You've heard about quantum entangled particles?
Yes.
Where I can create a pair of particles that know about one another and that they're separated in space and in time.
And if you observe that other particle,
it instantly changes the state of the particle back.
The other particle that's back where I am.
And by the way, they communicate instantaneously,
faster than the speed of light.
When you say if you observe...
but you have to do something.
You have to do. You have to. Yes. So something has to interact with. It's not woo.
The problem is the word observed people thinks is a is a psychological thing.
But in physics, it's got nothing to do with...
It's a measurement. It's a measurement thing. Right. And so, in other words, if we're measuring if there's a if there is an electron sitting in the middle of this table and all the lights are out, I can say I think there's an electron here. Let me find out. And the moment I turn on the lights, the light interacts, a photon interacts with the electron and kicks it somewhere else. So the more I try to measure its position, the less I know its position.
Ooh!

[@starsreflectingsky]

This is true and every time I revisit this topic I have new questions about how they test things and you just need more videos. Hehe I need more videos. For instance with the dual slit experiment. If you watch any of these kinds of videos they will all say that if you measure the photon at the slit then it no longer acts like a wave. Going along with that thought process though is also that when you measure the photon or electron or whatever that you are hitting it with energy which is the measurement process But that leads me to having a question about if I am detecting the photon before it goes through the slit then how is that particular photon still getting through the slit? I have interacted with it by adding energy to its system but somehow it's still getting through. So it doesn't stop the journey. Detecting a photon does not end its journey even though when it hits the wall that is also being detected and that does end its journey. I'm not saying that I understand but those parts of the experiment don't get as much explanation or clarification and they rightfully should have more so that regular people can try to understand better. I think part of the problem is that these videos cause regular people to have a very simplified understanding of just how difficult it is to do these experiments. Measuring a single photon or electron is not a walk in the park. Lol

[@eredaane4656]

People who do not know anything about quantum mechanics/ physics/ chemistry, they think if "observe" as "to see something". The problem with that is, these particles are way to small for us to see them, so we prove their existence by interacting with them, and since we can interact with them, they must exist and from that interaction we can gain information about for example their size, "charge", speed OR position. That is an "observation" and the reason why, whenever we try to observe quantum mechanical particles such as electrons, they become more and more difficult to describe "unscharf" (ger.). By observing them, we make the informaiton we gained a thing of the past, since its already changed because we observed it.

The beauty of quantum entanglement is that some particles become linked somehow, and we may not know it or be able to see it, but they communicate and affect each other. We are made of particles and so we are all linked, somehow, and sometimes we feel unexplainably attracted to a place, or a person or a thing.

Finally someone who explained it well. It’s about the delicate interaction between elementary particles. It’s the measurement. By doing a measurement you adding energy to the experiment. Not the misleading word “observer”, that lead someone to think about the human mind influence/consciousness.

[@kuriousQuing21]

Bro the act of measurement is literally the act of observance. You cannot measure without observing. And who is measuring?? The human consciousness- AN OBSERVER. How are these two concepts so difficult to grasp in their unity is so mind boggling to me. People will doANYTHINg to separate spirituality of our consciousness with scientific quest that they forget the entire universe is first and foremost spiritual. It is literally magic. Have you seen how crazy it is up there? How did we even get here? Why are we here? The very question of the “why” is phenomenally magical. If you can’t unify the two then you are looking at one side of the coin and calling it the only side when you KNOW coins have two sides. Measurement IS observation. You CANNOT measure without looking at the damn thing first. Looking at it and expecting some kind of probable outcome IS the act of trying to measure it. Switching on the light in the room to see where tf the election is, IS observing it. You cannot observe in the dark can you? The only way to observe is to LOOK AT IT. You can only look at it when you create some circumstance like switching on the light to observe it.

[@JO-mg6xc]

He mixed entangled particles with Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which has NOTHING to do on how to measure the position. It has to do with the intrinsic impossibility to measure anything with 100% certainty ( the operation is not commutative). Not because of the instruments, but due to a natural limit.

My favorite thing is that scientists have been trying to disprove that entangled particles can communicate faster than light and so far that's proving to not be the case. Everything to this point is showing that they are somehow communicating and distance is not a factor.

I heard about this a while back. I am totally freaked out by this.

[@lunahri4173]

A good way to imagine it (i believe i read it in one of brian greene’s books) is: Let’s say you try to observe a fly, first you attempt to measure it’s position in your room. The more precisely you know it’s position, for example with an extremely good camera, the more the fly will look static. You know the exact position, but it seems not to move, therefore you cannot know it’s speed at the same time. It looks frozen = 0 speed. Now you do another observation, focusing on it’s speed. The more accurately you measure it’s speed, the less you can tell where it actually is since everything around it will be blurry. That’s one way to explain this principle, hope it helps :)

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

@@lunahri4173 - thanks for the explanation. It is not that I don't get it at a fundamental level. The mechanism through how particles become entangled, i can't begin to fathom. What weirds me out is how two particles connect by what ever force allows the spin, they can be separated by space and time and still subject to the effects on each other. Totally weird. The theory as I understand it predicts that the entanglement is instantaneous through space time, right? So this force isn't just faster than light, it is infinitely faster than light. Like a particles can reach 13 billion years into the future or across 13 billion light-years of space to affect the spin of its entangled partner. What is up with that?

[@EvoArtsLLC]

I can entangle through correlation any objects, it's easiest shown with playing cards

[@silveribis55]

Firstly: the particles have had to interact with each other first , then can be separated by any distance, supposedly! Secondly: when you do observe (take readings of) one of the particles, it's 'entangled partner', wherever it may be, surely would be opposite! Particles have what we call states....and what state or it's character such as spin, charge...so when you measure or observe one, and it has say an upspin position the other one surely will be downspin. So it's not like the particles are communicating as such, it's just that one will be opposite to what the other one will be. Then goes on to speak of particles being somewhere then when observed they move or disappear 🙄...he's talking about not being able to pinpoint exactly where every particle is in the famous double slit experiment (can look it up) and instead it's only the most probable area percentage of where it may land....and turns out it does a wave function...so that's how we know they can be both a particle and a wave at the same time. 😉

[@huzaifasajid6830]

I agree with your first point. I too am unable to understand what's so fascinating about quantum entanglement. Can it not be that the information is stored in the particles when they first interact and later on, when you read one, you know the state of the other. Secondly, I think he suddenly switched to hiesenberg's uncertainty principle about measuring the position or the momentum of a particle. I dont know how or why that information was necessary for explaining quantum entanglement.

Either way some specialists in the field of particles and quantum physics always say, once you think you understand it, you don't know quantum physics 😄...which I think is so true.

*explains quantum entanglement* Me having even less understanding and more questions: 👁️👄👁️

[@oneworldonecrew7433]

He just explained humanity...to put it bluntly.

[@manueluochoa7239]

That sounds like they aren’t communicating more existing while the maker is the observer and other observer is part of the plane of the maker. They move instantaneously because they are connected not necessarily faster than light.

[@damienpeters5275]

So in other words the partical is pretty much running away from who and what is observing it?

[@earhustler2639]

Can I get the short bus version of this please?

[@abinashborah8524]

The video felt incomplete. He was explaining Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

[@robinmitchell6803]

Saying that it communicated is somewhat wrong. Instead it’s that both particles already have a state when together and retain that state when separated. This is why you couldn’t use this for FTL communication

[@seanspartan2023]

The instantaneous communication is what bothered Einstein, and is still debated to this day.

[@joshuabrookshire2842]

Einstein called it spooky action at a distance

[@JenniferZerbe]

It's the same as the instant i understand is simultaneously instantaneously when I don't.

[@09spidy]

I learned about quantum entanglement from Mass Effect 2.

[@rolandorodriguez9625]

How can nobody here is mind-blown by the fact that a particle can affect another particle separated by space and time. That's sci-fi stuff, almost paranormal stuff being discovered.

[@Inamatsuri]

So how can you know about something that changes when it's being observed when you can't observe it without it changing?

[@mrboejangles9135]

My tongue must be a photon....

[@claytonwason3488]

But have chaos long enough it becomes symmetry and in that you can track it

[@leannblack1286]

Omg I love how u explain things. I've been learning how to do this. But didn't understand what was happening... I'm full of joy now... Thank u.

[@confusedcaveman6611]

This reminds me of the double slit experiment

[@agustinoliveros38]

That particle Was here just now

[@small_dropin_the_big_ocean995]

He is talking about Heisenberg Uncertainity Principle in later half of this video. When I read it in my high school physics book, I was surprised how little we are in control of the task of "observing a little electron accurately and realistically". We affect the events or objects around us at the mere act of observation at microscopic level. We can never observe the particle without affecting it.

[@vanillaglue]

Observation = interaction. Not just merely looking at it with our eyes as conscious observers.

[@small_dropin_the_big_ocean995]

@@vanillaglue Where did I say it's not?

[@noah2123]

But what if the things you use to observe and measure are smaller and don't effect the target?

[@STONECOLDET944]

All units of quantised spacetime are " entangled " to each other by a limit sized plank ER bridge, that's how information conveyed and transmuted as entropy, that's what vaccuum entanglement is when they refer to it in lectures

[@floofsale]

Neil: "so when you turn on the lights to look for the electron..." Joe: "boo!"

[@itsROMPERS...]

Entangled particles can be separated by space, but they aren't separated by time, NDT is wrong. They are in the same time, otherwise they wouldn't be entangled, entanglement is by definition a simultaneous relationship.

[@eme4289]

How do you know that the 2nd particle has changed since the act of measurement also changes it. What if your measurement has changed it.

[@TC38Cole]

Lynne McTaggart covered this (and several other fascinating science things) in The Intention Experiment.

[@bhakti235]

They don’t communicate, they are part of the same system
