The Illusion of Reality.
When I read that title, I thought, “Yea, I know all about that kind of stuff. Life’s all an illusion, we only exist if/as we perceive the world around us, string theory, blah blah, etc…”
But then I watched it. This video is like LHC-type stuff on steroids, but narrated really well—and really lucidly; so much so that Quantum Electrodynamic Theory seems like basic high school math. I learned more in those 59 minutes than I did hearing my Physhics IB profs drone on about the same exact topics for 2 years… but all I got out of those lectures was that math is too complicated, and that laser disks are still awesome.
I’d bookmark it to watch later if you get a chance; the stuff about anti-matter, ‘non-empty vacuums’, multi-verses, and infinite dimensions within each atom sounds like it’s all straight out of science fiction (and it is..), but it’s explained well enough that a layman in quantum physics such as myself—and yourself—can understand without too much brain implosion.
Plus, I’m totally making a movie about all this.
