Part 2 in our quantum reality series is out now: youtu.be/-_8apfiiTR4. I talk to Simon Saunders, Antony Valentini & Angelo Bassi to explore 3 interpretations of QM – many worlds, pilot wave & objective collapse. Here’s a clip where I try to explain decoherence.

🧪 Thanks to everyone who’s already subscribed to my new YouTube channel, Unbaffled. Nice to see that the first three films have already been watched by half a million people around the world. Lots more to come.
Just released another new film on our new YouTube channel: youtu.be/sivQ-jbZ2oM. It’s the first in a 3-parter on quantum mechanics. In this first one I look at the early observations that shook our understanding of physics.
My new YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@UnbaffledSc...) seems to be going very well so far, after its first week. But a typo was found in an equation😱 so I had to post this short apology. I mean, the shame.. youtube.com/shorts/545DH...

My second YouTube video is out now! In this one I'm looking inwards in an attempt to unbaffle my own brain. I talk to @ForresterGilly and Mike Gazzaniga about the two hemispheres of the brain, and how brain asymmetry evolved. Watch here: youtu.be/ybuhqtDVO_A
We've just launched a brand new short film starring our President Janet Ellis! #AllWeHaveIsEachother explores making sense of the world through reason and evidence, finding meaning in this one life, and living with kindness and compassion. Watch it today! humanists.uk/janetellisfi...
All we have is each other | film with Janet Ellis, Humanists UK President

Time travel to the future is possible if we slow time down. This is called time dilation and it's a real thing. Matthew McConaughey does it in Interstellar. I discuss the trickier time travel to the past on my new YouTube channel. See: youtu.be/c63XUCGg9hM
My new YouTube channel, "Unbaffled", is here. It's where I'll be exploring the biggest ideas in science. Our founding principle is that science doesn’t have to be baffling. The first video (on time travel) is here: youtu.be/c63XUCGg9hM Do subscribe, like, etc
Also, please forgive the odd typo in the first film. Call it teething trouble.

My first YouTube video is out now on my new channel, Unbaffled! We unpack some endlessly debated ideas about the possibility of time travel, including well-known paradoxes and some new research. Watch here: youtu.be/c63XUCGg9hM
The clock is ticking down to the release of our first film 🕰️ Have you guessed the topic yet? Subscribe to Unbaffled on YouTube to watch it tomorrow from 2pm www.youtube.com/@UnbaffledSc...
Is the flow of time an illusion? How were quarks discovered? How do the left and right brains differ? I'll be exploring questions like these on my new YouTube channel (@UnbaffledScience). The first video comes out this Friday, make sure you subscribe here: youtube.com/@UnbaffledScie…
Two days to go till launch of my new YouTube channel @UnbaffledScience. So here's a baffling teaser: place your bets on what the first film is all about. It comes out on Friday, so make sure you subscribe here: www.youtube.com/@UnbaffledSc...
Ever felt baffled when you’ve tried to wrap your head around a big scientific idea? Well, I’m here to help with a new YouTube channel. Subscribe here: www.youtube.com/@UnbaffledSc.... First video coming this Friday!

AI and the second quantum revolution are reshaping our world — faster than we can predict. Jim Al-Khalili on why the real risk isn’t machines, but how humans use them. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #AI
Beyond the double-slit experiment, the real mystery may be quantum entanglement. Jim Al-Khalili on why particles can behave as if instantly connected across space. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #entanglement
If the brain is a physical system, why couldn’t a machine be conscious too? Jim Al-Khalili on AI, complexity, and consciousness. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #AI #consciousness
Science is built on doubt — not certainty. Jim Al-Khalili on why admitting mistakes is essential to progress, in science and in life. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #AI
Jim Al-Khalili on consciousness as an emergent property, the multiverse beyond our observable universe, and why entanglement and decoherence matter for understanding measurement itself. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #quotes
Some birds may navigate using a quantum compass in their eyes. Jim Al-Khalili explains how light, magnetoreception, and entangled electrons could guide migration. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #quantumbiology
Jim Al-Khalili explains why quantum biology isn’t mysticism — but also doesn’t claim that quantum mechanics explains life itself. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #quantumbiology
Next on Dark Matter, Bright Minds: Jim Al-Khalili — theoretical physicist and science communicator. A conversation on time, quantum mechanics, AI, consciousness, and scientific uncertainty. Episode coming soon. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #podcast
Are we just the cosmic lottery winners? Jim Al-Khalili explains the anthropic principle — and why fine-tuning may not be a miracle at all. @jimalkhalili.bsky.social #jimalkhalili #physics #darkmatterbrightminds #podcast
