Is the entire history of the universe perfectly knowable? Or has information somehow lost along the way? • You can further support us on Patreon at / pbsspacetime • Get your own Space Time t-shirt at http://bit.ly/1QlzoBi • Tweet at us! @pbsspacetime • Facebook: facebook.com/pbsspacetime • Email us! pbsspacetime [at] gmail [dot] com • Comment on Reddit: / pbsspacetime • Help translate our videos! • / timedtext_cs_. . • Previous Episode: • Noether's Theorem and The Symmetries of Reality • • Noether's Theorem and The Symmetries ... • The laws of physics are equations of motion. They are mathematical rules that dictate how systems evolve in time. Newton’s equations for classical mechanics, Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetism, and the Schrodinger equation for quantum mechanics. These laws can be used to predict how the universe will evolve into the future. They are deterministic; perfect knowledge of a system in the present perfectly predicts how the system will change in the next instant, and the instant after that, ad infinitum. But determinism in the forward-time direction does NOT guarantee that the same laws can perfectly predict the past. And yet this sort of deterministic symmetry - time-reversal symmetry - is essential for information itself to be conserved. Today we learn why conservation of information is such a fundamental requirement of quantum mechanics. In a future episode we’ll see how this law might be broken by black holes. • Here's that fun proof that independent quantum states can't evolve into the same quantum state while preserving unitarity! Apologies for the unavoidable technical notation, but a quick college course in introductory quantum mechanics will get you up to speed in no time :-P • http://bit.ly/2Lpm6sL • Hosted by Matt O'Dowd • Written by Graeme Gossel and Matt O'Dowd • Graphics by Grayson Blackmon • Assistant Editing and Sound Design by Mike Petrow and Linda Huang • Made by Kornhaber Brown (www.kornhaberbrown.com) • Special thanks to our Patreon Big Bang, Quasar and Hypernova Supporters: • Big Bang • CoolAsCats • David Nicklas • Anton Lifshits • Joey Redner • Fabrice Eap • Quasar • Tambe Barsbay • Mayank M.
