    I love these straight forward explanations of physics! Similar to the explanation of the special theory of relativity. Very cool (and nice work)! This is lecture room 26-100 right?(spent many a hour in the back right corner trying to keep up ;) )

    Обращаюсь к Вам с предложением на совместное изобретения ГИБРИД гироскопа из некруглых, ДВУХ катушек с новым типом оптического волокна с «полой сердцевиной из фотоно-замещенной вакуумной зоной или (NANF)», где - свет в каждом плече проходит по 48000 метров при этом, не превышает параметры 40/40/40 см., и вес - 4кг. Предприятия по выпуску "Волоконно-оптических гироскопов" может выпускать ГИБРИД гироскопы, для учебно практического применения в школах и высших учебных заведений. Эйнштейна мечтал измерить скорость поезда, самолёта - через опыт Майкельсона Морли 1881/2024 г., и только тогда, опыт будет выполнен больше чем 70%. Это возможно выполнить с помощью оптоволоконного ГИБРИД гироскопа. Вот исходя из выполненного более 70% опыта Майкельсона, возможно доказать постулаты: Свет - это упорядоченная вибрация гравитационных квантов и доминантные гравитационные поля корректируют скорость света в вакууме. (Мы, не ищем эфир, мы увидим работу квантов гравитации) В итоге увидите *теорию всего* в простом учебном устройстве и новую рулетку, чтобы измерить Вселенную.

    Glad to see in the comments that I'm not the only one gawking at the needle mysteriously going up and down and finding that particular analog-driven invention equally interesting as the cesium atoms ablating somewhere and passing through a split, through a magnetic field and hitting a not further explained detector to make said needle move. It's just voltages and resistances fed into an amplifier, being driven by natural unseen forces that make meticulously set up matter function like an analog graph maker even more enigmatic in its function until one looks at the graphs and takes a few semesters in College/University to even know which courses to take to learn more about it. Our ancestors gave us the tools we took for granted.

  • @br3nto
    @br3nto2 ай бұрын

    I don’t think there can be a conclusion made that spin is “quantum”. The rational given is that the axis or angular momentum will precess in the magnetic field and the angle of that will be based on the orientation when entering the magnetic field. The only issue with this is that the particle is charged. As the particle precesses, it should experience a force. Surely that force will eventually cause the particle to completely align with the magnetic field. This would also explain why measuring spin a second time from a different orientation will have a 50/50 chance of being spin aligned or anti-aligned.

    This part is explained in the asymetric field, as explained at 20:00; if you increased the field you wouldnt increase the dieflection of the beam symmetrically, it would favor the stronger field of the two differenty inhomogenous fields, leaning on direction. However it doesnt do this, it either goes all left or all right, showing that there is a type of angular momentum which is being unaccounted for which has two values(two peaks) which is called spin. If they used a homogenous field where both magnets are the same strength and shape, I think you would have a very good point.

    Very cool! I have not seen this experiment in a long time. To be more exact, I only saw it once in an undergrad experimental physics class and that was almost half a century ago. Having said that, I have done lots of nuclear magnetic resonance as a student, which is kind of equivalent, except that it's being done in the time domain.

    You made my day with the demonstration of the precession of the bar magnet on the air bearing, starting at 19:06 and particularly 20:32. This is a fantastic film and I wish I was shown these things when I learned about atomic spin and NMR the first time.
