    I love the way you use the phrase "building blocks of chemistry" rather than the way I learned back in the 1950's "building blocks of matter". Yours is way more accurate. Teaching is the process of passing knowledge on in a way that is understandable. If the student doesn't understand it, it's not teaching, just babbling.

    My; brother, you’re brilliant. Like, so brilliant, I’m willing to sound like an idiot to say it haha. You broke it down, in such a way, that I can now explain definitively, the difference between elements and atoms, w/not a confusing textbook definition that doesn’t really answer the question, but with relevant history that makes much more since as to the difference between the two. The difference is simply a result of the original ignorance of the fact that atoms exist. Logically/naturally, we found elements first, because they are massive conglomerates of smaller identical units. In other words, the purest form of substance, but not the smallest, hence, the atom. The atom is the smallest unit of an element, that is identical to other units of that element, with respect to proton - mass ratio, but also considering the range of said ratio, given the existence of isotopes. In any event, the amount of protons is consistent.

    It has been TOOOO long since you have added to this category!
    We would love a video "what is chemistry and physic"? or something like that, which explains what chemistry and physics are (the studies of matter and energy) and then clearly explain such things as properties, matter, volume, displacement, mass, density, buoyancy, malleability, ductility, and luster.
    Another video about what makes things solid, amorphous solids, liquid, or gas, and freezing points, melting points, condensation points, and viscosity would THOROUGHLY save my son's first 8 weeks of school.
    Looking forward into his book I'm already stressed about what is coming next:
    Newton's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd laws... dynamics of motion, forms of energy, sound waves, frequencies, and light-waves, color spectrum, and then magnetism?!
    And he is supposed to understand this all from a TEXTBOOK and boring fill in the blank worksheets?! Stated Clearly please save us!!

      ATOM.
      Atom = electron (active) + proton (passive). In simple atom, 99.9% of the space is empty,
      because the distance between electron and proton is 10^-10 m. But if one electron tied
      two protons, then the distance is 10^15 m. (closer to each other by as much as
      five orders of magnitude). The more complex the atom, the shorter the distance
      and its outer space tends to zero, while the inner field increases and becomes nuclear.
      All interactions (EM, nuclear, weak) are the result of the connection between electrons
      and protons and depend on the distance (and conditions) of interaction. These
      interactions obey Pauli's law: "There can be only one electron in an atom: simple or complex."

      I think it's an unfair portrayal of democritus and his theory. Democritus and his followers had many reasons for believing that reality was made from individual bits of stuff. In fact democritus was one of the first to take a non-teleological and mostly non-mystical view of the world. All things had natural laws and cause which ruled over interactions. An especially ignorant comment about Democritus is that infinity made him feel uncomfortable. Democrituss was one of the few of his time that embraced the infinite and the total lack of anything at all. The few that accepted the idea that time stretched into the past infinitely!
      His theory of atoms DEPENDS on infinity being a rigorous thing. One of the most compelling arguments the Atomists had in favour of the atoms was the idea that since the universe has always existed and that things seem to be in constant decay(entropy, a mountain's rock wears down overtime) that like the particles of sand on a beach there must be a point at which things stop decaying over time otherwise there would nothing. This is why Democritus happily proclaims "nothing but atoms and the void".

    Democritus's argument for the existence atoms didn't have anything to do with matter's infinite divisability. It was a response to the argument ex nihilo nihil fit by Parmenides. Parmenides in his book physics argued that nothing comes from nothing, thus change is merely illusory. Democritus argued that the conclusion (change is merely illusory) doesn't follow from the premise (ex nihilo nihil fit) if the cosmos is made of indivisible units. The changes (growth, decay, etc...) that occur in nature are merely the rearranging of these indivisible units.

      Correct assessment. As you can see, these debates were philosophical and metaphysical concerning the nature of the universe, proposed without any collectible data. No empirical method. Not scientific as we define that today. They were couch musings of classical philosophers purported as scientists or naturalists. Thought experiments without even mathematics to back them up.
      His prophetic idea well over 2000 years ago was in fact unprovable for many many centuries. Other similar but conflicting ideas eventually fell out of favor and were ignored by later thinkers and early naturalists and chemists. In the more recent centuries observations alluded indirectly to this ancient philosophy, and the ancient unsubstantiated philosophy became a guideline in the empirical quest as tools were developed to study elemental substance.
      So would the science you see postulated in the presented timeline, and tools developed to prove what was, in reality, just a philosophical wild guess that orthodox scientists wanted to accept as true, since they were sprung from a over two thousand year school of thought in conflict with an alternate thought... Would the modern science exist without the prophetic but completely unsubstantiated leap of faith.
      That is why empirical thought and investigation is only one aspect of human reason. It is counterproductive to respect ONLY that form of reason to the exclusion of the other three major forms. Without these prophetic postulations, we would have had little interest in seeing the unseen atom and our empirical science may have never looked. Science is not an absolute and will not always lead to all natural truths eventually. Many empirical efforts have led to false positives for decades or centuries, that were accepted. If false positives are taken as final truth, they will never be exposed as errors.
      Always doubt and always question.

      @caygesinnett6474 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@rudy6222 What makes you think there was nothing before the big bang? Phycists don't know what happened because their equations can't tell them what happened early in the big bang. Their equations can't tell them because we don't know what the fundamental particles do at that level of heat.
      Anyways, phycists have empirical evidence of matter coming from nonmatter.

      ​@Pluviophile :
      "I think they're trying to say the opposite. "Nothing comes from nothing."
      Which means, if anything's there then it's origins must have been something rather than nothing.
      And if the origins were "nothing", then there shouldn't have been anything.
      Hence, nothing comes from nothing.
      There must have been something before big bang which led to the formation of universe.
      "
      ==Pretty much nobody argues that something comes from nothing.
      The only time I have heard that argument is from creationists making a straw man arguments against the Big Bang or Lawrence Krauss.
      The Big Bang theory makes no such claim. Creationists know that church goers aren't science savvy and are unlikely to pick up a book about the subject and so, creationists give themselves the freedom to lie about it.
      When you read Lawrence Krauss's book, "A universe from nothing", he pretty much explains it in the first chapter. At one point in time, vacuum was considered a "nothing". Empty space was considered a "nothing". There is an experiment that suggests that particle pairs pop into existence and cancel each other out quickly, in other words, matter forms from "nothing".
      Or stated in another way, the universe / empty space is not a true nothing. It is some sort of stuff with its own properties. 100 years ago, it was called a "nothing".
      "There must have been something before big bang which led to the formation of universe."
      ==That's what human logic leads us to and no scientist, not even Krauss, is claiming that the universe came from nothing. The only people, making that claim are creationists.
