if this is for dummies I'd hate to see the one for smart people!

19th century scientists: "we got it finally all figured out!"
Quantum Mechanics: "Evening gentlemen"

Lockdown has made me so crazy that I'm learning Quantum mechanics

[maanviss]

Finaly I understand that I don't understand quantum mechanics ...

[AK-jebm]

10 minutes into the video and my mind is in superposition - all places at once

[davidh]

I almost understood this, then my liver started bleeding.

I paused the video when it started to get confusing, and then I realized I was only 3 minutes into the video...

It is impressive that almost 6 years ago some one created an animated video of this caliber all by her/himself

Particles: teenagers who just want to do whatever they want but when the adults come in, they do their homework.

Honestly quantum mechanics sounds so fictional. I love it.

Mrs. Schrodinger asked her husband: where’s the cat? Erwin answered: well, there are both, good and bad news!

[Roedygr]

What puzzles me is "observation". What is different about an-observing and non-observing piece of equipment. What is the essence of being an observer? How does a wave function know it is being observed?

Electrons really do be taking being camera shy to the next level

I'm shocked this video doesn't have significantly more views. This is one of the clearest explanations I've heard.

[Stoney-Jacksman]

Somewhere we are laughing about us, trying to grasp this shit.

[emilianomorales]

Two years into chemical engineering and this whole quantum mechanics is starting to make sense, so don't give up if you are not understanding, you just need to study all this concepts over and over again!

[ashleymackenzie]

Beyond brilliant for me . I can see I’m gonna get hooked on this channel, many teachers don’t have this amazing ability to explain things with such simplicity and clarity.

This is my first comment on YouTube. I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful video. Even though I cannot understand physics. This video made it possible... Thank you...Keep moving :)

What a brilliant simplified overview of what Quantum mechanics is about!! Well done girl!!!

[itsnighthawk]

those electrons are shy when you look at them
