Secrets of Quantum Physics, "Let There Be Life" 4k

Can quantum mechanics explain the greatest mysteries in biology? Physicist Jim Al-Khalili turns his attention to the world of nature for answers.
Professor Jim Al-Khalili reveals how Einstein thought he'd found a fatal flaw in quantum physics that implies that subatomic particles can communicate faster than light. The host of "The Amazing World of Gravity" and "Everything and Nothing" shows how robins navigate using quantum entanglement, how our sense of smell is touched by quantum vibrations, and how physics might play a role in evolution.

I love Physicist Jim Al-Khalili, I wish he'd been my teacher at college!!!

[@nomandad2000]

I really enjoyed the music, but all the talking is really distracting….

[@HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

Dr. Jim Al-Khalili is a gift to mankind! His intelligence and his ability to communicate outshines, anyone else in his field! 🙏 I am so thankful and feel so lucky to be able to access his knowledge and learn from him, through his videos online!

It's so cute that he describes vanilla as "baking with my daughter"

[@greathey1234]

That's a great documentary

[@kidmohair8151]

in the decade since this was made there have been further steps taken in relating the quantum to our daily lives. in particular the proposition that ideas, inspiration may be the result of our perceiving ripples in the quantum fields we are constantly awash in.

[@brightphoebus]

[@Vitiuxa]

Well done. Thank you one and all. Best wishes. 🌞🤸🏽‍♂️🖖🏼

I wonder if quantum mechanics could allow for the seemingly deliberate process of the origin of life - abiogenesis. The way the "exiton" finds most efficient path to the target, by trying all paths simultaneously, but then collapsing the wave function in the exact location which is desired by the exiton, suggests that this quantum event is a "deterministic" process after all, and implies purposeful intention on the part of the exiton! For there should be no determining factors according to current models of quantum mechanics, that can dictate where or when a particle's wave function might collapse. The exiton wave function however, collapses in the desired location, keeping a real goal in mind of not wasting precious energy. It is a deliberate path taken which represents a true conservation of probability and entropy, seemingly requiring free will, and is reminiscent of a thinking, conscious, goal-oriented being or awareness of some kind, if I may.. How does an exiton wave function keep in mind a target destination, a goal? That seems quite intentional for a quantum wave collapse which is supposed to be modeled as a completely random process having no intentional outcomes. If an exiton takes all possible paths and then "chooses" the most energetically effective path, while reliably and consistently denying any collapse of the wave function over any of the other paths taken, then we must consider the possibility that this exiton has some primitive awareness about itself and its purpose. It must be considered that even all quantum wave phenomena would have some primitive awareness and does so "choose" when and where to interact with any classical object, thus collapsing onto their desired destinations in every scenario, that location being purposefully "chosen" by the wave function itself, in order to reach some goal for some purpose that serves some primitive awareness of the wave function. This idea of quantum primitive awareness and intention can more easily explain how life started on Earth and the almost-impossible temporary reversal of entropy that would have been required for abiogenesis of life on Earth. If there really is some mechanically guided, and controllable process that is guaranteeing the desired destination of an exiton's wave function collapse, then this is probably the most profoundly overlooked realization in the history of quantum mechanics, for it suggests there is indeed a deterministic, hidden-variables type mechanism which can allow for goal-oriented wave function collapse over a specific destination, rather than always a randomized probabilistic destination.

Damn you coming out with all the video today I see

[@sntk1]

This just in from Oxford: This immediately suggests that perception is likely more than simply the binding of molecules to receptors. This is where the additional depth that quantum mechanics could provide comes in. As to all that, see: “Are Perceptual Fields Quantum Fields?”

[@piehound]

Clearly yes. Perceptual fields are quantum fields. Since the quantum paradigm is everywhere present.

One of my very favorite maths teacher, maths is such a complicated language, trying to understand it is still... mission impossible. There are mysteries of the Holy Creation how come we have a human conscience? Someone wanted us to have it and it new what is this about.. all human nature is based on conscience.. on having the responsability of the own actions, on being conscious... there are so many secrets to find out, gifted professors are very helpfull indeed. I am watching often these episodes on TV seeking for answers mostly. ..where evil is coming from? Is it a bug? A bacteria? A virus? A DNA mutation? If human specie have the sense of love, of passion, of affection, why evil?

[@jamesmalcolm4601]

The chlorophyll/exiton process is the same way a thought/intent process manifest your desires ,dreams prayers. When you write your ideas down speak them and picture it. The quantum level goes through all possible scenarios to find the best way to give you your desires and subconsciously leads you to do things that make that path a reality. That's how dreams come true. Proof that you create your reality by picturing it but with the help of quantum wave weirdness. Go make your dreams now!

[@waynearnold1072]

Please, Explain time. Why do we say time passes slower or faster depending on your location and/or movement within the universe? Could it be it's just the measurement of time is different? Scenario: Calculate a future spot in earth's movement through the solar system and pinpoint it. Now pick three spots within the universe to observe the earth's movement until it reaches the calculated spot. Observation location 1 is NIST laboratory in Boulder Colorado. Observation location 2 is our moon. Observation location 3 is an orbit around the sun at near light speed. Now have all 3 observation locations start recording the passing of time at exactly the same time. All three observation loctions would stop the time recording when the earth landed on it's previously calculated spot. Would it be illogical to say, the physical amount of time passed for each observation location would be the same? Could it be that the recording device used to record the passing of time showed differently, but the physical amount of time would be the same for all 3 observation locations? Does it seem reasonable that what we need is a way to record time with a device that can account for its location and movement within the universe, so that the recording of time passing is equal on all accounts? The earth will move through the solar system and reach its calculated spot in the future in its due time. It won't be early and it won't be late. It will be right on time according to the calculation. Why would we say the passing of time is different for the 3 observation locations?

Absolutely. 👍

[@sonarbangla8711]

QM isn't a theory, but a set of principles that doesn't add up to a complete theory, complained Einstein. How the probabilistic nature of reality turn into determinism is explained by Maldacena who conjectures 'error correcting QC function' will be the complete theory. Mathematically it adds up, but without the infinite axiom algorithm. He is searching for it and I believe he will get us there. Susskind provides a finite gate quantum circuit.
