Honestly I find it really cool that BlueJay made the decision to not only shout-out the artist, but also to ASK them to be allowed to pay them, and when he couldn't he donated to an charity they supported Most KZbinrs I know of would have just said "also here is the artist, check them out" and be done with it Just something I found cool

As a freshman student in Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering, this video is pretty much a combination of the first lecture in the Major's introductory course and one of my chemistry lectures, now with more humor.

[@Teoras]

I'd have rather learned this kind of stuff from videos like this rather than books and teacher lectures. Why? Because its fun. As I'm writing this, I am realizing how little I actually learnt from school and how much I learnt from KZbin and videos in general. Damn, lol

Man. I looked up Cass Womack's art after you shouted her out for your new channel art, and damn! She's SO good! Proportional realism is awesome, and wide arrays of bright, psychedelic colors is awesome, but the overlap she works with between these two areas is just gorgeous. I'm gonna have to try and find out if she sells artwork! And she's also a game dev? How cool.

One small oversight, objects don't just give off infrared radiation, they give off all types depending on temperature. This is why a hot piece of metal glows red, the frequency of its radiation comes into the visible spectrum.

[@frantisekvrana3902]

Yeah, it's just that the hotter the object is, the more black body radiation it gives, and the higher frequency is it's peak. But it gives all frequencies lower than the peak and some range higher than the peak.

[@josephvanas6352]

As someone who works in Radiation Protection and loves to find things wrong with videos on radiation...well done. Its not as in depth as the material we cover for my job but you got one big thing right about ionizing particles. Alpha is by far the worst to get inside you. Transuranic elements meaning usually Americium or Plutonium actually like to stick to your bones when taken in to your body so an extremely small amount can be very bad for you due to both being Alpha emitters and the fact that they seek bones meaning they like to give people leukemia. Just one breath of the wrong air or one cut can change someones life if an alpha emitting isotope is involved. Beta also does this neat thing when shielded by dense materials where the energy it loses in that material is converted to high energy x-rays called Bremsstralung radiation. Its similar to Cherenkov radiation except instead of the photon it gives off being a neat blue light its an x-ray photon.
