    Hello! There's a new version of this video! Take a look here: ruclips.net/p/PLyu4Fovbph6e0oPk9ch3q2II9a8BT8gfL
    The remaster fixes the audio and a few embarrassing mis-speaks.

      But don't we emit IR photons? 😋

    This is probably the best introduction to quantum mechanics I've seen, and I've seen a lot. It explains the what and the why in a very elegant way. More people need to see this!

    I've been dabbling in physics for about 8 years and this is one of the best videos I've ever come across to really hit home electromagnetism in a deep and intuitive way. And this is clearly because you have a deep intuitive understand of the nature of reality and a wonderful passion, ability to convey it. unfortunately through science text books and some lectures what is actually happening in reality it get lost to abstraction! You have a gift for communication!

    I enjoy listening to these, thanks for making a great playlist. FYI (not super important to the topic, but) the solenoid doesn't go back and forth to turn the engine. The solenoid closes the circuit between battery and starter motor, so that the little switch in your steering column doesn't need to have hundreds of amps running through it. :)

  • @Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time

    Love the videos!!! Light has geometry, we have Huygens’ Principle of 1670, that says: “Every point on a wave front has the potential for a new spherical wave”. I have read that the electron is spherical and charge is equally spaced on the surface of a sphere. Even fire takes on a spherical shape in zero gravity!

      @@BertMontiagodo lightning moves on path of least resistance between different charge points, kind of like water in a river being influenced hills and depressions, except for electrons it's charge and resistance. Light's (a photons) trajectory can only be influenced by gravity, magnetism or a transparent or reflective matter.

    How atoms reflect light ?

    • @JasonKendallAstronomer
      @JasonKendallAstronomer  3 года назад +4

      They actually absorb and re-emit the light. A smooth surface makes a coherent reflection because all the atoms and molecules are in a regular lattice which assures that this process is “the same” among all. To learn more look up Feynman’s lectures.
