I found your colored handouts, the way you broke down the notes into easy to follow examples, and demonstrations to make even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. You are 1 of the teachers in my life that really made a lasting difference. So thank you. I am happy to see you and your channel are doing so well.

People get confused with one thing, we can't see atoms not because we don't have enough technology or understanding of what a atom is. Is just because "to see" has no meaning at all in the scale of atoms. Is just like trying to figure out what is portraited in a picture throwing cannon balls at it. But we are not limited to vision that is why mathematics is so important, we can "see" things mathematically infinitely times better than with our eyes. For exemple, most part of the computer/smartphone you are using to read this coment isn't possible to be made or make sense looking at it piece by piece, but we can make sense of it with mathematics. Quantum mechanics looks weird when we try to make sense of it with our senses, mathematically it is beatiful (I find it beatiful at least). Mathematics is our new eye, our senses that opens our mind to a much bigger and fuller world.

Yeah sure this is correct.. But still, its a mystery. It can not be compared to a computer with ones and zero turning into images. Just because us building a computer, is using atoms in a way we can explain. Computers are actually very simple, so is everything we created from atoms. Yes, you do need the knowledge. But atoms we still can not explain, same goes for energy in atoms. What you are saying is just a psychological comparison. It does not explain anything. And also, we define maths, we did not create it.

What he was describing is that we need to move on from the Bohr model to the Orbital one. There the electrons get smeared into shapes of probability’s; taking on shapes we can better understand. The s, d, p and f orbitals have these weird ball and hoop shapes which can interact and hybridize together to make atomic bonds. The Orbitals are the representation of the energy level an electron can assume. Because of their spin, only two electrons can exist in one place, forcing more electrons to take up space further and further out from the core, looking, when simplified, like the Bohr model. Wikipedia has a good explanation plus pretty pictures if you want to know more.

As a long-time "type 1" diabetic, I frequently suffer extreme "sugar lows", sometimes down into the 40's. After eating sugar and as I start to come out of these sugar lows, just for a few seconds (20 or so), I can "see" what looks like an atom in my field of vision. Its not really there, but I can see it hoovering before my eyes; or rather, hoovering inside of my eyes. The image has a core with several oscillating layers flying around the core. These layers are just like the energy levels depicted in this youtube video. The oscillation seems to pulse very rapidly as generated light flashes between spectrums of lighter to darker; the leading edge of the pulse being the brightest. Its so bright that it's hard to focus on it without wondering if I might damage my eye just by looking at it. After a few seconds the image fades into the surrounding ambient light. This phenomenon is the coolest thing you could ever imagine.

Good info. only after watching several QM documentaries and explanation videos did I finally realize that particles are not waves, only their properties are. And only recently did I realize that a particle doesn't exist, only its properties do. And that led me to discover that all particles and energies exists only as a group of vibrations always resonating somewhere on the electromagnetic spectrum... All light, heat,, sound, taste, and texture are made up of the same thing: vibration. They only differ n frequency and wavelength. Since then I've been making new discoveries of knowledge everyday. Learning the above really is they key to unlocking the universe's mysteries.

nazra7 I came to the same realizations you describe but through a different process... I took a bunch of magic mushrooms and experienced it directly. The other major realization I had was that everything, and I do mean everything, is mind or consciousness if you will. There is mind and awareness of it, and that's it... The rest is simply what mind is doing.

I think the particle exists but not as a kind of 'thing' but as an elementary excitation of something called the electron field, figuratively as the lowest possible oscillation of a guitar or violin string (this is just an image not to take too seriously).

Excellent post, and this is dead on for our understanding on particles. There is no sexy way to portray these things in pictures, they are understood by their properties.
@alphagt626 жыл бұрын
I understand your explanation more than his. I noticed as a child that all energies are measured as waves. Sound waves, light waves, magnetic waves, x-ray waves, they all oscillate in sine wave fashion. I also recall seeing a electron microscope photo of gold, it looked just like little yellow balls jammed together, so, it’s not just properties, they actually exist. You can see the outer orbits, or whatever the outside edge of an atom is. String theory may never be provable, but it sure seems likely.

In my humble opinion the future is based on thought or choice,,, by a mind, or something that started a chain reaction of an original thought. (God) like the information in DNA was created and not random or started by chance. So far Kent Hovind explained it best,,, "In the beginning...." (the big bang) before that no human comprehension of time, space and matter.

Very nice, whirlwind-speed excursion through 2+ millennia of physics & chemistry, in 8 minutes!! You could've gone 10 times as long, and still not stopped to take a breath! But who would even *begin* to watch that? With my main training being in physics, with an earlier interest in chemistry, I appreciate the discoverers you included here; I was, however, half expecting some sort of shout-out to Mendeleev and Dalton. But actually, I think you did well to leave them out, in order to keep to your main objective - just WHAT? does an atom "look like?" That's a question much more about physics than chemistry. Thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Thanks!!! Fred

She loves science and knows a lot about it including a basic knowledge of atoms. I taught her about atoms using the basic model of electrons orbiting the nucleus, so this will probably grab her interest as well since it obviously isn't quite what we thought it was. Thanks for sharing!

After all these years of listening to audiobooks about quantum physics, I finally got some idea of what it means to "collapse the wave function". I always believed that when the wave function "collapsed" it fell flat. But now I see that its "probability wave" simply gets narrower in a "vertical" way, not in a horizontal way. Dah.
@jesseinfinite5 жыл бұрын
To be more precise collapse of a wave function is synonymous to measuring something. Before you've measured something, in Quantum mechanics, we assume, that the particle has every single energy imaginable. So before measurement, that graph that you saw, is very random. After measuring, you get a result. That's why the energy of the atom instead of being super random, just becomes a singular line(with a bit of uncertainity) That's what collapsing of a wave function means, getting a particular value. Like once you do the measurement, you will actually know how much energy it has 2 units, 3 units, etc. Before measurement, the particle had every single energy that's possible for it to have .
