    I'm interested to know what this will look like from 20 years down the road, but I'm hoping people will appreciate and remember the role that content creators and distribution platforms played in keeping our minds off of the overwhelming uncertainty.

    The double slit has been one of my absolute favorite expiriments for many years, BUT I'd like to take a step farther down the rabbit hole... In my opinion, the REALLY interesting thing about the double slit expiriment comes when we attempt to measure (aka: observe) which slit the particles travel through. SPOILER: when we measure it, the wave collapses, and the interference pattern disappears. What?!? Yes, it's gone, and you have 2 bands showing on the screen. So... what can we make of this? Lets dissect a bit further... For a particle to behave like this, you need wave, so let's start with a couple of questions: 1) is a particle just a particle traveling on a wave, or 2) is a particle both a particle AND a wave? (Note: the answer to this depends on who you talk to...). More questions: why would measuring/observing the particle cancel the wave function and make it behave like a lone particle? Good question, I'll touch on that in a bit... Let's talk about some options: Option 1: the simple act of observing is magical and changes the direction of the particles (hmmm .. I think not... humans aren't as special as we'd like to believe...) Option 2: the measuring device is somehow influencing/cancelling the wave function (problem here is, the quantum eraser and delayed choice quantum eraser expiriments tend to rule this out to a high degree) .. Option 3: mind blown! Whenever we measure it, there are two bands .. when we don't, there is an interference pattern (which requires the existance of a wave). I wish I were smarter, OR more than that, I wish that I had direct access to someone smarter than I so that I might discuss this in greater detail with them, because this keeps me up at night (seriosuly .. its scary-sad...)! While it's not popular among scientific scholars, I am really interested in Bohm's pilot wave theory (I feel that it's undervalued...) - which was coupled with de Broglie, if I recall correctly. While I am NO scholar, I often wonder whether the pilot wave theory (coupled with gravity effects OR maybe even space-time, itself??? .. my ignorance precedes me here...) is affecting things. Someday we'll know, and I hope I'm still around to hear it explained in full. Loved the video, but I would also LOVE to see the next level from you... Thanks!

I would like to say that some of the very best explanations & visualisations of aspects of Quantum Mechanics, are to be found in the PBS Nova series which you made a few years ago - i.e. “The Fabric of the Cosmos”. I have the DVD of the series and viewed it again recently. It is still excellent and well worth watching again.

    Best description of the double slit experiment I have seen... two questions: 1.

Does the thickness of the material from which the slits are made affect anything? I can imagine stuff bouncing off the sides of the slits...

When you try to measure position of electron you disturb it's both position and momentum. There is no counterintuitive stuff here. Electron is behaving according to the classical laws and it's just our inability to measure it and that's why probability popes out.. So why do physicist feel dizzy about it?

  • @mydroid2791
    @mydroid2791 Před 4 lety

    Very interesting. Gives me a flashback to Grade 11/12 physics. But as I watched 3 familiar questions came up for me:
    1) How does the measured wave property change with slit width (smaller then height)? If the slit width >> de broglie wavelength then it should act like macro objects, right? So what is the equation for the WaveIntferePattern(wavelength, slit width) function in general? This should tell us something interesting as the slit width approaches the magnitude of the de broglie wavelength.
    2) If single electrons, separated in time, make this interference pattern does that mean electrons have an existence spread in time (live in 4 dimensions) that allows them to generate a 4D "water wave interference pattern due to mass collection of water molecules", but not a 3D fluid of water, but a 4D fluid of electrons that we only see a 3D slice of, at each moment in time?
    3) Could an interaction with the microscopic nature of the slit material be the cause of the 'single electrons at a time' double slit experiment wave interference pattern? So electrons are not speaking to future amd past versions of themselves, nor do they interact due to living in a 4D existence, but it's simply some random-ish interaction with the slit material (via the various forces) that results in the electron particles moving through the slits _like they were waves_, but they are really just interacting like particles?
    Always wondered this stuff since about Grad 12.

    Hi from Spain and congratulations for this exciting initiative.
    QUESTION: I've read a wonderful book called QUANTUM ENIGMA, by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner. The basic profound idea described in the book is that in a double slit-like experiment your result depends ultimately on which experiment you DECIDE to make and there physics meet consciousness. It is also said that if a robot is made to decide a series of experiments based on some kind of random generator the series of results would be the same, but you cannot ensure that the decisions of the robot are not infuenced or determined in some way by the result of the experiment itself, and therefore you can only ensure independence if a human being consciously decides which experiment to make. I don't understand this. Could you elaborate a little bit on it?

    Well if I tread on the line of thinking of prince De-Broglei, I might as well argue that - as electromagnetic waves which have particle nature, wave nature and another nature which is that EM waves have a spectrum that runs from longest wavelength Radio waves to highest energy Gamma rays. So may I speculate that in the same way - particles may have spectrum associated with them? And may be that all the different fundamental particles that we know exist in nature be a part of the spectrum, which would unifie them all with some underlying properties?

    • @benno365
      @benno365 Před 4 lety +1

      The fundamental angular momentum for elementary particles is the so-called spin, which is of the size of Planck's constant. Its value is however not unique for a specific particle. The exact value is square-root{s·(s+1)}·(h-bar), where h-bar is Planck's constant divided by 2·pi, and s is the spin quantum number. For "ordinary" matter particles (electrons, protons, neutrons...), s=1/2, for photons s=1.

      @mahadlodhi Před 4 lety

      ​@@benno365 really grateful of you for taking the time out for replying. Having just passed out of high school, i have never come across that equation giving the angular momentum of elementary particles and have just witnessed QM from the outset. I cannot interpret that Eq and fail to see how it explains the plancks constant. It just expresses the ang. momentum in terms of h and in order that ang. momentum be equal to h(of some particle), s*(s+1) must be equal to 2pi which would only be if the spin of he particle is either (~2.056 or -3.056). Both these values are of course out of the possible quantized spin number. This is what I can draw from the eq. in light of my extremely scarce understanding of QM.

    Does the firing of single electrons really support quantum mechanisms, or is there just a field (like the water medium which we dont know about) that EMR behavioural particles travel through that cause ripples. The single firing would have to be done in a vacuum at long intervals to ensure that the “ripples” are settled before the next particle is fired. Just seems odd that an interference pattern emerges when theres so called “nothing” to interfere with lol. And how do we know it was the original fired electron that landed on the screen and not just an electron from the slit material. Im starting to think that all matter is made up of wave like features or vibrations that all come together to form the tangible substances that we see around us, due to its effects at proximity, which is necessitated by the small nature of matter. And the combination of these smaller influences lend themselves to the macroscopic nature of what we see. In which case then there is a unified theory of matter, but we just dont “see” it yet.

  • @xspotbox4400
    @xspotbox4400 Před 4 lety

    How about no slit experiment, can we do that? Let's say we place a mirror behind those two slits, so light never reach the wall but reflect back to the source. Than place a screen behind focused light source and see if pattern can reflect in reverse.
    I would speculate there are two systems in play here, light should travel in both ways, even if we see only one result. Wall is also shining back at light source.
    My idea is, only certain part of visible light band is pushed trough slits, but rest of light waves are also there. So we see only some sort of excess of certain photons, but can't see matrix of channels produced by other wave lengths and those also bounce both ways.
    Would be happy to try experiments my self, but i also lack equipment, i guess.

The detector just detects the first total electron or enough of the electrons to have a signal good enough to call it our electron. I believe there’s still more electrons than we r detecting. It’s to coincidental to act like an abundant amount of particles like multiple water molecules.

    There are experiments which can only be explained by the matter behaving as wave (like the double split experiment) but are there experiments which can ONLY be explained by the matter behaving as a particle?
    I may be wrong but doesn't the wave principle suit ALL experiments (the ones with the wave behavior and the ones with the particle behavior)? (Contrary to the particle theory which is contradicted by the wave experiments)

    Thoughts on the question of where does time exist (space-time?)
    Pure Logic = mathematics. Mathematics is an absolute science, a formal system of pure logic that can be seen as a language existing without philosophical reasoning; we must attach the philosophical inference (one and one are two, the philosophical reasoning asks two of what). There is no questioning of proven mathematics in this ramble, the question is to philosophical assumptions impinged to pure mathematical logic of “space-dependent time” or space-time, where logical deductions flow to time as matter dependent.
    Speed is always relative to the observer because it is a measurement of change in distance over time relative to the observer. The only thing that can change this is the absence of a function in the equation if the function of changing distance is missing there is no speed. If the function of time is missing there is no speed.
    What if time exists to the observer but does not exist within what is being measured light? Any velocity of the observer relative to the source would become inconsequential, but the perspective of the observer would be of utmost importance,
    The speed of light is a constant and an absolute speed traveling through space unmolested by time, the speed inconsequential to the behaviour of matter, a speed that matter can never reach.
    To understand this phenomenon there are three different perspectives one can take.
    (1) A perspective from our position of measurement, (we know these answers).
    (2) A perspective from within the light.
    (3) A perspective from outside the universe looking in.
    An argument for where time exists must inevitably lead to ‘what is time’, to find an answer a Gedanken experiment is needed, if it can be backed by experiment philosophical logic may have some weight.
    Using perspective (2) a perspective within the light.
    If you travelled to 99.99% of C you would still exist as matter, but taking the next step of 0.01% C you would experience a state that is not matter but a state in which only energy can exist “time would stand still”, time standing still this is a deficient statement, if time stands still it ceases to exist, a better description would be to say time does not exist within c. This is borne out in the mathematics, s = d/t if time is cancelled so is speed; there is only distance left or the path, showing a reason why C is a constant and why nothing can travel faster than light is because “at c speed does not exist”. It is really the closest thing to being at rest in this universe.
    Philosophy of conscious clarity created in simple logic; if simple logic is lost clarity is lost.
    Non-existence of time creates another phenomenon, without time the path of C cannot have position within itself, as position infers time, without position the path can only be the whole, the beginning the end and everything in-between. This phenomenon is proven with these two experiments.
    (1) Two slit delayed choice experiment.
    (2) Entangled photon experiment
    (1) Delayed choice experiment shows once you know information about the path that information changes your perspective, in turn, changes the result. It doesn’t matter at what position within the path you learn the information because the path is always the whole ‘without position’. Perspective is contingent on information and our perspective is a perspective of time, once information is known our perspective is of time, which must have a position.
    (2) The entangled photon experiment is analogous to delayed choice. In this experiment, light is passed through two polarising filters, polarising light horizontally and vertical then passing the light through a crystal splitting the single light beam into two paths without breaking the path. Observing the polarization of the light on one path you know the orientation of the second path, it will be opposite to the path measured first, no matter what time has passed from the first measurement. Time and distance makes no difference within the beam of light because it is always the whole, time passes for us but not for the energy within the beam of light, it is position less existing only as the whole.
    This shows that we live in a universe where time and position only exist below the speed of light but has no existence at C.
    This argument does not show what time is and why it behaves the way it does, that understanding leads back to the origins of the universe.
    I love this series of daily equation thank you professor Green.
    I would love to hear your thoughts on this ramble.

    That's some spooky action right there. So the upshot of all this is that we are beings of energy. And the only reason that we can be seen at all is that light reflects off of us. Ha!

    Make this experiment at home find a place where the sun light get in than go behind a door blocking the sun and close that door slowly and let the light beam get smaller and smaller when you reach a point where the door opening get very small you will see the light beam getting spread out and getting bigger again.

    Question: Have you ever thought about that pattern (of double slits) as is obtained as the effect of the wall (and its gravity - because of his mass) against the trajectory of the electrons?
    In other words, the electron is starting his travel from the electron gun, is approaching the slit wall (which has a mass, so its own gravity field), and the trajectory of the electron is just modified (bended) because of that just as the light is bended by gravity of an object.
    Or, the wall have some kind of "aerodynamic" effects to the trajectory of the electron?
    In this way you'll get the same 5 beam pattern.
    It could be that the case?

    I did something like this with my beard. I cut a small slit in it lined up with the skin that separates your nostrils, and that the beard has grown. When I stand in the mirror. The light above my mirror cast a shadow of my beard onto my chest. So you,d think you'd get a shadow of a beard with a slit down the middle, but instead you get a shadow of a beard with two slits. Which what i can best describe looks like the head of a three pronged pitchfork
