Have you seen the microscope from Echo. Echo revolve. How about setting up an crowdfunding page. And make video's for the internet(us) with the new Echo Revolve, so we can all enjoy the marvels of future tech. We all would really appreciate that
So many people like to believe the myth that humans are individual, somehow disconnected from the rest of the universe, as if we aren't all part of a single, interconnected, dynamic system. Cutting off their nose to spite their face
yes! Hank is an amazing speaker - and this is back to the classical Hank! Just lovely! Only one little detail, but I wonder if he had a point in mind with that decision
One small thing: while it is true that Plato and Aristotle and the a lot of the greek intelligentia believed that matter was comprised of the 4 elements, water earth wind and fire, the opposition of Democritos was more to the idea that matter was continuous and could be "cut" indefinitely. It was a big discussion at the time because mathematically you can, let's say, cut length indefinitely. Some philosopers at the time, like Plato and Aristotle, believed that the universe was contiguous and had no "void" while atomists like Democritos believed otherwise.
Yes basically it's the 400 BC version of this They were smart enough to come up with the concept but no one was prepared for the mindfuckery that is quantum physics so they always thought "it either has to be one way or another". it simply could not occur mentally and intuitively . So they chose a side Some believed that reality had to be quantistic and others believed that it couldn't be. They could have never even imagined the things we know now
There were *similar* discussions in India at the time. Its believed that a lot of scholarly ideas were being passed between the two geographic locations!
@@miquellluch1928 Simulation theory is largely based on arguments by analogy, and the heuristic arguments for it are lacking, so... yeah, people do get annoyed when its presented as the "best theory ever omfg."
it should also be noted that each of the men mentioned was practically brain dead compared to even the average US citizen, and they were also all pedophiles who enjoyed raping slave boys. the latter part invalidating anything they ever did or said.
I love this, using this channel to explain Brownian motion. Kinda sucks that you needed to rush the explanation to stop this from turning into a 20 minute video, but what are you gonna do
I'm sort of excited to get such a concise explanation, myself!! I had never even heard of Brownian motion until I read the book "Moon Beam" and I honestly thought it was some kind of wild space science term. But no! Botanists! SO COOL! And it really is a mesmerizing kind of thing to watch, too.
Yep a very good job , I only discovered (or rediscovered very recently who calculated Avogadro's number . History of sciences is a fascinating subject and illustrates the power of a collective effort .
@@ingridschmid1709 The calculation of Avogadro's number was amazing to learn about, Planck's realization that you could figure out Avogadro's constant, Boltzmann's constant, and his own constant from the same equation was really cool to find out
There is no explanation. just description. unless you heard something that was not available and would like to add this explanation, you fell for sleight of hand and should reexamine that false statement.
I got done with my daily reading faster than everyone in my class when I was in elementary school one day so I got bored and picked up a book that mentioned atoms. It was maybe 3rd grade so it was the first time I'd ever heard of it and it totally changed my world. I kept looking at things wishing I could see the atoms that make them up haha
If you squint really hard and look through the haze of your eyelashes, you will see little atoms floating around in front of your eyes. They seem to move with your eyes because of micro air currents from the movement of your eyes. At least that's what I thought as a child, before I learned about the existence of floaters in your eyeballs.
Hey Hank! I almost didn't reconize your voice. I really enjoy how chill and relaxed your voice is for this video, if the entire channel is like this then I'm watching them all twice!
Albert Einstein wrote his paper on Brownian motion in the same year that he wrote his Nobel-prizewinning paper on the quantum nature of the photoelectric effect AND his two papers on the special theory of relativity, including of course the famous E=mc^2. He was about 26 years old.
Super cool, ultra informative of physics, biology and science in general and oh so relaxing with Hank's wonderful narration. Everything you could want.
Ultra informative? Really? This video doesn't contain any valuable information at all. The comment sections of pop science videos are all fucked up filled with nonsense positive comments, clearly not artificial at all.
@@steelwasp9375 , I made that positive comment and I am not a robot. I also have been very critical here at times - especially when they substitute a certain other presenter for Hank. This was a nice, informative introduction to Brownian motion. Was it detailed? No. I'd say middle school grade. However, we come here largely to see the science done in such a relaxing manner. These videos should be in dentists offices to prevent patients from hyperventilating in terror before their root canals. Therefore, I still think it is ultra nice and (for what it is) very informative.
I thought they were called 'Adams' until I was 10. I figured there were so many of them, they would run out of names if they tried to give them each their own, so they just branded them all with one. I ate a lot of paste back then.
@@schelsullivan well, perhaps annoying followers, like me, who like to ask for corrections! 🙈 It takes a lot of thought, experience, and work, I believe, to get it so wonderfully right!
@@WinstonBuford You never use vocal fry yourself? Do you use nasal compression instead - or are you one of those who pushes down your voice to its deepest instead? You'll have to find yourself in a place where there's emphasis on disliking vocal if this very nice use of vocal fry would be anything but pleasant! I wonder where you live!

The way Hank explains nuances, his exquisite language, and pure fascination with science is contagious. When I listen to Hank - I feel smart like Hank. It’s a very good feeling. Please don’t let anyone else to voice this channel
I absolutely love this episode! It beautifully shows how interconnected all of science is, from atoms (and quarks) all the way up to the entire universe. And I do mean beautifully! 😍 Thank you, Hank and company, for this and all you do! ✌🏽❤❤
This is great work! Life is incredible! What we saw at these magnification levels, it’s crazy to know everything keeps getting even smaller, and smaller! I’m certain the Universe just keeps getting bigger and bigger. The rest is our perception. Wow! 🤗
Lástima que el movimiento browniano todavía no prueba que los átomos existen. Los científicos acaban de declarar que sí y todos están de acuerdo. Pero yo soy ese niño que grita: "¡El emperador está desnudo!"
Thanks for the bit on Closterium! I had misclassified it as a diatom, and was mind-boggled by the jiggly-wigglies at either end. I have a much better idea now, although would be nice to hear more about what they're for. They are gypsum crystals, it seems, that act as a kind of ballast, maybe? Why gypsum? Does the Closterium synthesize it, or pick it up somewhere?
only .. as it's Greek it's Á-tommos - I think you know that already. Interesting that you chose the americanised pronunciation - I guess it shows to tell how baffling the microcosmos is
I really want to get a sense of how violent the jiggling of water molecules is when an ATP-synthase engine is spinning around at 4,000 rpm and if it is possible to supply the poor thing the protons, phosphates and ADP molecules it needs to do its job. How concentrated must the raw materials be to get the job done in the observed time found in the real world? It seems like it would take forever to get anything done with all of this jiggling around unless there were many more ADP molecules than water molecules, for example.

This is great. We were just having a discussion about Brownian motion on the comment stream from the last video. It's like you were answering the questions directly. Though that would be great turn around time if it was the case. :)
Wait. It makes enough sense that Einstein would have been around while atoms were first being understood, detected, and studied. That is when he was alive. But I more closely associate him with relativity, quantum theory, and atomic bombs. Which happened from the 1910s to the 1950s. It's a good wide swath of time for a man to experience a career within. It's just so strange to think he was also there alongside the Victorian Era scientists who first developed any kind of understanding of atoms in the first place. The two are just so disconnected in my mind. As a society, we went from not even being able to definitively prove atoms were real to developing atomic weapons in the span of a single human lifetime.
I've always been pretty fascinated by Brownian motion. It just begs the question why? What is it, why is it moving? I feel so lucky to live in an age where I can actually find out the answer
Reminds me of a episode of James Burke's "Connections" series how one thing over time leads to another many times indirectly. No one person ever discovering or inventing in a vacuum entirely by themselves. Instead each discovery building off others work. Pretty neat.
Thank you for a lovely overview of Brownian motion. I thought Robert Brown had studied cigar smoke in a small glass box. I'll research this right now thanks to internet!
Wow! How fascinating. I always wondered how scientists deduced the existence of atoms. Even the ancients knew that there had to be tiny things, after all a set of stone steps slowly wore down and there weren't any loose pieces big enough to see, but the idea that water contained energy that could be transferred to other matter was astounding to me. I didn't even know water had energy like that, but those scientists, working with equipment we would consider primitive today, cracked nature's code. One of the best of your episodes, thank you very much for the eye-opener.
I would REALLY LOVE to see the HIGHEST MAGNIFICATION we can see before we have to move to an SEM.... Can we go down far enough to focus on those small particles moving in that Brownian motion??
You know what the Brownian motion in the beginning of this video reminds me off? The specular reflections on wave peaks on a lake or ocean viewed from 2+ km away when the sun is about halfway down in the sky. The level of entropy feels the same.. It tends to overload my camera encoder and cause junk data to get glitched in.. It's soo interesting, I'm convinced I'm seeing the equivalent of visualizing the ground state of the quantum world in the wave peaks, like miniature rogue waves.. It's so mesmerizing.. It looks like the snow on the TV from the microwave background radiation from the big bang.. its so beautifully random and chaotic but at the same time uniform like a fractal.. I love it..

You should tilt the slide (or the whole microscope) by 12 degrees, to put the downward pressure by gravity into the same order of magnitude as the dispersion pressure. Then watch for the 1 or 2 micron large heavy particles wandering upwards by Brownian motion (i.e. by thermal energy from the environment), thus defying the second law of thermodynamics. :-) In acetone, the Brownian movement is much larger than in water, and it works well with red lead powder or glass. Glass balls of a few micron diameter have some seriously unbelievable optical properties, in acetone.
Magnetic glass is a popular tool and fun to play with. You can get it for a fortune from your microscopy vendor, or for free from your laser printer's toner. When you hold a magnet in your hand at 20 to 30 cm distance from the slide, the magnetic glass particles of any size follow exactly the rotational movement of your hand, in any direction. This can be used to roll them over the slide and move or cut things, since they are rather fragments than balls.
Hank, I know you put out a video on ASMR. Do you know, these videos you are doing in Journey to the Microcosmos fall in that category? I've gone to sleep many times putting these in a playlist to just play through the night. Not only do I learn something, but they also help me sleep.
@@jakobraahauge7299 I have a very disturbed sleep cycle. I'm one of those who can't use a CPAP without going into a total panic. The guy doing the test did not seem to understand what was going on, so the test was aborted. During the test, my allergy kicked in, and I felt like I was going to drown in my own flume. Further, I was not allowed to remove the equipment without help. He also was not willing to let me get my equilibrium back. He wanted to force the mask back on me before I was ready, and he just called off the rest of the test. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, being I had 17 episodes per hour. Still, there were other issues besides that. For one thing, I had a heart attack 2 years before, that also contributed to the problem.
@@StarSong936 I dear! I'm so sorry to hear! That sounds like an absolutely exhausting ordeal you've been through! Makes it even more of a blessing to have Hank's mesmerising voice to soothe the mind and fall into rest by! ❤️🤗 I struggle with stress, and I can get easily exhausted - so like an hpur when I just need to dream off - these videos are just the most wonderful help! For me PBS Eons videos can also do the trick! Some of them are hosted by Hank too! 😄 And those just shuffling by on the tellie, can really soothe my mind too! I hope you'll find yourself in a more peaceful state, hopefully soon! And that you can enjoy these journeys to the Microcosmos many times over! I've certainly seen them quite a few times - and I still wholeheartedly enjoy them! And I think it's wonderful that Hank has gone back to the style of voice work he spoiled us with in the first videos! And I hope we'll have plenty more to come! Lots of love from Denmark 🤗
@@jakobraahauge7299 Denmark, I don't know much, but what little I do know makes me wish I had visited at least. I have no income to allow me to do so. The only countries I've been able to visit outside my own are Mexico and Canada. The only reason I don't want to live in Canada is the weather. As for Mexico, I would want to live more in the neighborhood of Patagonia, or Chile, so far as climate goes. Cant say for political, I don't know about that.
@@StarSong936 There are good and good places in all the countries, I believe! And as for Denmark - it"s lovely here, or so I find it! It has taken me a lot of years to getting used to it 🤭 I was born in Greenland and we moved here just before turning 4; so in a way - I was born in The Americas! I hope you will have enough money not to have to worry - in all honesty that means more to me than travelling, there are other things that I appreciate more! I have a garden, and that is a dream come true! I keep my garden in a way that makes room for local species, plants and critters - I like what of nature that comes to me! What others find weeds, I find beautiful - I have room for thistles! They're my favourite flowers, I love their silver sculptures crowned with purple 💜 I love picking stinging nettles in the garden and eat them in many different ways! I have herbs, wild and cumtivars that I can pick as I please! That's luxury to me - and even one that saves me money! I hope your life will fall into place like this as well, whether what you love is travelling, gardening, cooking, drawing, having a pet, or enjoying studying the microcosmos, the deep past of evolution, or how to play a video game! ❤️🤗⭐🌟✨ It isn't much or very profound, but if you want a glimpse of my garden I'm jakob_raa on Insta - my profile pic is a green peace sign As you'll see I don't live in much wealth, but it's what makes me happy and I have enough to feel comfortable and safe - travel we can do on the world wide net, and at least it's better for the planet than flying around the world 😄 depending on your time zone, I hope you'll have a beautiful day, evening - or night! Once again - lots of love from Denmark 🤗

Wow this blew my mind. Can you do a video about the movement of stuff inside microorganisms? Like the microtubules, etc
In india acchrya kanad (5th to 2th ,,BCE )has thought about. "Anu" and his definition of "anu" is exactly same( word to word) as Democritus definition of atom
We are not standing on shoulders of giants, we are standing on the should of people standing on the shoulders of other people. It's shoulders all the way down.
imagine some day in the future electron microscopes become so cheap that they make a new channel called "Jounry to the Nanocosmos" exploring atoms and molecules

This is so excellently presented. I like how your enunciate words and pause for emphasis and fluctuate your tone to fit what you are conveying.

I've always been pretty fascinated by Brownian motion. It just begs the question why? What is it, why is it moving? I feel so lucky to live in an age where I can actually find out the answer
mijn vraag is hier ..
waarom bariumkristallen en is hun aantal steeds gelijk??
waarom ik dit zo stel is een mooie natuurkundige vraag voor u ..
Very beautiful work
Reminds me of a episode of James Burke's "Connections" series how one thing over time leads to another many times indirectly. No one person ever discovering or inventing in a vacuum entirely by themselves. Instead each discovery building off others work. Pretty neat.
Pretty little lies.
🎶Tell me lies, tell me sweet, little lies
Oh no, no
You can't disguise
Tell me, tell me lies 🎶
Thank you for a lovely overview of Brownian motion. I thought Robert Brown had studied cigar smoke in a small glass box. I'll research this right now thanks to internet!
And the waving of the grass is proof of fairies at the bottom of the garden.
Yes!! Now that I definitely believe. They wave my flowers at me too. 🧚🧚♂🧚♀
Wow! How fascinating. I always wondered how scientists deduced the existence of atoms. Even the ancients knew that there had to be tiny things, after all a set of stone steps slowly wore down and there weren't any loose pieces big enough to see, but the idea that water contained energy that could be transferred to other matter was astounding to me. I didn't even know water had energy like that, but those scientists, working with equipment we would consider primitive today, cracked nature's code. One of the best of your episodes, thank you very much for the eye-opener.
And here was I thinking Brownian Motion was a nice cup of hot tea
I would REALLY LOVE to see the HIGHEST MAGNIFICATION we can see before we have to move to an SEM.... Can we go down far enough to focus on those small particles moving in that Brownian motion??
So cool!!!!
It would be interesting seeing more detail about the kinetic energy of atoms.
You know what the Brownian motion in the beginning of this video reminds me off?
The specular reflections on wave peaks on a lake or ocean viewed from 2+ km away when the sun is about halfway down in the sky. The level of entropy feels the same..
It tends to overload my camera encoder and cause junk data to get glitched in.. It's soo interesting, I'm convinced I'm seeing the equivalent of visualizing the ground state of the quantum world in the wave peaks, like miniature rogue waves.. It's so mesmerizing.. It looks like the snow on the TV from the microwave background radiation from the big bang.. its so beautifully random and chaotic but at the same time uniform like a fractal.. I love it..
Statistical analysis of the universe is my religion.
There is no good or bad, there simply are trends, and they shape the universe.
I love this video!
Lemme name-drop some other science-channel or learn-channel, cause i like sharing Fun and thats all the reason i need: Sci Man Dan, Sci Show, UpisnotJump, Plaanrwalk, Second Thought, Hbomberguy, Joe Scott.
You should tilt the slide (or the whole microscope) by 12 degrees,
to put the downward pressure by gravity into the same order of magnitude as the dispersion pressure.
Then watch for the 1 or 2 micron large heavy particles wandering upwards by Brownian motion (i.e. by thermal energy from the environment), thus defying the second law of thermodynamics. :-)
In acetone, the Brownian movement is much larger than in water, and it works well with red lead powder or glass.
Glass balls of a few micron diameter have some seriously unbelievable optical properties, in acetone.
How fascinating! I hope the master of the microscope will have time to play around with your your directions!
Magnetic glass is a popular tool and fun to play with. You can get it for a fortune from your microscopy vendor, or for free from your laser printer's toner.
When you hold a magnet in your hand at 20 to 30 cm distance from the slide, the magnetic glass particles of any size follow exactly the rotational movement of your hand, in any direction. This can be used to roll them over the slide and move or cut things, since they are rather fragments than balls.
I'd be curious to see Brownian Motion under different temperatures. I bet near freezing would look significantly different than near boiling.
Hank's voice should be a relaxing app.
Exactly!! 😄 The playlist works amazingly well as an audio-visual guide for mindfulness!!
Will the wiggeling visually increase or decrease with temperature changes?
this was peaceful
Thank you
Hank, I know you put out a video on ASMR. Do you know, these videos you are doing in Journey to the Microcosmos fall in that category? I've gone to sleep many times putting these in a playlist to just play through the night. Not only do I learn something, but they also help me sleep.
So have I 😍 well, mostly for naps - a little mindfulness when I need to rest, but can't quite sleep!
@@jakobraahauge7299 I have a very disturbed sleep cycle. I'm one of those who can't use a CPAP without going into a total panic. The guy doing the test did not seem to understand what was going on, so the test was aborted. During the test, my allergy kicked in, and I felt like I was going to drown in my own flume. Further, I was not allowed to remove the equipment without help. He also was not willing to let me get my equilibrium back. He wanted to force the mask back on me before I was ready, and he just called off the rest of the test. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, being I had 17 episodes per hour. Still, there were other issues besides that. For one thing, I had a heart attack 2 years before, that also contributed to the problem.
@@StarSong936 I dear! I'm so sorry to hear! That sounds like an absolutely exhausting ordeal you've been through! Makes it even more of a blessing to have Hank's mesmerising voice to soothe the mind and fall into rest by! ❤️🤗 I struggle with stress, and I can get easily exhausted - so like an hpur when I just need to dream off - these videos are just the most wonderful help!
For me PBS Eons videos can also do the trick! Some of them are hosted by Hank too! 😄 And those just shuffling by on the tellie, can really soothe my mind too!
I hope you'll find yourself in a more peaceful state, hopefully soon! And that you can enjoy these journeys to the Microcosmos many times over! I've certainly seen them quite a few times - and I still wholeheartedly enjoy them!
And I think it's wonderful that Hank has gone back to the style of voice work he spoiled us with in the first videos! And I hope we'll have plenty more to come!
Lots of love from Denmark 🤗
@@jakobraahauge7299 Denmark, I don't know much, but what little I do know makes me wish I had visited at least. I have no income to allow me to do so. The only countries I've been able to visit outside my own are Mexico and Canada. The only reason I don't want to live in Canada is the weather. As for Mexico, I would want to live more in the neighborhood of Patagonia, or Chile, so far as climate goes. Cant say for political, I don't know about that.
@@StarSong936 There are good and good places in all the countries, I believe! And as for Denmark - it"s lovely here, or so I find it! It has taken me a lot of years to getting used to it 🤭 I was born in Greenland and we moved here just before turning 4; so in a way - I was born in The Americas!
I hope you will have enough money not to have to worry - in all honesty that means more to me than travelling, there are other things that I appreciate more! I have a garden, and that is a dream come true!
I keep my garden in a way that makes room for local species, plants and critters - I like what of nature that comes to me! What others find weeds, I find beautiful - I have room for thistles! They're my favourite flowers, I love their silver sculptures crowned with purple 💜 I love picking stinging nettles in the garden and eat them in many different ways! I have herbs, wild and cumtivars that I can pick as I please!
That's luxury to me - and even one that saves me money! I hope your life will fall into place like this as well, whether what you love is travelling, gardening, cooking, drawing, having a pet, or enjoying studying the microcosmos, the deep past of evolution, or how to play a video game! ❤️🤗⭐🌟✨
It isn't much or very profound, but if you want a glimpse of my garden I'm jakob_raa on Insta - my profile pic is a green peace sign
As you'll see I don't live in much wealth, but it's what makes me happy and I have enough to feel comfortable and safe - travel we can do on the world wide net, and at least it's better for the planet than flying around the world 😄 depending on your time zone, I hope you'll have a beautiful day, evening - or night!
Once again - lots of love from Denmark 🤗
Wow this blew my mind. Can you do a video about the movement of stuff inside microorganisms? Like the microtubules, etc
I just asked about this in your last video! :)
In india acchrya kanad (5th to 2th ,,BCE )has thought about. "Anu" and his definition of "anu" is exactly same( word to word) as Democritus definition of atom
Very cool. Thanks for telling us.
Always fascinating!
You may have discussed this in a previous video but what 63X objective are you using? I need one of those!
i felt like the video is too short!... nice one, thanks
This is absolutely a video to show someone who's stoned, just saying.
Gorgeously done!!
We are not standing on shoulders of giants, we are standing on the should of people standing on the shoulders of other people.
It's shoulders all the way down.
What function has the barium in the tip ???
A video about the invention of the ultramicroscope and and how it lead to lightsheet fluorescent microscopy would be fascinating.
Amazing!!
Great video .
Glad he dropped the whispery quaalude voice.
The name of the Greek philosopher is not "Domocratus" (3:10) but "Democritus" (Dēmókritos), b'cause "κριτος" in Greek means judge.
Yay! I finally learned something real!
well done!
imagine some day in the future electron microscopes become so cheap that they make a new channel called "Jounry to the Nanocosmos" exploring atoms and molecules
