Philosophy of Quantum Physics No BS | pt 2 EPR

A serious philosophical discussion about Quantum Mechanics.

Part 2 - the EPR Paper, wherein we see the argument for hidden variables given as given by einstien and co. Basically the question is: all this freaky deaky stuff that's going on in QM, is that stuff actually happening in reality, or is reality as we always thought it was and QM just can't account for some aspects of it? EPR are saying that reality is just as we thought it was, and QM is just incomplete.

***Read the paper yourself, it's only a few pages long and most of it is quite readable, skip the maths if you need, it will still make sense:

The error is obvious - there are no discrete 'particles'. Matter has a spherical in out wave structure - the wave center is what we observe as the particle. From this you deduce the de Broglie phase wave and relativistic mass increase due to Doppler shifts of the in and out waves with relative motion.

The de Broglie phase wave is non-local - this explains EPR.

@physics1philosophy I'm familiar with the concept. It seems plausible but I can't see how it is anything other than psuedo-science. can you point me towards any experiments presented in any peer reviewed journal which verify any of the claims made by this theory?

[denito9474]

@physics1philosophy cool dude, is it science? has, or can it be tested?

[denito9474]

yeah, good call. But maybe that's what we should expect. the universe is vast and can be percieved on many levels. The physics of really small scale events, to which quantum mechanics mostly speaks, doesn't match with our experience of reality. for example, to us solid objects are solid and impenetrable, but on the atomic and sub-atomic level they reveal themselves to be mostly empty space. So then what is truth? phenomenological experience or theoretical models with supporting evidence?

After reading some scientific ideas:

The more I study the more I know

The more I know the more ideas I have

The more ideas I have the more they abstract

The more they abstract the less I know the truth

And therefore conclusion from some article

" One of the best kept secrets of science is

that physicists have lost their grip on reality "

woops, typed my reply in the wrong box. see below.

cant find next chapters! did u stop making these videos man?

The Kings of physics wear invisible new quantum clothes . They are so proud! All the poor peasants are laughing and pointing.

All space has infinite potential.

A & B co-exist and can not be separated.

Electromagnetism can not be isolated with magnets.

@Dustencumbie what's "hippy dippy consciousness QM" got to do with the unified field theory?? Quantumconciousness is pseudo science, the unified field theory (if it ever gets made) is real science...

The question of spin-up and spin-down atoms is unresolved: My physicist gut feeling is that there should be an equal amount (because where would the extra spin come from?) But that should apply to matter and antimatter as well, which is apparently does not. So the answer is: Don't know.

[f43d348k]

@physics1philosophy the wave description of particles doesn't get you past the problem: The wavefunctions can be nonoverlapping (and the EPR experiment, or its equivalent still works the same way), and what's more, the effect that B is having on A is "instantanious" (ie. outside the lightcone) so explaining away nonlocality by some sort of physical effect going from B to A, you have to have a superluminal effect - which is even worse than non-locality :)

[PineAppleEx420]

at the end were u talking about how the assumption of locality is incorrect? if so please post link to the video where u explain that.

[elarrebat]

THIS IS QUITE AN INTERESTING AND WELL DOCUMENTED VIDEO, BUT WHERE IS PART 3??

[Dustencumbie]

great vid man. i still like the hippy dippy consciousness part of quantum physics though,just because i want to believe the unified field theory. i have a question though... does the conservation of spin mean there is an equal amount of downward spinning atoms, and upward spinning atoms in the universe?

[MillyVanillification]

Maybe reality can't be explained by applying book-keeping methods?

@denito9474 Ignore physics1philosophy, please keep on making this video series. It's beautifully well done.
