Quantum Mechanics and the Schrodinger Equation
Okay, it's time to dig into quantum mechanics! Don't worry, we won't get into the math, we just want to understand what the math represents, and come away with a new and improved view of the electron as both a circular standing wave and...

Quantum Randomness
How is quantum randomness anymore mysterious than the randomness of a coin flip? Youll see. The homework questions and extra readings are below: The questions: 1. What if there are three slits and you only have a detector at one. What...

Dave Wineland and 'The Big Bang Theory'
NIST Nobel Laureate Dave Wineland gave a talk about his research on quantum physics on Feb. 1, 2013. After the talk a member of the audience asked a question about the TV sitcom "The Big Bang Theory". This clip shows the answer.

Why Cant You Use Quantum Mechanics To Communicate Faster Than Light?
The EPR paradox, that we met in a previous video, tells us 2 entangled particles can effect each other no matter now far away they are. But then why cant we use them to send instant messages across the universe? Einsteins relativity...

The Born Rule
In this video, the Debroy Hypothesis is explored, shedding light on the wave-particle duality of matter and the equation used to determine particle wavelength. The discussion delves into interpreting the hypothesis precisely, leading to...

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Part 1: Position/Momentum and Schrodinger's Cat
What do you think, that Breaking Bad made up the name Heisenberg? Think again! He was an awesome physicist. He has a few things to say about what we can and can't know about the quantum world. Let's take a look, shall we?

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.

How science explains monster waves
Rogue waves - enormous, spontaneous surface waves in the open ocean - were once the tall tales of sailors. They are waves that reach 2-3x taller than the largest average waves in the area, reaching heights of 75 – 100ft. With the help of...

The Law of Superposition and Index Fossils
In this video, the concept of the law of superposition is explained, which states that younger rock layers are found on top of older rock layers in sedimentary rocks. Additionally, the video introduces the concept of index fossils, which...

Understanding Geologic Time
This video explains the concept of geologic time and how geologists determine the age of Earth and its rock layers. It introduces the idea of relative time and absolute time, and highlights the law of superposition. A Journey Through...

Khan Academy: Light and Electromagnetic Radiation: Wave Interference
A video lecture investigating when two waves superpose to create a resultant wave. This phenomenon called interference is discussed in detail in this video including what happens in constructive and destructive interference. Also learn...

Iris: Stratigraphy: Geologic History of a Region in Cross Section
Rocks may be created in layers, but those layers do not always stay in the form or location where they were created. Find out about the forces that can change rock layers that help tell the story of the Earth in that location.
