The Strange Mystery of Quantum Time

An exploration of various ways of looking at time and how General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics views it differently and the ultimately question, what exactly is time?

quantum time is defined as the amount of time between me seeing and me clicking a new Godier video

[rhouser]

Man, thank you! These videos make my day/night. Usually takes me a few nights to rewatch & get it all but almost every video are things that run through my head in those few peaceful moments when I occasionally get to daydream!

[TWDExplained]

There's a kid somewhere watching this video right a spark is forming in the back of their years from now while giving their Nobel Prize mention inspiration from JMG videos.

What an unexpected treat! So nice to see the JMG gang out in force as well. Amid all life's craziness this habitat we've made for ourselves is the ultimate chillaxment. ❤

All of time led to me clicking this video…

Spooky action at a distance still remains my biggest “um what”

Just in time for bed in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 love you JMG!!

It's scary to think about the "end" of everything. From our current understanding, there will be a point where the entire universe is dark and full of black holes. Even those will eventually die out. I wonder what will happen after all that takes place. A new start? Eternal darkness?

We have barely scratched the surface of our understanding of the universe. I hope I am around for some big breakthroughs.

Quantum Time? Don't know about quantum, but I always got time for your vids

One of these videos, JMG is going to take a breath in the middle of the last word. XP

I bought a happy meal for myself and one for my friend. He ordered a hot dog and I ordered a hamburger. I dropped off his meal to him and went back to my work office to eat mine. When I opened my happy meal it contained a hot dog. I immediately knew his happy meal contained a hamburger, since the receipt showed I bought one of each kind. Yet by then we were nearly 3 miles apart. I suppose all happy meals are quantum entangled.

Just in time for sleep. Thanks for all that you do, massively appreciated ❤

So the big unfolding isn't a question of "how can something come from nothing?", but "how can the dynamic come from the static?"...

Hope you've been well Mr. JMG! Great video as always big thanks!

[mattmiller]

I guess it's a lot to ask from an 11 minute video, but I still haven't the slightest clue how entanglement could cause time to emerge.

Our known universe truly does feel like a giant prison simulation, where everything is coded in a way to prevent the "inmates" from finding an escape route.

This reminds me of something my forecasting professor said to me in college. Now granted, we are basically trying to predict things with mathematical graphs. He said something about the three dimensions, and I piped up, “don’t you mean four, time?” He said he thought time was a fractal at best. So then I got to thinking. A bunch of amoebas in a liquid no taller than them would only perceive two dimensions. Tilt the table, and the liquid starts flowing. The wood grain on the table may look and feel similar to the amoeba, but it would be unique. A person flips the table and these creatures suddenly get a crash course on a new dimension. Are we just on the table when it comes to time? I don’t have an answer, just tried to imagine how I could try to invalidate Joey’s argument.

Thanks, John, for putting a nice end to an otherwise typical Monday. I need a time machine so I can skip Mondays. Thanks for the video.

Oh, JMG. How I've longed for your soothing voice to educate me about this crazy universe in which we ❤
