Hello mate, if you want, check-out my channel...:)

@FelipeZucchetti check-out should not be hyphenated.

Interesting video!

In my video The Paradox of Schrodingers Cat an artist view Time has symmetry and geometry could this explaining the paradoxes of Quantum Physics? Could time form continuously by the emission and absorption of light or EMR from one atom to another continuously forming the broken symmetry of spacetime.

[ArjenDijksman]

You're right. In fact, I inserted it to show that you could insert any constant at both sides and the equation is still valid. hbar is a constant that translates angular frequencies into energies, in our unit system.

[xniquilador]

Thanks Arjen; I think Dirac was of the most exceptional visionaries in 'the field'.

[MegaPhysicist]

hbar x omega is a number H is an operator. And your arrow notation is nothing new, the kets belong to a Hilbert Space.

[ArjenDijksman]

True. An operator operating on a ket just gives a number times that ket, a number given the measure of the motion/energy of the object represented by the ket.

[EMOjamesy23]

@ArjenDijksman

more specifically a linear operator acting on a ket vector gives a number times that ket, operators are not alway linear

[ArjenDijksman]

@EMOjamesy23 That's true, the linear operator is a specific case of the quantum operator.

I love physics when I was in HS

[henrikhhhhh]

this is pretty classical stuff, but with ket notation, so its not really quantum mechanical.

Rotating vectors is not the difficult part of QM.

[ArjenDijksman]

Classically a rotating arrow would be described by moment of inertia (integral over all point masses * square distance from axis) + angular velocity, never with a ket vector. Quantum mechanics don't go in the details of definite locations but considers the arrow as a whole and represents it as a vector. You get simpler basics with Quantum Mechanics but complex computations due to the probability distributions of all those spinning arrows interacting with each other.

[vjpillay]

It is essential for mathematicians or physicists to explain their difficult theories in simple terms so that ordinary motals can appreciate their work and motivate young to do science as well.

Exp i pi + 1 = 0 by Euler is the spelling of G

[LordOmberus]

...Your goal is to present a common-sense representation of Quantum Physics...

Ok...

In that case, mine is to scale Mount Everest with my chin, strapped to a very upset Narwhal.

Let's see who manages to succeed first.

[ArjenDijksman]

Thanks for commenting. Please keep me informed...

[test123ok]

keep up the good work. you are a good teacher.

[ArjenDijksman]

Thanks. In fact, I have no experience in teaching and it's not natural for me. It would be nice if some professional teachers would teach quantum mechanics using ordinary objects.

[Subspace4d]

Very nice work. Keep it up. 5 stars 4 u

Are you able to explain superposition? I am writing a book called "Beyond Einstein", I'm needing a simple explanation of superposition - can you help? I'll send you a copy of my book so far (only 1/10th of the way through)

[ArjenDijksman]

I'll try to explain my vision on superposition in a future sequence. In QM, superposition refers to states, or state vectors, or kets, or arrows. These arrows may be added according to the rules I explained in this sequence 2. As long as we have not detected the arrowlike-object (performed the measurement), we may describe the state of the arrow by the sum of all plausible arrows, hence a superposition of states.

I'm interested in your book.

[roblowe777]

Really like what you are doing, keep it up. I think that quantum physics should be compulsary for all, we'd get to the bottom of the universes secrets sooner.
