Beyond Imagination. Part 3: The Matter of Matter

A little closer to my own field this time. The only thing more amazing than the natural world is the fact that we, with our simian brains, have managed to discover so much of it. Those who seek to deny these achievements do a great disservice to humanity and to the gods they profess to worship.

The protein and DNA animations were done using JMol. If you want to explore some structures yourself you can download for free at:

http://jmol.sourceforge.net/

A slightly more user-friendly package, RasMol, is also free at:

You can get all the protein structures you could wish for at:

If you're feeling adventurous and can stand a steeper learning curve, you can get the software a lot of the pros use for free at:

Music: Antonio Vivaldi, Concerto No. 1 in E major, Op. 8, RV 269, (Spring).

Quantum physics. I will be having my lasts credits on it this fall, due to some academic nonsense: conflict between university curriculum so it seems. I used to study the subject using Robert Eisberg's and Robert Resnicks's, Quantum Physics of atoms molecules... etc. I really like it but if you have another suggestion that would help me with my studies, I would appreciate it.

Are you more of a chemist or a physicist by the way? Were did you have your degree?

[TheLivingDinosaur]

@assalane I'm more of a chemist, really. The only quantum physics education I've had was through high school, so it's fairly limited. The rest I just picked up from books for laymen. I also love to read about the history of science, which is more of what this video is about. Sorry I can't be of more help, and good luck with your studies!

[phurphy]

beautiful videos! thank you!

[TheLivingDinosaur]

@phurphy Thank you too. ;-)

[seriouslymatsteele]

Beautiful. 5 stars, faved, you're awesome. That is all.

[AMEEN376]

It is a great work. Keep it up.

[oldsynner]

Wonderful stuff. Well done!

[satanisthetruegod666]

@MrFloydc2 that or they were trying to compensate for something. (lol)

[groovyengineer]

The universe just keeps getting better.

Great work LivingDinosaur, I can only say that I'm glad to be alive in a time when science can answer the questions sentience so desperately wanted to know and resorted to imagination to find them.

[MrFloydc2]

who ever made evrythng that exists must have a huge dick!

ps great video 'thelivingdinosaur' x

Like your vids.

Thought your comment that ancient Greek atomism was a lucky guess was reductive. Atomist thought really arose from metaphysical paradoxes of being/non-being, identity/change, motion/space. Rudimentary empiricist epistemology and a lot of good math and logic was achieved. Without the inheritance of the Greeks, the Enlightenment would have been a much harder slog. Contra-wise the cultural persistence of Christian Neo-Platonic dualism is a pox on the body of ideas.

Again, another great vid that enlightens and entertains. Hopefully you will stir the curiosity of some viewers to read and think. You are showing that reality is so much more interesting, complex and humbling than the greatest myth. Music suggestion: .Brahm's Symphony #4 - last movement - the triumphant variations that seem to soar to the heavens.
