Watch the "Director's Commentary" here! • Reviewing my Radiation...
Leave a like, comment, and share if you enjoyed!
I thought it would be fitting to make a science video, seeing as how I have a scientific background as a chemical engineer. Radioactive chemistry was one of my favorite topics back in university, so I hope to spread the love of science, physics, and chemistry with this video!
The word "radiation" often will often cause hair to stand on end ever since Oppenheimer and the end of the Cold War, however without it, life as we know it could not exist! While often associated with nuclear weapons and fallout, radiation is much more than the scary disasters we read about in the news. Simply put, radiation is just the transmission of energy through particles or waves through space or material mediums, meaning all the warmth, light, and colors you experience in this beautiful world are a direct result of radiation!
I hope you enjoy this surface level dive into the topic of radiation, but please, if this topic interests you feel free to peruse a handful of the sources I used below:

When are you really going to upload
lol
nice video as always!
What, with microwaves we're not talking about either boiling your blood in your own body, melting a chocolate bar in your pockets, or resurrecting a rat after its frozen dead?? I'm disappointed...
Bluejay, is the bluejay just your favorite bird or does it has some secret symbolic meaning?
"If you drank a beer with the bartender, you wouldn't die. But if the bartender drank with every person that came to the bar, he will die"
-My relative explaining why the doctor leaves the room when using the x-ray
Oh, I haven't thought of that! Makes sense.
I am wei4dly reminded of that 1000 ways to die episode where the dude gets cooked alive by his doctor banging the nurse on the machines trigger console. I dont know why. Thats just were my mind went after reading your comment.
@@halogeek6 😨
Very good analogy! 💯
@@halogeek6 sauce?
Those are indeed some well drawn blue jays👌
If he hadn't pointed it out, I never could have told it apart from his original pic. She is THAT good of an artist.🎉👍️🫡
First Sam O’Nella returns and now you Bluejay? It’s a halloween miracle
They are being resurrected
Literally stole the words from my fingers, Bravo!
it really is
...the second horseman... Maybe I'm wrong... but if GradeAUnderA shows up, all bets are off
Now we need John Word and my TH-cam life is back to full health!

Cancer being caused by radiation
Radiation: “GET BACK HERE COWARD IM NOT DONE YET.”
One small oversight, objects don't just give off infrared radiation, they give off all types depending on temperature. This is why a hot piece of metal glows red, the frequency of its radiation comes into the visible spectrum.
Yeah, it's just that the hotter the object is, the more black body radiation it gives, and the higher frequency is it's peak. But it gives all frequencies lower than the peak and some range higher than the peak.
Woah didn't know that was the reason, gotta love smatt people explaining stuff 😅
I was worried a second that I might actually learn something today, but visible light was just creating yet another mass casualty event.
Wait. This specific bluejay is not just a picture of a *real* bluejay?!?!? Hot damn. She knocked it out of the park!
It’s SO good to see a BlueJay video again - and this one is stellar. Love the new and improved art!
"stellar" LOL. Get it? Steller's Jay. No?
@@kennichols3992 😂 You and I would get along!
Cass Womack is one hell of an illustrator. Very nice work.
Bro did doctor Mike dirty
Wow, cass's art is great. I actually immediately recognized the style of her art, and felt I have seen it before. Turns out she does the chalk festivals in my area of South-west florida
A new Sam O'Nella and BlueJay within a week of each other? It's like Christmas!
_But it's not even Halloween yet_
Can’t believe you actually made this interesting. You’re a gem
I'm currently still a RadTech student. And this is totally accurate and relatable that a lot of people have a big misconception about radiation. If I try to explain to them about radiation. It would take up a lot of time because it ain't easy to put it in simple terms that they would understand. Good vid btw.
13:56 oh my god
Hey, he’s back
Yeah he is back.
So is salmonella
@@joshuagraham1800 ah yes salmonella my favorite disease
@@DizzyMapping salmonella academy
Blue jay is Sam-o-nella if they uploaded consistently (this is a compliment)
Yeah I've been working with radiation for about 10 years and I'm pleasantly surprised with how thorough this was, even noting that alpha is the most ionizing. Good job, always loved the channel :)
10:10 "No matter how much creatine you eat," as I'm literally taking my creatine pills lmao. I was just like "What? Awwwww" *sad boi noises*
Depression is R6 that hit me like a freight train as a R6 vet 😭 3:26
So glad to see this channel starting to boom. You've more than earned it BlueJay!
6:20 The frequency of jokes causes me to laugh so much that it hurtz!
The best part of today is getting into your content the night before and having you drop this morning jewel at the pool.
1:30 I love how BlueJay was like "My money is going towards you or your causes one way or another"
Loved the outburst from the person off camera when the electron relaxed lol, you have great comedic timing (and good alliteration haha)
A Sam o Nella and a Blue Jay vid? This is a wonderful time for the funny simply drawn informative a video community
He built up a bit terrifying realization about the possible danger of visible light just to make the best ‘Twitter bad’ joke I’ve ever heard
BlueJay and SamO put out a video in the same month!! This year can only get worse. Must live in the now!
Doctor mike just in here lmao
wow, love the new avatar art, and just in general the production quality of this video blew me away. excellent animations as well as great humor.
Seeing a picture of dr mike whole watching a bluejay video was not what I expected to do today
Imagine how scarry that must be for the poor guy. He is already in an apocalyptic scenario. But he finds a reality warping Bluejay that can control monsters in the irradiated wastelands talking to him about the dangers of radiation without any protection.
Every time you say “it is Tim!” It sounds like Patrick Bateman right before killing Paul Allen
Loving the glow up, BlueJay.
Getting +6 rads in fallout 4 is HELLA scary if you got 0 rad resistance perks. You get rads soo fast even at +4. But if +10 was possible? HOLY CRAP that would be deadly without a hazmat suit or power armor
11:15
"That'll be bout two fiddy"
And that was about when i realised that this here mechanic was actually a giant reptile from the paleozoic era!
R6 being depression is just about accurate
“Oh god I’m excited, giuaahhhh” - is perfect for the representation of an electron
8:19 on the right, thats the doctor who reacts to medicine in tv shows
The banana radiation outbreak could totally be a netflix horror flick
Wonderful, informative and just a touch silly - a perfect video in other words
As an radiologic technologist, you did a very very good job.
I mention these things to my patients concerned about radiation.
1.) The average person gets most of their radiation not from medical imaging but from radon gas seeping through cracks in their basement foundation. On top of this there is background radiation that is just ALWAYS there and I would say there is nothing you could do about THAT, but that's not really true.
2. When ionizing radiation interacts with atoms in the body the worst thing that can happen, as you discussed, is the damaging of body tissues/ DNA which can cause cancer.
BUuuut, what happens way way more often is, the radiation splits one of the many water molecules in your body creating free radicals. Unhindered and unopposed the free radical can then go and chemically damage your body which can result in,... ding ding ding, cancer.
3. There is a chemical solution to this, you may have heard of it before, the enemy of free radicals is ANTIOXIDANTS. So eat lots of berries and fruits and fresh foods with lots of antioxidants, you really can't go overboard. If you have someone living in your basement get it tested for radon gas, that stuff kills thousands of people every year, it's very serious and it's hilarious to xray techs that your everyday Karen is asking for a thyroid shield for her foot xray while ignoring this along with the importance of having a healthy diet.
And something I never mention that I wish I could.
The younger a human being is, the more sensitive to radiation they are. So maybe, if you're PREGO, wait a few days with that aching wrist before you go get an xray.. because you know, you want that kid to have all their body parts, RIGHT? RIGHT?
Another thing, if you have say, a 3 year old that fell and scraped their knee, please do consider the fact that when you get them xrayed you are rolling the dice on them and the xray will only help them if the report comes back positive. Chances are small sure, but they are 10x worse chances than your adult ass. So yeah, try not to give your little one leukemia over the fact that you keep bringing them into urgent care 8 times a year for every bump and bruise. Just be mindful of this, use sound judgement. We can't tell you this stuff because management assumes everyone is as dumb as they are and cannot make a sound decision to save their own life.
Old people thus, are not very sensitive to radiation. So if in a post apocalyptic world utilize that to your liking.. Hire Sylvester to remove the top layer of soil from your garden, ask Gertrude if she can scavenge supplies for you. Be nice, save a can of mandarin oranges for them.
Antioxidants are a bit problematic, in that most things advertised as giving antioxidants aren't actually processed in the body how you would expect, and give little, if any actual antioxidant property. However, certain targeted groups of antioxidants (often the ones not advertised on snazzy food claiming to have health benefits) have been shown to have a positive effect. So really, I'd recommend doing homework on which sets of antioxidants have the strongest correlation with cancer reduction before adding a couple glasses of juice to your day, or whatever you end up finding appropriate. I won't claim to have the exact answer, as I'm far from an expert and the field is actively developing still.
Oversimplified, IH, the return of the King, Sam O'Nella, and new Bluejay? Best October ever.
8:14 Doctor Mike crossover that no one expected
7:30 Because you used the letter S, it's not alliteration but actually assonance! Fun fact, I guess?
I thought assonance was the repetition of a vowel sound while alliteration is the repetition of the same letter or sound at the beginning of a word?
@@BlueJayYT Could be both, but in English (Scottish education system) we were taught it was specifically S-based alliteration.
Could be a local thing maybe?
Idk, I've never heard that, the definition I provided was the English definition (UK)
I want to complain that while our vault dweller friend is pulling +6 rads, his rad bar never goes up
This channel is a strange child made from Sam O'nella and CGP grey and I love it!
5:57 Instant sub! 👌🏼🤘🏼
We did it boys. We found the first wholesome payment through exposure.
Doctor mike and blue jay? The crossover i never knew i needed
yooo doctor mike, tbh seeing you include him just makes your channel even better
Coouli-coo! Yap Yap! Blue Jay is back!
"Some random nerd" *proceeds to show a picture of Dr. Mike*
God damn. Both bluejay and Sam o nella return and give us these beautiful gems of videos .
BlueJay this feels like a science project
the ''get em boys'' really got me
It’s nice how he breaks through to his actual nice side to shout out cass
5:55 Me sitting on the toilet, enjoying the pinnacle of leisure
I am stuck in a loop, each video reverts back to the other, I have been here for 3 days, someone help me
I've seen this a million times and can't get enough of it
5:55 add an untoasted toaster for maximum leisure
"she wouldn't let me pay, so give her exposure" is the only form of paying with exposure that's ok
I have replayed the “Jesus Christ” scream over and over and I am over here laughing so hard I’m crying.
I have been stuck in a loop of watching bluejay’s radiation videos for over an year. I haven’t seen the outside world in so long, Im running out of food, and everywhere I look I see that cursed feathery face in the corner of my eyes. Please send help I don’t know how much longer I can-
When I saw Dr. Mike at 8:15
*A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.*
DO THIS FOR CHEMICALS, you are doing humanity a service.
This whole time I thought the blue jay was a regular picture that someone photoshopped a pipe and hat on 😂
I just started radiation for my GCSEs lol. Good timing bluejay!
The photon Jesus Christ just made me laugh harder than I have in a very long time.
“I hope someone didn’t forget to pack there radaway.”
Man I didn't know my favorite baseball team made such good videos.
especially with the new style of skits like the atoms in the geiger counter skit. It really does show how much you've improved
This video got many things correct
Here are two important things to remember however:
-There is no safe level of ionizing radiation exposure, but you have to absorb around 500 msv to notice any effect
-The above being said, there is no single dose that is considered "lethal". 1-2 Sieverts of exposure can develop into Acute Radiation Sickness, but there have been people who have survived up to 4 Sieverts.
As a general rule, you are FAR more likely to survive 1-2 Sieverts absorbed ACUTELY, while that much absorbed over a year or so has an extremely high chance of developing cancer in humans
I don't believe I said ionizing radiation wasn't all around you, in fact I thought I made that clear!
@@BlueJayYT Apologies, I had misunderstood you
Learning about radiation NOW, great timing birdie!
This video is so good, they even got the humors
this is better than my physics revision
Thank you Cass!
My favorite sarcastic/educational TH-camr!
Love your content. You give off sam o'nella and cgpgrey vibes. With a hint of Casually Explained
I have to admit, I dint notice the change at first.
that's some really good hyper realism
Every video is more fire than the previous one
This is perfect timing, I literally learned about radiation 2 weeks ago in my inorganic chemistry class. This is a very accurate video, the only thing I would say is that most radiation isn’t actually that scary, that includes all non ionizing radiation (which is literally harmless and alpha radiation (which is only dangerous if you directly consume it or let the emitting substance sit near your eyes, as this radiation only travels a couple centimeters.) Low level ionizing radiation (which honesty isn’t that bad, but still can cause damage) is a little more dangerous, but not too bad. Beta is a bit more that that, being able to cause some damage, but it is relatively easy to block, and doesn’t travel to far from its source, only a couple feet. The only radiation that is truely scary is gamma, it has infinite range, and goes through a large amount of substance before stopping (about 23 feet of water, which is a good radiation shield) and it can cause things like cancer and it will kill your cells (specifically your quickly growing cells like hair and stomach mucus.) But honestly even this radiation isn’t that terrifying, at least in small amounts. We experience a very large amount of radiation a year, but it doesn’t do much to us, and you have a large amount of room to have increased yearly radiation before you have to worry about side effects (other than a slightly increased chance of cancer with ever increase in radiation, no matter how small). I’m still scared of things like nuclear fuel rods, as those will cause irreversible damage and will kill you in 30 seconds. (Sorry for the essay, but I’m studying to be a chemical engineer and eventually a nuclear energy tech/researcher, so this stuff interests me.)
My best friend passed away today. We were friends since we were 3 now 23 and a couple days before his birthday. This video is just what I needed man thank you ❤
i’m giving you a small reassuring pat on the back i know how you feel i met mine when we were 3 and she died when we were 18 i’m here for you !
@@moviestargf thank you and may they’re soul be blessed by god. I appreciate you. The world needs more people like you
THIS SHOULD BE A HIGHSCHOOL SCIENCE CLASS CLASSIC
Clearly the finest Sam’onella spawned channel
Wow, since I am indeed sitting atop my ceramic throne whilst watching this, I name thee a WITCH Blue Jay!
I love that you put siege as depression, cause it is
It’s kind of weird having both Jay and Sam around now, but hey, I’ll take it!
I think natural radiation (as in granite) would have been a very interesting part to tell.
When that “some random doctor” is also a TH-camr with 10 mil subs 😂
“Neutron hammer”, “gamma glue”
I Have watched finally all three blue jay, sam o’nella and oversimplified
the sun: haha lmao "avoid"
Lol some random doctor, it was Mike
The good news about gammas is that the fact that your body doesn't stop many of them means that most of the gammas pass harmlessly through you. The bad news is that "most" isn't "all."
Ahh nothing like a BlueJay video 😁👽
I love how the two videos can endlessly loop back on one another. As soon as Tim learns one, he can forget the other, keeping the cycle going. Hope he’s comfy.
I am curious, horrified and aroused.Well done, Bird.
