Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!

This episode is a little bit different from the norm, because I've created the sound of hydrogen - or, that is, what if it would sound like if it emitted sound instead of light waves!

[cantdecidelol]

@MarkProffitt I guess. Considering that I'm still only in middle school, I guess I may not think that deep :)

Mac users, press (COMMAND, OPTION, CONTROL, 8) and watch the video ;)

@finalawesome thumb up for you buddy. if there were more of this we will graduate 5 times faster, even more! We all get dismiss and go home early to enjoy our childhood, or whatever. and also we will have more time to plan taking over the world. :)

@cantdecidelol School is definitely NOT the basis of learning. The basis of learning is gathering new information; interpreting the information; applying the information until you're able to use it to perform tasks, discover other information, or help someone else do those things.

School mostly involves memorizing data to be repeated at a future time then forgotten. There is little interpretation or application and no discovery or teaching.

Can you please make a similar pitch shifted sound of the Earth's atmosphere? Can you first represent all the gases at equal volume then adjust the volumes to their relative ratios? I would also be interested in hearing other compounds and mixtures if they aren't just noise.
