Saying something is "uncertain" is not an answer to any question. Saying something has a point origin at an event horizon, at least makes an attempt at a definitive answer. You might not like the "observer" explanation, but it is a more rigorous definition of reality. "Limitation of what we can know," vs "limitation of what we can measure" is just semantics. It is the same thing.

@TheZone An average atom has a radius of 0.1 nanometers. A solid 1'x1'x1' volume would have something on the order of 10^23 atoms, each with their own wave functions that would have to be nearly perfectly in-phase which each other to produce a noticeable effect from our perspective. If you had a ball of 10^23 tangled rubber bands, how difficult would it be to lay out every single one in a neat grid?

It should be noted, decoherence is often quoted as a solution to why we never see quantum behavior on macroscopic scales, but this isn't the full story. Decoherence is just a term used to describe what happens when a huge quantum system's many parts interact, both with each other and with their environment. Everything gets scrambled up, and the system's parts begin to behave according to classical probability rules instead of the Born rule. What this does model is the emergence of classical statistical mechanics. But there is no mechanism that decoherence provides that explains the quantum measurement problem. As a system begins to interact with its environment, the state of the system, at least in principle, remains stuck is a massive entangled superposition, all the way to the macroscopic level. Interactions by themselves do nothing, according to Schrödinger's equation, to force a system to leave a superposition of states. This only appears to happen (for some reason) once the system interacts with measurement devices. Therefore, it's still an interpretive question, and an unanswered one at that, to ask what the state of the system at large scales.

Thanks for the excellent presentation. Another analogy for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle I like to use is detecting audio at different frequencies. You can easily detect the start and stop of a high-pitch noise, light the "high-hat" sound in dance music. Low-frequency tones (20-30Hz) are so spread out that it's far more difficult to tell where they start in time. In typical music, a bass thud is really a short high-pitch impulse followed by the long bass note to give the listener a better sense of when the "beat" starts. Keep up the great videos!
@jayvaibhawverma
@jayvaibhawverma Жыл бұрын
Nice. That's a good analogy. But aren't the low frequency tones generally pressure waves? Or more correctly, sound vibrations are pressure waves. So, can we consider the Energy-time equation of the Heisenberg's Uncertainty to deduce the analogy you have given? Because I think that Position-momentum uncertainty will become vague for understanding this. What do you think?

Arvin, what a didactically amazing idea!!! I've never seen anything like this before, and such an animation is immensely instructive for looking at the unintuitive wave properties! A tiny nitpick, at 5:50, about the uncertainty principle (UP), it would have been better to say more unambiguously that the UP had been _estimated_ by Heisenberg and _derived_ a few years later; it's simply the Schwarz inequality between conjugate uncertainties in the position and momentum spaces, related by FT-but you know it, whom I'm talking to! I personally know that many physics enthusiasts who try to wrap their heads around QM believe the inequality has been _postulated_ axiomatically, like, for example, the Born rule has. Possibly, the persistent imprecise wording is due to the fact that Heisenberg didn't derive the formula later named after him, as the Stigler's law (formulated and named after Stigler by Merton, naturally) predicts. He only used an order of mag estimation. Too bad we use imprecise “principle,” “rule,” “postulate” etc. in physics. QM is sheer math, with its complex-valued operators and infinite-dimensional state spaces corresponding to nothing in Nature, that, IMO, it would be less confusing-assuming generously that QM _could be_ less confusing-to use “theorems” and “axioms,” as mathematicians do. “Heisenberg's theorem,” “Born's axiom;” no ambiguity :) Owning a 5-string bass guitar with an added low B2 string (~125 Hz), I often use it as an example: if the player slides his finger up or down a semitone, changing the length and thus resonant frequency on this slow-vibrating string, how much time does one need to recover a new note-i.e, the change in frequency? The answer is derived (with a few technical assumptions) with FT and the same bounding inequality on the time and frequency domain uncertainties: exactly 1/4 of the period. It's a warm-up math before the full UP derivation. :)

Re the uncertainty principle: I think that's actually one of the least "weird" properties of "quantum world". Because it's simply an inherent property of all waves, not just the wave function. For example, you can observe a very similar thing with sound: you may have a nice tone, which is a sinusoid wave---so you can easily measure its frequency (wavelength) and that's what defines the pitch. But you can't locate a tone to a singular moment---only to an interval in time during which it sounded. On the other hand, a clap or a gunshot is easily pinned to a moment, but you can't really say what's its pitch; as it's just one sound pressure peak, there's no frequency to it... Same thing.

Thanks (again) Arvin for this video. I always wondered why the double slit experiment doesn't work for large objects, but is does for electrons, while electrons do also interfere with their surrounding. Of course an electron is much smaller than a tennis ball, but is has a charge and mass and even the smallest interaction should prevent an object (electron) to come in superposition. But now I understand that if an object is not a pure wave function because it exists of many waves that are not in sync, it can not be in superposition.

At 9:35 you asked "So these illustrations beg the question, why don't we actually see this in our everyday experience?" That is a misusage of the phrase "beg the question". What that phrase means is to use an argument that assumes the truth of the very thing you are trying to prove. That is clearly not what you meant. You should have said "raise the question" instead of "beg the question".

Thank you Arvin, I love the way you explain very complex mechanisms in a very simple way. But I can’t fully agree in your confidence to say that certain quantum phenomena are not applicable in terms of „magic“. See, I stumbled upon your videos on my search for answers to very real phenomena I encountered and still encounter in my life. In my search I also experimented with qigong, and other spiritual or consciousness practices including breath work and visualization techniques and found out in my experience that our mind is capable of much more and we can influence matter as crazy as it sounds. It’s like muscle that just needs the proper training. What I can say is that through some practices, you start to use areas of your brain as well as body in a coherent way that will unlock certain let’s say sensitivity in your perception which will lead your conscious part of your brain or ego to be able to use and manipulate certain aspects or laws of Newtonian physics. Seeing blindfolded also through solid walls for example is taught in Indonesia as Merpati Puthi to almost the whole population. Through continuous breathwork and meditation you Rewire the visual cortex of your brain to use another information channel beyond your 5 physical senses or the signals of your eyeballs. I encourage everyone to try it out for themselves and scientifically try to find out how it works. I just can tell that it works and that the western science and physics avoid to dive into the topic which is ridiculous. Interesting fact, children learn this ability in a matter of minutes, since they don’t have learned barriers in their mind or trained worldview. My 7 year old son was able to see completely blindfolded right after I told him to look for the “information” in his mind. And before commenting this, just use KZbin and research a little or even better if you live near Utah go to MP USA or watch their videos and the reviews of their students. Thank you Arvin again for your informative videos, I love them! Would love to see a video from you trying to explain just the ability of seeing blindfolded after you learned some of those methods from MP USA. Looking forward for that! 😊

Dear Mr. Ash, First of all THANKS!! At 3:55 min in this video, you state "A measurement is any kind of interaction and is a physical or mechanical process that does not require a measurer (a human) of any kind. " I have not understood anywhere (such as in video's of others) that interference of the measurement equipment has been researched and discounted in the experiments as not being the reason that an objects changes from a state of superposition into fixing in one state. These equipment's must have their own waves (which I understand to be frequencies, such as in light or sound, in the later our sensor - the human ear - is very limited in comparison with animals. I can't see the waves / frequencies of light but my brain is capable to organise the same into pictures. Other question; (at the danger of not having understood your explanations), what is the interest of a wave changing into a single / fixed particle? The function of a wave in (also) quantum mechanics is clear to me, but what is the function of 'a fixed particle'? Your highly valued reaction is appreciated in advance! Warmest regards from Holland, Hans

In the last month or so, I have seen quite a lot of videos on similar topics to this, of which three have been outstanding. Those three include this one.

Very fine lectures there Arvin. Your (and other tutors') theme in quantum mechanics is "probability". Let's sort out this matter of "probability"... Is probability a natural function/phenomenon in the cosmos or its a function/method of human limited mind for getting information?

13:03 Even if we shrank ourselves to the quantum scale, we wouldn't be able to perceive quantum interactions; reason being that first of all, we'd have to reduce the amount of photo receptors in our eyes to 0, and second being that the wavelength of light would have to be too short for us to see with our eyes... (Or even survive, given that air molecules would be as large, if not larger than you; even if you magically didn't die from all the other things you'd be lacking, like your entire body's structure, considering how squished it'd have to be...) Of those two choices, I think it's fair to say that projecting quantum behavior to macroscopic scales is the safer (twice over) bet, however difficult that may be, at least the experimenter would survive. ultimately, I think it's better to continue on the general path we're already on, where we improve our detectors, and have them do the observing for us.

I heard of the example with polarized screen shades that explain quantum tunneling but never with the finger prints on the inside of a water glass. Interesting would like to know more

As a student of physics I was addicted to your channel, especially quantum mechanics . I have a great curiosity from longtime to know about your qualification I mean in which field of physics you studied so that you motivated to make such amazing and elaborate explanations even though professors don't gave such explanations ;if you interested pls replay...

Again about the double slit experiment, from about 1:03 to 1:18 In case of tennis balls (macro objects) most of them hit the first wall, but in every animation (not only yours) all quantum objects always go through the slits. That they don't hit that first wall, is either a wrong animation everywhere, or to me the most incredible feature of the quantum world. However, at about 9:00 you mention that "some might bounce of the wall, but most would go through the slits". Because the slits have to be very narrow (of the order of magnitude of the wavelength of the quantum object) to get an interference pattern, I would expect almost all would end up on the first wall and only a few make it through. Is the quantum world really that weird that simply having two narrow slits in a huge screen will make (almost) all quantum objects go through these slits instead of hitting the screen?

Most will go through the slits if aimed there, but some will not.

@@ArvinAsh Thank you for taking the time to answer, but it raises new questions. So, contrary to the animations (again, not only yours), they aim at one of the slits, not in the middle between them? Then it makes a bit more sense, that most get through, although it seems to me, the second slit also becomes less "relevant" that way. And then, do you really get an interference pattern on the wall, symmetrical in the middle between them, not shifted in the direction of the slit they aimed at? Maybe the slits are actually much closer together than the animations show? By the way, of course I really appreciate all the videos you make!

Thank you for another fascinating video! I 💗 your channel. Thank you for mentioning the subtle point that we are all subject to the laws of quantum mechanics. The same laws of physics are universal. It's just that quantum effects are too small for us to notice at our scale.

My question... is QM weirdness needed for the universe to be as it is? IE if sub atomic particles behaved like a classical object, say tennis ball, would the universe still work?

This is the first time I have understood why large objects don't act like quantum objects. I was stuck on the idea that it must be a perception problem of different scales of existence but your wave function interference cancelling each other makes sense.

Isnt the first analogy wrong that you "see" four students sitting on four chairs beacuse "seeing" results in measuring?

Correct. Superposition is nonsense because you can't measure a particle being in two or more places at the same point in time.
