YES! Finally someone who uses parenthesis! So many people leave them out. As a mathematician, I love that you used parenthesis when you wrote trig. Even text books annoyingly will write sina+b. Is this: 1. sin(a)+b or 2. sin(a+b) Which is it? Plus, trig (and logs) are functions. As such, they should have functional parenthesis as found in f(x).

Quantum Light (h) is a dualistic quantum particle that in the cosmic vacuum can fly at a constant speed (c=1). In this movement, light uses its linear spin and it does not produce electromagnetic waves. Light behaves like a corpuscular. But light can behave like a wave if it uses its angular rotation (the torque required to accelerate angularly around the axis of rotation). In this situation, the speed of the light is faster than the constant. The speed is c>1. This situation is explained by Lorentz transformations. The problem is that we do not know the geometric shape of the light quantum.

Every bit of matter and radiation in the universe follows the laws of quantum mechanics. There is a near endless amount of variety in those phenomena. What you will never see are particles (I hope you know what a particle is in physics) and waves.

This is truly a stupendous explanation, the best I’ve ever come across yet. No other presentation made it so clear that the crux of the probabilistic (Born) interpretation of the electron’s wave function originates in the relationship between the intensity of (any) wave and the square of its amplitude. If one doesn’t know that (from classical physics) the whole thing remains somewhat mysterious. That “analogy” was the theoretical leap in De Broglie’s mind that really needed highlighting, and you do just that. No wonder that Einstein himself was awed by De Broglie’s insight. It was then a matter of dotting the i’s and crossing thet’s for Max Born to add, almost as a post-scriptum: Oh and by the way the square of the amplitude of the quantum wavefunction Psi represents the probability of finding the particle if we look for it. Thanks for this very pedagogical and enlightening exposition. All teachers of physics and the students they teach will be able to benefit from it.

The wave-particle duality is an attempt to shoehorn the phenomenon of matter waves into the classical mindset of solid objects. Physicists are unable to accept that there's no such thing as particles, so they insist that field disturbances somehow are particles or have particle-like properties when they interact with each other. A more natural interpretation of the data would be that quantization is a property of whatever mechanism underlies interactions among fields, not of the fields themselves. In other words, matter is a collection of spin waves in the vacuum and is quantized only indirectly, through localized interactions.

There are numerous interactions, so why does one set take precedence over the others. In other words, one could draw wavefronts is many different directions, 28:00 The electron orbitals are simply three -dimensional harmonic waves.

Huygens is an approximation, so is the level of homogeneous, isotropic (or in case of bi-refringence polarization dependent) Maxwell optics that we are teaching at the university level. Are you complaining that we aren't throwing thousand page textbooks on the most general case of classical light-matter interaction at high school students???? Why? Do all students in high school need to learn how to write a CGI rendering engine that can correctly render a pearl? What for? So they will learn to hate science even more than they already do? Electron orbitals are not "simple three-dimensional harmonic waves". You may want to talk to a fellow retired chemistry teacher about that. If his students write that sentence in a test, he would have to fail them. :-)

You did a decent job as far as what we see in our textbooks. The math and model of Quantum Mechanics (QM) is: a probability wave predicts a particle-like event. There is a problem with that. A variant of the double-slit experiment is the beam-split coincidence experiment. In the language of QM and photons, a photon will go one way or another, but not both ways, at a beam splitter. This has been done with visible light and x-rays, seemingly in support of QM. This is the weirdness of QM. What would eliminate the other path? You can see in my published works that quantum physicists are either looking at noise or are doing tricks with polarized beam-splitters. With much work, I performed that beam-split test many times, but in a way no one previously attempted: with gamma-rays and alpha-rays (helium)... hundreds of times and ways. When I compare coincident detection rates with the chance coincident rate, I substantially exceed chance. QM predicts chance would not be exceeded for this test. This flaw of QM is my discovery. There is a way to re-interpret past experiments to see how an accumulation effect and a wave model is at play. For example, people should know that Compton also had a wave model to explain his effect. The conclusion is that a threshold effect can replace quantization. The weirdness disappears. All the details of my experiments and theory are at www.unquantum.net

Brilliant work, I have followed many of your videos and having a srong knowledge in electromagnetics, Maxwell, Stokes, Poisson divergence, gradient, vector potential et al, I could understand 100% of your expose on Schrodinger and Heisenberg equations. Remarkable way of leading the explanation you never loose sight of the relevant points although there are plenty of details. Thank you for your great work!!

Wave/particle duality reminds me of a statement found in a Buddhist philosophical context: "The very sameness is the very difference".

1:50 It almost sounded like you said "Other Greek philosophers, most notably Euclid and Ptolemy, used *radar guns* quite successfully to show..." and yeah, having those back then would probably have made understanding light a little easier!

I was mostly able to keep up until Einstein showed up. After that I found it harder and harder to understand what was going on and after my eyes glassed over I had to give up. Seems like a fantastic explanation, it's just not meant for plebs like me, I think.

The history of wave particle duality ends around the early 1930s. Everything thereafter is merely ignorant people repeating a falsehood because they don't know better.

It does not take 43 minutes to dispense with the historical error of "wave particle duality". Rather, as the legendary Soviet physics educator Kompaneets said, photons are particles, but it is their *dynamics* that are wave-like. Wonderfully, this one sentence is enough to clear up a lot of confusion when trying to solve physics problems involving light. Feynman, great educator that he was, did not quite put it as memorably and succinctly, but after reading his classic www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_01.html several times, I am convinced he was in complete agreement with Kompaneets.

Thomas Young created that slit experiment over 200 years ago to solve the wave particle debate and here we are today still not sure what light is ,wave or particle,he is one of my favorites , i read in a book about light,it said the thought himself to read at age 2

Hi, your videos are great! I'm always looking forward to more. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to get people interested in physics to know about your channel? I noticed your channel is fairly new, but you managed to get good viewership quickly. I just started a physics channel too, but I don't really know how to get people who might be interested to know about it. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Here is the SIMPLEST of experiments (double slit). In my view, so far quantum mechanics does not fully explain what is happening. I think we as humans are missing what is really going on.

Pythagoras came up with the idea that's ultimately how raytracing in computer graphics works? As some context, usually when raytracing in CG the rays that simulate the light goes backwards, from the view or camera, hitting surfaces, reflecting, and tracing to the light sources before all the contributing factors combine to set the colour of the corresponding pixel for that ray
