Introduction to Quasicrystals (the basics)

[allgoodnamestaken948]

I'm amazed at how eloquently you're able to explain such complex subject matter, lol.. I've just now watched a few of your videos for the first time, and I'm very impressed. Thanks for all of your work.

[MoleCluesTV]

On our channel, you can see a simple presentation of Shechtman's Nobel Prize!

[leightonkillick1975]

My god, some people that comment on videos are just plain rude, the volume is FINE!!!! good and interestin video, welldone ;)

[eilselyiu8]

hi, so does it mean Quasicrystals is harder than steel or other materials since there is no gap in between the atoms?

[0nemesis1]

Remove it and re-record it with better sound! Can hardly hear it!

[CosmicCelestial]

Where is the #*@!en Volume fix this bloody thing Now!!!

[AngelG12345123]

Hey your the volume is too loud I can't hear anything but it's because i've gone deaf.. Do you think you can lower the volume?

[Jeneration52]

Escher! Now I know why I have always been attracted to his work .....

[energytruth]

turn up the volume

[NYLATINO1]

Can't hear a thing!!! wtf

[carnivourlocust]

love watching your vids m8 ... just wondering ... are quasicrystals like welding, except it is welding at a sub-atomic level?

[MadHabbler]

@carnivourlocust

niec question id like to know the answer aswell

[crossface40]

its been about 3 years and you still havent fix the audio problem.

[bb6456224]

good explanation. indeed the audio needs an increase, but i used a headphone to solve the problem.

[emilen2]

While this is very interesting, I wonder if the author had his head up somewhere when recording. Simply unproffesional :(

[lceus]

Congrats on the chemistry Nobel prize

[TheTash1001]

Hay! Shambala documentary 1 of 7 ...........Check it out. Get back to me.....

[MucusMcTard]

Pump up da volume. This is interesting

[thinkstrait]

dude sound high

[mistermassive1]

I can't hear anything!

[gjmvi]

CANT FUCKING HEAR YOU

[adeptusluminati]

Great educational video, but I wish you would have carried on to actually discussing what practical or theoretical purposes this area of science can serve. Thanks for sharing. I've watched about 10 of your videos tonight. Finally some decent intellectual material in the mountain of crap that is most of Youtube.

[Kilooscarromeo]

Has anyone tried appling Fractal geometry?

[jamma246]

@Kilooscarromeo Yes. I do a little work on this, and have come across some examples. Look up the "Rauzy Fractal", for example.

[xXJADEXx7]

odd, I was just watching that Edgar Fouche video you posted, and when I heard quasicrystal I didn't know what it was so I googled it and this video popped up. Can't hear it though.

[ElectricGravity]

o hai ...can you increase the volume of the audio and re-upload this?

[AlienScientist]

@ElectricGravity,

I just bought a $300 Condenser Mic and Phantom Power pre-amp with some donation money I received. I will be redoing the audio on all my videos, and updating them with new research and then re-uploading starting with this video and the one on Invisibility and Metamaterials.

Sorry, for the poor quality on this one, it was produced on zero budget. I will be replacing it soon.

[OnatopaU]

@AlienScientist - Define soon please...

[nor888vast695]

Cannot hear the info.

[TehNewV]

I made a quasicrystal using phi rectangles cut into diamonds by their midpoints, the polygon is similar to a dodedecagon except there are five-sided pyramids on each side, funny that they line up at a phi-related point, any smaller makes unlinked bumps, and higher makes spikes, the entire thing has 30 sides.

[TheseEyesGod]

Wonderful. Though I'm a good way from understanding all of this - consciously - there's something inside that responds to it. It is beautiful.

Gratitude R US ;)

☼ ♥ ☼

[scubasteve0201]

Quasicrystals are harder than diamond and were found in the core of UFOs, which could be the reason why they cannot be seen by the naked eye.

[jadenjak]

why would this not be openly announced, surely with more publisity and funding, great acheements can be acomplished for the good of the species...

and how does nano engineering work? how does one place atom by atom?

[1Kackow]

@jadenjak

not to insult intelligence but knowledge is power and the really good knowledge is really powerful so why would those that seek to horde it and use it over others as ever wish to give the power away which they so greedily horde. Apologies for those behind the curve to understanding mankind's primal instinct to divide and conquer. But those that withhold knowledge see themselves as your master ....hence your answer. " imagination is the true knowledge"

[rabitrabitt]

I could of sworn that some math whiz,added a extra dimension to a quasi crystal and found by doing so that the randomness suddenly became non random.A 5th dimension.Anyone know of this?

[TheyRNotListing113]

Make A 17 atom sword vibrating at high speed

[circusboy90210]

can you turn the volume up please?

[Imot744]

what are these things good for? plz answer my qusetion!

[AlienScientist]

@Imot744, you can use them to make ultra strong materials and you can use them to build photonic computer processors and fiber-optic transmission lines.

It's nanotechnology.

[Imot744]

@AlienScientist

sry to bother you but i m really interested:

how are such crystals produced and what is photonic computing?

[TheyRNotListing113]

make a 17 atom thick sword vibrating at high speed

use your imagination

[ThePretzelHead]

Now I can solve Riemann. Zeros of a feather flock together.

[matt121242]

holy shit turn the sound up

[islamoh]

nice vid..is there a part 2 coming?

[MegaSingularity]

i liked in info dude but whats with the breathing dude you are so nervise calm down do some yoga and shit

[gothaar]

Fantastic. Where did you get the animation of the Penrose tiling? That would be an interesting idea for auxetics!

[anchor425]

i spend alot of time with my face in microscope as a gemologist......lol....so im seeing hubble telescope piuctures in my gem material.......and the neat ways it cleaves and crystels line themselves and form...........funny its true ! as above so below...........sacred geometry and sequences,,flower of life, ...all show us the same........this is a great vid....if i could just turn up the volume......

[stevster85]

interesting

[dannymusick]

Wow. pause at 7:03 and look at how many 3D shapes there are! you can see cubes, triangular prisms, rectangular prisms, pyramids, etc, etc. its so cool!

[perongs]

i barely hear the sound of your voice. can you make it clearer??

[eilselyiu8]

1 more question, how useful are nano technology?how will it change our daily lives? i read your comment and saw that it makes computer process faster, so does it mean this material is superior than optical fibre in transmiting informations/data?

[allgoodnamestaken948]

@eilselyiu8 It are make things much gooder overall l-.-|

[YirtakkiHippie]

Is this kind of like fractals?

[prakkari]

Sorry abot the broken english and lack of word to describe this. I could slide the 3d objects together and they locked sort of, and I could join them together infinently and make a cluster where the nexst piece could go anywhere I pleaced, filling all space in between and leaving no pockets. It was quite remarkable and I thought about making a sculpture from this or container or bottles of some sort. Doubt the shape can be found in nature, but who knows.

[prakkari]

I once found a 2d shape, I turned into a 3d shape with the same quality regarding combinations. That is it could be tiled in 3d and locked togeather in the same manner as the 2d shapes. I am a huge fan of Escher, but I ave never seen him be able to do this though some 3d shapes have some resemblance to my shape. The structure was based on isometric shapes. No computers then. I figured it all out in my head and made a 3d model that worked.

[1badfokker]

You can think that but time runs out for all of us to decide where we stand. Most of us will decide without knowing we even have, but the consequences will remain the same.

[MKUltraGurl]

your videos, are excellent, most excellent!

[alumrof101]

Beside the volume problem, this one was damn good just like the rest of you postings.

Thanks A.S.

These creatures exist but it is misleading to call them aliens, think angels of satan, and angels of Christ.

[slwLwisen00]

LOL

[Bi0hazardx]

You need to do this one over next, the new Anti-Gravity one you made was fucking amazing!

Definitely RE-DO this one though.

[Daemo4]

How dare you give give up the secrets of Tetris!

[midplanewanderer]

Aaaughh! Volume UP please! I guess you know now. Very interesting presentation, from what I could glean. (Think maybe you could re-master this or cook-up a new vid going even deeper into this, at a normal volume?)

[mariduru]

audi really low volume u should gix that

on next videos or remaster this one also

cherrs:)

[BOGZASV8MA]

interesting . increase the volume

[Cmey2k]

my brain is hurting! but it feels good - so much information to digest.

[sayasitis]

Interesting nice 1 .....

[isettadnv]

OMG. I was just looking for the latest Paris Hilton's video (just kidding)

[Jadem131]

hmm..... Interesting...... Interesting......

[ntrsptl]

After seeing the other vid, this vid now dawns upon me (dauntingly...lol). With a (common man - man made) skin, propulsion system, and verifiable rememberance system (2 get fr pt2pt), the "proposition" of diminishing natural resources vs. expanding population becomes moot: move some of the population off the planet (in lieu of "offing" the population < as NWO would profer). Tnx again.

[AlienScientist]

At 02:22 I made a narration error. Shapes do NOT require 2 or more lines of symmetry to tile the plane. As you will note the rhombus in the lower right has no lines of symmetry but will tile the plane. Sorry for the mistake.

[Quinctius]

you can add a 'video annotation' to adjust it in the video itself.
