  • Oooh, where getting closer to super man secret....

  • I FUCKING FLYING BROSKI

  • So how do the atoms in the chair know not to blend with the atoms in the body? If on a small enough scale there is no true solid line..then what keeps gravity from pulling us all into the earths center? Something is missing in physics...

  • MICHIO IS SO YOUNG!!!!!!!

  • oh wow. all of my favorite physicists (the young versions =P) in one video =D (actually Neil DeGrasse Tyson is missing )

  • what show is this from and can u upload the whole program?

  • so we should focus on the energy not the matter

  • When I was younger I would actually imagine this idea for fun, based on no knowledge at all of course.Very strange to me to find out it is true.

  • Good now let's develop a way for someone to walk on water and we can hopefully convert some more people to reality.

  • I'm sorry. I have trouble believe the idea that matter doesn't exist. I would like to believe it but I guess I don't understand it.

  • 0.00000008cm away from the chair. I still consider that sitting on my chair.

  • I have a relevant question. If this video is true, then when i tap my finger on my desk i'm not really touching it, yet it makes sound. So how come it doesn't make sound if i pretend to tap the desk but never actually hit it?

  • @cronicjointpain When the electrons of your desk repel the electrons of your finger, the recoil creates an interaction with the electrons of the gas atoms that make up the surrounding air. This interaction is actually an energy transfer from the electrons of your finger to the electrons of the air and travels as a sound wave from the place of energy transfer which is the contact surface of your desk.

  • @maxavail Well isn't it in a more simple way just the fact that when you 'hit' the table you compress the air in a really tine space between your hand and the table. This compressed air produces sort of a chock wave which is interpreted as being sound due to the fact the shock wave is travelling through air?

  • @DracoMhuuh the air is fluid, it will move out of the way of your finger, besides, compressing it would not produce a sound, unless the compressed molecules could somehow transfer the impact energy to the other surrounding air molecules that go free and transmit the energy as sound wave.

  • @maxavail Well the fact of the air being a fluid doesn't exempt it from compression. And your hand is not completely flat so there is indeed some air trapped between the palm of your hand and the table. When you hit the table the air gets compressed, heats up, and expands when released causing a mechanical wave percieved as sound. Now in the case of a finger used the wave is just the air moving out of the way, this compresses surrounding air and is transmitted through air to your ears.

  • sweet!! so if i beat the shit out of somebody, i can't go to prison because i never actually touched them LOL to bad i can't use this as a defense!!!

  • This is the hidden truth

  • My bad back would disagree with this video .

    Those bed springs really are !!!

  • So, if I kiss a girl, do I kiss an empty space? wtf? :)

  • 10 ^ -8 = 0.1nm!!

  • LORIS CAVALCANTE-RESSUCITA-ME

  • SO WE ALL FLOAT AND HOVER AROUND.

    MIND FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

  • I believe i can fly...

    I know now that i can fly ;)

  • WHAAAAAAAT?!?!

  • Mind blown.

  • fucking bullshit show me a picture of an electron or stfu

  • FUCK YOU STOP MAKING MY HEAD BREAK

  • I have hover boots.

  • My brain is hurting! Call a wambulance! No wait, nevermind; actually it is an illusion, of mind over no matter.....

  • Holy shit, they just dropped a reality bomb on me.

  • maybe atoms are somebody else universe because they are so small that we can't even comprehend how small it is? maybe we are somebody else atoms?

    maybe the only thing exist is the Perception of existance meaning there is no good or bad,there is no such thing as wrong or right, only the Perception of good and bad and wrong and right so we are only Perception of our self image

  • @sayroni yeah and maybe poop is pee and pee is walnuts!!

  • @DaFleegsta

    lol

  • if we're 90% empty space on the subatomic level of experience, then that begs the question, do we really exist?

  • @trickmastermonkey Yes, We Do.

  • @WhySoBass How do you know that? And dont say "because i am sentient"

  • @Gitars5 Existance is really a relative word, relative to us we exist, I'm sure you would agree that if someone stabbed you in the eye the pain would be real enough no?

    Also if we're SOMETHING in 90% empty space, then we EXIST in the empty space.

    Also because i am sentient.

  • The original meaning of an Atom was described by the Greeks as the smallest unit of measurement possible. Show me a photo of the smallest unit of measurement possible. How is that Photo Derived? Using the word Atom to describe the entire workings of something that's "electromagnetic" will just confuse everybody. The word Atom should no longer be used, only what it is relative to and in the Text of Greek Science and Philosophy.

  • @tnguyen318 I thought atom came from the word "atomos", meaning uncuttable.

  • Not being able to cut anymore or uncuttable is almost the same as smallest unit of measurement possible. For smallest unit of measurement possible is practically no longer cuttable.

  • @tnguyen318 That's about the size of your cock is it?

  • We shouldn't use words like Atoms anymore. We need to be more specific and describe exactly what were talkin' about. Nobody gets what the heck were saying. 

  • @tnguyen318 your mum is right here sucking me off

  • Michiao Kaku wants to stop and cok you, Neil tyson degrasse wants to put it in your azzzzzzz. (its a line in my rap song)

  • I heart Dr. Michio Kaku. He's so smart. :} I have a nerd crush. LOL

  • ten two the -eight

  • I CAN FLY!!!

  • if atoms are small and are in every matter known to man, have the same distance between a solarsystem and aonther solarsystem don't you think we are a smaller part of something much much bigger like atoms?

  • @80spopQueen no

  • I have a question and maybe someone with a strong physics background can answer me. If I am not actually touching or seating on an object, what produces the sound if I hit it? My logic says to me that if I'm not touching it, it shouldn't produce any sound. Don't get me wrong, I'm not denying what these ppl are saying , I find it really interesting, I just have that question.

  • @TheIrieGamer vibrations make the sound

  • @mcRioRemedy then, is it right to assume that if I put my finger in cold water, the feeling of cold is just an illusion because I'm not really touching it?

  • @TheIrieGamer no, the cold from the water will make your body vibrations (atoms and molecules) slow down.

    the slower something vibrates the colder they become

  • I really like electrons! I use them everyday.

  • I think he's farting which is why there is a micro gap between him and the chair

  • Michio Kaku \m/

  • The idea is pretty straightforward. I still don't get why some people struggle

  • yeah but how about the polished steel and gold nugget experiment?the atoms interact with each other anyway?

  • I ahve videos with Krauss and Kacheau from the last few years. They look much younger now than they did then..... THEY HAVE DISCOVERED TIME TRAVEL THE BASTARDS AREN'T SHARING PROLLY THEY WENT BACK AND FOUND MOSE'S TABLETS AND DON'T WANNA CONFESS TO IT!!!!!!!

  • " He's hovering over a chair" Michio kaku is our LORD AND SAVIOUR =P

  • hey baby lets smash electrons

  • My provable theory.

    An atom has an average variable diameter of 90 trillionths of one millimeter. This number is as real as you and me as I've extrapolated it from two real numbers and not from an immaginary abstract plane.

    Atoms bind with each other to form molecules by means of their EMER's (Electro Magnetic Emitted Radiation) fields.

    Would you like to know how I reached this structural value and how atoms are made?

    contact me by email - jqs43 @hotmail.com

  • can't wait to smash some electrons tonight on my first date

  • @featheredmusic Remember to smash your electrons into a rubber type atom

  • @Tzimnewman3 LOL right....almost forgot!

    

  • @featheredmusic ...If you do a great job; than i'm give u an A+, ha ha ha good luck.

  • every breath i take i look at it as GOD pushing air into my lungs and i exhale my fair exchange with nature...we take nature for granted, people think of nature as plants and water, not thinking about breathing and your heart beat, and just simple brain function that NATURE gives you...GOD gives you

  • @ThleTruth god? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahaha, god, thats a god one

  • @Hazy804 ;)

  • Comment removed

  • Bs. You are sitting on that chair

  • My brain hurts... 

  • If that's true, then it seems that nothing really ever touches anything else. Even itself in smaller spaces.

  • I knew it, I knew it! And everyone used to tell me that the acid was distorting reality.

    IT WAS SHOWING ME REALITY.

  • k.....sooo.....how do we dial that up a bit so we can have antigravity?

  • so my life is empty space? there goes my self esteem.

  • Awesomely informative. Thanks much for posting.

  • weird science. and what about heat. strange that how faster the atoms vibrate the more pain you feel

  • @sopranomvp it isn´t the vibration of the atoms that give you pain. its the electromagnetic waves that ping pong the electrons random that give you pain.

    subatomic particles have energy. when subatomic particles interact they radiate energy in another form called electromagnetic waves. its sound waves that induces the electromagnetic waves like mechanical work in form of kinetic energy.

  • @sopranomvp also slower the atoms vibrate the more pain you feel

  • [Quran 39:67] They can never fathom the greatness of GOD. The whole earth is within His fist on the Day of Resurrection. In fact, the universes are folded within His right hand.* Be He glorified; He is much too high above needing any partners.

  • @richykhan What was the point of your post?

  • @TheSilentVocalist

    That is a just one of many verses in the Quran about Allah and his creation..

    Allah created the heavens (sky) and earth. When describing the creation of the "heavens and the earth," the Qur'an does not discount the theory of a "Big Bang" explosion at the start of it all. In fact, the Qur'an says that "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before We clove them asunder" (21:30). scienceislam com

  • @richykhan nonsense

  • if u was hovering over electric feilds you expericece friction and if ya did y does it make a differnce betwen matirals

  • So now I have a question...

    If i am actully Not touching something how can it Be that if i Touch Glas, i can See my fingerprints on it?

    And how du i youse my iPod Touch? If I'm Not touching it?

    Please please please answer!!

    (Sorry for my english its Not the Best but i understand everything :-D )

  • @iamtherisingsun

    im not a scientist or science student- but my guess is that you dont need to touch it to the point of EXACT contact to perceive its properties. for example, you can feel and can get burned by a fire if your hand is hovering 1 cm over it- your nerves can still feel the heat- maybe this is why you can get burned by fire, and can leave the oil from your fingers on glass.... i hope thats correct :P

  • @13gdob88

    That makes sense. But it doesn't answer how we can feel surfaces. If my hand is actually hovering over a table for example, how can I feel whether it is a rough or smooth surface if I'm not actually touching it????

  • @LightmanTruth

    the way subatomic particles interact contain information. the mind interpret the information and suggest what is smooth and what isn´t.

  • Materialism died 50 years ago but no-one knows how to bury it. Now we are just left with it's decrepit rotting corpse.

  • i agree vladimir. kaku should have his own show. as for not really touching anything. what causes the sound of two things hitting each other then? is it the sound of electric fields hitting each other, thus vibrating the air?

  • Thumbs up for Michio Kaku! The coolest physicist in the world!

  • so why can i feel the texture of somthing and it makes a noise if it touch it? wouldnt everything feel smooth as your fingers glide over as no actual contact is being made and there would be no sound! hmmm

  • @breakermart sound would be created by energy friction and the level of intensity and pressure that gives off the sound waves and your brain receive the signal from your whole ear system, and the energy is interpreted by your brain...

    And for the "smoothness" the atomic particles would have series of pattern that would take the matter up to it's shape and/or form, and touch have a certian viberation and your brain interpret that as "touch"

  • uh-huh-huh-huhuh... you're hovering because of the electrons in your butt!

    huh-huhuhuhuhh-huhuh...

  • An interesting thougt. If electrons are repelling when they become close. Then if you clap your hands very hard - is that an electric shock because it feels like it

  • tu madre bien , no? :) soi el toni jajajaja viva el nano i el negrooo jajajajajaj lolololololololololololo lolLOS ATOMOS NO EXISTEN SON MIERDAS JEJEJE XD GUAPOS

  • Omg try watching that high as f***, i just felt like our former president, learning a new word

  • @4methisisit Like nucular?

  • mind boggling

  • I wonder how the sense of touch works then? Does that mean that when we feel an oject, we arent acutally touching it but are actually feeling the repelling force??? But some objects feel rough and some feel smooth so we must be touching the 'surface' of them?

  • @ZetanCrisp na man, it repels with more force in certain places i would imagine, making that tiny section seem sharp.

  • if an electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton (9.10938215(45)×10−31 kg) how can it have no size? and if it behaves as a wave how can that mass exist when that a wave is a propagation in 'something' not 'mass'

    the stones weight isnt measured by the ripples! or is it?

  • If so, how come when you touch a blade, it doesn't simply miss your finger by 10^-8 cm.?

  • But I dont understand how they distinguish separate objects to repel them. For example if you take an apple, and cut it in half, the atoms would still repel eachother if you tried to push them together. But they were just one object a second ago. Also, how do things get cut, if the knife isn't actually touching my finger, how did I get cut?

  • For a molecule like H2O to form we need 2 get the H atoms very close 2 the O atom in order 4 them 2 overcome the repulsive force and bond. Applying force with the knife through a weak pt in the apple u are able 2 cut the apple. When u bring the halves 2gether they do not stick because the atoms are repelling each other. If u want the halves 2 stick 2gether, u will have 2 apply a large amt of force 2 get the atoms very close together 4 them 2 recombine. We are unable 2 produce that kind of force.

  • I guess the sliced apple develops an instantaneous sovereign properties once split from itself...thus treating the other half as foreign matter...also agree with the other guy would said...applying "force" to the knife to slice the apple.......Yet I also believe those so called empty spaces within the atom..do have particles perhaps...Ultra-subatomic particles which do not necessarily affect our universe...

  • How do you know he's wearing pants?

  • Makes sense to me.

  • did this make sence 2 any1?

  • @twicegirl yes, quite simple

  • if so, then how can we cut an apple with a knife if they repel each other?

  • @twicegirl by supplying enough force

  • But surely that would induce a 'repelling' sensation and not a 'touching' one..... ?

  • so technically, i haven't been sitting on my ass this whole time.

  • best comment ever

  • Thanks Lavabug. But what about the sense of touch. If I am not actually in contact with another object how is it that my sense of touch says I am?

  • So im made out of little tiny round thingies, Woah

  • @ZoeHannahan

    Tiny little round pushy thingies. :)

  • If atoms are mostly empty space then why is everything not transparent to look at???

  • @sweetness2follow

    Because light interacts with atoms' electron orbitals(since electrons behave like waves and not just like solid dots, light doesn't just pass through the atom).

    Some of the light is absorbed by the atom(which can excite electrons) and another part(the colors you can see) is radiated off, as photons("packets" of radiation), which is why most matter is opaque and not transparent.

    "Spectroscopy" is an interesting and relevant wikipedia read.

  • what is the name of this documentary ?

  • at time 0.26 what is he saying?

    if any one knw please help

  • "Now, what that means, atoms are mostly empty space." Or something close to that. At least, it fits within the context of the courtyard and grain of rice.

  • Dr. Kaku always has a way of explaining these things to laymen. I love that guy.

  • Why don't we learn this in school? I'm in 10th grade now and you would think this would be at least mentioned to me by now..

  • Yeah I know, this stuff really amazes me. You know tomorrow I'm gonna go and tell me science teacher theres no such thing as solid objects. LOL.

  • @xBurzurkurx

    Well, he probably already knows that, but i agree it is a pretty cool thing to realize!

    dont we just love science XD haha!

  • Science certainly makes me happy. :)

  • I love learning about this sort of thing. However, I find i need to rest at regular intervals when I am. I tend to go cross-eyed relatively quickly if I think about this for certain lengths of time.

  • deep

  • Kids, if you have questions you should try to study harder. Don't expect to understand quantum physics with you little High School knowledge. Get textbooks, get a professor and why not, read all the articles in Wikipedia and researching its sources.

    And then go to college and after college go to graduate school... you might start understanding it properly by then.

  • @quelorepario

    What makes you more universally aware than 99.9% of other physicists? What are your credentials and sources?

    Dr. Kaku, for instance, writes thousand word documents to universities and foundations. And you write YouTube comments.

    I take it, you're not accepted in those communities. Or you fear the real scientists, and resort to arguing with mostly teenagers. You don't have to have a PhD to know you have some issues with logic.

  • @SpartaClan I think you have some problems with reading comprehension... and clearly logic is not your forte either.

    I wasn't commenting about this video, it was a reply to some another guy... that post is so old I don't really care what was the discussion about. If you care so much to write three paragraphs to reply to me, then click on Show All Comments and track it down. I don't really care what it was about and what you say. Have a good day and happy new year.

  • so ionic and valent bonds control which atoms will be repelled? like 1's and 0's, make the chain long and you have the shape of diiferent molecules?  microscopic racist gang groups. We like our little group and will repeal all outsiders.

  • hmmm, so if you punch someone and break their jaw. So it was not me that broke it but the electromagnetic force created by my momentum. What if you samurai someone, is this force so defined and narrow across its blade that it severs tissue. Can they claim to measure this I wonder. Also how do chemical reactions take place then, how does a sperm pass information to a egg if indeed it never touches it. I am unconvinced

  • how do you pass information to another human without physical contact? lack of contact doesn't necessarily denote lack of connection.

  • it is a dumbed down version and I do believe he was in fact referring to a same difference except with the quantum world...

  • i agree

  • Now i have a nice excuse to say to a girl..

    Girl: You touched me?!!

    Me: No! Science says i'm just hovering over your body 10 to the minus 8cm.

    LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

  • @impulsive2urge lol. you said it!

  • @impulsive2urge hahahahahaha

  • @impulsive2urge Dude I lol'd hard. So stupid but so damn true!

  • @impulsive2urge Ha ha, then she says 'Science also says that my hand slapping you across the face is actually my palm hovering over your cheek 10 to the minus 8cm.

  • @orbazel I did not grab that stranger's breasts; my hand merely groped through the air, and her breasts moved to avoid it, evading capture by the order of 10^-8 whole centimeters.

  • @orbazel

    and the brain helps sense pain for survival and tissue longevity. Therefore, no one actually gets "hurt", they just feel convinced that their perception and sensations are real for the sake of survival and pleasure, as well as sanity =).

  • @grimslider75 that is what makes hypnotism, meditational trance, floating in air, emitting heat etc possible if we know how to control electrical discharges of nerves and understand atomic structure.

  • @impulsive2urge Hahahahaha

  • @KakHazhar wow this is so great my joke doesn't get old. haha

  • @impulsive2urge I didn't pinch your ass, only my electrons did.

  • its repelling the pants off your ass too.. at 10^-8th centimeters

  • If you were to temporarily turn off these electric fields in your hand, would you be able to put your hand through a door?

  • great idea

    patent that shit

  • the atoms would fly apart and you would have no more hand.

  • Comment removed

  • what are between atoms?

  • electrical fields.

  • Maybe there is stuff that we just cant see because it is so small and how come electrons keep moving even on lifeless things? does it have some kind of unlimited energy or is it magnetism?

  • so it really brings up a whole other question because you cant say force is being applied if theres nothing there to apply and be applied too.

    Basicly magnetics its still totaly unexplained why theres a magnetic force, it has nothing to do with material substance touching each other.

    Saying the electron has a repelling force is not an answer its just reference to a "repelling force" which we have no data on.

  • If I am hovering over my chair at 10^-8 cm, then how does he explain the fact that when a person is it by a truck, he gets his hear broken into pieces ? (:-P

  • the atoms are smashed into eachother and the force cause them to move back by the force... just take two magnets and use the sides that repel eachother and notice that it moves... its the same thing

  • @du2de11 not

  • so one question im sure has been asked is , what type of matter is occupying the space between particles ? or between atoms ?

  • something called stupidity

  • If Atoms are energy, and they can form a bond to create matter. The only way to meld them or cause them to unbind is by energy and force combined.

  • so if atoms make up everything is there such thing as space(distance) between atoms ?

  • of course, if there wasn't space between the atoms,

    all atoms would be ONE atom

    how would you, even mentally, distinguish one object from another, if there wasn't something between it that seperated it's elements from another.

    In the real world, borders don't seperate things, they join them together.

  • Space between atoms. Imagine the implications of this. This would mean that if I cut my hand with a knife, then it is not the actual knife that cuts my hand, because the knife never touches my hand. So it is my mind that alters the "appearance" of my body and creates the sensations of pain. Same with Hypnosis. Telling someone under hypnosis that he is being touched by a burning cigarette, will result in a burn mark even though he is actually being touched with a pencil.

  • that is new age bullshit, you've been watching The Secret or What the Bleep do we know. That is utter crap and brainwashing.

    Quantum physics has absolutely different rules and laws than in the macroscopic world.

    There is no way to explain a macroscopic phenomena as cutting in a quantum level. In that case just stick with newtonian physics.

    Hypnosis is absolutely a psychological phenomena, not physical and any implication of any link between them is just fringe science, pseudoscience: bullshit

  • Crazy thought! I wonder if the planets in our solar system acted like electrons until we observed them

  • The moon does not exist until it is observed, it is a wave-potential. When the observer looks at something like the moon, the waves collapse via observation creating the appearance of 'moon'.
