Can you win a game of quantum foosball using a giant electron instead of a ball? Explore how to use quantum mechanics to your advantage. After a long day working on the particle accelerator, you and your friends head to the arcade to unwind. The lights go out for a second, and when they come back, there before you gleams a foosball table. Always game, you insert your coins. And quantum foosball begins instead of a ball, you ll be playing with a giant electron. Matteo Fadel shows how to use quantum mechanics to your advantage

So the objectives of the game are these
Track the electrons by the flashes of light on the rods
Hit the electrons with just enough force to actually contact it and pass it to the next energy level and manipulate its direction
Hit the electrons precisely enough to reduce your opponents chances of interacting with it
Use the Quantum Zeno Manuever to hit it with the rods and not hit it with the rods at the same time.

What if this game really existed and was an Olympic sport, and one of the qualifications was having a PhD in physics while also having immense physical training. There could be a whole subgenre of science sports like these and it'd be historical! Plus the combo of science and sports isn't seen very often, this could be unique! Nasa and the Olympics could work together and gain more research!

I was expectim some kind of the usual Ted riddles here. I became increasingly confused, how this is all relevant to some riddle they might pose at the end, and then the Video just stopped. I guess this video is just in a superpowition of riddle and nor riddle

Ted ed: playing with electron which shows superposition.
Me: Assume my victory to remain in supperposition
Moral: It was always there but never found(i. e asymptomatic win)

Never knew they had some sport this genius out there.
Anyway, I can't win foosball even, so perhaps I should keep my distance from quantum foosball.

I thought this was one of their usual puzzles, so I waited for the question for 4 min
until I realized it wasn't a puzzle to begin with.

I would be freaking the heck out when I enter into an Arcade and they have hazmat suits & start talking to me about putting me into a void.

Not only has Ted Ed ramped up the riddle difficulty, but they're no longer showing the solutions at the end. This is hard mode.

These guys really just discovered a spontaneously appearing foosball table and their first thought was to play on it. Lol.

Well someone said football is played with the brain. Your feet are just tools for it.
And now I know why they said it.
