Meh. If firing electrons at two slits would eventually result in more and better sex, that would be great. I am searching for the kind of problems you can solve with sex. (quote is not mine, I have to sadly admit)
you have to look at the experiments that followed based on this... some of the most recent ones have demonstrated that quantum phenomena (at the very very very small atomic scale) can effect events in the past. it has been proven experimentally... bizarre I know.
Brian Greene has made a career of taking the most complicated scientific discoveries and making them easy to understand to the common people. Truly one of the greatest spokespersons of science in our generation.
It's the Meissner Effect. When you cool a superconductor to a certain point, it 'pushes' away the magnetic field lines from the magnet. The magnetic field (from the magnet) then curves around the superconductor and forms kind of a bubble around the superconductor and that is what keeps it in place; levitating.
Just a slight fix, and I hope you don't mind - you don't cool a superconductor - superconductor is created by cooling certain things to a certain temperature. So you don't take a superconductor, cool it, and then it has certain properties, you take some matter, cool it, then you get your superconductor. It is a slight fix, but very important in scientific terms. Also, there is a huge strive to create some alloy that would have superconductor capabilities on room temperature - that would be a revolution in technology on the scale semiconductors were that brought about the whole information age.
Have to give Colbert some slack and some credit. He's had Brian Greene on a number of times. But, he's also a slave to the time slot, advertising sponsors, etc. I'm just glad he (Colber) is doing his part to foster and encourage the "coolness" (pun intended) of science!
I love the way Brian looks at the track at the end! He's as excited and fascinated by this and quantum physics is his life's work. Scientists are awesome!

Makdavian Or Fallon would've discussed Trump in a positive/giddy way as he reminisced about that beautiful day he was oh so privileged enough to run his fingers through Trump's majestic, golden hair (and maybe how hard it was to contain the excess moisture in his panties while doing so). Lol :)
Leidenfrost effect, liquid nitrogen is only dangerous if submerged inside of it or exposed to it for a long amount of time. It does nothing but feel ice chilled if it touches you.
Quantum mechanics is brilliant, because it's by far the most counter intuitive branch of the sciences; you're basically throwing out almost everything you know about the natural world when you explore the world of the infinitesimally minute.
Which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone really. Extrapolation to larger structures or smaller structures often give different results/effects/behaviour. That's even so in the science of electricity, networking, physics, etc. You don't even need to go to quantum level for that. The only difference is that Q is just very, very strange.
TheD†uned so did the Christians and everyone else, the Sun revolved around the Earth and so on and so on, if you are going to spout one belief you should look at the total picture and resolve your statement that no one knew any different at that point of history. You have been found lacking.
I love how Colbert has totally transformed the possibilities of Late Night television. Everything he does on his show feels new, fresh, and exciting. Thats why The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is fucking amazing, he has completely escaped the mundane and overdone themes and gimmicks the other Late Night shows still continue to maintain as the status quo for Late Night television. Great Job Stephen, keep up the amazing work!
Anyone remember the first few months of guests when this show first came on? There were street artists and authors no one had heard of before. I wish we could get some of those back. An endless stream of actors becomes exhausting after a while.
He didn’t explain the other half of the experiment that makes it reality braking. Short explanation: when particles are hot through the slits they are projected at the wall as several lines instead of the normal two this was done under normal conditions. Second test was setting a molecular observing camera on the other side of the wall to observe the particles coming out of the other side. After setting the camera there were only two lines. If you are not understanding the concept I’ll put it this way: when you shoot particles through two slits without observing the particles themselves they act as waves when you shoot them while observing them they act as particles. That means particles/reality changes when observe it.
I wonder if you could do the last experiment with one round magnet on top going clockwise, and one underneath going counter clockwise. Because wonder is wonderful.
I'm genuinely impressed that they talk about the basics of Quantum Physics in a Late Night Show. It is an extremely dense topic and Brian Greene does his best to vulgarize it!
If my science teacher was half as passionate about science as this guy my volcano would've worked.
elzeus13 I hope that's not a euphemism.
Mukul Pareek haha
Then she/he wouldn't have been teaching you.
are you mistaking talking and vulgarizing stuff on TV for a few minutes with teaching 25 reluctant teens?
I always had great science teahers, yes, in public school.
I love it when Stephen interviews scientists. More scientists!!
I'd be great if Colbert hosts Brian Cox, Michio Kaku and Jane Goodall.
and writers!
Agreed - he used to have a *lot* of them on the old show.
im sure it's a ratings concern, but they should mix writers with big headliners. if there is anyone who can shift the content and spirit of late night it is stephen colbert.
Now that news is in the shits I think people want more science.
I watch all these kinds of videos but rarely watch ones with celebrities.
It's crazy how something like firing electrons at two slits can eventually result in us learning how to levitate stuff. Science is so great.
Meh. If firing electrons at two slits would eventually result in more and better sex, that would be great. I am searching for the kind of problems you can solve with sex. (quote is not mine, I have to sadly admit)
It will, when my quantum dick gets released to the public.
Overpopulation can be solved with unprotected sex.
It's even sadder you think that that's a good quote

i still dont understand any of that crap.... hell i don't think i can understand quantum mechanics. i can only appreciate its beauty.

Yeah after Feynman he's gonna go down in history

That you for clearing that up, I was just about to drop Seiji Ozawa into some liquid nitrogen.
technically a superconductor isn't a superconductor until you cool it down to become one.

That's how UFO'S work🤣
Yes! We want more! Chemists, Physicists, Bio-Medical Engineers, Mechanical, Electrical Engineers, Doctors and Psychologists!!
I love the way Brian looks at the track at the end! He's as excited and fascinated by this and quantum physics is his life's work.
Scientists are awesome!
Brian Greene is very awesome. Sean Carroll is also a great guy to check out.
Even more impressive than I thought. Should be "Brian Greene Makes Stuff Levitate. *Upside-Down*. Seriously."
"Scientist makes stuff levitate upside-down, you won't believe what happens next #goneright #gonesexual #gonefuturistic"

Fallon would have discussed Kanye with him.
this is why we don't watch fallon who cares about celebs
Fallon, wasn't that the host of a boring and superficial show? I remember him faintly.
Makdavian Or Fallon would've discussed Trump in a positive/giddy way as he reminisced about that beautiful day he was oh so privileged enough to run his fingers through Trump's majestic, golden hair (and maybe how hard it was to contain the excess moisture in his panties while doing so). Lol :)
that's because Fallon is a fucking joke.

That was actually really awesome, gotta do more of these experiments !
#MakeScienceGreatAgain
Edlink Productions you mean sceiene ?
Edlink Productions science, unlike America, had always been and continues to be, great
The interviews Stephen does with Brian Greene are always excellent!
5:03 ... love how comfortable Brian is with Liquid Nitrogen.
Leidenfrost effect, liquid nitrogen is only dangerous if submerged inside of it or exposed to it for a long amount of time. It does nothing but feel ice chilled if it touches you.
Yes! Bring attention to the people who are actually moving humanity forward.
That's what happens when a theorist does experiments...they tend to hurt themselves and blow up the lab 😂. Great video
holy cow why is this so true
"Amerca...America....America..."
I think that's part of our problem, Brian.
We need to be Earthlings now, not Nationalist/Fascists.
I haven't been made speechless by a TH-cam video in a *_long_* time. Thanks for this. Amazing stuff.
Thank you! My favorite demonstration of supercooling and magnets!
Stephen thanks so much for bringing Brian Greene two more people we need to make everyone excited about science.
Finally, a TV host smart enough to keep up with a scientist!

saw this on a TED Talk a couple of years ago. still cool to watch
at 6:47 you hear Colbert breathing in in awe of science. My guy
@bullsi20 Did you just say Brian Greene is not that big on science!?
bullsi20 my bad lol
This is what they show on public television, imagine the tech and knowledge they have behind closed doors..
So excited for tomorrow!
"I am particle"
-Stephen Colbert
Is good to have this science sections, and kinda fun
I learned something new here today, the upside down thing, I did not know about.
My favorite host, in house band, theoretical physicist and quantum physics. I love it!
that was really incredible. it really does make it feel like hover technology is right around the corner.
Stephen's 'wov' and his genuine awe totally made by day.
Science! The kryptonite of Trump supporters.
If only! Science has absolutely no effect on them :(
Oh it works ON them, just not TO them.
Trump supporters are by far the largest anti-intellectual group in the US.
Science is based on logic, and they defy logic.
TheD†uned so did the Christians and everyone else, the Sun revolved around the Earth and so on and so on, if you are going to spout one belief you should look at the total picture and resolve your statement that no one knew any different at that point of history. You have been found lacking.
I always skip interviews, but this guy's interviews, I watch each of them multiple times.
Even with trump taking us back, science keeps us moving forward.
How much did Trump cut from the budget?
I like it when Colbert does these experiments it would be great if he did these a bit more often.
My boy Brian greene!!!! So good to see him on here(::::
More scientists! MORE EXPERIMENTS!!!
Scientists, the poeple who matters
Can we have even more Brian Greene on the show? This is the shit I go on TH-cam for
Wish my classes were this interesting at school. Would have loved to be his student, even now.
I love that Stephen seems fascinated by this and asks real questions. Not like some hosts, who only try making jokes.
Absolutely amazing.
Apparently at the very end of the clip, Stephen is dealing with Quantum Cameras.
This is simply, cool. straight up cool.
Nice change of Pace.
He explains things really well!
More science for the masses during late night talk shows!
If Trump watched this, he'd have grab his covfefe and ingest it intravenously.
You should give him way more time to go through all the stuff, this is fascinating.
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!
Amazing!
incredible piece! thank you.
OMG?! Why does this only have 300k views?! Unbelievable! I love this guy.
excellent demonstration
wow 👍👍
"It's a great day...for Science!"~Dexter

Yeaaa Mr Greene!! Science!! Magnets!!
i am still scratching my head.

this is truly awesome!!!
I love watching this guy's docos stoned
Amazing.
I'm naming my next band Quantum Tentacles
Awesome.
My dad loves this experiment and quantum physics! Can't wait to show this to him:)
Yeah, Mr. Greene. Yeah, science.
Captain Jack Sparrow yeah captain jack

You should make a whole show only Stephen Colbert with his jokes and love for science and Brian Green with his intelligence and cool experiments
"And is that how fidget spinners were invented?" Gold..pure gold!
How about a regular segment with Nei deGrasse Tyson on Mondays, Bill Nye on Tuesdays, Brian Greene on Wednesdays and Mary Roach on Thursdays.
But... "Bill Nye Saves the World"... he cannot be redeemed.
Imo Colbert is the best in interviewing scientists as guest on all talk shows
Stephan is the best, he cares about science
So good
And he did not tell another mind blowing...when you try to watch the particles on it's way, the patten will be gone and you will see normal behaviour.
That... Is almost WITCHCRAFT! Hahaha I love it!
anyone else see this same experiment on the British show QI years ago? Cool to see Stephen bring science to TV
Quantum Fidget Spinner XD :) My invention
Fascinating
finally, people that really matter to the world
Amazing........
I remember how interesting Mr. Wizard was to watch as a kid. I'd watch this all damn day..
that is truly amazing
The guy's a genius. By turning it upside down, suddenly it all made super-sense.
Now that's a science experiment and not just dumb ping pong balls flying around.
This was really interesting. Stephen's questions were on point (even if scripted).
Also Stephen looks like an older version of Justin Theroux.
Damn.. Quantum science is really the future. Imagine creating a quantum computer 😮
This absolutely blew my mind.
Where can I read up on what just happened?
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE THEORETICAL PHYSICIST NAMED BRIAN, AND HE IS A NINJA! #NinjaBrian
I want one of those levitation kits for Christmas, awesome.
Got to love how scientists are basically irl wizards.
I wonder if you could do the last experiment with one round magnet on top going clockwise, and one underneath going counter clockwise. Because wonder is wonderful.
That is why this late show is the best.
Never get tired of watching levitation experiments =D
"sceiene" ...
usurper We all love some sceiene!
Brian Green is not just Sceiene, he's Super-Sceiene! It's not even his final form!
Евгений Семёнов ha ha! Awesome!
Im going to name my kid that.
Sceiene is by far my favorite covfefe.
I'm genuinely impressed that they talk about the basics of Quantum Physics in a Late Night Show. It is an extremely dense topic and Brian Greene does his best to vulgarize it!
Tide goes in, Tide goes out, you can't explain that.
awesome
fantastic
Colbert in both forms once had these great minds of our time on more frequently. I miss that. Daily Planet on Discovery can be great.
