Doing it constantly,
each and every time you look.

:24:04
When you ain't lookin',
it's like a wave.

:24:06
When you are lookin',
it's like a particle.

:24:08
When you are not looking,
there are waves of possibility.

:24:11
- [ Ball Bouncing ]
- When you are looking, there
are particles of experience.

:24:14
[ Man ] Aparticle,
which we think of as a solid thing...

:24:17
really exists in
a so-called ''superposition, ''

:24:20
a spread-out wave
of possible locations...

:24:24
and it's in all of those
at once.

:24:26
The instance you check on it...
:24:28
it snaps intojust one
of those possible positions.

:24:32
[ Man ]
Quantum superposition implies that...

:24:34
a particle can be in two or more places
or states simultaneously.

:24:39
And this is a very bizarre concept, and one
of the hallmarks of the quantum world.

:24:45
Superheroes use superposition...
:24:47
with the world being potential strips
of reality until we choose.

:24:51
Heroes choose what they want--
:24:54
being in many places at once, experiencing
many possibilities all at once...

:24:58
and then collapsing on the one.
:25:03
The question is, how far down
the rabbit hole do you wanna go?

:25:46
Nice shot.
:25:49
[ Man ] How can a system or an object be
in two or more states at the same time?

:25:49
[ Man ] How can a system or an object be
in two or more states at the same time?

:25:53
[ Man ] It's very easy--
Instead of thinking of things as things.

:25:57
We all have a habit of thinking that
everything around us is already a thing...
