To be fair, there's a BIG difference between being wrong because you were following a logical interpretation of data that testing later revealed to be incorrect (either because the data itself was incorrect or because you made a mistake somewhere in your interpretation that affected your conclusion), and being wrong because you were speaking out of your ass or were emotionally invested in some political/religious/ideological narrative.

Science is not religion. Science is always changing and evolving. Just because Einstein improved upon Newton doesn't mean Newton was "wrong" or "tarnished" or "belittled" or "discredited". Newton will always be seen as a towering genius. Hundreds of years later we know more, so science evolves to accommodate our increased knowledge. Say a detective arrives at the scene of a crime-- they make an initial hypothesis based on the evidence available to them. As the evidence increases, their theory of the crime might evolve and change-- this doesn't mean they're stupid, it just means they're following the evidence. A lot of people just don't understand how science works. Perhaps most people.

Physicists are people who delve into things so much that they come to realize they have few answers. In cosmology the more you know the less you know, or realise that.

*You did a good job describing it.* When I was in grad school I accidentally bumped into Bell's inequality while reading a QM textbook. I immediately recognized that it was special and took it to my professors to talk about it. Oddly enough neither one of them had ever seen it before and they took the day to look it up in order to verify it. Both men came back as elated as I was. This work cleared up for me a decade of headaches. Arguably the best thing I've ever read in a textbook.

I think I have an answer to this.. possibly... to not bury the lead, the gist is that "particles" only have real defined properties in regions of space-time that share equivalent probabilities... so places where probabilities are entangled at the moment measured. Or put another way, there exists a wave function reference frame. To elaborate, What if the idea that the wave function and the probabilities associated with it are observer-dependent is more consequential than currently believed, and are in some way subjective features, not just objective mathematical entities?. It is my hypothesis that, despite the assertion that the properties of particles are reference frame invariant, observer-dependent probabilities must have some role in the construction of reality beyond simply being a mathematical construct. Or put more plainly, reality must depend to an extent on the "reference frame" of the observer, all the way down to quantum properties. This is not the same reference frame as Einstein's relativity, but one tied to the wave function rather than inertia, so a "wave function reference frame". This would imply that reality is only true "locally", as in for any given point or points in spacetime where the wave function and the probabilities associated with it are all coherent. This is not to be confused with local realism, ie. "realism plus relativistic limits on causation". I want to be clear that the locality I am referring to is specifically the points in space-time that share entangled wave functions, even if they are not adjacent. This line of thinking stems from the results of the experiments that lead to the recent Nobel prize in physics, plus the various other experiments such as the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment. Time, causality, and information seem to be intrinsic to this issue. The fact is that we can only ever know anything after that thing has taken place, and causality requires a progression of events over time. For all sorts of reasons, we can't even be aware of a "thing" that is "happening" as it "happens". We only ever see outcomes, so we experience any current state as the information about that state in the form of a sum total of all sequential causes over time that led to that state. Even our eyes lag behind reality by several milliseconds. Let's look at our experience with photons for example. From our perspective (reference frame), a photon leaves its source, travels through space, and interacts with some object. This is a process that took time, is measurable, has defined properties, changes of energy states, etc... Yet the photon experiences no time. Without time, it could not travel through space, it could not have interacted with anything, and its properties can not be defined... From the photon's perspective, the is no perspective as there is no time to exist in... (I realize it's a perturbation of the electromagnetic field, not a little ball, but that's kind of the point, without time you can't have a perturbation of a field) So let's break this down, what do we actually observe?... When we look at the results at the end of the experiment, what are we actually looking at? We are looking at information about past states as represented in the present state. Did we see the photon leave its source? Maybe, in a roundabout way, but we could not have seen that specific photon, or it would have been altered, so the experience of actual observation must be indirect, plus that experience is just "information about the past" when looking back from the end of the experiment. Did we observe its travel? No. Did we directly observe its interactions? No. What we see is the outcome of the interaction presented as the present state. So did it ever actually exist? From our reference frame, yes, from the reference frame of the photon, no. Somehow both are true. Something can't be right with our picture of reality. But if reframe to a wave function reference frame, and accept that reality is probabilistic, all of this weirdness goes away, and let's face it, this is actually far more in line with our experience of reality compared to a strictly deterministic reality and can marry the strangeness of the quantum world to the classical one seamlessly.

And while we're at it, maybe a few different degrees of notification so people can customize whether they get poked for _all_ of your videos, just the ones that recommendation system thinks they care about, or none if they just want it to act like Nebula acts now.

You should really get a medal for getting correct information and being able to explain it (lay it out) in 'the most' logical matter without going hyper math or hyper theoretical. Thank you Joe Scott - one of the true real guys :D been enjoying your channel quite a lot. cheers! I will ad the big question tho: energy moves as a particle or as a wave depending on the scale of observation but as a law of physics say. no matter can move at the theoretical speed of light. so if energy is movement of 'something' what is moving? everything is either a particle or a waveform made by particles moving at the speed of light right.. ? and no matter can move at the speed of light right? .. so what is moving..?

It's cold and raining. I was so happy to see you posted something new to brighten my day. I promise I'll watch it as your fan, not your critic. I think you're the coolest, man. Keep up the good work!!

A great video and explanation on a very difficult topic. Well Done!

Subscribed! Excellent content and the way you communicate it!

Good work in conquering the Mt. Everest of scientific topics. Pretty much everything you said flew right over my head.

Glad to see Joe covering physics again. It's what drew me in to begin with.

I left this video more confused than before, well done.

I must salute you! I've been enjoying your videos since the beginning of your career, and I will flatter myself by thinking that we were roughly at the same level at the beginning of your KZread career, but you have learned so much more than I have in that time! I know you work your ass off at that, and I'm pretty sure that you treat your brain better than I have in my life. I live sort of on the wild side, or at least I used to, and I've thrown a lot of strange chemicals at my brain. I don't regret it, but I recognize the cost. I've also gotten kind of lazy about learning new stuff and keeping my brain nimble. Anyway, I also salute your courage in addressing an impossible idea. Anytime I try to talk to people about reality not being real, I have not been able to find anywhere to go with that. The ground kind of disappears under your feet if you start out with a topic like that. You manage to bring some real substance to the concept!

Joe I wanted to let you know that I just signed up for Curiosity Stream and Nebula using your discount code. Very excited to explore both. Thanks! 16:45

Damn this is too advanced for me... and I love it. I specially loved the part where you explain entanglement, twice. It's like that "why don't you explain it to me like I'm 5" from Michael.

Have you done a presentation on the Fine Structure Constant? If not, please do. I want to know how many formulae in physics incorporate alpha and why.

👏I gave a presentation over this topic as a term project for graduate Quantum Mechanics two years ago. You did a better job than I did! I am often impressed by your ability to both grasp and explain the intuitive understanding of complex topics like this. Kudos Joe. Since I found your channel three years ago, I check in every week. Keep it up as long as you enjoy it! Your genuine enthusiasm really shines through. I've learned a ton from your channel with lots of laughs along the way.

Once again, super work trying to dumb it down enough very lay people who have a tricky time following along👏👏👏

Great video trying to make sense of a mysterious facet of reality. One way I've heard quantum properties explained uses a quantum information approach. Imagine an electron only has one bit to represent its spin, i.e., 1 = up and 0 = down or 1 = right and 0 = left. Which basically means if you measure an electron's up/down spin with a Stern-Gerlach device, the electron will consistently demonstrate its spin in the up or down direction (let's assume up), and if you then have a second Stern-Gerlach device and measure the same electron as left/right, the electron is forced to randomly choose its left or right response (let's assume right) to that measurement because it's currently using its only spin-bit to represent up from the previous measurement. Okay, so now let's measure the electron up/down again, and while you might expect its response to be up because the initial up/down measurement indicated up, you would be wrong 50% of the time. You can do this over and over again, and each time you change the orientation of the Stern-Gerlach device, the electron will randomly choose a new response in the new orientation. Bell showed that the realist notion (that the electron somehow knew it was spin up before the first up/down measurement was made) is incorrect because prior to being measured, the electron is in a superposition of all spins. Subsequently, when you have maximum certainty in one orientation, you have minimum certainty in a perpendicular orientation. So, when two electrons are entangled, i.e., represented by the same wave function, they can be thought of as sharing or splitting a spin-bit, and when one electron is measured as spin up, the other is necessarily spin down, and this correlation happens over any distance instantaneously at the exact moment that the wave function collapses due to a measurement, much to Einstein's chagrin. Any trained physicist can feel free to kick my butt on anything I got wrong.

"Any trained physicist can feel free to kick my butt on anything I got wrong." anyone that says this, as opposed to making a blanket statement, is probably 90%+ there. So, if the electrons share/split the same information and are part of the same wavefunction, are they even different 'particles'?

@@edwardjenner1381 It's my understanding that they are two separate particles which share quantum properties due to their interaction, but are represented by one wave function, which is an additive function.

I thought this was an excellent and entertaining breakdown of an incredibly complex topic. Thank you.

I love and hare how often these big headlines are "we confirmed another aspect of theory" rather than something completely new. The wormhole in a quantum computer you mentioned in another video however is REALLY SUPER EXCITE.

Once I learned about the Moon Paradox, I knew things had become...fluid. Chalk it up to quantum superfluidity, since as soon as I look away I feel like it's watching me again.

I rarely feel the needs to correct something on this channel. It's gone on par and above my knowledge base in some cases. Certainly less mistakes than early on. I think that's awesome.

I just watched this documentary, called Everything Everywhere All at Once. Not only is the universe real, it's actually a multiverse. But none of that matters because there is no meaning, except that there is meaning. Also, sentient rocks do exists, so be nice to them. #family

Quantum entanglement does not allow for faster-than-light communication or travel. The results of the Bell test and CHSH experiment showed that the correlation between entangled particles cannot be explained by local variables, but the speed of this correlation is still limited by the speed of light. In other words, entangled particles can instantaneously affect each other, no matter how far apart they are, but this does not violate the laws of causality or the speed of light. Information cannot be transmitted faster than the speed of light, and entangled particles cannot be used for faster-than-light communication or travel. However, quantum entanglement does have the potential to revolutionize communication and computation, and it continues to be a fascinating and active area of research in physics and computer science.

This video incidentally serves as a great introduction to quantum mechanics, better than I've heard it summarised anywhere else!

My question is how do they get particles entangled? Like how do you entangle 2 particles, and then send them away from each other to test the spooky action at a distance? Every body seem to just skip that part and I always find this part fascinating. Can you try explain that in a future video?

They use math. After all everything is just math. The two particles aren't even real. In the old days, they used a stick in a hole and a rope to spin a particle in one direction. They put each particle on the top of a stick, coiled the rope around it, tied the ropes to a cow , and used a whip to drive the cows in opposite directions.

My understanding is they are entangled and get them out of this state to measure 'the spooky action at a distance'. Anyway quantum physics to me is a fun new way to explain magic in a whole new way.

By the way, I have a physicist friend that absolutely represents that entire macro objects actually are a wave function even in their entirety as an arrow. You have to abstract a bit, but it's not super hard to take at face value if you let yourself consider it.

For more context about the term "Bell inequality", it's not just the idea that quantum mechanics "is not equal to" local realism, a sort of oversimplification that seems to have been implied in the video. It is a literal mathematical inequality that places a theoretically derived upper bound on a measurable quantity under the assumption of local realism. We can then perform an experiment and, if this measurable quantity is found to exceed the theoretical upper bound (i.e. if it violates the inequality), we can conclude that the assumption of local realism is wrong.

Can you do a video on time, some of the illusion of time stuff really freaks me out sends me in a spin. I have OCD and a theme of mine is existential ocd and for periods of the last few years I’ve been really stuck on it. Periods though it’s been better I think if got a solid framework in my head to make sense of things. I just had like a relapse and it sends me into a really horrible state of mind. But I think I’ve got it sorted and a better way of making sense of things in a more nuanced less dogmatic less catastrophic kinda way.

@Joe - love Nebula, but can you try to tell your Nebula friends that we'd absolutely LOVE to see a native app for Samsung TVs? Keep up the great work guys!
