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 UKposts 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

@ExternusArmy 11 місяців тому
@@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.

@EebstertheGreat
@EebstertheGreat 11 місяців тому
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.

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...)

​@@falnica 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.

Its been a hot minute since I’ve watched space time, I Just wanna thank you for reminding me of that feeling of hope and possibility, the one you get in science class when you know you could learn any number of cool new things… when there weren’t big looming awful problems in your life and you could easily immerse yourself in learning and expansion. My fathers very sick and is going on hospice. He’s been battling a rare cancer for 2.5 years now. I’d completely forgotten this feeling. Thank you again for reminding me of what life and living feels like at a time in my life when I’d completely forgotten

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.

It’s not. We would need an infinite amount of energy to do so which would introduce heat back into the system. I’m almost 100% sure we had him talk about it at some point.

Doesn't that relate to the atomic/molecular motion a.k.a heat and ignores the energy inside individual atoms/molecules perhaps except for spin? Genuinely asking

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.

This may be the best channel on UKposts. 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 UKposts premium.

15:17 man the scale is mind BLOWING! I get this stuff way more than I used to. I think your stuff was over my head before and I wasn’t ready for it. I needed a bigger knowledge base to compare and comprehend. I’m very interested in dark energy and noise disturbances in quantum computing but I know nothing about either.

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. 🙃

I have set every channel I'm subscribed to to not notify me when videos are updated specifically because I preferred the email notification system UKposts used to use. How I use UKposts now-a-days is when I am ready to watch videos, I sit down and load my subscription page, NOT the home page.

From what I've heard, mixing live streams with recorded content on a channel kills the youtube algorithm. One solution I've heard of is to just hide livestreams or move the livestreams to another channel.

Thank you so much for the videos, effort and series in general, really appreciate them. I've been having subscriptions not showing up at all with other channels too. It's just youtube doing what they can to promote certain channels over others for whatever reasoning I'd imagine, otherwise they'd be doing something about it.
