I’m surprised you guys didn’t talk about neutron stars. They’re probably the most dense bunches of matter in the universe after black holes. After reaching the pressures of a neutron star, electrons quite literally FUSE with the protons in the nucleus of an atom turning all protons into neutrons. A neutron star consists of what is known as “nuclear pasta” and it would’ve been cool to see you guys cover that.

[@willow7466]

The reason they didn't would prob fall under the reasoning that all of that info is purely theoretical and untested, electrons as compared to protons and neutrons, are technically unobserveable, and even now we only have a "good idea" of how they work. Such is the complexity of being tiny.

[@resilientis]

Because that is theoretical physics we can only observe and predict some calculations. These are real life experiments, where you actually can see the effects of these enormous pressures on every day substances. I think that kept the subjects separated for this reason

Started the video, intro ran, subscribe button pressed. The production quality is amazing. Keep up the good work, team!

[@Mj382-d73]

I loved how you went into detail about the hexagonal shape of Ice and the different Ice-Types. As a Material-Scientist and Crystallography-Major it was amazing to see my (often forgotten) field in broader Media.

As a College-Student, maybe you should learn to write without so many Hyphens and Capital-Letters.

[@HercadosP]

​@@Raging.Geekazoidnah, crystallographers and structural biochemists have this ability that allows them to visualize how proteins rotate from a 3d model. It is like being on meth and shrooms, can't expect them to write after that

I love how well animated this is. It's so simple and easy to digest

[@carloseduardocorreiagatell610]

This is arguably one of the best videos I've seen on this platform in terms of storytelling and production. Amazing job!

[@Pearloryx]

Taking a break from watching brain rot content and watching theses types of content is the best decision I’ve ever done

[@Blackbird_42]

This was excellent and I hope there are many more. Frontier science. Great animation. Friendly fun host. Excellent tone and visuals. I especially liked the stop motion paper molecules. Excellent topic to start with, basically encompassing the whole of the universe just to be summed up in that ending shot. Brilliant 👏. ❤

[@nathanstatham]

This video is so well put together. Better quality than some of the stuff I've seen on TV. Well done and easy to understand!

[@shelby6745]

Using the actual sound of the sub imploding was very immersive

[@RingoBars]

Absolute TOP-TIER production value on this! From the content & context to the animations and music. Marvelous work.

[@DaulphinKiller]

Really nice job! I was hoping you'll keep the journey going, to get to neutron matter (as in neutron stars), quark-gluon plasma and eventually black hole! Indeed, I believe one can show that there is no way to reach particular pressure values without involving an energy density sufficiently large that you would create a black hole. Some sort of "Planck pressure" if you wish, although pressure being intrinsically a macroscopic thermodynamics quantity, its proper definition would require a bit of care.

What's the name of the song and artist used on the outro? Just letting you know, Vox beat Shazam with that song. Shazam could not identify that song.

[@n0_ah]

Adam Cole - Lump of Coal; But there is no full release of the song. It seems it was only made for this KZbin video. However, there is a reddit thread with Adams credentials and it seems he is considering making a full release if there is enough interest.

[@CrniWuk]

What's also interesting, as far as my knowledge goes, that pressure can also be reversed. Like if you would get some element from a neutron stars surface, maybe a table spoon which is so much compressed mater that it is equal to the weight of Mount Everest and somehow let it appear on the surface of earth it would decompress at such a force that it would cause some serious detonation equivalent with a very large nuclear explosion.

[@E4439Qv5]

I like the use of the world "nuclear" in this context.

[@paveltovv]

It does make sense but what youre talking about is perhaps teleportation

[@CrniWuk]

@@paveltovv It's obviously just a thought experiment. But the idea to compress matter to such extreme physical properties isn't really in the realm of possibilities for us either. So it's just the logical conclussion that if you had some material compressed by gravity it will contain all the energy from the compression which would be released instantly if gravity would ever dissappear for some reason. Like as if you would open a decompression champer.

[@LoLFaceFTW]

As an astrophysicist, working on a new method for propulsion using pressure, I’m blown away by the way this is demonstrated! The accuracy of the science behind this is astonishing!

Was that song at the end an original? If it wasn't, props to whoever found it because it was literally the perfect song for this video. And if it was, props to whoever wrote it because it was literally the perfect song for this video...😀

[@jayski9410]

When they first started looking for gravity waves, I asked one of the researchers what form of matter a neutron start was. (gravity waves can be produced when 2 neutron stars merge) It turns out the answer is pretty complex because the pressure gradient from the surface to the core is ridiculously intense. But this is what I thought of as your story ended. Why stop at the core of the sun? Let's go all the way to t core of a neutron star.

[@eliaswiedner9695]

Great video! I’ve been wondering, I know the bottom of the ocean isnt quite comparable to the center of the sun, but is it possible to use the pressure of the whole ocean to help force nuclear fusion reactions?

Water molecules becoming a conductor under extreme high pressure just blow my mind. I've never thought hydrogen atoms can act as equivalent of free electrons of metal. Gosh this is soooo cool!

[@mikejosef2470]

Yeah I never heard of that either. I wonder if it's the whole atom or is it the proton that carries the charge... "Anti-electricity"?

Only recently discovered that electrified plasma can manifest in liquid water

[@richardwebb9532]

Matter is energy. Energy is matter. Learned this in high school science class. 👍🍻

[@fuzzblightyear145]

@@mikejosef2470 it's due to the electron shells being so smooshed together that the orbitals can merge and so electrons can flow between the molecules where they normally could not. The opposite effect to the sodium, where their outer electron orbitals get smooshed so that the stop overlapping as they do under normal conditions. So freaking weird when you go to these extremes
