Description: From Copenhagen to pilot waves and many worlds, interpreting quantum mechanics is difficult. In this video, I try to explain them all to my wife. Let's see how I did. 00:00 Cold Open 00:16 What is Physics? 01:56 Weak Copenhagen Interpretation 04:01 Strong Copenhagen Interpretation 06:18 Determinism vs Causality 09:05 Retro Causality 12:25 Locality vs Realism 14:51 Pilot Waves 17:55 Many Worlds 22:38 Occam's Razor 25:26 What Does It All Mean? 26:43 Conclusion Nick Lucid - Creator/Host/Writer/Editor/Animator ________________________________ VIDEO ANNOTATIONS/CARDS Wife Reacts to Quantum Mechanics (Part 1): youtu.be/spCBFO5qob8 What is a Quantum Wave Function? youtu.be/vShpwplJyXk ________________________________ RELATED YOUTUBE VIDEOS Domain of Science on QM Interpretations: youtu.be/mqofuYCz9gs Eugene on QM Interpretations: youtu.be/XQ25E9gu4qI PBS Space Time on Pilot Waves: youtu.be/RlXdsyctD50 ________________________________ SUPPORT THE SCIENCE ASYLUM Patreon: patreon.com/ScienceAsylum Advanced Theoretical Physics (Paperback): lulu.com/shop/nick-lucid/advanced-theoretical-physics-a-historical-perspective/paperback/product-24250687.html Advanced Theoretical Physics (eBook): gumroad.com/l/ubSc Merchandise: shop.spreadshirt.com/scienceasylum ________________________________ HUGE THANK YOU TO THESE PATRONS Asylum Counselors: Matthew O'Connor, Nikolaos Vasiloglou II Asylum Orderlies: Fabio Manzini, William Morton, Medec Hurtz Einsteinium Crazies: Charles Copley, Ken Davis, Wacky, Eoin O'Sullivan, LT Marshall, Ilya Yashin Plutonium Crazies: Madhu Subbu, Ellis Hall, Compuart, Kevin MacLean, Al Davis Platinum Crazies: Mr. Orn Jonasar, David Johnston, Cody Martin, Boris Petrovchich, André Weyermann, Olga Cooperman, Tom Hawking, Kyle Bowles, Marino Hernandez, Jon Adams, Vittorio Monaco, Stephen Blinn, Mikayla Eckel Cifrese, Jonathan Reel ________________________________ OTHER SOURCES drchinese.com/David/Bell_Compact.pdf quantamagazine.org/why-the-many-worlds-interpretation-of-quantum-mechanics-has-many-problems-20181018 aip.scitation.org/doi/abs/10.1063/1.4982766 plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-retrocausality arxiv.org/abs/1902.05108 arxiv.org/abs/1902.05082 arxiv.org/abs/1301.7578 ________________________________ IMAGE CREDITS Werner Heisenberg: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heisenberg_10.jpg
