Quantum Mechanics

Unable to see the details of an atom, physicists had to base their understanding of atomic structure solely on experimentation and indirect observation. This video segment, adapted from A Science Odyssey describes some of the thinking and theorizing that contributed to our present-day atomic model.

  • Thanx for the video i like it very much... i'm trying to translate it to my native language, spanish, and i have a little problem... between 1:12 to 1:16 i can't understand quite well the final words of Malcolm Longair. Could you transcribe it please? :D

  • "atoms would have no way of supporting themselves with the large volume that they have" ... I THINK this is what he is saying...

  • where is this video from

  • Just sit back, relax and listen, if you try to understand all its paradoxes, you enter a road from which is no mental healthy return.

  • @elisraelita111 "quuantum mechanics,is evidence of G,s concience, or of His universal presence" That's rubbish, everyone knows that quuantum mechanics,is evidence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster's concience, or of His universal presence

  • "that means that you and I do not exsist. That atoms would have volumes

    supporting themselves with large volumes that they have."

  • Just because you can't know where it is does not mean it is not there.

  • quuantum mechanics,is evidence of G,s concience, or of His universal presence.

  • finally get it

  • where is this clip from?

  • all have massive useless discussions on youtube please.

  • I just said this is NOT a contest, so why do you want to argue over who turned it INTO a contest???

    I know you cannot understand or speak english very well, but look at my previous message again carefully.

    I'm not begging for attention. Everytime I end my message telling you to go away, you reply with 3 messages.

    I want you to understand what I am saying, the point I've been making for the past 6 days, and to then piss off.

  • Yeah, right...

    You were the one how turned this into a contest: "not only i said it 5 days ago when it was yesterday like i said it 6 days ago now that is today" - tchii I wonder what you'll say tomorrow.

    You acknowledge this. When you came along to this fight you had nothing and what you got now it was provided by me. Want to be alone? Don´t come over begging for attention
