Fun with Light: Strong Photon-Photon Interactions and Meta-Materials

[socratus1]

Quantum of Light and my Parrot # Gentlemen I have only two questions: First - Didn’t my parrot fly to you? Second - Why does everyone say that all movements are relative if the speed of quantum of light isn’t relative but it is an absolute constant in absolute Vacuum ? # You can easily find out my parrot. It studied only two sentences: ‘ there is no absolute movement ’, ‘ there is no absolute reference system ‘ # Israel Sadovnik Socratus

1:21 "novel light nom nom"

lol you can make real lightsaber with photons

[Awykel]

There is an error in his slide on high index of refraction. Water and diamond have the same index of refraction, that is why a real diamond disappears in a glass of water.

[airwlkr3]

The cutting of an isotropic 3 dimensional meta material then proves Heisenberg's Uncertainty theory .

[airwlkr3]

However, we can create predator invisibility cloak by creating meta material of a certain refractive index.

[airwlkr3]

it is also difficult to create a meta material to replace photon because photons when excited travel in the light of speed. The difficulty in creating a meta material is due to difficulty to immitate its speed of light and ability to travel inside mediums in the same way.

[airwlkr3]

if you prepare one Nobel prize for a research, there will be competition. If you want to make a photon sabre, you have to alter the nature of photon or it will not work because photon-photon reaction is hard to create. There is a physical restriction to this possibility

[sadant1]

Interesting but too poor production. It ruined everything :(

[JJusticexp]

I think the speaker has a fundamental misunderstanding of what a photon is. He needs more study of quantum field theiry.

[JJStupidify]

what a photon is?

[maciejwrotek]

@JJStupidify light particle

[MrRuXun]

To JJusticexp: what is quantum field "theiry"? You need more study of English.

[TheRaizen33]

Light can be slowed down by a cloud of gas, like the clouds slow the sunlight from reaching the ground.

[Qulopuaa]

I listened to the whole speech with 1 ear- but was there only 2 people left at the end -just how rude is that -everyone left ,almost

[raininginhell]

Very cool!

[keggerous]

i take that back i put on headphones now this is the shit!!!!! dude lightsabers ftw!!! btw im not talking to u!

[renshen07]

Great video, amazing speaker!

[trifelgeputinage]

Excellent.

[POUNDS239]

great vid..but whats up with the chalkboard at 4:35 ????

[frvfilms]

haaa, tittle didnt fit..
