With a 10-minute time limit, Professor Moriarty from our sister Sixty Symbols project has a crack at explaining one of physics mind-bending concepts - wave function.

Our main wave function video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRRnMS1sm6Y

  • No. No sequels. Truncating the video as it fails to reach a neat coherence embodies the concept quite well.

  • @opiumgland I agree! And as I made it, my decision is final! :)

  • I'd love to watch a good 1hr+ lecture on this subject from Professor Moriarty. Trying to compress the concepts of a subject like quantum mechanics into 10 minutes is just silly.

  • @DanMan7997: I'm sure he'd love you to enroll at the University of Nottingham!

    And as silly as it is, we won't let YouTube's 10-minute limit stop us from trying! :)

  • I hope you get another video out of this, it seemed like what he was going to explain next was really interesting.

  • *you've got 20 seconds to explain quantum entanglement*

    *gives up* hahahaha

  • lol

  • Entanglement is the best part! 

  • So what's this 'partnered'? Does this mean you need to bribe Google to get access?

  • @rogerdotlee You need to be partnered to have unlimited upload times.

  • Prof. Moriarty definitely needs to make a video on entanglement. Please Brady!!!!!

  • 10 minute limit? There are a couple of videos that I took a look at this morning that were both significantly longer than 10 minutes -- Dr. Randy Pausch's Last Lecture being the first that springs to mind. I'd say that he was grandfathered in, but another I saw was just over an hour, and that was uploaded a couple of days ago.

  • As someone who works in IT I can understand why it is not always easy to explain things in simple terms.

    Take the question "will my car running out of fuel tomorrow?" - to answer the question accurately would involve a probability rather than a definite answer.

    You may have to unexpectedly travel a great distance, your fuel tank may spring a leak etc...

    Science does not need dumbing down - people just need to become smarter!

  • "If you cannot explain it simply, you don't understand it"-Albert Einstein

    ":There's a difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something"-Richard Feynman

    Mathematicians need to stop using mechanical viewpoints and start studying fluid mechanics and acoustical mechanics

    sad world we live in that these people are the so called bright minds :(

  • excuse the OT... gretsch white falcon in the background? ^_^ or maybe something similar...
