'can't you just hear the electrons thanking me'. Salt proceeds to spell out RIP (9:09)
Nice catch ;)
thanks for the catch, i actually missed it 😂
So I was not the only one to notice that XD
goddamn
Wow! Nice catch!!
Props to him for releasing the electrons after they were inprisoned for years.
Only to condemn them to being awkwardly confined in chloride ion orbitals.
Mmm. Just one orbital to another though... I was sad for the loss, then RIP happened. Sucks to be the electron right now, maybe, have to ask them
But they aren’t imprisoned. They’re entangle with free electrons. No electron has an identity.
I have lots of flash drives literally trapping electrons in their wells for years
Being as elections move at the speed of light or close to. Time dilation would make it only a moment trapped in the electrons time.

@@MustachedEmu "That's my secret... I'm a pretty cool guy."
"See that's me Smashing. Cool.
So, you're probably wondering, How did I turn green?
Well, when you eat irradiated 🧂, the physical changes your body experiences are quantified by...." 😂 I can clearly see how this video would go. I was thinking, how's he going to discern the salt all over his table now from the regular salt?What would happen if he ate it? You answered perfectly 😂
Actual LOL! :D
French physicist here: "de Broglie" is actually pronounced something like "broil". Even for French people, the spelling does not give any clues to the actual pronunciation. The de Broglie are an old nobility family who basically made up how their name should sound like.
In any case, amazing demo coupling thermoluminescence to the wave-particle duality. Excellent work!
Just call him Sir Broccoli.
Yeah, I heard that he postulated this thing in his doctoral thesis and then had no other contributions to science after that, even though he could had just ran with it and develop the whole quantum theory himself. Or at least wave mechanics.
I would argue that it should sound more like "broi" (pronouncing it in english) since the "L" is not pronounced
In India we were taught to pronounce " Dee brog lee" or " De Broy" ...
here in indonesia they told us it was pronounced balor....
Even salt prison uniform is orange!

Wut
_"Can't you just hear the electrons thanking me for releasing them from their prison"_ - and enslaving them to the eternal servitude of a Chlorine ion? I don't think so.
🤣
Nah. Chlorine has a very loose attitude towards its "Servants".😂
So it got married?
Its a new house so change prisons
A box? Pathetic! I can hold an electron in the palm of my hand!!!!!
Or can you 🧐
*typical Vsauce glare intensifies*
In fact I'm holding millions of them right now
but u didn't trap it lol
I hold neutrons, which is why "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."

If you dissolved the salt in water, would it also release the electrons? If it does would it show as light or no, because you're not providing enough energy.
wondering the same, drop it in water
Good question mate
I asked the same and then found your ask.
I don't think the heat energy is important as the electrons exist in a quantum level so the same energy should be released however the electrons are untrapped... I think!
The orange color is because the electrons can CHANGE their energy, by going from one mode or state to another one. As he says, they absorb blue light, leaving the orange for us to see.
If you dissolve the salt in water, the available modes or states are all different.
There must be a positive ion somewhere. He mentioned a Cl2, but no positive ion. Must be a Na+ somewhere.
That was one of the coolest demonstrations ever! In physics we studied the “particle in a box” as an idealization but never thought there was an actual application.
On the flip side, when you heated the salt, I think you were demonstrating the effect of quantum tunneling! So cool!
Quantum tunnelling? I thought that was incredibly rare or is that only on the macroscopic level?
@@sprightlyrandom1550Depends on the amount of tunneling.
If the region of space to go through where the potential hill is higher than the energy of the particle, is very thin, and the degree to which the hill exceeds the energy of the thing is rather small, then, shouldn’t be especially uncommon, I think?
@@sprightlyrandom1550it depends on the system of course. you don't need to go too deep into physics or math to be able to solve Schrodinger's equation for a particle in a finite potential well - if you do that, you'll find that there's actually a nonzero probability that the particle's position is measured outside of the potential well even though its energy is lower than the potential. this is quantum tunneling of course. if i remember correctly the solution is parameterized by the width of the well, the potential, and a single quantum number (in 1d). you can probably find it online
Excellent presentation.
This vindicates those mandatory "particle in a box" exercises we all solved in freshman physics.
You could literally show this to a 6 year old and tell them, in a way, that this is magic/fairy dust. Explain it to them and get them interested in the lab early on in life!
Or you can show it to uncontacted tribe and became their leader (or you will be eaten for magic)
@@chmod7559
Probably the latter
pretty stupid; I read science books on my own at age 4, and I didn't need adults lying to me via erroneous explanations to get interested in physics or science. Stop treating children as retards and treat them as actual people merely with less life experience
Having less life experience does not hinder one's ability to understand physics, science, or mathematics. Must be why I taught myself calculus at age 14 by just reading the same book as Feynman. I ignored high school and school, because you cannot actually teach anyone anything; a person can only teach themselves. School is an utter waste of time and is a huge detriment to the actual development of intelligent people
The people who say teachers are one of the most important people in society because they educate the next generations are absolute morons; teachers do not educate anything. They brainwash. And when a 'student' claims they could only learn because of a good teacher, that is a sign that they are utterly incapable of learning or understanding anything.
The notion that humans cannot understand something unless a 'good teacher' teaches it is absolutely absurd. Actual learning happens when a person studies a topic ON THEIR OWN. I never learned a single thing in school, or college. And a true learner also contributes to the field; and the next learner, who teaches themselves, merely reads and studies this material on their own, so no, reading a textbook and solving problems and exercises is not being taught by a good teacher. It is merely reading the previous generations thoughts and ideas on the topic, whilst the new learner messes around and discovers things for themselves.
For instance, I would derive the equations in multivariate calculus on my own after treading the textbook, but not looking at the step-by-step derivation. For instance, I easily derived the formula for the curvature of a parametric curve in three dimensional space.
You may claim such a derivation is simple, and it is, but deriving it on one's own is another level, and such a level should be strived for! This is TRUE LEARNING (and saying this is not a 'no true Scotsman fallacy;' oafs constantly misapply fallacies, thinking it destroys the opponent merely by finding a fallacy, but even if this was a fallacy, my claims are not wrong (but it isn't a fallacy anyway) I had to pre-empt this, for many respond as such, but if I wrongly assumed you would respond as such, I apologize in advance).
Where were those teachers whe I was a kid? 😭
You don’t have kids.

Great stuff, I’m 36 and still feel like a kid sometimes watching your videos enthralled with learning new things.
That is a pricey way of making a salt-lamp.

Why am I the only person who liked this
Would you get the same sparkle if you dissolved the irradiated salt in water?
I watch a ton of science shows, but I never took science in college. When ever somebody asks why, and it's about something I saw that you did I can explain it because you showed me how it works and I don't need an equation to explain it. "can't you just hear the electrons thanking me for releasing them from their prison". Your videos might be short but easy to understand. Thank you so much.
This is one of the coolest videos I ever watched on this channel.

🗣️Action lab breaking heisenberg with this one
haven't seen mr heisenberg around since this dropped💅🏽
4:20 action lab trying to become styropyro 😂😂😂
Now repeat this experiment near a cloud chamber to check if the electrons are visible
I would have thought that the released electron would interact with the nearest Chlorine ion so unlikely that you would spot any released electrons outside of the salt.
Most will still be stuck inside salt probably, but I wouldn't be surprised if some did manage to escape
Their energy is far too low, a cloud chamber track a thousands of ionized molecules, and these electron can’t even escape their sodium box.
"Yep, tastes like radiation" 💀

Nice videos, wish you to find better advetiser

4:17 "The reason it gets its color is because it's been _blasted_ with gamma rays"
That explains the Hulk, no?
Ah, the famous orange Hulk! :D
@@mytube001 Different substances have different colors.
There is one! @@mytube001
Fascinating. Potassium chloride also changes color (from white to purple-brown) when irradiated with an electron beam, and was once used as the phosphor coating in special-purpose CRTs that would retain an image for a long time even after being turned off.
Such a substance is known as a scotophore or dark-trace phosphor, and the tubes were used in scientific apparatus to record data prior to the advent of digital storage. They would retain the displayed image for quite a long time (weeks or months) unless "erased" with heat or infrared light, giving plenty of time to analyse the data or simply photograph the image itself for later analysis.
Wait until he finds out that the electron might be found outside the box.
absolutely the best experiment in physics I've seen on RUclips!
"yep, tastes like salt"
"those are nuclear reactor levels, so its far beyond lethal dose to humans"
man, this guy sacrificed himself to give us the taste test
he also mentioned after the salt itself isnt radioactive. but still sounds funny
He isn"t human.
@@Fvhvygyty323 Not anymore.
maybe this is the beginning of cooking recipes, involving irradiated salt, bananas (for neutrinos), and heavy water. I'm sure there's some unexpected result you could get from D2O, maybe in baking?
@@mcpr5971 except from a slightly sweeter taste, I would say no. Chemical properties of D2O are different enough to influence proteins and cellular chemistry in high concentrations, but not that different that "normal" chemical processes should show significant effects.
"Yep, tastes like salt!"
Of course. Everything would taste like itself... whatever version or condition of itself it is at the moment.
I can hide a bunch of electrons inside a quark. Inside joke, I guess.
I find it rather satisfying that the light emission of this salt is similar to sodium lights
"De-BROY"
Yes, hearing "di brog liei" hurt my ears.
Oh Krunk I learned it as de broy lee. Gotta erase my earlier comment

You are very VERY smart.
I'm really glad you are helping teach people & testing out expensive lab setups for us poorfolk instead of becoming a gruntled scientist/substance abuser.
I saw a recent chemistry discovery that trapped an electron in a chemical bond (cubane?).
For your video on forbidden particle transitions (glow paint), I made a lampshade painted in the stuff trying to figure out how photon "batteries" work. It was a 200$ test so thank you for investing SO much into your equipment and supplies ANND SHOWING IT!!
*(warning possible stupid idea ahead) : Your video on entropy recently made me wonder if the light slit experiment is actually us 3D beings seeing a 4D phenomenon. Time travel seems very hard but so does grasping the concept of the dual particle/wave light photon stuff. let alone UV rays exciting photon energy levels so they can be stored for the future in plants.
- But why does it looks orange?
- You wouldn't understand.
Its got an orange vibe because it is indifferent to other colours.
When it all matches and works perfectly from what the equations tells us, THAT FEELING 😭

Electrons in the salt: "release meeeeeeee!! .........release meeeeeee!!"
the ball is more likely to be in the middle than the corner
Who says there's no such thing as free energy?
‘de Broaglee-yay’! Louis de Broglie has been a major figure in the development of quantum mechanics for very nearly a hundred years. Isn’t that time enough to find out how his name is pronounced?
He's uncertain
🤦♂
To be fair the proper pronounciation is nonsensical
The origin of the name is Italian and the French just made up a non phonetic pronunciation, because, well, that's a French thing.
At the end of the video, the lightened salt looks like “RIP” 😅
9:13 "Can't you just hear the electrons thanking me from freeing them from their eternal prison?" If you look at the exact snapshot, they actually told you "RIP".
So basically, if the therapist isn’t telling you what you want to hear, just change it. sorry, but that doesn’t sound helpful to me.
THAT'S what you took from the video?
So pick a therapist and stick with them forever regardless of how well it's working out.
See how dumb that might be?
There are a number of reasons it might be beneficial to switch up therapists. I had one once who talked in lengthy lectures; I left many sessions feeling unheard. Another would cancel too often. And sometimes one gives advice that doesn’t feel helpful.

Another really cool real world example of an electron in a box is in conjugated poly-enes! Essentially, the conjugated pi system acts as a box that traps an electron. As the conjugated system gets longer, similarly, there are more accessible energy levels. That might be a cool follow-up video to this one :)
This is just pure magic!
The DVD logo must be an electron in a box because it's never found in the corners.
You are the first person that makes me understand so much. Thank you, it been a while

Favorite science demos on RUclips. The end was almost mesmerizing.
I've learnt few concepts in this video in my highschool.And thanks for making this even better understanding ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was surreal.
Fantastique! But my brain hurts always when quantum physics start..
-so while some electron are trapped in this boxes-their chlorium+ ions wander around- is the salt overall neutral or positive?
-when you put the salt on a hot plate, the electrons release an orange light-is this by hazard the same color as the salt before? Why is the emitted light not blue?
-Why is the salt not radioactive?
Best Action Lab video ever

This is my favorite video of yours that I’ve seen so far, … and I’ve watch A LOT of your vids! Thanks so much for your channel and hard work.
this is how science should be presented, mix of the wondrous with educational, love it👍
How much energy is being stored? Possible battery idea?
i love the irradiated salt experiment. one of the only things i remember from high school lol
Quantum physics is more like an unpredictable thing because it works at real time, is affected by even the smallest disturbance of any variable and changes if you look "harder" but all it ends up being is counting every grain of sand vs weighing the whole beach at once
I always learn something new from you, thanks!
Hey. Just a question you might be able to make a video about. So, if there's a room connected to another room and both had the lights off, but then in room one you turn the light on. Now, here's the question. Is room two brighter or darker? It's brighter because more light is coming in, but it's darker because there's less darkness around it, so it seems to be darker. This is just a question I've been wondering about because I have a bathroom connected to my bedroom, so I experience it every day, and I think the concept is just really cool.
One of the more cooler things I've even seen, especially understanding the why!
Awesome video, it blew my mind, thank you.
Fun fact, almost all boxes have electrons trapped in them.
I understand we all know this is just normal particle physics at work. At the same time, it is legitimate magic imo. We all take it for granted.
6:05 I see harmonic partials!!
Leaning into this further, it’s these quantized discrete energy levels combined with wave-particle duality that is one of the fundamental paradigms of QM/QFT and how we can for instance extend and combine maxwells equations (classical), the Standard Model (QM) and special relativity to arrive at QED, or explain the discrete probabilistic spatial distribution of the electron orbitals/principal energy levels.
Macroscpoc particles have my sympathy.
They apparently don't ever move particularly fast, even in DC lines. It's the field that moves at the speed of light or something, apparently.
And there i was thinking it was pronounced "de Broy"
This is a beautiful experimental demonstration of the 'Particle in a Box' problem in Quantum Mechanics that is taken up as a first problem. It's a fine example of theory and experimentation going hand in hand, which is absolutely crucial for real science.
If the resonant frequency of the trapped electron is blue, why does it radiate orange light under heating? Is it because the electron takes the blue light equivalent of energy from the hot plate to ‘escape’ the box and therefore radiates the excess energy as orange light(white-blue)?
As I understand it the absorbed blue color corresponds to the jump from box-level-0 up to box-level-1. The emitted color corresponds to the jump from box-level-0 down to the unbound state. They are different transitions, and it's a coincidence that they show similar colors.
That one electron: 'I don't recognise the outside world anymore - I wanna go back to Salt Quentin.'
