Einstein's Quantum Riddle Preview
S46 E2 - 27s
Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance,” but today quantum entanglement is poised to revolutionize technology from computers to cryptography. Physicists have gradually become convinced that the phenomenon—two subatomic particles that mirror changes in each other instantaneously over any distance—is real.
The “Hippy Days” of Quantum Physics
S46 E2 - 1m 43s
In seeing quantum entanglement as central to physics, The Fundamental Fysiks Group were decades ahead of their time.
One of the Greatest Meetings of the Minds in History
S46 E2 - 2m 28s
The theory of quantum mechanics presented at the meeting said that a particle like an electron isn’t physically real until it’s observed, measured by an instrument that can detect it. Before it’s detected, instead of being a solid particle, an electron is just a fuzzy wave, a wave of probability.
