Particles at two places at the same time-superposition. Particles communicating instantly with no respect to distance-entanglement. How to make sense of such weirdness? Quantum mechanics is how the world works at deepest levels. But nobody has any idea why.

No One can explain Physics better than Nima. He's a precious gift to Humanity.
This has been recently posted but the video is at least 10 years old, this is why Nima looks younger and has not defied entropy like some have suggested.
I was an avid watcher until I realized the disparity in when posted to when it actually happened.
Or his hair has magically grown back on
Such a pleasure to listen to Nima
Thank you. Great job.
Thanks so much
It's incredible that these giants of science could not accept the consequences of their own discoveries. Plank with his particles and Einstein with his relativity.
Is there a quantum field / wave function substructure that brings physical reality in classic space from past to future?
excellent !
Are there any certainties in quantum, like position and velocity in classical?
All this stuff is just flying over my head like a flock of geese.
Mobius Trip those aren’t geese, they’re particles
Or a murder of crows
Don’t worry if it goes over your head it goes way over their heads too that’s why they think it’s so mysterious. What they think they know is as good as what you don’t.
The reason there are so many problems with QM and Cosmology, is because of mathematical equations based on ' Uncertainty Priciple ', ' Probability Theory ', and ' imaginary Numbers ', and not logic. As with just accepting that the electron, as described in the standard model, can't drop below a certain level in the atom, without any logical explanation why.
There is a logical explanation, and I can provide it in two hypotheses I have been working on regarding QM, and an alternative to the big bang theory, inflation, and the expanding universe. Kind regards,
Tony Marsh.
I remember studying particle “physics” as part of my undergraduate engineering program in the late 1960s - seems so primitive now. I’m surprised we didn’t discuss why the earth was flat!!!
Another Iranian genius like Omer hayyam, Ibn-i sina, Harezmi.... , respect to Iran from Turkey.
Why is it four space dimensions laterally / horizontally (front, back, left, right) and only two dimensions vertically (up, down), even when lying down?
I know answr of this question but I don't knw how to explain it in comment just text. But I would it's the way percieve directions universe doesn't give fuck. It's the way we do it.
Every time a particle exits the double slit experiment or the cat either dies or lives -the universe splits explaining that the universe needs to and does double in energy in a planck length e=mc2 to create matter for another timeline universe to incorporare the splintering of the origin universe.Splintered universes then become undetectable vis-a -vis many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics
Nima used to be bald, but now appears that a quantum fluctuation make his hair grow
He created a wormhole and sent his scalp 20 years into the past.
It's old film
MATVA A Occam’s razor
MATVA A
It's old film . . . OR - the wormhole thing
😜
I've got some of his hair growth cream for ya!!!
My sense is that the reality of the universe is quite terrible, terrible in the sense of the mortifying, the fearsome sublime.
The experiment language & explanations, is different than science & scientific language, but they both have the same results.
Yep as I thought ... I am even more confused now about reality!
When you keep asking questions that no one can answer and keep getting no answers.
Admitting our ignorance is the power to new knowledge ! Thank you Nima!
Why do all the programs on this channel have a title that differs from the actual subject. "Why is the Quantum so Mysterious" is very different from "How can we understand Quantum Theory?" which is the actual subject. Do we need yet another video that explains that GR is the realm of the large while QM is the realm of the small?
Your last sentence is not correct. Everything is quantum mechanical on all scales, but we don't know how to blend general relativity into it, yet.
Is he Cisco Ramen aka the Vibe by night?
Doesn't let you know what's going on. Maybe when someone not let you know what is going on it is a quantum state.
I thought that the electron doesn't fall into the nucleus because of it's associated wave function...
The electron is a charged quantum of the electroweak fields and fields can't "fall" into nuclei. They only get scattered by them. The nucleus, by the way, is also made of fields, the fields of quantum-chromodynamics.
There’s no problem with quantum mechanics, it’s only a different imagination of the hidden worlds, which you’ll have more power to travel to unknowns and even into deep atoms !
Almost seems like quantum mechanics on bottom side while classical mechanics on top side, similar to earth and ocean below with surface and sky above.
Why don’t you just say “ I have no idea”
Don't know isn't the same as have no idea...
2014 his head was balding, rotting with age , 2019 looking younger and hair is back
i don't understand this quantum change......either this has been swapped with a silicon humanoid or
something is wrong somewhere ........ he has come across the forbidden truth even in isolation .......
This is not a 2019 interview.
🤗
I think recently he said that space-time was doomed!🤪
All good fighters do a bit of ball-busting and show-boating before destroying their opponent.
PS. He's not gonna destroy it, just destroy the notion that it's a fundamental part of our universe, and show that it's actually emergent.
@@lucasthompson1650 I sometimes wonder if there's something truly fundamental about the universe... what if everything is just emergent? Phisics would never reach a fully satisfying answer then xD
Maybe it sounds like nonsense, but maybe Godel's incompleteness theorem also applies to reality and not only maths...
@@MeRetroGamer The satisfying answer in physics is always the answer that best describes reality. If, say, quantum fields are all "emergent", so be it, let's figure out how they emerged, make sure the ones we've got aren't going anywhere, and move on to the next problem. :)

It is 2023 now and Nima has changed his mind about virtual particles altogether. Doesn’t believe virtual particles exist. Also believes particles create space. Time is much more difficult to figure out.

big bang singularity.. blackhole singularity energy( planck temperature,distance,time) is uniform at bigbang ignition.......DENSITY IS AT EQUILIBRIUM...mass/energy cannot collapse under those conditions
This is exactly like listening to a bumpkin preacher telling his church ladies what an angel told him!
GLORY BE!
And you wonder why people drink beer or do narcotics. Because of this. The universe is weird.
What's weird about it? Please explain.
I don’t understand light!!!! 😑
Daniel Luke 🤭
Daniel Luke are you Nima?
The Only thing about time that matters is the time you can’t get back when wasting it listening to this..
Ask him about scattering amplitudes at LHC or mass variability of K-mesons and he'll yammer at you like a speed reader on … speed … for an hour and a half before he even opens his bottled water.
Ask him, "What is Quantum Mechanics?", and he just stammers and stutters, like Spider from "Goodfellas", for 5 minutes straight and doesn't really give a proper answer.
Textbook Physicist Stereotype Test: PASSED✅
Did you hear how he said "... there is an awful lot of nonsense being said about quantum mechanics...". You just added to that.
@@schmetterling4477 No I didn't, I merely pointed out that he, like a lot of other physicists, seems like he'd rather not have the discussion (about Quantum Foundations. Much better name for the topic, courtesy Sean Carroll ) out of fear that he "might" be adding to that body of nonsense.
If you are a physicist and you've done your time working with quantum field theory (or "insert your fave CFT here"), you should feel free to be able to speculate about topics like, "Okay, so, WHY quantum field theory???". Right now, that still isn't the case. Tell your PhD adviser about the paper you want to write that shows some new viewpoints on Copenhagen vs Many-Worlds ... you'll see some E8xE8 symmetry breaking in the knots he ties his eyebrows into before sending you for re-education at CUNY summer sessions or something.
The ones who are really contributing to the nonsense are people like Deepak Chopra and his ridiculous, and widespread, misuse of the term "quantum", which he seems willing to apply to just about anything (like, "quantum consciousness" ... ooo, that's so deep, Deepak!) as long as it gets him a bit of audience traction.
😂
So it seems all that needs to be done is to simply figure out those "very big new principles" ...and those nonsensical results will make sense.
Mystery solved.
😜
Science is missing another force of the universe that is everywhere which makes it impossible to observe.
Wow what a genius
@@pmejia727 Nope. I just read a wide range of material.
If science doesnt know it, and it’s impossible to observe then how do you know about it?
@@pmejia727 Because it is omnipresent, one can not use objective measurements as we do with all other objects, even in the quantum level. Is a measurement against something else. We know about it from the discrepancies. For example, 100 pages of quantum measurements from Feynman diagrams, have been found to be simplified by geometrical shapes. www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-discover-geometry-underlying-particle-physics-20130917/

Nima is coked out of his mind lol.

End of physics.
He’s a brilliant guy, but a poor speaker.
