I disagree. It's important to demonstrate key experiments and talk about how to interpret the observations, what assumptions are being made, constructing models consistent with the observations. Sometimes assumptions aren't obvious even to the physicist, and fresh perspectives of students may bring them into clarity. For example, the famous Compton scattering experiment is thought by mainstream physicists to have proven that matter is particles, not waves, but it really showed only that matter isn't classical waves.

@@brothermine2292 Even without key experiments demonstration it is important to give people the correct non-confusing explanation. We can show and demonstrate multiple quantum mechanics experiment and rant about what it means missing the key points. The key point being the predictions, which are tested with the experiments. Quantum mechanics is not something produced by higher beings that forces nature to work in weird ways. Quantum mechanics is our model(made my humans) of the nature that allows us to make accurate predictions about things we actually measure. It is not exact, there are limitations and assumptions made on the way. Quantum mechanics just like any other model has its boundaries, beyond which its predictions would diverge significantly from the observations. The interpretations are not that important and answers they are trying to give are useless, because the theory itself isn't applicable everywhere. It is very important to make distinctions between theoretical descriptions and real world. When physicists talk they have implicit context about working and making predictions within some model, while a regular person listening thinks they talk about real world.

@@linuxgaminginfullhd60fps10 : I disagree. First, for many physicists, being able to calculate reliable predictions is indeed "key" as you say, but it doesn't logically follow that the basic QM experiments should not be presented when teaching QM to non-physicists or to physics students. Second, although it's been many months since I watched this video and I may have forgotten most of its content, I think it didn't attempt to teach Nick's viewers (nor his wife) how to make QM predictions (which would require teaching some math), and I think learning how to calculate QM predictions is not what most of his viewers and wife want. Third, many physicists and philosophers of science during the last couple of decades have rejected the "shut up and calculate" mantra (which was useful to keep physicists productive during the Cold War arms and technology race) and are interested in improving the models and trying to find the best model. You shouldn't try to dissuade people from being interested in the true nature of reality just because you personally lack curiosity about it. It seems quite plausible to me that the strategy of scrutinizing the QM models' assumptions is more likely to lead to fundamental advances, after the strategy of "shutting up and calculating" predictions has already finished harvesting its low-hanging fruit. Presenting the experiments and reconstructing the assumptions and arguments that led from experiments to models seems like the best way to expose unstated or flawed assumptions. The history of science shows that discarding flawed assumptions has often been the way forward.

Physicists really need to invent their own language.

Oh boy, I can't even begin telling you how much I agree with you! I want all specialists to create their own vocabulary, and stop repurposing words they borrow from everyday language! Just the other day, Neil deGrasse Tyson was going on and on about why you should say "mass" instead of "weight" in sentences like "What's your weight" or "I've gained / lost weight." I kept screaming at the screen that in everyday English, "weight" _is_ correct! "Mass" means different things to different specialists-doctors, musicians, economists etc. I'd love to overhear his conversation with his doctor about his weight. Or see what he writes on forms that ask for his weight. Indeed, medicine did a good thing by bringing in words from Latin. However, not all of biology did that. Botanists, unfortunately, did the same lazy thing like physicists. They say that-among others-cucumbers, eggplants (brinjal), and okra (ladies' fingers) are _fruits,_ but apples, pears, and strawberries are not. Huh? Sabine Hossenfelder likewise said that peanuts are not nuts. She's right of course-but only in a strict botanical sense. In everyday English, "nuts" can mean several different things, _and it includes peanuts!_ If you're allergic to peanuts, and someone asks "Are you allergic to nuts?" I strongly advise that you speak up. Don't stay silent-that would be nuts!

@billclinton6040

@@nHans Just because you haven't taken the time to contemplate and understand why botanists classify something like the strawberry as a non-fruit doesn't invalidate the classification making it or the botanists worthy of ridicule. But, for someone who understands the reason it can be quite helpful even if they are an average consumer. Again, using strawberries as an example, the reason they aren't classified as a fruit is because the strawberry is actually the stem of the plant. This explains why strawberries don't ripen after they are picked, just like how rhubarb doesn't "ripen" once you pick it, because even the average consumer can understand through everyday experience how the stem of a plant and ripening just don't go together. Now armed with this understanding, it is easy to see why strawberries should only be picked when fully ready because a "green" strawberry won't "ripen" any further once picked. Or, if buying strawberries, they should be either refrigerated or immediately consumed because trying to ripen them like a true fruit will only result in moldy strawberries.

In Quantum Mechanics, Superposition is one quantum state which is the sum of many quantum states, encompassing "many" classical states. Superposition is a probability distribution (wave function). When measurement takes place, the wave function "collapses" and "actualizes".

That was amazingly insightful. Cheers!
