I watched the MIT course in high school and it is really worth the time. It is actually what got me interested in quantum mechanics. Now I am a second year physics student and from time to time I make sure that whatever I am learning, I can teach others in the simplest words possible. As I am taking new courses, I realize that not everything can be explained in simple words. But people like you amaze me. It takes immense understanding and talent to teach people as effectively as you do. Kudos to you! :)
Yep, you can only be sure you understand a concept if you can explain it to someone else! :)
Quantum mechanics is something any 8th grader can learn off of Google, etc.
Lol. It is great fun to learn in my free time.

The Action Lab not only teaches us science, it also teaches professors how to teach science
That is sooo true!
Right maybe I would have learned something if I watched TH-cam instead of go to elementary school
yea except this explanation is taken directly from a college professor's class.
i forget the name of it, but it's an hour long and completely awesome
This explanation mixes electron orbital with polarized photons, adds in a touch of fictional hardness and color, and finally throws in sine waves for good measure. It makes an attempt but is a total mess and I am not sure it is helpful.

I really like watching science videos that are correct. I study physics and work at a local university and oh boy I really enjoy your videos as you explain stuff without dumbing it down or making it wrong.
"Science video's that are correct"
0:11
0:11 this should be used for meme 😂😂
Person in my class with the guts to say what we all wanted to: "I don't think I understand this or really comprehend what's going on. I feel like I'm just going through the motions and getting better at solving the related equations"
Quantum Mechanics Prof: "Nobody understands or comprehends what's going on. We just get better at going through the motions and solving the equations".... continues lecture without missing a beat.
I believe QM to be a pile of bull.
It's like saying God created the the world in 7 days and if you ask how he could possibly do that the answer is "cause he is special like that". Doesn't make logical sense but some kind of quantum magic is happening.
And i think if people believe the answers can't be known as i have often heard they will not be looking for them. Or atleast way less motivated to do so.
And it shuts down ideas.
When i was around 12 or 13 i told my physics teacher that magnetism and gravity seem to me like 2 sides of the same coin. He kind of laughed at me (not really but the qay he said it felt condescending) and told me that they are 2 completely different things but he couldn't really explain either.
Kevin König The only reason why anyone believes in QM is because the math is right.
With god not so much.
@Tyler
Learning false facts is worse than learning nothing at all imo.
What is the point in learning QM when it is fundamentally flawed ?
When you say "taught" i hear "indoctrinate". If you talk and than in the end say "this could be all wrong it's just our assumptions we agreed on" i don't care what you have to say. That's not science. I care about claims
(statements of facts) and not opinions.
If you identify with your believes (also the believe that QM is correct) the vast majority of people won't ask questions that could disprove their believes. Causes cognitive dissonance. So once someone entered into the quantum cult he won't ask if magnetism and gravity are related because they KNOW they are 2 seperate forces. Gravity is gravity and magnetism is part of electro magnetic forces.
Einstein not understanding light saying "neither particle nor wave explains light but together they do" was such a brainfart but for some reason everybody jumped on board with it and the theories it gave birth to.
@@wlan-kabel2749
For math to decribe an idea and be right that idea doesn't have to be correct.
Nor do we have to understand it.
I can give you the math for egg boiling and how long of a boiling time will give you how hard of an egg. For the explanation i could make up some bs as long as i can wrap the math arround it.
So that math is correct doesn't prove the idea of QM nor does the fact that we have technology.
USB ports explained.
haahahadahaha
It's about the situation when you try to put USB cable into USB port and it doesn't fit, so you turn it 180 degrees and it still doesn't fit, so you repeat the operation till you finally come up with an idea to look at it to be sure which orientation is correct.

You really understod this?? My brain be like 0:11
I agree
I thought you were going to show the even cooler thing you can do with polarising filters; if you get two of them at 90 degrees to each other then no light gets through, yet if you put a third one in between at 45 degrees then all of a sudden light can pass through all of them
How is that possible?
Because science

Quantum Physics is like students doing homework. You can start the homework anytime...until you have to hand it in. :P
Question: if an electron goes through two consecutive hardness boxes and is found to be hard on the first box, is it a 100% chance that it'll be hard on the second box? Or does the first interaction meddle with the electrons state and change the probability to 50% again?
If it goes through a hardness box and is found to be hard it is 100% chance to be found hard after that as long as it doesn’t go through a color box.
@@TheActionLab Interesting. So when the first and second boxes are different, for example, color then hardness, what is special about the hardness interaction that allows for another color change?
It is the measurement of color that causes the change. It’s called the measurement dilemma. No matter what, when you measure things on a quantum level you inevitably cause changes to occurs. In the case color and hardness are actually spin of an electron in the y and x axis. They cannot be both known simultaneously. If you measure one, then you now know nothing (50/50) about the other
@@TheActionLab that make sense. Thanks!

@@maddyterrell0 boi
Are we absolutely certain that by “measuring” the electron that we’re not changing it in some way?
The whole point of the video is that measuring the electron changes it
My teacher said that when we measure the position of an electron (we throw photons at the electron to measure it ) the photons change the velocity of the electron because they have some momentum so we cannot accurately measure both position and velocity at the same time.

10:40 - *_"And then_** it's when it has to choose its final state of what polarization it is".*
...What if you put a third polarizer _after_ that? Will it not also block light depending on its angle? Unfortunately I don't have 3 polarizers at hand to experiment placing two of them at 45 degrees passing some 50% of the light and then placing a third one at various angles to see what happens. If anyone does have 3 polarizers at hand and would experiment, that would be cool.
But I do have two polarizers and remembered that the light coming off of the LCD monitor is polarized, so I played with it - and found the weirdest effect:
1. Place a polarizer near your eye and orient it such that the LCD screen turns "black".
2. Keeping the filter near your eye and maintaining that orientation (black screen), put the second polarizer _between_ that first one and the LCD and rotate it. There will be a position where it will UNDO the blocking of that first polarizer, i.e, you will see a black LCD monitor screen as expected, but with the monitor image brightly passing _only_ through that second polarizer, in a funny "round crop" kind of effect.
Not sure why that happens, but sure was unexpected.

"The only time one specific elementary particle is not in super position is exactly when you're measuring it. As soon as it leaves your measurement device you have no idea what position it's in"
You know, this is a pretty solid argument for simulation theory. Elementary particles not being "rendered" or "watched/measured" don't need a position to be in, because they're not in "sight", or "rendered". This is the same principle we use to optimize games and save computational power. Amazing video!

Very good thought. I think your closer to the truth than most realize
First of al,l thank you for doing something no other teacher I've seen do when talking about the hard/soft black/white boxes. They always talk about the percentages 0/100 percent or 50 percent. But never the actual numbers of how many particles you are starting and ending with. That actually helped me understand this a little more than previous videos have.
One of the best explanations of superposition for a layman like me. Absolutely wonderful.

This is the best demonstration I've seen to explain superposition.
Really well explained. Thanks.
Heisenberg told us that we cannot measure two things simultaneously.
A scientist shows us the path to light from darkness, while look at this man; he just threw us into darkness...
if two electrons in wavelength forms clash with each other that means measuring one electron will cause you to automatically measure the second. It is a pretty fucked up theory.

Who after watching the video still have no idea what superposition is?
There is no way to mentally picture superposition. You just have to rely on the information and what it shows you. If you think you understand then you actually don't understand. That's what makes it difficult
It is the final decision out of all possibilities. It can be manipulated. It is how light works.
It also tells that we only perceive etc what we observe, out of all possibilities. But besides that probably most will only perceive what is superimposed by others and will not go observe for themselves.

Awesome Tim & Eric reference. Great job!
Omg I just learned the most important thing in my life. Why don’t they teach you this in school?
They taught the version about polarized light in my school.
Does that mean they’re constantly spinning at such high of a speed it’s impossible to tell that they are, that way it can lock on to whatever position you make them go?
😵😵😵
Electrons aren’t spinning
If they were really spinning, in what direction would they spin ? If you’d look at them from the opposite side then they would spin in the other direction. Maybe the name “spin” isn’t an ideal choice.
