Blow your friggin MIND!


My original major in college was physics, and I got REALLY into quantum mechanics... I remember this experiment, but this is the best interpretation of it ever.

This is all 100% true, all the top scientists are baffled by it. Makes you think, and creeps you out at the same time.

 

=O baffled

 

I R confused.

good stuff!

 

saw that long time ago... still very cool!

 

Some funny stuff in the comments after it, my favorite;

"wow if i ever want to find smart people on spikedhumor ill just post a video about quantum mechanics."

 

It's a very interesting phenomena. But Heisenberg uncertainty principle states the reason for this.

 

We need to find a way to trick those pesky electrons.

Another really cool video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkxieS-6WuA Talks about imagining the tenth dimension.

 

i hate that but love you bruCeeee

haha!

 

String theory...hurt...brain...

 

I love this comment..

 

Over the past 15 years I've really fallen in love with quantum physics, astrophysics and cosmology; I find light fascinating, am enthralled by relativity, and I get a chubby when I think about the new Star Trek movie coming out.

In the pantheon of unusual quantum theories, entanglement is probably my favorite (in short: electrons created together are forever linked--literally, a change in one is instantaneously mirrored in the other). One could argue that if the big bang theory is correct and all particles were created within close proximity to each other, then entanglement applies to everything in the universe -- meaning that every particle is connected, and that there is in fact no "empty" space at all, and that what we see as reality is nothing more than our brains compensating for that mind-blowing fact.

Ha, you and I are on the same page... I really got into physics in 7th grade... Nothing else mattered (no pun intended) to me... I never got my degree in QM, but one day I plan to finalize that and finish... The math... Thats what kills me... At a point when you start using imaginary numbers, my brain shuts down.

 

lol yea i saw this vid a long time ago.

 

My teacher showed us this video during one of our classes. It's pretty interesting stuff but quantum mechanics/physics is pretty hard to get a grasp of....well, for me at least.

 

wait, so the fact that there was something/someone observing breaks the pattern of the wave? wth lol. i didnt know electrons acted like girls.
