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.
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.
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 ;-)
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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!
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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 😢
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
I actually find that assigned triadic colors to three quarks is very helpful and engaging, especially for those of us learners who are easily distracted. And their collective charge combines to make white? Very fascinating, even though I know they are abstract terms to help novices understand with ease.
so seamless to see the blue-yellow pair, then the red-cyan pair as balanced pion messons, so seeing which colors are paired adds a visual element to understand whether a baryon/mession is balanced or not, truly helps!
I also wanna draw attention to the fact that small scale fission energy only feels impossible because research and development has been incredibly stifled. Despite showing some promise. One quote from someone struggling against this said something like, "I shouldn't need millions of dollars of funding to specifically test the small scale magnitude resistance of my reactor that works on the nanoscale and sits in the back of my pickup truck". And small scale fission is important because anti-nuclear green energy likes to point out that nuclear isn't a viable means of production for more rural or underdeveloped regions, and therefore not worth it as a solution to the climate/energy crisis.
One view is that a shell with radius 3 would have surface area of interaction equality to the volume of a sphere with radius 3, as also cones and hemisphere and the circle in this energy transfer sequence. However, when two spheres unite, the surface area of the second sphere is less; the excess is released at 'c' from each atom.
4:18 Suggestion: it probably would have been good to explicitly mention that the up and down quarks (and quarks in general) have electric charge too. That way way it would be much more obvious why swapping quark types could change the charge of the nucleon for those who didn't already know. Or why pions can themselves also have charge.
The problem with fusion as an energy source without gravity providing the needed force to produce it, is it will always cost you more energy to produce than what it spits out. This was illustrated by the Farnsworth fusor, which any high school science student can build in their garage to produce fusion energy. The only problem is that it takes more energy to produce that fusion reaction than what it produces. Stability is only half the battle. The other half is getting that stable reaction in a way that provides excess energy that can then somehow be used to do work or power a load.
it's confinement, not containment.

Ok, I never understood how quantum tunneling worked until your explanation.
Your visualization is top-notch.

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

We should not pin all our hopes on fusion when we have fission that can do the job far more easily.

Logically another approach would be to try to achieve the same spurt dense plasmas stars have, which, I assume, is either impossible or impractical.
