Philosophy of Quantum Physics, No BS | 1. Stern-Gerlach Exp.

A serious philosophical discussion about quantum physics without the new age crap.

Part 1 - The Stern-Gerlach Experiment, wherein we introduce the series and get an idea as to why classical mechanics is out the window.

The book I'm using is R.I.G. Hughes, 'The Structure and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics'

did you ever stop to think calling it bullshit newage hippie dippie whatever, is due to the fact that you might fear the idea. try acid or dmt and you may start to realise that it comes down to feeling and emotion not some science experiment. take from this what you will if you can. please remember words and language are simply symbology which is a form of brainwashing. love and peace to all

@rondowgs Yes, I have stopped to consider that it might be due to fear. And it turned out that its not due to fear. I am OK with most of the concepts often involved, but quantum mechanics is misrepresented and used as a tool to convince people of something, and it has nothing to do with QM. Also, acid trip or no, QM does have to do with science experiments, to deny that suggests that you are the one who is controlled by fear. fear of science. which is probably the result of a misunderstanding.

why does a bunch of crap appear on the screen from 2:25 to 3:16?

Finally, a method to duplicate silver! Watch the stock prices dropping...

Regardless of any partisan spin, here's what Erwin Schrödinger had to say about our relationship to an objective reality.

"What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space."

The implication here seems obvious to me.. material bodies and forces (inclusive of the phenomena observed during an experiment or any form of lived experience) are a departure from something more fundamental than we can ever know. That's enough, for me.

what i don't get about this demonstration is why SHOULDN'T the atoms split in 2 beams the second time around as they did the first time. same set up, same magnets, same projection of a single beam. so why shouldn't the atoms split in to 2 beams again? the same way flowing water splits in to 2 streams if offered 2 directions in which to go, & then each of these streams of water splitting yet again in t0 2 streams. wouldn't it be more weird if the atoms DIDN'T split in to 2 beams the second time?

rubbish

Interesting video!

This is an invitation to everyone or anyone to see an artist theory on the physics of light and time!

This theory is based on two postulates

1. Is that the quantum wave particle function Ψ represents the forward passage of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π itself

2. Is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the w- function is the same uncertainty we have with any future event that we can interact with turning the possible into the actual!

pretty cool....any more suggestions?

@rondowgs I Myself As A Experimental Entheogen User, I Believe That There Is Strong Scientific Research Which Suggests There Is A Human Spirit, But I Can Quite Clearly Say That This New Age Bullcrap Fad Is One Of The Most Stupid Scams I Have Ever Heard Of, And Is Completely Irrelevant, I Have Had Severe Hallucinations To The Extent Where I Had Believed That My Spirit Had Been Seperated From My Body And I Do Not See Any "Unforseen Forces" Or " Magical Faerie Spirit Guides" Out There To "Aid" Us.

@Wittgensteinism It's his subconscious trying to tell him that it actually does have to do with the mind...

Part way through this video strange curlicues and butterflies appear for no apparent reason. This, to me, proves that up equals down and the square root of 17 is Tuesday.

@dbossmx basically he is saying that you don't exist, have a nice day!
