[00:40:00] Highest highest level. I appreciate the support. on the topics you've covered, which one rattled your brain the most? Probably this one, Blackbeard. This one I struggled with the most. Um, simulation theory is also that was a tough one, especially the um the double slit experiment. That's explainable, I think, with the wave patterns and stuff. It's not easy to do, but it's explainable. What becomes difficult is um John Wheeler's experiment. It's called the delayed choice experiment.
[00:40:30] That's a hard one to wrap your mind around. But you know it's just us. So I'll tell you how it works. So you know the delayed slit experiment, right? Particles, electrons, photon, whatever it is are shot at the double slit and they make the two lines, you know, like if you had a fire hose, it would make the two lines. But once you start observing and measuring the activity, suddenly you don't have the two lines. Suddenly you have a bunch
[00:41:00] of lines. It's called an interference pattern and that would happen if the particles are acting as waves. Okay, everybody got we learned that in high school. The delayed choice experiment is extra strange. So what John Wheeler who was brilliant and did all kinds of stuff physics wise, but this is my favorite one. So he said, "What if we so we we turn on this device, right, and suddenly it switches from particles to waves.
[00:41:30] That's That's weird. What if we shoot the things and after they pass the device, the measuring device, then we turn it on. You know what happens then? Cuz they're already gone, right? They're they're they pass through the slit and then we measure them. What he discovered was the particles pass through the slit as particles. turns on the measuring device
[00:42:00] afterward. They're waves, but they recorded themselves as having passed through as waves. So, what they did was they changed their state by going back in time. And that's crazy. So, he takes it a step further. What if we take light from a far away distant, right? It's still photons. And then we do the delayed choice experiment on those photons coming in from a million light years away. We all know
[00:42:30] that the light from a galaxy a million lighty years away is a million years old, right? So we understand that he takes this distant light and shoots it through his apparatus. And there's diagrams of his apparatus also. It's crazy. The mirrors and all kinds of stuff. So he shoots this distant light through the apparatus and figures out that the same thing happens from that light. But that light is a million years old. So it didn't just go back in time across
[00:43:00] the lab. It went back in time a million years and changed it state. So, when I think about those types of experiments, um, that's those are the ones that really make me think about simulation theory, you know, and I'm not I'm not I'm not fully on board with it, but I'm I'm I'm like 90% on board with it because no one can explain that. And that's kind of the joke that you'll see physicists say because there's always going to be some some, you know, hey bro that's that's
[00:43:30] going to try to explain it. But you anyone who could explain how that happens, they get the Nobel Prize that they that that's you you have an answer for that. You come collect your Nobel Prize. So when I look at that stuff, I mean that's you know it defies the light speed means nothing. Um you know like with with quantum entanglement it's the same thing, right? You start thinking that
[00:44:00] how could it be? I'm sure you know what quantum entanglement is. For the one person who's new, here's a quick thing. You got you got two particles, right, hanging out, whatever they're doing. And we use CERN or Brook Haven or some machine to to get those particles apart. And when that happens, those particles have information. Let's say they're they're both spinning a certain way. We get those particles apart, but now
[00:44:30] but they're entangled. So particle A is here. Particle A is be here. Particle A, particle B. If we change particle A, particle B does the same thing. Does kind of the opposite, but it also moves. And what they discovered, it doesn't matter how far far apart the particles are, they they are entangled. Einstein called it spooky action at a distance. And as the years go on, we've increased the distance and the the effect is instantaneous, meaning
[00:45:00] there is no speed of light. And it's assumed that distance doesn't even matter with the particles that they could be on different sides of the galaxy and moving instantaneously. Speed of light is nothing. Nonsense. It's instant. So I can't try to explain that from a physics perspective but just from a lay person's perspect perspective how you know what is the what is the medium in which the
[00:45:30] information moves you know how does it how does it know to do that you know light can affect things it light starts here it goes there it makes shadows on the wall whatever goes through a prism it does some stuff it can affect things um but there's a medium that light travels in, right? Travels in a vacuum. It travels through glass. It travels through stuff. The photons move through there. But if if if the changes are instant on these
[00:46:00] particles, what is it moving through? And there's no real answer for that unless you go back to the absolute and this energy field that exists around everything that we can't perceive. then it makes sense because according to tonight's video and and Colonel McDonald and a lot of physicists and holographic principle and all these things um there is a medium there we just can't perceive it it's around everything and in that medium which he calls the
[00:46:30] absolute um or infinity or whatever in that medium there is no time so speed of light it doesn't matter speed of light there because there's no speed. It's just everything is happens at once. So, um, Blackbeard, those are the types of things that break my brain. Uh, the dogmat of Michigan does not break my brain. That one, that one I can, that one I can get through. That's, you know,
[00:47:00] that's an easy one. But, but this type of existential stories, they break my brain. And they happen to be my favorite ones to do. But um but I don't I don't know how many Look, aliens get clicks, UFOs get clicks, but these stories the ones that make me really struggle are my favorite. Thanks for the tip. Vulcan Commando. And that looks like a Vulcan, right? Is that a Vulcan with with laser eyes? Uhhuh. And and some type of Vulcan gun.
[00:47:30] That's a Vulcan gun. Is that is that a phaser or is that a disruptor? Vulcan would probably be a disruptor, right? Probably a disruptor. Yeah, right. Well, they're so close to the Ramul Ramulans are always disruptors. Probably disruptor. Although the Vulcans are in the Federation, so it could be a phaser. Could be. You know, it may be. Who knows? Who knows who he's going against
[00:48:00] today? No, I appreciate the contribution to the Star Trek conversation. Was the TARDIS because of Doctor Who's Brain Power, live long and prosper? Um, the TARDIS was in there. The the toys in the bowl always change based on what the episode is. So, and we used TARDIS last week, but this week I it was about traveling through time and dimensions, and I wanted to do something different, but that's what the TARDIS does. Yes.
[00:48:30] Right, Jenny. That's what it does. Yes. I mean, TARDIS stands for What does TARDIS stand for? Time and reality. I should know this. I know. I love Doctor Who. What does it stand for? I I don't know. I I was relative dimensions in space. Yeah. Is it Did you remember that or did
[00:49:00] the chat bail you out? The chat told me. Well, don't be frustrated. But I love Doctor Who. When is when is Tenet back? He was just back for the Christmas special and then Yeah, but wasn't there a rumor that he was It was just for the special. It was in between the two doctors switching. So, I have a question for you though. what you were talking about um what we observe, right? So, we're observing all of these
[00:49:30] experiments. We're recording them somehow, right? And we're looking at them. I mean, we're looking at infinite decimal objects. So, could it not be that our equipment is just not capable of seeing the movement of objects that small? I mean, like, we watch video and to us it looks like it's perfectly synced up, but you're talking about things that are so Gino is laughing at
[00:50:00] me and I'm not quite sure why. You're looking at objects that are so tiny that could it just be that what we have to observe these types of things just isn't isn't fast enough isn't strong enough to for us to see it in real time. So when we're watching it back it looks like a wave or it looks like it's split or it looks like it's doing something but it's we just don't we're not capable of of
[00:50:30] catching it in real time. I think it's the only answer because we are capable of seeing a particle determining its velocity, its spin. We we can we can we can see it doing all of that stuff and we can make it do stuff, but we still can't explain what happens with with the wave and particle problem. We still can't solve that. Nobody really knows why because I mean we wouldn't even really know like if if it's so small and it's
[00:51:00] moving so fast and it's doing all of these things. We may think we're seeing it in real time but it's it's really hard to know if we're actually seeing what it's doing right in that second. Well that's has to be that has to be the default answer when we don't know why something happens. what no matter what it is, it just means that we don't have the information or the equipment or the training or whatever it is. So with the double slit, there is a reason, right? And there is a reason, but no one's been
[00:51:30] able to really solve it. That's why holographic principle if we talk about that is interesting because there are parts of theoretical physics that don't make sense like um how black holes absorb information, right? Um, and destroy it. But Stephen Hawking couldn't couldn't make
[00:52:00] that work with math. Like it this shouldn't be that it it shouldn't do this. Like it shouldn't just be destroyed. But with holographic principle, holographic theory, if you extrapolate the three dimensions back down to two and flatten it out using their math, suddenly it works. Suddenly everything works. So it could be something like we just don't have the right information yet to know why it does what it does,
[00:52:30] right? And I mean, they're also starting to see black holes spitting things back out. So, where does it go when it disappears? And then where you know it's coming back, but coming back from where? And how long has it been gone? So, I don't know why you're smirking at me. To go back to why I was laughing, I was wondering if the TARDIS was somehow
[00:53:00] related to the foam boot that they take in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, cuz they're very similar. Oh, interesting. I forgot about that. That's right. How about that, Bill and Teds? There they go. Deep thoughts. Deep thoughts. Um, thanks for that, Vulcan Commando. And live long and prosper yourself. Uh, thank Vulcan Commando. Appreciating the logic in tonight's episode. Desa Scott 1234. Great channel and very good
[00:53:30] episode. You guys rock. Love the glasses. Thanks. All the better to see you with Desa Scott. There's Sunny A for $10. Hey yo, making it rain over here. This seems much more attainable than making the stone. It will smell better around here, too. I'm in. That's true. And Sunny's talking about the philosopher stone in an episode from a couple of weeks ago. And if you didn't see that episode, philosopher stone is made with urine. You boil it, you distill it down and down and down, and
