High quality coupled with a knack for making incredibly complex subjects easy to understand by the laymen. I also think the more we learn about Quantum Mechanics the more bonkers it gets.

@Tim Walsh  we measure galactic scaled distance in light years , which represents the distance light in a vacuum travels in one year , which is roughly 58000000000000 miles . We do this mainly because Einstein wrongly assumed light travels, and it travels at a constant speed, therefore making it , not the aether the constant frame for reference in the universe . As most PHD level theoretical physicists know , Einstein was wrong about light and relativity.

Thank you for being a teacher. I went to a fundamentalist Christian school. I taught myself Calculus, Physics, Anatomy and Physiology. I thought my piers Algebra, Geometry, Old Testament, and World Religion. I’m Jewish, and they never could convert me. Because of the classes I taught my peers, my sister and I went for free. I continued teaching after graduating so my sister’s tuition was covered. I graduated at 16, and received a BS with dual majors in Mathematics and Physics. I wanted to be a professor, but my husband developed MS, my father had NH Lymphoma and I spent a year re-learning how to walk after being hit head on at 60mph. I went to Med School instead. It was the right path for me. Teachers are so important yet often overlooked as the humanitarians they are. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others❤

I've been visualizing photons (light) as having already arrived at their goal and time is just catching up to it. However, an object of mass, could warp it's pathline and stretch it, like stretching an elastic band. Nice to see some small parallels (sympathetic vibrations?)

I'll expand here. If it bores you - please ignore ;) It photons have already reached their destinations, then the ones moving outwards from the big bang may be moving with the edge of the universe and stretching the light frequencies liek a rubber band. Now consider this, time moves 1 second per second but reality is only the crest of the wave. Is it a transverse wave or a longtitudinal wave? Now if the light reaches the end of the universe, does it bounce back, faster than time back to the beginning? Such are the thoughs of scifi that plague me from time to time. Sorry

@antonystringfellow5152

If you think you understand, you haven't understood. Light and all matter is made up of quantum particles. All quantum particles have wave-like properties. All quantum particles have particle-like properties. No quantum particle is either. Clear now? The terms "wave" and "particle" can be used as analogies to describe certain properties of quantum particles but they are just that... analogies. These are not realities. Electrons have spin states too, yet they do not spin. It's called spin because it is angular momentum. Like a spinning ball, they have angular momentum yet they do not spin. Unlike a spinning ball, this angular momentum is both up or down and left or right. So, here we have yet another anology which is not reality. Nobody understands quantum particles nor what a quantum particle is. Most likely, none of us have that ability. It is unlike anything we can directly observe in just about every way it could be. Not a single anology actually fits any properties of a quantum particle. And the "fields" that these "waves" and "particles" exist in.... most particle physicists don't believe they actually exist. These are just another analogy, a useful construct that enables them to do calculations that make predictions. So, the next time you think you understand, think again.

"in education, we learn all of these formulas and briefly cover the idea where they come from, but you covering the history, the historical figures, and the slow accumulation of collective knowledge taught me so much." This is a prime example showing that schooling and education are two completely different things. Education is the process of seeking knowledge, whereas schooling is the process of memorizing what is dictated to you. The only person that can educate you is yourself. You gained more knowledge on your own in less than an hour FOR FREE than in 4 years at a school costing tens of thousands of dollars. Our "education" system is the biggest scam in the history of the universe.

@@bostonteapartycrasher Underrated comment. Yes you can remember all these things about physics, but to actually understand them and apply them is a total different thing. But I'm a dumdum, I don't believe in the big bang theory, neither do I believe in god. Only thing I believe in, is that we are never going to find the truth. It's designed that way. Science changes all the time. I've paid attention enough to know this. And there are genius people out there who created the world we live in today, many of them are gone. But when it comes down to the big question, how the world started and what we live in, personally I always had the belief it's designed for us to never truly know. You can find smart people in the science world who don't buy into the big bang theory, you can find people who work with stuff like this who believe in a god. I accepted along time ago we will never get the answer. I just think it's troubling when people think the big bang is a fact and not a theory, wish it is. It's great science behind the theory, but were did the fire come from? it's always a question we can't ever answer. Were did space itself come from. How can it be anything. It's an impossible task for us to comprehend. Big bang theory is based upon a "let's say" and what I mean by this, they started the theory on "It was fire" but where did the fire come from? It's no way to explain these things. Space itself, even when it's just emptyness, shouldn't exist. Nothing should exist. It makes no sense.

Definitely very interesting and informative. I personally like science based topics, and already understood most of the concepts in this video, but definitely learned a bit about the contributors that discovered the wealth of knowledge we know and understand today. I personally understand space itself in 4 dimensions, and see time as simply a dimension of space like the other 3. They're all variable, but tied together. Mass, made from energy, acts on space itself and inherently any energy, including mass, is subsequently effected in all 4 dimensions by this distorted space. We observe this as gravity, and I personally think this could be why gravity hasn't been able to be quantized. Maybe there is no quantum gravity, because gravity is not a particle, force, or even energy, but a consequence of energy acting on the 4 dimensional space around it. If that's the case, the closest you can get to quantum gravity is measuring the distortion that the smallest quantum bit of energy has on its surrounding space. Anyway thank you for a very well put together and quality video.❤️❤️

This doesn't even begin to show the worth of this video as a scientific piece, and falls even further away from appreciating it's value as an entertainment piece. Well done on the masterful ability to put those two things together, and bring some semblance of beauty AND knowledge to millions that otherwise would not have experienced it. Well done and thank you, from all of us, somewhere in time.

One of the best documentaries about early physics, and the only one - of hundreds I've watched-that made me almost understand the so called "quantum fields theory", the diagrams of fenyman who have always been like gibberish magical spell and the dual nature of light.

For the (idea of) electrons agreeing to swap the photon, over the vastness of space-time, they had to know it would get there (the photon would cooperate and so would everything else [including the stuff we're still not certain of]).

I watch a lot of videos about these concepts through a plethora of channels, but your work here captivates me by far the most and it's not even close. I love to discuss these ideas with my friends and family. The complexity tends to ruin discussion because it can all be nigh impossible to visualize these concepts. Your analogies clear up the confusion. I thank you for that. Wonderful video, wonderful channel. Keep up the good work, please.

Always been a tech science guy, learned more from one YouTube video , then I have watching dozens of shows on the subject, thanks for your passion on the subject, I enjoyed this very much. Between this video , the double slit experiment, I'm almost certain we are in a simulation , like if you were going to make a video game of our existence, a lot of the weird , things we cannot explain with quantum mechanics, make more sense then not.

I finally have a skeletal notion of what Feynman did. I have been a layman in a plastic world of wonder my whole life where it comes to theoretical physics. I'm not able to distinguish the difference between general and special relativity, though I recently did learn to grok the concepts. As a 'theoretical' psychologist ( I just made that up), I knew that there was a sphere of phenomena, in which time passed; and outside which forces applied irrespective to time. Now I understand the "handshake" across space-time from the perspective of theoretical physics. This is a significant personal intellectual integration. The narrative of the "first" photon is an extremely effective teaching tool.

So, I have a question: Do all photons begin their journeys from electrons and end their journeys by hitting another electron? Is there any other way for a photon to start out or arrive?

Your videos are really good. Please slow them down a little bit.

In this realm, we get to imagine endless possibilities. Please let it breathe a little bit.

Water can be treated, both classically and quantum mechanically at the same time, consider that you can quantize water by dividing water by the smallest surface tension necessary to create a drop. Each of those drops that act classically, when isolated. They act quantum mechanically when they are part of a larger body. Water is both a particle and a wave at the same time. Granted it’s an analogy… but it works really well

This stuff is wonderful. I'm keen on popular science, but special relativity is about as far as I have got, because I know that to do it the way it's usually done requires mathematical literacy and the people who are charged with the responsibility of making things clear obviously don't see any reason why they should - as CallmeKenneth very rightly says.
