    USB plugs exist in one of three states: the up state, the down state, and the super positioned state. Only when you look at the USB plug does its state collapse into one or the other which is why it never goes in until you look at it.

      Now in this Universe I will tell you why it probably doesent exist: If this theorem is true every time when someone dies in a lonely room, theres another universe where this person will live longer, and another one where it lives longer,... . Then there should be some people just living for a very long time in this universe, too. And with long I mean very long. (Maybe as old as we humans are) So i think this theorem has to be false!

    “You have to remember that the whole idea of branching is just a human convenience” Glad he added this line in the end, this is exactly the point of all of it. The true laws of the universe are nowhere near the way we are describing it. It's just a matter of having a more fitting and more complete mathematical explanation of the bahaviour of the universe.

      vsauce has video about physical laws and their role in universe as explanations. Michael tells the same - laws are not the reasons of events in universe. They are just assuming the relationship in-between. He tells about nail in the desk and the shadow from it. Length of the shadow is determined by physical laws and depends on height of the nail. You could even calculate the height of the nail by knowing length of the shadow and position of light. This is the law. BUT length of the shadow isn't a _reason_ for height of nail. Nail's height isn't caused by length of its shadow. These values are tangled but not in cause-effect way. It's just our way to describe relationship in-between. Absolutely real and existing relations but NOT the reasons of things. You're talking exactly about the same. Our math is the way to find out relations and consequences, not the way to discover the reasons. And our theories are always just a models. Robert Anton Wilson tells us not to mess territory and its map :) Laws of physics are our map of reality. It's not a good idea to mess it with reality itself :) Maps are useful are reflects real things but they are just a models.

    "You have to remember that the whole idea of branching, is just a human convenience." I think this statement is an important thing to communicate for people to even begin to understand concepts like this. We as humans have to use our limited experience of the universe to apply reason to stuff that is outside our area of comprehension. We can't comprehend scale without a frame of reference for example. You can say the sun is 93 million miles away, but if you don't scale that down to something small enough to understand (like the distance from Chicago to New York), you might as well make up a number because it's impossible to picture that. What we describe as "multiple worlds" with near infinite possibilities where everything we could have done has has happened, is really just us creating a frame of reference to understand it. It isn't the reality of how it works, it's just a way to comprehend it.

      There is not multiple worlds that exists, it is multiple POSSIBILITIES that exists. Once the timeline is changed, the old timeline no longer exists except as a known possibility.
      Strangely though, time is like a river and 'residues' from the old timeline can carry over to the new. Also prayers of the previous timelines still carries over to the new timeline even if that prayer no longer gets prayed. figure that

      I think you cannot. There are questions where we can only make educated guesses with mathematical predictions. It helps to get a better understanding of what we precieve, but it doesn't prove anything. The prof there gets pretty far with rational logical thinking. But when it comes to quantum physics we meet the limits of our perception (even enhanced with sensitive tools). We don't even fully understand how our own brains processes this input. But still Props well deserved.

      Sean's description of parallel universes as air particles is accurate. You see, two air molecules never occur in the same position in space, in a similar way, it's impossible for us human beings or even any other particle made out of quantum particles in our universe to interact with the other versions of themselves cuz it'll break the reality. If we actually create a portal into a parallel world, it just shows that all the particles that are interacting in both versions exist in superposition while observing, which is not possible according to Schrodinger's equation.
      So yeah, it's unlikely that your lost socks or guitar picks went into a parallel universe.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if someday we find out that the universe is infinitely big or ever expanding in all dimensions, not just in distance or time. Maybe all we are is some sort of energy that simply exists, and everything that happens(including its existence) can be described as entropy. That way it makes sense how the Big Bang happened without anything “prior”, since we all are just waves of energy and it simply transcends states infinitely. So maybe everything is infinite in infinite ways that it could be infinite(like the multiverse theory). Then perhaps physics could be treated as math

He then went on to cure cancer, build an interstellar spaceship in his backyard out of popsicle sticks and dog feces, then became President of the USA, before finally eating his father on national television and then giving himself a Presidential pardon.

      Everything humans can imagine is much broader than anything that is possible.
      For example, fire was required to discover iron, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a civilization in the Iron Age that hasn’t discovered fire.
      Likewise, Sean Carrol HAD to have been born in the 20th century, otherwise he wouldn’t have the same parents, wouldn’t look the same, wouldn’t have the same upbringing, etc, so you couldn’t call him Sean Carrol.
      Likewise, curing cancer may one day REQUIRE technologies that currently don’t exist, like iron absolutely needing fire. And because of this, it may be impossible for cancer to be fully cured before the 21st century unless a significant change in history occurred (one which would make the population of people very different).
      In this sense, it may be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Sean Carrol to have cured cancer in ANY timeline, and thus no Sean Carrol exists.
      Just because you can’t immediately think of how something violates physics, doesn’t mean it doesn’t. And the more complex the system, the more likely it is.

    4:20 By choosing to use a cat as the subject of the entanglement; a living being itself that's capable of observing the outcome of the waveform; not only did Schrodinger illustrate the wave form effect relative to the experimenter, but also showed the subjectivity of outcomes relative to the observer, and the subjective divergence of experiential reality into multiple parallel. While the cats own experiences of either living or dying were singular, they both simultaneously exist in super position to the experimenter outside. For every moment of possible decay the cat would experience it's death, but for the scientist outside could simultaneously still be alive. This shows multiple experientially divergent outcomes are capable of simultaneous expression for subjects within isolated/separated systems of probability in relationship to subjects external.

    • @roaldpage
      @roaldpage 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know the rest of the video touched on something similar, but they didn't recognize the separate experiences of the cat, or the fact that through the cats experiences the very point about simultaneous divergent existential experiences were possible to be illustrated through schrodingers experiment itself without even touching on the double slit or other more recent evidence.

      To Buddhists in countries like China they believe evolution when a person upon his death his soul will at that moment move to another place and where he/she eventually goes or does depends on a ruling by the god or haven, this person could be reborn to a person or an animal, upon the Haven court’s ruling largely depends on the dead person’s past life. Also, all died are to cross a bridge under it is a river called ‘memory-erasing water’ and once a person walks across this bridge he/she will immediately forget whatever did in the past life, good or bad, like shuffling a deck of cards. It’s teaching emphasizing people
      to do more goods on this life then you will be rewarded in due respect, or facing likely penalty including going down the hell where one could be thrown to
      a boiling oil pot or to the devil fire. This is all from the teaching since none of us have any memory or experience.

If this is true then would I consider a versions of myself spliced into an infinite particles of what makes the universe separated from say another Earth with another being of me? I guess it comes down to what is entangled exactly? I mean I could be an Alligator a tree, or a bus split into a multitude of parts like minerals strewn about on this alternate Earth that has been shuffled though the ages with different people and in essence I am entirely another being or inanimate object.

      Actually the reason for the experiment was to prove that things like this do not matter on our macro-scale. The cat being alive or not is irrelevant to us because we have no control of knowing. The cat is either alive or dead whether we observe or not. Us not knowing doesn't change reality itself, only our knowledge of it.
      It's the same with the still brought up double split experiment. The reason that the it changed from waves and particles is not because of our observation, but that we need light to observe. Our observation was and is irrelevant.
      Schrodinger's cat thought experiments set to prove the same thing. On our macro scale, it doesn't matter, we don't affect the universe's laws of physics and our knowing doesn't change reality.

    The problem with using a cat in Schrodinger's experiment is that we say it's unknown whether the cat is alive or dead unless observed, so it's "both".

      One of the main points of quantum mechanics is that things can really be in a superposition of different states at the same time, it's not just a prediction tool. As illustrated in the video, this is necessary for the double slit experiment to work.
      In order to account for this and still believe in a single world, you need to invent more rules, which is where all the talk of the collapse of the wave function comes from.

      The Schrodinger equation doesn't predict multiple possibilities, it predicts only one. The video also said there is only one wave function, but the world comes from parts of the wave function that barely interact with each other as if they're separate worlds. There is no instance in which they took an equation and then applied it to something else. You can't apply an equation to reality, that doesn't make sense. Carrol himself said that the branching is a human description of what's going on, and that that is not a fundamental description. Here is what gives you MW: 1) Schrodinger Equation 2) Wave function. That's it. Many worlds is what you get when you remove unnecessary assumptions. There is no magical thinking here. Scientists should remove all unnecessary assumptions. For example, Copenhagen interpretation thinks measurement and the observer is special. It also uses the same axioms as MW (because MW is pure quantum mechanics), but then it breaks those axioms for some new rules when you are looking. This is absolutely atrocious and Occam's razor severely punishes such theories, especially since these new rules are utterly unnecessary and you don't get any additional benefit. Expecting quantum mechanics to tell you about the observer is like expecting gravity theory to tell you the orbit of Earth. As an analogy, to predict what the night sky looks like you need to 1) know the laws of physics. We aren't done here. 2) Know where and when you are. 3) know how to use the laws of physics. The job of a theory is only to do 1). It has no other obligation.

    To make it clear. Humans observing something does NOT collapse a wave function specifically. The "measurement" and "entanglement" aspects to quantum wave function collapse are the same. The act of us "observing" something requires us to interact with it in some way, even up to and including bouncing a simple photon off a particle so we can detect it, thus entangling it.
