... That these processions of energy particles appear as wave phenomena when subjected to certain observations is due to the resistance of the undifferentiated force blanket of all space, the hypothetical ether, and to the intergravity tension of the associated aggregations of matter. 42:5.15 (476.1) The excitation of the content of space produces a wavelike reaction to the passage of rapidly moving particles of matter, just as the passage of a ship through water initiates waves of varying amplitude and interval.

I think light is like elastic, but instead of stretching in space, it stretches in time. Every photon is tethered at one end at the beginning of time, and at the other end the end of time, and is stretched, like a rubber band, between these two points, but it simultaneously exists along the entire timeline.

I did a small study on light for my reef aquarium and the symbiotic zooxanthellae algae many corals need to feed on. Coral bleaching is _not_ caused by too warm water, it is caused by lack of light that starves the algae and it doesn't take much light blocking pollution to do it. But the wavelengths of light that was needed for corals tended more towards the blue range as blue light has the most energy. This was before the availability of full spectrum LEDs and we used a blue actinic fluorescent bulb. You look at colors underwater and the first light to go is red as it has the least energy. Have you ever seen water off a boat that looked green, but when you put your hand in the water it was clear? That can tell you the depth of the water you're in is about 30 feet and the light reflected back to you is green as well. 60 feet is about as deep as green goes, then it's all blue and purple is the last color you see. You see the same effect looking at the side of a thick pane of glass. All this about light and yet there are no green stars, but their light is a result of temperature. All those bleached out corals have recovered by the way and are doing fine.

Keep in mind that while we observe the Photon to travel at the speed of causality, from the Photons perspective the "speed" is Infinite. no time passes for the photon itself. the photon cant mesure any time between its departure and arrival. departure and arival happen at the same time therefore if you send 2 photons at different points in time that are close enough to each other they can interfere and seem to interefere with the past because WE experience time.

One of my key takeaways is - To test / to detect means to interfere. You cannot look at a light without blocking it. You cannot observe anything by any method without affecting the result. Also particles in space do get affected by the space itself. Particles we fail to detect as of yet are still traveling through our detectable particles and affecting them, potentially causing the entanglement. We're still breaking down particles into their consituents and are hitting serious limits with testing equipment, as to detect increasingly smaller and weaker energy emited by those particles becomes near impossible. I heard that the light appearing to travel back in time was caused by error in testing environment/methodology.

By controlling experimental conditions, these photon pairs can be emitted sequentially. Another approach involves using atoms or molecules in excited states, which can emit individual photons as they return to lower energy states. These methods require precise control and often involve optical devices like beam splitters and mirrors. Detection systems are crucial for identifying and recording individual photons.

After doing physics many years ago at school and always had an interest in this stuff I’d recently started to wonder just how long is a photon. I found a great video by HuygensOptics puzzling the same question, he did a fantastic vid about this explaining about the dual slit and duality. Basically the photon is actually huge, it is definitely not a point like particle, it’s a wave that occupies a large area as it propagates through space, I.e. the electromagnetic wave is oscillating in two directions, if this is interrupted it then collapses to a point. This explains why a single photon can pass through both slits and interfere with itself. Watch his video it cleared up a lot for me, but as we all know light is insanely nonsensical

I concur! HuygensOptics seems to me to demystify the duality. Basically, an electromagnetic wave is spread (unequally) in space and can vary in magnitude continuously following the inverse square rule. BUT - to interact with a highly localized atom or molecule, it is all or none - a quantum event that happens or doesn't, and follows the probabilties of quantum mechanics. It is the receptor atom that has quantum & highly localized properties, not the wave.

Unfortunately this produces a lot of brain farts, like this video - explaining "the obvious" in obscure and illogical ways. Nature is always extremely simple when we actually learn the basics, so forget about time travel and entanglement, this is just the human mind getting carried away...

Surface Interaction, is the process by which molecules or atoms on the surface of a material interact with external stimuli, such as light, other particles, or electromagnetic radiation. It is thought to be the prime reason behind light’s behavior, in the double slit experiment.

I have seen so many videos on this subject. This one nicely summarises the main experimental outcomes. There is still so much to be understood with quantum mechanics.

I don't understand the confusion. Waves propagate until they are measured. So, surely, the wave propagates down both routes in all scenarios. When there is only one detector, the probability distribution collapses to a single detector with 50/50 probability when it reaches the defectors. When you introduce a second beam splitter after the wave has propagated through the first, the wave interacts with it when it reaches it and its probability distribution is affected accordingly. What am I missing?

That last one makes sense to me (the delayed choice). It would be weird if it didn't react to the second beam splitter. Look at it from the light's perspective. Moving at velocity c as light famously does, the lorentz factor is infinite (the universe's divide by zero error). This means light doesn't experience time. From the reference frame of the light, it is emitted and absorbed in the same instant. The splitter being added or removed can't occur between chronologically. It's everything all at once with light.

The double split experiment is the most misunderstood experiment in physics. The problem is in the detection, they say "simply by observing it it changes" That's an incorrect description of what happens though. Let's say me and you are in a dark room with absolutely no light. I'm in the corner making no sound. How would you know I'm there? You would have to find a way to detect me. The easiest way would be to turn a light on. Hey look! I'm over there! The problem is In order to see me, you had to touch me. You had to bounce photons off of me and then receive them. So by the very nature of observing something you have to perturb it. By doing so you change it collapsing the wave function. It's not observing the data that changes it it's the sensor being on that changes it.

@@Aaronjpolk no it isn't though. It's a huge anomaly in quantum physics and if it was as simple as 'oh equipment changes it from wave to particle' they would have realized. The sensor does not pick it up until information has already been processed (in this case, photons have already passed through the slit). The sensor is picking up on the wave/photon AFTER the slit, but the photon is 'deciding' its move BEFORE the slit. So if it was changed from wave to particle after sensor, and not the slit, we would have completely different results. Example being photons dispersed in areas that should be shadows, if it was changed due to the post-slit sensor.

This is one of the best videos. I love this guys grounded yet wondrous infatuation with the universe.

Best I can figure when the light is projected, there’s a lot of “dark” (undetected) waves being projected as well and that’s what the light interferes with. The interference only occurs if the waves line up, so when the delayed splitter is added, the light and dark waves line up again, whereas without it they’re traveling in different directions so there’s no interference.

Great video, loved how you explained so complicated experiments!

When lightning begins to spread from the cloud, it travels in multiple directions at once. If it's heading towards the ground, it will form the familiar reverse-tree-like pattern. However, once it connects, the entire charge rushes through the established path, ignoring all the other branches it created along the way.

@@JVP_thephobic it only changes when we check because measuring requires the energy to interact with other particles. There is another level which EM exists on where the energy goes out in every direction and is divided infinitely. Since it goes out equally in every direction, but it still has to choose a path of least resistance, it will choose a random direction (no specific path requires less energy than the others) unless it is impossible to choose a specific direction like with entanglement. On our level of reality, the physical medium which we see the effects of EM energy through, that energy cannot be divided below a certain threshold. Thats why we see the particle, the lowest unit of measurement for that energy. Therefore, it is infinifely divided until the energy has to go somewhere, at which point it turns back into a particle and the ripple of infinitely divisible energy starts again until it his something that causes it to be indivisible below a certain level again (something being interacting with the physical world in any way). Much like the lightning bolt analogy, the energy explores every path until it finds one to collapse down. The EM field cannot be detected, but we can only measure the impacts it has on our reality.

A 3-dimensional being can explain "height" to a 2-dimensional being, but make him/her understand it is another matter. (No point of reference.) So by this logic, our 3-dimensional universe exists within a 4th or 5th physical dimensional universe, and light is one of those little exceptions to the rule, so it sneaks through dimensions as it travels, but becomes fixed as it's measured. We humans, think ourselves "advanced" we can perceive the 3 dimensions in our universe, but we are very limited, we can walk forwards and backwards, left or right, but we have very limited capacity to move up or down, heck, birds and fish beat us by moving in 3 dimensions far more easily than us, it is very likely that birds and fish have a very small perception of the 4th dimension, since they have a far better grasp of the 3rd dimension than us.

Though there is not one single formular or complex maths when trying to imagine that idea, it does make the acceptance of quantum mechanics a lot clearer, at least to me!

I think the double-slit experiment results have something to do with how the detectors at the slits actually detect the photons. It seems to me that you can't detect anything without somehow redirecting some level of energy from the thing you're detecting. Whatever that energy is gets siphoned off the photon by the detector leaving a particle remnant. I don't know. You're right - this does kind of hurt my brain.

Wave, Particle Duality, Better explanation? It is only an idea on my part but it goes something like this: 1. Charged particles have their associated magnetic fields with them. 2. Protons and electrons are charged particles and have their associated magnetic fields with them. 3. Photons also have both an electrical and magnetic components to them. 4. Whenever a proton, electron, or photon is shot out of a gun, it's respective magnetic field interacts with the magnetic fields of the electrons in the atoms and molecules of the gun itself, the medium the projectile is traveling through (ie: air), and/or from around the slits themselves. 5. Via QED (quantum electrodynamics), newly generated photons might occur. 6. The projectile goes on it's own way and the newly generated photons go on their own way. It gives the illusion of a wave particle duality, but it is not that way in actual reality. 7. Specifically in the case of protons or electrons, the newly generated EM wave travels faster than the particles. The new EM waves go through both slits and sets up "hills and valleys" of field energy. When the proton or electron goes through one of the slits, it then follows whatever "valley" it enters thereby over time, even shooting only one proton or one electron at a time, the interference pattern will still emerge. 8. As far as detectors are concerned, they probably have an energy field that is one way when on and a different way when off. The interaction of this energy field (or the lack thereof) with whatever is passing through it, gives the indication that is observed. Now, for those who hold fast to reality being probability waves that are condensed down by an observer into one single physical reality, then: a. What exactly are these probability waves made up of? b. Where exactly are these probability waves stored at until they are observed? c. How exactly does an observer in physical reality actually observe these probability waves and condense them down into one single physical reality? d. Who and/or what observed the first observer? e. What exactly happens when two or more observers observe different probability waves? Which one takes precedent in physical reality? For me, while this observer condensing probability waves down into one single physical reality might work well on paper, it does not appear to reflect actual reality. Now, utilizing the scientific principal of Occam's razor, which way is more probably correct? My way by utilizing known scientific principals, or that is as discerned on paper as stated above is how reality actually is?

My only understanding of this subject has been from watching yt videos when they pop up. Please forgive my lack of understanding. But how about this as a basic hypothesis: Your measuring equipment is affecting the behavior of light. Look closer at the photons and you'll find they have an off-centre wobble. Kind of like a bicycle wheel with a heavy weight on one side. It will naturally result in a wave form even if only 1 photon is sent. The 'testing mechanism' stops/settles the wobble. Therefore, it will show as a settled photon when tested and a wave when not tested. What affects the wobble? Well, so far, all I can tell is it has something to do with the apparatus you're testing which slit the photon is passing through. And I can see its possible to re-start the wobble through a 2nd testing apparatus (as per the results of that last test). Thank you for a wonderful episode that makes it possible to try wrap my head around something that I have so little understanding of!

I would conjecture that in the Q world, time is accessible as space in nanosecond values. The convention of c for the macro world may mean that the value is actually escape velocity from a proton.

What if light is in a higher dimension, and it only intersects when it interacts with our physical reality? So its not about how fast lights "move", its about how fast our dimensions can interact with it. Like a framerate of the universe, if you will. It can potentially be anywhere (and maybe it is, in a higher dimension), but our experience of it is limited by the intersection and time of our physical dimensions. It looks like a particle, because that is the intersection. But like a hole in a paper target, the bullet going through it is not actually the shape of the hole. It has a length and a tip, which you cannot tell from the hole in the paper where it penetrated. The same way, our dimensions cannot tell the full shape of the light, because we can't experience more than our 3 dimensions (4 if you count time). Because of time, it looks random. And we can't go back in time, so we can't say if it would be the same if we did the same measurement over. Since time is always passing, every measurement measures a different part.

That’s what I thought at first

As a musician of over 60 years I can attest the essence of a stream of music has the capability to effect its various listeners in a multiplicity of understanding. Succinctly based on how focused the listener is on both watching the performer (light ) as as well as listening (aural) to the performers sound. At this stage both the musician and listener interact as both begins to focus on primarily one an other, thus becoming entangled in the whole of the music. When it began playing as well as to where it ends up. In a live performance. This is the phenom that the musician strives for and the listening desires to experience. Which possibly could be the cause of Pythagoras hyper focusing on the properties of music as many physicists and mathematicians have done in recorded scientific discoveries. Music is the ether the magnetic field of the consciousness of all living things. Ex: Birds chirping etc. the core of language is the contour of a spoken word. A mother hearing a crying baby will walk to the baby and shake a rattle in front of its face while singing a reply like. LOOk At thE RATtle. In a melodic contour of sound rather than in a monotone- LOOK AT THE RATTLE. This is how every living thing learns to communicate when first born. As such light interacts as a single photon ( the initial attack of the sound) to its development the wavelike shape ( contour) to its decay ( silence) . Hence probably the reason many physicists were and are also musicians at some capacity . As some musicians study the physics of sound based on there effect on an audience. The third body principle comes into play as it reveals its magic between both the musicians and the listeners consciousness based on each others level of focus at any moment in time of the piece of music being performed.

Not sure what is implied in "if the fastest path is back in time..." but the flow of time is actually far more complicated than that. In the Charge, Parity, and Time reversal symmetry (CPT symmetry), if you were to reverse said things, the resulting system will behave exactly as it does now, so no change in causality. If you're talking more about the perception of time or direction of entropy, they're massively different thing. So reversing CPT symmetry wouldn't have any effect to us. Reversing entropy would mean that we couldn't possibly be observing anything since our biological organism (feelings, memories etc.) rely on the forward flow of time. It's very hard to say what would happen if universal constants would change (speed of causality etc.) or even reverse. Probably that would mess up the whole system and eradicate our existence in an instance.

Actually, when you're going at the speed of light, the time of the whole rest of the universe is ticking infinitely fast. For all intents and purposes, you see yourself going infinitely fast. This means you hit whatever you hit at the end of your journey instantaneously. If it takes a trillion years for you to hit that thing as seen from an outside observer, to you it takes exactly zero microseconds. You won't have to wait. Photons do not experience time at all. In fact, everything travels through spacetime at the same velocity, the speed of light. We travel most of that into the time direction, but light travels this into the space direction, leaving nothing left for the time direction, thereby time stops for photons as seen from an outside observer. It stops entirely. As seen from the photon, it arrives as soon as it is created, and not even a fraction of an attosecond later, no matter how far the photon traveled. This is general relativity. Watch PBS spacetime to learn all about that and much more.

This makes reality have two faces, in one it is probabilistic and in the other deterministic. During light propagation, entropy travels in both directions, so delayed choice makes sense. But in classical level entropy travels in only one direction and laws of physics are different than the laws of the quantum reality. This is much like SUPER SYMETRY.

I have long grappled with many of these questions for years....

Good content again, and this one is surprisingly well done. Thanks!

This one is worth watching a few times for me. I’ve been learning from you since Wonders of the Solar System. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and curiosity about our universe with us. ❤ Next time you’re in Michigan feel free to look me up and I’ll teach you all about my tropical plants I grow. I find them endlessly fascinating as well 😌 😉

Very good video. I wasn't aware of the experiments by Professor Riccardo Sapienza, thank you for making this available to me. I wish more people would be interested in this kind of stuff.

Yes , data can be sent back in time . I have had 3 episodes of information - visual - coming back thru time . Theres also been 5 instances of knowing when others have been killed , unexpectedly , or were known to be doeing , from at the time , and out to a year .
