I think you're incorrect about the claim you make around 14:55 that a hexagonal unit rotates as it tiles to fill space. Hexagonal unit cells fill all space purely by translation, just as every other unit cell does. This translation creates the "honeycomb" symmetry on its own, without needing any sort of rotation. This is easier to see if you're looking at the atoms that are actually in the unit cell, rather than Minecraft glass blocks that have been squished and stretched. Great video though, I really enjoy your geology content!
@@ahorseirl7006 Thanks, I understand what you mean. After getting most oft he way into making this episode I realized that I should have split them into two and given the crystals more attention.
was gonna post this comment, you already posted it. was gonna post this reply, but others also already posted it. oh well. 👍i suppose we were all thinking it
I actually did look into that. the whole "nm" process for chips doesn't actually equate to size, its more of a generation number. I did find some actual number for scale but then the physical shape wasn't clear so I ended up not doing it. If i do an actual episode on scale I'll add it.
@@n45a_To be fair, even in older pdks the process length only really indicated the minimum width of the transistor. The length is basically required to be 3x that size, and you are able to increase the width as well. The length naming is basically an anachronism from a time where the challenges in the field were much more relevant to just plain size reduction.
Whatever the current size is, I bet it looks bubbly because it’s almost in the atomic scale. If you were the size of the M4 Apple Chip transistor, you can play with atoms like tennis balls.
The animations you make with the blocks and items in your video is so cool and I don't think I've seen anybody else use display entities or whatever you use like this. Keep it up!
@@allengrove1864 he uses display entities, he made a whole video about how he does the rescaling and moving block stuff, theres even a world download you can check out
8:50 once again, anything mentioning geologists in the field *literally* cant avoid mentioning you geologists do actually eat rocks :P . this is how i know you are truly legit
Wow. I came into the video expecting a regular explanation of rock, but instead got one of the most interesting size visualizations I’ve ever seen. (In addition to a very good explanation of minerals and crystals!) Well done! In fact, so well done that I almost wonder if you should update the title or thumbnail to sell the amazing video a bit better :P
Thank, the scale thing started out as a way to just make the atomic size interesting and I just wanted to pull a few other topics together. Then it sort of became most of the episode. Maybe I’ll do a video just on scale sometime but include the large scales too.
Dude, these videos are just spectacular. You put so much effort into them and I love watching them. I can NOT wait until you start getting millions upon millions of views on every new video
5:56 CRT displays don't really have "pixels" in the traditional sense, so saying that the resolution is 640x480 would be inaccurate. The image is formed by having a continuously scanning beam scroll horizontally across the screen, and divided into 525 rows or "scanlines". Seeing as the lines scanned are continuous, they do not have a horizontal resolution (not to say they can have infinite detail, the beam is only so fine, and the beams can only react to a changing signal amplitude so fast, we call this limited horizontal """resolution""" the dot pitch). Not all of these lines would contain picture information, and even fewer of them were intended to be seen due to overscan. This is because not all TVs were configured all too precisely, meaning the image might be a bit larger, smaller, higher, or lower, and people didn't like the idea of potentially having black bars near the edges of the screen. The number 480 for vertical resolution came about because it was a good estimate of how many lines were visible by most displays. We call this "Standard Definition". The horizontal resolution of 640 likely came about because of video digitisation. People like the pixels of digital video files to be perfectly square (although they don't necessarily have to be) so that the image doesn't need to be asymmetrically scaled in order to be seen correctly. Since standard definition was given a vertical resolution of 480, and TVs were made to be an aspect ratio of 4:3, it's easy to derive a horizontal resolution: 480*(4/3)=640. What you see when you look at a colour CRT may look like pixels, as there are red, green, and blue stripes (or dots) in a regular pattern, but this would be incorrect. These are a result of a metal sheet with holes in it called the shadowmask, which is responsible for blocking the three electron beams from certain angles so that each one hits the correctly coloured phosphors. It does not directly translate to image quality.
This is what I love about science discussions. When different people, each with their own hyper-specific knowledge, come together to analyze the whole truth of something. Everyone is correcting each other, but nobody is mad. Everyone learns something, and the whole group becomes smarter for it.

oh my godd hello????!?!?!? those animations and models are crazy what?? this mustve taken so long to program. i love how understadable the explanations are while at the same time still going deep into it or at least show you how deep it can go. feels like part of a curriculum its so good. that was a whole journey if your goal was to make people excited about geology youve succeeded really really well like holy shit rocks rock!! cant wait to see the next installment!!
I recently discovered your channel because I wanted to learn more about color spaces (OKLAB specifically) and I really think you're filling a nieche that nobody has touched before. Making science videos with minecraft animations is something I've never seen before and you're explaining everything so well
As a chemist, seeing such a clear and concise visualisation of scale and crystal structures was absolutely amazing - I'll definitely be sharing this video around

"At least we don't have to haul all these minerals around ourselves." "I was made for mining! Molly was meant for hauling what I mine!" "I'm glad we have someone to carry our rocks and stones!" "If we discover a new mineral, you think we get to name it?"

Amazing video! The scaling room is superb. I've seen things like that on different websites before, but seeing it in Minecraft is really something else.
I find it funny that I see this video, because I recently started playing terrafirmacraft (minecraft mod) which, has geology. It has teached me what is: Igenous extrusive/intrusive, metamorphic, sedimentary. Both igenous are kinda connected. For example below extrusive is usually intrusive
We have Minecraft EDU but it does not come CLOSE to how educational and well made these videos are, I am just impressed with the shear amount of work being done to make these videos.
This video is super neat! All your videos are fascinating to watch, but the shrinking in this one is just awesome! One of my favourite educators ever :)
It’s amazing how well Minecraft can be used for teaching, it’s really visual and your demonstrations are great. It’s no wonder some European schools use Minecraft for teaching certain subjects.
Oh man, I was enjoying this video and all of a sudden I was attacked by unit cells and inorganic chemistry flashbacks! Another amazing video Gneiss, your ability to utilise Minecraft for visualisations never ceases to amaze me.
i don’t really play minecraft anymore, and i’m not really interested in geology, but somehow all your videos change that and i enjoy every one! (sorry for bad wording, i just wanted to express how encapsulating your videos are, yet cannot find the words ❤) oh also i love how much effort you put in !
I have never learned about geology in-depth, I really really love the oceans, and took an Oceanography class this high school year. I think I would be really confused and a little disappointed (I'm more of a marine biology type of person), but your videos have really helped with my understanding of geology, and has helped me really enjoy the class. Your videos are really good, I hope you keep it up.
I literally just ended up finding this channel because of Dwarf Fortress, have no idea about Geology and Generally was just wondering "Why is Metal X better at being a sword than Y, whats a rock and whats a gem, why is this rock better than that rock" and all that now i can finally also explain to people the difference of a mineral and a rock XD
I'm only halfway through and this is already one of the coolest science-related videos I've ever seen. It is positively brilliant to use Minecraft in this way to teach a topic like this. Just genius. I genuinely have no clue how you managed to make the Little Room. I can only guess that it's visual tricks and the cuts are hiding some swaps between alternate rooms but... I dunno, maybe not! So cool! Edit: Okay I got to the end and you said this is a REAL WORLD that we can experience??? This is wild.
Having the comparisons to a bunch of different fields was awesome because I might not understand the initial size reference but I do have a understanding of the parts of the eye so I was able to understand the comparison! Awesome video as always!
we briefly learned about crystal structures in my physical electronics course, which i hated. this video made the topic so interesting though!!! great video :)
the production quality of this video is phenomenal! honestly this video is a great demonstration of the posibilities for in-game visual effects for creating videos and interactive learning
Wow, this one brought me back to feeling like the teacher put on an educational cartoon again! This video had the exact feel as those cartoons where the characters get super small to examine how the world around us works.
I'm a ceramist, and I have a wood firing kiln that fire up to 1300° celsius, I use a lot of feldspar, lime, kaolin,... and oxyde to create glaze that melt correctly. I really enjoy this video. by watching it I want to study a lot more geology cause I feel it could be really useful to find new glaze by a better knowledge of rock formation around my workshop. thanks ! and good job for the editing.
I don't work in geology or anything directly related to it, i don't even collect rocks. I barely play minecraft and certainly would never bother to mod it. Yet, when Gneiss uploads, here i am - every time.
I think about it like this: crystals are made up of minerals and minerals are crystals, like how atoms are made up of elements and elements are atoms. And the difference between rock and crystals is that crystals are pure(or mostly pure) minerals, while rocks are a mesh of a bunch of tiny crystals, like a mixture is a bunch of compounds.
You are the singular most inspiring youtuber. Ever. You put such a massively high degree of effort into every video, and your qualifications only add to your astounding biography. You are what I aspire to be. Keep up the good work.
I am blown away by the amount of effort that goes into these videos. Wow. I’m a biologist who never really found geology interesting until I came across your channel, so thank you for making these and helping me learn more about a field I might not have ever been taught about otherwise.
I love learning about geology and there's just something so cool about the way you explain things. Thank you for the info and well done on the presentation. :)
The quality of these videos always blows me away given they're hobby videos made in Minecraft of all things. But it's honestly a super great engine for it that seems to be able to suit your needs well, and keeps people engaged because who doesn't love Minecraft?

I think with a scale like this you are required by law to show size of a modern transistor.

A whole map dedicated to scale would be really cool. Quarks to Quasars and everything in-between.
Ye thats true. I think recently intel renamed its 10nm to intel 7 to be more in line with TSMC marketing

You are the singular most inspiring youtuber. Ever. You put such a massively high degree of effort into every video, and your qualifications only add to your astounding biography.
You are what I aspire to be. Keep up the good work.
I know that's overused, but this is criminally underrated
I am blown away by the amount of effort that goes into these videos. Wow. I’m a biologist who never really found geology interesting until I came across your channel, so thank you for making these and helping me learn more about a field I might not have ever been taught about otherwise.
I love learning about geology and there's just something so cool about the way you explain things. Thank you for the info and well done on the presentation. :)
The quality of these videos always blows me away given they're hobby videos made in Minecraft of all things. But it's honestly a super great engine for it that seems to be able to suit your needs well, and keeps people engaged because who doesn't love Minecraft?
