I was curious to see how you guys would try to graphically represent quantic principals, since they are by definition conter-intuitive. So far you're doing a great work, keep it up ! :)

Bill Lemmond

And don't think I don't notice that you take every opportunity to include beans of color, and even female beans, in a too often male-dominated field. And I love it. I've spent a lifetime on the sidelines, often excluded, because of my disabilities. I feel safer, knowing you're slowly chipping away at unconscious ethnocentricity. :)

Bill Lemmond

I will have to watch this, again and again, to get it all, because I need to read things. But I already love it. Around 5:26, you totally cracked me up. First, the narrator lost it, then the "Technical Difficulties" screen popped up, followed by Zoe. I love cats, and Zoe included. But I was already laughing hard. That bit is so funny to me that when I slid the progress bar back to find the time signature, I still laughed so hard that I went into a coughing fit. I know you cant do that every time, as it would be needlessly distracting, and would lose its impact. I just want you to know that you bring joy to education. I look forward to sharing this series with friends at the Hack RVA workshop club (not actually evil hackers).

Extra History

We had previously stated when we first announced this series in Non-Euclidean Geometry that this series had been backed by a "mystery patron" :P

I also found the updog interference pattern sort of confusing and not really helpful in illustrating interference. Educational metaphor / artistic liberty aside, if you actually want to see what wave interference could look like, you necessarily have to go somewhere else. I'm not a physicist.

Jorlem

While I very much enjoyed the rest of the video, I am not a fan of leaving out the actual interference pattern. It looks really neat, and replacing it with a joke makes it that much harder to take the explanations the video is giving seriously. (And given the complexity of the material, and how it differs from our instinctive assumptions of how the world works, that sort of trust is not something you should intentionally discard. You are basically implicitly saying "this double slit thing is not <i>really</i> true, don't take this seriously".) Also, as a physicist, I just find it grating. Imagine if you intentionally decided to use the wrong flags in your history videos.

Martin Verran

Yay for Extra Extra History!

Juan Alberto Aranda Alvarez

Oh yes! this episode rules. Quantum Physics goes so much against what we perceive as common sense. And I love your explanation (and the "updog" pattern) x)

Jacob Ashton

Well i didn't understand any of that, but still liked it.

Agree, good humor to help make the information more palatable. Hope the rest of the series is as informative.

Cindy Franklin

This is making my brain hurt, but I really enjoy listening to Matt. I'm glad he's having fun with narrating. ^_^

David Harkness

Great start! I'm just glad I already knew what the interference pattern looks like. I wonder if its omission will confuse other viewers.

Thomas Alfred Weaver

what the heck is a "mystery patron"?

Sientir

This was great! Interesting, informative, and with some good comedy. :)
