FAQs about PhysicsFM:How many episodes does PhysicsFM have?The podcast currently has 15 episodes available.
February 20, 2015PhysicsFM - Quantum Paradoxes 5 - Modular Variables - Randy Morrison and Jim RantschlerRandy and Jim discuss modular variables and how looking at an infinite number of slits in a diffraction grating can better elucidate the process of quantum interference than the two-slit experiment....more50minPlay
January 24, 2015PhysicsFM - Quantum Paradoxes 4 - Phases and Gauges - Randy Morrison and Jim RantschlerJim and Randy talk about two paradoxes that help describe the Aharonov-Bohm effect. This requires an excursion into the gauge invariance of the vector potential of electrodynamics -- and how that gauge has real effects in quantum theory, even though it did not in classical physics....more53minPlay
December 20, 2014PhysicsFM - Quantum Paradoxes 3 - Is Quantum Theory Complete? - Randy Morrison and Jim RantschlerRandy and Jim discuss the completeness of quantum theory via the EPR Paradox, Bell's Theorem, and the Aspect Experiment and they discuss the Block Universe and David Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics....more32minPlay
November 21, 2014PhysicsFM - Quantum Paradoxes 2 - How to Weigh a Quantum - Randy Morrison and Jim RantschlerJim and Randy discuss the meaning of consistency, black body radiation, the Compton effect, uncertainty relationships, single-slit diffraction, and the clock in a box paradox....more39minPlay
October 21, 2014PhysicsFM - Quantum Paradoxes 1 - The Uses of Paradox - Randy Morrison and Jim RantschlerRandy and Jim discuss paradoxes in general, some quantum effects, what paradoxes mean to physics, and the twin paradox....more42minPlay
