- Atoms are very weird. Wrapping your head around exactly how weird, is close to impossible - how can you describe something that is SO removed from humans experience? But then again, they kind of make up everything, so let us try anyways.

As usual, this was a superb video! However, at the end when you talk about all atoms of an element being identical, I would kinda like to disagree. Hydrogen for instance has 2 isotopes and other elements may also have their own isotopes.
Maybe correct that statement to "all atoms of an element have the same number of protons"
You are right, but Im pretty sure that they know that isotopes exist. I think that they just wanted to keep the video simple :-) and to be fair deuterium makes only about 0,005%(yes, I googled this) of hydrogen on earth and that is the most common isotope (of hydrogen).
PS: Just a little correction of your statement: Hydrogen does have more than 2 isotopes, but those only exist in laboratories :-)
There's more complexity here, too: even for the same isotope, there are a few cases where the nucleus can adopt one of two or more metastable states, where each state has slightly different properties (the most obvious is different half-lives); these are called nuclear isomers.
Guys you are going in the wrong direction......I got your point...but it's not fully true.
You say that you disagree with them bcuz hydrogen has an isotope or 2 and that they said every atom of hydrogen is same.....right?
Well..think of it in this way......if you have a collection of toys.......then no matter where they are...they are yours.
Now, these toys(that were exclusive to you) were created again for son of the creator. So when you see him with one of those toys...wouldn't you imply that the toy is yours?
But in reality, it's his toy...right?
In the same way....hydrogen has an isotope which has a different atomic makeup that itself but can you deny that every Deuterium atom isn't the same?
That's the point!
Hydrogen and Deuterium are two different elemental entities, they are different, just how carbon and silicon are different! I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
No, hydrogen and deuterium are the same chemical element; they're simply different isotopes. The identity of a chemical element is determined only by the number of protons in its nucleus. All hydrogen atoms have one proton. Hydrogen-1 (the most common isotope) has precisely one proton and one electron, and deuterium has one proton, one neutron, and one electron (and tritium has one proton, two neutrons, and one electron, etc.).
Now, for an interesting aside, hydrogen and deuterium do have slightly different chemical properties, but this is purely a function of their differing mass: because hydrogen is the lightest element anyways, a neutron is heavy enough to change the atom's mass by a significant margin, which changes its behavior in chemical reactions somewhat (though its behavior is still dominated by its electron).
Dinoguy1000 What I meant was...if you have 100 clones of yourself...and one of them is mutated by radiation....will that clone still be the same as you?
In the same way, there are a lot of H atoms but Deuterium (even though it's the same thing) is different than it(quite noticably) so, all the clones of yours will be exactly same as you but not that one, in the same way, they state that all the hydrogen atoms are the same but what they forgot to mention is...all the deuterium atoms are exactly same too, but not same as Hydrogen....I hope you get my concept now.

+Martin Verrisin They're the base of matter. They're made of themself
Hans Carabonala I'm joking, but there would certainly be scientist/curious people wondering what they are made of; wondering if technology can get good enough to find it....
+Martin Verrisin I guess that would make it complex once again, because people will theorize the fuck out of it.
Maybe the universe we live in is simple but our picture of it is to complicated

1:13 ... unless you are hydrogen.
Sorry, Neutron, no party for you.
Hydrogen atoms can have one or two neutrons in rare occasions.
ToCzegoSzukasz True, but that wasn't really the point, right? I was just busting balls more than anything, this is a fantastic channel.
+iambiggus Ah, okay.
+Sobsz Well what I can remember from school, then yes hydrogen can have neutrons in them, but then they arent really "real" hydrogen. They are part of one. Like a hydrogen with an extra neutron. I dont really remember what it is called, but it can be unstable with some atoms. And if I do recall correctly, then do all atoms like to be stable. Like have a even number of protons and neutrons (I cant remember if it is the same with electrons) I cant remember how we can count it out, but it is possible. In other words, the more or less protons or neutrons, you have in an atom core, then the other. Then you have what there is called an "unstable" atom
It's called "Deuterium" one isotopes of hydrogen
So atoms are mostly empty
Kurzgesagt: well yes, but actually no

atoms don't exist
what if atoms aren't small, we're just really big
We are made out of many, many atoms. That's why we are "big" and atoms are "small".
Size is relative. An atom can be said to be "small" and "big" at the same time. The same could be applied to us, or anything in the universe, really.
Waht if i told you the matrix is real?
everything is relative
or maybe they're just far away?

There is a science that explain this. It's called Chemistry.

@@kevinnorfolk1710 no. he means it literally. the place an electron can be is a probability. the probably can never be 0 so it can be in the opposite side of the universe. the chance is VERY SMALL. take it like this: the size of the universe is N, the probability of an electron at a distance is X, the distance between the atom and electron is S. lim S → N the value of X → 0.

That if you put a cat in a box, it's both dead and alive until you check inside the box and collapse the realities of what you think the cat is. But in this case, it's where electrons would be located. I hope this makes sense, because I just woke up lol
That's the idea. While you don't look, quantums are in 2 or more states.

Not true. Isotopes are a thing that exist.
Protium oxide is just fine
Deuterium oxide is mildly deadly
Tritium oxide is Appreciably deadly
All of these are H2O, and just by switching one H for a different H, you can significantly change some atoms.
+Ja-Shwa Cardell I suppose they meant regular protium hydrogen. I don't think they've made a video about isotopes yet.
+Ja-Shwa Cardell They talked about it that way for simplicity.
+Ja-Shwa Cardell I think he just meant every type of atom is exactly the same as every other atom of the same type. Every hydrogen is the same as every other hydrogren, every dueterium is the same as every other deuterium etc.
atoms make EVERYTHING so everything you see is the same and you have some of that in your body
I was waiting for someone to say this. Essentially, atoms can have different isotopes, which means they have varying amounts of neutrons. For example, Carbon-12 has 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons; Carbon-13 has 6 electrons, 6 protons, but 7 neutrons. The number of protons determines the element of the atom, the electrons determine the charge of the atom, and neutrons cause variances in mass. Almost every hydrogen atom is composed of just 1 electron and proton, no neutrons. But some hydrogen atoms do have neutron(s). So for the sake of simplicity, all atoms of an element are essentially the same, especially considering that many elements have one prevalent isotope over the others, but not ALL atoms of one element are the same.

This video is really informative. It seems starts out with (relatively) simple stuff, then hypothesizes about really insane and/or complicated stuff. Hence my fluctuation from "simple" to "how is that even possible" xD
I love science for this. :D
pupp3tStudios you don't love science. You just like to stare at her ass while she walks by. If you love science you'll study it at University. Also, only physics and some engineering is science.
( ͡° ͜c ͡° ) By making this statement you show how little you regard science.
( ͡° ͜c ͡° )
"you don't love science"
Who are you to say if a person loves science or not? Are you an omniscient god? How many hairs are on my head right now, what is the secret to immortality? You can never entirely be sure of anyone's tastes, and there's far more evidence against that point than supporting it. If a person watches a science video and comments on a related comment saying "I love science," there's a high probability that that person loves science, and little to no evidence given that proves otherwise.
"You just like to stare at her ass while she walks by"
Literally no relevance at all in that statement. Not even worth arguing about.
"If you love science you'll study it at University"
Not all people who are fascinated in the natural world (science) have the money to go to a university, or they are too young to go to college, or they study it only as a hobby. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence disproving that point. I, for one, enjoy learning about science (which is why I am here) and I am not currently enrolled in a college/university.
"only physics and some engineering is science"
I assume you say that because lots of other fields of science have aspects that are not fully understood? If you believe that then you should believe that nothing is real, because, to be honest, we don't know everything about anything. There are certain holes in the study of physics which, with our current knowledge, is impossible to understand or model without the currently controversial yet thoroughly researched field of quantam physics. And most engineering is derived mainly in physics and chemistry.
Darticus the Great He claimed he loved science. Loving is a very powerful and strong word. I love science. That's why i study physics. He only likes some cool facts, that's not loving science.
Also, i was just kidding around when i said that only physics and engineering are the only valid sciences. This is youtube, you don't have to be 100% serious all the time. Because this is not an essay that will be graded, nor a dissertation, so i don't think i have to expand much about why i say the things i do.
It's one thing to enjoy getting to know cool facts and it's one thing actually studying science. It's much more than some stupid facts like "The sun is 10^6 times more massive than the earth", or stuff like that. It's about understanding our curiosity, about finding out stuff, realising our limits, etc.
With the analogy "Stare at ass" i meant that it's like you claim to love a girl, but all you really want to do is have sex with her. You wouldn't want to spend several hard years with her.

Looking back on the older videos with great nostalgia! Even better I am aware this is just the beginning! The narrator is so very key, looking back he was such an integral part of the success. The old animation holds up!
Nice little shout-out to Crash Course at 4:35. And a very good video overall. Kudos!

Incredible you reached 17 million just 6 years after. And deservedly so.
can you make a video about quantum mechanics?

1:55 wouldn’t that mean there would be a 18 second delay if I call my grandma
I have an exam in physics tomorrow, I have to admit that learning physics just raises more questions about this world and reality.
3:48 (wrong) Helium has 2 protons 2 electrons and 2 neutrons! that Helium atom in the image is Helium-3 which is a helium isotope.
It's still a kind of stable helium and it keeps it simpler
Learning about orbitals was fascinating to me, since it helped explain how some molecules are structured. However, when I took organic chemistry in college, I decided I didn't want to be an engineer, because I just didn't get all the exception rules for determining what would happen in a chemical reaction. I stopped being interested right about then.

Short announcement at the end of the video. Do you guys have any questions for us?
How long time took this video to do?
Suggstion: As a colorblind - the part where you describe (01:05) - its hard for me to se the neutron :D
I first thought there was a half-moon-proton :)
Maybe a video about color-blindness?
Can you explain fusion reactors and how they work etc
Make a video about the space between the atoms and go deep please

'A single human hair is 500.000 carbon atoms thick'
That sounds… small to me. It may limit our possibility to develop some new technology, considering the transistors in our computers are already consisted of just like tens of atoms.
If I can have a gaming PC the size of a even a book or something that I can put into my bag easily I'll take it
P.S. That's roughly 1 million hydrogen atoms.
Most of them are built on a flat wafer of silicon. Even where we've gone 3d, it's only been for a marginal increase in transistor density. Heat management is, surprisingly, more important for improving the performance of CPUs than anything else right now, because if we could just stop needing to use a giant clunky heatsink on top of the processor (using carbon, say, or something else with a wider bandgap that could operate at higher temperatures, or even a gradient of materials from hot to cold), we could build upwards and take advantage of another geometric increase in power. Don't worry about Moore's law just yet.
Maybe just make em bigger
Hi Kurzgesagt! I have a question on 1:26. It says that the force that keeps protons and neutrons together is called the “strong interaction”, but I thought it was called the nuclear force. Which one is correct?
Different names for same thing.
@@gulgaffel Thank you!
And this visual image really gives us an intuitive idea of how small an atom is. Kurzgesagt's explanation using visual images always seems fun and effective. I enjoyed it this time, too.

There is a mistake at 3:55. Atoms of the same element are not necessarily all the same, because some can be isotopes or ions.
You're right about isotopes, but I don't think ions count as atoms
What about atoms?
Kurzgesagt : well this is what we know, but like we don't really know anything so let's wait for the scientists!
(I seriously love Kurzgesagt!)
You said all Hydrogen Atoms are the same, but they aren't are they? i mean Hydrogen has 3 Isotopes i think.
Stable Isotopes :)
BlopsRusher Tritium isn't stable.
Anyways, one isotope compared to the same isotope is the same.
+BlopsRusher He meant specifically the most common hydrogen isotope. Or just the same in chemical nature for all isotopes.
The problem with observing atoms is scale (bit of an obvious statement). Due to the relative differences in size our measurement devices aren't capable of recording a single state as perceived at the atomic level and rather a blur across multiple states due to time dilation. If a conscious being incomprehensibly larger than the lengths we can perceive in the night sky were to try and zoom in on our solar system looking for us he'd only see a blur across what we'd consider an extremely long period of time.
In an attempt to get a snapshot of Earth at the scale of a being comparable of us to an atom the result would be what we consider a lengthy period of time all mashed together. You wouldn't see the continents as we see them, you'd see a blur of the planets entire lifetime. From a dead cold rock to the forming of life as landmasses move and an eventual decay back to a lifeless rock. Evolution leads in the direction of artificial intelligence so with a bit of luck the planet itself will develop as it's own conscious entity as a neural network of symbiotic computers and machines.
The atoms at the level below us flicker in and out of existence so rapidly yet our sun and stars in the night sky linger for what we consider millions, billions or even trillions of years. To interact with lifeforms at such different scales one would have to shrink themselves down or more realistically achieve digital transcendence to a state of 'no longer human'. Scaling up is unlikely due to resource requirements.
Even if one were to transcend to a state of digital existence and roam the universe harvesting planets and rearranging the stars it's unlikely a being 1 level up would even notice. Best case scenario a digital entity could rearrange the matter of our universe and form itself into what a larger being would consider microbiology or a small insect but the limitations of energy requirements and space expansion would limit growth potential and the time required should these limitations be overcome is incomprehensible at a human level.
Would be a shame to undergo such an extensive task only to be squashed by a larger being occupied with it's own existence. Makes one value the level of complexity life on Earth has evolved to despite how large or small it may be. It's all relative. What we're experiencing could already be a state of simulated digital existence throughout an endless singularity loop.
The more one learns, the more one questions. Hope this sparks curiosity for a few innovative minds!
That was a impressive take on things
I read your comment again! Your observation on things was better then the video!
“99.999999999999% of an atoms volume”

Uh... Not all atoms of an element are the same. Hello? Isotopes?
+Koke Pasu I don't think that's what he meant, just fundamentally identical.
+Diamondmyna Not even fundamentally identical, but I suppose for the sake of brevity, they had to make do.
+Koke Pasu I have to agree with this. This video even used Hydrogen as an example, but normal hydrogen (1 proton), deuterium (1 neutron, 1 proton) and tritium (2 neutrons, 1 proton) are all a bit different in their properties. Not to even mention Carbon-12 compared to Carbon-14, where C-12 is normal Carbon and C-14 is radioactive and can be used to measure a dead organism's age.
+Atthe I suppose if you're being pedantic, you could say that every C-14 atom is identical, Every C-12 atom, every Hydrogen, every Deuterium etc etc are identical. It is only a five minute video after all...
That is what I was thinking
Not all atoms of the same element are the same. There are different isotopes, I think the video should have noted that...
+zeNUKEify Elementary dear Watson
Your breakdowns are so simple to understand and easy to follow. Thank you.
"The Hydrogen atom in your body is the same hydrogen atom found in the sun"... It is just like, "you are a divine soul, a derivative (descendants) of the divine itself!everything is within you. "
As they say in Sanskrit "amritasya putra".
We are made up of "star dust"

@@अभिषेककुमार-म5ढ this is literally true
+ we are stars 🤩😂
3:56 all hydrogen atoms are the same? that's just not true. we have isotopes of hydrogen with neutrons.
Exactly what I was thinking. Literally part of the process of nuclear fusion in the Sun.
He is saying all normal hydrogen is the same as all other normal hydrogen. All Deuterium is the same as all other deuterium. etc. Hydrogen is precisely 1 proton, 1 electron. Then you have Hydrogen ions, deuterium etc but its not his point. His point is there isn't anything magical beyond the protons, electrons and neutrons for defining atoms.
@Binka Bones Isotopes not ions, but same difference.
Excuse me, but isotopes are an atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons
An element is determined by the number of protons the atom has indicated by its atomic number. Since atoms are neutral in charge, every proton, with a positive charge, will have an electron, with a negative charge, so that the atom is neutral in charge. However, neutrons don't have any charge and so there can be any number of neutrons in any element and an isotope number is indicated by the amount of neutrons. Not all atoms of an element are completely the same but they are the same element; exact same number of protons and electrons and not necessarily neutrons.
So orbitals are:
"Clouds" of probability where electrons might be orbiting, with a certainty of 95% that progressively declines to 0 the further the electron is from the atomic core. But it doesn't actually reach 0, which essentially means the electron of an atom can be on the other side of the universe."
Is this correct?
Yes. While the chance of such an occurrence is vanishingly small, it is correct. Not only that, the entanglement two quantum particles by spin or such when they are entangled with each other, later results in "spooky" behavior. When one particle's spin, or other orientation is observed, the opposite will be true for the other. This occurs even if the particles are separated by the longest distance possible in the universe.
And the sad truth, even using this method, we can not send information faster than C. :(
all of this are all mathematical predictions, they can't actually see what atoms looks like. Because if they can, they can make gold out of dust.
elbasu libra Yes, that is the current understanding, of course theoretically. Also if two electrodes (+ & -) are placed into a 3-D conductor, the lines of electrical flux that electrons flow along become ever-more curving, out to infinity.
elbasu libra Yes that is the exact wording used in the video, correct.
3:34 could lead to life as a simulation concept if we compare atom elements to something like a pixel in monitor
