    I watched the MIT course in high school and it is really worth the time. It is actually what got me interested in quantum mechanics. Now I am a second year physics student and from time to time I make sure that whatever I am learning, I can teach others in the simplest words possible. As I am taking new courses, I realize that not everything can be explained in simple words. But people like you amaze me. It takes immense understanding and talent to teach people as effectively as you do. Kudos to you! :)

    I believe QM to be a pile of bull. It's like saying God created the the world in 7 days and if you ask how he could possibly do that the answer is "cause he is special like that". Doesn't make logical sense but some kind of quantum magic is happening. And i think if people believe the answers can't be known as i have often heard they will not be looking for them. Or atleast way less motivated to do so.

He kind of laughed at me (not really but the qay he said it felt condescending) and told me that they are 2 completely different things but he couldn't really explain either.

    @Tyler Learning false facts is worse than learning nothing at all imo. What is the point in learning QM when it is fundamentally flawed ? When you say "taught" i hear "indoctrinate". If you talk and than in the end say "this could be all wrong it's just our assumptions we agreed on" i don't care what you have to say. That's not science. I care about claims (statements of facts) and not opinions. If you identify with your believes (also the believe that QM is correct) the vast majority of people won't ask questions that could disprove their believes. Causes cognitive dissonance. So once someone entered into the quantum cult he won't ask if magnetism and gravity are related because they KNOW they are 2 seperate forces. Gravity is gravity and magnetism is part of electro magnetic forces. Einstein not understanding light saying "neither particle nor wave explains light but together they do" was such a brainfart but for some reason everybody jumped on board with it and the theories it gave birth to.

I can give you the math for egg boiling and how long of a boiling time will give you how hard of an egg. For the explanation i could make up some bs as long as i can wrap the math arround it.

    10:40 - *_"And then_** it's when it has to choose its final state of what polarization it is".* ...What if you put a third polarizer _after_ that? Will it not also block light depending on its angle? Unfortunately I don't have 3 polarizers at hand to experiment placing two of them at 45 degrees passing some 50% of the light and then placing a third one at various angles to see what happens. If anyone does have 3 polarizers at hand and would experiment, that would be cool. But I do have two polarizers and remembered that the light coming off of the LCD monitor is polarized, so I played with it - and found the weirdest effect: 1. Place a polarizer near your eye and orient it such that the LCD screen turns "black". 2. Keeping the filter near your eye and maintaining that orientation (black screen), put the second polarizer _between_ that first one and the LCD and rotate it. There will be a position where it will UNDO the blocking of that first polarizer, i.e, you will see a black LCD monitor screen as expected, but with the monitor image brightly passing _only_ through that second polarizer, in a funny "round crop" kind of effect. Not sure why that happens, but sure was unexpected.

    It is the measurement of color that causes the change. It’s called the measurement dilemma. No matter what, when you measure things on a quantum level you inevitably cause changes to occurs. In the case color and hardness are actually spin of an electron in the y and x axis. They cannot be both known simultaneously. If you measure one, then you now know nothing (50/50) about the other

    "The only time one specific elementary particle is not in super position is exactly when you're measuring it. As soon as it leaves your measurement device you have no idea what position it's in" You know, this is a pretty solid argument for simulation theory. Elementary particles not being "rendered" or "watched/measured" don't need a position to be in, because they're not in "sight", or "rendered". This is the same principle we use to optimize games and save computational power. Amazing video!

    Actually, if it’s 50/50 every time, and the electrons can change color and hardness as proven by sending the black electrons through the color box the second time, it would just mean that something affects the electrons that’s unrelated, like the polarity of a magnet - positive and negative inside the nucleus that determines you can’t have more than 50% of white/black hard/soft electrons in each location at any time. So what you’ve actually measured in the boxes are their space, not their ability to sort color and hardness, that affects the color and hardness. If the boxes always get a 50\50% result, it’s possible that the electron coming before the next one leaves some form of energy we need to measure better that lets the next electron know it needs to be the opposite of the one coming after or an accumulated mass of energy makes sure to stabilize itself after an x amount of electrons coming into it randomly. That just means we don’t know how to measure the right matter/energy. That’s all.

    So the way you described super-position is as a statistical function of not knowing the state of an object that we know has a state. However, that doesn't mean that the object is in an indeterminate state, it simply means you don't have a model that can accurately describe its movement. In your theoretical example, you start out by saying that the contents of the box doesn't matter to us, that we are simply examining outputs to understand how the box works. But then we end up with two counter-intuitive results in the 3 box experiments. One where it seems like the output of the color box was changed by the hardness box, and one where it seems like the combination of the two outputs of the hardness box rectifies the color back to the output of the color box. This phenomenon suggests that we don't know enough about how the boxes work internally to confirm that they are not affecting (changing) the state of particles coming through, even though you have assumed that they are only measuring. If I had to take a guess using logic (I'm a software engineer, so I work with theoretical logic to find software bugs on the regular), I would say the measurement of those boxes are actually splitting a component of a single entity and then redirecting them together (combining them) puts the components back together. Much like white light is actually a sum of red, green, and blue components. Or like a vector can be described by its component cartesian coordinates (x, y, z, etc.) This is apparent in your real-world experiment with polarizing filters. Though I'm a little bit disappointed that you didn't show the whole experiment which takes 3 lenses to complete. The 3 lens experiment shows that light can pass through the third one in a 0-45-90 configuration, even though it seems like light doesn't pass through the second one in a 0-90 configuration. This shows that the light is somehow being changed by the lenses, not just filtered, as we might assume. And if we take the understanding that you presented in a different episode that light slows down in various mediums because it is being absorbed and then released, or that light can be bent by the difference of two mediums. This suggests that light interacts and is changed by the molecules it comes in contact with. Then I would guess that the spin component of photons passing through the polarizing lenses doesn't just filter by the component, but actually shifts near component values to the angle of the lens. Am I missing anything?

    The conditions of the Schroedinger’s Cat thought experiment remain exactly the same but for the poison in the vile which would be replaced with an acid, the fumes of which would still be lethal to the cat, and a mechanism on the floor of the box which were the cat to lie/fall down for having died from the acid fumes, would cause the vile to tip over. If broken, its contents would spill onto the floor of the box and eat through to the outside. In this then, there would be no observer opening the box but rather a chain of interdependent, deterministic events which would at their end, in effect, be “reaching out” to the observer after the fact. In other words, the acid leaking from the box would only be possible were the cat dead and only dead. No dead cat, no leaking acid, no odor to alarm the observer that he might turn to see. To illuminate further, that necessary for the Schroedinger version of this scheme is that there be no consequence of events of the cat’s state as either alive or dead or even potentially one or the other. The cat’s state as alive or dead is the end of the sequence of events contained within the box. In my version in which the cat’s state is nested within a line of other deterministic events, those subsequent to the cat’s state cannot be realized materially unless the cat were dead and only dead. The observer would not have looked to see the acid on the ground at all but for the process having in a sense “reached out” to alert him to its presence (the odor of the acid). If, as might be claimed that his observation of the dripping acid would cause the wave form to collapse and the condition of the acid dripping to manifest then how could it have been manifest already that it might capture his attention that he might turn to observe it to then cause the wave form to collapse so that it could be dripping to alert him which it was and had to be in the first place? This argument makes no sense and defies the same brand or current of logic by which the experiment was initially defined. Here the acid on the ground (the cat being dead) is the cause of the observation and not the effect as the state of the cat in the box (Schroedinger’s version) after it is opened that the cat might be observed. Additionally, it might be claimed that during the time the acid was eating through the bottom of the box that the cat would be in superposition and dead and alive at once and that the subsequent hole created by the acid would cause the wave form to collapse and the cat to then be dead or alive. However, this would then demonstrate that the original proposition as per Schroedinger was in error in the manner those of the Copenhagen school accepted it as a means of understanding superposition (of composite entities). It should be clear that there could not be the acid on the ground “and” the acid not having eaten through the box in the same manner that the hammer in the box in the original Schroedinger version had both fallen to break the vile and not. I would think that there is no reason to expound on that understanding. As stated above, the means by which the wave form would collapse in the original version of the thought experiment was solely that the box was opened and the cat observed. This other claim then that the wave form would collapse merely because a hole was burned into the bottom of the box by the acid such that it could escape but insufficient for the observer to see the cat inside via this hole could not be true without contradicting the original understanding. It cannot be both. Were the experiment to take place, rather than in a box, under an open bottom dome which blocked the observation of the cat until it was lifted, would the cat be in superposition? Resolving this would answer the questions posed above. If observation is required to collapse the wave form then anyone trying to refute my scenario must compose some work-around this possible logical contradiction.

    I understand QM 🤦🏻‍♂️ and it’s easy. It’s called STOP FOLLOWING WHATEVER PHYSICISTS SAY. They almost NEVER tell you amidst all this fairytale that they create that it’s all just a stupid philosophical interpretation called the Copenhagen Interpretation. I very very very rarely hear anyone discuss these fairytale ideas of probability or particle being everywhere without them first mentioning those ideas are just philosophical and not concrete science. Google it, really.! “Copenhagen interpretation”.
