The rules of Quantum Mechanics with Brian Cox

The rules of quantum mechanics explains with Brian Cox #quantumphysics #quantum #quantummechanics quantum mechanics lecture

The basic understanding of Quantum Mechanics is, the universe will do what ever the f*ck it wants to do and if you don't agree with it, it does it anyway.

[oneminutefixed]

One of the major obstacles is the language spoken to describe these events. Most of quantum mechanics is mathematics, that is why when describes to real world cases it sounds so wierd, ie particle being at two places at the same time

[pspicer]

Best most succinct explanation I have heard w.r.t. this formulation of QM.

[DollfaceKim]

I just want to hang out with this dude and get my mind blown 24/7

[optionmaster]

Compared to British Physicists, American Physicist sound like used car salesmen. Even when the Brits say "we don't know it, yet" they sound somehow more distinguishly persuasive than the Yankees.

[mistie]

I wonder where the particle is during the hop, or it simultaneously appears and disappears from one place to another. Is it riding the quantum wave function?

[fionnanhappy]

Is this similar to schrodingers cat??? I'm just a plumber so no hate please

[whitemagic]

Beautifully and concisely said. Enough information is given to go deeper, if you want, by looking up Wikipedia articles

I popped over to my buddies place yesterday. Quantum

[pkelly]

Probability is a human concept for saying we don’t understand the system well enough to know what is going to happen because there are many variables and we don’t understand them all

[vannersp]

That's quite elegant, and most importantly, doesn't require the particle. There is a probability distribution and it has a centre point, and that will move over time in a probabilistic way such that it's accumulated movement produces a map of probable positions.

All l know this BASICALLY went over my head 😂

[ralphpetrie]

I’m glad he didn’t try to explain one of the more complex rules.

[kingclancy]

The particles in my brain we're entangled elsewhere

[Urbanwitchpodcast]

Everything is both particles and waves all at the same time! So in this sense, particles act more like events than things.

[bobbucks]

Thats explanation 300 I've listened to on quantum mechanics, still have no idea.

[birdman]

Probability wave function. Integrate square of amplitude over dx. Observation leads to superposition collapse (Copenhagen/Schrödinger)

[tinaing]

The most valuable of Quantum Mechanics is what comes around goes around.

[splotbang]

My mobile phone moves around the house like that. I set it down somewhere and 30 minutes later, it's not there any more so I get the wife to ring it and bingo, it's moved to another location in the house or even in my pocket.

[jayrio]

Things can move about, we can't predict where they will hop to, and where they are is just a probability. Got it. 👍
