Hello Aperture !!

[@shanmukh747]

Hey Mike, I really liked your previous video on Black Panther. So happy that you made a case study on that character. You did point out the practicality of the existence of that story world very well. I just wanna encourage you to make more videos on that topic. It can be a segment for your channel "Understanding Superheroes". My simple advice, try to lean more onto the psychology on these superheroes, and more importantly... why do we need them, what do they represent. NOT in terms of political or identity representation. For example, Spider-Man represents responsibility. Batman represents vengeance. Superheroes have been gaining popularity for years now, yet so many people are experiencing something called "superhero fatigue". Maybe it's because there are too many superhero movies out there, maybe when comic writers create such characters they don't bother why we need them... of course, they're comics, they're just for fun, in a little magazine. They don't mean much. But they're still stories. And some stories can mean a lot to people who love those characters. Especially when these celebrated characters are on big screen. But this doesn't change the fact that the world's experiencing a fatigue right now. Some of these revered characters are losing their value. If only someone like you could make the world understand the brilliance and the importance of these characters, outside the scope of the movies, tv-shows & comic books (Movies and comics can sometimes bring down the value of these characters).

Weirdly enough (call me crazy) not too long ago, I had a gripping feeling of this. My 15 year old daughter and I had just ran through the rain into my car. Within seconds, there was a massively bright light produced by a lightning bolt, that completely enveloped both of our vision in its entirety. Literally a pure white flash, to which I couldn’t even see my steering wheel 12inches in front of me, briefly. We both looked at each other in awe, before I spoke without even thinking “I feel like that lightning just killed us, and we are now continuing our lives in a parallel universe” To which she replied, “can that really happen?” I didn’t answer with words, I just answered with perplexity on my face, as I put my car in drive and continued with “this life”

[@jamespogi1072]

Well I think schrodingers cat just illustrates that an event may or may not happen unless we provide any measurement or observation. Same in. A quantum mechanics it means that there are two atoms a pair that can be anything at the same time unless it is observed or measured that is called superposition, basically from what I know it just means that everything in this world has a pair(subatomic level) that have different states. Thats where the many world theory comes from. For example ur overthinking about ur partner cheating on you. Well unless you are there to observe what she/he is doing you wont have a definite answer thats where u participate in many world theory. It is suggesting that she/he can be cheating on you right now and at the same time they’re not at the same time they may break up with you right now or they may not so basically there is infinite possibility on something but unless we observe it we wont know for sure and even if we did observe it we dont know if maybe somewhere in the universe a different earth that is the same as we have same people same person you and ur partner the same but one of those outcomes happens in that world or all of those outcomes happens in all different worlds.

I think the Schrodingers cat experiment was meant to point out the limitations of current quantum mechanics ideas since in reality a cat cannot be both alive and dead simultaneously. It has an actual state in the box that has yet to be observed

[@alexgetta4304]

no, look up superposition, the cat is literally both dead and alive yet upon observation the universe 'flips a coin'

[@stemcareers8844]

@@alexgetta4304 My understanding of the topic is that Schrodingers thought experiment was explicitly intended as a critique of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. He refers to the experiment as an absurd situation and its intended to raise a few questions, like at what point does the system change state and what should count as measurement or observation. When thought about on a macroscopic scale (i.e when thinking about cats) many assumptions of quantums mechanics fall apart. Cats can't actually be simultaneously alive and dead. Even Einstein himself critiqued quantum mechanics by asking does the moon cease to exist when you stop observing it. He considered it to be an incomplete theory. Bohr's interpretation of quantum mechanics posits that the cat reaches a final state of either alive or dead _before_ it is observed and the act of observation just let's you know the state. From a mathematical point of view, it isn't assumed that the cat is _literally_ both alive and dead simultaneously but rather that there is _equal probability_ that it is either alive or dead and you dont know which until it is observed. In other words, once you observe the cat you know for certain that its either alive or dead and before that you make assumptions about the probability of what state it's in.

When you start to abandon basic laws of logic, you can be sure that whenever you use the abandonment of them as a base for your theories, you will be wrong. It is absurd to claim something can both be and not be. It is impossible. It doesn't exist and cannot. Somebody cannot be tall and short, by definition. Something cannot be 800kg and 10kg at the same time. A cat cannot be alive and dead, at the same time.

A young friend told me a question for a school exam was what would you do if you had no money for a relatives operation, would you rob a bank, or let the relative die? I was horrified that a school could ask such a thing. It suggests that you only have two choices, when in reality you can find other ways to rectify the problem. Same goes for the thumbnail conundrum. If you use your brain, you will find alternative strategies.

[@RGC_animation]

If the rob a bank option involves no risk, simply meaning I will do something unlawful, then absolutely I would do it to save my relative.

[@RickyisSwan]

@@RGC_animation That’s not really the issue I was talking about. No one should be forced into that choice. In other words people could get a second job, borrow some money such as a mortgage, or from a friend. There are too many ways to list them all, but I am saying that people have more choices than those two that you’re referring to. I for one would not break the law, and I would fight tooth and nail to come up with a better alternative. That is what the school should be teaching people, that there are more choices than the two that they gave them Where would we be in any country if they were the only two choices given for such a scenario? It’s insane that they are not teaching people to overcome such obstacles by different means.

[@RickyisSwan]

“If to rob a bank involves no risk.” Don’t think you are living in the modern world. Forensic techniques and other methods make it a high probability that robbing a bank means you will get caught. This is aside from so many other problems that could go wrong, those who commit crimes have the same mentality that they won’t get caught, while they contemplate this behind bars.

Small correction, Schroedinger did not create his thought experiment "to help us understand quantum mechanics", it was the exact opposite. He didn't like the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and he was trying to explain why he didn't like it with the experiment. He felt that by showing that under the interpretation you could come up with really silly, ridiculous results, it implied a flaw in their understanding at the time. Macroscopic systems like "a cat" being in a superposition defies all rational experience of the world as it exists. Of course, we know now that the Copenhagen interpretation has more or less held up under scrutiny and is still the most commonly taught interpretation of quantum mechanics today. It's one of several great ironies in physics that Schroedinger's example is used as the most basic, intro level explanation nowadays. I THINK he eventually came around on the Copenhagen interpretation later, but it's been a long time. Maybe someone else knows for sure. We do know Einstein, in a similar position (He was in fact the creator of the ERP paradox that Schroedinger was responding to when he came up with his own counter thought experiment of the cat), regretted his criticisms of the Copenhagen interpretation towards the end of his life, and Schroedinger died later than Einstein.

[@edwin5419]

In reality, Schroedinger's Cat is silly. The cat is either dead or alive. Just because you don't know which it is, doesn't change that reality. It can't be both alive or dead. It's a measurement problem, not a reality problem.

A lot of thought experiments have no basis in what real events are actually like, but I suppose they can be useful to illustrate a point.

My answer to the first question is that the clone would be slightly different. It would need time to process the way I think because it is very hard to comprehend one's thought in their perspective, no matter how accurately close you are to understanding what they are saying or describing to you. To an artist, their painting has much more meaning to it than the mountain most people see in the background of it. This is because of their unique perception of reality versus the observer's perception. It varies from a slightly different to a very different way of viewing something or someone, so a cloned version of myself would only be slightly different, but the difference probably would not be as noticeable.

Clones wouldn't have the same finger prints, do nothing at the train tracks cause I could never be a murder.

Amazing content, thank you for making these great thought-provoking videos.

I left work once and had a very strong impression of dying by suicide in my car in my garage by attaching a hose to the exhaust and having the other end in the car with me. I thought about mycwife and kids I was leaving behind and knowing they didnt give a shite about me and only saw me as a resource. I remember thinking that life could've been different if I came out as gay but never had the strength to. What was weird about this that I came out as gay, never had a wife and kids and don't owm a car. I felt part of me slip away in death and KNEW another version of me inva parallel reality had just killed himself. It was sad and I felt sorry for him and wished he'd made other choices in life so that he wasn't living in tbe nightmare that killed him. It was all rather sad, weirdly poignant and felt like I'd lost a brother I never knew I had.

What if our lives are a thought experiment ?

[@ApertureThinking]

Interesting thought.

[@SMSharesLife]

@@ApertureThinking thanks man !!

[@Rox_EU]

I love this type of video.

[@MichaelJohnsonAzgard]

If they cloned me exactly as I am, then I would tell them that duplicating my MS is a waste of science and we should bring back the pitchfork and witch burning days.

[@Skizzors]

“What if the world exploded” I just killed billions

[@craftcrate6602]

there was an unsettling vibe throughout this whole video.

[@gaurav.raj.mishra]

If I somehow got the train to drift, I could take them all out 🤔

[@rispatha]

Having a cloned body one would think that any scars you have from injuries would not be on the clone so therefore all one would need to look for are scars since those are not genetically inherent. Same could be said about any broken bones that have healed.

Shroedingers cat is decided if it is dead or not before the univere was created, my opinion

[@stoikusu5084]

I would save my son. Not a selfish decision at all.

[@ixion_cyb]

Same

[@GioDrago]

great thought video :)

[@nerd9347.]

Deep, man! You’ve got a valid point, though. I believe you’re describing “The Holographic Demiurge”.

[@FlipTheBard]

These experiments of "sacrificing one person or a group of them" makes me think that people are too closed minded. Because they see only two options when we all know there is a third one. Sacrifice yourself to stop the train rather than sacrificing others. Sure, not an easy decision, but it's just as a valid.Yet people get stuck in this dilemma and forget that they themselves are also an option.

[@ekf5018]

I'm curious though, how do you sacrifice yourself in that scenario? If you jumped on the track in front of the train it wouldn't stop it from hitting the people further down the track

[@FlipTheBard]

@@ekf5018 Yes it would, the same way it would if you let it hit one person.

[@stevenscott2136]

I promise you, your body will NOT stop a train. I've seen a train drag a crushed pickup truck several hundred yards. The only reason it stopped there was that it had its brakes on the whole time.

[@FlipTheBard]

@@stevenscott2136 Well then, the whole experiment of "chosing who to pick" is moot and there is no reason to pick either. Let it up to luck since it won't make a difference in the end.

[@indigomarine91]

The correct answer to the train experiment is to do nothing because the situation really doesn't have anything to do with you to begin, you didn't tie those people up or start the train. If you do something you're the one that's kind of killing the people and you will know whatever you did you could have did it the other way so the other people didn't die. if you do nothing then nothing is really your fault.

📌 🔴Is it possible to get a heart from aperture 3:30 this is one of my shower thought 🔥 but instead of two worlds i thinks of infinite world for infinite moments in infinite events, and we left with the one since we act to choose 1 particular moment out of infinite moments in a particular event out of infinite events in 1 particular world out of infinites And it goes on and on for every single moment of every single event and every single world #let's see aperture could understand our shower thoughts or not, just as we do

[@jeetkotedia]

Watched the first 30, seconds, murmured 'oh shut up' to the video, and will now close it

Eren on Trolley Problem: *tatakae*

[@isaiahjohnson9905]

A barber shaves everyone in a village who does not shave themself, and does not shave any that shave themself. So either the barber lives in a different village and shaves themself or lives in the same village but goes to another barber to get shaved. alternatively, barbers tend to work in small groups, hence if that barber gets shaved by another barber from the same barber shop, one could say that he gets shaved by someone else within the same barber and he shaves that barbers hair as well. Which is why he has all whom do not shave themselves coming to the barber, since they have much practice from each others hair.

[@LandofOzOfficial]

I would say ... "Well that explains a lot"
