When we hear the word radiation, it’s tempting to picture huge explosions and frightening mutations. But that’s not the full story - radiation also applies to rainbows and a doctor examining an X-ray. So what is it, really, and how much should we worry about its effects? Matt Anticole describes the different types of radiation.
Lesson by Matt Anticole, animation by Tinmouse Animation Studio.
Sure she died of radiation poisoning, but she accepted her death, as it was needed in order for people everywhere to better understand something that so many feared.
Her quote is inspirational because it represents dedicating your life to something greater than yourself.
Yet some people freak out when they see a microwave or a cellphone "because the invisible ray-thingies give you cancer".
_...there goes all the things she studied and all the points she proved..._
Word 💯 straight facts my guy❤️
i understand the knife still i fear it.
rip to the women much smarter than me!
nope
True
A wonderful quote from Marie Curie.
+karbengo It's a beautiful quote but it looses a bit of it charm when you know that Maria Skłodowska died because of bone narrow disease caused by her research.
+GODsaveTHEcat Which a little fear of her research material could have prevented
+Simen Johansen
That's a sad irony
Simen Johansen
There is a good lesson here.
Radioactive isotope boom was partially caused by Maria Skłodowska. After her discovery of fantastic new world of radiation they put radioactive isotopes in drugs, cosmetics, watches (famous radium girls) and even toys. We have a rich history of such mistakes like massive usage of asbestos, lead in fuel, DDT, freon gas(not hazardous for humans, but destroys ozone layer).
Maybe in fact we should be more afraid, who knows what is the Great Filter in Fermi Paradox :-)
+GODsaveTHEcat Isn't that what she mean? I mean, she sacrifice trying to understand something so we can know the danger?
The fact that you explain it calmly, slowly and clearly REALLY makes this video stand out. Very comprehensive, you did a fantastic job! And as I said before, the slow and calmness of your voice really helped me :)
Remote radiation location sounds catchy.

That monkey is so cute😂
In the end he was like, 'meh' and still ate the banana
yeah :D
I love the Fallout references
+BRVvideos What references?
War, war never changes
+Rodrigo Appendino The giant scorpion was one of them.

Preston: sir theres another settlment that needs our help, i'll mark it on your map
To all those people saying, "Will my Cellphone or Microwave give me cancer?"
No.
Unfortunately my mom is one of those people. She won't listen me explaining how radiation works or what it is
What if the microwave is leaking radiation really bad? Please reply
Nate Braun it'd still be microwaves which are much too weak to be ionizing.
Nate Braun like the guy in the video said: the wavelength corresponds with the amount of energy the electromagnetic radiation has. The wavelength for microwaves are similar to radio so it doesn't have enough kinetic energy to knock electrons out of the atoms orbit. (That's what's 'dangerous' about radiation). Visible light has a shorter wavelength (more energy) and still isn't capable of doing that.
Your microwave will not be able to give you cancer.
Those people probably don't even wear sunscreen.
The dosimeter reads 3.6 roentgen, I'm told it's as much as a chest x-ray.
Chernobyl, i see...
400 x rays
How do we compare roentgen with Sievert
@@kaibaing4288 1 Sievert = 100 rem (Roetgen equivalent man)
haha funny (sarcasm)
There are billions of such comments under every video about radiation now. Stop it.
Phew! I only eat 169 bananas a day
How long does it take to prepare this animated vids
Hi +Sahil Rizvi , thanks for the question! Each lesson typically takes 3-5 months to produce. That breaks down to about 1 or 2 months of preproduction and 2-3 months of production. Preproduction is when we're researching, revising, and fact-checking the script with an educator, and production involves working with an animation studio and creating all of the production elements (recording the voice over, designing the look and feel of the piece, animating, and composing music and sound effects).
In this case, Matt Anticole submitted his first draft of the script at the end of September, 2015. Between Matt and our team, the script went through 10 revisions and locked in mid-November-- at which point we recorded the narration with Addison. Tinmouse Animation Studios started work on it a week or so later. They created 6 separate drafts of the animation (we call each a Work In Progress or WIP)-- which is a little more than usual (this turned out to be a tricky subject to animate, and Tinmouse did a fantastic job!). The animation was completed in February 2016.
+TED-Ed Wow thank you for doing so much work! Your videos are always interesting!! :D
cool
+TED-Ed you guys rock! thanks for the effort!
+TED-Ed You guys are amazing !! Can't express enough gratitude !!
Told my physics teacher about this and got him to play it in class.
Best day of my life.
I love the way you have articulated a complex science to a simple form most people can grasp.
I believe with the incredibly easy to understand TED-Ed, the future is so much fearless, as we know more and more.
You are the bests.
Much appreciation to your team!
I've concluded that the scientific answer to every simple question starts with "It depends".
Real life has tons of different contributing factors, nuances, and complexities
What is the smallest Planet in out solar system? You can't answer that with "it depends..." I guess I just proved you wrong.
@@gettingshotsomeonesgonnapa8635 Yes, you can. It all starts with what you consider to be a planet. For a long time the answer was Pluto, but if a planet needs to be able to clear its own gravitational field, it no longer is.
@@kamcorder3585 oh.
@@kamcorder3585 okay then, I think this time I'll prove him wrong: what is the smallest planet in our solar system CURRENTLY?
Loved the little Star Trek reference!
Sameeeeee 🥳
Where is it?
@@VictorMarwood Spock dying from acute radiation exposure.
my physics/physics in medicine teacher wrote this episode. awesome job, Mr. Anticole!
I would just like to say how much I like your videos. I think that the amount of work you put into this is phenomenal.
7 years ago is ctazy
Marie Curie ironically died of radiation - she walked around with radioactive isotopes in her pocket
HOW IS THAT IRONIC
+ProGangstaShit she was learning to not to be afraid of ... they were trying to understand the effects and they didnt know it was radiating by it standing.
+KEMAL C. I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I was told she did something else
+ProGangstaShit Her office chair and even the door knob in her lab is still very radioactive.
KEMAL C. yes i know :))
Just realized that the main character (3:30) is supposed to be Vault boy from fallout
Who's here after Chernobyl?!
Can anyone be here before it?
@@hibatoullah
He/She means: who is here after reading or watching a youtube video about Chernobyl disaster
@@rawdhatul_fawaidstill its been like 40 years
Long after

"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so we can fear less"
_Dies of radiation poisoning_
That was her message, at least how I take it. She didn't fear dying of radiation poisoning, she considered it was important for her to do what she did so that humanity understands more, and fears less in the future.
You only yolo once
If it weren't her fearlessness, we are still in fear.
yeah, well, you have to take her advice and UNDERSTAND WHY she died, ie. she did not look at a piece of radioactive material and drop dead.
She fears it less. But the fact she never understood it in the same level as we have now, she couldn’t have minimized the radioactive poisoning. Had she, she would’ve taken far more protective actions
Hey Its The Fallout Boy!!!!
Umm actually, it's the vault boy.
+The Flaming Sword I was gonna comment that! And its Vault boy, not fallout boy
I always see this bleach guy, im not even subscribee to him.
When it's a video about radiation, it's a video with Fallout references.
WHAT ABOUT ME
Loved all the references in this video, amazing aninmator and interesting lesson.
Thank you for making this vid! As a radiologic technology student, this is so helpful :)
Good day to everyone in Ted Ed. :D
I'm so glad to know your channel, I'm a college student and have loads of stuff behind me.
But whenever I feel loaded I just watch your videos :D It calms, feed my mind and eventually I didn't notice that I actually finish the things I'm doing.
Keep it up! And I would like to know how can I pass a subject to you guys :D
Best regards Ted Ed!
mmmm.... talk science to me.

oh! DON'T STOP!
This video was very informative, thank you!
(also love the Star Trek reference)
This was an excellent explanation. Exactly what I was looking for.
These animations are so good, I’ve learned a lot from this stuff haha
you should have also mention damages of alpha and beta particles and how they can damage us. something that I find is left open ended and unexplained is some of the major types of nuclear radiation. for those who don't know an alpha particle is a free nucleus of ionized helium (from an alpha decay) and can cause damage but is minimal or non-severe. beta is a free electron or positron (electron of a reverse charge) and has a much greater chance of causing an issue because is can knock free another electron or obliterate it, and gamma is a light particle and is normally in the lethal range of light. each of these is respectively smaller and can go deeper into your body. alpha is normally stopped by your skin causing "sunburns." beta can enter your upper level of your internal body and exterior (just below the skin), but is about as dangerous as alpha, and gamma can just go right through you.
just as a note if you could see gamma rays then jeweled diamonds would be opaque and plastic toys would be translucent.
this was so cool thanks for the extra info!
I do not understand what is in this video that made some people to dislike it !!!?? It's pure knowledge explained fantastically in the most simplest way. Keep up the good work Ted X and thanks.
It is simplistic, cartoonish, which is kinda what it now takes, to get most folks to even pay attention. But, it’s also a very clever tactic used, to slip-in some misinformation that helps industry’s profits. (@ about 3:02, he says cellphones & microwaves don’t radiate ionizing radiation…& it SOUNDS like he means, no radiations. But, both do emit, & can harm)
Beware of info videos like this. They are purposefully designed to sway public opinion & to groom public “understanding” of science.
Just enough truths to carry a few lies, & profit margins escalate, as overall health of population, goes down.
@@Chimonger1Jesus man... This videos are free... They need to reck up some moneys in other ways...
This end quote should be on the end of all TED videos. All of them!
+Bojan Zigic I liked that quote as well, even with the sad irony (a little healthy fear of ionizing radiation would have been good for Madame Curie)
Great video probably one of the best ones explaining what radiation really is
2:06 LOL!
4:22
+ who are you?
Lol. What the crap...
+ leader of the anonymous
lol
Okay i'll sunscreen my house to prevent getting radiation
as always...
love to see ted ed videos.....
2019 here
I'm sure I didn't notice all of the easter eggs and references but the ones I noticed were pretty darn cool.
Simple, clear, concise, beautiful. I appreciate this so much!
IS THAT VAULTBOY ON A RADIATION VIDEO DAMN
+Geometry Dash Spooked looked just like him
Yes it's me
This video is so good! Perfect for lesson in radioactive elements for my son in homeschool!
Very nicely done - thanks.
Love the Fallout references ^^
Who noticed Hulk in gamma rays
Mee
Scientific!
That last quote inspire me thanks Ted ed!
This was so helpful!!
Is radiation dangerous? One word Ted-Ed... Deathclaws!
+TITANSPIRIT but those were made by the us government BEFORE THE WAR.
Patroling the wasteland makes you wish nuclear winter was here
Oh I don’t know maybe ask the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
GHOULS!!FERAL GHOULD
this is true because fallout boy appears in 3:28
Great video, there's only one small thing i would change though. Doctors don't do x-rays, Radiologic technologists do, aswell as CT Scans, mammography, MRI, etc
I loved this video such a clear and relevant information... Thumbs up
I didn't know much about Radiation but I was curious to know about it and after watching The 100, I realise many things. & now RUclips helps me to understand it well. Thanks to video maker.
Another great quote from Marie Curie is "After the show it's the after party. And after the party it's the hotel lobby."
10 bananas would kill you from potassium overdose before radiation.
Bet
Thanks for the information! :)
Fantastic clip guys. Well done, will use in class.
Of course radiation is not dangerous, just pop a RadAway and you're good to go.
and don't forget your power armor.
+KNR Thanks gonna try that i'll be right back
either that or a rad-x if you got the sniffles
Once you hear that tic tic tickity, you grt outs there, you hear?
You mean vodka
Cool video, another great upload from TedEd. Your channel is great, keep up the great work. Happy π day by the way! Just uploaded a video on pi day and I'm feeling a 3.14 mood. :)
Thank you so much for this useful information
Great job!
Marie Curie's quote is a bit ironic since she died form the efects of radiation
+Milky Cowish They also missed an end punctuation and typed out "form" instead of "from" like they meant. Are we going to cry about every little bit that isn't 100% correct? You get the idea.
***** "English sorely lacks a gender-neutral singular third-person pronoun, and “they” has for centuries been pressed into service for that purpose..."
- The Wall Street Journal
iyeah I think so
"Understand more, we may fear less." Love this quote!
I love the animation done on this video. It's cute and interesting too!
well explained presentation on Radiations..good job
3:26 vault-boy!
That fallout reference tho
great work :)
Great video much thanx for you
Great quote form Madame Curie, although a bit ironic, as she reportedly died of aplastic anemia, which can be caused by prolonged exposure to radiation. Perhaps fear that leads to respect may be the better part of valor.
Haha you beat me to it! Yes, quoting Madame Curie in the context of not fearing radiation is quite amusing. Their next video is all about how going to the theater makes you more cultured, with some lovely quotes from Abraham Lincoln. (Too soon?)
+Michael Pace Point given. Well played. Damn, but you are good!
Is cancer dangerous? - TED-Ed
+Lalit Kumar exactly!, nor for the wolverine
Primo
+Zarah O. they would probably be able to balance it out like with the spartans saying "well y'know they left weaker children on mountainsides and starved their children intentionally but they also taught some kids to read good!" with cancer it would be "oh it affects 1 in 3 people during their lifetime and it kills lots of people but what if it wasn't possible for cells to genetically mutate into cancer cells? What about HeLa and look at all the weird mutated genomes that would but shouldn't survive." Something like dat :)
+Zarah O. - Surprisingly, the answer isn't Just a Yes (or No).
All through your life, you create cancerous cells, ie. cells that have gone rogue due to genetic mutations. But your immune system is constantly on the lookout for such cells, and keeps them at suppressed. Cancerous cells aren't all bad though. You have probaby heard of _"benign tumors"_. Sometimes, these tumors have indeed formed due to a genetic malfunction, which, by definition, is cancer. These tumors aren't necessarily bad though. In most cases they are completely harmless, and result in few to no adverse effects.
+Zarah O. and Walter White

I said that
You think Im on RUclips 24/7 (tru) reading ppls comments? (false)

Marie Curie was a legend herself
Really really appreciate her hard work and consistent mentality
So i also want to study nuclear science and radioactivety
Thanks for helping me getting an A on my physics project! 👌
omg FALLOUT!! I LOVE IT TED IT YOU ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! LOVE THE VIDEOS!
Marie SKŁODOWSKA - Curie :)
hahahahaahhahahahahahahahahah
"Nothing is to be feared"
And died due to radiation effects.
while gaining so much knowledge about radiations... think together as species, not as individuals
+Funk Iou She didn't knew about its dangers though. If she had she probably would have used some kind of protection like a leaded blanket while handling radioactive isotopes, or wouldn't have carried radioactive isotopes in her pockets. Smart people know how to discover new things without endangering themselves. I believe she would find a way of doing her research without endangering herself or her husban if she knew.
+Saad Mohd Someone's been watching Interstellar
Lol. Poor people. Don't have sense of humor.
Rodrigo Appendino I chuckled
Thank you for making this video
never felt this grateful to all those physics classes because I can understand all of this in a ted ed video.
3:09 "I have been....and always shall be....your friend." 😫
Radiation? Better get my radaway and rad x
Man that last quote is really something. Very interesting
I LOVE YOUR WORKS
KEEP GOING
I just want to say that I am a 13 year old Canadian, openly pansexual boy with Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD), and you've inspired me to achieve my fullest, and because of that bout of inspiration, I want to become something in pediatrics even though with my learning disability I have troubles in math and school in general. So thank you for inspiring me and thank you for helping me realize that the potential is inside me no matter what people say.
So beautiful you rule! :)

Was the Fallout Vault Suit on that on purpose at 3:35?
Probably
+Templar388z A blonde guy with a grin on his face all the time while wearing a suit looking like a vault suit?
Probably not the character for the Pipboy
+Abdu Hydoub Oh, and the scorpion coming out at the background, definitely not Fallout
I commented on that before i finished the video lol.
+Templar388z You forgot the familiar pipboy someone was wearing
03:29 ~ Pip Boy, is that you?
Don't mean to sound like a dick but it's actually vault boy
3:26 deadass Vault boi just walkin like nothing happening
3:26 I like how they added the Fallout guy there as a reference
"Is radiation dangerous?" Is like asking "Is 5 missed calls from mom scary?"
3:29 that's not vault boy
His name is actually vault boy
Vault dude
Love you bro great explanation you Exaplaning it so clearly that i am having no doubts..... Keep. Doing brother
The example with the monkey and banana is hilarious! 😊
I love how they have the Hulk in this 💚
Ironically, Gamma radiation does not make a person turn into a Hulk.
Who is still here 2020?❤️😃
3:26 nice Vault Jumpsuit :D
Amazing video Ted-Ed💜💜💜
