Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains The Weirdness of Quantum Physics 

In a parallel universe worthless neil would be watching me explaining quantum mechanics.

Is it just me that always gets a headache from quantum physics but loves to learn about it?

When my legs are tired I Neil on deGrasse

NDT - "You can't get crazier than quantum mechanics." My girlfriend - "Hold my beer."

The most amazing part is with all that randomness in quantum world our reality is amazingly stable and resilient

Watching Neil keeps my mind open to possibilities

Some day we'll laugh at ourselves for being so puzzled by quantum physics

When quantum physics collides with philosophical physics it opens up a whole new world of reality as films like this explain. It is truly awesome and hard to get your brain 🧠 round. Recently I read an interesting book called 'Phenomenon' (Amazon) 'the greatest adventure ever experienced' it explains how a person's soul can leave their physicality and quantum physics is at the heart of how it's done as explained in the science chapter in the book. It is well worth a read if you are open minded to the new scientific area quantum philosophy.

We've had quantum physics since the 1920s. A 100 years later we still don't fully understand it. Even though we are using it, we still don't fully grasp it

Waiting for that random particle to pop into existence and add an extra 0 to my bank balance

EVERYTHING AT IT'S VERY CORE LEVEL IS ENERGY EVEN US HUMANS

“Neilsplaining”: when you have a science question you didn’t know you have and the video pops up on your RU-vid feed

This man can make anything fascinating and make me want to listen to him

Quantum entanglement kinda sounds like that "if a tree falls in the woods with no one around does it make a sound" question except the answer is that it both does and doesn't untill you hear it

First in a parallel universe.

"neil degrass tyson explains" -_-

This is amazing! 😍 I’m so excited for the future of these science discoveries.

Particles pop in and out of existence. You try to measure something and its not there any more. This is why Quantum Physics is so fascinating. Of course, a quantified human would be the ultimate cool thing. Image the possibilities. The positive changes you could make for the world. Its limitless. 😉

Quantum physics been here since the beginning of time. I'm learning more and more about this and its Actually amazing! It's also amazing how my mind,body and soul can connect to this. 👁

"People don't think the universe be like it is, but it do" - Neil deGrasse Tyson

So brilliant I can have a glimpse into those decades of research through a short clip.

So as a guitarist, quantum physics explains what happens to my guitar pick when I drop it on the floor.

Neil sir is my inspiration for falling more in love with physics and astronomy 😍😍💙

Thanks Mr. Ling for encouraging me. Would you please tell me, where is the best place to publish?

I love science. It's the answer to almost everything.

Wow just had a deeper understanding of the word information technology because of this video! Incredible i never thought of it like that from the perspective of quantum physics. Variables of uncertainties and no absolutes. Perhaps as humans we are naieve to assume there ever was such a thing as absolutes?...

Great video x especially appreciate the in depth discussion on the history assignments

“Particles pop into and out of Existence.” Hey, just like us. We’re here one moment, gone the next.

Neil Tyson is the Earl Scheib of philosophical astrophysicists.

The universe is fractal, therefore the same rules that apply to a solar system must apply to an atom (except at faster speeds), otherwise the universe would collapse in disarray and conflict. Empirical observations of the micro universe are as good as the equipment utilized to collect them. If one observes a particle (planet) around the nucleus (sun) with a shutter speed equal to one revolution, it would register at one position only; 1/2 cycle would result in two opposite positions. At higher speeds more positions are collected and the vibration (wave) function starts to reveal itself. What is missing in our science at the particle level is the inclusion of the interaction between the particle and the energy dissipated from the device used to observe it (equipment or human brain).

I know I won't be here in a thousand years to come but I'm happy for the future generations

'Weird science ' INDEED! I love this subject, even though I don't always understand it. This is a very informative and interesting video.

Love finding out and studying about these particles and how they work

I somehow understood most of that. Now I gotta google macroscopic. It annoys me that there is a quantity of matter so small and unpredictable that it cannot be observed.

Wonderful editing! Whatta work.

The real secret to unifying our theory is understanding how time effects scales that small much differently. Just like black holes are effected by time differently. We find that exponent factor, we crack the unifying theory

When we gaze at the stars, we are looking at their past. If we were to travel faster than the speed of light, we would approach those star's present, and if we looked back, we would see our past, which would reflect in those star's future.

I have been studying this so much lately and being so amused by it and turned on and can't get enough of studying about the quantum rim I do my research homework and still growing but learning so much about it.

So to be "cool" or "chill" means to have no resistance. 😲

One of the issues in Quantum Mechanics sub atomic particle measurement is that we're using photons of light to measure the particle's momentum and this photons are causing the uncertainty. The photons of light are like the finger pushing on the coin wedged in the car's seat. In other words is that, it is impossible to measure a particle smaller that a photon of light using the larger photon without affecting the smaller particle. If the particle has less mass than the photon then the photon will affect the particle.

It's not the act of measurement. It's INFORMATION

The only reason I wanted to learn more about Quantum Physics is because I was listening to Dr Tyson’s podcast where he mentioned quantum entanglement and that Einstein didn’t think it was a thing calling it “spooky action at a distance”. Now my brain is a contradiction in terms, in that I’m Mathematically challenged (seriously algebra might as well be sandscript) but I understand calculus (I’ve never found anyone that explain this to me lol). So when Dr Tyson was explaining Quantum entanglement I got the concept but I needed more info (like trying to understand how an engine works by looking at the fuel fill and exhaust pipe). And I know I’m just some guy but after reading everything I could get my hands on (that wasn’t written for PHD candidates) it dawned on me that this might be our ticket to the stars. My physics teacher in HS said that the only natural force that humans can’t manipulate is Gravity and we’d have to be able to manipulate it if we ever want to explore other solar systems. But (excuse my ignorance) if we can figure out how to manipulate quantum entanglement we would have the means to sidestep the cosmic speed limit

Can you please tell us what is the background music you used in the intro?

As a child I'd watch my mother in frustration as some objects at times would not agree with things such as distance and or gravity. I'd confusingly displace this as old age, though I knew my mom was pretty sharp, yet now as an adult, I bear witness to same as my mother, but would displace it as entities of lost souls. Now I understand it for my mom, myself, and this universe we are in, is all of Quantum Physics...the levels of uncertainties.

I’m sitting here, six feet tall, in-front of my telly. The microcosm appears to be infinitely small in the same way that the macrocosm appears to be infinitely large. Me and my consciousness instantly inflate to a size where I hold the ‘Laniakea super-cluster’ in the palm of my hand. Time passes normally for me at this scale as I observe light taking billions of years to travel a few inches across my palm.

It's like looking at left and right at the same time.

I still do not get what is weird about QM. Like Neil said at the beginning of this video, it's like trying to recover a coin under your car's seat. As you try to get it you push it away. What's weird about our inability to get data because our fingers are too big? What is weird about the fact that the photons we use to detect particles are too big to get precise measurements?

Actually when someone looks for a coin stuck between two cushions they actually push or jiggle the coin until it moves.However when someone looks at a wavefunction,the act of just LOOKING collapses the wavefunction.

This is probably my favorite field of science

If I watch something I don’t understand enough times. I can explain it word for word.

I feel tyson is a time traveller who got stuck here and now he's making all of us aware so that one may in a near future come to help him by discovering the tech that he needs.

Consciousness is the acknowledgement of one's connection to the universe, so it is a human state of mind; but all things are connected to the universe, we are all one.

Game programmers save computing cycles in the game by only rendering what you are looking at. Everything else is kept in an indeterminate state in the game until you interact with the environment. Reality uses the same trick, apparently. That would seem to imply that quantum mechanics is the underlying physics of the machinery that makes reality possible, the hardware, firmware and operating system, and classical physics is the actual game being run on the machine. As we all know from playing computer games, anything is possible in the game environment, it just depends on the rules of the software you load up. The irony is that our science is revealing that our science may not be enough to explain our reality, we may have to figure out the nature of the game that is being played with us, and that is subject to the imagination of the programmers. They look to be pretty imaginative. I've played an awful lot of computer games, most of them had magic and supernatural stuff in them. I've seen some pretty weird stuff in my time on Earth. I think science may have to eventually come to the conclusion we're in a gaming environment of some kind. I've done some concrete sculpting, and I learned that there is magic involved in the process. I put the image into the concrete as I pour the slug, and when I carve, the stone feeds back information on what to remove and what to leave behind. I can feel magic flowing between my hands, my eyes, and the soft concrete. We have learned water has memory. We have learned we can affect the outcome of some experiments by our expectations. We are made of water and carbon. There is water in the concrete. Water communicates with water. There is the foundation for stone carving magic. Freshly quarried marble is softer, easier to carve, before it dries out. Michelangelo said that the images were already in the marble, he just removed what didn't belong. But he would sit in his studio for hours staring at the block of marble, and I know what he was doing. He was trying to imagine what kind of scene would fit into the marble block. And without realizing it, by focusing an image that would fit into the marble, he programmed the water in the marble to reveal the surfaces as he carved. Scientists are just witches and wizards studying arcane knowledge, revealing it, making powerful magic devices and calling it science. Heheheh! Semantics. It's magic and deplorable and you shouldn't believe in it until the scientists figure it out and THEN you're allowed to believe in the unexplained because now it is explained, and that makes it science. I've carved stone. It's magic. Take your cell phone and a laser pointer 200 years into the past and see how fast they burn you as a witch. You can say "science" all you want, they're going to see magic. Especially when you're too stupid to tell them how it works. I had a little serendipity that helped me understand what was going on with the carving. I was excited when I first discovered I had a gift for sculpting concrete. I would make my own sand mix concrete, carefully proportioned, with fine silica sand (wear a respirator), white Portland cement and a bit of hydrated lime to make it more plastic. I'd mix up large batches of the powder to use in several projects and keep it in containers. But I would think about what I wanted to carve as I mixed my water into the concrete mix to pour a slug. Two or three days later on my weekend, the slug would be set enough to begin carving, and I would get good results. One day I was distracted and in a hurry, I knew I'd want to carve a slug on the weekend, but my mind was on other things, and I had no idea what I was going to carve. I did not realize how the images were getting into the stone yet, I was just excited to find them there. So I quickly mixed my concrete to the right consistency and poured my slug for the weekend with no thought as to what I would carve. That weekend I carved on it for six hours and do you know what I found in the stone? That's right, nothing. I call it "Snow Globe," it is a white sphere with a flat base. That is what revealed to me how the image was getting into the stone, I was programming the water as I mixed the concrete. I think my cat caught covid. She was sneezing and wheezing for about three weeks, her breathing sounded like a little harmonica. But I figured she'd survived three weeks, she ought to be able to make a comeback. One morning last week I set out her kibble, no interest. I set out treats, then some canned food. She just looked at me. Uh oh. I've seen that before, I thought I was going to have to take her to the vet and have her put down. But I decided to try an experiment first. I set her on my knee, gave her a little pep talk, and as I petted her I pushed the idea that she was hungry into her as I would push an image into the concrete before I carve. Two minutes, then she jumped off my lap and headed for her dish, her interest in eating renewed. Water communicates with water. We affect each other with our will. You can call it science, but understanding it doesn't make it any less magical. My kitty is fine and healthy today. And spoiled, now she wants canned food every day. The larger reservoir programs the smaller reservoir, I suspect that is how it works. When we pollute and defile the waters of our world, we pollute and defile ourselves. Science will eventually discover the roots of spirituality, which they currently mock as unscientific, and urge us all to live in harmony with nature. That's all nature ever wanted. There is magic in the material of our world, especially the waters. If you don't believe me, take up sculpting and duplicate my experiments for yourself. One more noteworthy and possibly very important observation: When I carve concrete, there is more detail emerging from the stone than I put into it with my imagination. The water is intelligent, and it has a better imagination than I do. I think it's saying "Hello. Let me help you with that." It's a collaboration we both seem to enjoy. Water likes to create. Nature spirits?

you are the momentum and your momentum decides your destination.❤👍

The problem is that our minds was created in three dimensions. If energy is operating in a higher Dimension which is highly possible/plausible then we'll never know or/nor be able to explain everything and/nor detect what's happening

As a physics major in college, it is disheartening to see how incorrectly some of these phenomena are explained. For example, the uncertainty principle is not related to us influencing something by measuring it, that was a misconception of hiesnburg when he was trying to explain it. It is rather due to the wave-particle nature of particles, and how that inherently creates an unavoidable uncertainty, no matter how we measure it.

Thank you for this informative video. I really had no idea that Lawrence Krause is a physicist.

As much as we know, as smart as we believe we are we know nothing.

I have this immediate reaction to question the relationship between that which is measured and the instrument measuring it, as in the nature of the physical world around the perceiver. Our eyes process at a rate obviously slower than the rate the world the eyes perceives operates. Is this relationship in any way predictable?

Please Add English subtitles...

Wouldn't the act of digging for a coin change the parameters for the mechanics holding the coin place? 🤔

This man just said something in the first two minutes that completely changed my already-convinced mind on how I think about the Heisenburg uncertainy principle.

I’ll forever want answers for the double slit experiment. I’m just so intrigued as to why the pattern in the slits changes. Someone please find the answer!

I've always found quantum theory to be fascinating and believe it is the key to us unlocking many of the questions we cannot answer such as gravity, time and space and the limitations standard physics binds us to. Once we understand enough our physical world may just be unlocked so we can move and possibly think outside the boundaries of regular physics.

Imagine being out in the woods but still able to log into Facebook

MAGIC OF NATURE 1957, Malawi, Africa. I was nineteen and my buddy twenty four. We set out from Blantyre to picnic at the foothills of Mount Melange, Malawi (Nyasaland at that time). A glorious sunny blue sky greeted our enthusiasm with expectation as we settled into the Morris minor and sped off toward Melange some fifty kilometers away looming like a massive shadow, its sheer pink granite cliffs occasionally sparkled for a moment. For hundreds of miles Savannah bush stretched and disappeared in all directions finally disappearing into a morning haze and infinity. My buddy was driving, I sat in the passenger seat alongside. The road dipped slightly, we were not in any hurry. As we drove up out of the gravel road the driver slammed on the breaks - a live camel three times larger than life in front of us blocked our progress. It stopped chewing the cud, raised its head and gawked at the intruders. An ox pecker flew off the camels back into the bush. The animal blinked its eyes and waited. Wow, wow look at that! The apparition lasted no more than three seconds, full colour, I noticed the bird return to sit on the animal. Next moment the camel scene retracted into a tunnel like a magic telescope, back, back quickly until it disappeared on the horizon. We moved the car slowly forward and waited for the scene again. It was gone forever. On either side of the road dense Savannah bush covered the landscape uninterruptedly as far as the eye could see. So this was a genuine mirage, no hokus pokus, no extraterrestrial nonsense, real magic!

Can you determine the big bang theory through quantum physics?

That hypothesis about birds using quantum entanglement is a bit of a stretch... Quantum means one that can be counted, discrete, as opposed to continuous, made of separate elements.

This video hurts my brian. In a good way🤯

I want to become a quantum mechanic so I can repair quantums.

You made a mistake. p is momentum. x is the position. Multiplication is commutative, so it doesn't matter that much.

I'm still agog at the repelled magnet. That knocked my socks off. I'm off to search for deeper explanation of that...

Quantum mechanics is a microcosm of some of the traits that make us human --uncertainty, indecisiveness, irrationality.

We need to go smaller, like in ant man when he goes subatomic!!! That’s where the waves are!!🤯 🐜

I hope from you to make a translation to arbic , thank you

Did you see the experiment with a bubble jumping on water with a speaker explains the double slit experiment??? Beautiful!

I watch these videos even though i have a physics degree cause Tyson always has new ways of explaining and communicating ideas, hes such a genius and a physics rockstar this guy hahahha.

Welcome to the multiverse!

It's a sound that creates the laser, sound that is formed by a vibration producing sending Ray's signals in one direction, contrantared on a small point. Imagine echolocation as a wave that curves and bounces off of everything that it hits creating a reverse wave that travels back to the bat, image that fact that there are different types of shapes that the sound produces.

I can listen to Neil talk about stuff i know nothing about all day. Its like french, idk what he's saying but it sounds good

I was 12 and play fighting my same age Uncle. He hit me with a shoe so I grabbed a quarter and zinged it hard enough to bounce it off his head. After looking we saw it perfectly balanced upright on the rim of a glass. Once we both let out our amazement at what we were seeing it then fell into the glass. I would imagine it would take billions of tries to get that result. OT but like quantum physics anything is possible if you keep adding more and more numbers to the equations.

Thumbnail of Neil harnessing his dark hadou made me click

What would happen if when you go to look at the quantum entangled particle that is near you and then there's someone else about to look at the quantum entangle particle that set office centauri and what if you both look at it at the exact same time? Like literally down to the .0000...0001s difference with that little tiny sliver of a second determine which way the other one would face or would it be so close in time to where it somehow breaks reality because there's likely no chance that they would be in the exact same position as the other one even though they're in kind of all positions at once kind of thing you get what I'm saying

Quantum physics is not stranger than we think it is. It is stranger than we can think

There’s a universe where I’m hosting this show 🤔

When you do mushrooms you can see quantum magnetic fields in the sky that birds see ,we don’t see a lot going on in front of us mushrooms showed me we have been missing out on human evolution for a long time,but we are busy becoming woke and gender fluid now.

As is above as is below...once you see it, you’ll know, right down, below your nose. Yes, you can simultaneously push pull lean and go all at once, because when you shuffle a deck enough the chaos will be stacked in perfect order.

I didnt know my brain had a g-spot.

I am freaking out rn because I just experienced 2 1/4in chains fade right through Each other without breaking or bending at all.I’ve never seen anything like it.the possibility of this happening are impossible and I just witnessed it.

Weird stuff happens all the time in this world. I'm sure most of us have experienced some kind of strange para-normal thing in our life, yet science ignores it. I think the earth is like 1 cell of the universe and contains all the information of the universe we cannot see much like 1 cell in our body contains all the information of the whole body. To see the smallest, look at the largest or vise-versa tree's branching is similar in structure to the branching of capillaries in a human lung, the circulatory system similar to how rivers. The large-scale structure of the Universe is similar to neurons in a human brain, and there's the interesting coincidence that the number of stars in a galaxy, galaxies in the Universe, atoms in a cell, and cells in a living being are all approximately the same.

Also if your in a space time ship or machine the principles of not being able to go back before it was invented are nullified because the time machine/ship would be with you where and when you ended up. 7:46

So I've always wondered if in studying quantum mechanics can start unlocking the code of possibility.

More like "Neil Degrasse Tyson Talks For Probably A Minute." Sorry friend, you can't just get away with that. Thumbs down.

Neil is absolutely in my top 20 humans. What a great man to follow Sagan.

We can build protective shield for specific area thru drones. And those will be powered by solar system and can be replace when it expires 😊 Especially in those areas where Tornado and Thunderstorms occur frequently. Electrons will be useful.

Starting at 1:45... Heisenberg uncertainty is not due to the interaction of the observer or experimenter, it is intrinsic, rather, because it is an implication of Fourier analysis...momentum and position are mutual Fourier transforms of each other, just as are energy and time. Heisenberg's gamma ray microscope thought experiment is pedagogical and does not represent any underlying physical mechanism to quantum uncertainty. BTW, Nonlocality = "no underlying causal mechanism".

Neil is genius❤️

Quantum Rasengan

How much time is instantaneous?

Couldn’t we manipulate the electrical properties of the air since we can study the wave nature of electrons?
