@HateMakingVideos Someone did an experiment on mice. They connected electrodes to a button and connected it to the spot that produced an orgasim in the mice brain. The mice found out that if it pressed the button it got an orgasm. A tray of food was also placed in the cage. Eventually the mice died of starvation. So, if the giraffe could do that themselves do you think there would be any giraffes left in the wild. Lol,
I've watched a bunch of these and they are making me sleepy. Not because they are boring but because my brain is trying to understand things WAY over my head.
Well, regarding the boat and wave, the boat is likely making millions of "waves" each time it dislocates a portion of water, and we perceive these waves together.
Isnt that how lighting is also, hits at one place but could hit any. White particles have been seen radiating from all objects, and the one touches the cloud first is chosen as the path for the lighting.
Particles do travel with a wave-like pattern/motion (like tennis balls!), but it's so small it is only noticeable with very small particles (like electrons.)
@IvanIsAwesome1 That's because animal control took it away. You better hide or they'll find you and make you responsible. If i were you i would be silent and dis-avow anything to do with that giraffe. You never know when you might end up in prison. According to physics there might be a chance that you will end up in prison too.
Can you stop arguing in the comment section please? Nobody wants to read your silly argument when they look down to read other comments that would probably be more interesting. :)
A particle is a wave dummy. A particle is made of waves so you are tricked into thinking that a particle is solid but actually it's made of a bunch of waves that are pretty much trapped together. An untrapped wave travels freely and disperses, however, a trapped wave cannot disperse freely especially a very large trapped wave. A small trapped wave can show that it's a wave when traveling a short distance cause it's so small. But a large trapped wave need mega-distances to reveal it's waviness
@FishBowl911 There may be truth to what you are saying, but you are making the classic mistake of assuming 1 answer to be absolute truth. Different forms of the duality principle works better at different times. Just take the fields of physics contra chemistry. They apparently do not agree on the nature of, say, electrons. But both models work just fine. That is what duality is all about.
@Kabitu1 Again i emphasize the work "tricked". You are tricked into believing duality so the mathematic for particle and wave is different when in fact they are both wrong. We cannot correctly describe matter with this low level stupidity called math. And therefore resort to mathematical trickery to get as close as we can to merely describe how matter does it's things. Math is NOT the answer. Math only describes the geometry of matter but it does not describe matter.
@FishBowl911 Do you have a suggestion for an alternate way of thinking, that does not involve numbers? Because it seems to me that most of all science would have to be abandoned if we reject mathematically defined laws.
@Kabitu1 Numbers =Quantity =Exactness =our brain. Matter =wavy =weird. Try thinking of the number 1 as .9 to 1.1. Now add "1" + "1" = "1.8,1.85,1.95,2,2.1...etc". Obviously doesn't work. Our brains view the universe not the right way so we don't actually see what is really out there because we interpret everything according to our inteligence level. I too don't know how to handle waviness of matter into the right way. Matter is just weird. 1+1=2.2? Math doesn't work.
yes... if you define 1 as something that is not 1... math breaks down.
I dont know what to say. You broke math. Congrats.
We are reducing our observation of the physical world to discrete rules to describe them accurately. Math is an abstraction. Its validity is inherent in its very definitions.
@Kabitu1 Did you know an electron has no mass? QED defines an electron as a knot in the electromagnetic field traveling at the speed of light which means it's got to be massless otherwise it would violate the laws of conservation. This also means it has no comparative physical structure to what our eyes can see. It is an imagination. Who would ever believe that the most important thing in the 20th century is an imagination. Imagination =nothing. Now try to calculate nothing.
@FishBowl911 So you are saying that any and all attempts to describe subatomic particles are in vein, math is bullsh*t per definition, and our limited experience of the world should lead us to simply give up and accept that we can not know anything?
I think you have misunderstood a few key principles of science.
And, when you are trying to get a point trough, quit the =´s. They´re just confusing and misleading.
@Kabitu1 Try thinking of the brain of a cow. A cow can only understand a few things such as eating grass. Now, try explaining math to a cow. Humans are no different. There are things that we cannot understand because we are limited by our intelligence/stupidity. No matter how hard the universe tries to stuff the truth about what matter really is into our brain...we like the cow simply don't get it even if it is explained right in front of us. The universe already spit at our math.
@FishBowl911 Electrons don't have mass? That's interesting, especially since wikipedia says the mass of an electron is 9.109E-31 kg. You might want to update wikipedia, and I would recommend citing your source. And which of conservation laws does an electron with mass violate? Finally, what do you mean by "It is an imagination"?
@Ripley747 You're another one of those humans aren't you? Mass = matter. Nobody knows where mass comes from or what it really is. The fact that some smart ass says that an electron has mass doesn't mean that he knows what he's talking about. If you take a look at Feynmans calculations regarding quantum electrodynamics you'll see that mass is really an illusion.
@FishBowl911 I'm not sure what me being human has to do with anything- And I would assume it would be a given since not many species can type. It's my understanding that mass = energy, not matter (matter has energy in it) which explains why a carbon atom weighs less than the sum of it's parts. I recognize we don't fully understand the concept of mass but we know what it does (resists movement and attracts objects gravitationally). And most physicists I know also say an e- has mass.
@Ripley747 Talking to a human is truly mind boggling. You're as dumb as a doorknob ! Using your simpple "math" you are able to calculate the trajectory of say a "soccer ball" thrown into the air. Looking at the math I absolutely see nothing describing the soccer ball. So what is the soccer ball? For example...can you calculate the soccer ball. Assume a Soccer ball = electron = matter, AND it is wavy. My question to you is...What is the soccer ball?
@FishBowl911 Ok, now you've just confirmed you're talking out of your @ss. You aren't talking science, you're talking philosophy. You're hoping to handwave instead of explaining, never quite giving enough evidence to actually make your case and throwing out insults enough to distract. Let's face it, electrons do have mass. If it didn't, you would explain in detail using science, not philosophy.
@FishBowl911 Instead, you try to sound all Aristotle and say, "Yeah, well we can calculate the path of a ball, but not the ball itself." I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you know nothing of QED. I suspect you're some teenage (or pre-teenage) kid wanting to look more educated than you really are. That's my guess. Take a course on QM or two in college and you're realize why the things you're saying don't make sense...and you'll probably stop calling people "dumb as a doorknob."
@Ripley747 I see stupidity reigns supreme in your mind. Using your little math games physicists have tried to represent a simple electron with equations that spew several pages long ! And still the wrong answer every time. First they say an electron is definitely a ball, then a probability cloud then a wave packet then now they dont really know. Thats because its something beyond our scope of understanding. So take your math home and sleep on it.
@FishBowl911 In case you don’t follow the contradictions. You used Feynmann’s equations (math) to determine that electrons have no mass, then you say math can’t be reliably used. Then you say electrons are complicated and somehow equate them to a soccer ball. You also say mass is an illusion, then say electrons don't have this illusion. Then you spew a bunch of philosophical nonsense and have the guts to call me stupid. Trolling at it’s finest. My hat’s off to you, sir. You win. I withdraw.
@Ripley747 I assume that you now realize matter has no physical nor geometrical structure to which you and i can correlate with any kind of math. Neither the shape of a ball nor an abstract idea such as a probability cloud nor a wave like structure nor a particle, all of which we are familiar with can truly identify itself as matter. Thus the limits of math has been exceeded in attempting to use it to describe matter.
@FishBowl911 I came across your conversation and I couldnt help my self... TWICE you've stated that it is not possible to mathematically describe the shape of a ball. Then further you are stating that math is not the answar !? - let me explain one simple basic of math ... You dont think of it as an answar, but a way to descibe things such as a freaking BALL !
@FishBowl911 We all know that the nature of things becomes more complex when you are dealing sizes close to infinity or the opisite, thats the essense of these videos, but math is still a powerfull tool. And only someone who doensnt master it would state otherwise... you sir, dont seem to master 1. grade ...
@MrLudoChris Another human who wants to get smart. Okay, you say math can describe ? Then tell me what matter is. I've seen the equation of a sphere and matter is not that equation! I've also seen the statistical quantum mechanical wave equation that some say matter is a statistical thing and thats not it either. A vector field? No! Wrong! Like i said, math is limited. It can only describe geometric and a few abstract shapes. Matter is not any of these = math cannot describe matter.
@FishBowl911 Oh please explain; in what sense is it true that math cannot describe matter? You state it as a fact seduced by the observation that matter "isn't this, or that". I'm sorry, but that's not how we describe things and you are simply much too gullible if that's what you're expecting. Through the use of math we can illustrate the various known properties that comes along with different matter and relate it. That is definitively describing matter through math.
@Ryoroyzu Really? So if i relate how fast i can swing my arm into your face to the amount of pain you will feel using a number between 1 thru 10 that would describe the human body? Don't be ridiculous. Sorry to sound brutal but you humans just dont get the point. It should be understood that your math is inadequate at describing matter. I had been given the hint that a better system than absolute quantity is needed to describe matter.
@FishBowl911 You're absolutely right, that is ridiculous. It is also nothing like what i just argued. You simply bolster around your poorly understood concept of what a description is, and then continuously put forward simplifications neither necessary nor true. As for an example; no humans are not a cell. That is just a simple, brutal untruth. A cell is not the smallest building block of a human. And nor is it a way of describing.
@Ryoroyzu You are steadily confusing descriptions by reductionism.
It is not a requirement of a description to be the smaller entity of that quantity. You cannot say that a human is a atom, even though humans entirely are composed of atoms. Though, you could describe a human being in terms of atoms and other fundamental properties such as distance, orientation etc., all of which math is a universal tool to describe.
@Ryoroyzu If you agree with me then what is your point? Can math describe matter or not? Did you know an electron does not need energy to jump to the next electron orbital contrary to most peoples belief ? That is like saying I can walk through a wall without climbing over or going around it. And this is absolutely true. Electrons need no energy. Now try doing your math on that !
@FishBowl911 You just admitted to not have the faintest clue about this subject what so ever. Thanks for participating, but you flat out do not understand my objection to your claims.
@Ryoroyzu When will you learn math is too basic a tool to describe matter. It describes almost one dimensional things but matter is much too complex. Your cow-like brain will not be able to grasp it all. I've seen too many equations and attempts by foolish humans who want to know more than they can handle. Until you come out with a poly-system based on reality there is no way you can calculate matter. Your feeble attempt is novice at best.
@FishBowl911 Oh sweet Jesus. This is why some physicists make me rage so hard. They believe math is retarded and has nothing to do with the universe. I can only respect someone who respects not only science, but math as well.
@piexiv I would agree with you if someone has found a mathematical structure/equation that can identify itself as matter. For example, a changing vector field can identify itself as an electromagnetic wave. Math actually was able to sucinctly describe what most people call electricity so that's very good so far. But, there is no mathematical structure such as a vector field that would identify itself as matter. A probability cloud worked for a while but there are too many open ends.
@Ryoroyzu I suppose the question arises as to when matter ceases to exist as matter. Assume a cell is the smallest building block of a human. Assume a atom is the smallest building block of poly-materials. But certainly a human is not a cell and poly-materials is certainly not an atom. Thus, matter cannot be described by a single or singularity concept but a poly-concept. Does this make sense to you now?
@Ryoroyzu Math is a sigularity concept. It states rigidly that 1+1=2 ... when in fact the universe has shown us that 1+1 = 2.2 or 2.5 or 1.9 ...etc...etc...
@Ripley747 Now in case you still dont understand. Think of language. Lets say you want to describe pain using this primitive communication system called language. You can try until your grandma rolls over in her grave, you will never quite succeed especially if the other person has no concept of the pain your talking about. Do you really think any language can satisfactorily describe a feeling? Thus the limits of language has been exceeded in its attempt to describe feelings.
@FishBowl911 Look. I told you. You win. I now realize that porcupines are totally inadequate at washing my car and I'll never be able to use the emotion of sadness to rationalize vectors of space-time on Mars. I get it. Good day and good bye.
@Ripley747 Dont be mad cause youre wrong. Be happy cause you learned a new thing. I see this as the first step in the right direction. Goodluck in your quest to find out what matter is. If you find it please let us all know what it is so that we too can be masters of the universe.
@rspoke taking our human body for instance. This duality can only be observed when we are passed through a slit that is approximately our wavelength, which can be calculated by De Broglie's equation. If not, we're still seen as particles all the time. (our wavelength in this case is very very small)
@rspoke Actually we do, all particles actually follow this duality. Using the double slit test, they have confirmed every atom exhibits duality to some degree. Light is just more noticeable because it has the ability to pass through clear objects easier.
do you have any idea of how much you helped me in my chemistry curse? dude, i totally understood both videos, you explain it waaaay better than my professor :D thank you so much!
@lambobrian But what if the giraffe did NOT give birth, and therefore there are two realities both with an equal chance of happening. Though only one reality is possible once observed, so the correct answer is both is happening at the same time, but one outcome is chosen as you observe it. And if you left your pregnant giraffe there this means that you left two giraffes there because a second giraffe is within the first giraffe.
@ElectricSparq or he can't because it's not something you can graphically depict on a two or even three dimensional surface because it's so far out of the realm of our everyday meso-scale lives that we wouldn't understand it even if it could be drawn?
Please post your drawing of a wave-particle. You've thrown down the gauntlet; can you back it up, or are you just as pretentious but with less talent?
it's a quantum world. Everything vibrates and never completely stops moving. :) thanks for these videos minutephysics they really are very informative! SUBSCRIBED!
duh...... what if the giraffe was hijacked. I don't now how I would sue for that and what would he be convicted of. One count of GTG (grand theft giraffe)?

@Ryoroyzu You are steadily confusing descriptions by reductionism.
It is not a requirement of a description to be the smaller entity of that quantity. You cannot say that a human is a atom, even though humans entirely are composed of atoms. Though, you could describe a human being in terms of atoms and other fundamental properties such as distance, orientation etc., all of which math is a universal tool to describe.

@Ryoroyzu If you agree with me then what is your point? Can math describe matter or not? Did you know an electron does not need energy to jump to the next electron orbital contrary to most peoples belief ? That is like saying I can walk through a wall without climbing over or going around it. And this is absolutely true. Electrons need no energy. Now try doing your math on that !

@Ryoroyzu When will you learn math is too basic a tool to describe matter. It describes almost one dimensional things but matter is much too complex. Your cow-like brain will not be able to grasp it all. I've seen too many equations and attempts by foolish humans who want to know more than they can handle. Until you come out with a poly-system based on reality there is no way you can calculate matter. Your feeble attempt is novice at best.

@FishBowl911 Oh sweet Jesus. This is why some physicists make me rage so hard. They believe math is retarded and has nothing to do with the universe. I can only respect someone who respects not only science, but math as well.

@piexiv I would agree with you if someone has found a mathematical structure/equation that can identify itself as matter. For example, a changing vector field can identify itself as an electromagnetic wave. Math actually was able to sucinctly describe what most people call electricity so that's very good so far. But, there is no mathematical structure such as a vector field that would identify itself as matter. A probability cloud worked for a while but there are too many open ends.
FishBowl911 1 month ago
@Ryoroyzu I suppose the question arises as to when matter ceases to exist as matter. Assume a cell is the smallest building block of a human. Assume a atom is the smallest building block of poly-materials. But certainly a human is not a cell and poly-materials is certainly not an atom. Thus, matter cannot be described by a single or singularity concept but a poly-concept. Does this make sense to you now?
FishBowl911 1 month ago
@Ryoroyzu Math is a sigularity concept. It states rigidly that 1+1=2 ... when in fact the universe has shown us that 1+1 = 2.2 or 2.5 or 1.9 ...etc...etc...

@Ripley747 Now in case you still dont understand. Think of language. Lets say you want to describe pain using this primitive communication system called language. You can try until your grandma rolls over in her grave, you will never quite succeed especially if the other person has no concept of the pain your talking about. Do you really think any language can satisfactorily describe a feeling? Thus the limits of language has been exceeded in its attempt to describe feelings.

@Ripley747 Dont be mad cause youre wrong. Be happy cause you learned a new thing. I see this as the first step in the right direction. Goodluck in your quest to find out what matter is. If you find it please let us all know what it is so that we too can be masters of the universe.

@rspoke taking our human body for instance. This duality can only be observed when we are passed through a slit that is approximately our wavelength, which can be calculated by De Broglie's equation. If not, we're still seen as particles all the time. (our wavelength in this case is very very small)
lantis123 4 months ago
@rspoke Actually we do, all particles actually follow this duality. Using the double slit test, they have confirmed every atom exhibits duality to some degree. Light is just more noticeable because it has the ability to pass through clear objects easier.

lambobrian 4 months ago
@lambobrian But what if the giraffe did NOT give birth, and therefore there are two realities both with an equal chance of happening. Though only one reality is possible once observed, so the correct answer is both is happening at the same time, but one outcome is chosen as you observe it. And if you left your pregnant giraffe there this means that you left two giraffes there because a second giraffe is within the first giraffe.
