Nice explanation by Pat Gill, I thought the pacing was good. For those of you complaining about the pacing, this is Open University content for those studying for degrees - those of us fortunate enough to have attended a bricks and mortar college recall lecturers pacing delivery too quickly to be able to make notes and comprehend the lecture.
According to wikipedia, the radius of a cesium atom is 265 pm. The circumference is therefore 1.66nm. Multiplying by 9,192,631,770 rotations per second we get 15.3 m/s or 55 km/h or 34 miles per hour. Fast but not highway fast.
@@EastBurningRed although the electron is orbiting the nucleus, we are not mesuring this....we measure its jumping up 1 shell level then dropping back down to the start level, this jumping is happenning 9 billion times per second.... the orbit speed = (light speed c / 137), is so fast it makes quantum cloud😮🎉🎉❤
This video desperately needs volume boosting and equalling between scenes. I can't watch it because some parts are too quiet to hear, even at max volume.
VIEW video at 1.25 speed
The best explanation is given by this man.Finally I understood the definition of a second .

So if there are 9,172,632,770 periods, how fast is that electron moving?

c/ alpha constant, c x (1/137) = 3E8 /137 = 2.189781 E6 meters per second...really really fast

Seems they have a really hard time to explain what they want call a second
Why exactly that weird number of oscillations?
why cesium?
Thank you sir this was very informative and I finally understood this concept! :)
Just used 549 seconds to understand one second
very educative. thank you. . regards,
why is he talking so slow?
His second is slower.
His talking is very precise and that takes time.
thank you sir
good sir

inter -esting... video.
Poor presenter...
