I don't miss a single pbs documentary. Whether it's American experience or secrets of the dead or Nova or front line. All of pbs is incredible. And people that don't know that, I feel sorry for them. PB S has been a part of my life since I was a little kid. And a truly is the best television on television

The experiment with the two Quasars was the most fascinating thing I have ever seen. Gives me chills and excitement about the quantum world.
@glennkrieger
It seems this documentary was released sometime in January 2023. But, it has to be at least 5 years old. The Q-bit count for the quantum computer used in this video is 72. However, the IBM Osprey, which is IBM's newest quantum computer, has a Q-bit count of 433 and was released in 2021. As knowledge doubles approximately every 12 hours, and is shrinking as we live each day, the updated PBS documentary on this subject would be even more mind blowing.
@njhoepner
The bold thinking it took to even imagine the final experiment, using quasars as filter switches...and the technological ability to then execute it. I am beyond impressed.
@forttottenrocks
I love the idea that at the tiniest level, particles can be so much the same that even vast distance cannot separate identity, to the point where an action upon one effects the other equally. And that this is scientifically plausible. It opens the imagination.
@thegrahammer
Thanks to Gordon & Betty Moore and John Templeton Foundations for their major financial support for NOVA. I can't wait to show this to my kids. Absolutely fascinating watch.
@jodalinkus5538
Fascinating to witness phenomenal work done by physicists to actually minimize spatial concepts onto a computer screen for a pellucid of a nebula dynamic.

Incredible science! My head hurts, but it's worth it.
@guaromiami
Quantum mechanics is a theory that is extremely accurate at predicting what happens without offering any explanation whatsoever as to how or why it happens.
@jsnavely76
I agree with Einstein that we don't know everything about Quantum Theory yet that makes the illogical effects of quantum entanglement make sense when we eventually figure out how it works.
@kathyyoung1774
Einstein once said, “I don’t want to BE right. I just want to know if I AM right.”
@TheLochs
I LOVE science and quantum physics just blows my mind. I wish I had advanced mathematical understanding to really appreciate it.
@kanay_norie
I didn’t understand Physics in high school, but all these talks about quantum entanglement makes me want to learn Physics at home🤔
@Delta9SFBay11
One thing folks don't know is 3.6 million views means 3,600,000 people are now Quantum Entangled just by watching this vid.....Ponder that for awhile.....

FINALLY! I do not have the education or experience or training to make formal sense of all this. But even at the lay level I have followed this conversation for some time and intuitively suggested that the issue with our struggle to understand the puzzling aspects of quantum mechanics in general, and quantum entanglement specifically, is that we are failing to properly understand the concept of space. In keeping with brilliant minds of our past, we hold an inherent bias in favor of ourselves. Where we once thought that the entire universe revolves around us, even in modern times our egos insist that space must be as we experience it. Even Einstein extending this to the concept of space/time did not completely knock us of our own pedestal. For some time I have been asking sillier versions of the contemporary thinking presented here in this documentary, such as 'Why can't entangled particles simply be adhering to an adjacent position through unobservable dimensions they create for themselves once they are observed?'...or...'Maybe space is actually so tightly folded that all particles in our universe remain adjacent via other dimensions?'...or...'Perhaps we are seeing the influence of companion particles in parallel universes placed upon the observed particles in our universe, wherein the companions in that parallel universe remain adjacent?' I began asking myself these questions when I was introduced to the double-slit experiment long ago. And as I ask myself these questions (and I have asked some of these of scientists as well but never received a reply, for which I blame them not one iota), I wonder if we are seeing quantum math and theories and predictions and experiments and confirmation all as an example of mathematical parlor tricks that reveal how this all works in our experience of space, yet have still failed to divine some more elegant and underlying truth to reality? Maybe Einstein was correct about the spookiness of all this quantum stuff, and yet he was wrong all along about space itself? In contrast, quantum physicists could be wrong in what the maths are revealing to them, but they are about to end up 100% correct about space itself and will have newer and far more effective equations? And it is because this has been where my shallow understanding has been stuck for so many years, that this documentary was found to be so utterly fascinating. For that, I thank you.

I love physics and astronomy. If I had had the mind for the math it is the profession I would have chosen. Although I do not comprehend it in any way like the physicists who founded quantum mechanics or those who performed this experiment, I do have a tremendous admiration for what they have done here. IMHO I believe this proves that there is clearly more to reality than what meets the eye. Perhaps we are just now beginning to get a glimpse into the universe beyond our own. Perhaps not other universes exactly, but other realities.
@bhaz4012
I can't help but imagine what it would be like to go back in time and show Einstein this video.
@vidanacl6489
10:40 I am no expert in Physics, but this seems like a photo full of legends.
@jorgehidalgo4792
Incredible program, NOVA is the best, and in simple language that people with no inclination to science can understand. I was the only person watching the programs, now all of them talk about it the next day. I am also in love with the music theme.
