maybe the dump.
Uck!
[Cayman:] What?
[Genevieve giggles]
It's so disgusting that's all.
It's uh...
It's kinda fun.
[Things outside swish by]
It's like a...

[Laughing softly]
Cayman!
Hold on, stop the car!
What? Why?
The CRT!

The observer changes
the universe by observing it.
[Soft ethereal synth music]
The more precisely you
measure any one variable,
the less you know about
every other variable.
[Enigmatic synth music]
There is magic in this place.
[Soft ethereal

There are truths
without explanation,
[Soft ethereal

[Soft mysterious

Hi Emily.
Did you see my ant farm?
- No.
- Look!
[Soft mysterious synth music
and background chiming]
I don't see any ants.
It doesn't come with ants.
We bought it at Science
World and since they
can't sell you live ants
you have to order them
and they come in the mail.
Hm...
There are ants everywhere!
[Soft chiming
and birds chirping]
I just need to find the queen,
ant colonies can't
live without the queen.
Did you know that queens
can live for 30 years?
That's a long time
for an insect.
Did you know ants can carry
20 times their body weight?
Really?
Yeah.
[Surprised gasp]
[Soft chiming
and birds chirping]
Good luck Emily.
[Soft chiming
and birds chirping]
Bye Cayman.

[Synth beats music]
[Cayman:] Point of interest:
neutron interferometry.
[Synth beats music]
Take a neutron splitter,
you shoot a neutron at it:
it deflects it up, or down.
It's a quantum system,
it could go either way.
[Synth beats music]
Then you put particle
mirrors along both paths.
[Synth beats music]
Now the neutron gets deflected
whichever way it goes.
[Synth beats music]
And you put detectors
at both ends
so you can measure the results.
[Synth beats music]
You shoot a neutron,
it goes up or down
and it ends up at this
detector half the time
and this detector
the other half.
Or it should, right?
[Synth beats music]
When you run this test
for whatever reason,
one detector never hits,
[Enigmatic synth music]
the other detector
hits every time.
[Enigmatic synth music]
It should be 50/50.

Can you hear me?
[Genevieve:] Is anything broken?
Did you call them?
What?
Are you fucking listening to me?
You were in an explosion.
I'm fine.
Are you?
Yes, did you call them?
[Faint synth music]
No.

[Male narrator with Eastern
European accent:]There are
3 distinct types of physics
classical,
relativistic,
and quantum.
Each describes reality
on a different scale.
Quantum mechanics deals
with the smallest scale.
It says that quantum
systems are not definite
but probabilistic.
Take a photon,
a single
wave-particle
of light
traveling at the
speed of light.
Let's say we want to
measure its position.
Until we make
the measurement,
the photon does
not have a position
but a certain probability
of being in a number
of positions,
a wavefunction.
But as soon as we
make the measurement,
the wavefunction collapses
and we have a single
photon with a single
position in space-time.
It is the act of measurement
which solidifies the
possible into the actual.
There are many theories
as to why this occurs
but they are all
merely conjecture.
No one knows
why this happens.

My baby the scientist.
Oh,
come here.
-Hm hmm.
-Mm hmm, mmm hmm.
[Birds caw in the
background and kissing]
Explain it to me.
[Sigh]
Well
I couldn't get a reaction
from the thallium collision,
it wouldn't react.
I tried varying the
energy level of the protium.
I tried every velocity
the thing could spew out,
so I flipped it sideways,
I hit it straight on.
Okay.
And then in the collision,
among other things,
nine electrons and nine
positrons were formed and
they joined together.
[Birds caw in the
background]
Okay.
When one electron
and one positron
join together, it's
called parapositronium
and that's been done before,
they've made positronium
singlets in labs but
it's got a half-life
in picoseconds,
it's nothing!
It annihilates
itself immediately.
[Birds caw in the
background]
But in there,
nine electrons joined
with nine positrons
and that's never
been done before.
It's what we call a
Bose-Einstein condensate.
And it can't exist at
real temperatures but...
these were stable!
Matter and antimatter,
which annihilate each other,
which explode...
were stable for
almost a millisecond!
[Dogs bark and birds
chirp in the far background]
Why?
[Frustrated exhalation]
I have no idea.
[Birds caw in the
background]
So,
you turn it sideways,
then you push a button
and you create
a Bose-Einstein--
...Condensate
of nine positronium singlets
which were stable for
almost a millisecond, yeah.
[Birds chirp in the
far background]
My hero!
Fuck you.
[Laughter]
I'm proud of you baby!
[Laughter]
[Birds chirping and cawing]
[Mysterious synth
music begins pulsating]
[Mysterious synth music]
[Cayman:] Point of interest:
velocity of
quantum information.
[Enigmatic synth music]
Einstein's theories
placed a limit
on velocity within
the universe,
the speed of light.
[Enigmatic synth music]
According to Einstein,
nothing travels
faster than light.
But consider this:
the EPR paradox.
[Enigmatic synth music]
You take a photon
of ultraviolet radiation
and you pass it through
a potassium-niobate
down-conversion crystal,
[Enigmatic synth music]
the photon splits in two.
[Enigmatic synth music]
Then you measure
the spin of photon A
and you get a value.
Now you measure
the spin of photon B.
Automatically,
every time,
you get the opposite value.
[Enigmatic synth music]
You see they're connected,
[Enigmatic synth music]
they're entangled.
You change one,
you measure one,
and the other changes.
[Enigmatic synth music]
They remember
they used to be one.
[Enigmatic synth music]
What's really crazy though
is that this exchange
of information,
when photon A tells
photon B that it has changed,
takes place instantaneously.
No matter how
great the distance
quantum information
travels instantaneously
[Ethereal synth music]
faster than light.
[Ethereal synth
music fading out]
[Door closing and footsteps]
Cayman?
[Slow approaching footsteps]
[Silence]
I just came in to get a drink.
[Strong sigh]
Just come here.
[Silence]
[Footsteps approaching]
[Silence]
Are you gonna do it?
What?
Publish!
- Are you going to publish?
- What? No.
Why would I publish now?
Because you can.
Because you found the
Bose-Einstein positronium.
I need to understand
what happened.
I need an explanation. I...
Besides, it's not
what I'm looking for.
It's a clue,
it just points in the direction.
[Very faint synth music]
Aren't you tired of
living like this?
[Very faint tense synth
music begins rising]
I won't publish this.
What?
[Faint tense synth music]
Why?!
[Faint tense synth music]
Is this your ego?
[Faint tense synth music]
What is it?
[Mysterious synth

Cayman, you're not
even considering this.
[Cello dramatic notes]
We don't have any money.
You don't earn any money!

[High-pitched electronic chimes

[Darker mysterious
synth music]
[Cayman:]Einstein spent
decades on research that proved
the velocity limit
of the universe was
the speed of light.
Monuments of science:
general and special relativity.
[High-pitched
synth music]
He refused to believe
that quantum information
was any different,
[Mysterious synth music]
but empirical evidence
disagreed with his assumption,
so he invented a new theory.
[Soft high-pitched
piano and synth music]
He restored locality with the
local hidden variables theory.
He said there is
quantum information that
we don't know about,
that we cannot detect,
intrinsic to all things.
[Soft high-pitched piano notes
and mysterious synth music]
What we see as nonlocal
information transfer,
as instantaneous
information transfer,
is something else entirely.
[Soft high-pitched piano and
dark mysterious synth music]
The information
does not need to travel.
Photon A does not need
to tell photon B anything
[Mysterious synth music]
because everything
it needs to know
is already contained
within itself.

Cayman...
It's not broken,

Expanding the experiment
to test local hidden

Bell was able to define
an inequality present

Quantum Suicide:
a thought experiment conceived
of within the framework
of Zeh's Many-Minds
interpretation of
quantum mechanics,
wherein a gun is connected
to a quantum object
with a dual-state even
probability function,
an atom with a 50
percent chance of decay.
[Enigmatic electronic music]
For each run through
the experiment,
the atom decays or does not.
[Music and beeping]
If it decays,
[Gunshot]
the gun is triggered
and the experimenter dies.
[Single long beep]
If the atom does not decay
[Beeping]
the gun does not trigger
and the experimenter lives.
[Beeping]
From the reference
frame of the observer,
[Beeping]
the experimenter always dies,
it is simply a matter of time.

dismisses relationship
between events with

the theory is flawed.

New evidence.
[Enigmatic electronic
and synth music]
As early as 1989, the noted
mathematician Roger Penrose
posited that consciousness
is a quantum mechanical process.
Each neuron in the brain
is a quantum system,
thought is merely a series
of wavefunction collapses.
[Enigmatic electronic
and synth music]
Consciousness involves itself
in every quantum measurement,
the observer becomes
entangled to the system.
[Enigmatic electronic

You cannot separate
the experimenter from
the experiment.

[Low enigmatic electronic

[Low enigmatic electronic

I caused the explosion.
[Low enigmatic electronic
and synth music]
[Cayman:]New evidence:
[Enigmatic and ethereal
synth music]
Zeh's many-minds interpretation.
[Ethereal synth music]
Every possibility that
can occur does occur,
it is the observer that
causes wavefunction collapse,
the observer's reference frame
that determines his reality.
[Ethereal synth music]
My hypothesis:
MMI is true.
Course of action:
proof.
[Ethereal synth music]
Method:
[Ethereal synth music]
quantum suicide.
[Ethereal synth music]
[Loud warping, rewinding,
and ethereal synth music]
[Abrupt lowering to silence]
[Cayman:]Every possibility
that can occur does occur.
The neutron went
both directions
if interfered with itself.
[Ethereal music]
The explosion was caused
by interacting possibilities.
There wasn't one
matter-antimatter pair,
there were millions.
[Low explosion sound]
When the many
possibilities interact with
a conscious observer
they collapse into
one possibility.
It is consciousness that
chooses which possibility
becomes reality.
I'm the reason there
were different results.
Reality is observer-dependent,
different observers
see different realities.
The observer's
consciousness state
restricts the possibilities
they can observe.
[Synth music]
In quantum suicide
the experimenter's consciousness
state restricts the results
such that they cannot die.
[A gunshot and
enigmatic synth music]
This is not true of
any other observer.

I don't see any ants.
It doesn't come with ants.
We bought it at Science

Yeah.

[Cayman:] Point of interest:
neutron interferometry.
[Synth beats music]
Take a neutron splitter,
you shoot a neutron at it:
it deflects it up, or down.
It's a quantum system,
it could go either way.
[Synth beats music]
Then you put particle
mirrors along both paths.
[Synth beats music]
Now the neutron gets deflected
whichever way it goes.
[Synth beats music]
And you put detectors
at both ends
so you can measure the results.
[Synth beats music]
You shoot a neutron,
it goes up or down
and it ends up at this
detector half the time
and this detector
the other half.
Or it should, right?
[Synth beats music]
When you run this test
for whatever reason,
one detector never hits,
[Enigmatic synth music]
the other detector
hits every time.

[Male narrator with Eastern
European accent:]There are
3 distinct types of physics
classical,
relativistic,
and quantum.
Each describes reality
on a different scale.
Quantum mechanics deals
with the smallest scale.
It says that quantum
systems are not definite
but probabilistic.
Take a photon,
a single
wave-particle
of light
traveling at the
speed of light.
Let's say we want to
measure its position.
Until we make
the measurement,
the photon does
not have a position
but a certain probability
of being in a number
of positions,
a wavefunction.
But as soon as we
make the measurement,
the wavefunction collapses
and we have a single
photon with a single
position in space-time.
It is the act of measurement
which solidifies the
possible into the actual.
There are many theories
as to why this occurs
but they are all
merely conjecture.
No one knows
why this happens.

[Birds caw in the

Explain it to me.
[Sigh]
Well
I couldn't get a reaction
from the thallium collision,
it wouldn't react.
I tried varying the
energy level of the protium.
I tried every velocity
the thing could spew out,
so I flipped it sideways,
I hit it straight on.
Okay.
And then in the collision,
among other things,
nine electrons and nine
positrons were formed and
they joined together.
[Birds caw in the
background]
Okay.
When one electron
and one positron
join together, it's
called parapositronium
and that's been done before,
they've made positronium
singlets in labs but
it's got a half-life
in picoseconds,
it's nothing!
It annihilates
itself immediately.
[Birds caw in the
background]
But in there,
nine electrons joined
with nine positrons
and that's never
been done before.
It's what we call a
Bose-Einstein condensate.
And it can't exist at
real temperatures but...
these were stable!
Matter and antimatter,
which annihilate each other,
which explode...
were stable for
almost a millisecond!
[Dogs bark and birds

Why?
[Frustrated exhalation]
I have no idea.
[Birds caw in the

So,
you turn it sideways,
then you push a button
and you create
a Bose-Einstein--
...Condensate
of nine positronium singlets
which were stable for
almost a millisecond, yeah.

[Mysterious synth

[Mysterious synth music]
[Cayman:] Point of interest:
velocity of
quantum information.
[Enigmatic synth music]
Einstein's theories
placed a limit
on velocity within
the universe,
the speed of light.
[Enigmatic synth music]
According to Einstein,
nothing travels
faster than light.
But consider this:
the EPR paradox.
[Enigmatic synth music]
You take a photon
of ultraviolet radiation
and you pass it through
a potassium-niobate
down-conversion crystal,
[Enigmatic synth music]
the photon splits in two.
[Enigmatic synth music]
Then you measure
the spin of photon A
and you get a value.
Now you measure
the spin of photon B.
Automatically,
every time,
you get the opposite value.
[Enigmatic synth music]
You see they're connected,
[Enigmatic synth music]
they're entangled.
You change one,
you measure one,
and the other changes.
[Enigmatic synth music]
They remember
they used to be one.
[Enigmatic synth music]
What's really crazy though
is that this exchange
of information,
when photon A tells
photon B that it has changed,
takes place instantaneously.
No matter how
great the distance
quantum information
travels instantaneously
[Ethereal synth music]
faster than light.

Because you can.

Besides, it's not

Monuments of science:
general and special relativity.
[High-pitched
synth music]
He refused to believe
that quantum information
was any different,
[Mysterious synth music]
but empirical evidence
disagreed with his assumption,
so he invented a new theory.
[Soft high-pitched
piano and synth music]
He restored locality with the
local hidden variables theory.
He said there is
quantum information that
we don't know about,
that we cannot detect,
intrinsic to all things.
[Soft high-pitched piano notes

What we see as nonlocal
information transfer,
as instantaneous
information transfer,
is something else entirely.
[Soft high-pitched piano and

does not need to travel.

Quantum Suicide:
a thought experiment conceived
of within the framework
of Zeh's Many-Minds
interpretation of
quantum mechanics,
wherein a gun is connected
to a quantum object
with a dual-state even
probability function,
an atom with a 50
percent chance of decay.
[Enigmatic electronic music]
For each run through
the experiment,
the atom decays or does not.
[Music and beeping]
If it decays,
[Gunshot]
the gun is triggered
and the experimenter dies.
[Single long beep]
If the atom does not decay
[Beeping]
the gun does not trigger
and the experimenter lives.
[Beeping]
From the reference
frame of the observer,
[Beeping]
the experimenter always dies,
it is simply a matter of time.

Possible explanations:

shouldn't have happened.
Other possibilities:

Consistent histories theory,
dismisses relationship
between events with
inconsistent histories,
the theory is flawed.
Other possibilities:

fits the data,

New evidence.
[Enigmatic electronic
and synth music]
As early as 1989, the noted
mathematician Roger Penrose
posited that consciousness
is a quantum mechanical process.
Each neuron in the brain
is a quantum system,
thought is merely a series
of wavefunction collapses.
[Enigmatic electronic
and synth music]
Consciousness involves itself
in every quantum measurement,
the observer becomes
entangled to the system.
[Enigmatic electronic
and synth music]
You cannot separate
the experimenter from
the experiment.

[Low enigmatic electronic

I'm the independent variable.
[Low enigmatic electronic

I caused the explosion.
[Low enigmatic electronic
and synth music]
[Cayman:]New evidence:
[Enigmatic and ethereal
synth music]
Zeh's many-minds interpretation.
[Ethereal synth music]
Every possibility that
can occur does occur,
it is the observer that
causes wavefunction collapse,
the observer's reference frame
that determines his reality.
[Ethereal synth music]
My hypothesis:
MMI is true.
Course of action:
proof.
[Ethereal synth music]
Method:
[Ethereal synth music]
quantum suicide.
[Ethereal synth music]
[Loud warping, rewinding,
and ethereal synth music]
[Abrupt lowering to silence]
[Cayman:]Every possibility
that can occur does occur.
The neutron went
both directions
if interfered with itself.
[Ethereal music]
The explosion was caused
by interacting possibilities.
There wasn't one
matter-antimatter pair,
there were millions.
[Low explosion sound]
When the many
possibilities interact with
a conscious observer
they collapse into
one possibility.
It is consciousness that
chooses which possibility
becomes reality.
I'm the reason there
were different results.
Reality is observer-dependent,
different observers
see different realities.
The observer's
consciousness state
restricts the possibilities
they can observe.
[Synth music]
In quantum suicide
the experimenter's consciousness
state restricts the results
such that they cannot die.
[A gunshot and
enigmatic synth music]
This is not true of
any other observer.

quantum information,
[Low beeping electronic

it is the universe.
