Thank you for sharing these links. I've bookmarked the second one and watched through the first. My first thought is the first link has left me with more questions than answers, but I suppose that might just be the nature of QM.

I think it was Richard Feynman that once wrote: "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics" If it wasn't him, then he certainly said something akin to that (there's a number of similar remarks made by a number of different physicists)

I think the first link is more a pop science show than real depth...this is a much better series from feynmen(unfortunately its really long): 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLQ2atfqk2c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLQ2atfqk2c 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMSgE62S6oo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMSgE62S6oo 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNNXD7fuE5E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNNXD7fuE5E 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UigjOJm6F9o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UigjOJm6F9o

  Fantastic. Feynman is the most amazing scientist possible - enlightening and (seemingly) approachable, yet still a genius. I can only hope that there will be more like him in the future.

  Wow, what a find! These are well worth sitting through, but if you don't want to invest four hours, the content of these videos is in Feynman's book "QED". But if you're ever going to spend four hours watching QM lectures, make it these.

  (unfortunately its really long) NOT "unfortunately". Thanks for the links. I have the entire Feynman Lectures on Physics series but have never actually heard his voice.

Not entirely. QM is puzzling, but not as bad as most popularizations lead you to believe. That's why I added the second link. Here's a paper that the second link is based on in case you don't want to sit through the video: http://www.flownet.com/ron/QM.pdf http://www.flownet.com/ron/QM.pdf
