Dear Mr. Lucid, everytime I watch your videos I think of cloning you. If we had a Nick at every educational institution in this country we would be # 1 in every subject. Your ability to present and describe complex issues with logic and eaze is refreshing and urgently need it in our school system. Thank you and please keep posting.
I agree about the delivery. I think the key is the medium of delivery. He's extremely talented, but had issues getting tenure. There's got to be a place for this, I'm always staggered by how few views there are compared with a video of someone falling over, this seems really unfair to me. Nick deserves to be massively successful all I can do is buy him a coffee.
Casey: First, thanks for the attention to detail. Second, I never said any of the diagrams in the video represented *everywhere* the electron could be. Third, just because the electron has no outer-limit, it doesn't mean the probability is non-zero everywhere. Depending on the orbital, there are very specific places where the probability is, in fact, exactly zero.
@@saswatsarangi6669 we call them NODES. Its the region at a particular distance from nucleus when psi(wave function) goes zero and thus electron probability is exactly zero.you can't find e in nodes. Different orbitals have different no. And sizes of these nodes.
That reply came from Richard Feynman who is a highly respected scientist ( he worked on the atomic bomb and won two Nobel prizes in physics) however Richard Feynman according to Murray Gell-Man who really aught to know,is a showman and show people never want their show to end by actually proving something and making this proof public.
I believe Feynman was dead serious when he said "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics"... and he was a guy who shared a Nobel Prize for Physics for his work in quantum electrodynamics...
Angel Pap Thank you. 10k subs would be amazing! I'll be excited when I hit 1k. It's nice to know this is reaching people all over the world. Science belongs to everyone.
Hey Nick, first of all, let me say The Science Asylum is my favorite science-oriented channel on youtube. Thanks a lot for your work. I have a suggestion: what about a video explaining the "quantum levitation" where a superconductor floats on a magnet? Greetings from Brazil!
Defining quantum physics "Studying the existence and interaction of discrete energy." Cause it all started with Max plack quantising the energy....and it turned out usefull.
Hey, just saw your channel. Instantly subbed. Yes you do deserve millions of subs. Your way of explaining is idiot-proof + pure entertainment. Not a lot of youtube science channel explain so well. Stay as you are and luck wont be necessary for your channel to grow.
The Schrodinger cat thought experiment was helpful when i was learning about quantum physics and the Heisenberg theory (uncertainty principle) and probability waves and the like, mind bending stuff that did my head in for weeks trying to grasp the concept. Like a few comments have said already please do a vid on Schrodingers cat and the uncertainty principle.
These depictions of electrons are helpful. I've seen enough people describe how the usual comical depiction of an atom is wrong, but few people say exactly why. The depiction of an electron cloud and stochastic probability makes the idea clearer. (I think). Question: So do electrons actually have stable orbits the way we think about planets and moons? I'm still thinking of this from my basic understanding of Newtonian orbits. And that was mostly gleaned from playing KSP.
+Tetracarbon (Phillip Wong) Given what we know (for sure) about the science right now, electron motion is nothing /at all/ like planetary motion. Electrons don't even really orbit. We say they're in "orbitals" because they have angular momentum kinda like things in orbits do... but just having angular momentum doesn't mean they orbit.
Nick I'm actually a physics student, and I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all of them. They're both entertaining & accurate. Could you maybe one day do one on the Many-Minds interpretation of QM? (Not the better known Everrett/Many-Worlds one).
I like quantum physics. Everything that my wrong human logic thinks is a paradox gets explained by that. Its just really exciting to see what the real logic is, the one of the universe. I know my explanation is shitty but anyways. Love your vids, you deserve a lot more recognition!
love your videos!! wait I have told you before this!!! Also I look forward for your videos!!! Its entertaining and informative!!! more more we want more videos!!!
I have a doubt. If something doesn't exist while we are not looking at it then a blind person shouldn't fear while walking on a road as for him no vehicles exist
In a simple sense, its the behavior at a quantum scale (really really small) and how things dont act like we intuitively think. From uncertainency to probability reality is unknowable.
From an electrical engineer, here is my point of view on these 4 facts discovered by quantum physicist: Quantun crazy fact #1: Electron jump suddenly energy level (orbital), acting like a guitar string under tension. The higher the jump, the higher the frequency of the photon emitted. Like a guitar, the electron can only follow the grove determined by the fret. If your fingers are not exactly pressing on the correct position, the frequency emitted by that "quantum guitar" will match the fret position the nearest to the low frequency side because the law of conservation of energy make it impossible to generate a high energy photon from low energy orbital difference.. The atomic spectrum correspond to the natural vibration frequency of the electron jumping orbital. Hydrogen, with it's single proton, has a simple mathematical formula to explain each color lines seen in a prism. Quantun crazy fact #2: Photon are wave, period. The apparent behavior as particle is caused by incorrect interpretation of the result of experiments. The photon is a waving packet of electric energy which induce a loop of magnetic energy propagating in some direction. The magnetic loop is the size of the wavelength. When that loop collapse, it induce an electric loop which continue to propagate in the same direction. The packet of energy keep moving at the speed of light, each loop inducing the next one continuously. The smaller the loop, the higher the energy. It is similar to sound wave. A 10 watts amplifier makes the woofer move an inch back and forth at 40 Hz. The same 10 watts make the twitter move a fraction of millimeter. A gamma ray is wiggling 1 million times faster than visible light. The magnetic/electric loop os smaller than the size of a proton. The energy of a single gamma ray photon is the same as 1 million green photons. Quantun crazy fact #3 Measurement destroy the photon. It is not possible to extract even 1 thousand of the energy of a photon. Doing so would change it's frequency. Any measurement imply the complete absortion of a photon. Any popularizer of science who tells you that "we measure a single photon" then the interference pattern on this double slit experiment disappear is just crazy talking. The electron is comparable to a vibrating string of a guitar. High speed camera can show you where the string is, but you can not tell what is the music played from a few static picture of strings. When you ear 440 Hz, the string is really everywhere within the confined space where it can oscillate. It doesn't help to freeze the string. No useful information come from such immobile state. The 440 Hz sound appear only when that string is in dynamic motion. Quantun crazy fact #4 We already mentioned this as crazy fact #3. The other lesson learned from electrical engineering is that bandwidth increase when a fundamental frequency is modulated in amplitude or frequency. In our everyday world, the temperature of 25 Celsius imply large vibrating motion of atoms. The Doppler effect is similar to the frequency shifting of a vibrating object (think about the vibrato gnerating by a rotating speaker in the 1970's Church organs). At room temperature, the random motion of atoms/elements makes the spectroscopic line wider. The atom can also absorb photons which do not match exactly the natural resonant frequency of the orbital jump because of that same bandwidth increase. Black body radiation which is modeled as a random spread of frequency with a peak moving toward ultraviolet as temperature increase is the result of this Doppler effect applied to fast moving particles.. It is clear that only statistic can explain the motion of hot objects. It is not possible to predict the exact path of any single atoms.
•Quantized energy levels, •Superposition, •Uncertainty, •Wave-Particle Duality, •Entanglement Entanglement certainly should have been included with the other phenomena. The word "weird" is overused in quantum descriptions.
I believe the reason for uncertainty is that the particle and everything else including the measuring device is the same thing all existence slows down “ or time zeros “ to a “point” for lack of a better word .
Uh OK thus video was fun to watch, can you do a dumbed down super simple longer version? I'm really interested in the subject but I really can't get my head around it.
That's the problem with quantum physics. It's so weird that no one really understands it like they want to. We understand it enough to use it to make things like transistors (a vital component in almost all modern electronics) and to make predictions about the early universe... but that's about it. The concepts are just too alien. I did make a couple videos with more detail after this: th-cam.com/video/6ttVoTcpvHU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/TXOMFU_sNJs/w-d-xo.html I really need to revisit it though.
Simple pictures showing orbital shapes are intended to describe the angular forms of regions in space where the electrons occupying the orbital are likely to be found. The diagrams cannot, however, show the entire region where an electron can be found, since according to quantum mechanics there is a non-zero probability of finding the electron anywhere in space. Instead the diagrams are approximate representations of boundary or contour surfaces where the probability density | ψ(r, θ, φ) |2 has a constant value, chosen so that there is a certain probability (for example 90%) of finding the electron within the contour. Although | ψ |2 as the square of an absolute value is everywhere non-negative, the sign of the wave function ψ(r, θ, φ) is often indicated in each subregion of the orbital picture.
Superb video. I am from India. Please make one video on the Ramanujan. I mean on his equations, which now we use to understand the behaviour of black hole.
Force is what happens when the multiple perceptions of locations become reconciled into a particular vector. I've been thinking that location doesn't exist but only vectors. There is no current location because everything is in motion. All you can tell is where something was. For some reason I'd rather use the term velocity than vector because it sounds better. What if everything uses polar coordinates and things become more fuzzy with distance. We think in cartesian coordinates and maybe there is a sort of hybrid system. It seems to me that coordinate systems and fields may be identical. In fact perhaps electrons are the things generating space itself. In other words confusion about what they are is that they themselves are the space itself creating the grid for the other particles.
The easiest way I've come to imagine particle-wave duality is 'rain' on water. Imagine the 'raindrops' dont exist. You just see the discrete impact location ("particle") and the expanding....wave.
I think: Whenever you mesure - for example - the spin of an electron, the outcome is a result of this measurment, and not a (inherent) property of the electron. It‘s the same with the photon: The properties „particel“ or „wave“ are outcomes of measurments, but no (inherent) properties of the photon. The photon is neither a wave nor a particel, it‘s just a photon. A dice in a cup has at all times all possile results printed onto the faces, but it has - for example - no property „six“. And the probability 1/6 has nothing to do with the inherent properties of the dice but with the observation only. I guess, I am somehow in line with your video. Right ???
Could you explain how these experiments measure something as small as a single particle without the equipment potentially interfering with it? You may have a video out there already....
The equipment does interfere with the particle wich is what causes it to assume a specific position (or whatever property you are interested in). In quantum physics measurement means an interaction, it does not matter wether someone is actively experimenting it or not.
There are things in this universe that we have no right to question. Nor do we even have the mental capacity to understand. To think that we possess even a fraction of GODS mental capacity would be ridiculous.
Quantum physics in ten words or less: The real-world study of RNG (random number generation) manipulation for intellectual speed runners. Sorry its 6 years late, but i find myself loving your back catalog too! Stay crazy!
I am no physicist or smart in any way ut I once heard that the elecotron is "nothing more then" the effect of spacetime itself. That seen from a certain perspective you can see "the electron" in different places at the same time, but that it is just the effect of spacetime seen from your perspective. That certain region of spacetime from a perspective will be "of ballance" and have an "electron", while other regions from your perspective are quantized and "in ballance" and seem therefore as "empty". I once heard that the "electron" doesn't jump from one orbit to the other, but that the "electron" flows in to the "empty region" which to preserves it's quantisized balance creates another "of balance region" (electron) in a state (region) higher, but that it is all just the effect of spacetime itself seen from our perspective alone. I just listened and kept smoking my joint while the guy was telling me this not knowing what to think of it.
It's all so obvious: we are observing a computer program executing. Quantum Mechanics makes perfect sense to me when I realize it's describing nothing more than what we now understand to be computer programming. All the elements are there: discrete and rigidly defined digitized states; "probability wave" representation to provide necessary fuzziness where no exactness is required, i.e.when we aren't doing any measuring or close observation.
Why did we assume that things were made up of particles or waves in the first place? And once we did that, we just went on with the debate of which one it could be... What's the most important question( in my opinion) is:Why are things seemingly random on Quantum scale at all?? What could be the reason behind it. Is it our lack of clarity regarding the very definitions of things that makes them seem random??
When you watch these videos your mental state becomes a superposition because you can't tell if you're understanding more or realizing how little you understand.
Hey Nick, nice job on explaining these stuff. I am a software engineer but always got fascinated with science in general. I have one question. It is a photon what always goes out after the electron change its status or orbital? What is an example when an electron cuanges its orbital?
First crazy thing about Quantum Physics is entanglement. I don't blame you for skipping it. We don't really understand it very well. Yes, we can describe the Math, but it doesn't make sense, or even fit with other theories very well (such as Relativity).
Ten words or less? Not really But Quantum mechanics becomes less weird when you stop asking why quantum scale entities act so different from what we see on the macroscale and start asking what makes the macroscale seem different. The quantum scale isn't wierd, Ours is.
If measuring an electrons position splits reality in all the different possibilities , i could make all my decisions based on those measurements and would therefore ensure that one of my future selves would always make the right decision, I'm not sure though, if I should stop doing so after the first wrong decision made through that method, because then I would know that I'm not the version of me that had the right measurements given to them by chance, but I could still be a version that failed only once or thrice and so on. It's relevant to ask if creating lots of realities in which I make the wrong decisions based on the measurements would be a bearable price to pay for one in which I always decide in my best interest
If the many-world interpretation is true, then yes there is probably a version of you that always makes the correct decisions just be accident... but it's probably not the version that you are (statistically speaking). The odds are 1/nearly infinity.
The crazy thing about quantum mechanic: you need to master: calculus 1, 2, and 3, linear algebra and matrices, trigonometry, mathematical sets and logic, then and only then can you approach it Physically without going Insane. Come to think of it, this explains the craziness of this channel 😂 *forgot to mention Probability and statistics.😣
Another crazy thing is that professional physicists have to avoid saying directly that they study quantum theory to keep their reputation. That's something I've read and heard half a dozen times just this year.

I REALLY LOVE THE WAY HE SPEAKS, AND MAKES SCIENCE INTERESTING...HIS VIDEOS ARE A PROOF THAT SCIENCE IS WIERDER THAN WE THINK- A TYPICAL AsyLuM🙈🙈🙉🙉🤧👿☠
I believe the reason for uncertainty is that the particle and everything else including the measuring device is the same thing all existence slows down “ or time zeros “ to a “point” for lack of a better word .

and the best part is, that the biggest and most massive things in the universe, blackholes, are 'singularity' that can be understood only in quantum!

Quantum physics in ten words or less: The real-world study of RNG (random number generation) manipulation for intellectual speed runners. Sorry its 6 years late, but i find myself loving your back catalog too! Stay crazy!
The perfect violation of all mankind holds as absolute reality.
Quantum Mechanics: the absolute madness that is unfolded by science all together
I am no physicist or smart in any way ut I once heard that the elecotron is "nothing more then" the effect of spacetime itself. That seen from a certain perspective you can see "the electron" in different places at the same time, but that it is just the effect of spacetime seen from your perspective. That certain region of spacetime from a perspective will be "of ballance" and have an "electron", while other regions from your perspective are quantized and "in ballance" and seem therefore as "empty". I once heard that the "electron" doesn't jump from one orbit to the other, but that the "electron" flows in to the "empty region" which to preserves it's quantisized balance creates another "of balance region" (electron) in a state (region) higher, but that it is all just the effect of spacetime itself seen from our perspective alone. I just listened and kept smoking my joint while the guy was telling me this not knowing what to think of it.
Perception, is the probability of a certain unfolding. Word... word...
I support you friend and my name is Tushar Sharma from India
It's all so obvious: we are observing a computer program executing. Quantum Mechanics makes perfect sense to me when I realize it's describing nothing more than what we now understand to be computer programming. All the elements are there: discrete and rigidly defined digitized states; "probability wave" representation to provide necessary fuzziness where no exactness is required, i.e.when we aren't doing any measuring or close observation.
Quantum: The current best theory explaining small things we don't understand
Aatish Bhatia on Twitter said "Don't look: waves. Look: particles" - quantum physics in five words!
I only need 1 word to describe quantum physics. Crazy!
Why did we assume that things were made up of particles or waves in the first place? And once we did that, we just went on with the debate of which one it could be...
What's the most important question( in my opinion) is:Why are things seemingly random on Quantum scale at all?? What could be the reason behind it. Is it our lack of clarity regarding the very definitions of things that makes them seem random??
You and Kurtzegesagt are my favorite things on the Tube. And Japanese scifi.
I'll do it in five, crazy rules about tiny stuff
It's crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
Plz make a video on Quantum Entanglement PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE
When you watch these videos your mental state becomes a superposition because you can't tell if you're understanding more or realizing how little you understand.
In my experience, both things happen simultaneously.
Quantum in ten words : has a propablity of 100 percent that we dont grasp the concepts till we have a great explanation (nick is perfect )
Hey Nick, nice job on explaining these stuff. I am a software engineer but always got fascinated with science in general. I have one question. It is a photon what always goes out after the electron change its status or orbital? What is an example when an electron cuanges its orbital?
10 words describing quantum : Everything that wouldn't otherwise make sense on a large scale
First crazy thing about Quantum Physics is entanglement. I don't blame you for skipping it. We don't really understand it very well. Yes, we can describe the Math, but it doesn't make sense, or even fit with other theories very well (such as Relativity).
Quantum entanglement deserves its own video.
@@ScienceAsylum Yeah! You always make the hard to explain easy. I'm waiting for this video.
Does the light really go out when we shut the refrigerator door? The light does not even exist until observed.
We want more of your videos..today it was really a bad day but guess what your video made me laugh..wow l like your madness
I upload twice per month. It's the best I can do by myself.
Ten words or less?
Not really
But
Quantum mechanics becomes less weird when you stop asking why quantum scale entities act so different from what we see on the macroscale and start asking what makes the macroscale seem different.
The quantum scale isn't wierd,
Ours is.
um electrons can exist anywhere..
9 words: Every particle only has a probability of being anywhere.
excellent!!!
Well putting it in Einsteins words, "Quantum Mechanics, Real black magic Calculus" B|
Great video BTW
If measuring an electrons position splits reality in all the different possibilities , i could make all my decisions based on those measurements and would therefore ensure that one of my future selves would always make the right decision, I'm not sure though, if I should stop doing so after the first wrong decision made through that method, because then I would know that I'm not the version of me that had the right measurements given to them by chance, but I could still be a version that failed only once or thrice and so on.
It's relevant to ask if creating lots of realities in which I make the wrong decisions based on the measurements would be a bearable price to pay for one in which I always decide in my best interest
If the many-world interpretation is true, then yes there is probably a version of you that always makes the correct decisions just be accident... but it's probably not the version that you are (statistically speaking). The odds are 1/nearly infinity.
Quatum mechanics in 3 words "Brilliant but crazy."
Trying to measure the fabric of reality is like trying to lasso a rainbow
What appears to be nothing is actually everything.
quantum physics exists. consciousness determines measurement. life is the bridge.
The crazy thing about quantum mechanic: you need to master: calculus 1, 2, and 3, linear algebra and matrices, trigonometry, mathematical sets and logic, then and only then can you approach it Physically without going Insane.
Come to think of it, this explains the craziness of this channel 😂
*forgot to mention Probability and statistics.😣
Another crazy thing is that professional physicists have to avoid saying directly that they study quantum theory to keep their reputation. That's something I've read and heard half a dozen times just this year.
I've never heard that. Quantum physics is a pretty exciting and respected field among physicists.
@@ScienceAsylum last time I heard this was BBC the infinite monkey cage quantum worlds with Brian Cox in February.
The. Most. Confusing.Topic. To. Happen. In. Science. Since. Gravity
quantum physics is most craziest thing ever
Getting from A to B isn't real until you arrive
The really crazy part about QM is light polarization
