First reactions | Anton Zeilinger, Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 | Telephone interview

"It's probably one of the most beautiful theories ever invented.” - Anton Zeilinger conveys his love for the elegant simplicity of quantum mechanics in this call recorded shortly after the public announcement of his Nobel Prize. “With very few symbols”, he explains, “you can explain a whole lot of things from the smallest quantum particles up to the origin of the universe.” Zeilinger emphasises that the news also sends a message of huge appreciation to all the people he worked with, and ends by introducing Adam Smith to the strange and potentially useful world of quantum teleportation.

A Nobel Prize very well earned. Congratulations from a physicist who has been taught by someone who coauthored several paper with Prof. Zeilinger.

[@chad8767]

Well deserved! I highly recommend his book Dance of the Photons; read it before I had decided to try university and it explains quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation very well. And I really enjoyed how it explains in pretty good detail all the experiments his team was doing in this field and how they set them up.

Can I ask what age you were when you considered attending college?

[@lesley1831]

For those who wish to become quantum physicists tomorrow, this could not be a greater day for the field itself. As far as I've read about Anton, he's truly accomplished in this field and it is beyond inspiring to have such a curious role model paving this path for tomorrow scientists. Can't wait to hear more about him! Can only imagine the honour to have him as a professor.

The humility he has ... In his voice. 🙌

[@ADAMBLVCK]

Respect and bravo! These short calls are wonderful btw!

[@hakantomasoglu6836]

congrats prof. zeilinger and all of your fantastic contributions to that field.

[@AgnimitraSutradhar]

Passion oozing from his words when he started talking about his work😀

[@shaipshiverya1944]

Congratulations🎉👏🎉👏listening to these interviews in night really take me to another place,it feels like my senses are lost.I literally don't feel I am in my own room right now.. Thank you for your efforts nobel prize.

[@elyornosirov2745]

congratulations.Hard work is pays off!

[@ahmphamuladib13]

Congratulations 💖

[@BKD321]

We'd a great conversation @ Technion during the Wolf lecture on 13& 14th of June. Prof. Zeilinger has a pleasant personality.

[@sciencestudent21]

Congratulations sir 🙌💙

Sounds like this could open doors for quantum encrypted messages and currency which we are all in much need for these days

A frequent question. If modern physics is so wrong, why does it work? Firstly, to answer this question is that if you are a modern physicist, I am certained that you actually “do not” understand modern physics. Please do not tell me that you had work on modern physics the “rest” of your life since you may “not” know where modern physics developed from. Because modern physics was developed from Einstein’s 4-d spacetime continuum, which is “not” a physically realizable paradigm. Secondly why does some of that modern physics work? The answer is that; those modern physics work does not violate the law of nature [e.g., 2nd law of thermodynamics, law of temporal (t > 0), law of conservation energy, law of entropy]. From which we see that it is those principles and theories that contradicted the physical realizability (i.e., boundary) conditions of our universe. For examples, Einstein’s relativity theories, Schrödinger's super position principles, Dirac’s anti-matter, Feynman’s QED, Hawking’s Black hole, Wormhole time-traveling and others.

Consider the following: a. Numbers: Modern science does not even know how numbers and certain mathematical constants exist for math to do what math does. (And nobody as of yet has been able to show me how numbers and certain mathematical constants can come from the Standard Model Of Particle Physics). b. Space: Modern science does not even know what 'space' actually is nor how it could actually expand. c. Time: Modern science does not even know what 'time' actually is nor how it could actually vary. d. Gravity: Modern science does not even know what 'gravity' actually is nor how gravity actually does what it appears to do. e. Speed of Light: 'Speed', distance divided by time, distance being two points in space with space between those two points. But yet, here again, modern science does not even know what space and time actually are that makes up 'speed' and they also claim that space can expand and time can vary, so how could they truly know even what the speed of light actually is that they utilize in many of the formulas? Speed of light should also vary depending upon what space and time it was in. And if the speed of light can vary in space and time, how then do far away astronomical observations actually work that are based upon light and the speed of light that could vary in actual reality?

Charles, your task before the end of 2022 would be to: - Take a course in Real and Complex Analysis (Math) - Take a course in Gravity at graduate level (Physics) - Take a course in Analytical mechanics (Phyiscs) After taking these, you'll be equipped to think about your comments without any sceptical and ignorant flair ups rooted in misunderstanding and discomfort.

Matter doesn't exist. "Matter" is just an idea in consciousness. Consciousness is all there is. For more details, see my papers, like for example "Meaning and Context: A Brief Introduction".

[@7amamodp651]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hisokabeatbox9053]

I read your paper, it's pretty boring and sounds like a 12 year old wrote it

[@kommzumiraufdiearchenoah7540]

Consciousness is all there is... hmmm... that is quite not right 😃 - just because you didn't yet find THE truth

[@mrcollector4311]

I think referencing Bernado Kastrup's work Analytic Idealism is better especially his book, collection of his published peer reviewed papers from multiple fields, The Idea Of The World
