I prefer the example where I'm a kid and have an infinite number of cookies.

[Giraffinator]

This guys voice is so amazing

[Ryan Wilson]

If you don't understand one of these, don't give up! There are lots of vidoes in this channel, and you're eventually going to 'get' the ideas explained here if you listen carefully to enough of them. It's life enriching knowledge which is well worth taking the time to achieve.

[vladi zar]

havent understood shit.

time to watch a cat video yayyy

[Hùng Võ Huy]

I really like to watch these videos, but I only get a little out of it. Can't seem to understand the whole as obviously English is not my mother language.

[IamPureFire Child]

I've never seen green or violet fire...... ?

[electricguitar146]

This man has the most soothing voice of all time

[ScorpioPony]

I watch all of these... Most of the time I get lost half way through, but I don't care!

[TheFlow596]

mmmmmmmm.... cookies.....

Could Quantum Mechanics represent the physics of ‘time’ as a physical process?

This is based on just two postulates:

1. The quantum w-particle function Ψ or probability function represents the forward passage of time itself with the future coming into existence photon by photon.

2. Is that quantum uncertainty ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w-function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event within our own ref-frame that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!

Okay thanks!

[Lyricon24]

Yes, and the lack of oxygen (partial vacuum) prevents it from lighting ablaze.
