Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)

9th - Higher Ed
In our study of physics, we have become aware of four forces, and the fields that mediate them. Once we got deep into quantum theory, we started to realize that these forces are not mediated by fields at all, but rather by quanta. That's...

What Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle Actually Means

12th - Higher Ed
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?

Matrices make sense: Linear transformations and matrix multiplication

12th - Higher Ed
Matrices are often presented as a useful bookkeeping/ commutation tools to students- but there's much more to them. When you understand what a Matrix really is so many parts of Linear Algebra will be completely obvious to you, including...

Is Spin Angular Momentum afterall?

12th - Higher Ed
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:...

Matrix inverses make sense - A simple condition for when the inverse exists

12th - Higher Ed
This video is about matrix inverses, and in particular, I try to give a bit more intuition for them- rather than just giving you the formula for the determinant, Cramner's rule, the inverse of 2x2 and 3x3 matrices etc. Along the way, we...

Quantum Physics: Here’s Why Movies Always Get It Wrong

Pre-K - Higher Ed
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...

How real are the real numbers, really?

12th - Higher Ed
We usually say that infinity isnt real, but here well see how crucial it is to have one very big infinity for the real world; there is an infinite number of numbers. But why do we need real numbers at all? Arent rational numbers...
