Having read through the comments it appears as though there's "entanglement" in action here. I knew after reading one comment what the other's spin was.
I loooove the ideas this generates in my head. I believe life is made of choices(possibilities) and focus/interest(measurement) gets you to the one of choice. I'd like to focus on its application to life even though I understand it could also be used to raise the bar in technology.
1 thing that always strikes me about QM is that there are so many things about it which are familiar to anyone who's ever written any kind of software requiring management of scarce resources. If I were designing a universe & had only a certain amount of memory & processor capacity I might be tempted to use similar tricks to keep resource usage down. I stop short of positing that we're really part of a computer simulation. But our U seems designed to keep total required information minimized.
One may ponder though, according to many intellectual sources, the universe has an overwhelming abundance. Therefore, would there be a need to restrict memory and cpu cycles?
@sbergman27 'Who knows?' I don't. You seemed to have a grasp on it though. Along this line of thinking, perhaps the U isn't 'trying' to minimize resources but keeps them cached (if you will) until they're called upon. Thinking in terms of database systems, they can store enormous amounts of info, limited only by their hardware capacity and network pipe. They only distribute it's content if 'properly' queried. ???
@4micaman Arthur Clarke & Gentry Lee topped off Arthur's excellent "Rendezvous with Rama" with a later trilogy. It finally turned out that "god" was as confounded by nonlinear dynamics ("Chaos Theory") as we are. So he set about creating a whole plethora of universes, each with different constants. & placed probes to observe. Through a brute force algorithm he hoped to discover which Universes became "harmonious", all parts acting harmoniously with the rest. Like 1 colossal life-form.
@sbergman27 Only recently did I become aware of MIT's Open Courseware. We wonder if the 'open-source' and/or FOSS communities had any impact on big name schools doing this type thing. Either way - very progressive!
@harderwijk11 And your point is? Example - I believe in Gods, albeit a different sort of God you're probably referring too. Roughly, some 6 billion Gods.
@4micaman "Have a great day you God like creature you." OXYMORON!!! Wikipedia Says: A creature is a created thing, being or any product of creative action. The term is used most frequently to refer to biological organisms. The term is derived from the traditional belief that all things are created by God.
@4micaman I used wiki as reference; it being the first link but the first thing i used is etymology. Besides I'm sure 100% of dictionaries agree. How is a user/reviewer publishing system much different from an author/publisher system? I love the condescending tone you have lil man but I was born before the internet and still have knowledge acquired from before that (among which the definition of creature which I had to learn upon reading frankenstein in grade 6) thank you, goodbye!
civilisations who are some millions of years older than we must be able to do all the things we can think of. so I can imagine, that our human race and our civilisation is an experiment of those godlike beeings. maybe they want to see how a developing civilisation as we are learns to cope with problems like stupidity, aggression, powerabuse, global weatherchange, selfdestruction, fanatism and so on. ...maby hoagland, j. farrell and others are right and we are like rats in a labor!?!?
@fractalnomics Yes it was. However, Rutherford's model depicted a picture of electrons orbiting the nucleus(circular or elliptical) that was analogous to planets orbiting the sun. It was a hazy approximation. The orbits of electrons is far more complicated; far more abstract; most importantly... quantized(meaning to large degree-digital ie Planck)... which means Schrodinger's wave equation results in the correct atomic description so far(or in other words the best theory).
i love quantem physics so i feel like takeing a shot at this spooky action stuff. althouh i cant use formulas i have an idea. when the two partecls get too close to each outher ther proberters exchange and basecly because at the quatem level things work diffrently they are like 1 partical but split in 2. so when one lands blue its the messurement problem that says you mesured it it now chooses to be blue so that other probabilty must be someware. and the other partical is where it is.
Electrons DO NOT orbit around a nucleus. For if electrons did revolve around a nucleus, their electron micrographs would look like the planet Saturn, but THEY DO NOT LOOK LIKE SATURN. They do look like semi-solid spheres, due to the winking in & out of existence about the nucleus. The electrons wink in and out of existence between this local Universe and the underlying Subspace from which all fundamental energy & sub-particles emanate from. Subspace is all around us. Matter comes from it.
This is a good video. Thanks for making it available. I have a question, though, which wasn't discussed much in the video. Quantum Physics tells us that particles don't have any properties unless they are measured / observed. What does that tell us about the universe? Does that mean that the universe wouldn't have any features / properties without someone to observe it?
@mlgarton yes and no...its not that universe won't have features without "someone" but its actually "anything" to interact with. For example shining a light is a observation, push or pull is an observation or any other environmental effect is an act of observation and this is true for all quantum measurement. its not that any human or animal observing but anything that interacts is an observation which then makes it distinct with feature..ok?
@rohit9643 Yeah, it is exciting field, though I would love to know more about dark energy, and dark matter first. but maybe is all connected together.
one experiment that might prove useful for information exchange is to use the entanglement experiments between the ISS and a ground nasa centre , it would be instant communication , very useful for the internet too
Also no mension of Einstein's contribution black body radiation and photo electric effect (which is what give him the the noble prize) and it's advancement in quantum mechanics. It made out as if Einstein is against quantum mechanics, which isn't true. He just think there is a deeper true.
interestingly no mention of either Heisenberg or Planck on a documentary about quantum mechanics. I find Heisenberg's uncertainty principle good path to understand the theory.
@xingfenzhen The American TV network PBS has previously produced several one-hour documentaries on Quantum Mechanics, where they do discuss the contributions of Heisenberg & Planck to this topic. I guess the producers at PBS realize they have done especially Heisenberg to death already, and so in this latest documentary it is about time to give proper mention of the contributions of other physicists. Those documentaries are up here on our YourTube.
Why do they not mention that the double slit experiment only shows wave like results when observing the experiment? If you do the exact same experiment but don't watch while it happens and only look at the results when the experiment is done, then you get the same two line result as you got with the bowling balls. Can't believe they left that out.
@doohgk Other way around. When you observe the electron, it goes through only one slit or the other creating two lines. When the electron is not observed, the probability wave remains in tact.
Thought I would never see a show on science (especially, quantum theory) where you see the Schrodinger equation (as a complex partial differential equation), along with its Hamiltonian. LOL. Quantum mechanics is beautiful; too mathematical; non-interpretative; silly; and amazing-all at one time. Every time I use it in chemical dynamics, molecular physics, and atomic physic, it is right. However, it is so abstract, in reality, most scientist don't ponder on it, just calculate...
@1czelaya I am glad that the producers of this PBS documentary are FINALLY showing some equations. As I am watched this I said "it's about TIME!" I was getting sick and tired of all these PBS docs previous to this one avoid showing any EQNs and only using interpreted emotional reactions and infamous quotes to describe the concepts. The several PBS docs previous to this one were too mamby-pamby in dealing with the concepts of Q.M. This is a documentary produced in the right direction.
@DancingSpiderman I completely agree. The media, in general, tends to simplify & water down science. It's important to realize these subject matters are not ad hoc but have a central physical description that is mathematical. Most importantly is the interplay between experimental and the evolving of equations. Personally, what got me interested in science was seeing difficult math like triple trigonometric integrals in science books, as a young boy, and wondering what it meant.
@1czelaya I remember having a difficult time in differential calculus in college. I could not understand the concepts of the differential operators Curl & Divergence. I wracked my brain. When I finally surrendered, the thought occurred to me: Convert the mathematical concept to a visual movie. Very soon, within a day, I began to "get" all the concepts of Calculus as they were brought up in the lecture, merely by thinking of math in a visual movie, not just a picture.
@DancingSpiderman Mathematical concepts without visual aid, I agree, are a nightmare. I understood calculus to a great degree when I first took the course. However, it wasn't until I took physics, with all of it's visual aids that it finally "locked" into place what derivatives entail. Things get even more abstract when you take more advanced mathematics: complex variables, Lie derivatives, tensors, group theory, many concepts of differential geometry, Fourier analysis,
@DancingSpiderman I nearly lost it with group theory. It's central to my research in solid state physics and chemical physics. However, like you, it wasn't until I finally surrounded to visual aids that the concept of character tables made sense. As far as vector calculus, luckily my physics books(electrodynamics and classical mechanics) had a plethora of pictures to demonstrate those concepts. Mathematics without visual aids is a nightmare. LOL.
I think the Greek gods and goddess of the past were really just humans from the far future who had uncovered all the mysteries of the universe, there was some conflict and they traveled back in time to rule over the people before the idea of Quantum Physics existed. Maybe that's explained how the Egyptians built perfect pyramids without technology of now.
Why is time so important. It seems to me everything in physics can be explained as action vs. reaction. I had a hard time following this, though I don't doubt his genius.
American Public Television rules. FU horizon. mister greene explaining the slit experiment in combination with the excellent cg visuals has helped me understand one of the most important experiments in quantum mechanics for the first time. I love the people responsible for making this documentary. best depiction of science I have seen since cosmos. words just cannot describe what animation easily explains.
@vvysoc designer as in god? the video says that all possibilities get play out but in different universes so Christian idea of god as a being that punishes wrongs and prefers rights must be too close-minded. god, i think is the universe, and we, part of the universe are gods. read the lost symbol by Dan Brown.
Nice post- I missed it on PBS...and their website says that parts 2 and 3 episodes are "not available".
They always say -multiple universes where we exist-they never explain if that's exist..for a while..or in some forever. I wonder-do we die in infinite universes for infinity?

@Dele1219 - Ahhh, what a relief. All this time thought all those voices in my head was attributed to schizophrenia. Wheeee, now I can stop taking my meds.
@Dele1219 "Talks about the brain being an FM receiver."
I pick up text message signals, and sometimes if I focus I send my thoughts to my friends and they reply back as if I just sent a text. I thought it was a coincidence but after counting it happening about 40 times I must say that something is happening. I wonder how to experiment to see if this works because it seems random like I just pick up on a signal sometimes, like I am a moving antenna. It may just be coincidence, who knows.
I knew it must be so ... my neighbor is also functioning in some kind of spooky action - probably he's from a parallel universe and only came here to bother me :o)
but wait we have confirmed that Neutrinos go faster than the speed of light so the french physicist Alan espa's (guessing how to spell his name) theory could still be valid
this Spooky action at a Distance? is really Not an illegal Question" Because we will Someday Figureout how and why this Happens..For Me? I Think its Either of 2 things either Spacetime is an illusion?~or 2 Every Single atom and Electron is Touching or Connected to eachother Even at all at the same Time But this will Be Proven when our eyes Become opened up more and more!! As We Learn ..I Love this Stuff' I Live For this Stuff" I am this Stuff as we all are!! This Stuff, :)
the Fabric of The Cosmos is incredible But this Quantum Stuff Is My Favorite Subject of all" Because it is Quantum Physics that will Show us How To Do Things That Will Change our Planet and Our Lives Dramatically!Think of it Some Day we will Be able To Traverse the Entire Universe instantly!With Entanglement! Just Think of the Things we Could Create!.Nothing in Life Excites me as this Does I Wish So Much! I would have Been Born into a Family that Would of Supported me To Be a Scientist'!!!!
@55painterman Yep, it's fascinating and triggers imagination for sure, however I think we can already traverse the universe(s) by a kind of entanglement, only nobody ever calls it like that. We rather say thinking, imagination, creativity or simply being aware of regions "out there".
It wouldn't amaze me very much to hear some day that scientists believe the brain is a quantum-computer-like structure :o)
But wait, what if the three dimensional universe we live in is a projection of two dimensional objects, i.e. a holographic universe. A holographic universe is not a classical universe since we are all "projections" of some two dimensional reality into higher dimensions (of which the three dimensional universe is one).
How does the holographic universe theory integrate with the multi-verse theory is what I am asking.
Am I to understand that this means that there could be one non-classical universe or a multi-verse of classical universes as the only two possibilities; but then what is a non-classical universe? (a quantum universe?) Obviously we live in a classical universe, at the macro scale.
Then that leaves the multi-verse of classical universes as the only possibility.
Another physicist lecturer mentioned that quantum theory guarantees zero classical universes or multiple classical universes, but rules out the case of exactly one classical universe.

@4micaman Who knows? How many universes do you want to run?
Things I've noticed:
1. Uncertainty principle limits the floating point accuracy required.
2. Interactions don't 'count' unless they affect some other piece of the system. (Called 'lazy evaluation' in programming.)
3. Holographic Principle does away with spatial locality, drastically reducing the number of possible states our Universe can have.
None of this makes sense unless the Universe is trying to minimize resource usage.

I knew it must be so ... my neighbor is also functioning in some kind of spooky action - probably he's from a parallel universe and only came here to bother me :o)

@steintanz Entanglement theory proven, yet again. I'm your neighbor... across the pond.
Today - and today only - I'm offering a 2for1 neighbor exchange program. Trust me, I'd not steer you wrong. *evil grin*

but wait we have confirmed that Neutrinos go faster than the speed of light so the french physicist Alan espa's (guessing how to spell his name) theory could still be valid

this Spooky action at a Distance? is really Not an illegal Question" Because we will Someday Figureout how and why this Happens..For Me? I Think its Either of 2 things either Spacetime is an illusion?~or 2 Every Single atom and Electron is Touching or Connected to eachother Even at all at the same Time But this will Be Proven when our eyes Become opened up more and more!! As We Learn ..I Love this Stuff' I Live For this Stuff" I am this Stuff as we all are!! This Stuff, :)

the Fabric of The Cosmos is incredible But this Quantum Stuff Is My Favorite Subject of all" Because it is Quantum Physics that will Show us How To Do Things That Will Change our Planet and Our Lives Dramatically!Think of it Some Day we will Be able To Traverse the Entire Universe instantly!With Entanglement! Just Think of the Things we Could Create!.Nothing in Life Excites me as this Does I Wish So Much! I would have Been Born into a Family that Would of Supported me To Be a Scientist'!!!!

@55painterman Yep, it's fascinating and triggers imagination for sure, however I think we can already traverse the universe(s) by a kind of entanglement, only nobody ever calls it like that. We rather say thinking, imagination, creativity or simply being aware of regions "out there".
It wouldn't amaze me very much to hear some day that scientists believe the brain is a quantum-computer-like structure :o)

But wait, what if the three dimensional universe we live in is a projection of two dimensional objects, i.e. a holographic universe. A holographic universe is not a classical universe since we are all "projections" of some two dimensional reality into higher dimensions (of which the three dimensional universe is one).
How does the holographic universe theory integrate with the multi-verse theory is what I am asking.
sstl517 3 months ago
Am I to understand that this means that there could be one non-classical universe or a multi-verse of classical universes as the only two possibilities; but then what is a non-classical universe? (a quantum universe?) Obviously we live in a classical universe, at the macro scale.
Then that leaves the multi-verse of classical universes as the only possibility.
sstl517 3 months ago
Another physicist lecturer mentioned that quantum theory guarantees zero classical universes or multiple classical universes, but rules out the case of exactly one classical universe.
