Professor Jim Al-Khalili traces the story of arguably the most important, accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever: quantum physics.
The story of quantum physics starts at the beginning of the 20th century with scientists trying to better understand how light bulbs work. This simple question soon led scientists deep into the hidden workings of matter, into the sub-atomic building blocks of the world around us. Here they discovered phenomena unlike any encountered before – a realm where things can be in many places at once, where chance and probability call the shots and where reality appears to only truly exist when we observe it.
Albert Einstein hated the idea that nature, at its most fundamental level, is governed by chance. Jim reveals how in the 1930’s, Einstein thought he’d found a fatal flaw in quantum physics. This was not taken seriously until it was tested in the 1960s. Professor Al-Khalili repeats this critical experiment, posing the question does reality really exist, or do we conjure it into existence by the act of observation?
Elsewhere, we explore how the most famous law of quantum physics – The Uncertainty Principle – is obeyed by plants and trees as they capture sunlight during the vital process of photosynthesis. Could quantum mechanics explain the greatest mystery in biology – evolution?

I don’t think this is true but it makes sense if we were in a simulation what could happen is the Particles don’t render in until we look At them just like in a video game
"a stream of pah-ta-kulls" – get real
Gravity is best explained by saying that all matter is a wave of probability. If you reduce the universe to a model containing only two massive particles, and show that the locations of these two particles are only distributions of probability, gravity can be explained by SUMMING the probabilities of the locations of these two particles. The probability becomes HIGHER in the space between the two particles. Therefore, the two particles will necessarily appear to be attracted to one another as they fluctuate in and out of existence on a quantum level. – Nick Greenway (i dont need any credit for this brilliant explanation because consciousness is non local, meaning no thought you have is YOURS, get over yourself.
I was stuck there when he relates the wave and particle nature of light to real and unreal world

Amazing. We are on a never ending journey of simultaneous discovery and bewilderment.
It’s occidental in nature.

Do you believe in the hereafter? Yes" Good, then you know what I'm hereafter.

Thank you finally I have a lot better idea about quantum mechanics
Too many commercial interruptions. Skip it.
The presentation is so awesome;you begin and you want to know everything
is the photoelectric effect how new phones can charge other phones wireless. ?
at 36:28 what the fuck are these white lines in the sky??

Poor guy missed his greatest opportunity.. John Bell threw him a bone in regards to his question about the helium problem. But he didn't have the humility or the balls to ask him what he meant… could have been magnificent.
Haven't you noticed how we can fight one war and win only to see a new more violent variation rise up, How each time we solve one scientific mystery another even more puzzling one is always looming large in the darkness beyond it, or how we can stamp out or cure one disease only to see two or three more blink into existence.
The answer is simple.
This is a simulation; a video game, and we are characters being played by some other creature that MAY or MY-NOT actually exist… somewhere else.
The answer to the problem is that it always opposes itself.
You are in the dimension of hypocrisy.
There are two consciousness that are opposed. The light and the observer.
I wish to god physicist would stop using that word "observer" ….insinuating a human is necessary
The only thing that I understood here was adverts are so f..kin annoying
interferation is the key
waves: 1,3,9,27,81,…..

wanna build ´n ufo?
Helium, we’re running out!
They can be in any location(likely to strike where the probability of its existence is high) in the screen because they were everywhere before striking into the screen. Why they chose to exist in the location being where makes the wave-like pattern as a whole. In a sense, do electrons already know where they are going to strike given the fact that they can exist in any location? But they are not letting us know why do they do what they do and also where they are doing it . How weird is this ??
First, because since I just now seeing it only just came into existence.
sounds like the slits are too far away like asking a guner to go to the window and see how many ways he fire put it closer and thats when it becomes as a painters spray more accurate
Science is everywhere
Is UV light not a stronger version of regular light? What is UB light?
I still can't wrap my tiny head around the difference between atoms, molecules and elements.
In that evil card dealer who is governing the fact that u lose every time whatever the rules and conditions u applied is that dealer? or is that card pair? Or is that U yourself?
particle-wave duality is very interesting because it shows how many quantum entities can act both like particles and waves depending on the experiment!
Interesting information, Nikola Tesla also held a great deal of knowledge that was connected to Einstein.
