Hearted Youtube comments on Dr Ben Miles (@DrBenMiles) channel.

  1. Santa is in a superposition where he is nether alive nor dead.

  2. You explain things well. I feel as we learn more, it points towards sim theory. Is the universe God?

  3. Very well presented and argued. Nice work.

  4. In one explanation for quantum coupling, it is said that what we observe is on another plane but when the plane/dimension gets reduced to a single dimension, the perceived distance between those two points are much smaller. The space we perceive is really an illusion.

  5. Would love to see this tech give the paralysis the ability to play video games. Most only require a few buttons. And if you could for example draw a c to click c and move a mouse around there are many games to play. Also this could be trained with an ai to make the connection better.

  6.  @DrBenMiles  No, in this case I think you're being much too humble. I think you actually need to contact YouTube Ben. I've resubscribed to your channel multiple times, and no matter what I do, you never show up on my youtube home. I also have notifications enabled, and never am. The yt algorithm is a black box open for conjecture and mysticism; but other creators who were less active around the same time you were, apparently contacted youtube and found that the algo had developed a severe bias against them - if I remember correctly it basically classified that creator as something close to spam. On a side note if you were pondering ever making an optics course, all technical goodness included, I'd gobble that up. I'd be an instant patron.

  8. Also it could make it so that we slow down / stop aging? Would it work on us right now or just our kids?

  11. This is extremely cool! Thanks for making the video.

  13. Thank you for the breakdown. And thank you for including that Carl Sagan clip at the beginning, what an amazing human!

  14. Thank you for making this, it’s so useful! I’ve been wanting to look into how this is done so I really appreciate you doing that research for us!

  15. Hello Ben ! I like your videos a lot ! Could you do one on what you think about infinite growth in a finite planet with a slowly oil and gas depletion reserves happening

  16. Very interesting. I'm always in awe of true brainiacs, and these guys also seem to be having a lot of fun.

  17. This is a really cool project. I am very excited to see their results with a better confidence interval. Nice coverage of the topic.

  18.  @DrBenMiles  I don't think it is unfair at all. People need to be paid to be educators, perhaps the system needs retooling however. Some classes one must take to get any degree make zero sense for that degree. I am just an amateur logican. I'd like to call myself a pro - but no one wants to pay me for analyzing arguments ;) heh. Anyway keep doing what you do because I (and others) enjoy learning science from you and people like you that do this sort of thing. Also learning how to learn - that is a whole thing isn't it? Heck a whole thing could be made about education and what it should be "for" or "about" - teach what skill sets we need to be an adult - don't just assume parents will do that. I do not think I've used hardly anything I learned in school in my adult life. Ah well. I think the song "dont stay in school" covers the problem somewhat. Okay long post of me waffling about things. Ah, I guess I will ask you to check out "deconverted band" my first/second album on my channel you might like "Logic Ate Me" the second song on the first album. Okay I have now been random and tangent filled, thanks for reading any of this woot. :D

  19. It’s foolish, but I was raised in a family of [very traditional, conservative] academics who pushed the narrative that one’s trajectory must involve acquiring a doctorate, then finding a tenured professorship. This is obviously not true, but as much as I’ve tried to disentangle my perception of my worth from their value system, it’s still what drives me, now in the process of scheduling my comps. I’m worn down, feel lost, and can’t for the life of me imagine how I got here. While I do love research in general and my field specifically, and I have a great supervisor, committee, and lab group, I worry about how far and remote the finish line seems, and I worry I’ll feel just as empty reaching it (if ever I do) as I do now. Height of ungrateful privilege, i know, I’m very lucky to have a family who prioritizes above all else this thing that I love doing. In their priorities however, it reliably comes before mental health, relationships/friendships, physical health, free will or individuality Whether or not that counts as worth it is unclear to me, ahah

  20. Perfect level of detail. Thanks so much you’ve got my sub.

  21. Very clear and mercifully brief explanation, thank you.

  22. Like your vids, interesting points of view.

  23. Lol, spinning a heptagon to demonstrate 6-fold symmetry. I thought I was going nuts.

  26. Really interestiing design and seem very convenient. Also great to see a video where you go visit something. Are you planning on making more videos in this direction?

  27. Loved the video, however I have a pedantic question; you said the sprinkler turns 40x slower than a normal sprinkler. I have been told to never use a multiplier to describe a fraction (40x vs 1/40). You have more formal education than I do, so I will defer to your answer and let go of this trivial distinction if need be.

  28. Awesome video! 🎉😊

  29. First, thank you for the sage wisdom. This is something that an individual as myself would not have contemporary access to. for various soc/econ/geo/domestic circumstances. Please keep up the vids. Thank you+ in advance. Second, could... can I.... ugh... um, ..is there a mechanism or system by which an individual could write/publish/submit a thesis outside of academia? I am just beginning MOOC via edX, however home econ and my geoLocation will not permit a Verified Track, and audit is my only option. Is there a path that I can still foresee the end goal of a PhD Thesis?

  33. No mention of alternate forms beyond carbon based life. Maybe a follow-up that goes back a stage to chemistry and discusses which elements could be built into chains (e.g. silanes) would be good.

  34. Hi, I'd like to point out that the geographic north is close to the magnetic south.

  35. Good video. If successful, the detection of low-frequency gravitational waves by the IPTA could provide important insights into the nature of black holes and other astrophysical phenomena, as well as confirming one of the last remaining predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Science, it works.

  36. Just a thought for channels that often have to convert between Celsius and Ferinheight for different viewers. Americans use Celsius for technical subjects. We just don't use it for things that are domestically familiar. Sort of like British people weigh things in Stone. When you are already talking about absurdly large numbers saying a dam weights 40 million stone doesn't really make a number more comprehensible since anything else at that scale isn't going to be measured in stone.

  37. quantum computers are so fascinating

  38. All sorts of wonderful, thank you.

  39. I really had trouble understanding quantum superposition (I'm a literature graduate and needed to understand quantum superposition for a very quirky SF short story), and thanks to you I finally get it!

  40. OMG! 3:21 As a little boy (I was odd, precocious, and read a lot. 'nuff said?) and fascinated by experimental physics, at some point I thought "Woa. That's like firing an 8 cylinder engine against a steel wall and then looking at the pieces to figure out how it works!" That was mid-1960s. I turned 70 last week. Never ever encountered that analogy in the wild! greets / thanks --ben_

  41. Ben, as an aspiring mechatronics engineer, this is the kind of work I wish to work towards in my career. Once I graduate from my undergraduate program, what steps should I take to get closer to brain-computer interfacing? Thank you for the phenomenal video as usual!

  42. Great video. Time crystals are a very fun concept.

  43. Salut. broth- you made splendid ocntent. see you on my side-;))

  44. Wow! Plenty of details about an experimental PhD! Thanks Ben!🙏❤️ What I still don't have any idea about is which area of physics should I choose (particle or nuclear physics or pure theoretical physics like string theory!) to get into research and what I should probably do after a PhD like, be a professor or get into research, etc. I am also curious about how do researchers make a living (theoretical physicists?).

  47. Hahahaha! Happy holidays! I especially loved the poet at the begining! great work as always Dr Ben. Going to show this to my 5 YO daughter! Santa's belly's too big for quantum!

  48. thank you, Dr. Miles!

  49. Actually one of the best and most simple explanations of Superposition on the internet. Love it man! Stay Random!

  50. Thank you Dr. Ben. This video is indeed soothing as these were exactly the same feeling I also had. You are a motivator for many of us.
