A Serious Man (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Scene)

[chaiwenjian]

Imagine if this comes out as a question in your test.

[JunChenIsSuperAwsome]

i know we cant ever really know whats going on, now give me the passing grade

[alexmcas48]

Very disconcerting.

[Tigerlily21]

I hated physics.

[wheatonna]

One of the very best films of recent years, and my favorite of all the Coen brothers' movies. If you didn't see it, do. Here's what it's about: "We never really know what's going on."

[Heissenburger]

the student's don't care what's really going on anyways

[buddacafe]

Change the title to "how to win in Battlefield 3".

[GroovyColouredLove]

so you know how to make the blue stuff?

[Kaine852]

He could divide by zero without exploding.

[elshaketz]

...and therefore, your argument is fucked.

[BrinsonMHarris]

Accept the mystery.

[DrFruedienslip]

We actually can know whats going on when we get into any and all consistencies within any and all cause and effects; Its not what but more how not why anything happens,any question can be what is any unilateral goal or are we simply being conditioned within any perpetual economic despotism? I dont know Im just the only person who knows what the code for any construal means for this world. There truly wouldnt be any concern if we as humans were a part of any foodchain and didnt use technology.

[DrBadass9696]

@DrFruedienslip I think that part at 00:40 might explain otherwise actually

[DrFruedienslip]

@DrBadass9696 But we can know whats going within the only metaphysical plane which is all too much going on all at once, within any perpetual moment, thats why this subject is so controversial and such a mind boggling experience within anyones concept for reality, my previous statement stands pat, because its accurate though one cannot know it all all at once; There is no full accounting for everything taking place only what is selected within any and all memorialization. What truly matters?

[cthatshit]

such a sad movie :/

[DiabloMercy]

right.........................­

[ufanisoneetze]

it's funny on so many ways

[chucknorris687]

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle isn't used in STAT's class Right?

[ManBearPig259]

@chucknorris687 LOL NO

[LeAncienAstronaute]

bery dippicult, bery dippicult

[alvaro2416]

Is this from an actual movie? if it is... then what is the name of the movie cuz i want to see it!!

[EvilocityZ]

@alvaro2416 The film's called "A Serious Man", another fab effort by the Coen Brothers.

[masluxx]

square root of zero ? ah ok

[cthatshit]

@masluxx its square root of 0.077a^2-0

[masluxx]

@cthatshit at the start :01... on the board was the square root of ( lamda^2 - Lamda^2)...it is an identity princaple that anything minus it's self is 0, no? which goes back to the square root of zero? .....ah ok....then he write the anser to that as 0.077a^2-0

[cthatshit]

@masluxx ah i see, yea he had it wrong there

[Kattemageren]

@masluxx Actually he also got it wrong in his calculation of the standard deviation of p

When calculating these kind of uncertainty it should have been delta_p=sqrt(〈p^2〉-〈p〉^2), just as SterlingSilverArcher pointed out

[billabam]

Why are we blasting the mathematics in this movie? Because that's what it is..

[SterlingSilverArcher]

he totally messed up with the momentum equation. the first bracketed p under the square root is supposed to have the square inside the brackets. what a noob

[Kattemageren]

@SterlingSilverArcher Exactly ! Actually he did the same mistake with x in the beginning

[cladny]

Bracket P squared minus bracket P, squared.... lol

btw  = 0?

[Caleb1304]

@cladny This shows you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

[Kattemageren]

@Caleb1304 He is actually right you know. The dude in the movie clearly have no idea what he is talking about. It should have been delta_p=sqrt(〈p^2〉-〈p〉^2)

[DanFrederiksen]

the math on the board is actually wrong.

if any of you think quantum mechanics is hopelessly impossible for you to even begin to understand that's not the case. a clip like this is deceptive to make a bad point.

roughly speaking quantum mechanics is no harder than understanding a ripple on water. you can start with videos on the 'double slit experiment'. and no you dumb jocks that's not about two girls :)

then Feynman's 4 new zealand lectures. google it. it's not impossible.

[myrtlebox]

Why did you flunk me? It's just that I couldn't really prove what was going on.

[Poneglyph]

"but the square unexpected the school in it"

"Which also includes spirit of the age of red square which let's us know acts don't think"

"he people the square is of black votes absent and square"

"and Juan Ponce lower a ok"

LMFAO youtube Closed Caption are the most hilarious.

[grands1am]

@Poneglyph

Yes, they're funny, but just as often profound

[chonsohp]

@timba He has same mistake with the average of x.

[Dracanic]

damn it my cat just died.... Do not try this experiment at home.

[blackyblackblack505]

Math works great!.. In an ideal world with solid info. and perfect patterns. Simply put, no one will ask why Jamie wants to buy 30 watermelons in a word problem. Why? Because in the real world, no one knows the answer.

[nickharvey7]

Neat video! I am an artist on YouTube trying to promote my theory on the dynamics of light and time

This theory is based on just two simple postulates

1. The first is that the quantum wave particle function explained by Schrödinger’s wave equation represents the forward passage of time itself

2. The second is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event

[TheFallenRedemption]

its all bullshit you can its called believing in something and thinking of something that proves its real

i think therefore i am not i think therefor im not sure of shit

[benjidrake]

Anybody care to translate the Hebrew word that gets revealed bottom screen left at :30? First letter is aleph? I think?

[Meirstein]

@benjidrake It might not be a real word. In math, Hebrew letters often stand for things much like Greek letters do.

[benjidrake]

@Meirstein Math? Damn! I was hoping Kabbalah.

[t1mTV]

this movie was great. cant complain about a movie where nothing but bad stuff happens to a jew.

[dROUFrank]

@t1mTV Quit going onto videos pertaining to scenes from this film and saying how great it is because bad things happen to a Jewish guy in it, you antisemitic troll twit. Nobody cares about your peurile misanthropic perspective but you.

[t1mTV]

@dROUFrank u mad jew?

[dROUFrank]

@t1mTV Primarily I'm amazed that it's possible for some people to actually live in the world while thinking it's reasonable to go around blithely speaking ill of large groups of people.

And seriously, "Jew" as a comeback? I mean, I understand you thinking of it as such, but I'm not sure you've thought this rhetorical strategy through.

[t1mTV]

@dROUFrank yeah, u mad.

[Wittgensteinism]

the video cuts out the best part of this scene, where he says "But that doesn't mean you aren't responsible for knowing it on the exam" or something to that effect

[jobha1]

Hahaha. YOU NERDS.

[ReverendDiabetes]

i know it's a dream sequence but how the hell did he reach up there?

[jamescfc1]

I love this scene. The silence after he's finished if deafening.

[Morhek]

My cat is simultaneously dead and alive. Is this normal? Y/N

[EvilocityZ]

@Morhek I am uncertain

[SavedByGraceAdam]

@EvilocityZ How are we to know what is going on with his cat?

[willdman123]

@Morhek Schroedinger's cat

[Zee96969696]

@Morhek the physicists just made all this stuff up couse frankly pfysics is BORING, so they make up all this shit

[Morhek]

@Zee96969696 I' sure it's a lot more complicated than-

*QUANTUM PHYSICS*

Yeah, okay, I'll give you that...

[Zee96969696]

@Morhek i don't understand what you said in your coment

[Morhek]

@Zee96969696 It was a physics joke, making fun of the fact that nobody understands how quantum physics works, even quantum physicists.

[wesgriff1]

Accept the mystery.

[JedlickaMartin]

- кто-нибудь сотрите с доски

[plasticbarf]

@JedlickaMartin хорошее

[fingerme100]

I went to that school my first two years of college. Normandale College in Bloomington, Minnesota

[bigearedbunny]

Would you smartasses please keep your smartass comments to yourself? This is where us morons come to feel smart.

[DattebayoAMVs]

@bigearedbunny what cause you can't understand them? well my friend, try hard in class - right?

[vrode]

я не параноик!

[EvilocityZ]

yeah, but it's corrected on the next cut to the board, curiously.

it's as if you can't be certain you even saw it ;)

[timtba]

Anybody spot the mistake in that?

[butters226]

@timtba how it shouldbe sq root of zero

[timtba]

@butters226 Yeah. It's (p)^2 - (p)^2 which makes zero. It should be (p^2) - (p)^2 which doesn't. The brackets mean "the average of..."

[pleasedontask]

@timtba aww give the guy a break, he's an actor not a physics teacher

[h0wud0in2]

@timtba thank you! I thought I was the only one who noticed
