Neil deGrasse Tyson Explores Quantum Entanglement with Janna Levin

As the world continues with this weird time, we’re getting even weirder at StarTalk. Neil deGrasse Tyson, comic co-host Chuck Nice, and astrophysicist Janna Levin, PhD, are together to explore the wild, wacky world of quantum entanglement.

To wrap your head around what “happens” during quantum entanglement, Janna gives us an example of splitting a wishbone at the family dinner table. Explore why, even though we can’t communicate faster than the speed of light, knowledge can work faster than the speed of light.

Find out if we can use quantum entanglement to send encrypted messages. Discover more about the development of quantum computing and its delicate use of quantum entanglement. Janna tells us how we “see” quantum entanglement despite the fact that the act of looking changes the behavior. Lastly, investigate the difference between quantum entanglement and quantum tunneling. All that, plus, Chuck wants to know the answer to a simple question – “Is anything f***king real?!”

Shout out to the dude in a million years that just falls through the earth because probability

[prayaggore]

Came to know more about Quantum entanglement, became more confused

[Zuuby]

Socks seem to have an unusually high probability of quantum tunneling...

07:48 -- Chuck nailed it right there!! (It's not "commutation" faster than the speed of light, it's "knowledge" faster than the speed of light.). Bravo, dude.

Chuck always embodies my thoughts in these 😂

[tokersheadshop]

I love watching the progression of Chuck's education through these episodes

[maurycy_gnc]

So Janna you say nothing is real?
Janna: yep
Neil: yep
Chuck: OH MY GAWD

[mikeschmerbeck]

Chuck coming in HOT with some legit, well thought out questions (bangers), no jokes!! my mans! Thank you guys for this show, it gives me back my imagination from childhood being forced to envision these topics! Unreal!

[app]

Dang so what you’re telling me is everything I learned from antman was all bs??

[durianduraman]

13:14 Chuck rethinking his whole life.

[mcrettable]

I love how this can’t be explained in an understandable way haha

[jonathandavid]

Yay, Janna! Love when she is on. Great chemistry with Neil and Chuck. Great explanations of complicated cosmology for everyday folks.

[avien]

I love all of space: Planets, Stars, Black holes, and space itself! and this channel is basically my dream channel!

[simplesolutions]

YouTube came with the “entanglement” recommendations lol)))

[InsaneMetalSoldier]

9:28, this part made me laugh so hard.

[FirstPersonSciencePodcast]

Great stuff! It's super admirable that you're putting out such well thought-out content on science communication especially when you're so busy and famous. We need more great scicomm devoted to the intricacies of the unknown. It affects us all and is fascinating science. Cant wait to see more!

[censusgary]

When Chuck said, “You just told me that nothing is real, ” I so hoped that Janna and Neil would say, “No, that’s not what it means.” But instead, they both said “Yeah.”

[thebustermonkey]

Need more of this!! More Janna :D!! Great work guys!

[stabbawivagun]

Is this why I LOSE MY CAR KEYS, then there they are right INFRONT OF MY FACE!!!😂😂😂
