This video just made me realise that I _really_ need to clean my monitor.
Same, my monitor is disgusting and all I can see is the filth against the white youtube page...
yeah my screen is a mess
Teagan P lol i have the dark theme
Lol
these were my thoughts here as well thank you lol
I remember as a child I broke a calculator and discovered that its LCD digits can only be viewed by a thin plastic film cover. For years I kept wondering how much of this world is hidden behind films like that.
could be a reason some can't see the things, some people call ghosts. some people can see them, some can't. Interesting thought. Maybe also, some people say the typical grey alien description, with the big eyes, aren't eyes at all, but, lens coverings for an eye behind that. Maybe they help them see things like this, that would otherwise be invisible, that would be interesting. Possibly why they say pets react to & can see spirits too.
@@Dropla very cool ideas maybe could be cool to integrate into fictional short story form could be fun
@@Dropla Ooooooooh I love this!

As a photographer, the qualities of light have always astounded me.
Its a never-ending rabbit hole of science.
Optics is key with astronomy. Polishing glass to boggling tolerances is fun.
Science is full of rabbit holes...and now for some reason I feel like looking up information about a rabbit's digestive system...
@@matthewwriter9539 rabbits have interesting digestive systems. It requires them to eat near constantly, because if the guts stop moving they can get a blockage and die.
And the hole travels faster than you
"Science Rules!"
We did this in polymer engineering class, and I always thought it so cool. Years later, I gave my operators polarized safety glasses so they could see certain defects in tempered, parabolic segments of glass. It worked too well! They saw everything and started rejecting stuff that was in-specification, lol.
What type 9f engineer are you
I guess, in that case, specifications should be a little more strict 😜
Thanks for the collab Dianna, it was super fun ! Nice snowboarding skills, too :P
Plus de collabs Léo ! On t'entend pas beaucoup parler anglais !
À quand une collab avec des youtubers polonais ? :3

J'aime beaucoup ton accent et le contenu ! Ça fait plaisir de voir deux de mes youtubeurs préférés dans une même vidéo. J'espère que cette vidéo pourra t'apporter des abonnés car ton contenu est vraiment génial.
I found out about the LCD sheets and what they can do, by myself, when I was a little kid in the '90s, by disassembling and reassembling a Gameboy.
It blew my mind!
I got the polarized sheets from the front and back of the display and made a pair of glasses with a frame of paper cut out.
People would see me wearing that ridiculous thing while playing with a Gameboy that was clearly broken ('cuz they couldn't see any images, only hear the noises) and they would think I was a little odd.
But when I showed them how I could see the game through the glasses - then they were sure that I was indeed really odd.
One cool thing not mentioned in this video is that if you put the sheets against the transparent screen and press a point with your thumbs it creates a quick colorful wave around that point.

@MIXEDUPWORLD when I was a kid, there was no trail effect by doing so. only buzzing electrons. statics. and weird smell.
@MIXEDUPWORLD re: Fingers on your old style tv? Glass- razor sharp when broken- and usually DUST! Lots of it.😂🙄🤣😊
I had a few different old TVs growing up and these comments are nostalgia
I had a friend that would frequent LAN parties do this with their monitor to prevent screen peaking from other people.

I accidentally stumbled on this effect many years ago while driving a Volkswagen Beetle. I looked into the centre rear-view mirror and was shocked to find that the rear window had crazy rainbow-coloured blotches all over it. However, when I took my polarized sunglasses off, the effect disappeared. I later learned that it was a bad idea to wear polarized sunglasses whilst in the cockpit of a plane, because the same effect can occur with an acrylic windscreen, severely hampering a pilot's visibility and creating an unsafe condition.
The bigger reason pilots don't wear polarized sunglasses is it will blank out cockpit displays.
Well, that and the fact that you don't really have to worry about glare from horizontal surfaces while flying.
@@brianwright9514 they see all the same horizontal surfaces and more, including glints off of other aircraft which are very important not to miss... so they can be missed.
for me it was the magnifying lens sheets stuck on windows in the 80s to see blindspots in vans. LOL
Sunglasses and car windows do things like that, probably because tempered car windows are made of multiple layers.
Now i know why people think im crazy when I talk about the "iridescence" in light
My kid freaked me out when he was younger and was staring at a light saying "I see all the colours"
Right, I always thought people could see the rainbowy patterns on plastic ware...
@@Hysube I don't see it in most plastics, but occasionally I do. I always just assumed that those plastics were different, but the effect is so faint I hardly ever notice it and don't point it out to people
@@surelock3221 I don't either I was just unawares of those who couldn't see it lol
Yeah same I thought everyone could see it

@@anarchyantz1564 Duct tape is over rated. Except on lips- don't let it touch the inner part of your lips. I tried using duct tape to remove hair from my leg once, and it didn't work.
I found this out by accident while wearing RealD 3D movie theatre glasses at home once and eating a freezie (one of those frozen tubes of flavoured juice that you give to kids, if you don't know) and I looked at the clear packaging through the glass with my monitor in the background and it blew my mind. I spent like 20 minutes just rotating it and trying out different pieces of plastic and I was firmly mesmerized. I looked up some explanations online, but this video is one of my favourites. Awesome content.
You must eat a lot of carrots, I don't see anything. (Literally, the pigments thought to be responsible for this come from carrots)
I tried moving closer to the screen and realized that the yellow blobs became much smaller. Then I moved a few feet back and the yellow blobs were now much larger. You don't need to look only in the middle of the screen. The polarized light blobs can be seen anywhere on the screen. Wherever you look, they appear. Just tip your head and they move back and forth! I now feel confident that I can travel with the migrating birds and sea turtles. Thanks Dianna.
Hmm, nope, didn't work for me. I wonder what percentage of humans can see it.
Edit: now actually I do see some yellow - for me it helps to tilt the laptop rather than my head.

Something really interesting, not mentioned in the video: the yellow-blue Heidinger brush also is visible in nature at the sky. It stands perpendicular to the sun, best visible for a brief period of time during sunrise and dawn.

Cool content! A few years old and still interesting. Hey, in photography we use circular and linear pole filters for lenses - mostly, to eliminate reflections (water surfaces, windows, and so on), but also as tool to enhance the color contrast. (λ/2 - λ/4)

I can't wait to read all of the arguments in the comment section. This video was very polarizing.
Oh, hey, your puns are here, too. I almost thought you were only around in the SciShow comments :P
I wave off your criticism, since it's out of sync with the modern perspectives.
Personally, this video resonated with me very well; maybe you're just not on the right wavelength my friend... if you just open your eyes, I'm sure you'll see the light.

Polar bears at the North Pole... now just wait a Dipole Moment there...
(Chemistry joke, probably too obscure to be funny)
What an amazing channel. I’ve just come across you, and subbed straight away!
If you have a 33.3 rpm record, put two strips of adhesive tape radially (center to edge) across the tracks and press them into the grooves so the adhesive copies the grooves. You now have two polarizing lenses. Put one on a piece of acrylic, the 2nd on another and experiment. The lines in the adhesive will act as polarizers.
One of the coolest part is having 2 polarized filters so that nothing passes through... and then adding 3rd filter between them and all of them become transparent once again!
joonatanu Wait, seriously? How does that work?
I'm not sure if that happens. Let me check
they dont become fully transparent, the middle filter just "refreshes" the polarization and allows some light (but not all) to make it through.
iau
Say filter 1 is vertical, all light coming through it is now vertically polarized.
Filter 2 is 45-degrees diagonal. Equal portions of the light is either let through or blocked (vertical light can be broken up into 2 diagonal components).
Filter 3 is horizontal. Once again, equal portions of the light coming through the diagonal filter is either let through or blocked (diagonally-polarized light can be broken up into vertical and horizontal components).
So you basically use the middle diagonal filter to "rotate" some of the light so that it can then pass through the horizontal filter.
Edit: Keep in mind, vertical and horizontal are relative to your reference frame which is arbitrary. Nothing is inherently _vertical_ or _horizontal,_ it's more about measuring perpendicularity. A photon that is polarized perpendicular to its filter won't pass through. Otherwise, it has a _chance_ of passing through.
Its because the light only cares about the difference between both filters. The equation is cos^2(theta), theta being the angle between both filters. So if you have the two filters at 90deg from each other, then it gives you 0% light exiting. If you have a middle filter then you have 45deg from first to second which gives you 50%, then second filter to the last gives you 50% again, which is ends up with 25% light at the end.
Dianna, you're amazing!!!! So much energy and enthusiasm. You are without a doubt my favorite TH-cam-er! You're simply the best, better than all the rest!
I love your demos........you have so much fun when you're making them! That's how I sound when I make a speech to myself in the bathroom mirror. I'm aspiring to being as brave as you on camera for the entire planet to see!!! Thanks Dianna.
I noticed an interesting related effect when wearing polarized sunglasses inside a motorcycle helmet. the rainbow colours you see from stresses in the plastic (the helmet visor in my case) are dependent on the light being polarized, and because each eye is looking through a different part of the visor, horizontally polarized light would be differently tinted to each eye, where most other randomly polarized light was barely affected.
Riding around on a rainy day, the whole street is psychedelic rainbow colours.
But what was more interesting is that on a dry day the effect was pretty subtle. The bounce off the road still polarized the light but not nearly as strongly, but any wet spots or oil patches on the road seem highlighted intensely due to the stronger polarization giving them a more intensely coloured tint which is different for each eye.
Diana, your enthusiasm and child-like delight at all things physicsy always put a smile on my grumpy old face. Your channel is worth more than you realize.
Curiosity. Only thing not holding children back.
@@jacobshirley3457 Lack of curiosity is what holds us older folks back... (aka adults). I'm glad I still maintain a strong sense of curiosity.

This was awesome😃👍🏻 thanks a lot! I always struggled to understand what's going on with light polarization and polarized sunglasses and your explanations were true food to my curiosity - thank you😊🤗
Crossed polarized sheets. I use that all the time when analyzing minerals. Take a look at pics of thin section slides of rocks taken with crossed polars. Some are gorgeous, most are interesting and unexpected.
you can see those colors aswell when ur on LSD.
SexyGFX true
I was just thinking that when they showed the spoons lol
You can train yourself to see quite a range of things. It's similar to the Tetris effect. With a few exceptions, anything you make your brain do for long enough will eventually become fairly automatic.
I have seen it on my migraine medication
Ah, the good old days...
Wow, as a French viewer, I wasn't ready to see Leo from Dirty Biology.
Thanks to share other channels than English languaged ones.
Great video by the way
When learning to fly I was told that I can only wear neutral density aviator glasses, not polarised glasses. I was taught that is because light aircraft screens are made of an acrylic or, in the case of higher speed aircraft or where laminated screens are required, polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is used.
I bought a pair of polarised glasses one day to see for myself and was amazed at how messed up with colours the aircraft screen was. I thought well at least I could use the for driving but no, I saw the same patterns on my car windscreen as it was laminated glass.
I'm impressed that they got through this whole video without saying "wavelength" or mentioning the electromagnetic spectrum. At least I learned kind of what polarization is.
Just FYI to everyone, the sheets are pretty cheap on amazon. Make sure to check the reviews though. Some are sold alone, some in packs. Some are 6in x 6in, some are 3x3.
KevinMcNoodles If you don’t wanna w8 in the mail you can salvage old laptop screen from their filters with a good cutter and a steady hand. There’s a tutor on Instructable
I agree, that is the best way to get them. I disassembled more old LCDs from defective notebooks with damaged screens like more than 10 years ago.
This was awesome! Honestly I love learning about light! You should do more light videos! Anyway loved the video!
Is being able to see polarized light rare? I've always liked just looking at things until I got the slight eye burn in and then blinking, the polarized light is really visible if you do that.
Still praying for you Diana miss yer video's really hope you feel better soon :) glad you have such a great support system 💖

Anyone ever noticed the stress areas on some car tempered glass windows? normally I see them as a grid of circles from where the flame heads heated the glass during manufacture. They get darker and lighter inversely somewhat when tilting you head.
Never noticed. But now look crazy doing the head tilt cross-eyed looking at my car window. I’ll keep an eye out for this though
omg I thought I was the only one, funny I didn't make the connection when watching the video but at least now I can learn more about it.
Yeah whenever I drive with polarizing sun glasses it gets so strong that I have to not try to look at all the different patterns of all the different cars on the road.
look at it through polarized film or glasses. Does the same thing as the knife and fork did in this video.
I was wondering what that was!!!
you could probably calculate how much the light is being bent by the tape by looking at what colors are visible... it seems to follow the complimentary color rule: yellowish orange with blue, green and red (although it's kinda hard to see and it seems to like to switch to the next set instead of stay at green red), and purple and apparently a dark blue/teal and some orange for some reason? idk that last one is iffy cause purple is supposed to be opposite yellow and blue is opposite orange. but all of that is paint color theory so idk how it would work in visible light spectrum as these objects are letting certain light pass through rather than reflect. also it seems at the 45 degree angles the whole thing goes back to clear, so maybe that diagonal light is not getting split?
Thanks for the info. Learned something today.
Another weird thing about polarization is that as you add more layers of the "tape", it actually can let MORE light through than fewer layers. It can get VERY weird and unintuitive.

@Emilio Vicente I think French is quite difficult to learn
I've seen articles where structural engineers used to make transparent acrylic cross sections of certain structures (Cathedral arches, complex steel girder structures, etc...) and examine them under polarized light while exerting stress on the cross section. The polarized light showed where stresses would build up, exposing potential stress buildup, failure points, etc...
This girl's energy is literally half of the reason i watch her videos.
She doesn't stop does she, ha ha.
"literally"
ok I feel this wasn't explained clearly enough so let me explain:
1. The first polarized film filters the light so they all have the same polarization/direction.
2. The tape then refracts the light differently depending on wavelength/colour, but since they all started out in the same direction all light of the same colour is now twisted the same way.
3. Finally, the second polarizing filter now sorts out the light of one particular direction and since we determined that a particular colour now have a particular orientation, it's going to let through a certain colour.
It's the nanoscopic air-gap that refracts the colours, just like oil on water but since the distance is not perfect and they used more than one layer you will see other colours as well that will have the same orientation but be of a different colour.
@Mikael Murstam, Thank you for additonal expanation!

@@animeloveer97 i'm pretty sure they are tho? I mean those greyish ones.
@@animeloveer97 modern 3d glasses are polarized. One side is vertical and the other is horizontal, so one eye is only seeing half of the two slightly parallaxed 3d images. Some IMAX screen used circularly polarized light and one lens is clockwise and the other is counter clockwise, It creates a less perceived flicker in 3D films.

BR?
My name just so happens to be Leo and what they’re showing us is basically how LCDs work
Want to *really* blow your mind? Put two polarizers at 90 degrees to each other, so all light is blocked... Then insert a 3rd polarizer between the two -- and you'll see the light coming through again!! 'Splain how three polarizers block *less* light than two polarizers!! Go Google that one -- it's a really cool explanation.
It's bell's thoerem yall
Mariano Ntrougkas but the point is that it’s so counterintuitive! From face value it seems non sensical. The 2 initial filters block all incoming light. So adding on in between shouldn’t change the outcome...or so it seems
@@Riiisuu I think it's counterintuitive because most people would expect the 3rd filter to be added to the end (after the light has been "cancelled"). If you put it in the middle, it would probably interfere with the cancellation, so then it's unsurprising.
Ryan Stallard but most people would think that it would increase the percentage blocked, not decrease
@@Riiisuu I hope most people would not have thought that. If you think you can increase the blocked light past 100%, I want what you're smoking. Would be sick. "Buy a Flashdark today!"
All I can focus on was that piece of your hair sticking up at the end, thanks for a good laugh, love the science, you're awesome! ✌️😀
Awesome explanation of light. Half way in though I couldn't take my eyes off the few stray hairs pointing up on Physics girl. Did we do a static electricity experiment just before this video? hmm? lol. great stuff keep up the good work.
i could have Leo talk to me about cat litter and i would be in love

Wait, he wasn't?
Omg thank you ! I've always wondered how the polarized lenses you put on the microscope to examine rocks works !
(D'ailleurs Léo c'est quoi cet accent anglais ?? :p)
Thank you for keeping the white polarized image on on the screen TWICE for about TWO SECONDS EACH. That's certainly enough time to examine if I can see some faint unknown pattern that shows up only when i repeatedly tilt my head slowly from side to side...
I like how I came here to learn if I can see the pretty colors and you guys got me to learn a bunch of other stuff

I find more mysterious why _only some_ humans can slightly perceive polarisation.
Only only some have color blindness, some humans have faster reflexes than others, only some people are blonde.
We are all individuals with different properties.
Yeah I tried this for a while, I have no YellowCirc pigments in my eyes for sure...
I discovered I can see it too - I saw what I would describe as "yellow wings" - but not the blue. Really cool
It's not that strange, some people have a lot more sensitive eyes to light in general. It's for that reason I wear sunglasses all year round.
The part about the tape twisting light makes more sense to me than whatever quantum explanation I've seen previously about "probabilities" and other such magic.
Most car glass does this as well. It's cool when you are driving on a partly cloudy day, so there is a new light landscape every turn.

when I tilt my head very fast clockwise, I get vertical yellow dots.
Now I feel dizzy.
At first I just smiled at your "fast to dizzy" comment. But with unknown reason I followed it, and then I saw the yellowish dots!
When I followed the "tilt slowly" instruction, I didn't notice the yellowish dots. Now I can see it. Thanks. :-)
yeh, it does do something odd... like it rotates in the opposite direction as your head rotates
I could see those dots without turning my head...
at first i was like "what I can see them without turning my head"...
and then I realized that was because I was lying on my side while watching the video xD
thats your brain being pounded against your skull as you move. you are died now
She's so beautifully happy to be teaching this subject is great to see people doing what they love to do
This actually explains to me why my cellphone screen goes all rainbow/hyper-intense color when I have my shades on. Between my shades, the screen protector decal, and I guess the screen of the phone itself, somewhere in that there's a weird reaction.
Was not expecting Dirty Biology
Not complaining tho
Physics girl, I love your enthusiasm, lively personality and how you make your videos so much fun and easy to understand. You rock PG!!! ❤️

Also, Dr. Leo.... VERY polarizing😉🤤
i first found this out cuz i have polarized sunglasses and i love to see all the colors when i look at/through some types of windows.. it seems like it does it when the car windows are tinted or something. don't know what it is exactly but its really neat.
