Secrets of Quantum Physics, 'Let There Be Life' 4k

Can quantum mechanics explain the greatest mysteries in biology? Physicist Jim Al-Khalili turns his attention to the world of nature for answers.

Professor Jim Al-Khalili reveals how Einstein thought he'd found a fatal flaw in quantum physics that implies that subatomic particles can communicate faster than light. The host of "The Amazing World of Gravity" and "Everything and Nothing" shows how robins navigate using quantum entanglement, how our sense of smell is touched by quantum vibrations, and how physics might play a role in evolution.

Dr. Jim Al-Khalili is a gift to mankind! His intelligence and his ability to communicate outshines, anyone else in his field! 🙏 I am so thankful and feel so lucky to be able to access his knowledge and learn from him, through his videos online!

I am happy, lucky and privileged to be able to see, watch and hear and listen to this wonderful documentary. Dankeschön Herr Al Khallili

Jim Al-Khalili videos are great food for thought!

I love Physicist Jim Al-Khalili, I wish he'd been my teacher at college!!!

Good documentaries are like old songs. They are precious and timeless. Thanks for sharing ❤

It's so cute that he describes vanilla as "baking with my daughter"

Quantum physics unravels the mysterious and counterintuitive aspects of our universe, from particles existing in multiple states simultaneously to the enigmatic phenomenon of entanglement. These principles challenge our classical understanding of reality and open up new realms of scientific inquiry. One of the most intriguing aspects of quantum physics is how it fundamentally alters our perception of space and time, suggesting that at a quantum level, these dimensions might be far more flexible and interconnected than previously thought. This has profound implications for our understanding of everything from the nature of consciousness to the fabric of the cosmos itself. How do the secrets of quantum physics, such as superposition and entanglement, influence our understanding of reality and the fundamental laws that govern the universe? Could these quantum phenomena hold the key to unlocking new technologies or even answering some of the most profound questions about the nature of existence?

in the decade since this was made there have been further steps taken
in relating the quantum to our daily lives.
in particular the proposition that ideas, inspiration may be the result of our perceiving
ripples in the quantum fields we are constantly awash in.

I really enjoyed the music, but all the talking is really distracting….

[webbugt]

I love these documentaries. Extremely well produced, on par with some TV productions with (I can imagine) 10x the budget

Edit: thanks for informing me this wqs a tv production xP

[Vitiuxa]

Very interesting and well-made documentary.

[Alberto-bynq]

The final scene, the prof trying to get the ball through the door, is epic. :D

[lisa-bftw]

I wonder why there are so small amounts of likes. Amazing well-rounded content, thank you so much👏

[samklelolatakisa]

Quantum biology is a very refreshing discipline.

[lebalsie]

The first time I’ve understood really understood. Thank you.

That bloody music? Why? It blots out what could potentially have been an interesting talk. Why always music? Aaaagggghhh!!!!

I wonder if quantum mechanics could allow for the seemingly deliberate process of the origin of life - abiogenesis. The way the "exiton" finds most efficient path to the target, by trying all paths simultaneously, but then collapsing the wave function in the exact location which is desired by the exiton, suggests that this quantum event is a "deterministic" process after all, and implies purposeful intention on the part of the exiton! For there should be no determining factors according to current models of quantum mechanics, that can dictate where or when a particle's wave function might collapse. The exiton wave function however, collapses in the desired location, keeping a real goal in mind of not wasting precious energy. It is a deliberate path taken which represents a true conservation of probability and entropy, seemingly requiring free will, and is reminiscent of a thinking, conscious, goal-oriented being or awareness of some kind, if I may.. How does an exiton wave function keep in mind a target destination, a goal? That seems quite intentional for a quantum wave collapse which is supposed to be modeled as a completely random process having no intentional outcomes. If an exiton takes all possible paths and then "chooses" the most energetically effective path, while reliably and consistently denying any collapse of the wave function over any of the other paths taken, then we must consider the possibility that this exiton has some primitive awareness about itself and its purpose. It must be considered that even all quantum wave phenomena would have some primitive awareness and does so "choose" when and where to interact with any classical object, thus collapsing onto their desired destinations in every scenario, that location being purposefully "chosen" by the wave function itself, in order to reach some goal for some purpose that serves some primitive awareness of the wave function. This idea of quantum primitive awareness and intention can more easily explain how life started on Earth and the almost-impossible temporary reversal of entropy that would have been required for abiogenesis of life on Earth. If there really is some mechanically guided, and controllable process that is guaranteeing the desired destination of an exiton's wave function collapse, then this is probably the most profoundly overlooked realization in the history of quantum mechanics, for it suggests there is indeed a deterministic, hidden-variables type mechanism which can allow for goal-oriented wave function collapse over a specific destination, rather than always a randomized probabilistic destination.

This documentary is truly metamorphosis.
((The Disneyland of spirituality)). Thank you all 🌹🌹🌹

Such a great documentary! Such a huge professor! Because of the music I understood just 70% and was forced to rewind many times. Please lower the music!! Thank you.

Such whole complex mechanism of everything in the universe is a testament to the role of a supreme programmer/ designer Who has fine tuned everything for humans to be studied by the latter while their stay on earth for a grand test for paradise.
