Science itself is amoral and is just study; it's what people choose to do with this information that can lead to problems. The physicist/KZbinr Sabine Hossenfelder put it perfectly: "Science does not say that you shouldn't pee on high voltage electrical lines; it says that urine is an excellent conductor." :b

@@technomage6736 ... sorry my friend, but you're incorrect. like i pointed out, science LIES all the time. they lie for hire. they lie for whoever pays them. if they didn't lie they'd never be hired again. that's why science for profit is so dangerous and returning to the scientific method is so important. science is supposed to be about 2 things, and 2 THINGS ONLY - the search for truth and the betterment of the human condition. its failed in both objectives.

atoms The basic idea that matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles is an old idea that appeared in many ancient cultures such as those of Greece and India. The word atom is derived from the ancient Greek word atomos,[a] which means "uncuttable

I've always had this feeling that my whole life and all of my experiences including the interactions with every single person I have ever known have been but a dream. Like he said, ancient Indian philosophers and eastern religion had been right about the fleeting unreality of it all.

[@glorideefaithperez2858]

Eastern philosophy basically says everything is happening in consciousness, and there is no physical universe. It seems the current scientific understanding is, "we know it all, as far as physical particles go, but the other 95% of the Universe, we have no idea what's going on". Do objects exist, independant of us looking? What does Quantum Physics say about that question? These conjectures on the nature of "Reality" even troubled Einstein.

@@TywinLannister666 Physical science has limits to what it can investigate. What it can know. Eastern philosophy claims what science cannot know is detectable via personal inner search, which awakens the dormant human abilities of intuition.

@@glorideefaithperez2858 you’re describing metaphysics, very interesting but shouldn’t be brought into a scientific discussion. One of the major tenants of science is that it needs to be falsifiable, which metaphysics isn’t. Nothing wrong with pondering on it, but if it inherently cannot be disproven, than it’s a folly to entertain the thought (from a scientific point of view). Obviously personal beliefs are different.

[@RemedialRob]

Imagine the hubris of detailing the many mistaken assumptions of the past in defining the smallest, "uncuttable" particle and then proudly declaring at the end "we've finally reached the bottom of the rabbit hole."

Excellent. Besides the science & physics, I really appreciated hearing of and seeing the people, the scientists and physicists, who, from the first ideas to the latest discoveries, incrementally brought us to today's level of understanding. Thank you

[@striker22343]

It's all a bit relative right? "Reality" or whatever name you choose to encompass the totality of everything may only be rippling and bubbling waves in fields, but the composition of those fields is still as real as the smallest ripples. It's the continued and consistent evolving association of such compositions that in effect become the emergent wider world. Even if the world is an "illusion" of sorts it still seems pretty real, or at least the present moment seems very real from one moment to the next. Idk it's late I need some sleep.

[@nct948]

my exact feelings, expressed better than I can! The ripples which make our reality seem to combine for a very long time . No, I don't understand that notion of illusion of our reality.

Result of quantum field interacting with each other, in the end, nothing is real. Really mind-boggling. Enjoyed every second of this video.👌

Great! Genuinely I really enjoyed this production. I liked the connections in history and the draw of disconnect from philosophy to modern science. I didn’t hear much about the Planck much and that was my only question.

I’ve taught k-12 students in countless classrooms from the Midwest to the West coast. I can only hope that some science teachers today will share this video with AP/honors students. The key is to pause it at certain points and have discussions with the students. This is really a great video. Thank you to all involved!

[@diegooland1261]

I get the AP suggestion but I find it offensive. What makes you think only those identified as such can benefit from this?

[@JH-en6ql]

Wow, great video! I've always imagined fundamental particles as energy blips in various fields, that move as waves based on its probability distribution, except when interacting with other fundamental particles, which then causes them to resolve to one point in spacetime to appear as a particle. I appreciate your insight that when they come together, what we see is actually the combined interference pattern of those fields. Never contemplated this -- thanks for that insight! Would love to see a video on time, and the implications if time were quantized, perhaps to the Planck time, and what that means if state changes only occur in increments of that Planck time.

[@garthwright4064]

Stop! You're melting my brain! O.o I prefer stairs to be solid things when I walk up them, not some energy waves, no more substantial than sunlight. xD

[@mnomadvfx]

I think of them more as waves of varying frequency constrained by fields that give them mass, charge etc.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@garthwright4064 They're still solid though because usually ach particle repels the other like magnets of the same polarity, unless some atoms have missing electons and the other atoms have more electrons than they need. Each atom has a set number of protons and electrons in its stable state to have a net neutral charge - when in that stable state the electron cloud of one atom will repel the electron cloud of another. There are various forces that can cause particles to attach to each other without electron-electron hole bonds such as Van der Waals (seen famously on gecko feet), but generally they follow this electromagnetic effect of repulsion.
