    Brian Cox is the ultimate popularizer of empirical reductionism. To him, everything can be reduced to some kind of material property. Still explaining the physical nature of reality to 8-year-olds.

    I think that JJThompson did not discover the mass of the electron. But he did find the ratio of mass to charge. It took some later experiments with electrons on oil drops to separate the two. This was by a bloke called Millikan in the USA?

  • @TheMachian
    @TheMachian 6 лет назад +1

    The experiment at 3:00 cannot determine the electron's mass, because the deflection just depends on the ratio of the accelerating to the deflecting voltage, electron charge and mass cancels out. You need a magnetic field to measure the electron mass.

    Is there an upper limit to the size of an atom, before gravity starts combining protons and neutrons?
    I've heard in here that quarks don't make up all the mass of a neutron/proton, if so what does?

    Why do people keep making religion and science polar opposites? It just so happens that I'm a nuclear engineer and a christian. Just because I'm a scientist doesn't mean I believe in this extremely hypothetical big-bang theory, and just because I believe in God doesn't mean I don't believe in the standard model and scientific reasoning. Stopping making a war out of them.

    @uscovenant2350 3 года назад +1

    That ending really clicked well with me. Forces and I think he said "forces stack" which makes me believe that's why gravity becomes stronger the more mass any object has. I mean we know that there's a direct correlation between mass and gravity. The earth's gravity is strong enough to keep the moon in orbit. While the Sun, being the mass of like 98% of the whole solar system, keeps all the planets in orbit AND all the far off dwarf planets that orbit the Sun. More like Asteroids and exo moons. And lastly- the black hole at the galactic center keeping the incredibly huge galaxy spinning. I think, gravity stacks from the smallest to the largest.

    In Kenneth W.Ford's "101 Quantum Questions" 2011 edition,p.186, he said"...what myriad other experiments confirm---is that a particle acts as a particle when it is created and annihilated (emitted and absorbed) and acts as a wave in between.......we just have to give up the idea that a photon is a particle at any moment other than the moments of its birth and death." For a Muon, the period of birth and death is 2.2 x 10^ -6 second. For Pion, this is 2.6 x 10^-8( + & -) and 8 x 10^ -17 (0), similarly short for Lambda, Sigma, Omega, Eta and Kaon particles (Table A.1 and A.4 of Ford's book) So, are these particles or waves,and should we call it waves physics instead of particle physics?

    Donna Blakeney has included this two part video in a 60 part playlist called "Crash Course Physics. Unfortunately and although the playlist probably has all the useful components of a crash course in physics, it doesn't seem as if it has been compiled in any particular order which is a shame.
    I am looking for a decently interesting (not some university course) playlist I can refer to my daughter to encourage her interest in physics. I think that she is kind of losing interest because she can't get a sense of continuity in all the information that seems to be bombarding her in the class, media and on the web.
    So, if any one knows of a one or a set of playlists that help, please let me know.

    The fabric of space does not provide the reactions associated with vacuum mechanics. It is, in fact, a compression derivative. Non-diatomically coupled hydrogen, to be precise. Atomically separated matter deserves a place in these discussions, however, it needs to be done outside of classified institutions and agencies.
    The electron is not a particle. It is a light wave response to opposing electromagnetic fields colliding. The photon, ion and graviton are all based on differing views of this reaction.

  • @marezidxiv
    @marezidxiv 5 лет назад

    Hi there:
    The point: inside star cores the protons fuse H to He, DESPITE their mutual homo electrostatic repulsion: time, density and pressure force them to. How come in the same places the protons DO NOT fuse with electrons because of their hetero electrostatic attraction: all the right conditions are proven by the proton-proton fusion chain. Ultimately at the Chandrasekhar boundary the electrons fuse with protons: Pauli principle cannot prevent that, on those conditions.
    But why doesn't this happens in main sequence star cores ?
    What is the barrier that prevents proton & electron fusion before the Chandrasekhar mass/gravity boundary ?
    Could it be that the Coulomb law is somehow invalid for proton to electron interaction, at densities present into mid sequence star cores ? Despite the fact that proton to proton interaction exists ?
    I imagine one proton precisely standing between to diametral opposed electrons: could it be that electron to electron exclusion force is higher at range X then the electron to proton attraction at range X/2 ? Could it be that the "exclusion repulsion" between the electrons is higher than the electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the proton ? We all know that plasma is electrically neutral, as proton population matches electron population.
    The Coulomb law is requisite for survival of the atoms as we understand them. It proofs that minimal range of its validity is on the order of magnitude of the atomic nucleus ( nuclear fission ). So what is wrong about the proton to electron attraction at ranges smaller then the radius of the H atom ?

      Somerandomdude4.2526 Because it placed a tiny TINY amount of mass in a HUGE area, the alpha particle should pass through. Imagine in this video that the apple had been broken into tiny pieces and spread across a kilometre - you would expect everything to go through it! BUT if it was all concentrated into one apple in the middle, other things would bounce off it.

    • @CayLundberg
      @CayLundberg 10 лет назад

      The key word is "amorphous". It's the difference between a solid and a gas.
      If you throw a drop of water at a cloud of room temperature water vapor it would pass right through. Do the same against a block of ice and it would "bounce" (or at least not pass through).
      The muffin model imagined the positive charge of atoms as a cloud of charge in which the electrons move around. If that is true then a positively charged object such as particles from radio active decay should always pass right through. Later experiments showed that this isn't true and that particles sometimes bounce hence it can not be a cloud.
      Make sense?

  • @leonmaliniak
    @leonmaliniak 6 лет назад +1

    I have never understood the logic of concluding that by breaking up certain definitive coherent sub-atomic particles like electrons or protons and seeing them splitting up into smaller parts in a particle accelerator ...this automatically means that these smaller particles are DIFFERENT types of sub-atomic particles.
    Should we not just consider that these are mere smaller fragments of the SAME particle ? If you split up a BRICK and it breaks into thousands of pieces, those little pieces are pieces of the same brick material...are they NOT ?
    I am hoping that someone here will respond by telling me that when these particles are broken up in an accelerator that we eventually see the exact same type of smaller particles and that therefore this suggests that these are their own, separate, " defined " and different sub-atomic particles.
    If not...then my question remains and the significance of this would be that perhaps the constitution of matter is far simpler than what we think

    • @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid
      @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid 5 лет назад

      Doesn't it depend on what is discovered? Wouldn't it have been hard to predict television during the plum pudding era?
      We definitely will use gravity waves to peer inside where photons can't travel now that we have discovered them, although that's not a CERN thing.

    • @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid
      @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid 5 лет назад

      @Dirk Knight Bro I think you're reading too much into my original comment. Besides I don't think the way technology is marketed into practical applications has any bearing - the television would've been invented regardless, but not before the cathode ray tube was well understood.
      It's that progression that I was wondering out loud.
      The example I used of Ligo not only confirming Einstein but quantitatively measuring gravity waves, will lead to new ways of "looking" inside the sun and other stars. Anywhere photons are blocked, gravity interferometry will be useful.
      We're planning to put a larger interferometer into orbit which will open the doors to really good observations.
      Gravity waves should help immensely in understanding dark matter, and dark energy, since light doesn't interact with it gravity is the only game in town --how much do you think anti-gravity technology would be worth? However again my point isn't about making money but improving our lives (like television lol).

    • @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid
      @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid 5 лет назад

      @Dirk Knight Did I say I know all about it? I kinda said the opposite by wondering out loud how today's discoveries will affect us in 40 or 50 years time +.
      However I'm pretty sure gravity waves and gravitational waves are the exact same thing. If pressed I think you'll agree that's a pedantic objection to the overall conversation.
      You don't know shielding from gravity or antigravity violates anything in nature. Since we don't understand how dark energy works, which is a repulsive force mediator. For eg.
      But thanks for peppering my original point with opportunities for follow-up points!

    • @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid
      @A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid 5 лет назад

      @Dirk Knight Wow, you really think a lot of yourself. I thought you had recognized what a pedantic statement that was and I wouldn't need to press the issue...
      You're full of shit there is no difference between "gravity waves" and "gravitational waves" - and you're the one who is making the claim so why don't YOU look up 2 distinct definitions and post them here. You can't because you're wrong.
      And you are now refusing to follow the line of thinking here also. You insist on being the guy who says "heavier than air flight is impossible for obvious reasons." Usually that is true, except for when it's not: after the *invention* of the international combustion engine and the aerodynamic wing.
      You call yourself a science geek but you can't even envision localizing dark energy which permeates spacetime, the stuff which is accelerating the universe faster than light.
      All we "simply" need is a lens that can focus dark energy and you'd have the rudiments of antigrav.
      The POINT is that we don't yet know how future tech will work. I don't understand why you're going all in that there won't be any.

    What did Rutherford think alpha particles were? Obviously he didn't know they were two protons and two neutrons. I guess he knew they were positively charged, but I don't understand how he deduced from firing them at a thin gold sheet that the positive charge of the atom had to be in the nucleus and that it was so much smaller the atom itself.
    Wouldn't an atom as proposed by Thompson produce similar results?, i.e., the bouncing back of some of the alpha particles?

    Dirac established the most general theory of quantum mechanics and discovered the relativistic equation for the electron, which now bears his name. The remarkable notion of an antiparticle to each particle - i.e. the positron as antiparticle to the electron - stems from his equation. He was the first to develop quantum field theory, which underlies all theoretical work on sub-atomic or "elementary" particles today, work that is fundamental to our understanding of the forces of nature. He proposed and investigated the concept of a magnetic monopole, an object not yet known empirically, as a means of bringing even greater symmetry to James Clerk Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism.

    years ago, (i can comfortably say that as I turned 75 this year in February) I read that if you could expand model of a hydrogen atom till the nucleus was the size of a basket ball, the lone orbiting electron would be the size of a pea and that it would have an orbital radius of 20+ miles.. Then the author of the statement went on to say that there is (at that time) was nothing that explains why the electron continues to orbit?? Does that hold any water. Did it ever!! It sure helped me to see why hydrogen is soooooo light!!

    I assume by "inner structure" we're merely talking about the order/regularity of experience. Finite beings need inner structure because that's what makes the universe predictable. That predictability is necessary for the survival of al things. Arguably it also has an aesthetic value too. Secondly, the classic, western view of a supreme being posits God as existing "outside" of time or as existing in an eternal present. That would be merely one reason why boredom would not apply.

  • @racastilho

    How did Rutherford know that the alpha aprticles were not bouncing back because they hit the atoms themselves (and that atoms were indeed solid spheres)? And that particles that went through maybe pierced the atoms, or went around them?
    His interpretation is so amazingly significant for such a simple experiment, it almost seems a bit far fetched. Today we know it isn't far fetched, but how did they know then?

  • @clarencewright9841
    @clarencewright9841 5 лет назад

    the electron is traveling around the proton at the speed of light so it appears everywhere at all times, so it is as Rutherford said, it is like our planetary system

    A man in Alaska noticed that a cyclotron was going on the chopping block. He applied for and received three separate permits to operate this cyclotron in his basement. It turns out that it is extremely difficult to ship radioisotopes to Alaska.so this man had the idea of generating the medically needed isotopes right there in Alaska. The machine was shipped to Alaska and the man set it up and got it running. He, however, made a tragic mistake. He fell victim to pride. He was so proud of his machine that he invited his son’s high school science class to come and see the machine in operation. The kids didn’t understand what it was exactly,. All they knew was that it was a nuclear machine. Just the saying of that word strikes fear in the hearts of anybody who doesn’t know what it means. One of the kids who viewed the machine had a lawyer as a father, and that lawyer decided he could make his career by prosecuting this poor man in the court of public opinion. The lawyer won, the permits were rescinded, and a dream died.

    assuming the Higgs has been found, it still doesnt appear to explain gravity. the fact that a Higgs field gives objects mass doesnt explain why two objects in that field would therefore be drawn towards each other. Rather, the opposite is true.

    What are the fundamental building blocks of these particle?
    Because theoretically we could go infinitely inside each particle.
    Or is it particle a proper term?
    Yeah there are proofs that the universe expands and scientists are still doing research on it, but have you ever asked yourself that in every single thing/particle/force in the universe, each thing is infinitely inverted? there is no essential thing/particle/force in the universe or universes that actually form the universe or universes itself.
    Our answers might be at our preconceptions and understandings about energy.

  • @racastilho

    Why did they expect the alpha particles to go right through the thin gold foil were the atoms as Thompson had imagined (like muffins, with all spaces filled)? Shouldn't they expect that all the alpha particles would bounce back?!

    • @arturocevallossoto5203
      @arturocevallossoto5203 11 лет назад +1

      The idea was that the positive charge was "diluted". With enough force your alpha particles should pass through and only be deflected a few degrees because of those electrons floating around. This did happen but to degrees ranging from 0 to 360°.
