@@adammarkiewicz3375 If it expands in momentum space, that means we know less about its velocity. Let's say you have a quantum cat. You can only take a quick snapshot of its position or take a long-exposure shot of its velocity. If you want to measure one, you can't measure the other (you only have one camera). If you know where the cat is, there's no motion blur, so you can't see where it's going, and vice versa. This means if the cat is in a box, guaranteed, you can't tell how it's moving, so you could say the cat has "expanded in momentum space." Did I take this analogy too far? Maybe. Did I pick cats because I like them? Also maybe.

Although i don’t really blame him since it seems an acquired taste.

By momentum-space, is this referring to the velocity/temperature of the neutrons? Such that the more movement (momentum) the neutrons have, the less physical space (position) they need to occupy because of the uncertainty principle?

If I’ve got it right; their momentum means they have more quantum fuzziness, so you can pack more in because they’re acting like probability waves? I love learning about this stuff, but with quantum mechanics it seems you can know what particles do, but never fully understand or visualise why.

Can we visualize this in the "lowest state" illustration at 3:47 ? Does a high position uncertainty mean that one neutron sort of occupies more than one state and shoves other neutrons aside? If we allow for arbitrarily high uncertainty in momentum, can we find a theoretical absolute minimum size for a proper neutron star of a given mass?

5:43 I had never seen that representation for neutron stars before. Does this mean that, assuming general relativity and a non-rotating black hole, if the star is spatially condensed in one point then the star in the momentum-space has infinite size?

I have been down that curiosity rabbit hole before a couple of times... A surprisingly challenging question to answer. What I took away was that the lights "phase speed" (the speed at which crests/troughs progress through a medium) slows down because it induces new EM waves by oscillating the charged particles in the material. Because this reaction is not perfectly instantaneous the induced wave is retarded in phase. When these two waves are then added together the resulting wave is also slight retarded in its phase producing the slowing down of light that is observed. Anyone know there shit? Am I on the money?

@@PulseCodeMusic You are on the money. I would only add for clearification that no individual photon is actually slowing down, because otherwise there might be some misleading conclusions following.

Position-space (regular space we all are familiar with) is just a "thing", that has three different properties, and therefore anything that exists in space, has three numbers, assigned to those properties. Luckily it just so happens that we can perceive that thing with our eyes. So called momentum-space is just another thing with another (three?) properties, but this time we cannot see it. Nevertheless, anything, that exists in the momentum-space, has another (three?) numbers, assigned to those properties.

The correct thing to say would be that energy is a property that both matter and radiation have. So nothing converts to energy, energy is just transferred from one quantum field (matter) to another (electromagnetic), to put it simply.

Great video as always. This reminded me of a question I thought about but hadn’t taken the time to really find an answer to, namely how much energy is required to create a blackhole that is relatively stable compared to a time span that humans typically observe. To clarify, the smaller a black hole is the faster it evaporates due to Hawking radiation. So while it might be possible for a cosmic ray colliding with a molecule to form a subatomic sized black hole for example the black hole would evaporate too quickly to have any lasting effect (which is probably for the best since our atmosphere is bombarded by cosmic rays all the time.) But if we did want to create a microscopic black hole in the lab, how large would it have to be in order to be observable for a sustained period and how much energy is required to produce it? Most likely creating any sort of black hole would require particle acceleration to collide matter into other matter since the bound energy in matter is already massively greater than the amount of energy in typical photons in the same volume of space. So I’m assuming a man-made kugelblitz using lasers would be completely impractical even for microscopic black holes. But is it possible in practical terms to make a collider that can force enough matter at high enough energy into a small enough space to create a hole that can stick around and be observed?
