good day did reduce smart person my name's dylan i'm a physicist from the land down under
grab a coffee grab a chair grab a vegemite sandwich look grab whatever you want and let's
talk some physics so i keep getting some comments along the lines of dylan you think you're so smart
you don't even wear your glasses right they're referring to this you know not sitting over my
ear probably and that's simply because this bit isn't long enough i can't push that down
my head's a little bit big and hats and glasses don't really ever fit um funny story but my head
is actually like 4.5 standard deviations larger than the average male head which is like 99.999
percent larger than the normal human head anyway big head gang let's watch some rick and morty
smidgens for broken defraction that is multi-phase quantum resonator well does it defragulate no then
then it's a broken defrag like you would even know about fractulation so quantum resonator that
is kind of like a real thing um they're not exactly called that
but we definitely have resonators that uh take advantage of some quantum effects um
and they're specifically being used for many things but for especially quantum computing so i
have a friend who's actually involved in uh doing some research for some quantum computing stuff
and he's looking at coupling magnons to a resonator a microwave resonator and to sort
of explain what all this means is very hard to do but magnons are like these virtual particles um
that well it would it just take too long to explain this would probably take 10 minutes
but it involves the spin of particles changing and it creates this spin wave effect phenomenon
and the spin wave can be thought of as like a magnum uh as like a particle moving through
a material um and you can couple this wave phenomenon to a resonator to this resonator you
put electromagnetic radiation into it in the form of microwaves um and you couple this magnon to
the stand you know to a microwave and that's what a resonator does it amplifies the radiation
by coupling waves essentially and this could be eventually used for quantum computing actually
has to do with the transmission of quantum information but anyway i won't explain that too
much further because it gets very complicated very quickly and i'd have to explain many terms along
the path of trying to explain that but just know that these quantum resonators
are kind of real things um and we're trying to use them to get quantum computing to work yeah dad why
don't we do it together yes you back the right horse on this one son we'll get out the crayons
brew some coffee and knock this thing out in two or three days what is my purpose pass the butter
thank you oh dad i need a ride to work maybe rick can give you a ride
i'm helping morty with science i'm busy doing what uh anything else
what is my purpose you pass butter oh my god yeah welcome to the club
that's amazing yeah you can relate to that little robot so what do you guys think the purpose of
life is um i think that's one of the reasons everybody gets into physics uh or math well not
actually not so much math um a lot of people go into math just because they like puzzles
and [ __ ] but uh a lot of the a lot of the time people get into things like physics because it
gets some of the really deep questions um so yeah what do you guys think the purpose of life is
uh what's the meaning of life me personally as well i don't think there is any obvious purpose
to this place as far as i can tell um it seems pretty null of purpose and trying to find one
by looking or studying the laws of physics seems like a good place to look doesn't it but
it's a bit of an exercise in futility and i think carl sagan put it best when he said we're the
custodians of life's meaning and if you crave some cosmic purpose then let us find ourselves a worthy
goal and to me a worthy goal was learning as much as possible about this astonishing universe in my
brief moment in the sun i remember the first time i saw her i thought i should get her pregnant and
then she'll have to marry me i beg your pardon rick inappropriate sorry please proceed with your
story about banging my daughter in high school i'm not sure you want to take romantic advice
from this guy morty his marriage is hanging from a thread my marriage is fine thank you jerry it's
your house whatever you say it is is how it is but i think a blind man could see that beth is
looking for the door i barely have a reason to care and even i noticed come on rick don't talk
about my parents like that listen morty i hate to break it to you but what people call love is just
a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed it hits hard morty then it slowly fades leaving
you stranded in a failing marriage i did it your parents are gonna do it break the cycle morty rise
above focus on science yeah i hate to break it to you but if you haven't realized that that's
pretty much the truth put pretty harshly to a teenager but uh yeah it's pretty clear that
this thing we think of love is really just something that has a well everything on the body
and everything in your mind it has an evolutionary purpose it's pretty clear why something like love
would develop it just exactly like rick said it compels us to breathe but we are all human
and we're subject to the human condition so if you want to lead a happy life i'd highly suggest
not taking rick's advice and focusing on science as i wanted to do when i was a teenager
it's kind of to get the point across i'll use the words of carl sagan again
um for small creatures such as we the vastness is only bearable through love and yeah that's
couldn't be closer to the truth to be honest you know if you're a curious person and you look into
the deep mysteries of the universe it's pretty hard to find any real purpose all
seems like a big old accident and you know if you want to be able to be happy
you have to take advantage of the human condition and that means enjoying the things
enjoying things like love you know because it will make you feel happy so yeah embrace your
humanity and take advantage of things like love definitely don't focus on science when i was
doing my physics undergrad i was the exact same i was like no girls i'm going to focus on science
and i didn't i really got out but then i met my current girlfriend and yeah that all changed
i haven't mentioned her on this channel before but yeah i do have a girlfriend
and i might even get her in some videos at some point she's a medical student so maybe we can
get her in on some episodes where there's uh i don't know some medical stuff so yeah it may
be true that love is just this thing that is developed through evolutionary biology
and natural selection but it doesn't mean it's not true that you won't be happier if you
exploit you know this thing that you're capable of experiencing so yeah don't ignore your um
don't ignore the human condition embrace all of it and that means you know experiencing love
and being social because if you go against all these things um yeah you might run into
some psychological problems i told you i want to file a declaration that pluto is a planet
well then my son's going to fail a science class and when that happens i'm suing you first
oh i think i know what the a in nasa stands for dad what's your end game ain't no game
sucka why don't we just make the solar system with eight planets it's even easier sure sure and why
don't we just burn galileo at the stake for saying the sun is round science isn't always easy morty
they did burn someone along the i think his name was giordano bruno around the same time for
uh suggesting that the sun uh the earth orbited the sun which was put forth by
copernicus this bruno guy just suggested that it was truth and they burned him at stake
during routine surveillance of your world you really gave it to those guys at nasa i was you
know sometimes science is about conviction i'd like to introduce you to a few people that very
much agree with you oh i plutonians jerry smith is a scientist from earth where he's
creating a model of our solar system jerry tell pluto about your decision um pluto's a planet
it's a dwarf planet but um if there were any plutonians we've recently
discovered that pluto's atmosphere is actually collapsing it's it's got this thin atmosphere
um and some recent studies have shown that it looks like it's collapsing so
hope uh plutoniums have you know some contingency plans
