  • this is soooo exciting .^^

  • 5:23 - 5:48 what are they talking about when they say all the colors in white minus those that match the difference in energy shells within the atom?

    what do they mean those that match the difference in the energy shells(the difference of what between the energy shells?) confused if they were talking about the colors then thought it was about (the numbers?) of energy shells?

    please explain

  • It seems like the smaller something is, the more it spreads out or becomes wave-like seemingly because of the uncertainty principal. But, if I had a particle of 0 size, wouldn't it spread out infinitely as a wave rather than that electron which is pretty small, but not nothing, and it spreads out over finite space? If thats true, then a particle of 0 space extends infinitely and that a singularity cannot have 0 size because it doesn't extend infinitely?

  • 5:38 How long do they take to return to a lower energy level? Wouldn't it be almost immediate and cause the absoption spectrum to be filled in with the emission spectrum?

  • @raydredX The half-lives of excited states is a well-known time for most atoms. And you are right, it is often pretty fast. But it isn't hard to isolate the incoming beam minus absorbed wavelengths, from the random-direction emissions when the excited states decay.

  • @cassiopeiaproject A channel can be great for it's good content. But when they answer you back, when you need it, it makes it even greater. Thanks.

  • This video would be vastly improved by taking out the goofy CGI characters. The animation is TERRIBLE, the voice acting awful and it detracts from the exceptionally good presentation of the science.

  • if electrons pop in and out of existence, then how can compounds of elements be so stable, since the bonds between the two elements at some point don't exist.

  • @JoylessBrotato A chemical bond just changes the shape of the locations that the electron can use in its pop-in-pop-out shell game. The force of the bond itself is just an "average" of the variety of values that it can have as a result of the electrons quantum behavior.

  • ithis series is funny because it uses subliminal messaging, but still good that it could attract kids with using cartoons

  • yes or no...are we just living in one big giant back to the future.

  • Why does an electron pop in an out of existence over a greater area than a proton just because the electron has less mass?

  • @steeveyneon Yes.

  • Wonderful as always (particularly the jeeves segments..). I would like to submit a request for further detail on the particular mechanics. What does Schrödinger's equation really mean? What do the terms mean, what does the wave form *look* like? Or how might you render visualize it? Is it possible to better visualize the wave characteristics of matter, and to visualize their behavior and interactions as waves? Thank you!

  • 5:49

    does that mean there are gaps in the color spectrum that we have not seen or discovered yet?

  • Nice one for uploading these videos. This is by far the most educational video I've ever watched. 

  • I am the light.

  • with all the virtual electrons floating around the nucleus should there be a charge or more the one electron volt or do only one exist at a time and if they do, do they all travel in the same vector ?

  • @derickhaywood There are no virtual electrons as you describe them. Each real electron is simply indeterminate as to where it is, and that lack of location information makes it act as if it is everywhere it can be, but the "average" of all its characteristics equal the characteristics of a single electron.

  • @cassiopeiaproject I don't understand, what's the difference between virtual particles and the non existing virtual electrons?

  • @derickhaywood Each atom of an element has a set amount of electrons. The main point of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is that if you try to determine the momentum of an e- then you effect its position and if you try to measure its position you effect its momentum. If there were these "virtual electrons" then just think the bonding capabilites of say H and O. The bond wouldn't be nearly as strong and life wouldn't exist as we know it.

  • Since Schrödingers equation uses only linear operators you can find for any given quantum number n shells with any form you like.

  • Wow, Dianna is having an epileptic fit thinking about Shrodinger's Equation. I like her!

  • Amazing visualizations again..

  • can't get any dumber than this

  • at 1:39 to 2:32, is the best explained science to electronics calculations that I have seen.

  • Thanks, but to give credit where credit is due, we got many of these ideas for presentation from an older series called "The Mechanical Universe" and reworked the graphics.

  • Comment removed

  • Fascinating info but...

    The characters in these video are creepy as hell

    N who the hell "Jeeves" ?

  • You can find out all about Jeeves by reading the story on our web site.

  • @OBZRV82 Why do they rock back and forth when they talk. So creepy

  • @emailsucksass7354 I knew I wasn't the only one LoL

  • @OBZRV82 I think Jeeves is the bald guy's personal trainer...

  • @OBZRV82 lmao, i think jeeves is the creepy echo voice.

  • This is a hard one. I know what they are talking about, but it is not explained in a way where it makes sense to me.

  • i think other than making the video educational theres the dumb blonde innuendo.

  • Go to Wikipedia and type in Atom. Dont listen to dicks on here as most of them dont know shit, go to science forums and ask questions and also theres nothing wrong in watching these videos if the subject matter interest's you as bit by bit you will pick up information and learn about the world.

    All i will say is that the solid world around you is not so solid as you might think when you start looking into smaller distance scales..... ;)

  • Yeah... the more we look at matter, the less we think it's matter.

  • @KF81 Wikipidea is made up by random people aswell. Moron.

  • @ThePhilosophyBoy For sure, but unlike here it is edited by professionals and is a great source for information and the vast majority of it is very concise.

  • @ThePhilosophyBoy Yes, and no. I have tried to edit wiki for my own personal kicks, only to find that my entries were quickly erased by university professors. The people who edited wiki are never "random", they are almost always vested.

  • Cute Diana...

  • so the electron is like a fog? but what is an atom? is atom electron plus proton? whats proton and why is it in the middle of electron and how can it be a wave and a particle at the same time? this is so confusing

  • u need to learn some basic chemistry before asking this ..u dont even know what an atom is -.-

  • that's why i asked moron, couse i don't know this and i hoped somebody would simply anser my question instead of giving me such a dumb responce as you did, your just a waste of time

  • ok then if i tell u what an atom is do u really think that would solve the problem?

    the atom is the smallest functional, structural component of matter that is indivisible throo usual physical and chemical processes.

    and i said if u dont even know this u shouldnt be watching this clip ..if u want to know dont ask here ..u are wasting everyone's time ..go watch some basic chemistry clips if u wanna find out.

    all ur doing is trolling, wasting people's time.

  • basic chemistry clips? your a genious, off course, thats what I gotta do, thanks for your help buddy

  • Why are these guys discussing quantum mechanics in some sort of non existent realm

  • Jeeves is smarter than all three of these numbnuts

  • Yes it is Diana, you know what else is cool

  • It's REALLY distracting to see CGI figures talk. Actors would be much more natural.

  • Is that John Locke?!

  • I love this documentary, it's a great refresher. I've watched it twice now

  • Shes got a right pair !!

  • Can you help me to understand why the emitted photon is in phase with the incident photon in the case of stimulated radiation?

    Thanx!

  • First, watch our QED video. Then, in terms of arrows (probability amplitudes), the arrows for for the photons to have different phases have to be considered. But the arrows for the two photons to end up having the same phase point in the same direction and add, while the arrows for the photons to have different phases point everywhere and cancel. This makes the "same-phase" probability much larger than the "different-phase" probability. (See pg 110 in Feynman's book shown at the end of QED.)

  • Why is that the electron can occupy a large region of space because it has a tiny mass and the nucleus (proton) vice versa.

    I'm inclined to say that a nucleus occupies a larger region of space cause it has a bigger mass and an electron vice versa, but I get the feeling I'm not looking at it the right way.

    Can somebody explain it to me?

  • According to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, the larger the mass that a particle has, the more precisely its position can be known. Since the proton is almost 2000 times more massive than the electron, its position is correspondingly more precise. The light electron, is effectively "all over the place" by comparison.

  • It is easier for me to see 'particles' as balls of 'energy" of different sizes and therefore different properties. If this energy is spinning always, then we 'see' balls of particles. Can anyone correct me?

  • why is it that this video is no longer acessable? :S how disapointing. :(

  • It's available for me. Maybe you can try again.

  • When N=2 (for exemple) you have 2 possibles shap right? What made the difference? Why they can have 2 different shap? What is the condition to get 1 shap and not the other? Sphere in a sphere shap or dumbell cloud shap?

  • In the solution to the Schrodinger Equation, three quantum numbers arise from the space geometry of the solution and a fourth arises from the electron spin. The space quantum numbers are usually called n, l, and m where n is the principal quantum number, l is the orbital angular momentum quantum number and m is the magnetic quantum number.

  • The different shapes of the orbitals for a given value of n are caused by the electron having different values of orbital angular momentum -- different values of l. Higher values of n have even more possible values of l and correspondingly more possible shapes for the orbital.
