until after one of the pair, say the Local one is measured. If a second measurement is made on that Local particle, and the spin different from the interaction of the first measurement then the Remote particle may be measured to have a different spin or orientation. Correlated, but not necessarily opposite. Hidden variables are not necessary.
Is it known for certain that once the source is caused to produce two matched electrons, they will both definitely have complimentary/entangled/opposing angular momentums?
awesome explanation ... .... I was curious to understand wether we can now communicate faster than speed of light or not since the particles can .... can we now ?
Bell's Inequality doesn't categorically rule out state variables. What we can rule out is a constant state variable that has no time-varying perturbations around some ergodic mean. Bell allowed that the presumptive state variable could include a time-varying component. The most obvious one to consider would be something akin to Larmor Precession around some ergodic mean spatial direction of the magnetic moment vector. In order for Bell's math to work, one then has to adopt a framework in which timekeeping is uniform everywhere and everywhen, so that the presumptive state variable can be treated as a odd function, so that λ(x,t) ≡ -λ(-x,t) for all x and t. But under GR, we know that timekeeping varies from one location to the next, due to the presence of any gravitational gradients along the path of an integration. That is, Bell would have needed to employ a gravitational path integral to account for differential phase shift in the time-varying terms in λ(x,t). Since we have no practical way to account for gravitational gradients, we are left to reckoning the effects of decoherence (loss of ideal phase-locked synchrony), and this explains why Bell's Inequality is inapplicable to our cosmos where time-keeping is local. Thus you can hypothesize a realistic time-varying state variable (e.g. Larmor Precession around some unchanging ergodic mean), but then you have to admit idiosyncratic local timekeeping due the existence of gravitational gradients in our cosmos.
Bell's inequality doesn't prove Einstein wrong. It only proves entanglement is true. Einstein doesn't disagree with entanglement being true. He even wrote a paper describing how communication can occur faster than the speed of light through the use of Einstein Rosen bridge. He solved Einstein field equation to describe wormhole.
Thanks! Loved Alain's experiment years ago. Great to see someone dig up and broadcast the background! The theory explanation seems good, kinda hand-wavy, but it doesn't get all the way to the current Nobel prize. Maybe I missed that part?
Please go over Bell's Inequality!! I have been self-studying QM for 6 months now and it's really the one area I have failed to understand: how determinism has been disproven.
hidden variable determines the fate of the particles from beforehand, that's where the determinism comes from. without a hidden variable the fates of the particles would have to be communicated to each other over a duration of time and determinism would arrive that way. Both have been disproven thus disproving determinism.
@@SC-zq6cu This is false. There is a deterministic hidden variable theory which makes the same predictions as QM in regards to the violations of Bell's inequality, namely Bohmian mechanics. Bell himself was well aware of this - learning about Bohmian mechanincs it is what motivated him to come up with Bell's theorem in the first place. What Bell's theorem and the experimental violations of Bell's inequality show is that locality is false; it does not rule out non-local hidden variables or determinism.
Interesting. So is the Pauli Exclusion principle because the e.g. 2 electrons have to have opposite spins so that they have a net angular momentum of zero?
This is the only Nobel prize given out for the last decade that i can say is truly deserved. I predict the Nobel will soon be a thing of the past. What a sad day though that will be.
Thank you for your great video on this topic. In my humble opinion, the problem arises because there is a misunderstanding at the level of the measurements and on what we really measure, the measurements are not carried out at a distance but at the level of the correlation therefore very locally. It is all the interest of the EPR experiments to make clear the nature of the measurement in the experiment without which one arrives at absurdities like the instantaneous transmission in complete contradiction with relativity.
Excellent teaching ....I will have to watch this video many times to understand your conclusion clearly. Do you have info on the nature of the experiments that resulted in the data that proved Einstein wrong?
Great video Parth. It will be incomplete without Bell's inequality. There are others, I have watched them but not gotten completely. Something tells me, I will get it if you are the teacher.
Digestible even for a high school student like me. You're just getting better and better. I'd love a video on the Bell Inequality if it is even 1/5th as comprehensible for me as this video
I loved your video, one of few physics video which I - non-physician- was able to follow :-). All explained in simple understandable language in a sensible pace, well done 😉.
I am not much into this level of physics, but I wanted to know if This means that quantum entanglement theory is correct and that information is travelling instantly? Or Quantum entanglement theory exists only because it hasn't been proven wrong yet?
Hey Parth, love your channel! Newb question, how do we rectify QM with say, relativity of simultaneity? For example, if there exists a frame for another observer where our past or future is indeed real, how does QM still make this uncertain if someone already knows what the outcome is? It is simply because they could never pass that information onto us?
An important question which should be asked more often. My answer is that the nonlocal event in question is random at least to the degree that it can be used to construct a reliable Vernam cipher. The rules of the game are different for random events. They are uncontrollable, and the apparent relativity of cause and effect, if we still insist on using those concepts, is nothing to object to. If we try to do a Lorentz transformation to catch out an event, then by the time we have done a real LT the nonlocal event is ancient history. In a computer simulation we would use a random number generator coupled to a numerical solution of a set of differential equations. There would be a button to do a Lorentz boost which would have the side effect of reseeding the RNG. The framework of the simulation would then be a temporary privileged framework which allows nonlocal processes to happen without issues.
@@david_porthouse thanks! You've give me a lot to chew on, I'm going to have to dig deeper into your explanation. I'm not a physicist and definitely not a computer scientist so a lot of the terms you used are foreign to me, but I am at least familiar with LTs and nonlocal events, so will try to piece together what you've said. I also recognize how non-trivial it is to generate a truly random number, if it's even possible at all....
@@booJay Random number generation would be delegated to a separate module whose details are hidden to us. Initially we might use the Mersenne twister, but the module could be replaced at random and without notice with something else, for example an ERNIE-like device which uses quantum mechanics to generate a classical random number. The module would offer methods to seed it, to reseed it and to generate a new random number. The point is that the LT reseeds the RNG as a side effect, which wrecks any attempt to catch out the proposition that we have a temporarily privileged inertial framework. I call this the Protean system. We are allowed to cheat!
Great video, thank you! At some point you said that *both* locality and statistical independence are violated, but that is not true. The Bell experiments show that *either* the assumption of locality or statistical independence are broken.
Parth, the moustache fits well. And also, know, that you have rekindled my love for theoretical physics. Being a military engineer, I veered off course from that subject, but it is never late to get back.
This is the kind of contents that should have been the focus of today's generation, but unfortunately, we are seeing the trend of them using the TikTok and wasting their lives with useless contents and games. It's a revolution here, and only a few is a part of it.
The Noble Price on QM entanglement did not proof Einstein wrong because Entanglement is not the same as "Spooky Action at Distance" as written in the EPR paper.
E is not wrong indeed. Qigong-Lesson 38. Hetu Luoshu that saves the world (12) Quantum Entanglement - The Circulation System of the Five Elements of Yin and Yang In the previous lesson, we mentioned the connection between two particles in quantum entanglement that is left to be searched by scientists. In fact, this connection is equivalent to the cycle of yin and yang in the Hetuo. It is a cyclic connection, that is, The two (half-quantum) divided into two are connected by two pipes to establish a pressure cycle. It can be deduced from this that the thinking and experiments of the predecessors and top scientists are actually inferring a "river map", and the so-called "quantum entanglement" is to "dissect" a five-element yin and yang system, which is divided into two, using " entanglement" to show the "cycle", the relative spin is yin and yang. Of course, Hetu more metaphysically gives the "model" of this system, as well as the related "digital" arrangements and combinations. As for "quantum tunneling", I have already mentioned about "pressure relief" in the previous text, "quantum" is released from the pressure of the system, and the "quantum" released from the pressure is of course freed from The previous pressure in the system. The situation is consistent with the phenomenon of quantum tunneling. In fact, quantum mechanics, when entering the logic of "quantum entanglement"/"quantum tunneling", has actually returned to the uniform universe level. Instead of thinking about an independent particle, it is a "system" and uniform performance. Going back to the beginning of Quantum mechanics, everyone will have a clearer understanding of the phenomenon of the entire five-element yin-yang system. Linus
This was explained so well. Thank you. I have watched many videos on this subject and always got lost, but this was brilliant, even though I struggled towards the end as my brain was struggling to keep up. 😄
I have listened to many videos on this subject because I was deeply curious about it. Since I'm a mere intellectual mortal when it comes to physics, I looked at many in hopes of finding one that I could understand. This one is one of the best I have found on the subject. I'm gonna check out some of your other vids to see if you did a follow up which explains the experiments. Thank you for this enlightening video.
Quantum physics is a huge bulk of words that don't really explain anything. Probability is used when the absolute 100% of the variables are not known, and the closest to that 100% enclosures the error margin of the determination. I've heard no one single scientist say, humbly, that there's, probably, still 99.9999% of unknown elements to have a conclusive Quantum Physics theory that is deterministic and not a big money funnel towards researchers. For me, QPP is an absolute marvelous area of science, but I think we still are "flateathers" in it. Humility. Congrats to you for an amazin video, and a great explanation!
Spin of Subatomic parties doesn't mean Angular momentum just as in Classical physics of Rotation because Subatomic parties have Not spinning spin but that spin is intrinsic properties that's Responsible in magnetic field like Observed in Stern-Gerlach experiment .
I generally appreciate greatly the video made by Parth, but here, I hate the title, and is said in the video, that "Einstein was proven wrong". In fact, EPR paradox paper aimed to show that either Quantum Mechanics was incomplete, or it was non local. Even the tenants of Copienhagen inyterpretaion, such as Bohr itself did consider serious physics that a physics theory could be non local (and Einstein had proved previously that no informartion could travel fater than light). The Bell inequality and Clauser easier to verify version, and its experimental veification by Alain Aspect, showed that the quantum theory was correct, and thus complete, but it implies that it is non local. I would like to emphasize that non locality does mean that you can send information at a speed greater than light (enven infinite), because the result implies correlation betweeen mesearument at each side, but it is nevertheless probablities from which you can infer no information that xwould come from the other particle. So causality is indeed preserved. And I would like to add that Einstein was not a partisan of hidden variables, as it is said in the video. He disliked the idea that you can only measure probabilities, but did not infer a particular theory. He thought that Quantum Theory was incomplete, and that one theory or another would emerge in the future that would remove the necessity to calculate only probablities. But he was right to think that if it was not the case, the theory then was non local ("spooky action at distance". How the wave function collapse instantly in all universe is still a mechanism that is not understood.
Doesn‘t the many worlds interpretation solve the issue with the locality? Each time, a wave function „collapses“, locally the observer would find himself in a state where somewhere different the particle is measured to be the opposite. The other Observer at the other particle could potentially run down a completely different future.
Yes, M.W. solves that issue. You, the first observer, split into two (or more) copies when you acquire state information about your particle (and if you don't realise this, it will seem like you made a "measurement", a thing that doesn't really exist.) The distant particle does not "instantaneously" do anything, certainly not "collapse" (there's no such thing as collapse). What happens is that it was in two (or more) states relative to you, and now only one of those states corresponds to your state. The others haven't "collapsed", they are simply inaccessible to you due to decoherence.
Entanglement is the consequence of momentum and angular momentum conservation. Conservation laws are the trivial consequence of symmetries (homogeneity and isotropy of space), which means that entanglement is a direct consequence of space being as simple as it can be.
I would put it differently. Not talking about a wave function. As Parth said: in classical physics we say that if we measured with (no error) position and momentum of a particle at one point in time, we could predict its position and momentum at later moments. Quantum mechanics says: such an measurement is impossible. And _not_ because we technicaly cannot do it, but because some quantities are not (simultaneously) defined. If we prepared a state in which the particle travels through space in an exactly prescribed way, the particle can be anywhere. Any atempt to somehow localise it, inevitably causes the momentum to be smear. It is nothing new, though. We know this behaviour from other context. Think sound waves. Can a sound wave have precisely pitch and be localised in time? No. Our ears can tell that only when the sound is low-pitched. Try to make the lowest organ note very short and you won't be able to tell the pitch. Sound wave is a periodic motion of air. If the sound blip is shorter that ~10 periods of motion, the pitch becomes very dubious (distorted). In classical physcis there is a distinction: wave-like behaviour is for waves and particles play by different rule. Quantum Mechanics tells us that any object can in principle show both wave-like nad particle-like behaviour. Depending on the situation. For example: rainbow is a consequence of wave-like behaviour of visible light. But when a UV photon hits your DNA and causes mutation it is a like a single bullet hit.
Amazingly well explained, would just liked to have some type of conclusion on what one system being proven right entails for the reality of nature, does this prove that we live in a probilistic universe once and for all?
I keep thinking about Celebrity Catchphrase. Every time someone gets a question right, one of 16 squares is revealed on the super catchphrase. All the squares are flashing, the contestant presses a buzzer and a square is revealed. In quantum mechanics, it's just a random square. The flashing of the squares and the timing of the press on the buzzer have nothing to do with anything, one random square out of sixteen gets revealed. With Einstein's hidden variable, the squares flash in a predetermined sequence and whichever square is lit up at the exact point when the buzzer is pressed ends up as the one being revealed. You watch the program and you'll see some contestants who think they're Einstein and try to watch the pattern and time the buzzer to get one of the squares in the middle. Others believe in randomness and just press the buzzer without bothering to look. But who's right? We need to do an experiment where two contestants press their buzzers at the same time and we see whether they both get the same square. If they get the same square every time, then the quantum mechanics are thinking information has travelled faster than the speed of light between the two contestants. Einstein says, look, it's all explained by the hidden variable. But is there a third possibility, that such an accurate experiment with synchronised buzzers is impossible? How can the two contestants get the timing exactly right? How can two physicists measure spin at the same time without sending "ok…now" messages to each other? And does synchronicity even exist in a relativistic universe?

The David Bohm book is one of my Quantum Mechanics books. It is a good book, probably among my top three books on the subject. I like to read as many books as possible on various topics because the different approaches give me good ideas for teaching. Sometimes there will be a golden nugget that makes a point better than any I have seen before.
Yes David Bohm!! Father of quantum world... When Einstein quoted'God doesn't play dice'and his response to him 'don't tell God what he can do'
@@suatustel746 With all due respect to Bohm, this famous and humorous answer was from danish physicist Niels Bohr - as far as I know.
When you say "Father" this also points to Bohr, who was active as early as 1913. (Difference of only one letter makes confusion easy)
@@l.h.308 Yes you're right, l mixed up with similarity of the names... I think Heisenberg uncertainty principle was belong to Bohr if I'm right..
"Science, Order and Creativity" by Bohm and Peat is a life changer and still highly recommended.
@@santerisatama5409 should I read it ?
Haha. Love your new thumbnails buddy!
Sir please you also make a video on this topic
Yes we need it!!!
I'd be glad if you'll cover the topic more in-depth :) Looking forward to your video about Bell's inequality!
Yes, please make a video about Bell’s Inequality.
Yes, please do the video explaining Bell's inequality. Pl dont hesitate if it is long. We look forward to it. And then, if you dont mind, please explain what C, A, and Z did in each of their experiments. You could make a video each.
This is an excellent explanation, best I have seen! Looking forward to seeing the Bell inequality being explained some more.
Too good bro... Your simplicity is what I love and respect the most....every time you bring a topic you make it intresting, even if we don't get everything... It's some what like 2018 i have joined your channel... You are a gem .. Wish you the best in life ahead
...and I'll just borrow this gentleman words...
Great stuff. Yes please make a separate Bell's Inequality video - and make it the best Bell's Inequality video ever ;)
Hey, Parth thank you for the video you explained everything so well and simple so I could understand and you also added a lot of visual examples to enhance the experience, 10/10!!!
Thank you for this. One of the best on this subject/Novel Prize of Physics 2022. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Parth for your clear explanation! I wish Einstein was still alive and hear what he would say about the experiments done by these three Nobel Prize winners.
"I'm hungry. Let's get a taco."
Even before watching the entire video I feel the urge to say THANK YOU for dropping the music right after the opening.
I've tried to watch other 2 videos about the topic but the background music was so out of place and intrusive that I had to close them.
Finally a video that won't give me migraine!
I think something important to keep clear: it isn't hidden variable models per se that Bell's theorem disproves, but local hidden variable models. Bell himself repeatedly pointed out that there is a hidden variable model which makes all the same predictions as QM and which is not disproven by Bell's theorem, namely, Bohmian mechanics.
It is also worth noting that the EPR argument shows that the assumption of locality actually implies that there must be hidden variables. (See Travis Norsen's articles on Bell's theorem and the EPR argument.) So by EPR, locality -> hidden variables, and by Bell's theorem, locality + hidden variables -> Bell's inequality is satisfied. Stringing the two arguments together, locality -> Bell's inequality is satisfied. But the experimental work of Aspect and others awarded for this 2022 Nobel Prize shows that Bell's inequality is violated. So what they have definitely proved wrong, specifically, is the assumption of locality.
Thank you, I was looking for this comment.
Yes, thanks a lot for your important clarification. As far as I remember Bohm was badly treated in USA and emigrated to UK. I wonder why his theory is much ignored.
An amazing explanation! Looking forward to seeing the Bell inequality video
Just subbed. Thanks for the effort of educating others.
Huh. I just realized (assuming I didn't overlook anything) that there are three different expectations for this problem. Classically we expect the particles to already be in some state; QT says they aren't, but measuring one will instantaneously change the other, but GR says that "instantaneously" isn't even defined - different observers will see one first, the other first, or both at the same time, for any two events! This means that the measurement should really assert the state of the other particle back to a point in time immediately after the two particles split.
You're right about the GR issue (in fact SR is sufficient for this) but it doesn't "assert the state" of the other particle. What happens is that the observer splits - and each copy of him corresponds to one copy of the remote particle.
So, if all of the observers (in their respective universes) travel over to have a look at the other particle, they will each find the appropriate version of it. But it's not like that particle "collapsed". It remained in superposition, but now the first observer is a corresponding set of superposed copies.
The entanglement state is explained by the fact that both entangled particles have a single wave function. When you measure one particle, the wave function collapses and the other particle becomes its opposite. This is why it is claimed that the speed of light is not exceeded. But there is a problem with this explanation. The other particle cannot recover from the superposition state until the information that the "wavefunction collapses" reaches the other particle. In this case, the information that the "wave function collapses" exceeds the speed of light.
I don't know what happened, but in the last weeks I discovered many-many smart youtubers like you. Keep up with the work!
Thank you for perspective on this and I'm glad my research on this year's prizes brought me to your channel! Congrats to all the winners (though I'm partial to Dr. Clauser, because I dig his vibe).
The wave function doesn't describe properties, it describes the probability of results of measurements.
If there is no measurement then there is no collapse (solution) to a
wave function.
So with an entangled pair of particles each with an opposite spin, that state will remain until after one of the pair, say the Local one is measured.
If a second measurement is made on that Local particle, and the spin different from the interaction of the first measurement then the Remote particle may be measured to have a different spin or orientation. Correlated, but not necessarily opposite.
Hidden variables are not necessary.
Very clear except for one minor detail: Define "measurement".
@@QuicksilverSG
measurement = interaction
Great Video Parth. I am surprised why don’t you have more than a million subscribers. But I am sure you will there very soon.
Thank you man. I watch many videos and couldn't understand the Nobel prize winners well, but you make it very clear.
Greetings from chile 🇨🇱
We do need the bell theorem video. Ur videos just make difficult things simple
Is it known for certain that once the source is caused to produce two matched electrons, they will both definitely have complimentary/entangled/opposing angular momentums?
No.
I love your videos. Clearly explained for anyone with a little knowledge and interest. Would love to see your take on Bell.
I never miss your videos.. keep on producing quality content...
excellent, and succinct explanation. Keep the great work. Thanks.
awesome explanation ... .... I was curious to understand wether we can now communicate faster than speed of light or not since the particles can .... can we now ?
Bell's Inequality doesn't categorically rule out state variables. What we can rule out is a constant state variable that has no time-varying perturbations around some ergodic mean. Bell allowed that the presumptive state variable could include a time-varying component. The most obvious one to consider would be something akin to Larmor Precession around some ergodic mean spatial direction of the magnetic moment vector. In order for Bell's math to work, one then has to adopt a framework in which timekeeping is uniform everywhere and everywhen, so that the presumptive state variable can be treated as a odd function, so that λ(x,t) ≡ -λ(-x,t) for all x and t. But under GR, we know that timekeeping varies from one location to the next, due to the presence of any gravitational gradients along the path of an integration. That is, Bell would have needed to employ a gravitational path integral to account for differential phase shift in the time-varying terms in λ(x,t). Since we have no practical way to account for gravitational gradients, we are left to reckoning the effects of decoherence (loss of ideal phase-locked synchrony), and this explains why Bell's Inequality is inapplicable to our cosmos where time-keeping is local. Thus you can hypothesize a realistic time-varying state variable (e.g. Larmor Precession around some unchanging ergodic mean), but then you have to admit idiosyncratic local timekeeping due the existence of gravitational gradients in our cosmos.
I saw many videos.... But now only i understand it very well. Your way of explanation is really good. Keep rocking 💥
please keep making these vidoes, 👍👍👍
Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Bell's inequality doesn't prove Einstein wrong. It only proves entanglement is true. Einstein doesn't disagree with entanglement being true. He even wrote a paper describing how communication can occur faster than the speed of light through the use of Einstein Rosen bridge. He solved Einstein field equation to describe wormhole.
Thanks! Loved Alain's experiment years ago. Great to see someone dig up and broadcast the background! The theory explanation seems good, kinda hand-wavy, but it doesn't get all the way to the current Nobel prize. Maybe I missed that part?
Please go over Bell's Inequality!! I have been self-studying QM for 6 months now and it's really the one area I have failed to understand: how determinism has been disproven.
I think it's not determinism, but local hidden variables which is disproven
(with some assumptions)
hidden variable determines the fate of the particles from beforehand, that's where the determinism comes from. without a hidden variable the fates of the particles would have to be communicated to each other over a duration of time and determinism would arrive that way. Both have been disproven thus disproving determinism.
@@SC-zq6cu This is false. There is a deterministic hidden variable theory which makes the same predictions as QM in regards to the violations of Bell's inequality, namely Bohmian mechanics. Bell himself was well aware of this - learning about Bohmian mechanincs it is what motivated him to come up with Bell's theorem in the first place. What Bell's theorem and the experimental violations of Bell's inequality show is that locality is false; it does not rule out non-local hidden variables or determinism.
@@SC-zq6cu your statement is false. John Bell was a hard determinist or superdeterminism. The lab experiments do not disprove determinism.
Interesting. So is the Pauli Exclusion principle because the e.g. 2 electrons have to have opposite spins so that they have a net angular momentum of zero?
Hi Parth G! Ty for your content! I i'd like to know, what software do you use tu create the graphics? I really love them
Thanks!
This is the only Nobel prize given out for the last decade that i can say is truly deserved. I predict the Nobel will soon be a thing of the past. What a sad day though that will be.
Yes we’d like you to do a video in Bell’s inequality for sure
Thank you for your great video on this topic. In my humble opinion, the problem arises because there is a misunderstanding at the level of the measurements and on what we really measure, the measurements are not carried out at a distance but at the level of the correlation therefore very locally. It is all the interest of the EPR experiments to make clear the nature of the measurement in the experiment without which one arrives at absurdities like the instantaneous transmission in complete contradiction with relativity.
Man please make a detailed video on bell inequality
Excellent teaching ....I will have to watch this video many times to understand your conclusion clearly. Do you have info on the nature of the experiments that resulted in the data that proved Einstein wrong?
Yes, I would really appreciate it if you could do an explanatory video on Bell's Inequality. Waiting eagerly.
Great video Parth. It will be incomplete without Bell's inequality. There are others, I have watched them but not gotten completely. Something tells me, I will get it if you are the teacher.
You make all info collective. Good work parth👍 Go for Bells theorem surely we need it
Hope it revolutionised the way we look toward Universe
Digestible even for a high school student like me. You're just getting better and better. I'd love a video on the Bell Inequality if it is even 1/5th as comprehensible for me as this video
This was a lot of information for a high school student to swallow it but somehow understood some of it
Thank You for explaining it in simple words!
That is the best explanation that I've seen. Bravo!
I loved your video, one of few physics video which I - non-physician- was able to follow :-). All explained in simple understandable language in a sensible pace, well done 😉.
I am not much into this level of physics, but I wanted to know if
This means that quantum entanglement theory is correct and that information is travelling instantly?
Or
Quantum entanglement theory exists only because it hasn't been proven wrong yet?
Please sir make a playlist on quantum mechanics from start I am suffering from my academics...
You should get a nobel prize for that mustache bro, keep up the good work!
Hey Parth, love your channel! Newb question, how do we rectify QM with say, relativity of simultaneity? For example, if there exists a frame for another observer where our past or future is indeed real, how does QM still make this uncertain if someone already knows what the outcome is? It is simply because they could never pass that information onto us?
An important question which should be asked more often. My answer is that the nonlocal event in question is random at least to the degree that it can be used to construct a reliable Vernam cipher. The rules of the game are different for random events. They are uncontrollable, and the apparent relativity of cause and effect, if we still insist on using those concepts, is nothing to object to. If we try to do a Lorentz transformation to catch out an event, then by the time we have done a real LT the nonlocal event is ancient history.
In a computer simulation we would use a random number generator coupled to a numerical solution of a set of differential equations. There would be a button to do a Lorentz boost which would have the side effect of reseeding the RNG. The framework of the simulation would then be a temporary privileged framework which allows nonlocal processes to happen without issues.
@@david_porthouse thanks! You've give me a lot to chew on, I'm going to have to dig deeper into your explanation. I'm not a physicist and definitely not a computer scientist so a lot of the terms you used are foreign to me, but I am at least familiar with LTs and nonlocal events, so will try to piece together what you've said. I also recognize how non-trivial it is to generate a truly random number, if it's even possible at all....
@@booJay Random number generation would be delegated to a separate module whose details are hidden to us. Initially we might use the Mersenne twister, but the module could be replaced at random and without notice with something else, for example an ERNIE-like device which uses quantum mechanics to generate a classical random number. The module would offer methods to seed it, to reseed it and to generate a new random number. The point is that the LT reseeds the RNG as a side effect, which wrecks any attempt to catch out the proposition that we have a temporarily privileged inertial framework. I call this the Protean system. We are allowed to cheat!
Where to witness the said experiment?
Great video, thank you! At some point you said that *both* locality and statistical independence are violated, but that is not true. The Bell experiments show that *either* the assumption of locality or statistical independence are broken.
Parth, the moustache fits well.
And also, know, that you have rekindled my love for theoretical physics.
Being a military engineer, I veered off course from that subject, but it is never late to get back.
Thank you! And welcome back to physics :D
Mr. Aspect was told by the host of a French TV host he was disappointed he had shaved his moustache, so he answered he might have to regrow it. ^^
A video on Bell’s inequality, please. Thank you! 😊
Einstein has never claimed, he is right, regarding EPR.
he was questioned, more widened framework of quantum mechanics.
This is the kind of contents that should have been the focus of today's generation, but unfortunately, we are seeing the trend of them using the TikTok and wasting their lives with useless contents and games. It's a revolution here, and only a few is a part of it.
People are also distracted by geopolitical events and cost of living.
Yes, please make video bells inequality and best explanation man 👍👍
Thanks a lot. You always explain very difficult concepts with clearity and with amazing words.
This video is amazing, truly incredible. I love it!
Yes, would love a video on Bell’s inequality.
I would definitely like a video on Bell.
Please have a longer version of this
topic.
Absolutely coherent and brilliant explanation. Well done. You have a new subscriber.
Yes, I would definitely like to see your exceptionally clear yet precise mind applied to the Bell's Inequality.
The Noble Price on QM entanglement did not proof Einstein wrong because Entanglement is not the same as "Spooky Action at Distance" as written in the EPR paper.
E is not wrong indeed.
Qigong-Lesson 38. Hetu Luoshu that saves the world (12)
Quantum Entanglement - The Circulation System of the Five Elements of Yin and Yang
In the previous lesson, we mentioned the connection between two particles in quantum entanglement that is left to be searched by scientists. In fact, this connection is equivalent to the cycle of yin and yang in the Hetuo. It is a cyclic connection, that is, The two (half-quantum) divided into two are connected by two pipes to establish a pressure cycle.
It can be deduced from this that the thinking and experiments of the predecessors and top scientists are actually inferring a "river map", and the so-called "quantum entanglement" is to "dissect" a five-element yin and yang system, which is divided into two, using " entanglement" to show the "cycle", the relative spin is yin and yang.
Of course, Hetu more metaphysically gives the "model" of this system, as well as the related "digital" arrangements and combinations.
As for "quantum tunneling", I have already mentioned about "pressure relief" in the previous text, "quantum" is released from the pressure of the system, and the "quantum" released from the pressure is of course freed from The previous pressure in the system. The situation is consistent with the phenomenon of quantum tunneling.
In fact, quantum mechanics, when entering the logic of "quantum entanglement"/"quantum tunneling", has actually returned to the uniform universe level. Instead of thinking about an independent particle, it is a "system" and uniform performance. Going back to the beginning of Quantum mechanics, everyone will have a clearer understanding of the phenomenon of the entire five-element yin-yang system.
Linus
This was explained so well. Thank you. I have watched many videos on this subject and always got lost, but this was brilliant, even though I struggled towards the end as my brain was struggling to keep up. 😄
Parth, a very lucid explanation. Thank you.
I have listened to many videos on this subject because I was deeply curious about it. Since I'm a mere intellectual mortal when it comes to physics, I looked at many in hopes of finding one that I could understand. This one is one of the best I have found on the subject. I'm gonna check out some of your other vids to see if you did a follow up which explains the experiments. Thank you for this enlightening video.
Quantum physics is a huge bulk of words that don't really explain anything. Probability is used when the absolute 100% of the variables are not known, and the closest to that 100% enclosures the error margin of the determination. I've heard no one single scientist say, humbly, that there's, probably, still 99.9999% of unknown elements to have a conclusive Quantum Physics theory that is deterministic and not a big money funnel towards researchers. For me, QPP is an absolute marvelous area of science, but I think we still are "flateathers" in it. Humility. Congrats to you for an amazin video, and a great explanation!
Your voice
is so pleasent to ears❤️
Excellent explanation of Quantum entanglement
Plz make video abut Bell'S Theorem & Disscus about The Experiment done by Great Physicist
Spin of Subatomic parties doesn't mean Angular momentum just as in Classical physics of Rotation because Subatomic parties have Not spinning spin but that spin is intrinsic properties that's Responsible in magnetic field like Observed in Stern-Gerlach experiment .
Only you can explain more beautifully bell's equality.❤️
I have seen many videos on Bell's inequality but can't get the feel of it. Ig your video will change that.☺️
I generally appreciate greatly the video made by Parth, but here, I hate the title, and is said in the video, that "Einstein was proven wrong". In fact, EPR paradox paper aimed to show that either Quantum Mechanics was incomplete, or it was non local. Even the tenants of Copienhagen inyterpretaion, such as Bohr itself did consider serious physics that a physics theory could be non local (and Einstein had proved previously that no informartion could travel fater than light).
The Bell inequality and Clauser easier to verify version, and its experimental veification by Alain Aspect, showed that the quantum theory was correct, and thus complete, but it implies that it is non local.
I would like to emphasize that non locality does mean that you can send information at a speed greater than light (enven infinite), because the result implies correlation betweeen mesearument at each side, but it is nevertheless probablities from which you can infer no information that xwould come from the other particle. So causality is indeed preserved.
And I would like to add that Einstein was not a partisan of hidden variables, as it is said in the video. He disliked the idea that you can only measure probabilities, but did not infer a particular theory. He thought that Quantum Theory was incomplete, and that one theory or another would emerge in the future that would remove the necessity to calculate only probablities. But he was right to think that if it was not the case, the theory then was non local ("spooky action at distance".
How the wave function collapse instantly in all universe is still a mechanism that is not understood.
well said.
Such a good explanation!! Thank you! My mind was blown haha
Doesn‘t the many worlds interpretation solve the issue with the locality? Each time, a wave function „collapses“, locally the observer would find himself in a state where somewhere different the particle is measured to be the opposite. The other Observer at the other particle could potentially run down a completely different future.
Yes, M.W. solves that issue. You, the first observer, split into two (or more) copies when you acquire state information about your particle (and if you don't realise this, it will seem like you made a "measurement", a thing that doesn't really exist.)
The distant particle does not "instantaneously" do anything, certainly not "collapse" (there's no such thing as collapse). What happens is that it was in two (or more) states relative to you, and now only one of those states corresponds to your state. The others haven't "collapsed", they are simply inaccessible to you due to decoherence.
Yes, please add (or link) a video to Bell's inequality
amazing video! so well done, thanks man :)
Please put some articles (other then Wikipedia) on the context that you are talking about... Please .. research papers are also welcomed
A video about bells inequality would be amazing
Since QFT and the Standard Model are local, how do they explain entanglement?
Entanglement is the consequence of momentum and angular momentum conservation. Conservation laws are the trivial consequence of symmetries (homogeneity and isotropy of space), which means that entanglement is a direct consequence of space being as simple as it can be.
I would put it differently. Not talking about a wave function. As Parth said: in classical physics we say that if we measured with (no error) position and momentum of a particle at one point in time, we could predict its position and momentum at later moments.
Quantum mechanics says: such an measurement is impossible. And _not_ because we technicaly cannot do it, but because some quantities are not (simultaneously) defined.
If we prepared a state in which the particle travels through space in an exactly prescribed way, the particle can be anywhere. Any atempt to somehow localise it, inevitably causes the momentum to be smear.
It is nothing new, though. We know this behaviour from other context. Think sound waves. Can a sound wave have precisely pitch and be localised in time? No. Our ears can tell that only when the sound is low-pitched. Try to make the lowest organ note very short and you won't be able to tell the pitch.
Sound wave is a periodic motion of air. If the sound blip is shorter that ~10 periods of motion, the pitch becomes very dubious (distorted).
In classical physcis there is a distinction: wave-like behaviour is for waves and particles play by different rule. Quantum Mechanics tells us that any object can in principle show both wave-like nad particle-like behaviour. Depending on the situation. For example: rainbow is a consequence of wave-like behaviour of visible light. But when a UV photon hits your DNA and causes mutation it is a like a single bullet hit.
Yes, I would be more than happy to watch a video on Bell's inequality!!!
best narrative so far. I subscribed, because.
Make video on Bell's theorem!!!
Amazingly well explained, would just liked to have some type of conclusion on what one system being proven right entails for the reality of nature, does this prove that we live in a probilistic universe once and for all?
YES, PLEA! A video on Bell's Inequality...
I keep thinking about Celebrity Catchphrase. Every time someone gets a question right, one of 16 squares is revealed on the super catchphrase. All the squares are flashing, the contestant presses a buzzer and a square is revealed.
In quantum mechanics, it's just a random square. The flashing of the squares and the timing of the press on the buzzer have nothing to do with anything, one random square out of sixteen gets revealed.
With Einstein's hidden variable, the squares flash in a predetermined sequence and whichever square is lit up at the exact point when the buzzer is pressed ends up as the one being revealed.
You watch the program and you'll see some contestants who think they're Einstein and try to watch the pattern and time the buzzer to get one of the squares in the middle. Others believe in randomness and just press the buzzer without bothering to look. But who's right?
We need to do an experiment where two contestants press their buzzers at the same time and we see whether they both get the same square. If they get the same square every time, then the quantum mechanics are thinking information has travelled faster than the speed of light between the two contestants. Einstein says, look, it's all explained by the hidden variable.
But is there a third possibility, that such an accurate experiment with synchronised buzzers is impossible? How can the two contestants get the timing exactly right? How can two physicists measure spin at the same time without sending "ok…now" messages to each other? And does synchronicity even exist in a relativistic universe?
