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?

How does laser cooling work?
Lasers are known to burn things, fix eyes, and dance on powerpoint presentations. But they can also be used to cool objects to some of the coldest temperatures in the universe.

The Double-Slit Experiment
This is a classic experiment that is frequently referred to when describing quantum phenomena, so we definitely have to go over it a little bit. What happens when you pass a beam of light through a screen with two slits? What about when...

The ULTRAVIOLET CATASTROPHE
How did the field of quantum mechanics come about in the first place? The Rayleigh-Jeans catastrophe, also known as the ultraviolet catastrophe was a prediction by the Rayleigh-Jeans law that a blackbody would radiate infinite amounts of...

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:...

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...

Bohr Model of the Hydrogen Atom
Why don't protons and electrons just slam into each other and explode? Why do different elements emit light of different colors? Niels Bohr knew why. And now you will too!
