Ha, classic comment!

Don't blame yourself. He was a bad explainer. He also set an unrealistic goal (or a click-bait title). And he was wrong about things. He seems more an entertainer.

Science is about neither. It is about describing the world. Describing, not explaining.

@@florincoter1988 yes

Yes.

You can't be interested in a thing that you don't understand. At some point you will give up. But within the period of trying if you understand you should love it.

is math related to science

Beautiful

I'm so sorry about the way your school and teacher treated you. I was misunderstood by my schools and teachers too until I moved to a science high school. I've found that interest in science and mathematics tends to grow or disappear because of good/bad teachers. I hope you find videos and articles online that help you come to love science.

Start small and go smaller is my recommendation. If you grasp the broader (more relatable) concepts of biology (living organisms and how they function)vs inorganic materials and work down from there, I've found it to be a good road map. Organisms -> organ systems -> organs -> tissues -> (could start here) cells -> molecules -> atoms -> atomic particles -> subatomic/quantum particles -> quantum theories/behaviors. This order worked well for me to begin wrapping my head around it! Hope it helps! I also recommend to ease into anything chemistry if math is tough though. Aka seek resources that can break it down in lemans terms.

The book "Reality is not what it seems like" might be of interest and help to you!

I can't relate.

Meh. Its still a complicated subject. If he were explaining British History I would prefer it immensely.

Actually, I think it is an English-Irish mix

@@zoenightshade3053 eh? No such thing. It's a southern-English accent.

Diction, tone, body language...

@@zoenightshade3053 lol what? This guy is clearly from the South Of England.. Do you know what an English - Irish mixed accent sounds like? Well it sounds absolutely nothing like how this guy is speaking. Have you ever heard of the word 'Scouse' it's another word for a Liverpudlian and is the name for them as a people and the name of the accent they speak if not think The Beatles. Now that's an English Irish mixed accent, as it were where the vast majority of Irish migrants first stepped foot onto English soil and where many then settled down to live, either working on the docks or building the huge Canal which would link Liverpool and Manchester. Its a similar situation in the City of Glasgow in Scotland, except obviously there they have a Scottish Irish mixed accent.

if you don't know what are you talking about you can not deliver your message to others

@Rion DeRoc This is not true. Sometimes people understand things in a way that they can't explain it to others i.e. "they just know it." Also, people can be poor communicators. Effective communication is a skill that can be improved on with practice.

It's like you did not listen to what he said. "We can understand it well enough to use it in nuclear reactors, MRI machines, how Sun produces light / energy". I think he meant "What we can't imagine it with our brains." But mathematics does the job.

To a degree, yes. But sometimes there are words and phrases and concepts that you simply have to know in order to grasp the fundamentals of a conversation.

Einstein didn’t say that, but the message stands

Paul Peterson Underrated comment..

Feeling like a dummy. I'm 39 and if a 7 year old understands this better than me then I have no hope!

They know what we teach them

The point is, you have to explain it without going into details too deeply, and perhaps use an analogy which is not strictly accurate but good enough to get the message across at a simple level. But also, the audience has to at least be interested/curious, otherwise they won't want to understand, and therefore will never understand.

That's exactly what I was thinking after reading title of video. Lol

David Thorley you get a A then from me

David Thorley I was in your shoes when I started studying physics in high school (I recently graduated college with very high marks). What I learned (and wished I knew when I started college) was that being "good" at physics is overrated. Physics is not something people tend to be naturally good at: all of the people I know who are strong in physics are strong because they made a tremendous effort to understand the material. Physicists think about the world in a very unique way, and it takes a lot of time and training to think like that. But believe me, it is possible. The singular most important factor is your love for the subject and how hard you are willing to work to understand it. So many people came to my school deciding to major in physics because they were "good" at it in high school (not because they loved learning about the universe). Most of those people dropped the major by the end of the first year. People like me (sorry I hope this doesn't sound too pretentious) who worked our asses off to understand the material and think like a physicist started getting better at physics-ing (or at least getting used to the effort it took to understand things). You are capable of being successful, it just might take some time (maybe more time than you hoped), but you've got this :) . This is true of any field (I think... I've only done physics). Good luck (and if you've finished your first year in college, congrats)!

Jennifer Freedberg this wasn't directed at me but wow, your comment made me really happy and really encouraged me to go after studying physics even though i'm not amazing at it - i just love it too much to give it up. thank you!! :D

You are more of a scientist than many professors I've meet. More than your actual level your rate of enlightment is much more important and even more than that is your attitude and resolve.

I was looking for this comment 😜😂😂

Soww true

So jealous ~ every physics dork, myself included

smart AND handsome 👌👕

Exactly, we have to burn out energy to understand something that is counter-intuitive in the first place, we think classically not quantum mechanically.

I hate that quote. We understand quantum mechanics as well as electrodynamics, thermodynamics or classical mechanics. It is just difficult to talk about quantum mechanics without using a lot of math and thus almost impossible to explain to someone without the mathematical background. When you can't explain something to someone who doesn't speak your language, it doesn't mean you don't understand the subject.

It's a misquote from what I understand

And it’s your responsibility not to feel guilty about the failure of others to communicate.

Very true man....

Attitude is 100%

Science is Science, it is neither bad nor good, it just is. Bad or Good has to do with Individuals "Judging it or the Messenger". Even Scientists whom may get it wrong, don't change the facts of it, they merely may mislead the listener. Logic always applies to Science, it is the interpreter whom may judge it illogical. Quantum Physics requires both sides of the brain working in tandem, for clarity in understanding. Thus: both Logic and Philosophy are 🔑

@@bethbartlett5692 I'm pretty sure I meant to say "Good at it", I intended to quote the video and I'm pretty sure that was what was said, but take that with a grain of salt cause I haven't watched the video in a while. But yeah, I think past me was talking about being "Good at it" as in being able to easily understand the concepts and connect all the pieces together, if that makes sense.

Richard Feynman said, " I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." I have watched endless hour of physicists debating each other on the true nature of reality so my conclusion is that Richard Feynman was correct and in your case there is no need to feel badly about not understanding physics.

They should though👍

I do My weird smart little brother

At 7, many of us had. Thank you Carl Sagan.

Harsh Thakkar and why does your average joe shmo NEED to understand quantum physics? other then to appease people that do? how exactly does quantum physics help a farmer, or a welder, or a truck driver at his job? this desire to deligidimize or even punish scientifically illiterate people like heritics is hilariously ironic...

/M0ther_bra1ned/ He never said the word need he said care. There are many people that care to understand it. First read then write

Oh, found the "smart guy" who understands quantum physics.

/M0ther_bra1ned/ People are not defined by their jobs though. To suggest we should only learn in order to further our usefulness in our job is to put such a disservice to humanity.

Half of the comments are women commenting on how hot he apparently is, and imagining him without his shirt ;)

exactly. and although hard to believe, quantum physics is currently the closest thing to explaining the nature of reality. something great art and artists have tried to do over the history of mankind. and something tells me that ancient interpretations like how the reality of the world is not only dependent on the physicality of it, but also on our consciousness or maybe things like quantum entanglement will confirm how everything is dependent on everything else.

Quantum physics is so mind boggling, Einstein rejected this theory as he could not believe that there was an uncertainly, we could not just calculate it, because of the randomness he thought everything was certain

I wouls have loved if you tried harder to teach yourself

I had a physics teacher, Mrs. Zylstra who made it a joy. I was the only girl and the youngest in a high school class.

But theoretical in this context means mathematical. Physics (especially quantum) is divided into experimental and theoretical.

actually,,,theoritical is full of mathematics,,,,physics is an empty shell without maths. ,,,,

@@drumar1127 yes,,

Well said

Thanks for that tip. Looked it up and have subscribed to it

especially how clearly transparent the shear absence of anything accurate

the qualifier is important.

*humility

So whatever happened to Schrodinger's cat? What is the answer?

Jesse Pelley Schrödinger's cat is in a superposition of being dead and alive, you only know which of the two possibilities is true when you observe the system directly (look inside the box). The intention of it is to explain the concept of superposition using simple things.

Again the qualifier is important. The premise is the answer. Quantum superposition is not real, I think that's what those great minds were trying to tell us. I studied QED and QM at university. The point that heisenberg and feynmann were trying to explain is lost on people. Quantum superposition is not real, I don't want to start a debate, so I'll leave it like the U does. The same principle prescribed for the cat applies to quantum tunneling. These things are not real in the sense that we perceive them. There is nothing magical about quantum behavior, but if people won't listen to Feynmann and Heisenberg, then nothing can be done. It's true, people don't understand QM, but a person can. Break free to understand that scrodinger's equation is a PDF. The cat is alive or dead depending on how long it was in the box (you already know the cat was put in there with a radioactive particle). QT happens because of the outlying probability that an energized particle can achieve enough energy to escape the "well" of it's energetic position. Feynmann called attention to the principle of quantum energy. The principle being that which we know of quanta. People just don't get it, that's why I threw that out there. The cat is most definitely alive or dead depending on how long it was in there.

If you don't understand something, then you shouldn't be talking and writing about it because you are guaranteed to get it wrong. What you are telling me here is basically that you are a big fan of the DK effect and that you are practicing it all the time.

Woah!

you are not suppose to if we stay away from the propaganda...

Keep going with it. Most 7 year olds aren’t actually interested in physics. Your going places if you stick with quantum mechanics

Youn Gu thanks for the info but what I meant by too old for his books are that I no longer just want the basics I want to learn more about the specifics and I've already begun. I'm already a grade ahead of about half my high school classes (including math) and I'm already learning trigonometry. What I want is a way I can continue with my interests further because I can't do grade 11 math yet because technically I'm still in grade 9. That's what I often use the internet and books like his for. The only problem is that when I do this research my findings are often at university level which I don't understand. So I'm looking for and in between level for people interested like me. I had the same problem when I was younger and more be learned a lot more now but I can still learn some things from some simpler books too.

Jason M, if you want to really learn quantum physics you're going to need linear algebra and differential equations, which will require calculus. My suggestion is to just dive in now. The material won't get easier, you'll just get older, so just start now. Use Apostol's Calculus, Volumes 1 & 2 (which will cover enough linear algebra and differential equations that you will intelligently be able to look for reference later). Take them with you everywhere and learn them completely. Once you've done that, pick up Dirac's quantum mechanics text and start parsing.

I find that UKposts is just as good as books as a starting point for studying anything. My usual go-to is Crash Course, which covers topics like the sciences, literature and history at the AP level (some schools actually show these in their classes!), college level courses like philosophy, psychology, and even just random things like gaming and intellectual property. Plus, it's hosted and produced by the Vlogbrothers, two of the sanest, most legitimately awesome people on UKposts, with financial support from the Nerdfighters, their equally awesome fans. They're currently airing a series on physics, but I'm not sure they'll go into quantum mechanics. In any case you might want to check it out :)

+Jason M My suggestion is a bit different from others, because I would suggest *staying away* from Mathematics for as long as possible, at least when you're dealing with Physics. Mathematics can still be very interesting and cool in it's own right! But for Physics, I find that being able to form at least *some* sort of picture in one's head is best for understanding the subject -- Maths gets too abstract too fast, and then you'll be left calculating intricate sums _[which some may find very rewarding work; don't get me wrong]_, but meanwhile losing the understanding of what it was those numbers *meant* in the first place. So, instead, I'd suggest starting with Veratasium's excellent video series on Quantum Mechanics.
