NOVA PBS Official
Dive into the universe at the tiniest – and weirdest – of scales.
Official Website: https://to.pbs.org/3CkDYDR | #novapbs
When we look at the world at the tiniest scales in the subatomic realm, things get weird – very weird. Welcome to the quantum universe, where particles can spin in two directions at once, observing something changes it, and something on one side of the galaxy can instantly affect something on the other, as if the space between them didn’t exist. Buckle up for a wild ride through the discoveries that proved all of this to be true and paved the way for the digital technologies we enjoy today – and the powerful quantum sensors and computers of tomorrow.
Correction: The original version of this film had misplaced punctuation, which falsely implied that in 1974, Stephen Hawking was the first to predict black holes. The film, captions, and transcript have been amended to clarify that in 1974, Stephen Hawking first predicted the phenomenon now known as Hawking radiation, referred to in the film as the “Achilles’ heel” of black holes.

This was exactly what I needed, thanks!
As great and factually accurate the material is, the presuppositional worldview behind it will NEVER be able to tell what caused time space matter and energy to come into existence ex nihilo with extreme fine precision. Materialism is self limiting
Great job, this video was very useful!
They are lying to you because they know themselves that the study of quantum physics and mechanics is the study of sequence it is not about random chance at all it's not that the cat and Schrodinger's box is either alive or dead it's the fact that you know there's a cat in there to begin with
You don't let science define what this is because they are always going to obscure it
Fantastic explanation, thank you!
This was super helpful, thanks!
Amazing content as always!
I just watched this video and I honestly don’t know how I feel anymore. For the past few months I’ve been quite passionate about science, but after watching this I know that I must find it all out
Fantastic explanation, thank you!
This was super helpful, thanks!
How could you do this to me😢
Great job, this video was very useful!
Very well done, appreciate this video!
Background music is so annoying
Great job, this video was very useful!
It really helps me sleep
Fantastic video, really appreciate your effort!
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
You explained this so well, thank you!
I like how they made concepts that look hard to understand so easy. and yes they put a lot of effort in making long Documentaries that many like me enjoy to watch.
Loved this video, keep up the great work!
Great job, this video was very useful!
Loved the content, keep it coming!
Awesome video, looking forward to the next one!
Loved the content, keep it coming!
❤man Just loved seeing all these Afro scientists❤
Excellent and informative – refreshing to hear some physicists say that they don’t really understand some of the basics of quantum physics but that all the data reinforces the theories – so I am not alone. Refreshing to hear calm, reassuring commentary from a human not an AI creation sounding like a trailer for a for a Transformer movie. Thank you for improving my knowledge of the universe.
They stole ET software from the military they brainwash to stalk children. David and Larry Ellison. Elon musk hired a baby doctor to saved infants fears feelings etc. these people think they are winning. #humantrafficing #humanexipements
nice to see black and Indian people on US documentaries finally makes a change from Baywatch type looking people

25:10 makes me wonder if “island time” is literal.
this was actually so well done — still over my head, but in the best way 😭 quantum stuff always makes me feel tiny lol
This is interesting !
Quantum computers should be in space.
Do u know that u jump in time. U can live in2014 and hassle in 1985. Is tru is basically haffe to be born with the gifte and haffe reasons for acshians
If tou want to teach people things. Anything then don't add dramatic moronic music, they don't play music in classrooms or universities
Do you thing when Einstein was explaining general relativity in 1915 they were playing music in the background, NO THEY BLOODY WELL WEREN'T.
Galaxies are weird.
Black holes are weird.
But quantum particles are on an entirely different level. 🌌⚛
The brahmanic religions thought of reality as ripples from an initial event. Parmenides thought of the fundamental nature of reality as sth that is and is not at the same time. Zenon thought that absolute space and time, motion and distances are illusions.
This was very informative, appreciate it.
