In this video I talk about quantum superposition. This one is a little more in depth than some of my other videos. But I love quantum mechanics so I thought I should make a video about it. I use what I think is the best explanation for superposition. Superposition is at the heart of quantum mechanics and it was difficult to cover in just 10 minutes. So if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments section below!

And not realize the answer has two questions both true and false. That's what happens when you let people throw around terms like "infinity" or "truth" without a doctoral degree in Philosophical Mentalism. I mean, they think they can just discuss these complicated issues they don;t even understand because they have a degree in "Classical Physics", that version that only describes half the answer and doesn't understand why it never works when blown out to scale. You thought as above, so below was a reference to heaven and Earth? Geez. Guys, you are being trolled. The old professor is totally fucking with you right now and you are just playing along. Quantum reality is not subject to the binary logic of your minds. True or false isn't enough options. You CAN use paradoxical if you promise not to douche out on it like Aristotle. The answer will, like all concepts in a dualistic reality have two correct answers one the polar inverse of the other and both true and false depending on which point in space time they occupy. Doesn't that leave a true and a false answer as possible, yes both are certain either is impossible. No it leaves two true AND false answers with infinitely many variables acting as inputs on the experiment,. In other words, you cannot, and will not be able to resolve a true or false answer, that is only possible if you were aware of all the inputs that have acted on the object at every point in space at every point of time until the proposed observation of the wave that carries its data. Oh, and all is STILL sound. Or waves. Particles are just "anomolies" you experience when the light exceeds that " Speed limit" we put on it to make Physics work. What's in the spectrum beyond it? Matter. Matter is just a condensation of lower frequency waves, in exactly the same way that the audible spectrum if transposed 44 octaves up becomes visible light of the same frequency. And I'm 50% correct on that at best. ;) i wouldn't listen to me. But the next time some 25 cent Granola hipster tells you to raise your vibration, you ask them, "Why does it matter?" And then promptly start lowering it. That white light you wanna head into? It's gonna be a tight squeeze, just saying.

@@KissingUnderStarlight that is not the case. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle arises, not because of some fault with our instrument, but because it is the nature of the quantum world. The moment you shine a gamma ray on some subatomic electron, the light will impose its momentum upon that particle and inherently change the system. There is nothing we can do about this fact because you need light to make that measurement, but it also changes the system, hence where the uncertainty arises

@@robbieop7935 That is not the case. It is the inherent fact that electrons and photons are waves and how do you confirm the location of a wave? you can not. The best way to do this is the fourier transform where you use the concept of wave interference to locate the electron to the best of your ability. However, the way this is done is by stacking one frequency on top of each other until the wave cancels out to its minimum. By doing this, you have used several light waves that vary widely in momenta. This is where the HUP comes from.

And just to throw a wrench in gears, quantum entanglement suggests there are even more subatomic particles that phase in and out of our dimensions just like the electron phases in and out based on energy fluctuation. Unfortunately, we can't fully measure the quark's phase because "dark" energy and dark matter seem to be the universe's core structure, almost like a brain cell. Even allows information (quantum entanglement) to spread like a neuron. Fascinating. I love quick bits like this video, it keeps your thinking muscle toned.

people are forgetting about complexity. there are certain things that will always become "measured" if a tree falls in the woods. the fact that a lumpsome of tree, is hitting a lumpsome of ground, causes the lumpsome of air to vibrate. Sound is created in the vibrations of the air, thus is measured. Electrons, and photons, in a controlled environment with nothing else to interact except what we choose to measure with, is a different story alll together. The tree comparison is too dumbed down for this phenomenon

When he is explaining the concept of "there is no way to simultaneously measure both color and harness" (minute 4:24 or so), it helped me to think as if the act of measuring the harness RESETS the previous measurement of color. The same happens the opposite way: by measuring the color, the hardness data from before is automatically RE-SETED to 50white/50black. It seems to be assumed that the electron, at that state, cannot hold these two truths at the same time. I could be totally wrong, I didn't even finished watching but who knows....but using the term reset helped me in my own confusion, might help someone else...

That's because to measure a property of subatomic particles, you require some kind of information or energy, and let's say you want to measure the color of the electron, you need some electromagnetic radiation from it and the electromagnetic radiation emitted from it will change its hardness. Color and hardness is the spin of an electron in two axes and so they are interrelated and any change to one will change the other.

Well done! I've been looking for a thorough explanation of this, but all of the well known physicists have failed. Which leads me to believe that most of them don't truly understand it, but instead just repeat things they read in scientific publications.

You truly believe the best scientists in the world don't truly understand it, because they only discuss with their peers? They have no real use to spend their time trying to simplify the concepts so people that do not work in the field can understand. Your conclusion would be that most youtube channels that dumb done some theories understand more than the scientists that compose the theories.

So does that mean there is an ether-like world that electrons reside until they're measured; or can we say brought to this dimension? Until they're observed, they tend to give out a median result. And once you start to play with them, since they're brought to earth, they tend to move according to the law of our world. Double slit experiment is an example that may be used for unimaginable things in the future.

Superposition is the idea that the overall state of a system is the summation of the states of its smaller parts. In math terms, if A and B are both solutions to an equation, than so must A plus B. If two waves are the solution to the Schrodinger equation, than these waves must superimpose into a wave that is also a solution.

I finally get it. We know WHAT superposition is, but we have no idea HOW superposition is. We know what it's doing, but not how it's doing it. That's beyond our comprehension. But it doesn't mean we can't use it, like a caveman using fire but not knowing how it works.

Im currently writing a paper on quantum computing and ive just got a few thoughts, which ive put in a very uneloquent way: what if these particles are not defined in a moment of time, not just space, so when we measure them in our macroscopic word, where the larger scale something it the more defined in time and space it is, it is forced to or at least observed in a moment of time which gives it its defined position, the same of course could apply to qubits. if quantum effects are not defined in space and time the way we see the world, it could explain not only superposition but quantum entanglement. As humans we try and force things to conform to our physical understanding of the way things work, and so we even try and do the same to quantum effects, so we theorize that there could be wormholes that connect things etc.. because we are trying to find a way of explaining things that our brains can process '' ahh well if that exists then that would logically explain why this behave in that way''. I believe we may be approaching this in the wrong way, just as a classical computers could take millions of years to solve problems a quantum computer could solve in seconds because of the way they process information. I believe that we are the classical computer.

Is the problem with measurement the fact that the electron becomes entangled with the measuring photon? Might it be _theoretically_ possible to measure an electron with gravity? (thinking that gravity wouldn't interact?)

Hey, what if separating these electrons in hardness box caused some electrons to lose the normal repeltion between them causing enough force that 50% electron's color( spin) is changing, that why now again we get 50-50% in color box output while when in second case the 50% soft electrons join 50% hard electrons, cancelling that changed effect making them all black once again?...

Superposition is similar to a pebble dropped into water will form ripples that are not random; the waves are relative and synchronized as they radiate out from their centre source. In this theory, time has a similar geometry based on Huygens’ Principle: That says: “Every point on a wave front may be considered a source of secondary spherical 4πr² wave, which spreads out in the forward direction at the speed of light”. The light waves only move in the forward direction because we have an uncertain ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π future continuously coming into existence with the exchange of light photon ∆E=hf energy forming new spherical waves of probability. The wave particle nature of light and matter in the form of electrons is forming an interactive process or what I like to call a blank canvas that we can interact with. Light photon ∆E=hf energy is continuously transforming potential energy into the kinetic Eₖ=½mv² energy of matter, in the form of electrons. Kinetic energy is the energy of what is actually ‘happening’. The dynamic geometry of this process forms an uncertain ∆×∆pᵪ≥h/4π probabilistic future continuously unfolding relative to the electron probability cloud of the atoms and the wavelength of the light.

I had a hard time keeping up, but the thing I can't wrap my head around is this. Why would the color statistic of path 1 and path 2 be considered 50/50 when we already know that the electrons put through the hardness box are 100% black, since the paths diverged in the original color box?
@maggierose5658
@maggierose5658 2 жыл бұрын
I think it’s because he stated that you can’t determine the color of an electron based solely off of its hardness. And vise versa, you can’t determine the hardness based off of its color..? I dunno. I’m just as confused.

Does that mean if you put all 800 of the electrons through colour boxes, and hardness boxes enough times, in a curtain order, you could potentially end up with 800 black electrons?
