    When we reached the atomists in a class I took my mind was blown by how much they were able to intuit via logic and reasoning. It was only the lack of tools to test these theories that allowed the idea to die out for centuries.

      Nah, the Greek philosophers had a lot of ridiculous ideas, if they got atoms kinda right it's just by luck.

      I wouldn't say luck. The greek philosophers had a deep problem with the concept of infinity. Cutting something infinitely often into parts was something that frightened them. Infinity was something that led to strange and obviously wrong conclusions as can be seen by the famous paradoxes of Zeno of Elea.
      Zeno set up a thought experiment as follows:
      How do you walk from A to B? Well, you walk to a position halfway between A and B. Lets call it C. Once C is reached, you walk from C to B.
      But how do you reach C? Easy. You walk to a point D, halfway in between A and C. How do you walk to D? Same idea: You walk from A to a point E, halfway in between A and D. And so on, and so on.
      Since one can repeat this process infinitely often, it seems you will never get from A to B. The conclusion is unavoidable: It is impossible to walk from A to B and thus motion in itself is just an illusion.
      The greek philosophers could not disprove this concept (Zeno came up with a number of other paradoxa, which shared the same concept - extrapolate some process to infinity) and it took centuries until mathematicians figured out, how to avoid the conclusion: inifinte series can have a finite limit.

      That's how science works, though. Come up with as many ideas as you can, and the ones that don't work go away.
      That's also how biological evolution happens. Random mutations produce millions of species. Those that don't work out away.

      They also lacked the tools to do anything else with that idea. It died out for centuries because no one could build a bomb out of it.
      As soon as the state discovers that your science can create a better weapon, then the scientists get money.

    You earned my subscription! Fantastic explanations of the models and how things were uncovered. I thought I knew quite a bit and there were definitely some things I knew but this filled in a lot of gaps.
    The only difference I think about your ending statement is that people have evil hearts and will take things that are good like nuclear power and make it into weapons. I know that we have recently been able to induce fusion reactions, but I think the ultimate source of energy will come when we are able to annihilate atoms via anti-matter, but this too I fear will become weaponized.

    1. Cover Randal Mill’s “hydrino”, an even lower energy state for hydrogen.
    2. Cover the Structured Atom Model (SAM) which provides GREAT intuitive insight into atomic behavior using a highly simplified model (it’s incredibly simple yet intuitively explains many otherwise peculiar facts about atom splitting and merging and max size).

    Something I'm missing in this video is Einstein's "other" paper on Brownian motion, which provides additional support for the atomic model. The French scientist Jean Perrin then devised experiments that confirmed Einstein's work. As with a lot of these things, it straddles the line of what we think of as chemistry and physics. Whether it's as important as Einstein's other work... got me there. But what makes it cool is that the experiments can be done safely at home with simple equipment; no need for cathode rays, radioactive substances, electron/stm/AFM microscopes, etc.

    Spectacular video! Watched from start to finish at launch hour at work, and then again at night. Quick recomendation: upon your mention of the black body radiation, it was most commonly known, at that times, as the "Ultraviolet Catastrophe" where theory suggested that the spectral radiation wavelength in the ultraviolet spectrum of glowing metalic objects should've been infinite (meaning, in mundane terms, that they should emit infinite energy at uv levels). It was solved by the grandfather of quantum mechanics, the great Max Planck, by proposing a new theorical model with quantized levels of energy (hereby the name quantum).
    Physics Explained has a marvelous video about the subject, and I suggest you look for and watch it.

It is not mentioned when or why this view was replaced with the idea that the neutron was a fundamental particle of it's own (of course that would itself eventually be replaced with the quark model, but my understanding is that for some time in between the neutron was thought to be fundamental).

      I think the reason that the video stops where it it does is that there's no "quark chemistry" as such.

    Seems like Rutherford & his students don’t get enough credit for their work.

    Where can I get one of hos? Does it come in kit form? May not need all the parts like lead shielding.

    Thanks for calling Rutherford a new Zealander. A lot of sources call British because he did his research in Britain

    It’s crazy how lots of the older scientists were operating off logic and instinct before the methodology to test their hypothesis came out centuries later. Which proved many correct.

    Hello.... Are you currently in your postdoc? Or assistant professor? Can I contact you in anyway. I too love history of chemistry and want to do such studies. If I can contact you in anyway that would be too inspiring to me.

      Since finishing my PhD, I no longer work in academia. Now, I take a personal interest in continuing to learn about chemistry and history, and this channel is all about sharing that interest with you guys! Best of luck with your studies👨‍🔬

    Thank FUCK we called them electrons and not corpuscles... he didn't cook with that one.

    How did Dalton figure out the assumptions in chapter 2?
    I understand from chapter 3 the electron onwards.

    At 32:40, the video says that people have wavelengths, but the bigger the mass of matter, the smaller the wavelength. Does this mean that we have a high frequency wavelength while electrons have a low frequency wavelength?

    • @ivoivanov7407
      @ivoivanov7407 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Frequency and wavelength are in inverse relation. The longer is the wavelength, the lower is the frequency. So, electron being smal have high frequency, short(er) wavelength, while humans have long, low frequency wavelengths.

    • @DeJay7
      @DeJay7 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      And not only that ^^^, but the so called de Broglie wavelength for any object of significant mass is so large compared to the length of the object itself, that it, in fact, does not REALLY exist.

    • @frisofeenstra3995
      @frisofeenstra3995 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Things are even more funny then that. Indeed humans can also described as waves, with un incredible high frequency. Now these waves also have a amplitude, which indicates the problability of observing the object at a location. Now the amplitude quickly becomes very small, which is why humans, are normally observed, where they are. But since it only becomes small, and not zero, you can observe someone, for instance, in a bar, when others, observe him at work. All part of quantum physics.
