    If only we had YouTube when I was in school…..

  2. gredangeo says:

    YEAH!!!! GO TELEPORTATION, LET’S GET THAT BITCH UP RUNNIN’ QUICK. Airports suck. :)

  3. catapral says:

    i like the ending with the enclosed string shouting “hey you need a video about string theory as well!”

  4. SilverTissues says:

    If this is the Quantum Physics for dummy’s, then I don’t want to see the hardcore stuff hehe. Real good video. very interresting. To bad I now have to watch Quantum Mechanics, since the end was kinda open

    For fun or for preparation Stanford has a series in modern physics (including quantum) on youtube.

    As for colleges, most Ivey Leages and MIT, CalTech, Oxford, Cambridge and London University have well known physics programs.

    Quantum tends to come late in a bachelor’s program btw. The math required is rather involved. You could study calculus, diff EQ and matrix algebra on your own though.

    Entanglement will allow teleportation if the digital field can harmonize the the moment of disentanglement.

    Great video! Professionally made, and made quantum physics a lot clearer then any other video I have seen.

  8. TorBarstad says:

    @simpledudeable Yes, think about it: It’s really a question of the number of sand grains that have fallen through.

  9. TorBarstad says:

    @UnladeHint I think (but I’m not positive) he is referring to the fact that photons in a lazer beam have the same frequency, phase, and polarization. As far as I understand state means all properties of an object that are scalar, in contrast to vector. Scalar is all the properties that don’t have anything too do with direction (charge, spin, speed, mass, temperature, placement in space-time). A vector is a property that has too do with direction (velocity, displacement, acceleration).

  10. UnladeHint says:

    PLEASE REPLY
    What does it mean by particles in the same state?

  11. simpledudeable says:

    5:26, this is digital
    You sure? O_o

  12. simpledudeable says:

    The first time physics made me feel like a dumbass D’:

    @whatsyofaithbrotha

    Quantum computers have been created. If you search google you will find examples of companies which have been doing demos.

  14. Darkconis says:

    @atroposBE Yes, we’ve already teleported particles from one side of the earth to the other. The hope of this technology is to someday be able to teleport anything, including us.

  15. chekchamon says:

    Bloody brilliant!

  16. atroposBE says:

    quantum teleportation whaat?

  17. BroodjeEend says:

    Mhm, it’s still difficult to understand it all…
    but it’s interesting nonetheless.

  18. whatsyofaithbrotha says:

    @michalchik I stand corrected.

  19. michalchik says:

    @whatsyofaithbrotha Keep up with the literature and you’ll see that basic circuits have been built though no one has yet assembled them into a programmable computer.

  20. whatsyofaithbrotha says:

    Quantum computing is hypothetical. Computer scientists aren’t even sure it is possible.

  21. parthib19 says:

    Thank you for uploading this awesome video.

    @panzarw

    You should major in chemical engineering then, if you want to work in a nuclear power plant. You will, however, need at least a Master’s degree, probably a PhD to even be allowed to work there. Hard work pays off though–chemical engineering is the highest paid field of engineering, with a PhD degree earning you around a base salary of $110,000-$150,000, depending on where you live.

  23. Daruqe says:

    …what?

  24. al01ja15 says:

    magnifique!

  25. kv310 says:

    LOL at the string in the end!!
