Brian Cox explains quantum mechanics in 60 seconds - BBC News

SaJiD sa

In under a minute he gave and "explanation" that neither explains anything or points to any possible practical use for the knowledge. Nearly every scientific advancement that has benefitted humanity over the last 400 years (the most prolific period for advancement in human history) is based on classical mechanics. Quantum mechanics is "conjectural physics".

Congratulations, everyone just dropped out of physics 👍

It must be quite hard for them to have insightful conversation with rest of us.

Что это за хуйня???

It makes sense if you already know quantum mechanics but it makes no sense if you do not know, some things, just cannot be explained simple shortly.

My mother did it better. She showed me in 10 seconds that her woodstick and my head could not share the same place at the same time, Pauli principle.

So again, what is quantum mechanics?

🎉🎉

The wave or string that remembers pass spins

WOW so the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy was correct................the amazing improbability drive exists LOL

Distracted by the shine.

These two guys are totally awesome! Them and Michio Kuku are by far my favorite physicists.

Quantum mechanics is much more amazing and mind blogging than this one minute single example explanation.

Can we make a statue of this guy please

explanation sucks, should have explained how it connects to reality via max plank and the German government wanting a better lightbulb and Einsteins photelectric theory for which he won the nobel prize; this chronological explanation gives one a better appreciation for the subject and you go from being bewildered by insensitive stiff -necked know-it-alls to appreciating that nature does some strange stuff for which we have to change models as much as we change clothes

Huh

so what

aaaaaaand… I STILL don't know what it is.

Wow, the most obtuse, convoluted and opaque scientific theory explained in under 60 seconds.

Can Mr. Cox also share his AM-PM skin routine please? 😅

The probability of an electron being somewhere else is 1.
That makes me a quantum physics maestro 🥳🥳

This guy gives me the creeps. Creepy fecker

I actually understood and believed everything he said, and then I tilted my head and lost all information... bummer.

Quantum Mechanics for Dummies.

TBH, never in my life 60 seconds feel so long

I moved from my bathroom to my bed. I'm a quantum mechanic 👨‍🔧

Quantum entanglement 😅

Rodney Mullen not only defines the laws of physics on a skateboard, but also explains quantum physics effortlessly. What a legend 🛹 🌌

I think I get it… (I don’t get it)

Who at 60 minutes is letting him look greasy

Cox is far too precious.

I was supposed to have a date with a physicist. After watching this video I cancelled it. I am afraid she gonna know I am dumb.

Yup.

Well, that’s cleared that up.

Brian explains why idiots are called scientists

By allah's force this happens, just❤

It's like me trying to explain the importance of a regular bed time to my kid's

Okay, now explain it to me like in a parallel universe where i understand it like A 3 year old

WHAAAAAAT???????😳😭💔

He is a child. He isn’t intelligent. He is a shill. Magicians will be magicians 🎉

If it can it will what are the probabilities that it will

Its very good explanation !

Okay, now explain it to me like I’m 5

Just last month, scientists admitted, through new telescope evidence, that the whole Big Bang Theory was wrong. And Brian Cox was all over the media admitting "We got it wrong".

In some future time, I fully expect to see Brian Cox explaining "Quantum Mechanics: We got it wrong".

… so it is a theory based on probability… yes? So how come an apple tastes better than let’s saga nail or a shoe or a worm?

sorry I will need another 60 years and then I may still not get it

Anything to do with quanta is highly fascinating to me... this was a great way to explain to tbh...
