I definitely enjoy your simplified analogy between charge and mass relative to fields. It makes for a much bigger picture than what is usually disseminated in Physics books!
dude, that bigger picture is what is making more sense to me now. the 'smaller picture' didnt quite settle well in my brain, and i was kinda rejecting it. it wasnt enough to see the 'piece', i needed to see how the piece fits with the rest of pieces and see how it works, to understand it. and i am now getting it through this guy's vids.
Your films are brilliant. What fields are and how they relate to or interact with space (time?) is something I suspect many of us give up trying to understand once we have been "educated" to whatever degree in vector calculus. Anyway, keep up the great output!

If we consider a field, it's just an area where a particle applies electrostatic force on another particle and makes it experience some force. For any electric field, if we consider, we always refer to charge present as it is the property of matter due to which it experiences electric field and gravitational force due to mass carried by it
Fields exist just because they do. They're fundamental to our universe and the best answer to why or how is just because. I know it is unsatisfying, but you cant really explain something that's just fundamental.
One of the only channels that doesn't glaze over the important question with regurgitated technical descriptions while failing to answer the question entirely. Subscription from me you crazy nut. Please keep on keeping the love of science alive
Oh my god, this genius of a man just summed up an entire high school chapter into one video. Edit: technically it was an year ago but it's still relevant and yes I just subbed.
Me too-three. Grant from 3Blue1Brown has an wonderful clear, mellow, engaging narrator’s voice 🎻 I love Nick’s voice too but for different reasons; Nick has a “Life is a Ball, let’s have some fun!” 🎉🎈🎺🎆 voice.
If fields are intrinsic to space then what effect does an expanding universe have on field strength? Is overall field strength conserved? Or does it's value increase? Is it possible to read a field's strength without any moving particles being involved? What is the reactance of empty space (vacuum)? How can it be modified? Since plasma is disassociated atoms it is always highly charged, conductive, and magnetic yet despite it's seeming chaos, it self organizes into intergalactic filaments. Why?
An expanding resonance universe has uniform field such that 'c' is the constant that Einstein described. If at any point in spacetime the constant does change, then physics and life would show Biblical variations.
Nick Lucid, you are the best teacher i ever saw and these videolessons are so exeptionally clear, i wish you where my teacher in my scool.

First video where you lost me. Doesn't help that I'm enjoying some bourbon lol. Please keep up this great work. I use your videos to explain so many complex things to my kids. Thank you so much for adding worthwhile content to RUclips.
That bit at the end, about charge always being conserved across time and everyone agreeing about how much there is, was really cool to me. It's strange that charge, something seemingly as fundamental as mass-energy, is *not* affected by relativity as mass is.
I never thought of that when I studied this, like, 50 years ago. If E charge were subject to the same Lorentz transformation, then you'd have electrostatics but not magnetism -- right?
Yes, the treatment of mass-energy is always a tensor one rank higher than charge. For example, when talking about the value for an object, mass energy is represented by four-momentum (rank 1 tensor) while charge is just charge (rank 0 tensor). When looking at its distribution/density over spacetime, mass energy is represented by stress-energy (rank 2 tensor) while charge is represented by four-current (rank 2 tensor).
Why do particles have the properties they do? Why must electrons have charge and mass and photons can't? Why do particles need to have mass, charge and spin at all instead of some other properties?
I just thought about it and it seems kinda obvious now. Of course electrons have the properties they do because they are just excitation of the fields. although I still can't figure out why the fields we have are what they are and not something else. And what causes those fields to get excited in the first place.
Don't worry about it. It's usually taught backwards, so a lot of people eventually have to ask questions like yours. Usually, it's said something like "the electron has these properties," when in reality it's the unique collection of properties that we call an "electron." Particles are _defined_ by their properties and those properties are (mostly) just directly measured. We don't really know why they have those specific values.
@@ScienceAsylum What's your opinion of models of the fundamental particles (quarks, electrons, the Bosons) as regions of the quantum field with toroidal geometry? The representations of the electron as a dipolar torus rather than a point particle in particular make sense to me, after learning of how toroidal magnetohydrodynamic systems remain stable (like ball lightning, smoke rings, tornadoes, fusion reactors or the reversed field configuration plasmoid) and non-linear optical media behave when excited beyond a critical energy ie. Wave-mixing/holography. Some theories include: The model of the toroidal electron having closed poloidal and toroidal field lines. The surface of the electron or other dipoles has out-of-phase magnetic and electric field vectors, the so-called 'near-field' of the antenna system. This also makes the concept of an 'orbital' make more sense to me, as a toroidal topology can distort around an atomic nucleus while conserving the energy-momentum relation, giving rise to the many bizarrely shaped orbitals. Since the internal structure of the electron is formed by the coupling of the Higgs field and the Electromagnetic fields of two gamma rays interfering, it seems logical to me that electrons are an interference pattern that is stable because of the spin contributions of the Higgs particle and one of the force carrying Bosons with complimentary spin vector to make a toroidal topology in the metric tensor. Interference patterns that form standing waves can have many 'point-like' constructive interference nodes as well as regions of destructive interference where the amplitude is zero. This would mimic our observation that electrons are spread out in a probability field, when the sub-structure is actually a kind of volumetric hologram composed of circulating EM waves in superposition, with electric field vectors extending to infinity being the consequence of the standing wave electromagnetic fields that non-dissipatively radiate from the electron.
@The Science Asylum could you jusr as well say particles *are* their properties ? Is there anything about a, say, electron, that is not one of its properties ? ... Have we ever seen one ?
I've just started reading your book ( I'm studying pharmaceutical science ) and it's amazing!!! I really was looking for something that explains every little detail of the physical phonomena it talks abt. Because I have this thing with details ( that drives me crazy ) , I NEED TO KNOW. So thank you for the book again
Nick, your videos are the best/truest explanations of scientific ideas. Please consider talking about how to possibly stop global warming. There are some proposals out there but it would be great to hear it from the perspective of science rather than science fiction.
I'm not sure I'm the best person for that, but Real Engineering has done a couple videos on this recently: ruclips.net/channel/UCR1IuLEqb6UEA_zQ81kwXfgsearch?query=global+warming
Charge is basically "thirst" or "hunger" for electrons (and other "similar-tasting" particles we know to be negativelly charged), and therefore negative charge is a measure of "satedness" or "stuffedness" for electrons
Another great video thank you for posting it I give this video a thumbs up I'm already going crazy crazy for knowledge thanks to you and all the wonderful people posting videos on RUclips
Well you did a fantastic job explaining vector fields. The only problem is that, while charge can be mathematically described vectorially, it's not a true vector because its force carrying particle (the photon) is quantized and does not have a magnitude value. Gravitational curvature is a true vector field where each point in space has a magnatude and a direction. Electromagnetic properties such as charge or light can only be understood vectorially to explain how intensity corresponds negatively with distance from a source. From a macro point of view, intensity follows the inverse square law only because fewer and fewer photon arrive at points in space that are farther and farther from the source. But each individual photon still contains the same energy, so at the fundamental level (i.e. for an individual particle), there is no magnitude value that decreases with distance. The question was "what _is_ charge?", not "how to explain charge mathematically?". How does do the proton and the electron communicate physically? Yes we know that the photon "does it", but how? That question is maybe a bit harder to answer.
The point I was making in this video is that charge isn't _anything_ by itself. It's just a conserved mathematical quantity that describes a particle's connection to the electromagnetic field. That's all it is. There is nothing more to say.
I love your videos! You explain ideas and answers in ways no one else does. I had a couple additional questions I was hoping you could answer (ideally make a video around), as I am super curious and no one I ask really knows: 1) What actually happens to the electrons (or electric current) when it/they go into a device to do "work" (e.g. light up a light bulb or power a computer). What is happening at the atomic level when that energy is used? Are the electrons different when they leave the device? 2) Why does a short circuit melt a wire? What is happening at the atomic level that causes this? and 3) Why don't power-lines melt? They have so much more power, and don't they have a "load", do they? Would love to hear what you have to say!!

My inner child cannot handle the word "dingleberry" 😂
Hahaha! Poop jokes!

I've just started reading your book ( I'm studying pharmaceutical science ) and it's amazing!!! I really was looking for something that explains every little detail of the physical phonomena it talks abt. Because I have this thing with details ( that drives me crazy ) , I NEED TO KNOW. So thank you for the book again
I've always been disappointed with the lack of detail in other books.
Nick, your videos are the best/truest explanations of scientific ideas. Please consider talking about how to possibly stop global warming. There are some proposals out there but it would be great to hear it from the perspective of science rather than science fiction.
I'm not sure I'm the best person for that, but Real Engineering has done a couple videos on this recently: ruclips.net/channel/UCR1IuLEqb6UEA_zQ81kwXfgsearch?query=global+warming
We want Quantum mechanics.
More!!!
You are wonderful man I’ve been binging your videos in no particular order and I’m just so thankful that you are sharing your knowledge with us!
Great video It made it easier and make more sense when I just think of these things as labels
The snozberries!!! Hahaha! You boys like Mexico?!?!?! Yeehaw!.....P.S. I noticed you fixed the arrows on the gravity vector field!! Now I get it..lol
Yeah, whoops! I was super paranoid about it this time.
So many technicalities to deal with when presenting your truth.
Mexican grass? Ewww. Wait, Canadian grass, nice!
woo new video!!
Charge is basically "thirst" or "hunger" for electrons (and other "similar-tasting" particles we know to be negativelly charged), and therefore negative charge is a measure of "satedness" or "stuffedness" for electrons
Best explanation ever thanks buddy.I always like your videos.
You are the best. Screw mrbeast Shane's and pies.
How did you know I am crazy
Man, your videos are the best RUclips content ever! Susskind is deeper, but you've got cartoons!
Another great video thank you for posting it I give this video a thumbs up I'm already going crazy crazy for knowledge thanks to you and all the wonderful people posting videos on RUclips
For all that is good and holy! Don't lick the dingleberries!
Solid advice.
That's what she said
"a field, is a value or set of val..." and my eyes are glazing over now.
Well you did a fantastic job explaining vector fields. The only problem is that, while charge can be mathematically described vectorially, it's not a true vector because its force carrying particle (the photon) is quantized and does not have a magnitude value. Gravitational curvature is a true vector field where each point in space has a magnatude and a direction. Electromagnetic properties such as charge or light can only be understood vectorially to explain how intensity corresponds negatively with distance from a source. From a macro point of view, intensity follows the inverse square law only because fewer and fewer photon arrive at points in space that are farther and farther from the source. But each individual photon still contains the same energy, so at the fundamental level (i.e. for an individual particle), there is no magnitude value that decreases with distance. The question was "what _is_ charge?", not "how to explain charge mathematically?". How does do the proton and the electron communicate physically? Yes we know that the photon "does it", but how? That question is maybe a bit harder to answer.
The point I was making in this video is that charge isn't _anything_ by itself. It's just a conserved mathematical quantity that describes a particle's connection to the electromagnetic field. That's all it is. There is nothing more to say.
You’re an actual hero dude. Seriously cool stuff
Hey Nick.... are you sure about that?
Yep.
So you’re positive. Sorry, I had to do it.
Ha!
Ah! Nice one!
I love your videos! You explain ideas and answers in ways no one else does. I had a couple additional questions I was hoping you could answer (ideally make a video around), as I am super curious and no one I ask really knows: 1) What actually happens to the electrons (or electric current) when it/they go into a device to do "work" (e.g. light up a light bulb or power a computer). What is happening at the atomic level when that energy is used? Are the electrons different when they leave the device? 2) Why does a short circuit melt a wire? What is happening at the atomic level that causes this? and 3) Why don't power-lines melt? They have so much more power, and don't they have a "load", do they? Would love to hear what you have to say!!
This video was the beginning of series on electrodynamics. Here's the whole thing: ruclips.net/p/PLOVL_fPox2K9MtRv68T_cmWwQUbg9YR4F When you get to the 5th video in this playlist, it's going to blow your mind 🤯
100k subscribers is awesome, now go for the million, guys !
Woo!!
Loved the video Nick and champagne pop for your 100k 👍😊. You are slowly reeling all the zombies back to the real world 😅 When you get a chance, I would love to see the magnetic field sequel please.... maybe with a little quantum add on too? 💛
This was great! Please give us the Quantum mechanics version too!
It'll happen sometime in the next couple months.
This channel is a blessing! Forever grateful!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Very good animations to help me to understand Gauss' law.
Glad I could help 🤓
Nick i am just addicted to your vdos!!awsome!!
These videos are really AWESOME
so I hope if you make them longer to cover more detail:)
Love the videos! It's great to see your channel continue to grow. 1 million subs, here we come!
Completely loved it! Great explanation of this beautiful analogy. :D
i was dying when he start lickin the snozzberries
