Whenever Noah is on these episodes he always asks such GOOD QUESTIONS. Like idk anything about quantum physics and neither does he, but his mind creates these fabulous questions to further understanding and like bitch I’m just trying to catch up. I always feel so smart after watching these, quite a feat, A+

So here's the thing. I'm currently a physics undergrad student. I've taken several courses on Quantum Mechanics. I'm familiar with these models and the definitions of these terms, especially the introduction part. BUT I never considered how I might explain it to someone else with little or no prior knowledge. This was FASCINATING from a teaching perspective. How would I explain this to my past self from like 5 years ago? How tf did my lecturers manage to teach me this stuff in the first place? Honestly, I have no idea. I loved watching Corry try to define terms like "superposition" and "state", because I was also trying to do it in my head as I watched, and I struggled.

lmao, when Luke jokingly asked "What kind of quark are you?" I had to laugh, because when we studied quantum and theoretical physics, our professor began teaching us by having us all take an actual quiz of "Which type of particle are you?" and it was amazing

Any other bisexuals feel attacked by quarks having to choose a state, like they have to pick a side?! Just let them vibe in superposition😂

I can't stop seeing the UFO on Corry's shirt as a mushroom and it stresses me out

A wave function is a super position of eigenstates. Eigenstates is a scary word though so think of it as the base components. I think talking about vectors is confusing for non-physics people so let's think about it in terms of a painting. Every painting is some combination of the primary colors, so think of your favorite painting as your wave function. The eigenstates are YELLOW, BLUE and RED. Every painting (generally speaking) is a combination (or superposition) of these colors.

I've just found your guys' channel and I love these podcasts! I'm a PhD student in graphene-related science so I do a fair bit of QM in my work but your channel is a great introduction to lots of different areas of science I haven't come across. Lovely to listen to and very interesting!

because I am not a native English speaker I sometimes don’t know the translation of a word and sometimes it happens that the word I don’t know the translation of is very central in the episode, so I just learn about a whole topic and at the end of the episode I notice I don’t even know what you were talking about the whole time but I still could write an essay about it :)

Dark suddenly started to make so much more sense I'm literally so thankful for that lol. Loved it, Corry explains so well

I laughed so much with this and I actually learnt something. We are listening guys, even if you don't believe it. Same as Noah I didn't like physics in school so it's nice to try to understand these things now as an adult with a different perspective. and with a nicer teacher.

Idk what it is about this episode, but this is my third time watching, I genuinely love this topic and this episode keeps making me want to re-watch

i happened to watch this podcast one time while doing my schoolwork during this past year, and after that i could no longer do my school work without listening to it. i just find that a little funny lol

One thing I do love however, is to see how science is getting closer to describing what a lot of other people already know. Som people, like scientists, need these kind of complicated explanations. It´s great to see how spiritual experiences (by say shamans, völvor/völvas and medicine women/men/people like myself) is put into words. I know this sounds weird to scientists and people of little trust in the universe (aka faith), but what a shaman essentially does is to observe all of these layers and possibilities and chooses which one to draw closer. And if you also pose that every human has "their own universe".. oh no, science hasn´t gotten to that one yet, have yet? ;) If there is a theory on that let me know.

My thoughts for the question at the end: all of them are a variation on me. The fact that they are slightly different to me doesn't mean that they're not me, because past me is different too and so is future me. When you get to a variation that is so significantly different from me that I wouldn't be able to recognise me, that doesn't mean that isn't still a variation of me because there are plenty of me's who are almost identical to that version and those will have their variations that eventually lead back to me. I am one of many variations of me and they are many variations of me. So there is no point where I am not me really since all of those variations are a possibility of me. Not sure if this makes any sense but these are my thoughts on it.

I have a degree in physics, just to preface this with that haha. At the risk of sounding pathetic, honestly really wish I could have been a guest on this lol. Anyway, thought I could provide some corrections and such.
