Shanzem Minmatar The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2008.04.19 22:34:00 - [1] Edited by: Shanzem on 19/04/2008 22:35:59 A collection of awesome YMTDs and videos, please add your own! Introduction to Quantum mechanics and how 1 Electron can occupy more then one space at a time (Waves of probability) Laser Experiment, Using placed mirrors and senors scientists record photons (1 fired 1 single little photon) could travel every path along it course, if no one looked at it physically if however a physical observe was there i.e you looking at it, it would collapse the waves of probability choosing only one path. Second part of Laser experiment proving the physical observer problem. Loverly explosion, look at the blast wave! physics at its finest! LHC, why do geeks get all the cool toys? Harverds Inner life of a living cell (thats one cell folks!) MUST SEE IF ANYTHING, just think you have a hole Ecosystem and millions upon millions in side you all working hard to keep you going. oh and just confirm Nature had wheels, legs and eyes even at the cell level before anything the size of a worm existed on this planet. Hacking DNA and then reprogramming. MIT, long viewing time, awesome none the less. Gas - Microscopic, and the power of 10 String Theory and Unification just a few links, could anybody add more to add to my collection? i love reading and watching things like this. Its so impressive to me that nature herself can be broken down to nothing more then maths and the universe itself works nicely with our way of doing this. -------------------------------------------
Elliot Reid Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2008.04.19 23:11:00 - [2] Yes science is cool and if anyone likes Astronomy I can recommend this series of Podcasts Astronomy 162 Stars, Galaxies and the Universe _______________________________________
Magnus Nordir Caldari	Posted - 2008.04.20 00:11:00 - [3] As a math/physics student, I approve of this thread. ***************************** Art is a noble mission beyond every temporary commitment, and as such obliges one to fanatism.
Avaan Eclipse Gallente	Posted - 2008.04.20 00:15:00 - [4] I hereby endorse this product and/or service. The inner workings of a cell video was too awesome for words.
MattSB Domination. Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.20 07:58:00 - [5] Edited by: MattSB on 20/04/2008 07:58:35 Woh the inner cell one was amazing, nice to see it in graphical form instead of pages and pages of notes like normal Just working through the DNA one now. Thanks for the post
kor anon Amarr Ministry of War	Posted - 2008.04.20 10:04:00 - [6] I love the laws of probability probably my favorite. Eg. Its possible to walk through a wall, yet very very unlikely. Or better yet theres a chance you can spontaniously teleport. Physics A level is fun (sometimes)
Shanzem Minmatar The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2008.04.20 11:11:00 - [7] Originally by: kor anon I love the laws of probability probably my favorite. Eg. Its possible to walk through a wall, yet very very unlikely. Or better yet theres a chance you can spontaniously teleport. Physics A level is fun (sometimes) Very, i think the most used phrase could sum that up nicely "that wouldn't of happened if you was not looking at it" and its true the more physical observers the more like something is to happen. I am going to post some more up later on, keep this thread bookmarked -------------------------------------------
Amaterasu Omikami Caldari Paradox Collective INTERDICTION	Posted - 2008.04.20 11:18:00 - [8] Hehe some very good stuff there Shanzem - nice post
Joseph 9 Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2008.04.20 20:00:00 - [9] As a professional physicst/mathematician I hearbye endorse this thread. In particular the blast wave as that is my field, and things exploding are cool.
Splagada Minmatar Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.20 21:34:00 - [10] the quantumiscool videos are really well made !! taking that for my students :p ------ Tides of Silence

Splagada Minmatar Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.20 22:49:00 - [12] Edited by: Splagada on 20/04/2008 22:52:56 Edited by: Splagada on 20/04/2008 22:51:26 doing basic quantum physics for license level for the physics courses, and up to masters level for the non-physics guys (who stick at the double quantum well+fermi). working in research but not fully in theory so i take the easier ones. sticking to this because i got trouble to explain Bell inequalities without some smart(ass!) asking me real questions that i have no answer about myself :p even the "quantum eraser" is totally counterintuitive, i can explain this in "repeat" mode but i have trouble accepting that this ****** up thing is how the world works :p edit : for courses id recommend the entire section of Feynman books. take the Landau Lifschitz for the maths and you're set. for the basic levels, take Mr Tompkins from Gamow, Brief history of time from S.Hawkins, that's really helpful to explain the concepts if they are translated, the Cohen Tanoudji (nobel 199x) is awesome, but i dont know if they exist in english. but i built my courses on those last ones edit 2: latest book from brian greene (err elegant univserse?? forgot the title) gave really good explanations of those crazy experiments. but the part on how general relativity explains how you'll live is a bit hmmm above course scope if you dont want to get shot after the course :p ------ Tides of Silence

Thank you I have a large selection of E-books i have been collecting over time, Some of them have been useful more so then others. i also have another few books to order yet so i am definitely going to give those a good look. -------------------------------------------
F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2008.04.21 06:27:00 - [14] A much easier way to prove this: 1) Put dish soap in a funnel. 2) Attach funnel to a tube connected to a methane, or any inflammable gas which is lighter than air, source. Note 1 and 2 are interchangeable. 3) Allow inflammable gas to pass through funnel. 4) Apply a flame to resulting bubbles. 5) Watch as the lab's ceiling catches on fire. True story.

Artificial black holes - Very long Watch and very interesting. Big Dog! Tripod Robotics (War of the worlds eat your heart out!) Second Video of the strider that is built and moves. Railgun Technology Burning Salt test (Very nice ) I have more to post later on -------------------------------------------
Brea Lafail	Posted - 2008.04.21 18:19:00 - [17] I had one chem prof tell a story about him and his mates getting drunk, steeling a fist-sized piece of potassium, and tossing it in a lake... I guess they made a video of it, but I never managed to get a copy. Also, Im more interested in how they plan to aim these giant rail guns than just how to get the bullet moving.
Kyrall Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.04.21 18:55:00 - [18] I used to go to an after-school Chemistry club thing, did some cool things then, I'm sure the teacher could have been fired for a few of them, here's a couple of the best: Get a large tin with a replaceable lid (like a custard powder tin), punch a hole in the top and bottom, fill it with gas and then light the gas coming out of the top hole. When it gets to the right mixture of air (drawn in through the bottom hole) and gas, it explodes, making a really loud bang - and usually a dent in the ceiling as the lid pops off. One great thing about this is that (depending on the size of the hole) it can take a long time for this to happen. He said he once (long ago) set it up before a lesson and then genuinely forgot, it went off in the middle of the lesson, woke the kids up! Set up Bunsen burners horizontally and facing each other using clamps, put a funnel underneath with a tube attached to the small end, put some powder (we tried a few, like custard powder, hot chocolate etc) in the funnel. It's hard to describe so I made a scientific diagram of it here. We put a big perspex screen up to protect us, then blew hard on the tube. If the powder is flammable, it makes a very cool fireball go up to the ceiling! My teacher was great! Oh yeah, the science bit: they demonstrate the need for oxygen as well as fuel, like a certain terrorist found out at an airport, a full fuel tank will not explode! And the second one gave much more impressive results than trying to burn a pile of the powder! - Originally by: SeismicForce Bottom left, there are golden arrows, click on them...

Slade In a Ironic twist if Geeks weren't doing science there wouldn't be drugs they use for recreational fun, Twist of fate but people have forgotten were most of the crap they use everyday comes from! You heard of the guys responsible for producing 90+ percent of the LSD in the states pre 1998, Wikipedia (typically not a favorite source, but they have the most colorful description of the bust) Pickard and Apperson The decline in prevalence of LSD is correlated with the arrest of two chemists, William Leonard Pickard, a Harvard educated organic chemist, and Clyde Apperson. According to DEA reports, black market LSD availability dropped by 95% after the two were arrested in 2000. These arrests were a result of one of the largest LSD manufacturing raids in DEA history.[70] Pickard was an alleged member of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love group that produced and sold LSD in California during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is believed he had links to other "cooks" associated with this group ù an original source of the drug back in the 1960s ù and his arrest may have forced other operations to cease production, leading to the large decline in street availability. The DEA claims that these two individuals were responsible for supplying a third of the LSD in the United States and maybe the world,[71] however, the government quoted seizure amounts in connection with this case have been seriously questioned.[72] Obviously they did not create it, but Harvard + drug manufacturing = good drugs Slade

This was my 1st exposure to Quantum Physics. What the Bleep..Down the Rabbit Hole. IT is a little soft I would say, digestible to the general population. It is a documentary bringing Scientists and Theists together discussing Quantum Physics and how it and religion work with each other or something of the such. Not sure how good it is on a scientific level, but it probably is good for the general population. It was my 1st exposure to the concept of Waves of Probability. Not sure if anyone would be interested in it, but here it is anyway. Slade

Not sure if anyone would be interested in it, but here it is anyway. Slade Mine was Quantum computers and teleportation and a hybrid of railgun technology. My idea was simple, if a Qubit is a matter but in transitional state (Neither 1 or 0) and is kept in place via magnetism and during that state shot down a pipe or a secondary location without any physical observers it will remain in its transnational state. upon on the receiving end it in then observed and brought into a 1 or 0, Quantum entanglement tells us that 2 objects that are located in the same local thresh hold they can be linked on a quantum level. so if you break a small material down onto a quantum state and into a qubit and they are physically linked on on Quantum entanglement level upon the receiving end they should once observed return back to there normal state and positions. this is only a Thoery.. i wold love to experiment on this more but i lack the funding. the idea is, get any matter turn it into a Qubit shoot it to another location at 8 times the speed of sound and re observe it and have it reform into its original state. this is a cheap method of teleportion but in theory it should work. Anybody got a lab i can borrow -------------------------------------------
HankMurphy Minmatar Pelennor Swarm Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.22 00:30:00 - [26] I really liked this: Nova special on the pursuit of absolute zero This is a great special. Starts out slow but later chapters get really interesting on what future applications these super low temperatures can lead us to. ------------------------------ of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most
Buxaroo Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.04.22 13:37:00 - [27] This is a great thread dude. Bookmarking this for future reference. Can't watch these videos at work (damn IT blocking youtube grr). Anytime science is celebrated it is a good thing considering how scientific ignorance is on the trend in our world

EDIT: **** i have already been beaten quantum teleportation Memo to self check wiki. wiki knowns all, obey the wiki Edit 2: Ok later review it appears it does not teleport it or move it physically, So again Matter broken down onto a quantum level > Movement > logic gates > maths > reconstruction. Anybody got a lab i can borrow One of the toics they went over was the Waves of Probability. Another topic that blew my mind was something about how nothing is ever really touching anything else. The example they used was a basketball bouncing/being dribbled is never really coming in contact with the ground. Something about space between the molecules that make up matter. I need to go back and watch it again. So I can talk reasonably about it. Slade bangs head on desk Slade wonders if his head actually touched the desk O_\ Slade
