it's confinement, not containment.
🤦🏻♂️Oops. Conceptually I understand why it wasn’t noticed. But that’s annoying.
@@ButWhySci nuclear containment (vessel) is more common than nucleon confinement. Neural net picks highest weight.
As a young researcher I gave a talk to ten ppl, and the Nobel laureate in the front, “ nice talk, but it’s nuclear , not nuke u lar “. This was before face palm emojis.
@@DrDeuteronLmao
Yes this is what happens when uneducated youtubers post rubbish on TH-cam.
What exactly are the mechanisms holding atoms together and why does bringing them together create energy? = This statement shows me you have no understanding of fusion.
@@ossiedunstan4419 for me, atoms and nuclei are completely different things.
Visualizing waves the way you showed us in the vid is super useful and will definitely try to visualize it this way for my students. I'm just a lowly Highschool teacher but I love to watch vids like this that go way beyond my expertise. Thank you!
"You're the real heroes," as a wise man (I think) said ;-)
You do important work!
Teachers are under appreciated. They go through so much shit from some students and still teach us so we can have a successful life
Don’t feel lowly, whether you are 6 years old or an adult highschool teacher, you can understand anything if you put in the time. You can learn anything. 😁
Great teachers who cared, and made things interesting, inspired me and I still think of them fondly to this day. I’m 42. Thanks Mr. Rasmussen, Mrs. Layton, Mr. Ralph, and mr. Gnandt!
Damn, no matter how many videos I've seen previously on nuclear fusion, this video felt so new! I wish more content like this floods my feed!
As someone with a masters in teaching, this guy is one of the best educators I’ve seen.
yeah, it feels like everyone else is afraid to show more "boring and unimportant" details, but this channel manages to show these details in a fascinating way!
Man this video brought back 2 years of college physics instantly, feels so refreshing. No matter the view count, this free content will forever be underappreciated.
holy shit, this is the first time i've actually understood what quantum tunnelling is, actually having a visualization of the waves is GENIUS. this channel is amazing
ok, ok...we hear ya.
There's so many speakers and mathematicians, but to be able to show, pretty darn intuitively, the proposed interactions is so amazing! 👏 ❤ Thank you!
Ok, I never understood how quantum tunneling worked until your explanation.
Your visualization is top-notch.
The chance that hydrogen will quantum tunnel is 1 in 10^28 that like winning powerball 3 times in a row. Since the sun has more than 10^57 hydrogen atoms, quantum tunneling is very probably. On earth when we do fusion, we are talking in the order of 10^23 atoms
The way you explain things is just incredibly effective. You really developed a remarkable ability, and we all need more of you and your work. I've been a subscriber for years now, and you deserve so much more visibility. Thanks!
Couldn't agree more as a person who just only scratched the surface by stumbling upon it just know. Loved the visualisations and explainations. Filled some understanding-gaps for me.
Please keep making these videos. You have no idea what impact you have on generations of us watching this and passing the knowledge and the video along to our kids.
true words were never spoken before
I just want to say, you put out absolutely amazing videos. It's only a matter of time until you are ranked amongst the foremost of scientific communicators on TH-cam.
1000%
Very well made video!
I feel like I'm finally starting to understand the Strong Force & Strong Nuclear Force.
The fact that the mediating particles have a limited lifespan being the reason that the Force is so short range, is something that I hadn't realised before, but now it makes a lot of sense!
I guess that's also why eventually (after Iron), the binding energy drops again, because the size of the nucleus becomes larger than the interaction length of the Strong Nuclear Force.
I'm happy to have found a well made educational TH-cam channel that I can't watch while doing something else, a channel that really challenges me to keep up and honestly gets me to smile like I made some sort of discovery understanding the underlying mechanisms of our universe, and inspires me to find such visualisations when teaching my students. you my man are the GOAT, keep up the great work and the awesome animation style!
the most detailed, clear, well animated, in depth, video on fusion i have ever watched and somehow all the information has been fitted into 13 minutes!
this is the most intuitive explanation I've seen. Love how the gluons (literal springs) break off to form pions
This is most detailed explanation I've ever seen, regarding a concept of quantum mechanics/nuclear physics. I have never seen a video that is not afraid to explain the actual physics, instead of explaining everything with handwavy analogies. Sure, I am confident that this is still really dumbed down version of the actual explanation, but it doesn't leave anything to be desired. It offers just enough information to satisfy all of the curiosity, without scaring you away with scary concepts rooted in really complicated mathematics. Wonderful job! Wonderful animations!
its crazy how you can make such in depth videos on quantum mechanics, while keeping it so engaging and easy to understand
I know have I said this plenty of times before, but I continue to marvel at your ability to present me a topic I thought I understand reasonably well and then make me feel like I had no idea about anything. You explain it so well too. I am thankful for every one of your videos. I am hoping for your subscriber count to eventually reach a suitable number. Like 1-2 million would be nice.
This is the best explanation of fusion I've ever seen, and I've seen a few lectures about it over the years.
I consider myself a veteran of the TH-cam science and physics content audience. I'm not an expert in any of this, I did complete a BSc fifteen years ago, and I didn't study physics but I've always maintained my fascination with it all.
Your channel is just the perfect level of explanation for me, and you do such a great job of painting a picture of what is going on.
Do you have a patreon or a donation link? Seriously, I'd swing you a few dollars a month for your content. I've watched nearly every one of your videos and your series on stellar core collapse I've watched 5 or 6 times.
no matter the subject, you always show something new and exciting!
love it!
Really wasn't expecting an explanation this good when I clicked.
Literally filled in every hole of knowledge I had about this IN ONLY 13 MINUTES
Thank you for going into more depth than the typical scientific content provider. Subscribing now!
The fusion power plant in SimCity 2000 gave me the impression that fusion power was the future and inevitable.
I think you get it in 2050, we might be faster
He has explained it perfectly!!!
Dude that is sooo gooood
Make more of such videos
Love your videos, the visuals are always clear and the topic is never dumbed down no matter how complex. Wish there were more STEM youtube channels like this one.
You need to keep making videos. Your videos I literally watch every single one.
Woahhh lets goooo another 'But Why?' videoooo!!
I never knew fusion could be even more fascinating
i dont really speak english properly, and i usually dont understand most of what i listen in english, but your tone, words or speed, i dont know. Make me easy to understand you without problems, even without substitles.
This is the best description of quantum phenomena i think I've seen thusfar. It makes it soo much easier to visualize and it's clear to understand. Well done!
These visuals are craaaazy. What a great video. Earned a new sub
That was magnificently well illustrated. For a visual person like me, I can see the equations in the animations even if abstractly, I don't really understand them on a purely mathematical basis. Using 3 dimensions in them is very helpful to breed an intuitive insight however, reality on this level is 4 dimensional so even though we're only considering ~2% of c, there is still a small effect of time and length(distance) relativistic effects. How to illustrate that specifically, I think you did without explicitly saying it but through implication that the probabilities are so unreasonably small yet with so many particles and such density, those effects emerge and have an on our human scale a significant impact. Like you know, existing at all.
This so much new information, none of which covered in other science channels. I always wanted to know the deeper mechanisms of the particle interactions. I am so great full you made this video
Whoever you are, you are very good at what you do.
What a phenomenal video that simply explained something I had never understood! How do you make such beautiful and useful graphics?
i never comment but this video single handedly helped me understand questions my teachers couldn't answer
i was NOT expecting it to go as deep as quantum mechanics, i have been pleasantly surprised :3
My brain's too old for this. I'll just take your word for this.
Clicked for the thumbnail stayed for the video
It's my first time watching or trying to deal with how the strong force works, and it's pretty wild. I am surprised that it works like this, and I want to know how we researched all of this and how we know with high certainty that these are the mechanisms.
its incredible that this even exists and that we figured this out
Once again, astounding video!
100% the best explanation out there
I'm going to need to replay this 100 times and read as many articles to understand what I just saw. Well here goes...
same
Absolutely fantastic video!
i love this video. perhaps another title would give it more attention, cuz many people just think of fusion of a deuterium and a tritium nucleus to form a helium nucleus with the release of a neutron.
But this is way more interesting. Your videos are incredible
YESS! Love these videos never stop dude!
Probably the best video out there. Thank you
I wish I could help you make more videos of such quality. This is so good.
Awesome video...please, keep up the amazing work 🤩
I love your videos so much. The animations coupled with clear explanations are so satisfying, and your music is so beautiful. May I ask you the name or reference of the music ?
He usually makes his own music
Thank you the visuals really help with the explanation.
Thanks a lot . I am in 11th grade and i love your videos. This was the best explanation about strong nuclear force and strong force and yes fusion too. Your videos always generate more questions to me and also answers my previous ones.
Shame the algorithm didn’t pick this video up :( love the hard work
It makes me feel better knowing my revision for my physics exams is going well because I can understand what’s going on in this video
Awesome video! Thank you!
Wow this video was amazing. Please do more of this. This is next level content
You are my _FAV!_ Thank you for your content. :)
We need this in schools and universities
I have watched this about 6 times as it explains sosny different things
You are the best BEST teacher !
something:(*doesn't add up*)
quantum mechanics:nuh uh, you work👍
I tried to find how two protons are combined together. However, I could not find the the good explanation about it. Finally, I understand that pion is reason of that force from this video 😮😮 Nice lecture.
Once again amazing work, Sir.
great video, but honestly, the information density was a little too high for my brain 🤯
Best video I've watched so far...
Imagine humans could live in peace- we could dedicate all the defense funding, military budgets, war budgets, etc, toward researching a realistic way to harness fusion power. If it ever became possible it would be near infinite energy with basically no waste (not like fission). Unfortunately I don’t think humans will ever stop fighting each other 😢
Agreed, humans are too emotional
ngl i thought of the thumbnail something else
I've known the basics of this but this is so clear. Remember in the 1953 version of War of the Worlds? The green "skeleton ray" emitted from the wingtips of the fighting machine neutralized mesons somehow. Whatever it hits simply ceased to exist. Anyway, this what Dr. Forrester said.
I love waking up to this at 2 am
great video! nice animations! thanks for this! 👍
best science channel on youtube
I love the music with the visuals.
best education channel
Great channel! Very informative
Great video!
SUPERB EXPLANATION
This was amazing. thank you so much
Thank you so much for your work
Thanks for watching.
You are very good at what you do. Also I really like your silly animations ❤🎉
such a great channel
Best Channel
Great video
The king returns 👑
amazing video
WOW, this is a good video!
Great thing I was awake to see a post notification lol
this is the 3 blue 1 brown of physics, thank the gods!!
Amazing!
Awesome 🎉
I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to your 15-year-old self for creating this channel. 🙂
Oh man, oh man, oh man... I'm gonna study Nuclear Physics for my undergrad this fall. And I expect to do the same for the rest of my life.
Dunno why, Mr. But Why, this video is kindling a fire inside me.
The level of explanation is just hats off and also the graphics 🥹🙏🙏❤
you should release the summary at the end as a short so you can get more views
I love your channel
AMAZING VIDEO ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Super Amezing 🎉🎉
I love this channel, more Maths plz
