    We take lots of things for granted in this world; GPS, the internet and of course particle accelerators (well, maybe not particle accelerators!). However, none of these things would be possible without atomic clocks.
    In this video Dom explains how they work with some fascinating factoids to boot!

    The best explanation I've found so far. Also very accurate, most other sources are not. They say they "9,192,631,770 vibrations of Caesium atoms" which is incorrect and very confusing. It is "9,192,631,770 oscillations of the radiation that excites caesium atoms". Thanks for this!

      Thanks. I use a NTG4+ and place it as close as possible, a mixture of above and below frame. I'm not sure why my audio still doesn't sound great. My house has a lot of hard surfaces though which is the only thing I can think of.

      Thanks FeRo00o71! That is a huge compliment, I'm a big fan of Vsauce. Its tough starting out as a new channel and I don't do much promotion at the moment, need to do more for sure. Every subscriber helps though so please share with your friends! Thanks for the support! Dom

    I have an exam on atomic and molecular physics coming on and today I was reading the notes of the professor. But when I saw that next topic was on atomic clocks I just thought: let me TH-cam that to gain some motivation.
    You gave me the motivation to continue reading and not to be lazy, thanks!

  • @JanosZakarias
    @JanosZakarias 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Excellent video! But something's not clear: how do the convert the oscillation of the quartz crystal (32,768Hz) to the frequency of the cesium atom's resonance frequency (9,192,631,770Hz) in the radio wave transmitter? At 4:02 you say the transmitter will transmit at 32kHz, but to 'excite' the cesium atoms the frequency needs to be it's resonance frequency (what you show at 4:33). Is there a missing step?

    Hi, can you tell me where you got that wool pullover? I've been searching for just such a thing. Also the video was excellent, especially in that it sparked my interest and I had to get a deeper understanding, as you can't cover all detail in a 5 minute video. I'm here from Steve Mould's video on Quartz Clocks. You deserve more subs.
