  • This quantum movement really makes me think that we probably misunderstood what is motion. We don't actually move. We just jump from one location to another. o_O - Now I don't mean our whole bodies. Just the particles. For example look real close at the tv screen and see something moving - is it? Or is it that the pixels just light up in unison, and then at a distance it appears to. The same motion happens at stadiums when people wail their arms up and down. Isn't that just like....a wave? :)

  • All you white boys dont know shit about QM.

  • just look at our solar system and divide the very big to the very small , why do we all go aruond the sun but not like they say in a unespecified momentum, wait till all scientist come up 100 years later on sayin " oh yeah they were yet faster than light we just couldnt se them, so we built this awemose computer calculated all in a nonelinear way and messuring at a quantum level watch and "voila" it was there all the time right infront of our nose, galaxies are like matter and gass wich forms?"

  • How is it that hydrogen, with one electron only, can have multipe energy levels if you're supposed to have at least 2 electrons before jumping up to the next energy level?

  • @xxxxblackxsheepxxxx The energy levels or shells and sub-shells in each kind of atom are there whether they are filled with electrons or not. As the electron in hydrogen gains or loses energy it moves from level to level.

  • @cassiopeiaproject - at about 1:10 you state that if the electron were stationary it would "fall" into the nucleous. How could this happen if there are predetermined energy levels and the electron can only exist in and transit between? Also, if the location of an electron at any one time is actually only a probability distribution, is there not some probability that the electron is in the nucleous at some point? I am thinking of quantum tunneling phenomenon in relation to electron position. thnx

  • @PDopey This section of our video is describing classical thought about the structure of atoms. Later on the video explains how quantum mechanics solved the mystery of atomic structure. And, yes, the probability distribution of the electron includes the possibility that it can be inside the nucleus.

  • @xxxxblackxsheepxxxx and with what cassiopeiproject said the more electrons you have in an atom the more energy levels in the absorption spectrum, lead would emit a lot more different frequencies than hydrogen

  • These guys have quantum seizures... #LOL

  • Correction. The opening statement that the structure of atoms was coming into focus in the early decades of the 19th century, should I'm sure have been the 20th.

  • @sydneybb Yes, thanks. We meant to say "early decades of the 1900's".

  • they have all these particle physicists and those kinds of people who can do such fantastic things, yet they can't animate for shit XD

  • hAHA i watch this instead of sitcoms

  • Why is Mr. Clean having a seizure?

  • awesome! Thanks!

  • how long does sunlight last once it has reached the earth? starlight?

  • @yeahyeahgimmeshelter The photons in sunlight and starlight either get absorbed pretty quickly by the matter they encounter or get reflected back into space.

  • who is the one smart ass that down thumbed this? lol

  • I just can't emphasise enough how much you should lose those dreadful, awful, weird cgi characters. I now have an irrational fear of them as well as clowns and 4 year old beauty pageant girls.

    Rest of the vid is great.

  • The video is very good, but as others have said before, the CGI characters are creepy and actually damage the viewing experience. It is a mistake to use them. It turns viewers off your video.

  • Truly weird and amazing. I love how mathematics can be used to explain anything.

  • was the animation an exaggeration when an electron somehow collides with a proton? incidentally what happens when an electron and its proton collide with one another at a given speed?

  • @stockshunter The "explosion" in the animation was really meant to show the "explosion" of the idea that an electron can orbit a proton like a planet going around the sun.

    There are many possible results when a proton and electron "collide".

    At very low energies, the electron can be captured and a hydrogen atom is formed. (cont)

  • @stockshunter At higher energies, other possibilities emerge. Elastic scattering is a possibility. They could also merge to form a neutron and the excess energy would be carried away by an anti-neutrino. At even higher energies, other possibilities exist -- including the creation of other particles in the final state.

  • @cassiopeiaproject does Diana belong in the kitchen?

  • those computer generated dolls are creeping me out!

  • @Voodoofreak35 cute, voodoofreak35, cute

  • im a little confused, now how confusing is that?

  • You'er not confused enough :P

  • you know something, i'm gona learn physics sometime in the future... I hope, maybe then I'll understand something about this video, the problem is, i'm not sure if I should learn it or not, I'm afraid I'm not that smart, if I was smart, then I would learn all sorts of interesting stuff, you know what? fuck it, i'll see if i'm gona learn it or not

  • Well, even Feynman said that he hadn't understood his own theory :P and in my humble opinion he was equal to Einstein.

    There are things completely beyond our human comprehension, eg. doubl slit experiment.

    I got interested in quantum world after learning about this:

    watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc

    its a nice explanation of an experiment that keeps almost all scientists awake at night :P

  • they must have made a mistake in that experiment....

  • It was done thousands of times and with various result checking. They run the experiment, switch on the observer and went home. The following day they came back and flipped a coin whether to see observers data or not. If they looked at it pattern was from matter. If they deleted observer's data without checking it, patter was made by a wave.

    So experiment ended yesterday, today we decide whether to see the observer's data or not and todays decision determines yesterdays experiment.

  • u just made up your last comment didn't you? you don't know anything about where and how they did those tests, you gotta learn it in physics or read about it somewhere, but I dought you know exactly how those tests were done, I don't know either, it's just your comment sounded like you made it up

  • watch?v=Bgnuib0z0vI

    Its a bit long but bear with it to the end. And next time you accuse someone of lying try doing some research on your own.

    I know how they MAKE (not made) this experiment, but it would take more than 500 signs to explain it.

    Some maniacs even waited one year to check the results, but nothing's changed. :)

  • You're being ignorant. Stop that.

  • you're the one being ignorant

  • Are you basing that on my behavior or my belief system? The latter of which, by the way, you know nothing about.

  • put the bottle down, you don't need that

  • Don't feel bad zee, this video assumes a lot of knowledge. It is not a good introduction to something as complex as Quantum Mechanics.

  • What is Diana doing there! She doesnt know shit about physics.

  • this two videos explained to me more about QM than all the books I read so far.

  • "Bilhar balls", lol

  • Thank you for making such useful videos!!

  • Someone in this clip needs a lesson in pronouncing "de Broglie".

    Sheesh.

  • Or maybe... You need a lesson in understanding that women can be dumb TOO.

  • I didn't say they can't be dumb. I know perfectly well that they can be positively stupid. I'm just annoyed that they are expected that to be stupid.

  • Comment removed

  • One minor / important point :

    Not orbits.

    Orbitals.

    The term 'orbits' implies a predictable location.

  • Correct.....but you jumped the gun. The video uses a simplified term here in the beginning, but in a later video gives a more precise description, explaining the difference.

  • @ANewNormalcy Actually, "orbits allowed in Bohr's atom" is correct, because that's how Bohr characterized them. This is a historical tour of modern atomic theory, and the original language is helpful to follow the discoverers' train of thinking.

  • I found it funny that you made the medical girl sound clueless. Its like she's just there for eye candy.

    Great video nonetheless.

  • On our web site we have a story called CounterClockwise, the story establishes the character of Diana in much greater depth than depicted in our videos. Thanks.

  • having jeeves explain to me makes me feel like im important.

  • Those particular mini-explosions were meant to symbolize the implosion of the ideas that an electron can orbit the nucleus like a planet going around the sun or that it can be stationary but in proximity to the nucleus.

  • And why people think that something dramatic will happen when electron falls to the nucleus? [like in this movie: a big "boom" :P WTF??]

  • Where Rutherford and Bohr got this idea of orbiting electrons from? They only measured that most of the atom's mass is concentrated in its center and have positive charge, and the negative charge is widely distributed around it. How do they know that there is something orbiting there? :P

    What about the distribution of negative charge around the hydrogen atom's nucleus? It's still "cloudy" around it and not located in a point. So what then? :P

    Is a H atom flat circle acoording to Bohr? :P
