@Jonnyc0213 Too bad the explanation is a farce. This experiment had nothing to do with an observer causing a change in the behavior of the particle. That's absolute nonsense. The weirdness of the experiment is that matter and energy show characteristics of particles and waves.
HAHA look at the dudes face at 1:49 its fucked UPPPP... and i reall did watch the video cause i stumbled it but i am interested and have learned about it before somewhere.
damn, the american education system must suck if none of you has heard of this in school before. In germany we learn this stuff in highschool. Unfortunately the vid does not explain what exactly this phenomenon means for us and WHY the observer has an influence on the outcome of the experiment.
yes, the american education system does suck. Legislators are ever trying to please the under-educated with programs that hold back the smarter ones "so that everyone has an equal opportunity." It really just hurts everybody but it dosn't help that the stupid people keep voting in those kinda people. I just finished highschool, and I have heard of this phenomenon, but I had to go out of my way to learn it, its not offered in schools.
germany is exceptionally good at physics though dude, most education systems wont learn about quantum physics unless it is your major in college, we graze over it in America but not to the extent that you guys do, Japan may also learn about it in depth, but i doubt most other countries know much about quantum physics in their normal education system
This short is part of a feature length movie called "What the !#@$ do we know?", which goes into quantum mechanics, some philosophy, and a lot of advertising for a cult run by the reincarnation of a 40,000 year old Atlantean god. I shit you not. Be careful what you take from this.
Yeah...a good heads up. I actually read a good review for the movie so I watched it and was appalled at what a shameless plug it was for the fucked up cult. It was a very large part horseshit...
BUT this IS a real experiment that took place and really did produce these provocative results. I'd look for other resources online if anyone is interested. Look for "Afshar experiment" or "double-slit experiment".
i wish i could give this video 1 MILLION out of 5 stars! Whenever I've tried to explain this to someone who doesn't know, I've never been able to simplify it enough for them to understand (or even believe) how amazing the implications this are.
this is the BEST video I have ever seen on the topic! people, you are confused about what the observer has to do with this BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE! Even quantum physicists are! Thats the whole reason why this TOPIC IS SO FREAKING INTERESTING. (morons).
has there been any update on this? i mean that's pretty crazy that it does that but what is the reason for it? the video leaves off "it's as if it is aware..." well? is it? the information is almost useless to me unfortunately if i don't understand the basis for its function and i'm not a scientist nor do i really understand how that would work in the first place, so i can't figure it out myself
WTF? It's making it sound as if matter has something similar to that of a consciousness. Has it been checked that the observing apparatus was somehow interfering with the electron behavior? Somebody that knows this shit, please respond.
Ha, ha. It makes sense to me now...I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything but...it makes it very clear to me...I have read about wave functions, about Einstein and his theories, how particles move, how an obersavation could collapes a wave function...however I was never aware of the significance of this...that observation...could possibly do that?!!?...it makes so much sense to me and none and at all. This was a great video.
couldn't the measuring instrument actually physically be interfering with the ability for the electron to behave as a wave. In other words, prevent the destructive cancellation that produces the wave pattern?
So the neutrons are somehow sentient or maybe they are acting on some sort of instinct?
Or is the fact we are focusing our concious energy on observing the results somehow sending out a signal which is interfering with the neutron's behaviour?
No, as far as we know, subatomic particles are not sentient, and the ELECTRONS are being interfered with by the photons from the observing equipment. (or whatever kind of wave or particle the equipment is using.)
WHAT DO WE KNOW!we only know what we see. It wasn't until the recent 100 years that microwaves were invented, since we figured out there are ultra violet rays, infared light etc, things that we couldn't see before and didn't think existed. Imagine how much more we dont know? maybe on a different level then a human our cells are aware they are being watched.Who knows maybe its not that farfetched. We are made of living matter .I say people dont even know 1% of the total mystery that surrounds us
Can you put a % on something that's infinite? ;)If all the things that now exist can exist, what says that more can't come into being at any time? Who says that "laws" can't be altered? If space is infinite like is said, then yeah... we don't know poop.
True but, just because playing devil's advocate is fun, what's alive? Maybe it's not "living matter" but just reacting matter? We know that matter reacts to essentially everything so couldn't "Life" just be like Aristotle's theory that all of reality is cause and effect. There was an initial cause, whatever it was, and then everything has been continuous cause and effect.
I don't expect you to agree, just to think about it and trying or succeeding to prove me wrong is ALWAYS appreciated ^^!
atlast... now... i know what exactly is Young's Double Slit experiment.... been studying it in hight school.. and then in university... but its just now.. that i understood how exactly it works
amazing, inspiring, motivating, emotional, scientific, realistic, marvelous, stunning, i ran out of words to describe this video. truly amazing. i love this.
look at your hands. and look at the symbol on both your hands. its an arabice number. All im gonna say to u is go and find the values of the arabic numbers on your hand and find out the sum of the two arabic numbers by adding the numbers on your hands, then try to find out what is that number..the significance of that number.. interested?
no one? 10,000 views here. All Physics books have this in them. The average person cant understand the implications of this, even with a child-like approach to higher physics as in this video here.
Wow this is it. Plz make more such vids. Its easier to learn physics this way than studying a book having 2000+ odd books. Our finals are coming.. More or Electrostatics and Magnetic fields plz???
Couldn't it be that the proximity of the measuring device upset the experiment? I have trouble believing the results changed simply due to the fact it was being observed.
quantum cryptography works on the same principle as this experiment. shortly explained: if somebody sees your cryptographed message, you will notice it because it was CHANGED by the observer when observing !!!
You will be "mindfucked" because we can not comprehend things which are eternal (outside of time). It is possible that there is one true God; however, your brain will explode before you ever explain it... I really want to become a quantum physicist because it is about as close as I will ever get. I love things that are ridiculously bizarre like computers that run better when they are off, something being true and false simultaneously, ....
ok "eternal" = forever, and time is forever, time doesnt stop. so how is your god outside of time? he would be in line with time (if god exists at all). so therefore, in summation, you're a dumbass.
Is reality the perception of your mind or is it the world around us? How can we tell the difference? I personally believe that perception is not our only way of living life, but I could be wrong.
You don't need to be created of you're already there. :p If you keep tracing it backwards like you said then something would have just existed, the substance(s)for anything to be made from, and the force(s)to cause things to happen. Everything is reality, but not everything said is truth.
Jeremiah 23:24 Or can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I do not see him, says Jehovah? Do I not fill the heavens and the earth, says Jehovah?
Acts 17:28 For in Him we live and move and exist, as also some of the poets among you have said, For we are also His offspring.
I'm not trying to preach and I'm not claiming to know all the answers etc. I just thought you should know something about what you talk about. It's ridiculous how many people didn't even take a look before attacking things. I guess they think it's taught in the bibles tht god is a limited little man or something. "God is spirit" it says, which is compared to water and air which are fluid if that's of any interest to you.
Dear friend. It`s not 114 that now know something that the others don`t. It was the last 114 people on the planet that did`n know. So now we are all informed.
Dude, your wording is bad. But luckily I JUST got your meaning. Use a period, people think that you mean BECAUSE this was only watched 114 times that the human race hasnt progressed but you're referring to the video. I almost flamed you for being retarded.
Video is a bit cheesy lol, but that really helped me understand the experiment!
