The Quantum Experiment that Broke Reality | Space Time | PBS Digital Studios 

It's not as hard as it seems, words and expressions used are what causes the confusion, i/e collapse of wave function, observation = measurement, probability etc. Knowing what those actually mean provides a greater chance of understanding the experiment.

@@ronaldoquintos1675 Why are you insisting on YOUR definitions, in this case understanding? You either get it or don't. Besides, QM doesn't say much about being in more than one place at the same time, it's a rather poor attempt to explain a simple distribution. I/e photons behave in wave pattern and the equations give us probabilities where they will appear in the wave pattern, since we can't measure the path of an individual photon due to quantum interference of the act of measuring itself. On the other hand, if you'd think of an electron, imagine a stone of known weight tied to a piece of rope and you spin it. For the same amount of invested energy, if you shorten the rope, the stone will spin faster in terms of revolutions, and vise versa. If you'd observe that stone, as you gradually shorten the rope, it'll go faster and faster eventually looking like a ring of blur around you. Go down to the atomic level, and you can now imagine what an electron would do spinning around the core (having no mass) at the speed of light on an extremely tight radius "rope". It'll look like a bubble of fog. Now, if you'd imagine a car passing at normal traffic speed, and you shoot at it, the bullet would pierce the car's door and create a hole, and you can measure and pinpoint that hole's position. If you'd do the same but the car was passing at i/e 10k mph, as the tip of the bullet hits the door it creates a hole, but the car is moving so fast that it moves faster than the bullet can penetrate the thin steel, so as the bullet goes deeper it tears the hole to the shape of an ellipse. Faster the car goes, longer the ellipse would be, eventually becoming a line all across the car, at certain speeds. Now, if you'd a well timed shot towards the road where the car is going at the speed of light (in theory, since cars can't go at the speed of light), you'd hit the car no matter where you shoot cause it goes so fast that it APPEARS to be elongated to infinity, which is nothing more but that line effect I described formerly, basically, that line of tear becomes "infinitely" long from the shooter's perspective. No math used. "It is impossible to understand quantum mechanics." - Well, I refuse this statement to be imposed on me or anyone else due to your own or someone else's lack of understanding and/or imagination.

@@ronaldoquintos1675 Ehhh... This'll bee a LONG one. I wasn't trying to be hostile, wasn't really even angry (not at you at least), my words may have seemed like that, and after reading what I wrote, you have a point about that, however that wasn't my intention so I apologize. My intention was to point out that people have different levels and ways of understanding, and just cause some don't understand some things doesn't mean that no one can't even some famous scientists claim so. I DO understand quantum mechanics and physics (up to a point but deep enough), and you probably do too (it's not really THAT hard), it's just that there are terms that are confusing (as formerly stated) so substitute them with your own. I never saw anything as small as a photon or electron or even atom size, however, I am aware of the fact that just cause you can't see something that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, there are other methods. I/e we can't see gravity but you feel it's effect, you can measure it, determine it's properties etc. That was the point. The attitude "if I can't see it with my own eyes or recorded on camera..." won't get you anywhere. Now, if you are aware of properties of the speed of light, works of Maxwell, Bohr, Einstein etc, you start to get the time-space, and the fact that from the perspective of a photon everything happens instantly, then repeat the 2 slit experiments in two ways: by firing a single photon and by firing a concentrated short stream of photons, you get to see the ERRORS which are NOT data errors but errors of failure to explain the events using proper terms. There's no "universe decided", there's no "uncertainty', those are just failures to define things properly, we simply have no way of measuring the exact position of a photon on it's path from the source to the real wall in the double slit experiment cause it happens INSTANTLY, cause photons move at the speed of light, it's as simple as that. Also, if we'd try to measure which slit was the one photon passed through, we create quantum interference with our measuring devices, thus we can't determine the result. If you use logic and say, ok, it's a wave, obviously it'll pass through both slits and had self-interference, however, that wave carries energy in the form of light, which will be released only "on impact", we can then cover one slit and see that sometimes the light will appear on the cover, sometimes it'll pass through the other slit and hit the wall behind, meaning, there's no "observation" involved, which is another confusing term that suggests that if we'd LOOK, we'd get one result and if we'd turn our head around, we'd get a different result (wave or particle), which is WRONG. Measuring devices are what's meant by observation. There's no collapse of the wave function, (I will speak in pain words even it's NOT a correct way to explain) wave exists, but the energy carried is released in a single spot, you can imagine it as a surfer on a wave. The duality of photons, electrons and other particles is the property that seems confusing, however, if you'd read about packages of energy (there's a great video on how the Sun releases it's energy) you begin to realize that things are actually far simpler than presented. Scientists aren't really good at explaining things outside math, which is the biggest problem one may have, given that one has some basic math knowledge and understanding of the concept of imaginary numbers (mainly sqrt(i)=-1). Multidimensional objects aren't that hard to understand either, once you get past 5th dimension, the number of dimensions doesn't matter anymore (just pay attention on objects that have radius i/e circle, ball etc), it's the same principle just repeated more times, however, going back from 248th dimension to 8th and gauge symmetry is REALLY intense, so I would suggest a pack of headache pills, God knows I needed them (had a headache for 3 days after understanding light speed and time, roughly a week after gauge symmetry studies). I hope we are now clear on my intentions, it's not my goal to pick a fight but to show that ppl need to clear the definitions first, what is EXACTLY meant by them, and eliminate what's NOT first, then concentrate on what IS. IMO any 3 digit IQ person shouldn't have huge problems with basics of QF and QM, only with words used to explain them.

@@ronaldoquintos1675 I mentioned in the long comment: repeat the experiment yourself. You actually can, if you care, there are kits sold for $200-$400, and you may even ask to be present in a college class when such experiments are performed and not spend money.

@@ronaldoquintos1675 I wasn't debating you, I was trying to tell you that QM and QF aren't exclusive to scientists when it comes to a higher level of understanding, and that if you want, you can learn more without some big scare. There are companies that build quantum computers and enthusiasts who follow that development, so, they certainly understand a lot. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't understand or learn about. Try and see for yourself, that's all I'm saying (with some pointers), and that's not QM and QF exclusive, applies to everything. TY for your time and patience.

You know when you check or you have just information :D

@Christopher Michael the emoticon hearts in this are fckn killing me lmao

That’s another lie from the QT theorists. Because you then use two seperate detectors detecting light from each slit. And qt madmen forget to tell viewers that the light from each slit doesn’t give an interference pattern simply because it didn’t have a chance to interfere with any light from the other slit. !! But these quantum lies get unchallenged because viewers think the qt theorists are reliable. They arent. They lie all the time.

Check out Pilot Wave theory. No need to resort to magic (Copenhagen Interpretation), if rational explanations exist.

Until you find out quantum coherence is hard to maintain. Again, the correction: it doesn't have to be an actual 'conscious' observer... I don't know a lot about programming, but for example the rendering of parts of a game only when within that area, is not it is it? Is also that a whole wave function is calculated if there is only one particle? Is that not MORE calculation? These particles have the inverse: you observe them and there is less complex information going on after the wave collapse... then they lose the wave function calculation and act classical therabouts. So instead of the game character wandering around as we expect in a program.... instead the whole game is rendered but the character removes the area they are in into a blank void...except there are difficult situations to arise at that point

@@impact0r maybe. It seems it went out of favour, but it would seem the simplest. Copenhagen isn't that magical...just random? (that is the one that does NOT use magic to explain the randomness.) Many worlds and simulations are.

​@@jorgepeterbarton Random = no causality = magic. Copenhagen Interpretation is build upon a logical fallacy called Argumentum ad Ignorantiam: "We do not know the cause for the phenomenon, therefore we know there is no cause for the phenomenon (ie. it is truly random). It does not make sense to me how prominent physicists can be OK with a "theory" which is indistinguishable from a basic logical fallacy.

Mark Gohl Yeah ebay has some really cool stuff, I found some pretty neat electron microscopes a little bit ago.

+CockatooDude Not a common item. Last ones I saw where on pallets and wrapped in plastic. Looked quite a job to put it together. Kind of interesting but outside of my price bracket. If you are interested in the photomultiplier I suggest you get the data sheets via Google. There are many types differing in the spectral response and sensitivity. It will mention photon counting on the data sheet if a particular tube has that ability. A smaller cathode and low dark count are highly desirable. One tip NEVER power one up anywhere that is brighter than a darkroom. It will be instantly destroyed. If they have been in the light they need several hours in the dark before the tube will settle down.

Mark Gohl Well I much appreciate the information and will try to remember as much as possible. But I am afraid my interests lie in different places, which I find fascinating, but which may appear more mundane to others. The most complicated thing I need for my current project is a turbocharger bearing from a truck motor, and a hobby jet engine ignition system, because I don't feel like making my own. Sorry if this makes it seem like I wasn't interested, because I was, but an experiment like this isn't something I feel that I could repeat reliably. But I digress, sorry for the ramble.

Hey man, what’s your thoughts on the double slit experiment and whether Quantum Field Theory offers a more accurate explanation than the Copenhagen Interpretation?

Dear brothers and sisters, I have solved the problem of particle to behave like particle and wave, when observed and unobserved respectively in double slit experiment. "Particle physics based on real dimensions of space-time" [Volume 09; issue 10; 2022] - arcjournals - International journal of advanced research in physical science - Open access for free download. To think, how the electrons entering the slit knows whether an observation is made on it or the detector is switched ON/OFF and change its results (pattern on the screen) accordingly, is the confusion. This even led the scientist to wonder if quantum mechanics is a future deciding factor of human life. The answer is simple, the experimentation has to include the observer such that observer is equal to observing object together undergoing one of two results at a time. One may think, it is like surrendering oneself and cease to think anymore. No, it is not so. I have published a series of papers (totally 9 nos.) on "Theory of Singularity". Hope this new proposed study serves one fundamental for general relativity and quantum mechanics by solving incompatibility between them. [Volume 10; issue 03,04; 2023] - arcjournals....thank you

It doesn't know, it's just because any time of measuring involves physically altering the environment of the particle. It doesn't know inherently, it's just because you change the conditions. The statement "particles behave like particles when observed and as a wave when not observed" might lead to a common misconception. The behavior of particles in quantum mechanics is more accurately described by the concept of wave-particle duality, which means particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties under different conditions. The term "observation" can be misleading because it implies a human-centric perspective, but in quantum mechanics, it's better to think of interactions with the environment or measurement processes. Even in the absence of a conscious observer, the interaction with the environment causes the transition from a wave-like superposition to a definite state, often referred to as the collapse of the wave function. So, the behavior of particles is not solely dependent on conscious observation but on the nature of the experimental setup and the interactions involved.

Its called Youtoueroium Quanturium Theory

Reality is not shattered by this, Cirsie. It is a simple mistake from the start. It comes from the wrong categorization of quarks and other particles, which, if properly categorized, should have solved this problem in the 1980s. The problem is that we do not have Maxwells and Newtons today.

@Kargadan Yes I see. But if the universe is infinite you need infinite cpu power but every coder will implement a failsafe. And the best failsafe would be infinite -1 (low resolution texture ergo wave function of particle)

@Kargadan omg

Or maybe if the universe was simulated they could make such a universe that when a civilization becomes advanced enough to observe things smaller than a certain scale our tools would not work. It would take significantly less processing power to do so. Why would they allow us to observe subatomic particles, for example? We already had accepted at one point that atom was the smallest block of matter everything is made out of. It would take exponentially more power to simulate a quantum mechanical universe compared to one where atom is the smallest block of matter. So maybe this is not a simulation?

These matrix jokes are starting to run rampant. Any simulation needs a reality putting it together, the way our supposed reality works it can't sustain a simulation of the very same thing. We can make something of an illusion using hollow 3d objects and draw distance. You can only do so much with 1's and 0's tied to metal conduction. Funny enough an IDE can generate logic that is more versatile than real life logic, much like the human mind. Maybe in a reality outside of our own which is holding ours as a simulation it is all possible through logic that works beyond gates and linear connections.

The reality is that we are all made from a spectrum of frequencies. You cannot see all spectrum of frequencies but you can see the spectrum of light and year the spectrum of sound frequencies. We have thoughts because thoughts is a form of frequency which gives you the ability to imagine. The location of your imagination has limitless speed and far beyond the speed of light. When you close your eyes, your thoughts are linked to the entire spectrum of frequencies which allows you to visualize in your brain which are all linked to all existence instantaneously. Anything you can think of exist in the universe, another dimensions & nature. The universe & nature is a huge place far bigger than our thoughts. Therefore, if you can imagine of something, it exists. Yes, we are interconnected with the entire universe and beyond because everything breakdown to frequency itself. The resonance increases to form a higher level of frequency and it keeps on doing that indefinitely. The only force that brought everything together is "gravity". If a person is born blind, deaf and paralyzed, then the only thing the person can utilized to communicate is through thoughts. Which is a spectrum of frequency that our brain could recognize/detect and that we are still trying to understand it. That person will have no clue what existence is but in that person's mind, he/she could still imagine. It's a pure form of imagination because the person's mind was never bombarded with the outside world.

Yes, it does affect them if you shoot them intermittently or with extended time gaps. But over time, as they accumulate, you'll end up seeing the wave like characteristics but the pattern appears much less clear than if they were all shot in quick succession. It's a good question, and the answer showcases even more how extremely sensitive the double slit experiment is to experimental conditions.

Pilot-wave doesn't get enough love, and it has a pretty tight explanation of double slit!

Exactly, pilot waves yo

I'm a little rough on it, but doesn't pilot wave theory fall to Kochen-Specker? It stands uo to Bell's theorem, but didn't Bell prove later that to make it work relativistically you'd have to alter it to give up the deterministic nature that made it so attractive? I'm hoping he gets into those topics later. There are far too few places online to find a reasonable explanation of the stuff beyond Bell's Theorem.

Well, the experiment is often conducted in a vacuum, so I would rule "air" out of the equation at least. :3

There is no air (but even perfect vaccuum is full of fields and virtual particles). You should not move the wall were the results are "printed", as otherwise the accumulative efect will be just smooth random dots. You could in theory change the wall for another new wall per each photon (not easy to do in a vaccuum, and it will be expensive as shit); then adding each position per wall into a computer to graph the results. [It will be the same]. It is easier to think on this by adding aditional dimensions outside time [were the ghost/shadows of each wavefunction can meet and interact with all others that passed that localized region of space through the entire history [past and future] of the universe (almost all of those will be too weak to be relevant).

Take a piece of paper and make two very thin slits through the paper (the small, the better the interference patterns you get), and, in a dark room, flash a light at the two slits (the two slits should be less than 800 nm apart for best effect). You should get an interference pattern. If the slits are small enough (and you use sun in a dark box with slits, INSTEAD of a flashlight, you get a rainbow interference pattern! You can also just bob two rubber balls over a smooth surface of water (like a lake) to make the interference waves, but light is so much more fun!

@@GamerMinecraftivity So? I like science experiments. And I would prefer to keep this chat science- oriented anyways.

It was about all particles also exist as waves simultaneously. In the experiment, individual photons were shot through a double slit. The photons produced an interference pattern even though they were fired individually. When they tried to determine which slit the photon went through the photons formed two bands instead of an interference pattern. The act of Observing a photon changed it's behavior.

smoke a bowl of chronic. makes total sense.

you should listen to Dr. Robert Lanza...this just takes from his work lol. He pioneered pluripotent stem cell research and applied it to medicine. Saved countless lives. He now immersed himself in physics and his theory of biocentrism is academically fulfilling.

Actually in the world of coding this is called "lazy evaluation" where you don't bother to find the exact answer until just before you need it. That way you don't waste time calculating answers you never end up using. If ever there was an argument that we are living in a simulation, this is it. I know if I was writing a simulation I'd be using lazy evaluation as it would significantly reduce the CPU time required to run it!

+Vink But at the end of the day, does it really matter whether this is a sim or not? No, merely existing is all that matters.

scientists have already proved were not in a simulation by bouncing particles around and doing a few calculation, no I have no idea what or how I just read it on Wikipedia a long ass time ago

+madscientistshusta Because Wikipedia is a totally reliable source... o.O

+Vink That's fascinating, thanks!

Woah lmao

Luckily I totally understood that and find it quite interesting.

The second one. Unfortunate title is moderately click-baity. :

Well, more like broke the understanding of reality. If anything breaks reality and has support of theory then it becomes the new reality instead, our understanding of reality that is anyways

+Arnab Biswas if I didn't know about this experiment, did it break my reality?

Well, maybe not only that. Reality is the set of real things. This wave of possibilities act "beyond reality" because things are not only non-existent or existent but have a range of posible states in different intensities. I wouldn't say break reality but break existence. But yes. Maybe is just a semantic issue. Sorry for my english (I've sounded like a new age moron)

+GloveSlapnz I think when were talking about a scientific video, you can assume "broke reality" means it broke the current understanding scientists had. I hate clickbait, this video isn't clickbait. It literally broke the understanding of reality

Nailed it. Give this man a Nobel Prize!

In QFT there's a buckyball field, but it's not fundamental, it's composed of actual fundamental fields like the photon field.

+gareth dean so basically that means there are all kinds of composite fields, which is just another way of describing pretty much anything non-fundamental, including matter

i hope you're not taking that from the 'fundamental' platonic solids where the dodecahedron was the cosmos. Its just that the smaller something is, the more likely that the current model of the quantum ever-permeating field will oscillate in such a way as to affect it. aka: small things are waves and probability functions until we force nature to choose one position (ie we make a measurement)

***** Would that mean that consciousness created the universe? That it was here before what we call reality?

is that why my soup's all over my lap? i just thought it was a glitch in the system...

A good summary. However you can get away with a lot of other things as well if you "Don't think about it too much."

Tahmid Islam lol, yeah, but this is awesome and kinda fundamental, so you kinda have to think about a good bit of it. But for other bits, you can just say "screw it, a wizard did it!"

+SangoProductions213 Describing why a physical phenomena happens with "because reasons" is only possible in Quantum Mechanics XD

"This is like all other patterns of probability" Strictly speaking that is not true. This becomes evident when considering entanglement. That much is shown by Bell tests (i.e. experiments testing Bell's inequality). In classical probability if you want to calculate the probability of two outcomes (A or B) you you simply add the *probabilities*. In QM you do not add the probabilities but instead you add the complex probability amplitudes - from which you calculate the probability by taking the mod squared of the amplitudes. That's fundamentally different to how bog-standard, classical probability works.

Yes, yes, technically. But this is in layman's terms.

Sounds great, until you realize that the double slit is not even a quantum mechanical system (it has been explained as early as 1801 with classical physics). Then it becomes clear that PBS Spacetime is mostly bullshit. ;-)

@@schmetterling4477 so then.... Explain it better? Tell me what I can do to learn more? Or do you just think telling people they're wrong without really elaborating makes you sound smart?

@@headcrab4 Explain what? A classical experiment that Young explained perfectly fine in 1801 and that today is high school material? Dude, did you have physics in high school or what? Did you pay attention? ;-) What makes me smarter than most everybody who makes crappy videos on the internet about quantum mechanics is that I actually noticed that Planck's constant doesn't show up in interference experiments. That and I actually went to the physics library and read many of the early founders' papers. In other words... I did the hard work instead of just bullshitting without having put in any effort to understand what is really going on. :-)

@@schmetterling4477 to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to watch Rick and Morty.

NoneOfYour Beeswax - I don’t usually read RU-vid comments, but I found this video tonight and something drew me to these, and, honestly … I don’t know whether I’m having the funnest night of my life in a long time or whether I’m just laughing to keep the yawning abyss of despair from swallowing me up whole. I can halfway tolerate the “Y’all nerds has got it all wrong, as per usual, me an’ my buddy Hydroseefuss was talkin’ down by the shittin’ shed and light is a solid ‘cause birds swim through it but the darkness pushing it out at night is heavier what to keep these giant face-fucking vampire bats afloat, I tell you what, ol’ ‘seefuss got attacked by one t’other night, ‘tain’t no laffin’ matter!” crowd, they’ve been around forever and, Jeebus bless ‘em, they’re lucky to make it through each day in one piece without oven mitts taped over their hands, but it’s the saucer-eyed “The universe manifests its intelligence to us only in the doses we can handle and conscious photons are its angels!” crowd that has really got me down, they’re the ones telling exurban housewives over hot yoga that the solution to the world’s problems is to manifest positive energy down one’s omphalos with one’s head up one’s fundament. 😕

Brilliant mate. Had me pissing myself.

Well you must've had some idea or you wouldn't be here doing such an accurate impression of a lonely hypocrite, with all of the confidence of an acne scar and as much self awareness as a blind amnesiac. Okay, your turn. Let's see whatcha got when your not taking anonymous potshots at people who don't know it, ya genius, you.

I heard somwhere that yes, it is a blob of energy that spans both holes. That makes sense. Otherwise there will just be a dot of light bouncing off the middle, never getting to either slit or point it at just one slit and it never goes thru the other.

Cool

1) "That medium is the fabric making the space-time continuum" and "this single photon [...] is pulsing the fabric ...": Actually, what you're describing is not light, you're describing gravitational waves - ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself. Photons are waves in the elctromagnetic field, a scalar field which is embedded within or superposed onto spacetime 2) "the fabric of the space-time continuum is everywhere": You are absolutely right, at every point in spacetime, there is spacetime. 3) "Now, waves spread out because not all the energy of the pulse is in the forward direction": Sure, this makes sense for classical waves - they spread out and dissipate over an area. A photon, however, is the smallest excitation of the EM field. It cannob be split, it cannot spread out - smaller waves don't exist. It can only be at ONE point whenever measured. That's why it ends up at a well-defined spot. So how can something that only exists at one spot at any given point in time go through two slits and interact with itself on the other side? The Copenhagen Interpretation says that it doesn't physically do that - the wavefunction is a wave of probabilities, not the particle itself. De Broglie-Bohm theory suggests that the wave and the particle are two separate things - both in existence the whole time, the particle riding the wave. And there are many, many more interesting theories to be read: many worlds, many minds, ensemble interpretation, stochastic QM, just to name a few favorites.

Interesting

BINGO 🎯
