Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God. Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

Precision measurement is the true heart of all modern technology. Without the ability to standardize things to a point within an acceptable set of parameters, no industrial process would be possible. It's mind blowing to learn that the starting point for so many things is the ability to create a genuinely flat surface. I can't remember which video it is, but Destin from SmarterEveryDay had a conversation with his dad where his dad described how one would go about creating a truly flat surface using natural materials. Our species went from somehow figuring out you need 3 stones abraded against each other in a specific order to manufacturing things that exist on a molecular scale.

Might as well focus on the 1,000.00 vs 1.000,00 difference, or the 4-magnitude writing system that Asia uses (123,456,789 vs 1,2345,6789) for all it matters.

Hey Derek! I've spent the last 20 years researching & teaching Quantum Physics at Stanford University. I must say, it gives me immense pleasure to see you pick up an interesting & complicating topic and then break it down into simple & comprehendible language! Great work!

I am a software engineer. But i really hate my job. Just love the science behind semiconductor and chip making. My friend who works as a senior designer in Intel loves explaining the works he do. Just a question, I have pretty average IQ. Does it take a genius of some sort to dive into Quantum world?

This is perhaps the most down to earth and personable scientist you’ve ever had on. He reminds me of my constitutional law professor back in uni. Laid back, intelligent, open, but yet very serious about his craft.

Precision measurement has always blown my mind. Usually physics documentaries just casually mention an amazing measurement related to a broader topic and never explain how it’s accomplished or how the process/tools work.

It's interesting to contemplate what has to go into every single component of a device that measures something like this. When you're balancing something on a wheel, the precision in the wheel, and the precision in the bearings, etc. have to be on a level that boggles the mind.

Oh man this guy loves measuring stuff. And I love him for it. I know there's lots of comments here already about how awesome Dr. Shaw is, but I felt the need to express it myself. The way his face lights up when Derek asked him if he *made* the 10 ug weight, was a joy to see. I will never pass up an opportunity to listen to people talk freely about their passion. It's always fascinating to see how rich and complex literally any topic can be. Thank you for sharing this with us Dr. Shaw and thank you Derek for always finding great people to talk to and taking you with us.

As someone who studied and graduated from mechanical engineering, there is always something that can be improved. I do think it’s an asshole thing to say that my teachers and professors could have done better, when I appreciate them making me what I am today. I’m sure that’s not what you meant by it, but it’s the same energy as the juvenile child who says “if only school was like this”.
