    Watch a video of Paul Dirac giving a lecture and compare it with this. Dirac was undoubtedly one of the greatest physicists the world has seen but, as a speaker, he had very low energy and kind of droned on. This video covers a vast amount of information yet it maintains a high level of energy for over an hour. I also enjoy the chronological / historical approach to learning scientific theory as I find it makes the material that much more fascinating. These men in the 1920’s changed the world forever with the power of their minds. Thank you Fernando for your strong work and lively presentation. You earned my subscription.

      @@HighlyEntropicMind Welcome to the club. I say that while some run through the forest and go on happy and well, we learn it through and out, so there's no need to steer clear of it or hurry anymore. All the beasts are known, trees numbered, paths remembered, nights cherished, and you wonder why it was so difficult at the first glance. In other words, you cannot teach something well if you don't understand it deeply, and so you behave freely, and it gives space for jokes and other stuff.

I was great at solving the Calc equations, but I never even really understood (until recently) that the basics of calculas theory even in that it provides a framework to "calculate" area/volume in a sometimes dynamic context.

    Another big dub. Excellent work Fer. I now understand why electrons can both behave like waves (when they emit energy) and like individual particles (due to the specific frequencies/energies of orbits). I have more questions than ever, and I cannot wait for your next video. Keep pushing, brother.

      One question is this: I know you explained it in the video but maybe it went over my head. What exactly is ‘m’ and ‘loopy l’. I understand ‘n’ is the energy level or orbital of the electron, but I’m confused on those two variables specifically. Also, why is M confined to -1, 0, and 1

    • @HighlyEntropicMind
      @HighlyEntropicMind  10 месяцев назад +2

      @@adamcorrigan1939 Curvy l represents angular momentum, basically, the speed at which the electron spins around the nucleus. Just keep in mind that to know the actual momentum you have to use the formula shown in the video (the one Sommerfeld found)
      Now, m is just the orientation of this orbit. This is easy to visualize as a 2D loop tilted in some direction... But then when you actually do the math to find the shape of the orbits, you find the spherical harmonics, which are not 2D loops, but 3D shells, and the electron could be anywhere on it
      The important part is that regardless of where in the orbit the electron is you know (roughly) at what distance from the nucleus it is (n), how fast is it moving (curvy l), and how much of that momentum is in the direction of the magnetic field (m), or how much momentum would be in the direction of the magnetic field, if there was one

      @adamcorrigan1939 10 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for the explanation. I would like to see an explanation for the orbital of a magnetic or unstable element to compare it to the stable silver one. Also I guess what still is confusing me is why m can have a value of 2/-2? Is that electron feeling twice the force of the magnetic field? If so, is this double force due to direction of alignment of the harmonic sphere as you described?

    • @HighlyEntropicMind
      @HighlyEntropicMind  10 месяцев назад

      @@adamcorrigan1939 Remember that the suborbit has an axis of rotation. Now, imagine two arrows like two hands on a clock, with the same origin but pointing in different directions. One of this arrows is the direction of magnetic field, the other is the axis of rotation. Now imagine we were to shine a light so that we could see the shadow of the axis of rotation projected onto the arrow of the arrow of the magnetic field
      The size of this shadow is quantized, this is the quantum number m. Depending on the orientation of the orbit this number will be larger or smaller
      Now when m is negative it means that the axis of rotation is pointing down, that means that the electron is spinning in the opposite direction

    Just a quick historic note to this very nice video. One of the ways Bohr convinced others (and Einstein is one of these from his correspondence) was Bohr’s explanation of the Pickering-Fowler lines, which is one of the first examples of high-precision measurements. Pickering, an astronomer, found Hydrogen-like spectra, but with half-odd integer quantum numbers in special stars. Fowler did experiments on earth and found the lines only occurred when helium was present. To tell the difference in the spectra, one uses the reduced mass, and the mass of Helium worked better than hydrogen at the fourth digit of accuracy in the wavelengths. Experiments had just about this precision, and showed the lines came from Helium, not hydrogen. Einstein said to have this agreement means the theory must be right. But, of course, that was incorrect, as Bohr’s theory was later superseded with modern quantum mechanics.
