Lecture 1 of Leonard Susskind's Modern Physics course concentrating on Quantum Mechanics. Recorded January 14, 2008 at Stanford University.
This Stanford Continuing Studies course is the second of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on quantum mechanics. Leonard Susskind is the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

I am so incredibly grateful for Stanford putting this course online FREE for anyone to watch, truly doing their best to make education possible for anyone on this planet with an internet connection. I'm a sixteen-year-old kid from the Netherlands and I can not imagine any way I could have gotten this good of a way to learn physics, had I been born even two decades earlier. You are genuinely fueling the next generation of physicists. Thank you.

if that were true they wouldn't be one of the most expensive schools to attend. also knowing the materials means hardly as much as being accredited in the real world.

As an engineer who has always been passionate about math and physics, I was intrigued by modern physics, despite neither relativity nor quantum mechanics were part of any course syllabus at my university. I remember I used to binge-watch Susskind's lectures online.In fact, I studied these subjects on the side and found them really inspiring, I would go as far as to say that they gave me a novel perspective on life itself. That prompted me to create some online courses on Udemy on Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, special and General Relativity. It’s not my job of course, but I love talking about these topics while using some mathematics for “intuition”.

(4) It is that degeneracy which produces the interference pattern As soon as one hole is identified (howsoever that may be) as the preferred hole, then that symmetry no longer applies. Then the degeneracy is removed from the corresponding solutions to Schroedinger’s equation. So there is ipso facto no interference pattern.

As a chemist I dont learn equation very well if i dont have a reference point to the initial consept. I need the whereabouts of the math. He is explaining well where the different equations come from and why they look like they do. This is the way i learn things. I would like to see this kind of lectures more :)

I can't hear the question in the video at around 45 mins in but based on the answer I think the question is something like "The slit apparatus has a momentum itself. By conservation of momentum, any momentum ('kick') transferred to the electron will be compensated by an equal and opposite momentum applied to the slits. So the slits themselves are a measurement instrument of sorts. How can an interference pattern be observed if the electron, in passing through the slits, is being measured?"

Based on (E=ˠM˳C²)∞ the Lorentz contraction of space and time is between the energy and mass. The greater the energy the greater the contraction of space and the slower time will run. Mass will increase relative to this and each ref-frame can be seen as a vortex in space formed by the rate that time flows. C² is light radiating out in all directions forming a sphere that can be squared to form the future probability. The brackets represent the boundary condition of the ref-frame within infinity!

Teachers don't spend enough time on the particulars of the slit experiment. What EXACTLY is used to measure the photons on the back screen? What EXACTLY causes the slight randomness of the photons going thru ONE slit? Is it the frequency shift of photons coming out of the "laser", is it the human error in designing a perfect laser shooter? Is it the photons knicking the inner sides of the slit? And then in the advanced notion of the slit experiment which talks about measuring WHICH slit the photon goes thru, which alters the results (from quantum mechanical, back to mechanical expected results), how is the slit-choice ACTUALLY measured, perhaps the device is affecting the result? Also I think the fluid physics dudes should always chime in on slit experiment presentations with talk about carrier-waves, which after many many decades STILL hasn't been proven wrong. Physics teaching is so bad, and so one-sided, new students get bad education, thinking they know something, when in fact due to being presented the questions and solutions wrongly, the education system has actually created a barrier for those trying to ADVANCE human knowledge. If teaching sometehing, do it right, do it completely, and spend some actualy time on it, rather than trying to get to a pre-determined endpoint.

These may be of help explaining : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_interpretation but in regards to why there is slight randomness when a photon passes through only one slit - it is essentially that the photon may glance off of the side of the slit at an angle, but this does not interfere with the experiment as a whole, otherwise you would not see a clear pattern but a complete mess. As for human error - this would be shown in further experiments, altering the effects of the experiment (remember a theory is basically a 'we can't disprove this' kind of idea, not the first thing that comes to mind, but the last idea that would suggests the results (see Plank's constant for a good example of an idea that became a theory because it explained the results). The results in the double slit version are recorded by flashes indicate the photon has hit a certain part of the plate - now this does bring into play the observer effect, from which you need the Uncertainty Principle - but the device itself is not affecting the result anymore than a TV can affect the result a football score. Hope this is of some help -though I do add I am just a lowly spectator in all of this, lol

TenHanger: Photon-Multipliers are used to detect the Photons, no one knows why it is based on probability. Basically Quantum Mechanics can predict how things happen; but doesn't explain why they do happen in the first place. They have the capability of firing a single electron at a time through the slit, but where it lands is still not predictable. I have been studying this a long time as an hobby and I still cannot tell you why we even have discrete orbitals around the electron and what sets their distance from the nucleus. We have advanced so far in science; yet the most basic of questions seems to raise questions and uncover gaps in our knowledge. If something cannot be explained by words alone without some complex equation thrown in I don't trust it, the beauty with Einsteins Relativity is it could be explained by analogy; everything we do in science should have such an analogy; "So up above, so down below" to quote ancient wisdom.

Some physicists still debate that very question. Originally Einstein and some others argued that a particle does have a definite position and momentum, it is just impossible to actually measure both of these properties simultaneously with complete certainty. However, Bohr and many modern physicists interpret the uncertainty principle to mean that momentum and position are indefinite, and experimental evidence like quantum tunneling tends to support this interpretation.

+Seth Yellin What are his achievements in theoretical physics? I am not trying to criticize him, I really don't know. I think I'll look him up on Wikipedia, b.1 / 1 / 1940. I am not in tune to the descriptions on Wikipedia, of brilliant peoples achievements. It is to complex for a special person like me to understand.

@SashaSmiles2013 good question. im a Ph.d in physics. Step 1. Smoke a large, but not too large joint and watch carl sagans cosmos. Thats mandatory ! the room should be darkly lid, but not so dark that you cant find your cola and chips - trust me. Cosmos is very long, so dont see all of it at once. Step 2. while you watch it keep a pen and paper near and draw things - birds and stuff - but also write down names and equations used in the show - look em up on wiki .. 3. buy cliff notes.
