rem (roentgen equivalent man) is an outdated unit, the current SI unit is the Sievert (Sv). Also, the natural abundance of K-40 is 0.0117%, so slightly more than one out a hundred, not one out of eight thousand. Lastly, the banana equivalent dose is a complete misunderstanding of internal radiation dosimetry. It doesn't work that way.
5:02 So wait, if the only people you actually touched was your parents and kids, doesn't that mean we all touched each other at one point? More specifically, the first two human beings?
ohhhhkayyyy...this guy is cool and all, but this is toatally an opinion! Don't be fooled by him. This is an unproven theroy...I think it's called "zenoism". Anyway, I think he should've included that. Remember children, you can't beleive everything on the internet!!!
@THCIFilms There is still friction because on an atomic level nothing is absolutely flat. Think of a forest with trees on it. One of the atoms in your butt could be protruding more "out" than the other atoms and could dig into a space between the atoms on the chair. Just like this: imagine the letter W hovering and sitting nicely in between the gaps of the letter "M". Neither has to be touching, but if you were to move the letters side to side it would be difficult to budge. This is the friction
You should do a show on whether we can call our bodies 'ours' at all. Which part of my body is actually mine, since it's ever-changing, shedding molecules (or atoms) and gaining others (in so many ways, so many processes), etc.... How much of my body is "me" and how much is just "stuff moving through me, or living in me"? What atoms or molecules are part of me now that were previously part of someone else? Lots of cool questions there...
@JonWFergus Technically none of the atoms are apart of you. Your skin cells are constantly dying and being shed. Each 28 days you get a new layer of skin. Every 10 years you get a new Skeleton, since the calcium in the bones is constantly being added and taken away. You should think of yourself as a living robot, constantly being upgraded and scrapped.
i had unprotected sex with a hooker last night, but its ok beause i never actually touched her vaj with my penis, poor atoms tho, theyre going to be riddled with all sorts of tropical diseases
What about electron transfer between objects? You are sorta transferring matter then are you not? If they are your electrons and they go from a nucleus on your body to another person's nucleus
Don't worry everyone. I'm here to restore your sense of "touch", if you know what I mean. The electron's field of repulsion touches other electron's field of repulsion. Where they touch, you can imagine it as a sheet of skin.
So like if you rob a bank and the police want to arrest you for holding a gun to an innocent by-passer's head, you can get away with it because you're not even touching the gun?
So we know that if we are sitting on a seat or any sort of relax to relax are body to then we are NOT touching the seat because of the really tiny Atoms so what if we can't sit and can't relax are body to any sort of seat...that would be hard to know.
lol so sleeping with people increases your chances of cancer. I like that he avoided the gravity doesn't work on the sub atomic scale problem. very convenient.
