Bohmian Mechanics - An Alternative to Quantum
I explain the basic idea of Bohmian Mechanics and how it gives the same results as Quantum Mechanics with out saying things like "a particle is in more than one place at a time"

Seize The Moment - Stephen Hawking
There are few scientists that can be said to have touched the public imagination. Physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking is one such scientist. He spent his life seeking the answers to the biggest questions in the universe. This video...

Introduction to Modern Physics
Quantum mechanics, relativity, space-time, Schrodinger's Cat, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, you've heard of all this stuff but you assume that there's no way you can understand it. Think again! With a little bit of preparation,...

Understanding Quantum Mechanics
This video is an simple introduction to quantum mechanics that explains why there is still so much controversy over the meaning of this scientific theory.

The reason for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
This video will focus on why the uncertainty principle happens. Well see that you need surprisingly little to explain it.

Fourier Series
In this video, I explain what the Fourier series does, and why it is one of the most surprising results in mathematics. All the plotted graphs in this video were done in Mathematica. If you dont have the program then you can use the free...

What is the Fourier Transform?
In this video, well look at the fourier transform from a slightly different perspective than normal, and see how it can be used to estimate functions.

What is Spin? - Quantum Mechanics
Research assignment: Teach me about spin. Below there are suggested questions, recommended sources and my social media accounts: QUESTIONS: Questions that require less research: 1. This is our first real example of quantization, the...

Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
In our study of physics, we have become aware of four forces, and the fields that mediate them. Once we got deep into quantum theory, we started to realize that these forces are not mediated by fields at all, but rather by quanta. That's...

What Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle Actually Means
Lets talk about one of the most misunderstood but awesome concepts in physics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Or maybe it should be the Heisenberg fuzziness principle instead? Would that confuse less people?

Matrices make sense: Linear transformations and matrix multiplication
Matrices are often presented as a useful bookkeeping/ commutation tools to students- but there's much more to them. When you understand what a Matrix really is so many parts of Linear Algebra will be completely obvious to you, including...

Is Spin Angular Momentum afterall?
On why I was very wrong. In my previous video, I said that spin isnt very linked to angular momentum at all- but in fact, theres a key property of angular momentum that spin has, suggesting they are linked after all. Book recommendation:...

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - Quantum Mechanics
In this episode Ill describe the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics and talk about what it really means.

Matrix inverses make sense - A simple condition for when the inverse exists
This video is about matrix inverses, and in particular, I try to give a bit more intuition for them- rather than just giving you the formula for the determinant, Cramner's rule, the inverse of 2x2 and 3x3 matrices etc. Along the way, we...

Quantum Physics: Here’s Why Movies Always Get It Wrong
Quantum physics deals with the foundation of our world – the electrons in an atom, the protons inside the nucleus, the quarks that build those protons, and the photons that we perceive as light. These constitute everything that we are...

How real are the real numbers, really?
We usually say that infinity isnt real, but here well see how crucial it is to have one very big infinity for the real world; there is an infinite number of numbers. But why do we need real numbers at all? Arent rational numbers enough?...

Vectors make sense - Vector addition and basis vectors
Vectors may seem very difficult when youre first introduced to them, but I hope this video helps you see theyre not that scary! This is the start of a whole series of linear algebra, and I will cover vectors, the scalar product,...
