    The weird rules of quantum mechanics lead to all sorts of bizarre phenomena on tiny scales- particles teleporting through walls or being in multiple places at once or simultaneously existing and not. Shame all this magical behavior doesn’t happen on scales large enough for us to see. Except that there is a way for us to see large-scale quantum weirdness, and that’s Bose-Einstein Condensates & Superfluids.

    For the fans who didn't watch all the way to the end: we've been having a bit of trouble with the CZcams algorithm and we need your help! Since our comment response livestream, we've noticed that YT isn't sharing our videos as much with our subscribers. So we're asking our subscribers to 1. switch their subscriptions from "PERSONAL" to "ALL" (just click on the subscribe button and you'll see it) and 2. Watch new episodes as soon as they can!
    Selecting "ALL" ensures that YT actually sends you ALL the Space Time videos to your home page and watching early makes it more likely that YT shares the video with the larger Space Time community. Thanks for your continued support!

    12:12 It seems to me that you couldn’t “stir up” a cup of superfluid helium, because it would effortlessly flow around the spoon. I think you have to warm it up above 2.1K, stir it and then cool it down again while it is still rotating to get the “never-ending” vortex.

    • @fascistpedant758
      @fascistpedant758 Před 11 měsíci +17

      @@fascistpedant758 yes but that has nothing to do with what he said. Of course a force is required but the energy dissipation in viscosity is 0 meaning it could rotate endlessly once it is accelerated. The only problem is it would flow around the spoon without viscosity to generate the motion in the first place like OP said.

      You still have the pressure in front of and the under-pressure behind the spoon. So I'd imagine it would still start spinning since this pressure differencial transfers momentum despite the frictionless flow around the spoon.

    • @EebstertheGreat
      @EebstertheGreat Před 11 měsíci +33

      You can still stir a superfluid. Superfluids still interact with other things. Consider that if you carry a cup of superfluid helium around, the helium will move with the cup, so clearly the walls are pushing on the liquid. You can push on the liquid with a spoon instead, and that will cause it to move forward. And then there won't be anything to stop it, so it will just keep going.

      NOVA used to be great... when I was a kid. But I swear, not only did they slowly dumb things down, but the show started padding it's runtime with repetitive repetition of things they had said twelve times already, as if they were afraid you didn't understand the first two, or that you were necessarily tuning in just now. I think the first time I noticed was back when they had Brian Greene trying to explain string theory, and they never did explain what the string was made of (though that is partially because there is no good answer). Spacetime has always managed to get to the point, if only because they know they can always direct you to an old video or you can replay the one you are on. Which means he can get more technical at least some of the time.

    Mainly commenting to help out with the algorithm stuff, but if anyone at Spacetime does happen to read this: at lease one regular viewer (who happens to be a materials scientist) would love more episodes on solid state physics! Personally I find the physics behind wave-crystal interaction (e.g. x-ray / electron diffraction) to be fascinating. It's not too hard to understand at a basic level (e.g. Bragg's law), but the physics there are surprisingly deep when you go digging (e.g. crystal momentum, the Laue relations and the Ewald sphere construction, the connection of this whole topic to Fourier transforms, etc...)

    This may be the best channel on CZcams. I like how you get someone who clearly is an expert, with content that is kept purposefully at a level more complicated than most people would understand, including myself. Finally a place where the audience are assumed to be smarter and more resourceful rather than the opposite. Not a fan of ads though, e.g. the Brilliant ad in this one. I already pay for CZcams premium.

Especially when someone mentions universities separate. There are other types of schools, but they are not as well-known.

  • @arga400

    I want an episode on if "Absolute Zero" is theoretically possible.
    Absolute Zero means no particle has any energy thus they are not moving at all, that would mean we know both the speed and location of an electron, since the speed is 0 and the location is obvious as is not moving.

    • @MrWayneDX

    • @d4slaimless
      @d4slaimless Před 11 měsíci +3

      From thermodynamic point of view reaching zero is impossible because to remove heat you need to transfer it from hotter body to colder one, but you can't get a body with temperature lower then 0. And if cooling agent has a temperature of zero (but you just want to reach it, so where would you get one), then the body being cooled would approach the temperature of the cooling agent asymptotically - means would never reach zero.
      Also particles in a crystal lattice at 0 K would still have minimum vibrational motion, so I'm not sure you will be able to know both speed and location.

    Also, question; is Helium-4's boson-like behavior why it is emitted in alpha decay? or is that an unrelated coincidence?

    • @falnica
      @falnica Před 11 měsíci +4

      Excellent question. Yes, alpha decay needs to emit a boson, and it just so happens that two protons or two neutrons would be very unstable, so Helium-4 is the lightest stable boson it can produce, now, if you ask why it has to be a boson... that's a story for another time

      Does it have to be a boson?
      Beta decay, p-drip and n-drip all emit fermions so I can't imagine why that would be the case.
      I was under the impression helium was emitted because helium-4 is doubly magic (basically, protons and neutrons have 'shells' in a similar way electrons do in an atom, and magic numbers of them are when the shells are full).
      Other magic-numbered isotopes can also appear in Nuclear fission. I think the reason helium is more common is that fission requires a larger increase in the nucleus' surface area, which requires a lot of energy because the protons/neutrons are attracted to each other.

  • @shamimhussain396
    @shamimhussain396 Před 11 měsíci +6

    So, the particles don't interact because that would require exchange of energy and one of them would need to move to a lower energy state. But at this point, there IS no lower energy state! 😅 It all makes perfect sense now. Physics books are like - they occupy same energy state, cannot interact bla bla, but none of them bothered to explain why they cannot interact. 🙃
