How Do Atomic Clocks Work?

[@jimmypk1353]

Steve Mould sent me here :-)

[@adithyakaravadi8170]

The best explanation I've found so far. Also very accurate, most other sources are not. They say they "9,192,631,770 vibrations of Caesium atoms" which is incorrect and very confusing. It is "9,192,631,770 oscillations of the radiation that excites caesium atoms". Thanks for this!

[@DomBurgess]

Fantastic! So glad you liked it, and glad my info was accurate. Thanks for watching! Dom

[@abhisekbhattacharjee9503]

Sent here by Steve Mould... You're good, man! Loved your presentation!

[@williamg9695]

You deserve more subscribers based on your content and work

[@DomBurgess]

Thank you! I agree! ;)

[@DomBurgess]

Thanks. I use a NTG4+ and place it as close as possible, a mixture of above and below frame. I'm not sure why my audio still doesn't sound great. My house has a lot of hard surfaces though which is the only thing I can think of.

[@pol...]

I have an exam on atomic and molecular physics coming on and today I was reading the notes of the professor. But when I saw that next topic was on atomic clocks I just thought: let me KZbin that to gain some motivation. You gave me the motivation to continue reading and not to be lazy, thanks!

[@DomBurgess]

Amazing! Thanks Smalde! Thats what I love about KZbin, you can learn things in so many different ways. :)

[@berkk1993]

wow, what do you study?

[@FeRoOOo71]

dude, where are your subs? your shit is on the same level as Vsause, keep up the good work

[@DomBurgess]

Thanks FeRo00o71! That is a huge compliment, I'm a big fan of Vsauce. Its tough starting out as a new channel and I don't do much promotion at the moment, need to do more for sure. Every subscriber helps though so please share with your friends! Thanks for the support! Dom

[@rahulshah7578]

Dude. Your content is amazing. Im very happy Steve sent me here. Keep up the good work, we all appreciate you

[@DomBurgess]

Thank you! :)

[@jackasotarex]

Sir, this is probably the most well spoken and thought out demonstration of everything this Earth needs...Please, never stop. You are fantastic. I am metaphysically setting us up to meet one day. Take care!

[@Adam-od2ij]

I have been unable to grasp this concept for days, until this video made everything click! Thank you!

[@Sebastian48532]

Haha where are the subs man? Honestly one of the best KZbinrs.

[@DomBurgess]

Thanks so much Sebastian! I honestly don't know, I think it's because I don't post regular content - life gets in the way! I am trying to do more though. Look out for a new video later this month. :)

[@apoorvpotnis]

Steve Mould sent me here. You definitely deserve move subscribers. Great content.

[@Jaiysful]

Holy crap, this content is amazing. Insane amount of work going into the editing and animation. Subbed! Hope your channel keeps on growing!

[@dinosanchez8528]

You speak at the perfect speed for me, others tend to go a little fast. Great video, thanks!

[@ViralKiller]

wouldn't there be a small error that accumulates everytime the cessium corrects the radio waves?

[@qwerty83484]

subscriber count do not all reflect the quality of the video.

[@DomBurgess]

I agree! Thanks for watching! Dom

[@baredesigns1]

Me too. Came via Steve Mould

[@telkakaston1657]

Steve Mould sent me here and told me to SUBSCRIBE. I like what I'm seeing, hearing and learning from you, so you've gained a new subscriber. Be sure to thank Steve for the shout out, Dom!

[@rock3tcatU233]

The clearest explanation I've seen to date.

[@rafaeldiaz847]

I really hope you get more subscribers. Your content is amazing. Great Job!!

[@DomBurgess]

Thanks Rafeal, me too!

[@karpios34]

what a great channel, hope it blows up

[@madhavdua8624]

Don't listen to hater dude do what you like. People keep complaining even when they are watching everything for free.

[@JanosZakarias]

Excellent video! But something's not clear: how do the convert the oscillation of the quartz crystal (32,768Hz) to the frequency of the cesium atom's resonance frequency (9,192,631,770Hz) in the radio wave transmitter? At 4:02 you say the transmitter will transmit at 32kHz, but to 'excite' the cesium atoms the frequency needs to be it's resonance frequency (what you show at 4:33). Is there a missing step?

[@hassanm.1887]

Who else comes from Steve Mould?

[@ritvikvaishnav3472]

Steve Mould brought me here. I was sceptical at first, but your quality blew my mind. Liked and subbed. Keep up the good work my man

[@aarushgadge8015]

Thank u sir for explaining in easy way , We need more people like u in WORLD , #LOVE FROM INDIA

[@DomBurgess]

Thank you too for your comment, made my day! :)

[@albertnisbet2578]

Great concise video, thanks. A minor correction, though: GPS satellites don't determine your position, they basically just broadcast their time. The position is calculated by the receiving device.

[@tkmoideenmuthanoor7499]

i just love that "EVERY THINK" stuff in the begining.......and i just watch it over and over again....:D

[@anchorbait6662]

Got recommend to come to this channel. Definitely earned my subscription. Good work

[@PhiTheProducer]

Holy carp!! Two Everythink episodes in such quick succession? You spoil us, sir.

[@jortand]

Got here from Steve Mould, great explanation on the workings of an Atomic Clock!

[@nottherightone2]

Holly shit the animations and work put into this is crazy, great channel!

[@NSLikeableHuman]

Here from Steve Mould’s quartz video. Absolutely clear explanation in a well-produced video. I’m astounded you only have 20K subscribers (as of writing), but you just got one more. :D

[@ThomasKrKr]

criminally underrated channel. YT recommendations, do your thing.

[@Henrque123]

Steve Mould sent me here. This channel needs to be known, it's really good!

[@Thark]

These videos are amazing! I freaking love them! Do not stop making them please, I can't survive without them now D:

[@DomBurgess]

Ha ha! Thanks Thark, thats really kind of you! I am trying to post more regular content - look out for a new video at the end of this month. :)

[@unfa00]

I'm glad Steve Mould gave you a shout-out!

[@shayanahmad5439]

Came here because of Steve Mould. Subscribed right away! Amazing presentation buddy!

[@peterandersson3812]

I came here from a link in Steve Mould’s video about quartz clocks. And now I’m a subscriber. :-)

[@johnmclaughlin4778]

I feel like I just stumbled into the first 1% of subs to a big channel. Well done and keep it up sir.

[@TheDarkzHD]

Got my subscription for an easy to follow and fun informative video on not such an easy topic! Thanks for the video pal!

[@DomBurgess]

Thanks! Glad it was useful and you enjoyed it! Dom

[@Pixelon_]

Steve Mould sent me to this video. Surprised to see you have not even 10K subs with such high qual content. ~Keep up the good work.

[@Selas81]

Steve Mould sent me here and now I've subbed, thanks for the video from Denmark!

[@blank001]

Great video. Perfect mixture of explanation and humour.

[@nithikasandinu9034]

Where are the subs man; You must have at least 1M subs; Upload content every 2 weeks; You can hit 1M within one year.

[@DomBurgess]

Children and full time job doesn't really allow me to do that unfortunately! :)

[@Bbeaucha88]

How on earth are you not at 1mil subs?!? Your stuff is top shelf KZbin!

[@paulcosby8662]

Nice video. Came from Steve Mould's video on quartz clocks.

[@PythonPlusPlus]

Got here from Steve Mold, subscribed the second the intro finished

[@raduorza883]

Great video! I've been 'sent' here by a description from a video from Steve Mould's channel. Also subscribed! :D

[@alfredpetersbourg3324]

Thank you very much bro really well explained nice animation in there everything is slick

[@VivekTR]

Excellent video. Leaving a comment to please the KZbin algorithm.

[@daniellebarker7205]

came here from Steve Mould's channel, subscribed right away

[@thec-m]

Here from Steve Mould’s video (from May). Instant sub.

[@anneeq008]

That finishing fact though 😮🤯

[@RmnceKng]

What an excellent video filled with succinct information, great animations, and just the right amount of humour! Thoroughly entertaining. Especially the unexpected opera singing animation! aha. Keep it up, subbed, and "belled".

[@AlpacaZ]

There's something I don't understand 100% here. The fact that Caesium resonates at that frequency and that frequency is exactly 1 second blows my mind. I understand that that frequency was defined to be a second but, when they decided to make that specific frequency a second, they used their previous definition of a second to come up with that number, correct?... I'm just wondering... Did they come up with that number AND by coincidence it was also the resonant frequency of Caesium, or did they have a close number and decided to round it to the Caesium's resonant frequency?

[@GoogleUser-gv2tq]

Steve Mould brought me here. Great video! Subscribed :) Keep up the good work!

[@amfalek]

You, sir, have earned a new subscriber. Every second of your video was informative and entertaining. Awesome topic too. I'm ready to dive into your other videos.

[@DomBurgess]

Thanks so much! :)

[@mileycyrus9730]

The real question is if there was no reliable source that expressed 1 Sec how did scientists know that 9 192 631 770 oscillations of a caesium atom is equal to 1 Sec??? Plz answer

[@wihannieuwoudt8972]

Sent here by Steve Mould. Good content.

[@nineballking06351]

Thank you Steve Mould for a great recommendation.

[@robertreitze3192]

Hi, can you tell me where you got that wool pullover? I've been searching for just such a thing. Also the video was excellent, especially in that it sparked my interest and I had to get a deeper understanding, as you can't cover all detail in a 5 minute video. I'm here from Steve Mould's video on Quartz Clocks. You deserve more subs.

[@drewlyton]

Holy crap! The motion graphics!!! Great work!

[@pixels303at-odysee9]

Subscribed. Simple but accurate video explaining in a way everyone understands. Been many years since taking Digital fundamentals, flip flood being one of them. Time for a refresher to relearn what I forgot.

[@elrumorli]

I follow a lot of science related channels and you... You have potential right here, keep up the good work, I've suscribed

[@thunderbird252]

Steve Mould sent me! So based on that, and the first 47 seconds, you've earned a new subscriber!

[@ReedHarston]

How many people here from Steve Mould’s video on quartz watches? Edit: checking the views on Dom’a other videos, I think the better question is who *didn’t* come from Steve’s video? 😂 Glad he mentioned your channel Dom, your channel really was a great find! Keep up the great content. 👍
