    This thought experiment will help you understand quantum mechanics - Matteo Fadel

    Can you win a game of quantum foosball— using a giant electron instead of a ball? Explore how to use quantum mechanics to your advantage. --After a long day working on the particle accelerator, you and your friends head to the arcade to unwind. The lights go out for a second, and when they come back, there before you gleams a foosball table. Always game, you insert your coins. And quantum foosball begins— instead of a ball, you’ll be playing with a giant electron. Matteo Fadel shows how to use quantum mechanics to your advantage.Lesson by Matteo Fadel, directed by Artrake Studio.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-win-a-game-of-quantum-foosball-matteo-fadelDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-you-win-a-game-of-quantum-foosball-matteo-fadel#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.artrake.com/----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    Why does whacking your funny bone feel so dreadful? - Cella Wright

    Explore the complex anatomy of the elbow, and find out why hitting your funny bone causes such an odd and painful sensation.--It's something we've all experienced: the back of your elbow smacks against a hard surface and the impact sends a sensation so distinctly disquieting shooting down your arm that it takes several moments to regain composure. So, why does hitting this spot on your elbow— commonly known as the funny bone— feel so weird? Cella Wright explains one of the most complicated joints in the body.Lesson by Cella Wright, directed by Anton Bogaty.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-does-hitting-your-funny-bone-feel-so-horrible-cella-wrightDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-does-hitting-your-funny-bone-feel-so-horrible-cella-wright/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://antonbogaty.comMusic: https://www.campstudio.co----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    Why did people don powdered wigs? - Stephanie Honchell Smith

    Trace the rise and fall of the powdered wig fashion craze, from King Louis XIII to the French Revolution in the 18th century.--Wigs date at least as far back as ancient Egypt, where well-regarded hairdressers crafted them into intricate styles. And under certain ancient Roman dynasties, women’s wigs became particularly ornate. Yet it wasn’t until Louis XIII unveiled a magnificent mane in the 17th century that big wigs truly began booming. Stephanie Honchell Smith details the rise and fall of the bewigged fashion craze.Lesson by Stephanie Honchell Smith, directed by Patrick Smith.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-did-people-wear-powdered-wigs-stephanie-honchell-smithDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-did-people-wear-powdered-wigs-stephanie-honchell-smith/digdeeperAnimator's website: http://www.blendfilms.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

    What the oil industry hides from the public - Stephanie Honchell Smith

    Uncover the oil industry’s decades-long campaign to discredit climate change science regarding the danger of fossil fuels.--Throughout the 1980s, oil industry reps discussed the dangers of burning fossil fuels, acknowledging the risk their product posed to the future of humanity. However, instead of warning the public or pivoting towards renewable energy sources, they doubled down on oil — and launched a decades-long campaign to discredit climate change science. Stephanie Honchell Smith digs into Big Oil's tactics.Lesson by Stephanie Honchell Smith, directed by Sofia Pashaei.This video made possible in collaboration with Speed & ScaleLearn more about how TED-Ed partnerships work: https://bit.ly/TEDEdPartnerData and graph shown at 5:43 by Statista: https://www.statista.com/chart/11673/the-soaring-costs-of-climate-changeSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-the-oil-industry-doesn-t-want-you-to-know-stephanie-honchell-smithDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-the-oil-industry-doesn-t-want-you-to-know-stephanie-honchell-smith/digdeeperMusic: https://www.campstudio.co----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
