Henri Zwols i guess your right on that one, but in that case the topic wouldn't be about the homwork itself, it'd be about weather that particular student did it or not, because if he didn't have it, the homework would be still in progress in his home
Everything is complicated we just simplify it. Everything is simple we are just looking at too much. We make the simple seem complicated and the complicated seem simple.
Taking a picture of the cat is *the same* as observing it. Also, the title claims the riddle has been solved; however, at the end of the video, it says it has only been *partially solved* So could we then conclude that this video is both legit and *clickbait* at the same time? 🤔🤔 It's clearly in more than one box (computer/smartphone)...
You didn't pay attention. The camera they use, deliberately doesn't take in all of the information. It's not the same as observing it with your eyeball or other equipment, because that stuff would record ALL of the image/information. But the kind of camera they are talking about is blurred enough that you cannot actually say whether the cat is dead or alive just by looking at it. It's a greyed blob, so it could be dead or it could be laying down? Or whatever? By blurring the image, as far as Quantum Physics is concerned, you have only recorded enough information that would be in either state. A blurred photo of a living cat and blurred photo of a dead cat, is merely identical from an information perspective. If you could see the cat was laying in a stiff and ragdoll way, that's how you would know it was dead. If it looked like how a cat lays when it sleeps, or it just was cleaning itself or something but the vague shape of the blur made it look too vague for you to know exactly what was going on, then it could be a dead cat for all you know in some pose which in a blur looks identical. Then, as the dude in the video explained, by taking 2 pictures like this. You actually can eliminate the information associated with the probability that the cat is dead or dying. Thus going beyond observation, by observing the vague grey information inbetween the 2 states, and eliminating 1 half of the information, you actually just FORCE the observation to be that the cat is alive. You are manipulating and dictating what you observe, rather than observing to determine... you determine TO observe.
I totally get both sides to what you guys are saying, but I believe Quantum Physics is much deeper than that, and that even a blurry photo is the same as observing it...
@@terraminelightvoid5467 but how does it change the true state of it being dead or alive by being blurry? blur is just a malfunction of observation and it won't change true state of being alive or dead imagine we take a picture while we have a heart rate equipment attached to the cat maybe your observation with photo malfunction but heart rate will tell it's alive or dead. and see it this way that the fallacy in observation or mistakes won't change reality of that and basically a blur photo is not an observation by the definition of the word and purpose, cause we don't want to observe whether cat exist in there or not cause we already know, we define observation in order to check if it's alive or not. if you say that a photo is blur it's same as saying making a camera to show opposite of what actually happened inside a box, which is called false observation.
It's so hard to understand. I'm still learning about the theory of relativity and can't even comprehend it already. Seeing some quantum physics videos makes me just wanna back out. Science is so hard to understand. I haven't understand people who says it's hard but seeing deepeer into it makes me think it's just as hard as my most hated subject bc of its complexity, math. I just wanna understand the world that's actually why I'm learning it and trying to still understand it excluding all these equations you will encounter in these theories bc it's hard for me to understand equations but these concepts is just too hard, to visualize it is hard, to make it make sense is hard.
You got it my freind thats what it is At the very last instant when you are about to see it , it cracks or remains same But for iPhone its is always cracked.
No that's not how it works. Things on a large scale, larger than an atom are not all things at once before being observed. He is talking about the quantum level where physics acts differently. It's common sense that you, your phone, or a real cat cannot be in tow places or two states at once. That's not how matter behaves. But at the quantum level things are in different states at the same time, and only enter one state when observed.
@@x1v160 yeah but what he is sayin is that until you look at the open the box, the cat could be dead or alive. Just like the phone until you lift the phone up, it could be cracked or not cracked
I am impressed and confused at the same time on why scientists in 2023 couldn't even put a modern camera instead of an old one where the photo is blurry. Still an amazing video!
Very interesting. It is actually impressive that a thing can be at two states at the same time. Obviously when looked at it, it has to manifest in a way (either alive or dead in the case of the cat), but the fact that science can actually find ways to look at it in its suppositional state is incredible. Great video!
Schrodinger's Cat was an analogy to explain the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, i.e., duality of light being a particle or a wave. But the double slit experiment showed that there is no such thing as a particle of light. The state of the energy when traveling at c is always a wave, not a particle or a photon, but instead light is a potential particle in space and time. This is important because when we dig deeper into the experiments using Maxwell's field equations the results imply that when the energy is in the form of a wave and the measuring device is inside the field that is measuring the particle of light it does not even travel through space or time. So time actually has to be removed from the equation else the information appears to travel faster than light. Spooky action beyond what general relativity is able to explain. That interpretation was solidified with quantum entanglement. The entire confusion comes when using general relativity's interpretation claiming that nothing can travel faster than light so the further away we look into space the younger the light becomes. There is a good reason why Einstein called quantum entanglement "spooky action at a distance." All the confusion comes from general relativity assuming that light particles take time to travel. Light particles don't really travel through space or time. The only part of the energy that travels at c is the front of the wave. But the information when it is measured happens in the now so we are able to see the distant object as it looks now. Example. If a galaxy is born 10 billion light years away it doesn't take 10 billion years for it's information to reach us because we are already inside the distant galaxy's field of energy. All the information pertaining to that galaxy, color, distance, temperature, size, brightness, mass, gravity, movement, etc., is seen in the now, not how it looked in the past when the light left the distant galaxy. So when we look at a galaxy 10 billion light years away it could be any age. Thus, if I'm right, and I know I am then the new James Webb Space Telescope, JWST will be able to view old galaxies, much larger than our own Milky Way, but further than 14 billion light years away. The distant galaxies on one side of the universe should appear to be bigger and produce more light than the galaxies near us. And on the other side of the universe the galaxies should appear to be smaller and smaller, younger and younger the further away they are. Some galaxies will appear to have been born and be larger than our galaxy. This hypothesis would even explain why quasars emit so much light. Because they are actually much older and contain more stars than the galaxies near us. We see their light in the now. By measuring massive galaxies instead of the first light at a distance of 14 billion light years away would be empirical evidence to support this wild hypothesis. It would also be empirical evidence that the universe did not begin from a single event (big bang) but instead has taken time to grow to the size and mass the universe is today. More predictions can be made as well, too wild and lengthy to discuss at this time. Conclusion; Believing you can use a telescope to look into the past is as silly as believing you can use a microscope to look into the future. Light information happens in a quantum instant when the measuring device is inside the EM field. It does not take time for the information to travel because the information pertaining to the distant object is potential (see Copenhagen Interpretation and Schrodinger's cat). The information doesn't exist in space or time until the information is measured or observed (see double slit experiment). This has nothing to do with the wave collapsing into a particle. Because in reality the information never really existed as a particle if it travels at c (see superposition). When traveling at c time is zero (see Maxwell's field equation). Time has to be removed from the equation (see quantum entanglement)! All these experiments can only have one commonality that describes them all. The information inside the energy field traveling at c becomes potential and exists outside of space and time. Note this interpretation does not agree with general relativity, but neither does quantum entanglement.
Only 2 likes? The only part of all that I don't like was the statement "I know I'm right" I love that hypothesis. But you can't call it a hypothesis (which it is) and say I know I'm right. You could potentially be though. It makes logical sense. Wow never thought I'd say that to an explanation of quantum physics.
Drawing conclusions from quantum theory to general relativity is the biggest problem of our time, and has been for 100 years. While I disagree with your theory for various reasons, there’s always a chance that our entire view of physics is wrong and those results would be astonishing and quite useful. If we could see far off stars as they are now there goes our communication problems over long distances. Also we already see stars that are further than the age of the universe in light years (they appear older and different) and this happens because of the expansion of the universe due to dark energy makes those distances swell by the time light gets to us, we only catch glimpses of this due to getting lucky with a black hole or galaxy gravitationally lensing and stretching space and time to give us a closer look into the distance of our abyss.
@@AlejandroCab98 Where can I learn more about the relationship between dark energy and expansion? Are you saying they think dark energy swells space-time? Honestly don't know
Tres Patterson it absolutely does that’s what they call the effect that causes the universe expanding faster and faster rather than the slow down that they expected after billions of years the big bang happened. They believe due to the immense power this demonstrates that dark energy makes up most of the universe. Dark matter seems to keep galaxies together and energy makes the large scale structures grow further apart. Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs: The Astounding Interconnectedness of the Universe” is a great book that explains dark energy and matter very simply, where I learned about it. Pretty entertaining too if i find any good videos on the subject here on YT i’ll post them here.
I’ve literally just finished a nuclear physics exam and I’ve got my quantum mechanics exam in two days and rn I’m just taking a break from revision and this appears in my subscription. I feel attacked
Could it be that you are observing your future exam and now (no exam) at the same time? Maybe you have both passed and have not taken the exam as you read this?
@@stevetait8878 OK - Not even kidding, but a study was done re: time-space, & people who studied after an exam vs. not, actually did better on their exam!! So indirectly? You're humour has a hint of bizarre truthiness!🤣😊👍🏼❤
I'm sorry @Jennifer Silva - I'm just starting year 2 of my free online Creditless MIT courses (provided to spread knowledge & studied by nerds like me) & I kinda felt nervous too!! Congrats on your studies BTW!😊👍🏼❤☮
Elektric Skeptic thank you! I’m also on my second year of my physics and astrophysics degree and barely hanging on but quantum is definitely my favourite topic 😂💖
@@eyesyt7571 thats exactly what i was thinking this kind of scientits are so confused that they ask stupids questions there is no question this life is a test based up on you what gos has given you a sertan test that he knows you can just handle if you want but its up on us tho choose
@@eyesyt7571 sure but this thought experiment was just the start to many others on the state of consciousness like the multi verse theory . Its not about the cat directly but the state of consciousness in ourselves and it's impact on the cat itself so it it both because some of us believe it's alive and others believe it's dead
At 4:00. Pause the video and observe the play button within the atom while tilting your phone horizontally. That will explain you all the dynamics of Quantum Physics.
@@tr0ller774 i put my mask correctly when i work with patients, this was when i was taking a break.And you are aboslutely correct , there is no use if its under my nose.

1 it makes nois because it's heavy and the tree is made up of wood and have leaves so it will surely make noise 2 no one hear it maybe because they are far
@@kzuna8585 Well you are mostly correct. I too thought I had it figured out for many years. Until I realised that it all depends on what kind of tree, what kind of ground it is landing on, and the distance of the sounds waves that equates to noise. The other part is that what accounts for the noise if no one or anything hears it? You can argue that it does make a sound simply because of size and weight, but no, its only really because many organisms have ears that pick up the sounds. Many other types of organinsms will only feel vibrations, because they have no ears. Thus if an organism has no ears nor central nervous system, then it may not even feel the vibrations. It may only have the primitive version of sight.
This is really well explained. Great vid. Tried explaining this to my parents when the article was originally brought out. I think I'll just show them this vid.
The concept of Schrödinger's Cat, it shows how bizarre quantum physics can be. It serves as a reminder that the quantum realm is filled with mysteries and surprises. This experiment generates a lot of discussion among scientists and philosophers, and it makes us ponder about the true nature of reality. by: ashley
@@fredcarson2667 Pretty much, its the idea of conditional statistics iirc. Given more information, the probability can change at basically any variation.

This is so cool . I got a little lost but the coin flip metaphor really helped and this video really helped me understand something else I'm currently working on ❤️
I'll give it a try. We are talking about particle physics. The cat was the observer and measured movement in the box constantly. Spoiler, the cat lives.
I found the video very interesting due to the leading theory behind Schrodinger's Cat. The idea seems rudimentary but also advanced. Matter cannot exist without awareness. I personally like the thought behind it, and how it may never be solved. -Ilan
I think it's fascinating. The idea that the cat can be both alive and dead at the same time until observed is mind blowing. It's a way to highlight the strange nature of quantum theory and the role of observation in determining reality.
Not a single word I'm able to connect and get a picture about this concept. It is like a dream in sleep appears to be clear but after waking up nothing i could remember
I believe its the idea of demensions and being able to travel there or make a change. Most theorized that the cat was in another demention of reality before choosing the positive or negative reality of our 3rd demension and its rules.....i think.....or at least that whats been said about the cat and what I can somewhat lamen my way through this video.... its allotta " ifs" in the video.
"How can we learn its fate without opening the box?" Well, you could put a stethoscope up to the box and listen. (Or sensitive microphone.) Is the cat breathing? Is its heart beating? Is it maybe even walking around within the box? These things will make sounds. If they are detectable even in principle, there is no superposition.
@Is S Yes. I think the answer to the Schrodinger's Cat paradox is that it simply is not possible to completely isolate a complex system like a living animal from interaction with its environment. Therefore, it cannot be in a superposition of states, which requires complete isolation and lack of interaction. No simple box can cause that.
It's good because it highlights how quantum mechanics challenges our understanding of reality. Despite attempts to solve it, it remains a puzzle that makes me question our perception of the world at fundamental levels."
the video is very good. Schrödinger's cat is a famous thought experiment proposed by the Austro-Hungarian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 to illustrate
Let me put it together for everyone who has ever had a dream and actually remember it, the dreams that you have are from a different you in an alternate reality and that's why you feel pain. For say, your alternate reality you will dream while you are living your daily life until you sleep then your off to another person/ your alternate reality self. From the future you dream your life, from the past they/ you dreams your's. THE END!
Not exactly avatar, it's another you from a parallel universe that's why you could feel all the pain and feelings in your dreams which are basically like a pager from yourself from the parallel universes instead it's a dream though but for your other self it's happening in real life while you're asleep so it's almost like a walkie-talkie with your souls and everything like that I don't know if you ever seen the movie (the one) with jet Lee? But yeah that's basically the truth right there!
I'm starting to think taking l.s.d. is a requirement to get a ph.d in physics because reality seems to be as unpredictable as p.c.p. along with some shots of whiskey from the p.o.v. of little old me😉 I'm guessing this is about e.s.p.
