This is the best video to watch on the internet rn. Look at his smile when he talks about all the experiments! Big fan sir!

[@blueskies792]

This is one of the best videos I have watched on this stuff for a long time. Thank you!

[@AlexiHusky]

This is basically a prime example that you should never take any thing as a hard-fact. If someone says it can't be done, they may not have all the info. Always try, you may have different thought processes than the last guy.

This channel is one of the best for QM

[@shijiechai9780]

brilliant, thank you, professor

[@assambinturong9612]

Great scientist 🙏

[@Yphrum]

This is ten years old?!

[@anteconfig5391]

is this the same thing that's used to trap ions for studying quantum computers?

[@katiemccormick7127]

No, since ions have a net charge, they can be trapped in other ways. Look up Paul traps or Penning traps to learn about trapping ions.

How many atoms can one "lump" of BEC contain to date?

[@kuanliangshao5997]

The number density should be around 10^8 cm^-3

professor looks like Tom Hanks

My comment on "Sixty Symbols" channel on their "Nobel Prize for Black Holes" video: "Black holes don't exist. It's invisible bose-einstein condensates (BECs) and jets. Singularity=energy jet emitter. Blackhole=energy vortex absorber. www.technologyreview.com/2009/06/10/266570/acoustic-black-hole-created-in-bose-einstein-condensate/ www.seas.harvard.edu/haulab/slow_light_project/ultra_slow_light/ultra_slow_light.htm www.seas.harvard.edu/haulab/publications/pdf/Slow_Light_1999.pdf www.nature.com/articles/srep40122 www.sciencealert.com/matehmatical-model-of-cold-dark-matter-bose-einstein-condensate-stars Slow light=>"even light can't escape" Do "blackholes" have a powerful magneto-optical trap at the "event horizon" ? I think so..."
