But I think the bigger problem is simply because the "reality" isn't something that really is observed, we're simply told "here's the math that says this is how reality works but we can't show you that it's working" is a hard concept to swallow. I remember taking quantum mechanics as an undergrad and in grad school and it largely felt like all I was doing was math problems with no real connection to reality. Also don't recall any experiment told to us about experimentally recording the position of an electron multiple times to actually show those "electron clouds" other than computer simulations. Now I have seen experiments done with a 2 slit experiment where you can actually see the electron interferes with itself as it goes through either slit (both slits at the same time/wave nature), but other than that nothing of evidence was put forward. And IMO that is a big problem with any type of science, the whole "trust me, this math is right your perception of reality is not"

You do not localise the electron or the photon when you measure them. What you're localising is the interaction with measurement device. When you use a thermometer or an infrared camera to measure the temperature of a macroscopic object, the effect of that interaction on the measured system's temperature is negligible when compared to the desired precision. This is not the case when measuring quantum phenomena. We do not know how to make a measurement with negligible effects on the measured quantity. The electromagnetic radiation has a wavelike cyclic behaviour, the interaction energy is what is quantised not the radiation itself. Hense the non local properties of certain interaction like a "single photon" interfering with"itself" or "two entangled particles" instantly reacting to "each other". Non of the quoted expressions are meaningful. What we refer to as "a single photon" is the minimum quantum of energy that produces the emission of electromagnetic radiation which behaves the same in a double split experiment as radiation with larger energy.

I have an idea to simulate the double-slit experiment for electrons. Using tennis balls to simulate the electrons, is anyone interested in doing such a simulated electrons’ double-slit experiment? The double-slit is made of tennis balls, and you will shoot tennis balls through such slits. A tennis ball hit through this slit will collide with balls on its borders. Consequently, the direction of balls coming out of these slits differs from theirs entering it. You may also move the tennis balls on edges randomly and periodically to simulate the distribution of electrons around nuclei. I expect you will produce the so-called interference pattern. Of course, most balls that go straight through the middle of the slit are unharmed. The double-slit experiment for water waves fundamentally differs from a similar experiment for electrons since an electron is too small to compare with a water wave. The edges of a double-slit made of atoms may be continuous and even smooth to a water wave for its long wavelength. However, to our electrons, the similar edge is not straight and sure not smooth due to their tiny size. So, I guess that electrons passing a slit will interact with the electrons on the edges of a slit. Since the electron’s distribution is dynamic, these interactions differ from electrons and time, and their accumulated efforts eventually produce the so-called interference pattern. Of course, photons’ double-slit experiment and their so-called interference pattern are the same.

Detecting an electron halfway through a transition has a 50% chance of being seen as the old state and 50% chance of being seen as the new state. One third the way through the transition is 33/67, etc. The transition is also very fast. Also, trying to measure an electron during the transition might result in the electron being disturbed.

It's not a jump. It is an emergent event. The electron exists not as a ball but as a cloud (of probability) around the nucleus. That cloud takes certain shapes based on harmonic oscillations at each "orbital” (better is envelopment). Just like what was shown on the ring, the shapes manifest as discrete forms at each discrete envelopment level. There is no continuous transition taking place whereupon one shape transitions (morphs) into another (at a different orbital).
@nathanoher4865 Жыл бұрын
@@raeStrong Yes, but the process is not instantaneous. As the electron releases energy in the form of a photon, it simultaneously moves to the lower state. The electron loses a specific amount of momentum to the photon. By E=pc, the massless form of E=mc^2, and conservation of energy, the loss of momentum is a loss of energy. Because the electron now has less energy, it is no longer stable in its current orbital. Think of orbitals as specific shapes, and electrons orbiting atoms behave more like waves. That shape is not stable for a lower energy wave, so the loss of momentum “swooshes” the wave into a different shape, which is a gradual process (very fast though).
@nathanoher4865 Жыл бұрын
@@TheChzoronzon The jumps are not instantaneous. The evolution of an electron through time is given by the Schrödinger equation, which is continuously différentiable for all finite potentials. As the electron behaves more like a wave when captured by an atom, its state necessarily changes gradually. The amount of time that the transition takes is inversely proportional to the energy lost/gained. In natural units, it is apparent that for the transition to last one Planck time, a change of one Planck energy is required. I’ll let you infer how much energy is required for a zero time transition. What you may be confusing it with is the measurement of the electron state and the electron state itself. We can only measure an electron’s energy at discrete values because during a transition, its energy is not well-defined. It is only well-defined once it has settled into a stable state. In-between states are definitely possible, but they are unstable, which is why we cannot measure an electron as being in those states. Also recall that by interacting with the electron, which is required to measure something about it, you disturb its evolution through time; can you then see the slippery slope that implies that measurements are instantaneous?

It is important to appreciate that there is something physical vibrating (that is the particle that contains mass). The mode of vibration or oscillation is simply the trajectory of the particle. It is the trajectory that describes the standing wave. So, to be clear: the particle is not the wave, but it is traveling in a trajectory that is wave shaped. If we measure the position of the electron the wave disappears because we have intercepted the motion of the particle.

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube. I've spent so much time trying to understand this stuff, and nobody every gave such a simple concrete explanation. Thank you. Now here's a question... What about a free electron, not bound to a nucleus? Must it also exist in certain discrete energy states? Or is it free to vibrate at whatever energy level it wants?

This is the best practical analogy that I have seen. Thanks for all the amazing content.

Superposition is the natural state of matter. Any time matter is unbound it exists in a wave or cloud-like state. Electrons exist as a kind of electron-cloud because of this. They exist in equal probability points where the probability is equally likely for an electron to be at one point as it is at another, existing, essentially, at all such equal points simultaneously. This continues until something alters the electron or atom as a whole, such as molecular bonding or ionization. I postulate that the "big bang" may have been the universe stuck ENTIRELY in such a cloud-like state until there was one point that reached a 100% probability, forcing the clouds of improbability to collapse and release a TON of energy while doing so.

Fantastic demo! I've seen mode changes with sand particles on a vibrating drum but this one was unique and even more illustrative of point particle physics.

What a great analogy. Having done mechanical engineering I get how structures have resonant frequencies and I can see how the ring has resonances at certain frequencies. But to use this as an analog for electrons is just clever.

I am just going to post this first before watching the video. The electron is shaped exactly like the thing designed to carry it. The Red Blood Cell. It is a catenoid just like the top load on a Telsa coil. Just like the electron it is a Toroid! There I said it now, I will watch the video.

everything is a toroid. There's a reason why they appear literately everywhere you look. Even the words coming out of your mouth wrap around the air toroid ALLY

A nice analogy. Well done and well explained. Indeed it is not complete if you doesn't explain the uncertainty principle.

Drop particles onto the ring, they will bounce differently off the nodes, giving you an enhanced visual..

I've a Ph.D. in physics, and I must say your analogy is a very good example of quantization of energy of an electron orbital, using an ingenious resonant device we can see clearly. Keep it up!

This is so informative. I studied that Electron also has a Wave Nature but never saw it practically. Thank You

This was such a helpful intuitive look at orbitals that I made sure to listen to your sponsor spot and let the video play to the end. That's saying something these days on YT I think.

I love your videos, you explain things in a way people can understand. I have been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now. I especially love your atom and electromagnetic videos. have always been fascinated by these two subjects.
