An alternate title for this series is: “inspiring students at 5 levels ask amazing questions and offer incredible ideas, giving hope for our future.” Admittedly, a little long. Lol.

This was so interesting. My personal understanding was at about the high school level, but the college student and the grad student had great questions that made me understand a bit better. The expert level was mostly over my head, but I could grasp it a little because of the preceding explanations. This was great!

I’m constantly amazed at how kids find solutions with the limited information they have – “We could build an xray that was only made for balls!”

The teen was totally clueless and had no idea what he was talking about. She was struggling to come up with questions that didn’t make her look dumb.

This is not meant to be disrespectful — but what is the point of making machines to see through things? Literally how does it make the world better
TVAlien
August 23, 2022 at 7:23 am
I think you can go just down to microscopic levels and history to answer that. Just going down to microscopic level we had germ theory and its study. Going levels deeper allows the further study of our world, which can allow us to answer questions and ask new ones. New understanding can create innovations built upon those discoveries. Over time these can help heal people, build new things, and just help us plain understand the underlying mechanics and structures that make up the universe.
TLDR: Studying small things can help understand and make big things.

Well, then they wouldn’t be experts.
The shortest possible expert conversation (on any topic) could however look like this:
“Do you understand quantum sensing?”
“No.”
“I see: further research is needed to understand quantum sensing.”
“Yeah.”

This guy is such a great teacher. I’ve obviously never had him in a class, but the way he explains things, especially at different levels is really nice. He doesn’t assume people “should know things” he asks them the general
Question at the beginning to gauge their knowledge on the subject than just nails it. Idk I like him lol

Gotta love science. The more knowledgeabe the person you ask is, the more he doubts his answer and asks himself the same question you ask. “What is quantum sensing?” “That’s a billion dollar question!” lol.

At what scale does the Quantum level officially start? And when they mention they’re sensing, or looking at the atoms and electrons, with the sensor basically pushing to the limits of what is physically possible to measure are they disregarding quarks as another level below atoms or are quarks still hypothetical ‘entities’ within physics?
@halloweenfan158
April 23, 2023 at 2:38 pm
Quarks aren’t hypothetical but unlike protons, electrons and neutrons, quarks are impossible to see even using tools. Also quantum mechanics starts with atomic particles and ends with subatomic particles
@IntuitivelyCurious
January 9, 2024 at 9:04 pm
Quantum mechanics applies at all distance scales. But we have easier to understand models for large scale phenomenon but in principle they are all governed by quantum mechanics.

We do see them in everyday life, at least I do. When I put a water bottle in my deep freezer, if I remember to get it in time, it comes out supercooled. That’s between frozen and liquid I think..

Supercooled is when it’s still liquid, but at the temperature/pressure it would normally freeze.

A hidden meaning of quantum is its representation the bonding factors in science.

And would sensing be easily considered taken the time out to first understand a system before using it, the examination.
@rayjasmantas9609
September 9, 2023 at 7:24 am
And it is easy to note, the neutron split process was not natural to the atom, so this created friction for the explosion, which is the opposite to the fusion process of the atom’s natural of adjustment.
