Can I get Feedback- is this explanation of QM valid?

[EliaGomez]

This is a video on Quantum Mechanics that aims to familiarize people with general interests in physics, with some of the main ideas in quantum mechanics.
can I get feedbacks on it, I don't have any subscribers at all, and I'd like feedbacks to know how the video could be evaluated.
So that's why I decided to share it here.

I want to know whether the way I discussed the topic made sense and whether it was interesting or not, Because I made my own research about it and there hasn't been an instructor along the way, so I wasn't only wondering whether people will understand me properly, I was also wondering whether I myself understand it to a good extent.?

Note; it's my very first time working with the technical part also I didn't have time to do much refinement(It's a competition and there is a deadline)
Also, the video had a maximum limit so I had to be brief at some points.

Don't know where the names come from, it is very confusing to reconcile Elia Gomez with May Ahmed.

 

The video is no worse than many elementary textbooks and only contains one real howler.

 

The probability is the square of the wavefunction, not the wavefunction itself.

 

I would recommend that you paid proper attention to the mike volume control as the volume varies from almost inaudible to too lound and back through the video.

Further you should reconsider the storyboard to allow better timing for the viewer to absorb statements.

I thought that this got across by saying that where there is a high value of Psi there was a high probability of finding the electron and vice versa .But I do agree I had to be exact.

And I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but I think it's bad lol

 

However, thank you for taking the time to give you feedback

Is a large negative value big or small? 1 > -1; you can't say they are the same, but if you are careless and don't note that the magnitude is what you're looking at, you will have problems.

 

That wave functions can be negative has certain implications elsewhere in physics. Adding wave functions (superpositions, interference) the distinction between symmetric and antisymmetric wave functions, etc.

Yeah I totally agree.

I don't know how I never noticed I actually didn't mention the wavefunction being squared or even that it's the "magnitude" I'm looking at, it's what I meant with high values, but "high values" alone is vague and thus incorrect.

probably because I was in a rush while making the video and I also wanted to be brief as possible to meet the 5-minutes condition ( of the competition).

 

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
