The valley of stability

[@eriksundell1400]

The absolute best video I've seen on the subject, this is a SUPERB video. Thank you! / very happy physics teacher

[@teekaybe4016]

I agree after 6 years there should have been at least 100K views. Great video.

[@I_am_a_cat_]

.... really? The best? I respectfully disagree.. It's great, dont get me wrong, but it's not "the best" at all.

[@teekaybe4016]

Cat can you send links of better videos? I would love to watch.

[@mooing7326]

I know nothing about the subject and I thought it was superb as well. Really speaks for the videos effectiveness as a teaching tool. Some great work.

[@Mekratrig]

Erik Sundell - Agreed; extraordinary animation, I will be rewatching this one, probably several times because it’s a near certainty I’ll comprehend more.

[@gijszwartsenberg5089]

It is so totally admirable that you take the time and trouble to point out the miracles that are contained in the simple observation that we are stardust. Thanks for creating this!

[@rosspowell8779]

This video is absolutely stunning. I don't recall ever seeing this amount of information displayed in such an intuitive manner. I now dream of having an interactive version of this model to explore.

[@crytp0crux]

Great pictures speak a thousand words - great videos paint a thousand pictures. This video is indispensable in quickly furthering one's understanding of nuclides. It gives a great overview yet furthers comprehension in what is truly an immensely difficult and nebulous subject. Overall, the video is also very generous in that it gives non-physicists a physicist's view or Weltanschauung regarding this subject. A comprehensive world-view often takes considerable time to independently muster. This video is also a case-study video exemplifying how CGI can be strategically and artistically leveraged for educational purposes. The people who also backed and financed this project should be applauded since they understood the necessity of the project and getting it right.

Stable Element 115 brought me here!

[@RedrumEight]

Metoo! What a wonderful video! The algorhytm works 😜👍

[@Create-The-Imaginable]

@Jessica Jones, Series of Paintings Are you talking maybe meta-material technology that we do not really understand yet?

[@Create-The-Imaginable]

@Jessica Jones, Series of Paintings Yes, I knew exactly what you were talking about, a.k.a meta-materials. I have an Oracle like mind and that helps, I do not know where it comes from but it is amazing! I think our current society has limiting beliefs that are holding back new discoveries. Not enough out of the box thinking!

[@Create-The-Imaginable]

@Jessica Jones, Series of Paintings I am doing the MindValley Silva Ultramind and it is blowing my mind! It is awesome!

[@vishwanathkadalagi2336]

the amount of time, effort and genius that went into this video is truly evident by the video itself. Thankyou so much.

[@Alexandre-ki1xo]

I don't understand why this amazing video only have 20,000ish views

[@pedroascencio_]

What an amazing introduction to the world of quantum mechanics. I can't say I understood most of it but I sure tried. Please promote this wonderful video to educate people about the beauty of physics!

[@uqarni1]

beautiful. very visual. fantastic.

[@sonwabo2011]

This is by far the best video ive seen on nuclear stability. Thank you so much

[@wh4t4vr]

Visualisation Excellente! Merci beaucoup!

[@northstrider2191]

the clearest explanation of chemistry I have ever come across and how stuff interacts. thank you

[@hypps9442]

Amazing animation and descriptions

[@dennisweiss6621]

Thats an excelent, albeit super specialized video. As of this writing 4.912 people watched this video and the channel has 5.251 subscribers ... I think nearly everyone who watched this also subscribed :)

[@yash1152]

Dennis Weiss Me too subscribed hoping that other videos will be as awesome like that....

[@marcosrodriguez7131]

Dennis Weiss no

[@seionne85]

This is the best visualization of this i have ever seen. Bravo

[@TyMcAuley]

Superb video, so much easier to understand how elements and isotopes have been created through natural processes inside of stars. The visualisations bind so many interrelated concepts together in ways I’ve never seen - amazing!

[@mzaite]

I've never seen a more elegant way of demonstrating these properties.

[@shadowclive]

Amazing video, great animations, great flow, great work. Thank you so much for the effort and time spent on it.

[@fallendown8828]

This is best visualization i have ever seen in this topic, thanks for this awsome video

[@AliasUndercover]

Oh my. That visualization actually cleared it up. Thank you.

[@phaZed9]

Best video explanation of this subject on YT, hands down.

[@tannerallen597]

this is incredible. I needed closed captions because my brain is too slow to parse the accent but the content is absolutely astounding

[@UniverseSinking2011]

Awesome video. Thanks! It reminds me of an entirely unrelated field, roughly, geology, where any substance stacked has it's "angle of repose." Above that angle, the substance is unstable and the "pile" collapses. For example, you can stack a pile of bricks at a steeper angle than you can a pile of sand or ball bearings!

[@LivinFakie]

That was a beautiful display, first time I've seen anything like it describing the nature of the elements!

[@CYON4D]

This is simply the best video on the subject. Excellent presentation and data.

[@secretagentx-9908]

This video was absolutely amazing. Do you guys know of any other videos of this calibre for any other topic? It doesn't even have to be STEM, though that is preferred. It does however need to explain something well and have incredible, immersive animations to go along with it. Please point me in the right direction!

[@thecapacitor1395]

3:53 Shit just got real :O

[@fallendown8828]

It looks awsome to be honest

[@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

Super video, it prompted me to think in new ways. Thank you

[@jamesmaybury7452]

Really nice to visually see the energy valley, To step from one isotope to another means overcoming an energy hump (lip) it would be possible to calculate those and visually represent them so that rather than the isotopes being represented as a flat topped 3D bar graph they would be represented with various sized lips on each edge, giving a fantastic impression of the energies required to move around the landscape. Could the National Nuclear Data centre and CEA DAM get their computers to crunch the maths and produce a visualisation? Thank you for this video.

[@xenmaster0]

Fabulous video. Bravo! Wonderfully vivid and clear explanation.

[@MusicEngineeer]

very nice visualizations. everything is easier to understand with good visualizations! thank you very much!

[@shans2408]

3:57 somebody needs to 3D print this. Looks awesome and informative

[@Dec2012omg]

12:15 My research points to Moscovium 299 being the unique island of stability. This is Element 115 with 184 neutrons. Whether or not we will synthesize this element to have any practical use in my lifetime remains to be known. But eventually we will get there and our understandings of physics will change dramatically.

[@martawolak5180]

I absolutely love this video, I use it in my classes the only thing I wish was that someone would record a voiceover again in a clearer english as me and my students we struggle with understanding the words.

[@opticaideal]

The best video about this topic that i have ever seen. Thank you so much!

[@nicolek4076]

Oh. I do love the "eye-drogen", the "high-on", the "high-sotopes", "stay-bility", "boat-om". It takes quite a while to tune in on her pronounciation.

[@KeeganLeahy]

pronunciation*

[@nicolek4076]

Thank you. I often rely on the spell-checker in my browser, but this comment had so many wiggly red lines in it, I missed that one. I believe that using good spelling and grammar shows respect for one's readers.

[@MF-mo3lh]

Nicole K, just shut up

I can't believe how good this video is.

[@marc-andrebrunet5386]

🎯Thank you so much for helping me visualize 👍

[@EndureTemptation]

A brilliant presentation! I just wish that the narration volume would've been a bit louder relative to the beautiful background ambient music.

[@AlfredoPerez1998]

This video is a masterpiece

[@coolterminator99]

X3

[@Fregmazors]

This is a fantastic video. I never understood these things clearly until today.

[@REMONSTER]

I got lost at HELLO...but then I am a unfrozen caveman lawyer and your technology frightens me...

[@ovpupfish]

This is a brilliant visualization! Edward Tufte should be made aware of this!

[@petan222]

this is fantastic! thank you!

[@numbo655]

Some subtitles would be nice. Pretty hard to follow what she is saying sometimes.

[@GlennTillema]

Yes, at times the narration was almost understandable ...

[@atharvtaparia1787]

turn on captions

[@aBetterHumanBeing]

Absolutely outstanding video, well done.

[@kanishkasharma5389]

Excellent animations and descriptions in video.. Seriously Impressed.. 👌 Thanks for making this video.

[@ramitdas2604]

This is a phenomenal find for me!

[@mysisterisafoodie]

Amazing video. My hope is that it can be redubbed, in other lamguages, so one can choose language options, and the English version to have better English pronunciation. Additionally subtitles should be made available.

[@khushisharma8980]

Amazing video and well explantion concept are clear because it's like real

[@sansantiagoTV2]

Great video, thank you so much.

[@feynstein1004]

How does an amazing video like this have so few views? I don't get it 🤔

[@invictusdomini8624]

Why does that blue line of stability remind me of the prime distance stair step function?

[@DrRich-mw4hu]

Holy Shit!! What a beautiful graph and presentation! WELL DONE 👍

[@Krys2289]

This is such a fantastic video.

[@yash1152]

Awesome video

[@meetthecassiani]

Wow that was really informative. Well put I’d say. I like the visuals

[@ericlawrence9060]

Jesus! this is incredible!!!

[@jerth]

This is beautiful

[@onesourishpuma1766]

This video is awesome.

[@AKAKiddo]

Great video. I had a little trouble understanding pronunciation over the music. But small price to pay. Thanks.

[@VL125]

KZbin recommendations are awesome

[@supergsx]

Somebody please tell me what the music at the beginning is?

[@tomikexboii5403]

Can someone please give me a link to an interactive version of the 3d chart from the video. I would very much like to have a look myself.

[@YYHoe]

Correction: Bismuth-209 is radioactive but has a half-life of 19 quintillion years. (19,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.)

[@tylerrjohnson68]

What original element created the big bang? What elements came together to create so strong and powerful reaction that it created the universe.?

[@NightmareCourtPictures]

not very many elements were made in the big bang...i think only the first few elements were made like hydrogen and helium. Those coalesced into stars and the supernova are the ones that give us all the elements. I forgot why the big bang didn't give us many elements, but from what i remember its because physics is so insane at those high energies that "atoms" couldn't even cool down to become atoms.

[@monsterbash2821]

Wow... Actually amazing video. I liiiiiive for videos like this.

[@pixbee3759]

Anyone have any links on where I can find the raw data that make up the graph for the valley of stability pls?

[@careeruse7152]

This is so cool. Lets invest money in this shit, and make it easy for people to get in that field !

[@CYON4D]

Great presentation and animations.

[@the_indicted]

Amazing, nice job.

[@Superpellexl]

That was a DAMN good video

[@Anaurodama]

very good

[@sujaynandi1536]

Really amazing

[@austinosogwin4121]

amazing video

[@josuesantacruz1370]

Where can I find the sound track?

[@m4gic_graham]

awesome.

[@FD-rt3rv]

FANTASTIQUE!!!

[@altoticket]

What an amazing video. But why am I watching this at 2:50 am?

[@williambuxton8223]

Did Robert Lazar first come across this in the 1980s, has this been reverse engineered?

[@florin3161]

They have the means to go now to serch/mine moscovium in space where exists or outher planets with biger gravity forces...

[@ghostnebula6286]

This was nice.

[@punpcklbw]

Amazing to witness the vast number of isotopes produced by supernovae! Btw, bismuth is now known to be unstable (very slightly).

[@mccallfineart7589]

music way too LOUD!!!

[@swenic]

Nice one!

[@javijvc11]

I've seen this like 10 times

[@batteries_sold_seperately]

It is 0.1 not 0,1

[@nickchan6498]

2:37 bismuth is unstable

[@eliduttman315]

Yes, IN THEORY. The 1/2 life of Bi (10^24 years) is FAR greater than the age of the universe. In practice, Bi is stable.

[@nickchan6498]

Eli Duttman The decay has been observed so it is not in theory.

[@steveburke1519]

@@nickchan6498 Technically yes, bismuth is unstable, but a lot of isotopes we consider stable now are theoretically unstable, we just don't have sensitive enough instruments to detect it. Given enough time, all elements will become Fe-56. I've seen estimates that this will take over 10^1000 years, but that's still unstable. Bismuth is, for all practical purposes, stable.

[@japeking1]

Before there was an internet, I was a high school physics teacher. Got given a kilo of Bismuth.... couldn't detect any radiation above background. I melted a hole in the block ( its very easy ), put the geiger tube in and the background got cut off. I was very disappointed... the only radiation source we had to actually demo radioactivity was some old broken gas light mantles.... not even an old glow in the dark wristwatch. Oh yes...those were the days.

[@SogMosee]

What program was used to make the animations and object models in this video?

[@deleted-something]

Cool and crazy

[@Tiniuc]

What is the narrator's first language? I'm curious.

[@VGAstudent]

I hate to say this but the accent is a bit distracting from the material when I find myself remembering how she said a word instead of what she said. Great presentation!

[@nimitkhandelwal1547]

Video content is great however the voicing could have been much better. It is difficult for many listeners to understand the accent of the speaker

[@mudballs]

Bravo!..just presented the info, no "buy this now!"...just straight into the info...wish more would follow this model

[@Simonjose7258]

Wow!

[@tomgucwa7319]

Humm , not islands of stability , valley s...

[@Graeme_Lastname]

Sounds like LED.
