Down The Rabbit Hole Of The Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser | Answers With Joe

Quantum physics has a way of melting your brain if you think about it too hard. Perhaps the biggest brain twister is the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment, the results of which seem to break all the rules of time and space.

7:17 Gotta say, the dogs lack of reaction would suggest that this is indeed Joe's natural state.

[SouDeePop]

Tfw your hand is both in and out of your pants at the same time until Joe looks

[Thumbsupurbum]

Ha, joke's on you Joe. I'm not wearing any pants.

I'm a filmmaker and a few years ago while shooting a documentary I used the analogy of the uncertainty principle to describe how you can't film someone without affecting their behavior. I feel even better about it knowing that you use it too!

Quantum physics - that nervous feeling that you’re just ‘missing something’ super obvious

[del]

Ooooh, I get it.

Particle conspiracy theorist: "They're watching us. Quick! Don't interfere! " LOL

[MrCommanderPaul]

"So do I!" That's it, Joe. You are now officially one of my favorite people to watch on YouTube! You're smart, concise and easy to listen to all at once. It's a rare combination.

I love the way your dog was looking at you in "your normal state" like 'yup that's my Joe'.

It's been a century and they haven't fixed this glitch in the simulation yet? Smh

[truerthanyouknow]

Thank you, Joe, for demonstrating how DMX is intrinsically linked to understanding quantum physics.

7:17 I love how the dog is just casually watching its human, like he does this all the time

[Monkey-fvkm]

I'm sort of comfortable these days with quantum physics not making sense, I just recognise that the human brain only understands linear time and three dimensional reality, which is likely not the whole picture, so we need mathematical hacks to translate actual reality.
Also if I understand correctly, photons don't even experience time, they subjectively experience all of their existence at once, so time travel and cause/effect are irrelevant for them. Not that they think a great deal about time travel.

[okboomer]

"They" be like: *Lol look at these humans, trying to understand the glitch.*

[DerTaran]

Sabine Hossenfelder just mentioned you in her last episode: The always amazing Joe Scott.

[JeremyKolassa]

Delayed release of the episode on Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser? I see you, Joe. I see you.

[bagelmaster]

I'm ashamed to say you were right about the hand in pants thing. It's cold in my room!

[pamcake]

I didn’t understand one thing I just heard, and yet, I was thoroughly entertained 🍻.

[steventurner]

Hey Joe... somewhere in the past couple of years I heard a story of photons from distant stars being incorporated into the double slit or quantum eraser experiment. That light traveled light years to get to earth and still changed due to observation. Could you research that and maybe do a video on that? This is fascinating stuff! Thank you for hard work!
