Neil deGrasse Tyson and Sean Carroll Discuss Controversies in Quantum Mechanics
Video Overview & Insights
What is the nature of quantum physics? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice get quantum, exploring Schrodinger’s Cat, electrons, Hilbert Space, and the biggest ideas in the universe (in the smallest particles) with theoretical physicist Sean Carroll.
How do you think quantum mechanics might revolutionize our digital world?
When did the idea of fields originate? Are fields even real or are they just mathematically convenient? We explore electrons, whether they are a field, and whether they exist at all. We also discuss the wave function, Hilbert Space, and what quantum mechanics really is. Do superpositions always exist?
What would happen if Planck’s Constant were macroscopic? Learn about entangling particles and the longest entanglement distances. If the particles are entangled why would the distance matter? Could we make an internet with quantum entanglement? We break down Schrodinger’s cat, its interpretations, and what the thought experiment really means. Do superpositions always exist?
Man I love Neil and Chuck! It’s always so fun and lighthearted. Just a good ole time getting our minds blown and chillin💯🙌🏼
Are there quantum manifestations in the macro-universe? We explore the microwave background, inflation, and how we discovered that atoms are mostly empty. Sean gives his latest takes on dark matter, dark energy, emergence, and free will. Plus, is dark energy really the cosmological constant?

I always get annoyed when people say :"it's impossible, the laws of physics don't allow it" 😊and yet we managed to create on Earth a Sun with core temperature much higher than the real Sun. I believe Einstein it's just the first steo of a long latter and probably if we need to understand the Universe or quantum physics or unite all in the holy grail equation we need to be more radical. Probably the beginning of the Universe is something that for sure were not able to understand at least not now and probably when we really find out, it will shock us.

seems physics is a bit too much internally political. and seems to be the main reason qm and gr cant be combined. each side has too much to gain following their own egos. if someone has a definite formula showing the case, everyone would still debate it for 50 years.

You can't observe your own self. You can observe yourself through reflections. Like a mirror. And if you want to observe infinite reflections of your self, you have mirrors all around you. Once you observe your infinite reflections, your reflections know it is you observing your own self. Because there is only you making the observation. Even though there are infinite reflections of you.

if an electron is a vibration that we measure- is that how we got to the theory that there is only one electron and it being in different dimensions it makes up the entirety of the tree, not that there are actually different electrons. (basing this off a different episode)

One thing doesnt mean its just Our Rhealm of existence from just one - but Not Able to see outside our given site ~ that it WAS from Every direction " ALL AT ONCE " stil No Slowing because there are no edges because the total expanse is futher than we could EVER MEASURE ! .

which isnt a blackhole entangled matter turning into a major gravity field - also proving gravity gravity is actually stronger than first thought - wonder if you could put and on / off switch on that - 🤔
@JamesFox1Between ads and tangents filled with horrible jokes, it's almost impossible to gain some understanding.
@BryceColdd💯
@Robin-Lusekelo_baidMwamimbe.31I’m confused. How does the mathematics prove different worlds? I understand the quantum physics of super position, but I’m confused how that proves different worlds.
@madimcd95Finally! Someone admits it. "It is speculation" As if we don't have enough mysteries to solve without creating scenarios that are as absurd as religion.
@OshkoshbigoshThe problem with the argument of the math proves it, we put in the variables that we think restrict or should I say complete the system, so the answer and the equation has to be right. But we realise later that oh, we did not know about that factor so now this changes that, or the equation changes, or the reality does not match the equation.. Oh, the universe might not be expanding or this or that...
@carlgregoire6446Don’t use the cat metaphor. It’s dumb and distracting.
Just use a mirror.
Good stuff, Maynard...
@joe-m2e4rAll this quantum discussion sounds like a way to describe probability and then claiming that it’s reality. Physics gone up its own backside because it can’t fully explain a problem. Maybe we just reached the limit of our understanding.
@PatricksBreastplateThat tyson guy is nothing but a TV personality. He is no physicist. He may have the degree, but so what. Everything that comes out of that guys mouth I already know, and he's just speaking from muscle memory.
@ratdad48Just get to it already...
@MattH-zy9gpHi guys!
I made a space rocket. Now give me some money!
Mentos and Coke, baby 😂
So...multiple worlds thing... is that experimentally falsifiable?
@coffeeabernethy2823If electrons don't really exist, what about all the phenomenon, hundreds of years worth, that we understand in terms of electrons? How are are they now to be explained? Now if you answer, 'Oh, none of that changes one bit, it's just they may not be really real', I'll be thinking, 'As far as I'm concerned, you are not really real'.
@arthurwieczorek4894So 'entanglement' is just the same wave on the other side, in the same way all water molecules are entangled to each other in chains.
I get why they added the third guy, but I would prefer just the two, it is offputting..
Its uniform, because its a program.
@Duane-k1mI hate when they casually say God doesnt exist. Science told you that?
@rubblebreakNo way this sean carroll guy is lasting. He is so annoying to listen to, sounds arrogant and condescending. My god. It's very cringy. He talks like he is talking with a child
@Krje220:45 - "The world isn't located in space, space is located in each world"... if the world refers to each human being. Cats are a part of the AI man made... you went astray and made animals from human flesh. These animals have no life energy. In the beginning, anyone who remembers, especially animal lovers, read about how science didn't know much about animals, and did studies. They found out dogs could dream... and I guess, as the world evolved, they began dreaming in color. So, scientists were actually tilling dreams. They can never extract. Never. All fish, animals, birds - are all AI. They have no human energy. But when mankind corrupted their energy by "humanizing them" (as this was a drastic change, making animals more tameable too, I noticed... so, it's all bad. Like slavery...), so, you can't go by anything mankind corrupted. These came through "sin".
So, I don't understand sinners' fixation in finding ways to experiment on the living. They stole from some human being, a piece of dna, then, made animals, fish, or whatever from them, just to experiment on second hand human flesh. This is fcking BS.
The nutty doctors should have been the ones taken down and put in a straight jacket. Who the fck let the dogs out?
Electrons exist. Yes. We know this because of tesla like energies in the air. For electromagnetic static, for example, you have one point of charge to another point, when it comes to lightening. So, electrons are present as a connector. These are born due to hot and cold energy due to friction, creates particles called electrons.
Electrons cause static electricity. It's like the satellites/stars for example - signals bounce from earth through the satellites into a receiving antenna. This too, causes friction or static. Especially when mankind made a secret device to act as a receiver to these connections, and it DOES CAUSE FRICTION. THE TYPE NO ONE WANTS...
Basically, electrons, in scientific sense, are charged molecules... they're charged with energy. So, that's why, the moon, the sun and the stars serve as signs... people who mirror these, mirror neutron, proton, and/or electrons. And earth is supposed to be the nucleus/Blue Planet. But the moon is symbolic of the dead one, so - we don't believe in this one.
However, these ways are being transferred to the moon, the sun, and the stars, from where it came. All corrupt ways.
So, if you think this generation is new, you're wrong... everything in this life is very old. I know this for sure. This is very very old. Something everyone knows. Except sinners.
So, here, real time is on timeout, while we are in "ions". This is the division. Where, sinners get to see what carbon ions does to the living when they are free... and what it means to have built the pathway of their own lies - to basically have to lay their own life down, to save the world... that's what that means... they shouldn't have made it at all... but to think the world should walk that plank, well, they should have thought twice... why should the innocent have to live out the sh*tty roles made up by sh*tty builders?
I always believed only the ones who made it for us, should have to live it. No means no to sin, and those who judge via sin, only does so to get judged. That's what these concepts mean when restored back to its true meaning... and not taken out of context by mankind who wanted to take matters into their own hands, and it was sinners, because they went into the "negative". The signs are all there. The universe is too strong and overwhelming for you and this corrupt world alone... even if the entire world was corrupt (which they aren't), you would still be like a mustard seed... like a speck, a period in the eyes of the UNANIMOUS that you never considered...
What did they do to you as a result? They made it so that you never see the Blue Planet, to never find the door...
But you know, it's all around. But to say, the Universe is void and empty, mirrors how you treated the Living on earth, when you felt entitled to set yourselves to rule over them, as if they were the waters for the moon to rest upon... as the iron troubles the waters... that's the empire - everyone who did this to the living. As the sinners weighed on me since I was a kid. But this fake testament as if we need to be deserving of life, well, I can tell they're the ones who fell. People who did wrong, often feel like they need to suffer to repay or feel worthy of life. But there are people who were brainwashed to take the fall for the sinners' sins, as they forced the guilt in them to carry. Because I was one of those victims... from the time I was a child... so, the mother of all prostitutes, will learn a very heavy lesson of what happens when you try to enslave children in time and space. I remind them, you were NEVER FORGIVEN. REMEMBER, THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR SINS. NOT EVEN THE ONES YOU SINNED AGAINST, CAN FORGIVE YOU. NO, THIS AUTHORITY BELONGS TO THE UNANIMOUS ABOVE. IT DOESN'T BELONG TO JUST ONE ION. THAT'S WHY WE MAY SAY OR BELIEVE MANY THINGS... WHO KNOWS WHO GUIDES US TO THESE FALSE BELIEFS ON EARTH? BUT ONCE WE LEAVE THIS WORLD, SOME OF US WILL AWAKEN ON THE BLUE PLANET, WHILE OTHERS ARE MADE TO GO THE LONG WAY. BUT EITHER WAY, SINNERS WILL BE FORCED TO REPAY THE BALANCE THEY TIPPED ON EARTH, WHEN THEY PASS AWAY AND GET REASSIGNED ON THE MOON. I TESTIFIED, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO GET THERE. YOU CANNOT GET THERE BY PLANE. IT'S JUST A DIMENSION - A SIGN. YOU WAKE UP THERE AFTER YOU DIE HERE. I WILL BE WAKING UP ON THE BLUE PLANET, ALONG WITH THE WORLD WHO NEVER SINNED.
Sean's Watch looks Like H Moser Pioneer?
@BPPA-poolI appreciate that nothing feels rushed or unfinished.
@MurphyBailey-b7kHas anyone ever considered that the Different Dimension that are theorized could they be defined by the Different Fields that we observe?
@BobLSagetThe fact that this video has had 2.4m views gives me optimism for the future. I thought everyone was on tiktok or other 2 minute sound bytes stuff. Fantastic. You guys are pure gold. Love from New Zealand
@paulmolloy3661Wave functions are a mathematical construct, they aren't reality.
@sethreardon8805But the Neil deGrasse Tyson Principle says that life can only evolve is x,y,z and t. No sentient being can exist elsewhere in any other dimension.
@Aimsport-videoThis episode I can tell it is gonna be a doozy and I’m here for it
@melowaves233537:08 Your Universe is merely an Incubator. You are being watched!
@ZeroWoWsOK“WHAT’S IN THE BOX?!”
@Patrick-ud3vuIf two versions of “quantum foundations” explain the same experimental outcomes and make the same predictions, how can we claim that one is more scientific?
@KittysCat-j7xA fraculty. Lol
@MarkBrosius-p2g1rI am always a little uncomfortable with the descriptions of the 'wave aspects' of wave-particle duality as 'the particle spreading all over the space." I do, however, like the concept of a particle being the 'manifestation,' if you like, of a wave when that wave vibrates in a certain specific way. What we 'measure' when we detect a particle is the presentation of certain values related to that wave, connected to frequencies and amplitudes of specific aspects of the wave that, to us, presents as a particle.
My discomfort with the description of particles as 'spreading over a space' to then 'appear as a wave' is my suspecion that every particle actually does have a spefic position and vector in time and space. This, I think, is because at any one time, the properties of the wave that describe a particle have particular, specific vales. However, we have NOT yet developed the mathematics that allows us to predict those precise values. BUT we have successfully developed other maths, and that other maths allows us to describe and assign values to the probability of the particle being found at given locations in time and space.
This is equivalent to an ability to calculate the probability of the properties and values related to the wave function of that particle assuming certain specific values. It just so happens that, when you 'visualise' the possible ranges of those values, what you get is a geometric picture that assigns those probabilities to specific positions. SO, because it is a probability map, it MUST assign probabilties to regions of space. That does NOT mean the particle is in ALL those spaces (spead all over) but that each point of those spaces has a probabilty the the particle could be there.
The map is not the location, but we explain it as though it were.
Unfortunately, the best, current maths gives us Quantum Physics--an analytical model based on probabilities. But, as we know, the probability of a value does NOT present a precise prediction of that value, only a likehood of the value occurring. In respect of particles, a value does exist, at all times, but we do not have ANY means of deducing it precisely, and the best we can do is clever, informed guesswork. If we had better maths and the ability for better detection methods (such as by existing in a higher dimension that allows us to see the quantum world as a dimesion or more beneath us), we would be able to "see" precise values of the wave function at any time.
Nothing makes sense anymore since the heart intelligence is the only way to understand what the universe really is.Ain’t nothing about particles or equations.
@flysky6248The instability is the universe’s creativity without it there’s no existence of matter ✌️❤️🇬🇧
@maxplanck9055What a great conversation.
@ThomasColladoChuck is soooooo refreshing!
