Seen them both ... Part 2 looks at examples of QM processes in the natural world. Like how QM tunneling is taking place in photosynthesis and is essential for helping the photon find the 'reaction center' in the most efficient manner, this is the area of the cell responsible for turning the suns energy into carbohydrates . It was OK.Yup... definitely worth watching. It's only up for 6 more days though. I imagine it'll be on YT soon enough.
The part about John Bell and the "hippie physicists" was particularly fascinating.
Who said dope and LSD hinders progress?
The first real QM experiments came from them!
It looks like part II is going to discuss "tunnelling" and some strange topic regarding evolution.
I'm not sure how QM fits in with the latter, but I'll be watching.
I haven't watched Part II , yet. I suppose I missed the BBC4 window, too.
Would you like me to explain the difference between probability and the 'expectation' or 'expected' value of an event as it relates to statistical mathematics and why you cannot use the terms interchangeably?
No man, I was just prodding you a bit. Like I said in another post, I'm a wannabe-mathematician-turned-software-engineer. My BS is in math, but by the time I graduated I realized that I didn't have the talent to make a real difference in the field of mathematics. And computers were so fascinating, I got my grad degree in computer science. But I remember the days of studying prime numbers and how fascinated I was with them.
I'll read up on this pilot-wave theory. Why not?

I just searched the Uni database for PWT and guess what one of the first papers was.
