i will never get tired of this particular subject

[Roberto-REME]

Outstanding and superb production. The narration was easy to follow, well enunciated and engaging. Plus the topics presented were well organized, sequential and smartly presented. This is the most effective new way of teaching others the marvels of the universe. Well done!

[mutualink]

Very clear explanation for a lay man like me, thank you very much!😀

[rebeltz]

Wow, you guys knock it out the park, me? its incomprehensible to me to fully get a basic handle on this subject, but you and all, well can I so much, truly factual mind-boggling, thinking, cheers. Rien

[donstor]

I wish Feynman were alive today to make videos for us to watch. I would love to see him do his thing for us non physicists.

[robertzali]

It had to be interpreted from the discoveries of Heinrich Hertz and Maxwell, not from what Max Plank suggested to the philosopher Einstein.

[Degenhardt]

Thank you for this video, I’m a little closer to get my head around the subject in a way that isn’t going to make my head explode.😂

The debate between light wave and its' actual formation was interesting. After incubating my thoughts on this matter, I have to interject a questionable principle. Could it be possible that because space ( or dark matter ) has no atmosphere, is it possible that light travels in a straight line trajectory because there is nothing to interfere with the directional flow of light and its' energy? Hence, once light has entered into the Earth's orbit and travels toward Earth's surface, it could be possible that the Earth's many layers of atmospheres have interfered with the straight-line trajectory of the incoming light. Therefore, creating a wave-like pattern. Therefore, it seems perfectly logical to me that light can travel in both a straight-line and a wave pattern. Again, it seems perfectly logical to me.

[davidadamson]

well done, explained the impossibility of quantum mechanics

[pvcmoviestudio]

astonishing explanation.
Even a tiny thing your explain with spotless way.

[venkybabu]

Circle is an inversion point from random to coherent. Essentially magnetic field can be created only by that from hyperbolic to parabolic. When you say delta E equals delta B plus delta I. That's why you see fan coil winding so complex.

[tiemiahu]

Wow!! Awesome videos Wondrium, good information, good diagrams well explained and I like the use of the collaboration of scientists, well done. So the question is; 'What is light'? A wave or a particle? Acting on a field or moving through space? Or could it be all of the above? Einstein's theory of relativity, as I understand it, presents space as a field that matter, energy, substance and force relate to, act on and function within, (please correct me if I'm wrong)....

What if that space field was made up of particles, such as neutrinos, that reacted in a wave like function to any force, matter, substance or energy that was applied to it or relative to its influence? Such as gravity, pressure, motion, heat, light, gaseous substances, material mass, and maybe even time, as such space particles could probably relate independently and collectively, internally and therefore externally with each other, and probably by which maybe even act with distant particles, possibly even


Or am I missing something??...

Einstein, the one who conquered the Universe and even has made huge contributions in quantum mechanics, he does have every right to question "God! " Btw Great content selections though!

8:31 - I've heard of the slit experiment many times over but this is the first time that I heard that they used light to measure it. Like she said, my initial thought was that the light they were using to measure was interfering in some way. Clearly it was if there was a flash. Then you turn the light down and you get your interference pattern back. Which seems to me like it should be more evidence that it's the measurement light causing the problem. I just don't get how you can be confident in anything if your method of measuring requires interfering with it in anyway at all before it hits the wall. It's always been presented to me as if just by looking at it we change it, but this sounds a lot more like massively interfering with it.

Gravitational fields of force holding mass together have different frequencies. Shorter waves have stronger force. Gravitational fields of force are measured in weight. Shorter waves are rebounding faster. Gravitational fields of force produce more weight on photons. Heat is added to the waves of heat, creating stronger Gravitational fields of force holding the pattern together as a particle wave. A photon is heat in resistance. The heat from a lightning strike burns the Atmospheres in resistance creating light instantly giving a thunderous wave of sound dissolving the atmosphere into sound. Released frequencies in resistance to atmosphere. Heavy elements have more force than lighter elements, because of Shorter wave lengths. The outward pressure is weight, held in by gravitational fields of forced motion in resistance. When you lift a bar of lead, you are lifting pressure held within. The leads energy. When external frequencies bounce off mass they rebound outward. Heat gets absorbed in mass. With enough heat the gravitational field of force holding mass together becomes weakened and slumps into fluidity of motion spreading outward pressure into equalization. Motion retains its value in and out of entanglement. In space the lead bar would weaken, but hold its shape, because the outer pressure remains constant in every direction. There is no Atmospheric pressure pushing down on it. Magnetic fields of force are weaker Gravitational fields of force. The Magnetic fields of force hold in earths Atmospheres. If our Magnetic field of force was stronger it would produce more pressure pushing and crushing our atmospherein on us. We are the gravitational field of force that keeps us grounded, our wave lengths vibrate with more force the atmosphere pushing in on us. The atmosphere needs more force to overcome our vibrations. The force around us is greater than the force under us. The force of massive mass has greater force than the atmosphere. We are held together by gravitational fields of forced motion. The vibrating atoms inside our bodies keep us grounded. The outward pressure held in a hot air balloon has more force in it than the atmosphere. So as it vibrates through the atmosphere it pushes through and the Atmospheric pressure under lifts it up. Gravitational fields inside mass are positive, outside negative. Equalization of frequencies interlocking creating Gravitational fields of forced motion. The negative pushing negative away, hence lift. Gravity is the second strongest force. Motion is the strongest. Gravitational fields of force hold fluidity into illusionary solidity. Gravity is your vibrating force of mass repelling outward pressure of mass. Magnetic fields of force are easier to push through. Earths gravitational fields of force, repel outward pressure and hold inward pressure. Negative is the outside of gravitational fields of force, positive the inside. We are being repelled by the earth. The force of energy of gravitational fields of force are barriers on the outside. Weight is frequencies. Hydrogen has less frequencies entangled than helium. Heat is the catalyst that holds mass together. Too much heat creates motion fluidity. Heat creates mass and separates it, depending quantities. Light is heat in resistance. Sparks from passing. When heat is absorbed in mass, ight is the byproduct of resistance flashing as a spark.light isn't absorbed, heat is. All mass absorbs heat. Hydrogen absorbs heat and becomes helium. Heat dissolves or welds mass together. Hydrogen welds to helium, and so forth. This is my theory. Hurricanes in space, is heat swirling in a forced monstrous heat waves from a star collapsing its weak Gravitational fields of force known as a magnetic field and the heat released is overwhelming and heat attracts. When you see light dispersing from the middle of these space hurricanes it is heat escaping the swirling vortex. Crazy right. Heat is the motion transference. Heat is the current frequencies transference of motion. Overwhelming heat powers everything. It has to overcome the negative cold stationary exterior of atoms. Solar winds, warm breezes. The nucleus of atoms surrounded by cold space. A bubble of cold space. The bubble thickens as the atom absorbs heat. What temperature is coldest? There isn't absolute zero. Motion has a constant value of the positive speed of heat. The question is, are we passing through a field of negative space. Heat is motion so we are traveling through space at the speed of heat. Heat forcing galaxies to move through space towards less pressure on the outside of the universe? Just thinking out loud. Trying to use common physics to explain gravitational fields of forced motion flow. I thought space might be in motion. But, now I believe it is stationary. And heat is the force of transference of matter. That would make heat the one and only force of energy. Heat versus space. Two sides of the same coin. That would mean space has more area of containment because mass not only passes through it, it is a point in time where space is constantly moving through all mass as we transfer from one point to the next. Heat passes through space while space in mass is renewable because we move through exchanging points of space in us. Space doesn't bend. Heat does. Cold is immobile space? I hope that my ranting hasn't offended anybody. My intelligence is limited to my experiences. Life is shirt. If we are points in space, and we're moving through it, and it doesn't move. That would explain our deterioration. Space transference by forced motion of heat. Heat, your hand in motion. Space, stationary sandpaper. Your hand rubbing across sand paper. Just to much fun trying to figure out basic laws of physics. I would have liked to have been in physics classes. It is a wonderfully challenging field. Gravitational fields of forced motion in a stationary space. We are being forced to the outer limits. We can't go faster than the speed of heat. We are lightning through the resistance of space. Leaving light in our passing. Space vibrates from resistance in waves short and long frequencies.

Best sequential understanding of lights wave particle duality

As a person who believes that Jesus is who the Bible says He is, and therefore of course, believes in God, I can appreciate this no nonsense, honest approach to this subject. I often hear things explained in a way that seems bias. This acknowledged Einstein’s real perspective which we don’t always see. This to me also indicates that believing in God can actually make you do better science, because I think I have to agree with Einstein, God doesn’t play dice. Much respect to the physicists and whoever else works on this stuff. I believe they are always unlocking more incredible things, including the pursuit of quantum computing right now. I think the more important question is, what will we do with it which becomes a moral question. The implications of such powerful computers is scary. Countries having nuclear bomb power is scary enough and now add this to the mix. “ Fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom.” If people who want to play God control this stuff, we are doomed. There is only one true God. The one who sent Jesus. Sorry to get preachy, again love the video. Easy to understand.

10:41 if you look at them carefully, you will notice if you turned one of "all them dots" so its upside down compared to what it was and turn it also arround it self a half turn, you end up with a pattern which is the same on both sides...it took me under 5 seconds to see that it was the same pattern just turned arround in certain ways.

Moving object creates waves in fabric of space like gravitational waves. This wave travels at light speed. Uncertainty in locating particle during its motion is due to wave associated with the particle since it affects its path & location. Particle is always at one location at one time & never at 2 locations or all over the place. Space wave associated with the particle is of temporary nature which dissipates back into space as soon as particle stops its motion. Electron never passes through both slits, interferes with itself or is present at two paths at the same time. It is the space wave which passes through both slits, divides & interferes & guides electron into making interference pattern. The wave associated with electron must be allowed to pass through both slits to produce interference pattern. Detector either stops the electron in which case wave associated with electron dissipates & if electron is detected during its motion the wave associated with photon scaters the wave associated with electron. This is what is called wavefunction collapse.
