  1. This Schrödinger's cat thought experiment seems like nonsense to me. The cat is either dead or alive, there isn't any "superposition" in his stupid box.
    Also, why cat? I'd use a rat.

  2. What kind of detetor? I don't understand, the test that was made the one shooting electrons. When we watch, it put's i'm self in one place with superposition?

  3. In the final example of teleportation, did the original particle B have it's own set of information that had to be deleted before it was in injected with the copied information from the other particle? And considering the cross-over from wave-like behavior to material-like behavior, Would you need blank substitute matter to inject the information into, or do you only require electrical functions…???

  4. what was the excact expirementt for entaglement …how there was able to make measures across universe ..overcaming light speed barrier wouldnt be neccesary ? in order to say the entaglement overcome speed light limit..i quess they have entaglement tecnology!?!?!?!!!!!

  5. i don't agree with the double slit experiment surmation……… something about the means of measuring is collapsing the wave function….. an electrical field maybe? to suggest otherwise is to suggest that atoms can tell when they are being observed or not….. which is fucking nonsense.

  6. A doubt….
    If they exhibit wave behavior and are in superposition ( i.e may or may not be present at particular point ) then why are the leaving marks where they're there and at the places where they are not there ?😱😵😵😵🤔🤔😨

  7. How old would you have to be to reach the age of immortality? If you were born with immortality, then you wouldn't age after you were born or would you continue age forever?

  8. All good up until the last bit about particle teleportation, this has not happened, as Einsteins theory was not proven wrong, it was only his explanation that was proven wrong. Proving an explanation to be wrong does not prove a different explanation to be right. Teleportation has not been proved.

  9. I'm a 14 year old beginning to understand quantum mechanics… Lol this video is great, but takes big brain to understand and I have just that…. Big Bwain

  10. How can a particle behave like it's conscious. How the hell is it possible to behave differently when observed or not!
    It's giving me existential crisis!

    Also, what is used for observation?

  11. does anyone know what kind of detector was used? what if we replaced these detectors with vacuum cleaners? or cowboy hats? or pineapples? or a detective? or a different model of the detectors which uses a different method of detecting? how exactly do these detectors work? what mechanism of observation do they use such that it affects the electrons?

  12. lol i'm actually laughing out loud at how naughty the electrons are when knowing they're being observed by the detectors. maybe they are very intelligent robots who have a sense of humor but since they are so small we can't see their robotic mechanism

  13. What if you only took a look through one slit? Would the other slit leave a wave pattern? Why did the testing discontinue without further brainstorming? I could probably think of 500 ideas in the next hour I could throw at this thing. Someone get me in front of something like this.
