TEDxTalpiot - Avshalom Elitzur - Too Beautiful Not To Be True

Avshalom Elitzur takes us deep into the riddles of Quantum Mechanics, and shares his recent discovery, the Quantum Liar Paradox.
Avshalom C. Elitzur has earned his PhD under the supervision of Yakir Aharonov. He is a member of Iyar, The Israeli Institute for Advanced Research. The Elitzur-Vaidman bomb-testing experiment, listed by the New Scientist magazine among "the seven wonders of quantum mechanics," is the single experiment in physics' history that makes one smile.
Elitzur's research spans over quantum measurement, Special and General Relativity and the nature of spacetime. His Spacetime-Dynamics hypothesis aspires to attain theoretical physics' holy grail, namely, unifying Relativity and Quantum theories. It describes the quantum interaction as preceding the emergence of the spacetime region within which it "occurs," thereby, hopefully, better accounting for the relativistic and quantum oddities of mass and energy.
Elitzur's other papers include novel contributions to evolutionary theory and to philosophy of mind. He also writes on environmental and moral issues.

A wonderful dissertation, how is this man not more famous? I’ve been searching for more videos of him and have not found as many as I hoped

[@BDB78]

Amen to that! Like you, I’ve been seeking him out now for a week and can’t find much on him. He is such a brilliant mind!

[@robfut9954]

@@BDB78 yeah, the mainstream minds are everywhere but he is hard to find. I’m assuming he disagreed with somebody powerful at some point or something weird. He really deserves more attention

this is a WOW talk because in a very short talk he managed to explane QM to me in clear form and even make it sound interesting!

[@user-ky5dy5hl4d]

The stunning paradox is that it was not Einstein who was the discoverer of E=mc^2. Before Einstein was born it was Samuel Tolver Preston and in 1093 the Italian Olinto de Pretto published E=mc^2 two years before Einstein did.

[@itaisegre]

i was there!!!!!! hope it will happen again... this was the most interesting talk from all the event...

[@tokajileo5928]

this is 10 years old , was the experient made or any explanation of this paradox?

[@sciencefordreamers2115]

Absolutely awesome! Loved the Einstein mentions too.

[@erawanpencil]

Well, have they done his proposed experiment yet??

[@moonglow482004]

Very interesting. Thank You for sharing .

[@docerex]

Does the experiment from Eli Megidish, Hagai Eisenberg confrim the thought experiment?

[@naimulhaq9626]

Does the Elitzur-Vaidman bomb-testing experiment imply QM can explain how effect precede cause?

[@saikiranalvala502]

Nope...

[@saikiranalvala502]

It proves superposition... Quantam eraser proves what you said
