Brian Cox explains quantum mechanics in 60 seconds – BBC News

Published

British physicist Brian Cox is challenged by the presenter of Radio 4’s ‘Life Scientific’, Jim Al-Khalili, to explain the rules of quantum mechanics in just a minute. Brian succeeds; while conceding that the idea that everything is inherently probabilistic, is challenging. Even Einstein found it difficult.

    The best part is he does all this while looking like he’s in The Beatles or The Monkees.

    This was the most complicated simple explanation, therefore I failed to understand it.

    And who assigns these ambivalent measurements of these pathways of the electron that is in one corner and then probably will go to point B at some point in time, after it has gone to a different point B at another point in time?

    Brian Cox is the David Attenborough of Physics. So pleasant. Such an eloquent speaker in terms of relating subject matter in a a way that is on any listener's level. Go Brian! I am Brian, and so is my wife!

    Quanta are sub-atomic particles. Simple. Accepting their reality. Harder. Obviously every action and event at the gross physical level begins and ends with quantum particle activity. The difficulty is that these quanta don’t behave according to standard physics.
    However since their gross equivalents do it doesn’t pose too many problems in day to day life.
    Now: what renowned physicists like Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Dr John Hagelin and Dr. Deepak Chopra are saying is that because quanta are not subject to standard rules of physics they can be influenced by thought. This means behaviour patterns and interrelationships can be manoeuvred in desirable ways to improve the quality of life; allowing the values of pure consciousness to dominate the world of human activity.
    To my mind what would be interesting to research is the way the functioning of quantum entanglements is expressed at the gross level. It’s here that there is enormous potential to improve the quality of life. If quantum entanglements can be demonstrated to be responsible for particular undesirable events at the gross level then it should be possible for thought to rectify such situations – given that there are people trained to think at that level of awareness

    So from what I heard, Quantum Mechanics is just the distance and time of particles of particles of point A and B what ._.

    We can know past events of any particle by quantum mechanics only

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

New explosions near Iranian port cities, says state media | BBC News

Published

on



Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.

It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.

The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.

Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

US launches more strikes on Iran and resumes naval blockade of ports | BBC News

Published

on



The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
