Physicists have a pretty good handle on how stuff behaves on the surface of the Earth. But a lot of matter in the universe exists outside this narrow band of relatively low temperatures and pressures. Inside planets and stars, the crushing force of gravity begins to overwhelm the electromagnetic and nuclear forces that keep atoms apart and maintain the shapes of molecules.
What happens next? Scientists (including a consortia of researchers at the NSF’s Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures) are just starting to figure that out. They use a variety of tools (including some humongous lasers) to simulate planetary cores and see what happens. A few standout findings so far:
Water can become a hot black ice that conducts electricity: www.quantamagazine.org/black-...
Hydrogen gas can be compressed down into a shiny metal: www.newscientist.com/article/...
Sodium (a soft, silvery metal at atmospheric pressure) can turn transparent: www.sciencedaily.com/releases...

This was absurdly well produced. Makes me feel like I'm a kid watching a science show on TV again.
I always loved watching science documentaries as a kid.
I second that, the production is top notch.
It kinda looks like it was made for kids.
Yeh worryingly so :D Hope they don't go bust like Vice!
yeah I loved the end with the quick round-up

I’m surprised you guys didn’t talk about neutron stars. They’re probably the most dense bunches of matter in the universe after black holes. After reaching the pressures of a neutron star, electrons quite literally FUSE with the protons in the nucleus of an atom turning all protons into neutrons. A neutron star consists of what is known as “nuclear pasta” and it would’ve been cool to see you guys cover that.
The reason they didn't would prob fall under the reasoning that all of that info is purely theoretical and untested, electrons as compared to protons and neutrons, are technically unobserveable, and even now we only have a "good idea" of how they work. Such is the complexity of being tiny.
Because that is theoretical physics we can only observe and predict some calculations. These are real life experiments, where you actually can see the effects of these enormous pressures on every day substances. I think that kept the subjects separated for this reason
Neutron stars are just theory not reality
@@willow7466at 9:00, scientists start to "think" instead of "see", so this video has already strayed into the theoretical physics playground
I have some lumps beneath the skin on the palms of my hand. These formed while I was opening a really tight jar of pickles. I'm pretty sure they're tiny neutron stars because I did squeeze really hard.
10/10
From Intro to Outro, even perfectly fitting music. Whatever team this scripted and produced, you are clearly perfectionists enjoying themselves.
Literally an outro like an anime or tv show 10/10
I would say the music needed to be a bit lower in volume, but the rest is quite spot on. This was very fun to watch ! :)
Is it something I could find on spotify or was it made exclusively for this video? I got it stuck in my head lol
@@PROVE1202 At 11:12 people who made the music are listed in the credits. Maybe you can find something through their names.
@@HighFlyer96 First off thanks, I did some digging and It seems that it was made specifically for the credits, which is unfortunate
As a PhD student working on matters at high pressure, I am amazed by the scientific precision and easy-to-follow demonstration. Simply amazing.
Just out of curiosity, do you study/learn/theorize about the types of matter believed to be in neutron stars, like nuclear spaghetti and nuclear pasta? I was kinda hoping Vox would bring it up here, but they didn't :/
@@ryanmcintyre3616 No, the things I study are still made of atoms. I'm not sure if people are able to produce the pressure found in neutron stars, but this certainly is the future of science.
@@yushidong7712 thanks for the info, and, as far as I know, humanity hasn't found a way to reproduce the conditions found in neutron stars.
Atoms contain 99.999999% empty vacuum space. Why matter is not 99.9999% compressible?
I have a question as well. Do you know if any of these materials are predicted to be stable once produced? Is there some hypothetical carbon XII you could make with the weight of jupiter, that you could then remove and use to make things with? If so that opens up a lot of possibilities in the future.
I really appreciate you traveling all the way to the center of the sun for this video; really demonstrates your dedication to your work
bro he didn't actually travelled inside the sun bro it's just an animation the real guy is actually just in a green screen bro and he-

@@moonshot3159 if you look closely, the sun is all around him, so he must have travelled through the sun. What do you think spacex has been doing lately? thats how he got there
Bonus points for diving into it during the day. That's honest work!
This was a really friggin well made video. High energy density and high pressure physics are fascinating
This is the first video in a while that actually kept me interested all the way through. Great job, the animation is amazing and such a hard topic was submitted in such simple form
Great video but you should work on repairing your attention span which has clearly been destroyed by social media.

Super nice job on the animations in this video. Keep up the good work, Vox!
"Good work"
It's pretty telling about the pop-sci genre that there are more comments about the animations than the 45cm wide laser. Lol! In spite of all the cartoons they even barely grazed the surface of discussing this scientific phenomenon . Mentioned electromagnetism once or twice and showed a cartoon guy holding a tower on his hand. Good video for a 3year old maybe?
@@mechez774the video is made for general audiences and is meant to entertain. It’s supposed to incite scientific curiosity in those who aren’t already interested in the concepts. If you already have a baseline knowledge of the subjects and want to know more, u should probably read a paper. This video was never meant to be more than a surface level introduction and it’s made clear through the presentation
well your goal is fruiting
Atoms contain 99.999999% empty vacuum space. Why matter is not 99.9999% compressible?
This is arguably one of the best videos I've seen on this platform in terms of storytelling and production. Amanzing job!
This video was perfect from start to finish, the topic , how the video was structured, animated and edited, what a masterpiece.
Vox turning a new leaf and making science videos now. Love the video btw.
They've been making those for years now. It's how I got to know about them.
@@deathtrap5556same! For me it's the biomimicry video
They’ve been doing that
Nothing new
Implying they're betraying some sort of anti-science stance?
I love how Vox made this highly technical topic interesting to the average people like me. More of this please! 😊
Agree. Accessible to a wide range of audience.
How does it feel to be average ?!
It’s nice that so many can watch and get something out of it
@@speed999-uj5kr could be better, could be worse
@@speed999-uj5kr what's that supposed to mean? some people need exposure and learning for science topics and this is easy to understadna and highly visual
I love these videos, it shows that every expert understands so slightly more than the average person that we all truly know nothing as truth.
I love these kinds of videos, stuffing my head full of little facts I can spout for fun, that are also insanely intresting
I haven't seen something this amazingly well created from Vox in a while. More please!
I didnt think they would make a titan submersible joke
@@RichestBluezThere even was an implosion sound effect lol
I thought the same! Please, more of this and less politics!!!
So good, I hit subscribe...
When Vox stays away from the woke garbage they actually produce good stuff.
I think this is my new favorite vox episode
The story telling
The animations
The graphics
The content
And especially the end
Great job
dont forget THE ROCK
yep, really wondering what's the ending song is
@@anhquang5466 CC says Lump of Coal by Adam Cole
The ending gave me the same feeling I get after a great movie
@@RichardCox0 Exactly what I thought, and why its my new favourite episode!
A pure masterpiece of a video! Absolutely amazing work. 👏🏼👏🏼
The very unconventional style of the visuals works perfectly! More please!!
Vox is the one media source that seems like they’re actually trying to improve every time
this video got recommended to me yesterday but I thought it looked a bit "clickbaity", so I just ignored. Today I noticed it was from Vox, which instantly made me change my mind about watching it :P you can't go wrong with a Vox video.
@@Onimirare T, you very well can go wrong with a Vox video but if it's something like this, then it's almost certainly objectively true with no spin.
@@Cecilia-ky3uw
Honestly, I lean more left than I do right and _I_ see your point
@@Onimirareyou most certainly can💀
Obviously the visuals were amazing, but lets congratulate the sound design and music as well! Fantastic video!
the whole production was amazing
can't find the song at the end anywhere. anyone got the source?
Sound was great, except for that one echoey room the host was sometimes in. I found it distracting.
@@shivrajtakhell9111 Ditto. CC says "Lump of Coal" but I still can't find the song.
What an amazing video. I was able to watch it through even though I have severe unmedicated ADHD, something I thought impossible. Thank you.
Eh.. if you have ‘severe ADHD’ you should probably get that medicated?
@@bg-zn4gj Funny catch 22 there, getting medicated for ADHD involves a lot of phone calls, doctors appointments and testing, things which are made significantly more difficult when you have ADHD.
Well done, what an excellent production. Thank-you!
I worked at the Omega facility for10 +years. This has to be one of one of the coolest places I've ever worked. Knowing that you're doing something that is the only place on the planet that is happening. I worked with laser beam shaping and pointing to the target. Witnessed a few bizarre things while I was there as well. At $15K (electricity to charge the capacitor banks) you had to be on your game 110% of the time. Not to mention the years worth of planning by the principle investigators. Very cool.
Hey mate, what kind of strange things if I may ask?
Care to expand on the strange things witnessed?
@@LarryFish3rman or the 110%? How much pressure does it take to get 110% to only be 100%?
he didnt say he was getting any pressure to 110%. he was saying that you needed to alert at all times because it costs $15k per laser shot.... @@brokenrecord3523
@stevefoote9995 I wonder what of kind of insurance policies the scientists running these experiments might take out since they have to plan things months or years before actually getting to do the experiment. Like let's say, for some reason a sensor inside the chamber fails for whatever reason, how do these guys proceed?
The production value of this is off the charts. I loved everything about this episode

Well now that they told us they can do it. How? What's that "window" made out of that it can take such pressures? How is that kind of pressure measured. I literally dont believe this.
Shut it down, this TH-cam commentator doesn't believe it's real and DESTROYS scientist with logic
This is probably one of the best videos explaining fusion.
None of this is new information. Delete this
Nah it’s pretty boring and slow
This barely explains fusion
@@tigpowerleck998 wow, it must be painful being the flawless illuminated intelligence you are in a world of plebs and amoebae.
@@nearbylegends It provides a lot of the context and background necessary for understanding the process and why it's difficult, which is better than most publications do when they try to explain just fusion
This is a really super high quality content, it's such a pleasure to watch, plus it's science, what's not to love. Massive thank you to all the people who are involved in making this video. 😊
This really is a good animation, i hope this kind of style is being made again, and that Titan explosion sound though, nice touch
Absolutely incredible production quality, a lesson not just to aspiring physicists but also to media students.
ok
@@tamnguyen-bl7jf if you’re ok, we’re ok
This felt like watching Natgeo and Discovery in my childhood. Very well put together and was an absolute treat to watch!
Animations were spot on. Explaining a very complex topic in a down to earth (see what I did there) fashion.
That was so cool and interesting! Loved the art style as well
This was by far my favourite Vox video. Please, please, please continue to make quality educational content like this. It was fantastic. That song at the end was the cherry on top.
Agreed!!
I thought so too! Like Jonathan Coulton but straight-up science anthropomorphization... fun without being darkly hilarious. ;-)

I just wanted to stop watching the video 2 minutes in to appreciate the animations. Great job. Loving it!
Sound design was on point. HEY I’M WALKING HERE 10:00
I really appreciate you all centering a graduate student researcher in this video. They're often the best communicators and the most innovative thinkers (and the ones who do the massive majority of the actual work that goes into research), and it's important to recognize their input and contributions.
Adding to this for those not in the fields, there have been studies, peer reviewed, that showed most scientific breakthroughs are done during that graduate student timeframe - in the normal age range for master's or PhD degrees - and most scientists only lecture or expand on that original discovery.
@@LabGecko This is the period in a scientists life where they are truly scientists per the definition. Their minds are open and for them anything is possible, all theories are questionable, and discovery possibilities endless. Then publishing and tenure grab hold and they literally become the most absolutely closed off, ridged, myopic rubes the world produces. I call this the gotta get mine and keep mine conundrum.
that's a very common but idealistic view of graduate school
I went in with that same misconception and was horribly disappointed at the reality of academic science.
lol keep in mind also that those close minded rubes are managing the grad students' research.
this and all the politics and bad science that results from it is what made me so disappointed & disgusted with academia.
I doubt they’re learning anything else than wokism these days. Even (and especially) in the so-called “prestigious” ones.
I was amazed by the scientific accuracy and easy-to-follow demonstration. As a PhD student working on high pressure topics.
I really appreciate all of you focusing on a graduate student researcher in this video. I have to imagine what it would be like to grow up with this kind of content available?
This video was made for you! Interesting field.
This is the best animated TH-cam explainer video I've ever watched.
amazing grafics, and direction in general!! The part about the laser generatin pressure its really good. I would add that, in the core of the Sun tho, the pressure alone its not enough for the fussion to happen. The temperature and the tunnel effect have major roles in nuclear fussion. apart of that detail, i had never seen a video of Vox, and if they are all like this, i will be very pleased :o
This was so well made. I feel like I'm watching PBS as a kid. Please make more! There can never be enough science communication shows. The animations in the is were absolute perfection!
Absolutely love the graphics, storytelling and animation. So much fun and unusually strange.
The rock!
Bill Nye vibes
Holy, the quality of the animation, sound design, the humor and narration are just top tier. I'm not even a native english speaker but that was so well done, i was able to fully understand the subject.
That's a pity we don't have the same medium of work at school, it could give a new interest in science.
Fantastic! You keep getting better and better ‼️❤️🇨🇦
One interesting thing about pressure that you didn’t mention: pressure also dilates spacetime, just like acceleration. Actually neutron stars wouldn't even be able to form without pressure induced spacetime dilation.
This is exactly why vox didn't mention this. Flies right over your head.

@@varunguptatallam111 sorry for the kinda slow reply
In the credits ( 11:07 ) of the video it says "Adam Cole" is the Producer/Animator, so the most likely scenario is that he produced just this little bit of song just for this video.
(random thing i noticed: looking at the credits of the video itself, it says " Lump of Coal - Adam *Coal* " but the captions say " Lump of Coal - Adam *Cole* ")
I really like the small detail of the meter going up to the laser's capable limit when the laser is shot.
The creator of the song said that the song was only made for the outro, so yeah. No luck
