If you think you understand this video, you probably don't. Another adventure into the world of quantum mechanics with three professors of physics and astronomy.

Another explanation from Professor Moriarty can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afgc3SeZnV8

  • Sounds to me like Schrodinger did the first "double slit" experiment ;) I-Thankyou

  • I guess particles are kind of like Schrodinger. They like doing two things at once. ZING

  • Stop wasting time talking about how quantum mechanics is so hard to understand and try explaining some of it.

  • What's the probability that the Stern-Gerlach-Versuch is just one possibility - and that not only discrete but also a fuzzy result can be the outcome if the "resolution" of the experimental setup gets changed (finer or more coarse)? What's the probability that both outcomes - discrete and fuzzy - are the whole truth?

  • is the collapse of the wave function evidence that our universe is a simulation being generated by another, higher-level universe?

  • @ryanspaceevans You're right. Sorry

  • @BinaryStars100

    I believe you meant to direct your reply to PainSurgeon

  • @ryanspaceevans DeBroglie's formula implies that large scale objects have a wavelength that is so small it cannot be measured, so it cannot be confirmed. Wavefunctions, Debroglie's wavelength and space-time are the same phenomena. I know this because, I successfully isolated the most general form of a wave function within the motion of binary stars. It's in an open access peer-reviewed publication and was presented at the Sofia Technical University. I know what wave functions are.

  • @BinaryStars100 what about the de Broglie formula?

  • Schrodinger believed wave functions were real not just some mathematical abstract structure for statistical analysis of events. In fact, most classical physicist do not believe the interpretation presented in this video. Physics is not scale dependent, quantum physicist have failed to apply their interpretation to large scale structures because it is wrong. I can prove it.

  • i love this series! They explain things in a way that can be understood as well as making it interesting by sharing their excitement for science :)
