Science
Fundamentally everything is made of particles and these particles are are described by a quantum wavefunction. But what actually is it, and is it even real? Support this channel: https://www.patreon.com/domainofscience and https://store.dftba.com/collec....tions/domain-of-scie
Here I explain what they are and show a visualization of what they look like, and show how they are similar to many other waves we are familiar with.
Overall the wavefunction is a mathematical tool which keeps track of all of the properties of a quantum particle, and explains our observations of the probabilistic nature of where particles appear when we do experiments on them. From the wavefunction we can calculate all of the observables like position, momentum, energy or spin, by applying mathematical operators on it. So in quantum physics, the wavefunction encodes all of the information about the quantum system, and valid wavefunctions are solutions to the Schrodinger equation which I covered in my last video which you can watch here https://youtu.be/AR23uxZruhE

This is how to get your head around Feynman Diagrams. Get your free trial of MegellanTV here https://try.magellantv.com/domainofscience
A Feynman diagram is a picture of what happens when particles interact with each other. I in this video I explain what you need to know to understand Feynman diagrams, show you what all the particles in the standard model are, as well as which lines we use to represent them. And the general rules the fundamental particles follow as well as which particles take part in interactions via the fundamental forces.

Your nose uses quantum tunnelling to smell! This crazy conclusion comes from the latest interpretations of the evidence about how our smell receptors detect odour molecules. This video summarises the two models of smell: shape theory and vibration theory, and concludes that you need both to explain how we smell.

An introduction to the Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics. The first 500 people to sign up via my link will get two FREE months of Skillshare Premium: https://skl.sh/domainofscience
The interpretations of quantum physics are a collection of attempts of many physicists to try and make quantum physics make sense. The measurement problem and entanglement are notions that are confusing to us humans and people puzzle over questions like: Is the wave function real or just mathematics? What does a subatomic particle really look like? What is particle-wave duality really? That is where the interpretations of quantum physics come in. This is my attempt to cover the main ones.

Find out what it takes for a quantum computer to beat a classical computer to achieve quantum supremacy. Check out this video's sponsor https://brilliant.org/dos
Quantum supremacy’s that moment when a quantum computer beats the best supercomputers at solving some kind of problem, and it’s a very exciting time right now in quantum computing because, as of recording this video we’re on the brink of having quantum supremacy. In this video I quickly describe how quantum computing works, what quantum computers exist in the world today and what you need to do to prove quantum supremacy.
When I posted this video quantum supremacy hadn’t been reached, but people are predicting that it will happen soon.
Also the qubit numbers I posted for the different quantum computing efforts will go out of date quite quickly, so they won’t be valid if you are watching this in the future. Hello from April 2018!
And full disclosure - I used to work at D-Wave but I don’t have any favourites, I’m excited by progress on all fronts and believe they all deserve the same critical analysis.

This follows my journey to find and rank all of the biggest threats to humanity. Grab yourself the Map of Doom poster here: https://store.dftba.com/collec....tions/domain-of-scie
Link to Veritasium’s Asteroids video video: https://youtu.be/4Wrc4fHSCpw
This year was the first experience we’ve had of a global disaster affecting every single person on Earth. And also how unprepared society was to deal with it, despite plenty of people giving warnings that this was going to happen at some stage.
But in the midst of all the doom I started to wonder, what other things could threaten humanity, that we are not thinking about? So I made the Map of Doom to list all the threats to humanity in one place.
But just finding them all is not enough. I wanted to find a way of comparing the risks of all of these disaster scenarios. So this video follows my attempt at doing that, and I think I’ve hit on a great way to visually compare all these dangers, which I haven’t seen anyone do before, so hopefully by the end of the video you’ll have a better idea about what the biggest threats are, and how they compare to this pandemic.

I look at the galaxies that are moving away from us faster than light because of expanding space. Check out this video's sponsor https://brilliant.org/dos
Ninety seven percent of the galaxies in the observable universe are moving away from us faster than the speed of light. You might wonder how this can be true when one of the unbreakable laws of the universe is that nothing can travel faster than light. But this only applies to things moving through space and these distant galaxies are getting further away from us because the space between us is expanding. So the distance between us and them is increasing faster than light could travel across that space. This is also why the observable Universe is 45 billion light years across despite only being 13.8 billion years old.

I explain why it is called a square root, and also how a square root works.
#mathematics #DoS
Clarifications:
To keep this video simple I decided to not talk about complex numbers. But perhaps I should have mentioned complex numbers when talking about the square root of negative numbers.
When I said "you can never have a square root of a negative number", I guess I could have said "you can never have a square root of a negative number, unless you use complex numbers."
Cool, well I'm still learning! And thanks for keeping me in check. :D

I sometimes read things about quantum computing that are not quite right, I clear some up here. Check out this video's sponsor https://brilliant.org/dos
Quantum computing is a hot topic these days, but I sometimes see things in the media that I know are probably going to be misinterpreted by the people reading them. So this is my attempt to clear up some of the main misconceptions I see about quantum computing.
But if you are wondering what the state of quantum computing is right now. It is real and exists. The quantum computers of today have a few tens of qubits: as of making this video the highest number of qubits in the universal quantum computing scheme is 72 from Google, and in the quantum annealing scheme is about 2000 from D-Wave. But they work and solve real world problems. They haven’t quite exceeded classical computers, but they are very close, and there are going to be some interesting developments over the next year.

This is straight up a baking video, the best bread recipe I have come across for maximum flavour with minimum effort. I thought it could be helpful in the coming weeks and months at home. The full recipe is below!
I didn't want to do a video about the virus because I think it has been really well covered elsewhere. I hope you and your family are all hunkered down and doing well. Wishing you all the best, and I'll be back to my normal science videos next week.
----- Ingredients -----
- 3 cups (400g) of unbleached all purpose flour
(or 2 cups all purpose flour and 1 cup wholewheat flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of table salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) mild lager
----- Instructions -----
- Mix dry ingredients, then add everything else and fold together. Let sit for 8 to 18 hours at room temp in sealed bowl.
- Knead dough 15 times, pull edges into middle to form a ball and flip seam side down.
- Line same bowl with oiled parchment paper, put dough on it and lid on for 2 hours.
- About 30 mins before baking, heat up a Dutch oven in oven to 500F (260C). Lightly flour top of bread and with sharp knife make two slits in the top.
- Carefully transfer dough to pot and reduce oven to 425F (220C) and bake covered for 30mins, then remove lid and bake for a few more minutes (5-10mins) until brown.

What do cosmologists mean when they say Big Bang? Perhaps not what we think. The Big Bang poster is available here: https://store.dftba.com/produc....ts/the-big-bang-post
There are many descriptions of the big bang out there that are wrong. Anything that says the universe exploded from an infinitely small, dense and hot point, known as a big bang singularity, are out of date, but I’ve seen this description in many places on the internet and diagrams. I’ve even been guilty of saying this too! But I’ve recently updated my understanding, so here is what cosmologists actually mean when they say big bang.

Everyone is talking about the black hole image, which is amazing! But I've been wondering where actually is the black hole? So here it is. It is inbetween the virgo and leo constellations. Although you can't see it (unless you have a planet sized radio telescope array), it is still nice to know where it is.

The Fascinating World of Fungi. Get yourself 20% off a Brilliant premium subscription here: https://brilliant.org/dos/
In this map of fungi we learn everything we can about fungi in about 20 minutes. They are hugely underappreciated as they are an entire kingdom of life, as rich as plants and animals, and we use them so much in our day to day lives beyond eating their mushrooms. They are really important for medicine (antibiotics, statins and many more) and nearly all plants on Earth rely on fungi to live. Amazing stuff. I learned so much making this video!

A simple and clear explanation of all the important features of quantum physics that you need to know. Check out this video's sponsor https://brilliant.org/dos
I have spent a lot of time thinking about how best to explain quantum physics and this is the result of all my hours of pondering, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I decided to just explain it as it actually is, rather than rely on analogies. The video explains the quantum wavefunction, particle-wave duality, the measurement problem, the double-slit experiment, superposition, entanglement, quantum tunnelling, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, and energy quantisation. Let me know if it was helpful! Cheers Dx

For a more detailed introduction to quantum physics: 'The Quantum Universe' by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw is good.
And a slightly more advanced but fantastic description of what we do and don't know about quantum physics is the excellent book 'Beyond Weird' by Philip Ball.

Astronomers have just spotted something the universe has never shown us before — a triple black hole smash-up. Imagine three cosmic giants, each powerful enough to swallow stars, colliding in a single, mind-bending event. In this video, we’ll break down how scientists detected it, what happens when black holes merge, and why this discovery could rewrite what we know about the universe. Stick around — this is space at its wildest, and it’s happening right now.

In San Francisco, a luxury skyscraper is slowly sinking and tilting yet people still live inside it. Engineers are racing to keep Millennium Tower safe, but the sight of a billion-dollar building sliding into the ground is nothing short of surreal. And that’s just one story. In this video, we explore other places where architecture and nature clash: artificial islands in Dubai that may sink back into the sea, New York literally collapsing under its own weight, a floating airport in Japan sliding into the ocean, ancient structures hiding secrets underground, and even futuristic underwater cities already being planned. From lost megastructures to vanishing metropolises, these are the world’s most unbelievable building mysteries.

In 1958, farmers digging for bat poop in a Chinese cave stumbled on something way stranger—a fossilized skull that would baffle scientists for decades. At first, experts thought it was a Neanderthal, but new micro-CT scans have revealed a twist: it doesn’t fit neatly into Neanderthals, Homo sapiens, or even Homo erectus. Instead, Maba 1 is a mash-up of features—part this, part that, and part “what on Earth is that?” The skull’s brain size is surprisingly modern, but its structure is just too weird to belong to any known species. Some researchers now think it might represent a completely unknown human lineage that lived in Asia 300,000 years ago. Join us as we uncover the mystery of Maba 1 and what it tells us about our strange, twisted evolutionary story.
