Physicist Answers Physics Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

Physicist Jeffrey Hazboun visits WIRED to answer the internet's swirling questions about physics. How does one split an atom? Is light a wave or a particle...or both? How soon will the universe end? Is time travel is possible given physicists' current understanding? What's the deal with string theory?

This guy explains physics so clearly, that this is the closest I've ever come to still not quite understanding it.

I built a time machine when I was a kid. I flipped over a really large cardboard box, climbed inside, and waited ten minutes. When I climbed out, I had traveled ten minutes into the future. It was really exciting. My mother didn't understand the genius of my invention, though, and threw it away not long after I had made it.

The hallmark of a great educator is one that can break down an idea into its purest form. This guy is it.

The opening question helped me tremendously. I've been trying to get my mother-in-law to stop orbiting me, and it turns out it's because she's both massive AND dense. Thanks, physics!

[stoneisland]

I've watched numerous physics related videos in the past, but this physicist's explanations have been by far the most straightforward and easy to grasp compared to anyone I've encountered before.

[TheGreatCalsby]

Quantum entanglement is so crazy that it can only be described to the layman as "it is what it is"

[gonzalot.]

I love the fact that he's explaining things while using regular objects. As if he was an elementary teacher talking to his class.

[katelynb]

Fun fact, the light physics that he talks about(LIGO, Young's double slit, etc) is known as optics, and if you don't know optics, you should check it out! Love to see my fellow optics people represented

[kitkitos]

I like the fact that everyone still calls it "Twitter", feels like a mіddlе fingеr to Musk 🤗❤

[kidmohair]

the balloon analogy for fission is the best one I have seen

[abpob]

Was in Geneva in May and visited Cern. Felt amazing just being near the eye into the tiny-verse

[prapanthebachelorette]

Oh gosh. Usually math and physics was my ptsd material but he explained it all very well. Thanks 😊

[tarekkhatib]

I'm the guy on the thumbnail! Haha


Your answer is on point!
My goal of this tweet was getting people to answer either this or that, without admitting it can be both

Nice video

[Beastintheomlet]

I appreciate Wired still calling it Twitter, that is all.

A better way of explaining Quantum Entanglement with Dice is that whenever one dice is rolled the other die has the opposite value where if you add them up the total value is 7. So if I roll my die and get a "1" then the other die will have the value of "6" thus always adding up to "7".

This was awesome. I love physics, but I could never grasp the math. Like, I understand the theories and concepts, and I love learning about it, but the actual math is beyond me. I've tried!

[erebuxy]

The observable universe is finite. What is beyond the observable universe, as the name suggested, is not observable. We really know whether the universe is infinite or not.

[friendlybello]

Whoa this guy has some intensity, I love it

[alanarias]

Dr. Hazboun is the definition of an educator. So passionate to explain concepts that are beyond complex.

[evanmartinez]

50 billion years for the heat death of the universe? That doesn't sound right. It has to be longer than that.
