How do 3D glasses work?!

  • Have you ever thought about what kind of optics those cheap plastic glasses use to make movies 3D? It has to do with circular polarization of electromagnetic waves (otherwise known as light). The physics is actually pretty cool.

    Oh, and an answer to your question. I haven´t forget my 3D-glasses to theater, but I have forget my wallet in a kiosk that sells popcorn etc in a lounge of a theater. A friendly young woman run after me inside of theater and refused to take any reward about that. That event had a serious consequences.. we went to marry and now we have a son. This is true story. Had to add this here.

    How can you do everything so interesting and explain it so simply? I have understand, you have been a teacher? Why oh why we didn´t have teachers like you in my school-days!!? I´m from Finland and our school-system is praised to be so advanced and student-friendly. Bull... When I was at school I was about to get weary every day. We spend hours and hours learning something very simple and then practice again. Now my son goes school and really nothing has changed. There are levels, but as I fill out the initial form I told that he can read and write. What happens? He goes to group that is learning to read and mathematics were level 1+1=3. It took 2 months before they find that out and were really sorry that he was signed up in a wrong group. What does that tell about our educated school-system? I really really wish there was teachers like you. Man, You Rule! Hmm.. could you make a video about holograms, how they really work and what happens in quantum level? Thank You for this super-interesting channel and please, keep up the good work! (sorry about this long story).

    I have "accidentally" forgotten to return my Real 3D glasses on many occasions. This is mainly because I "accidentally" figured the glasses were part of the price to see the movie, and I don't trust them to not "accidentally" give me some glasses that were used and possibly has someone else' lice or other contaminant on them.

    • @OvidiuHretcanu
      @OvidiuHretcanu Před 5 lety

    I didn't know we were required to give back the glasses. I just walked out with a couple pairs, and nobody said anything. But then I give the rest back because I don't want any more. Do theaters actually care if they get them back?

    • @tisebi14
      @tisebi14 Před 6 lety +2

They can range from $10 to $30 a pair, depending on what projection system they use. You probably just lucked up by getting lazy ushers. SHAME ON YOU!!! I've still got two pair....

  • @A011TheSecond
    @A011TheSecond Před 6 lety +2

    Hey, Nick. I was wondering if you could explain something that I genuinly can't seem to properly grasp;
    Hawking Radiation indicates that black holes eventually 'evaporates' and vanishes, due to all the mass being gone.
    How does Hawking radiation escape the event horizon when even electromagnetic waves cannot? I know it's due to virtual particles, but I seriously can't seem to grasp that.
    Thank you; I adore your explanations to fascinating content!

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  Před 6 lety +4

      The virtual particles are not escaping from inside the horizon. Virtual particles are created in pairs and sometimes only one of them is inside the horizon. The other can be outside and is free to escape.
      (Of course, that's the grossly over-simplified explanation. I happen to know PBS Space Time is releasing a video on this soon. It might be worth checking out.)

    IMAX 3D actually uses linear polarization, while standard 3D cinemas use circular polarization.

    I have a question? Why does the light need to be angled at 45 degree? I didn't quite get that part

      It has to be at 45 for _circularly_ polarized light. If it's not, then you'll get _elliptically_ polarized light.

    you said electron cloud maybe it due to uncertainty of the electron to be present at any point. It's the probability cloud of electron position where it could probably be found. Am I right?
