Heisenberg, Bohr, and the Rise of Copenhagen | Video essay based on Chapter 2 of "What Is Real?" by Adam Becker | This is my second video in the series, and I’m continuing to refine the format. I’d love additional feedback!
Here is the link to the post from the first video. (tldr: this series is based on "What Is Real?" by Adam Becker).
This video only covers chapter 2 of the book. I initially thought I would cover chapters 2-4 but I realized there's enough interesting detail in this chapter to cover. I didn't want to rush it. Please let me know if this level of detail is not interesting and if I should speed up the pace or make it more high level to get through more material at a faster pace.
I'm still very new to creating content and still need to improve a lot to get to a place I'm happy with. I improved my camera and lighting quality and tried to improve my editing. I still want to work on storytelling and how best to convey the information. Would love to hear any feedback about major things you liked or didn't like. I'm still trying to figure out what style I want to use for video essays like these.
Also, I restructured the series such that each video can be a standalone watch where viewers can learn something even if you they didn't watch the prior videos in the series.
Thank you for letting my share this passion project with you and happy to hear any feedback about anything you might have liked or not liked!
I wanted to share a passion project I’ve been working on. I just published my first "video essay", and it’s the start of a series based on "What Is Real?" by Adam Becker. I apologize in advance if this type of post is not allowed.
If you haven't read it or heard of it, this book is a history of the debate over the interpretation of quantum mechanics. It follows the conflict between the dominant Copenhagen Interpretation and physicists like Einstein, Schrödinger, Bohm, Bell, and Everett who challenged it, while exploring how philosophy, personality, and scientific culture shaped modern physics.
My video is about 9 minutes and covers the beginning of the book.
I’m completely new to making videos like this, so this has been a learning process. I'm really passionate about this subject and feel like more students of physics and science or anyone who has interest in science and/or philosophy should know about.
I'd appreciate any feedback including your thoughts if this video series is even worthwhile in your opinion.
