How To Understand Quantum Superposition 

Woooooooahhhhh ahhhha ahhhhhhhha hahahhahahahhah!!!!!! Now i am in Superfunny state (a quantum state yet to be discovered by scientists! ) But that was a nice one dude! 😂

every one here seems student too am not in physics stream, still... checked out vdo, understood, commenting what's on mind just curious, what age group is it here my nature go like this guys and ladies, psychology student👌🔥

from now on i will not use superhilarious same as before :( :)

I am understanding of this and all it’s principles

OH PLS JWJSJSJJSSH

I think he took this way of explanation from an MIT course. the Teacher from the coarse was laughing a lot at everything by the way.

were you getting turned on by his voice?

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.

Oh wait this was a BBC joke, wasn't it? Sorry, slow on the uptake. lol ;)

@@ianbortolotti6520Are you saying it's all predetermined if so and claiming it to be True. The moment you make a truth claim you rise above the bondage of total subjectivity therefore violating predeterminism. I'm saying that in regards to you talking about truth.

i get it

turn this guy into a qubit.

c4rlo Rossi you would still be everywhere even after I read your comment.

yeah we were in superposition lol

Yes.

Yes, he did a great job breaking it down and explaining the experiments.

Babla that’s the what every scientists job is. Lol to give definition to the things we don’t understand while they themselves don’t understand either. “We’re all just an advanced breed of monkeys” xD

Did you make your profile picture? If so what program did you use?

@@KissingUnderStarlight True..we might not even be advanced, just neurotic.

BEEN SAYING THIS... and they try to force feed there bullshit to the population as fact.

CEEAKI 22nd century you’re not a smart one, huh

"soft white,hard black" Hmmmmm

Batuhan Aydogan or our technology just isn’t advanced enough to calculate or measure it 🤔

@@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

@@matthewbarnett3540 But surely just because we cant measure it, doesn't make the electrons position uncertain. Just like if no one hears a tree fall, does it really fall? I would argue that us not hearing it or measuring it doesn't mean the tree or electron is uncertain. Only to us is it uncertain. I would like to understand this further so please help.

@@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.

@@matthewbarnett3540 Thanks for replying. So the uncertainty principle comes from the uncertainty in the measurement?

@Strine And yet we have a brain able to illustrate the incomprehensibile, and communicate an unobservable condition. "Brain" and "Not-Brain"?

Wouldn’t the creator of this simulation already know exactly how all of this superposition stuff works? If they already knew they’d also know how all particles will behave at any point of time in space meaning they’d already know what will happen. A simulation is created to be observed, why observe if you already know the outcome?

@@aisham.7406 The condition is altered by the very fact of it's being observed.

@@aisham.7406 That's exactly what I thinking about

@@aisham.7406 If it's a simulation, then we're creating it as we observe it, and we're recreating the changes as we move around in it. It's just so annoying that it changes its positions every time we blink!

Yes. Hahaha

I’m glad someone came here from the science episode. 😂

Yes , I just had to know what this was.... impractical jokers influenced me!

😅😅😅 thought i was the only inspired by the impractical jokers to come here

Guilty

And magis is just a sanseless physics

not in modern physics, those are not hard to understand

I like that one too. Minute physics has my favorite video on that. I just wanted to mention, this is not a thought experiment; it's a real experiment with the measured qualities simplified for explanation's sake. It's the results of the Stern-Gerlach experiment originally. But it's been repeated other times.

Puts a new slant on 'as above so below'.

(First of all, I don't know anything about physics). But funny that you mention neurons, I read about scientists who used supercomputers to look at what structures dark matter forms in our universe and it reminded me very much of neurons, of how they are interconnected. www.cfa.harvard.edu/news/2020-21#:~:text=Using%20the%20power%20of%20supercomputers,matter%20in%20a%20virtual%20universe.&text=Over%20time%2C%20haloes%20formed%20as,to%20their%20own%20enormous%20gravity.

Same here. Now we understand it, at least we know why we dont understand. I just dont understand it a bit better.

If everyone is inside during a bad storm, why do you still hear lightning strike? Science needs to stop with this blind philosophy thinking

Well no. The sound is the viberations hitting our ear drums so if noone was around it would only make the viberation.

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

you could place a device to record or later find evidence of the tree falls even if no one was anywhere near it. which cannot be done on the electrons.

Wrong. As any neuroscientist knows, what we experience as sound is a construction of the brain. In the external world, there is no sound. Sound waves are utterly silent - they are little more than propagating waves of energy. It gets worse: nor is there color or odors. Cheers.

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.

All quantum particles can be in the same place at the same time. That's the entire point of superposition. "Opportunity" is called potential.

@@thegodofmarch2218 if an electron were ACTUALLY in all places, then we would find it in ALL the places, not just one place. If it were literally in all the places at once, it wouldnt be just one electron, it would be many electrons. It is simply the probability of it being in a number of places, until you observe it and actually see where it is, after which it then loses it's probability. Which is the crux of the mystery

@jacob yeager If anybody could prove that the particles aren't all in the same place at the same time, they'd win a Nobel prize.

You've over estimated your intelligence and underestimated that of the brightest minds humanity has to offer. It's not that simple, you haven't grasped the complexity of how these electrons behave.

​@@markayb6254 Thanks for the compliment, but the aim wasn't to showcase my intelligence. Please explain, because I'm open to hear how something could both be alive and dead at the same time in the real world. At this point I am tired at trying to search for an answer on this...

Nico Flihan black and hard...

Man, you really dated yourself with that one Beavis.

But do you prefer it soft and white or black and hard?

Congrats u figured out Heisenbergs Theory of Uncertainty

WOAH

That’s a good explanation

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.

I think it goes back. I mean if not the result of the second experiment shouldn't have been as described

They're always in a superposition state, they just record what state they're in when the do the reading.

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.

Ok dr robot 😂

The world spins something don't😂

If you're following them, then technically they're being measured, or "observed". When this happens, they behave as sepcified by the boxes, and you can observe whether they are hard, soft, black or white and which path they take in the boxws. Superposition only occurs when they are not being measured, and then their perametres are not yet "decided". Hope this helps.

Good, I'm glad this helped. This video was a little more in depth than my other videos, but I'm glad it helped at least one person!

Every Kind Of Scientist It was a great video! I hope you make more videos like this, depth wise I mean. I love your channels, by the way!

Every Kind Of Scientist Thank you for your awesome videos!

sounds great to read dear keep it up stay blessed, beautiful you👌

That's what I see from the diagram too. The mirrors are interfering. Wonder why they didn't run consecutive color or hardness boxes, or consecutive boxes with mirrors that recombine them.

Rick Sanchez no it isn't I'm sorry

horbergus the answer to your question depends on if you measured which electrons were hard/soft or black/white when you sent them through the boxes. But in general, no the electrons are not in some "equilibrium." It is just that by measuring or "knowing" the color of an electron you changed that electron such that it no longer has a defined hardness. This is the same relation for momentum and position of an electron. If you know the exact momentum of an electron you cannot know its location and visa versa
