thanks alot man,your vids are extremely helpful

[@leafcherngchaosil]

this is 10X better than my teacher's lecture thank you so much for doing this.

[@Silverdeamon92]

Excellent explanation. Thanks I've often wondered what was the basis of this experiment.

[@IcechillaTeam]

Love you for uploadin this video to help me improve my chances for tomorrow's exam :D

[@chrislozano7055]

So great! thank you so much!

How Firstly The Expriemeter Knew Postive And negative Boundary?

[@sankalpkhandelwal9572]

i understand it very simply ...........
u r cool it is not to hard to understand the oil drop experiment for me by seeing this video

[@danp8787]

when your teacher makes a homework assignment out of this video

[@vaughnrandle]

ahh yes, science, very interesting

thanks :D

tx!! it helps!! :p

go millikan!

So what I'm getting is that electrons as particles is a theory that is directly refuted by quantum physics, but "hey, the textbooks and Street signs are all printed so let's just keep claiming to know."

[@ursulagwozdz1955]

You are confusing physics and quantum physics.There is a lot of theory, yet there is much which cannot be quantified within the field of quantum physics.This does not disqualify, nor refute current theories which have enabled you to enjoy modern life.

[@thenatureofnurture6336]

@@ursulagwozdz1955 I have not confused physics, as you are doing. The adequate approximation of the earths movement with relation to the sun also provided for many practical achievements centuries ago - but it was still not how things actually worked.

[@ursulagwozdz1955]

@@thenatureofnurture6336 Can you specify your point in context of particle and quantum theory?

[@ursulagwozdz1955]

Ok...clearly not.

Nobel laureate Robert Millikan was one of the most eminent scientists ... Millikan also believed that God not only originally created matter and life.

[@johnwatson7765]

5tonyvvvv wow, that really proves god exists!

[@5tonyvvvv]

John Watson Prove there is no God..Prove the Multiverse??

[@johnwatson7765]

5tonyvvvv Prove a god exists

[@5tonyvvvv]

John Watson HA! Do you see how you avoid what I asked you... I never said I could prove a God. There is evidence of design everywhere from the universe itself, to the cell DNA and proteins.
Now Prove the Multiverse and abiogenesis? You don't have a shred of chemistry!
There is still no evidence!!! You think you will have something every year! Abiogenesis is unworkable! There has never been any chemistry for it EVER!!! Never mind all the devastating problems, Just keep saying its possible, right! HA!

[@johnwatson7765]

5tonyvvvv Evidence of design? The alternative to abiogenesis would need proof - what can you provide?
