The Discovery of the Electron (2 of 15)

[AllAboutMac27]

THAT HELPED SO MUCH! THANKS!

[platano214]

is it theoretically possible for an electron to have Subelectronic particles orbiting it?

[anryoku1]

so there was a purpose of going to the cafe

[aFluffyMongoose]

wesley is pugnacious

[aFluffyMongoose]

i enjoy delectable and exotic dishes

[naruto2710]

the brits are the best. we discovered virtually everything

[AngeloNiklis]

@naruto2710

Except sodomy, Canada discovered that at the Lumberjacks Convention of 1894.

[younoob46]

@naruto2710 did you discover FRIED CHICKEN or CHUCK NORRIS don't think so

[naruto2710]

@younoob46 well, we discovered the country in which those things were discovered. so technically... yes!

[michellybaby]

comparing an atom to a muffin... nice :)))

[mshesse1]

Wow, this videos are great... yeah, youtube should promote them and there should be chanals with several translations... I'm an Austrian and I haven't learnd most of the words you need in physics yet, because I'm only 15 years old...

[mattysimsoficial]

it would also be nice if you guys named them by the correct title! ;)

[perjanan]

where the fuck are there the electrons??

[kayakbruce1]

@perjanan in the same universe you inhabit

[myvinsen1234]

hey wait, Thomson did not know the mass of the electron, he knew the mass - charge ratio. It was millikan's oil drop experiment which discovered the mass of the electron

[drmshake]

Dr. Cox is one of my life-heroes!

[niharikagurnani]

i have watched this own video of jj thomson first on this site,,,thanks a lot youtube,,,hope to get these types of videos,,,like of e.goldstein,rutherford,,neils bohr

[MetalSwitch95]

TheJack0Phantom Lol. I hate it when stereotypes are perpetuated. Tbh, you very rarely get a guy on English tv with tea and muffins lol. But this guys pretty posh. Not all British people are like this

[chaosarcee]

may i have some tea and a muffin mate?lol

[Abelhawk]

I laughed when he said "A new piece of kit" 0:25

[drunkengal]

what a fun ass video yo :D

[musicmakerchick19]

Muuuffin!

[TheJack0Phantom]

2:20 TEA AND MUFFINS steryotypical british

[xpsniperguy123]

Dude you are awesome! :D

[DinnerInATube]

dem cathode rays.

[Films4You]

CRT

[Films4You]

@Films4You CRT a Cathode Ray Tube

[danahako]

this video series are amazing!!

[arcturian627]

I was always fascinated by how they discovered the electrons and how they deduced the structure of the atom. These guys are sheer genius.

[mrelectron111]

TO ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE READING THIS : DOSE THE ELECTRICITY OF BRAIN CAN BE HACKED VIA SOME TECHNOLOGY? Can ANY Microwaves or ELF Waves Manipulate the Electricity of the brain?

I hope for Answers!

[chaelot]

You Sir, mrelectron111, rock! That is all :)

[fidely]

the answer is "Yes" You need to ask the right questions. 1st Find out what electricity is made of and its uses. Microwaves can carry frequences... I know I missed spelled the word, but that the least important on the subject

[richieXDD]

idk i would think if it has waves you could find a freqency and control it by certain rythme or flow of electricity current , but im only 14 lol , sounds interesting

[Adrenalx42]

microwaves are photons, which dont have charge and dont interact with electricity

[CuppaS00p]

The brain uses neurons.

[vishal94313]

good

[morrkate007]

This is really helping me out for my Chemistry time line project on the atom. (:

[mikebe41]

ok can anyone answer this question for me, since I am not a typical science know it al. How can they just shoot electrons only thru any experiment, when I thought electrons are part of the atom, and atoms can not be torn apart into seperate particles? Do we have the technology now to suck away just the electrons from the atom and shoot them thru a beam like this experiment is suggesting.

[D0g63rt]

Electrons orbit the atom, and can be shot out of orbit by something as simple as light (photons, the photoelectric effect). We have technology incredible enough to create anti matter in laboratories, controlling the flow of electrons isn't very hard.

[Atlantis284]

what do you think a hadron collider is you moron?

[NewColdness]

True, true. Also, a couple of universities are putting entire lectures on YouTube. Hooray internet!

[hometown555]

Is there other people like this guy who talk about intresting things? I enjoy learning about stuff. lol

[NewColdness]

Check out zuke696's channel. Brian Cox is all up ins, as is Michio Kaku, Carl Sagan, and even William Shatner.

[happyidiottalk]

Good for you. If you want something that will really get the juices flowing, try a search for ''A Universe From Nothing' by Lawrence Krauss, AAI 2009'. Its an hours worth of lecture, but utterly utterley fascinating. If you like this, you will love Lawrence's talk. Let me know if you watch it, it gave me a real buzz!

[sharpezor]

why the HELL are these 3 mins long?

[happyidiottalk]

I agree, it wasn't the best idea was it. I suspect they carved it up to increase the viewing figures, given that they would have 15 titles instead of 1 for people to search for.

[ricardaomala2000]

Brian Cox tutorials are awesome!

[SoraTakenouchi16]

these videos are awesome.:)

[theultimateperson]

hahahah! Random

[XanaXaquilinaX]

Your the typical teenager: it sounds interesting but, since it's something i HAVE to learn (and probably because your friends think it's stupid), you just simply come here to critic - if it can be classified as such... - and make a complete fool of yourself.

Grow up, darling.

[racastilho]

Actually, with this experiment, Thompson was able to determine the charge/mass ratio of the electron. Later, Millikan measured the electron charge with his oil dropplets experiment, and therefore the mass of the electron was determined. At least, that's what I learned. Great video anyways :)

[Saira93]

lol Same ~

[RJL738]

It is VERY likely that electrons are made of a complex orangment of smaller particles and those particles are made of smaller ones and so on and so on for at least several levels.

[inuyasha91133]

It would be really nice if youtube promotes such educational videos.thank you

[belucaniche]

Thank you soooooooo much!! it helped me a loooot in the understanding of the experience Thompson did! Thank you so much!
