Spooky Actions At A Distance?: Oppenheimer Lecture

[edtronic]

tap that arsh!

[ThermalHD]

Maybe this is why bohr didnt use the word reality much. Here is his quote..

"We are suspended in language in such a way that we cannot say what is up and what is down. The word "reality" is also a word, a word which we must learn to use correctly."

[nolknolk]

the 2-2-2 position gonna mess up all his quantum thinkig...thats why he skip over that....:)

[robkim55]

very good lecture and good explanation

[Thymonico]

There's steam pouring through my ears!

Ugh... *leaves quantum physics and goes back to good old biology*

[merrittolsen]

he doesn't really explain why you can't use the 2-2-2 position...

[sbergman27]

My word! Even by the standards of academia, this "credit accounting" is tedious! Just skip to 09:30 to avoid the verbose introduction of the introducer, and the mostly irrelevant, but more verbose, introduction of the speaker. Just once I'd love to hear "He championed this idea in 1976, which turned out to be incorrect. And then championed that idea in 1985, which also turned out to be incorrect, and then...". ;-)

[skdkskdk]

@sbergman27 Amen!

[sbergman27]

@skdkskdk Oh yeah. I'd forgotten I'd written that. By the time *that* lengthy introduction was over, everyone would have gotten up and left, and the speaker would be addressing an empty house.

[dedalus]

Oh dear. What a painfully clunky way to present this experiment. In 'dumbing it down' for the audience in this manner he made it unnecessarily confusing, drawn-out and dull. Find any presentation of this experiment that isn't afraid to mention photon polarization for a clear, quicker, and more profound experience of quantum entanglement.

[alexxxxxxxx1555]

@dedalus Completely agree.

[twstdelf]

@dedalus have a youtube link for another one?

[trombone7]

Einstein had a chuckle when a student at his lecture suggested 2 twins would be different ages if one spent a period of time travelling near the speed of light. Conversely, Einstein didn't chuckle when his own mathematics were extended to QntPhys and suggested that changing the spin of one electron would change another electron's spin instantly NO MATTER HOW FAR APART THEY ARE and faster than light. He also didn't like the 'statistical' nature of QPhysics. Read uncertain.

[sbergman27]

@trombone7 : Einstein was looking for beauty. But his aesthetic tastes were firmly rooted in the 19th century. No fault of his. We all suffer from that effect. His own Special and General Relativity framework pushed classical theory to its limit. (His sense of beauty was admirably flexible.) QM was a step too far for him. Today we accept it based on evidence. But we're necessarily more jaded than we were a hundred years ago.

[Djangeaux]

So THIS is what happened to Alannis Morrisette...

[woundedwomb]

Einstein never did this!

[DavidAKZ]

He didn't like quantum physics. Called it spooky !

[destinyuraqte]

I wish more people would watch this... is a jewl

[shunyata2]

awesome
