The more I learn, the less I know!

My Professor says it fine if we do not fully understand the Quantum Theory, but he confused me further when gave me a fail for my final exam!!

I’m 13 years old so I’m pretty proud of myself that I understood around half of this. Physics in general has always interested me and recently quantum physics.

After spending all morning reading different articles and finally getting to grips with the ideas quantum physics puts forward, this video was the perfect way to summarise everything I've learned and put it into objectively understandable terms. Great work, thanks! My brain feels bigger today

I never graduated high school and never cared for science or math but strangely I find the idea of quantum physics super interesting and it’s given me a new appreciation for educating myself Edit: got my GED a year ago/ Going to welders school and set myself up for college classes starting next year to get my associates.

Before video: What is quantum physics? After: So what is quantum physics?

Thank for explaining all of the questions I needed… I actually tested this double slit experiment and got an interference pattern. Very cool. Nice video, the drawings make it easy to understand

The picture summary at the end was very helpful, it summed up all the concepts that were discussed. Keep up the great job and don't forget the picture summary at the end.

I'm still waiting for the part where I understand quantum physics.

Electron: waving Me: observing it Electron: well now I'm not doing it EDIT: Lmao this comment is getting attention years after making them lmao

"Quantum physics is incredibly accurate but it is also got giant (understated) holes" that sums up the puzzle of quantum mechanics we humans haven't even scratched the tip - a very long way to go in a fascinating journey.

I don't really know why I find myself here, I'm just some random fifteen year old with pretty poor grades who was originally looking for photonics videos, but I must say this was pretty well put together and I actually had some fun with this, I found it pretty easy to keep up with and get what I feel is a decent general understanding of the information displayed. All in all nice video, thank you.

This is the wave of my understanding: ____________

I used to wonder what my dog thought while watching television.

Physics has always been a distant mystery for me but I really love this channel, as well as Minute Physics, and I've learned so much. That said, Quantum Physics can seem to be what Science would be if it could take hallucinogenics. So I really appreciate your honest and realistic perspective on the subject. Thanks for all the great material!

the visualization that you gave for the wave uncertainty principle made it click in my head! Thank you!

I’ve watched countless hours of quantum Mechanics videos. I mean embarrassing amount of hours and it never sunk in. I actually consider myself to be relatively intelligent but there’s something about the whole the thing that really bothered me. With that being said this video is by far the best explanation I’ve ever seen. A few but very important key things was said that tied things together. Thank you video maker, publisher, and poster. 😀

Well, that confirms it. I'm as dumb as I thought.

I want to compliment you for the best explanation I've ever seen for non-experts like me. I could go a step further grabbing fundamental concepts about the matter, also thanks to the clarity, apt analogies and balance between simplicity and details. Many compliments!

He literally gave closure to a physics course I completed in months ago, but still didn't quiet get all the basics confidently. This made it complete.

I understand quantum physics because I don't think I understand quantum physics Haters will deny.

Better quote: "If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet." - Niels Bohr

The choices you made in simplifying this are excellent. There seems to be a growing awareness amongst quantum physics teachers that the typical introductory analogies are causing more confusion than anything else. You've even managed to effortlessly explain the measurement problem in an introduction, in a way that would make anyone nod in agreement.

I play guitar and am very passionate about audio engineering. I also worked as a general contractor with good knowledge in electrical. Applying both my sound wave knowledge and electrical current knowledge. This actually all made so much sense and was so fun to learn, I am looking at going back to school. I truly have to thank you. This was life changing.

so, according to this video we are literally made of vibes

Let me explain Quantum Physics. Imagine a person dancing in your peripheral vision, they dance and keep dancing but when you finally look at them they are still as a statue.

This is really cool! Thank you for posting. Would you kindly make a detailed video on quantum entanglement specifically? It’s such a mind blowing phenomenon! For some reason it leads me to believe that the same happens amongst close individuals.

Thanks for spending the time to create and share this content 🤙🏾

Nobody: Me at 3AM:hmmm I wonder about quantum physics

Electron is me in a nutshell. I work. When someone watches. I stop.

Thank you so much for the visual analogies, as a hands on learner it’s really difficult to conceptualize these concepts.

quantum physics is part of our curriculum for next year so I really enjoyed looking into it ahead of time with this video! wish me luck for next year, i'm still going to need a lot of that

Heisenberg and Schrödinger get pulled over for speeding. The cop asks Heisenberg "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but we know exactly where we are!" The officer looks at him confused and says "you were going 108 miles per hour!" Heisenberg throws his arms up and cries, "Great! Now we're lost!" The officer looks over the car and asks Schrödinger if the two men have anything in the trunk. "A cat," Schrödinger replies. The cop opens the trunk and yells "Hey! This cat is dead." Schrödinger angrily replies, "Well he is now." EDIT : I've also started a science channel about everyday's common phenomenons.

"If you want to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency and vibration" - Nikola Tesla

Had a dream I should look up quantum physics, I never really got into science or math. I’m a mainly history guy but I find this video and found it fascinating.

I have read several books which attempt to explain quantum mechanics, but until watching this I have never gained a more clear understanding of the concepts. The description of the uncertainty principle I thought was particularly concise and easy to understand. Bravo!

"Quantum Mechanics is well understood" 2 minutes later "Physicists still can't explain how..."

"I dunno lol probably" - Quantum Physicists

This video cleared up a lot for me. Ive read over 100 popular physics books and this is what made things most clear for me.

OMG i finally understand the linked particles thing !!!! Sometimes explaining it a little more in detail help people understand! thank you so much. Even though it is very simple I known

There is a high probability I haven't understood this

The aliens in their fly by scene: "Oh look! isn't that sooo cute!! Their doing that old quantum physics thing!"

Good clear explanation of this complex subject and you’ve helped me get it clearer in my understanding 😃

This was an awesome basic presentation. At first I thought I didn’t want to see it but I’m so glad I Watched it.

I have a Quantum mechanic who works on my car. Now it drives forward and reverse at the same time.

I aint going to sleep until i understand 1% of this

he explained heisenberg's uncertainty principle with ease

As a physics students struggling in the visualization of what I'm doing this is perfect. Really thank you :)

I don't come from a science background but I've always been fascinated by physics and astronomy. I've tried on and off for years to get my head around this and I think I finally got it! From one teacher to another - congrats and one hell of a thank you

It should be noted that for tunneling, a "barrier" doesn't necessarily mean a wall. Some people may be thinking of the walls in their house. What it means instead is a potential barrier. In other words, a voltage potential difference, or a different energy state.

Great video. I'm glad he explained it plainly without metaphors. Most people "explaining" quantum physics immediately go "imagine you have a fried egg" or some crap like that which just makes it more confusing and probably means they don't really know what they're talking about.

No, like this video is honestly so good. It's perfect. I listened to it a bunch, and this is everything I need to know. You made it very interesting and I'm looking forward to researching it in my own time. And the whole layout was ideal, I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you.

This won't resurrect my dead brain cells but at least i kind of learned something

Thank you. That was an excellent presentation. I'm a retired Physics teacher and have been incredibly frustrated that I could never get my head around quantum mechanics enough to explain to my A level students. I can now finally forgive myself!! Thanks again

Thanks a lot for an engaging way of explaining something I still do not understand, but still find extremely interesting and intriguing:)

I've been looking for a good video to send my mom that isn't so convoluted. Thank you so much for making these ❤️

my friend went down the “try to understand quantum physics” hole and she pulled me down with her

The Heisenberg uncertainity principle was wonderfully explained!!!

Thanks for a really clear explanation. I've combined this with watching History Of The Universe channel, to scratch my astrophysics itch

Incredible animation and general production quality! Very well done!

I watched Avengers Endgame so I’m pretty sure I know how Quantum physics work.

Wow! I'm extremely impressed with what you fit in to a video that's less than 13 minutes long! This might just be the best ever overview of quantum physics over such a short span of time! And I also like that you made things easy to understand while also giving us lots of great information!

I had a very vague idea of what quantum physics meant, but I understood everything in this video. I love when I learn something and it ties a ton of knowledge up, it feels great.

Spectacular! I followed along all the way and didn't slide through parts I could get later in the re-run haha. Explained this way it all makes sense.

That was a great way of explaining the Heisenberg uncertainty principle utilizing the addition of sine waves / fourier transformation.

As a physics undergrad, this video explained so well concepts that took me weeks to understand through my lectures. Glad it's out there.

The movement of the particle (any particle) moves around like a wave. Just like a molecule of H20 moves around in the ocean or lake, like a wave. Taken together, the particles move together in waves. If we stop a particle while it is jumping all around and ask it "where are you now" it gives us an answer we call measurement because we measured EXACTLY where it is this instant. But it keeps moving, so the probability is that it is probably here or there or somewhere at any given moment in time. It's the same with Waldo, in where is Waldo. We can certainly predict Waldo will need to use the restroom. So the probability of catching Waldo in the loo is pretty high, compared to other places.

Thank you so much! All I could find on the internet was really complicated shtick, as a person without good maths or physics education all the numbers and unexplained variables quickly threw me off - but this helped! In a very concise way even.

This actually did help demystify it! Most analogies out there make it sound like pure magic, but the analogy of waves from a pebble thrown in water + the insights on how measurements are done and what models are used help understand what quantum physics is actually about

Came here looking for answers. Leaving with more questions :(

I’ve been investigating Quantum Physics on my own for the past year and this an excellent overview

One of the best explanations I ever watched and I have watched way too many videos and read quite a bit about Quantum Physics

I feel so much smarter! Even though my grades disagree..

When in doubt, find a video narrated by an English Gentleman.

Soooo cool. I'm 58 and feel like I'm 8 again. Maybe if I watch enough of your videos I will be able to build a time machine and go back to when I was 8. Wait, would I still be an old cuss? Can you make a "Time travel" map, please. 🙏

I think what Richard meant in his quote was; once you understand it, you need to forget it. What is, isn't always. The rules are constantly changing and evolving. Just like the universe is constantly expanding. It's like finding a cure for a dis-ease (disease). Take for example syphilis. There was no cure for syphilis up until mid 20th century. What I am trying to say is; if you are working to solve something. Then what you are working on is not really impossible. It's more possible than you think.

I’ve just watched this with my 8 year old who has been asking me lots of questions about quantum physics having watched Antman. A bit technical for him just yet, but I learned something! Thanks!

I first thought this was Quantum Physics 101 when I first clicked on it. After 7 mins into the video, I concluded: This is Quantum Physics 10100.

short and crisp video with a ton of details. thank you

You have done a fantastic job of simplifying this topic..well done..

This video actually does a decent job of representing this.

I think, there are two reasons, why quantum mechanics is hard to unterstand: 1. The underlying math is quite complicated. For the basic concepts of classical mechanics like velocity and acceleration you only need basic calculus, with is taught at school. But the fundamentals of quantum physics involves much more math, like complex analysis and Hilbert spaces. In order to understand something like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle from the mathematical point of view, you must be at least be familiar with the Fourier transformation. 2. Quantum mechanics is counterintuitive. The concepts of classical mechanics are closely linked to our everyday experience. The orbital motion of the moon around the earth and the trajectory of an arrow are two aspects of the same thing. But in quantum mechanics we have to abandon intuitive classical concepts like the trajectory and have to replace them with abstract mathematical things like the wave function. Quantum mechanics questions our concept of reality. Physical quantities can be in a state of superposition, so that they are strictly speaking undefined before the measurement. By measuring this physical quantitity, the state of the system is irreversibly changed, simply because of the presence of this information. But without an idea what really going on at a measurement, it is difficult to get an intuitive understanding how quantum mechanics works. The solution, perhaps, is to approach quantum mechanics from a completely different angle than described in most textbooks. Instead of a particle in a potential well, one can consider an even simpler system: the qubit. A single qubit can illustrate the concept of superposition. With two qubits you get already entanglement. By learning how quantum computers work one can get an understanding about quantum mechanics even without advanced math. So, the real benefit of quantum computers could be that we use them to better understand quantum mechanics.

Perfect explanation. I learned this in engineering school long time ago and looked for a video to refresh my memory.

This is without a doubt one of the best explanation of quantum physics on UKposts.

Beautiful!!! By the way, I just had some atoms for breakfast....

i’m only 14 but honestly i want to know more. like it’s so interesting to me. my brain hurt bc i watched like 5 other videos today but it’s so worth it. it genuinely makes me want to study this type of stuff in college.

i’m 23 and the last physics class i took was when i was 15. i wish class was like this lesson.

This explanation helped so much! Such a complicated abstract concept.

Great video! I watch a lot of physics videos on UKposts and am currently studying physics but I have to say this was the best video for helping understand the basics of quantum mechanics I've seen yet. Some of your explanations really helped me understand the concepts and helped visualize everything better. Great job on this video in particular but your channel is definitely a new favorite of mine. Keep up the great content!

1:30 holy shit my hs teacher spent weeks trying to explain this concept and you just summed it up in one sentence.

Brilliant! Thank you! I've now got a neat, straightforward, fun way to provide a reference to anyone. You smashed that atomically, out of its boundary!

IIIIII have been DYING in my advanced chemistry course because they want us to learn some quantum mechanics and my brain just doesn’t grasp physics that well. after hours of trying to make sense of it, this is the video that finally made it click!! thank you so much, hopefully i won’t fail my quiz in a few hours lol

I liked and disliked this video at the same time, it's now down to you Dom.

3:48 This really opened my eyes, that's amazing! Explained a lot

I never thought that I would be able to understand the quantum mechanics but you made it super easy and that too in so lest time.

Ive always had an interest for quantum mechanics. When I was 13 I started my studies with super complicated lectures. 2 years later im back at it but I’ve found it’s easier when I first have a basic idea of it! So thank you for this

Yes exactly! Using analogies is almost condescending and can be demotivating to someone who has, all of a sudden, lost track because the anology is off topic and distracting. Straight knowledge can be revised without confusion and is the ultimate goal of learning. Love this explanation and I'm even confident enough to use this video to educate the older members of my family :D thank you.

Man, I watched many lectures and videos on QM and this is probably the most lucid and helpful explanation of QM. Mucho gracias. Do one on Special and General Relativity and other concepts in general relativity please!

I already have a good understanding of this at this level, but this is the best intro video I've seen.

Thank you for that generalized explanation/ I always wondered about quanta physics 👍
