Seeing Electrons with the Naked Eye!

Thunderf00t - 2017-11-12

This was an amazing video to make!  Electrons just falling out of wires and sitting there in solution.  Liquid metal that grows by itself! all thanks to the addition of a little liquid ammonia to some sodium and potassium!

How to make gold from metal.

Gold is a metal.

There.

I had a goose that would lay golden eggs...but them fucken beans I just had ta have my goosees ram up the Giants bean stalk... The cow landed on the moon... Shit is blue cheese and it taste like snozberries.... or maybe dingleberries...lets try to split an Eve instead of an atom....just a thought....stupid ass thoughts...

@Eu Mesm
I'm pretty sure that gold mining companies, and anybody who extracts gold from ore uses chemical bath. Gold cyonide.
Only enthusiastic use borax

I have been looking at electrons and protons with a naked eye all my life.

Entertainment Box! - 2019-10-03

@Ra ́ad Auri Zeichner der konvergenten Strukturierung
I do see electrons in the form of orbital wave around a dark nucleus. Galaxy of tiny atoms move with the eye ball movement and move resembles as baloons tied together tend to rise or fall. If you are interested we can exchange views and experience. t4tomcruise@gmail.com

Entertainment Box! - 2019-10-03

@Ra ́ad Auri Zeichner der konvergenten Strukturierung please contact me as I want to share real experience of looking at galaxy of atoms through naked eye. We may change the opinion of the world

cdrom - 2019-10-27

Go ahead and stare directly into a CRT's exposed electron beam.

You will go blind. Permanently.

cdrom - 2019-10-27

@Ra ́ad Auri Zeichner der konvergenten Strukturierung The human eye physically cannot image anything smaller than 0.1mm. That's assuming your eyes are in good heath and can produce high image quality. Individual chemical bonds are literally 10,000x smaller than that.

I've been in situations similar to what you've described here where I've observed falling dust particles illuminated by a sunbeam, and I was able to distinguish individual particles, but not track them. I'd estimate the particles contained about 5,000 molecules and are about 0.12mm in size. And I didn't need to "pinch my eyes".

cdrom - 2019-10-27

@Ra ́ad Auri Zeichner der konvergenten Strukturierung I mean, I hate to burst your bubble but it's literally impossible to see chemical bonds with the naked eye. Hell, the only microscope technology able to clearly image them is Atomic Force Microscopy and it's derivatives.

I say this because the images produced by Field Ion Microscopes are incomprehensible to everyone but the people who understand the device.

Here's an AFM image showing the structure of an industrial red dye (original AFM image is on top panel): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/NTCDI_AFM2.jpg

It would be interesting to see how that cloud of electrons reacts to a magnetic field.

threeMetreJim - 2019-11-13

I'd like to see it exposed to a rapidly alternating magnetic field. Would you produce any kind of em radiation from those moving electrons?

S/\LT. - 2020-01-25

yeah wouldn't this basically be a superconductor then

G Robb - 2020-02-11

@KeiraR I think what is being argued is should proper English written words have sentences start with the word and. The answer is no. Children start sentences with and while speaking, so do many adults in a causal setting. That's different.

KeiraR - 2020-02-11

@G Robb r/woosh

G Robb - 2020-02-12

@KeiraR You only do that because you're too ignorant to understand. It's ok, it's not your fault.

Lu Aus - 2020-03-13

Hi all I have a masters in chemistry for context. I'm saying that not to express superiority, just knowledge in the field. I just wanted to say. This man is showing you wonders of the universe, and you're arguing over semantics and sentence syntax...just think about that.

G Robb - 2020-03-13

@Lu Aus It's just a debate, and its mentally stimulating. Educated people do it all the time.

Beautiful and interesting. I wonder how this cloud of solvent electrons would react to an external magnetic field.

Assault Corgi - 2019-03-28

You said you would make gold from the most common materials in the universe i saw no such thing

Dr. M. H. - 2019-04-21

@Schlawinius Maximus check out the SAFIRE project (plasma physicists experimentally modeling the sun). It appears that one can do alchemy in plasmas with very high electron densities. They have a mass spec inline to analyze the gas in the plasma chamber in real time...at t=0, only one peak. By the end of their runs the spectrogram shows multiple peaks, corresponding to everything from H to titanium....that's already a rather heavy element! They have a YouTube channel as well
Check out their work...it has Cern beat by "light years" 😸 as good solid science goes

Schlawinius Maximus - 2019-04-21

@Dr. M. H. Sounds interesting, I will look that up! Thanks!

Fuck off

jkk20 - 2019-11-20

@William King nope,it could be much faster. but the problem is the energy cost. if we could have a highly proffitable fusion reactor method with infinite fuel we then could power up large scale particle accelerators to create gold from scratch. but its all about the economy of scale and if its commercially viable wich it isnt right now

loved the beautiful transformations. curious how or why you poured ethanol from a beaker labeled ''acetone'' ? I have worked in shops and witnessed disasters as a result of mislabeled containers.

ArcturanMegadonkey - 2017-11-12

WHERE'S THE GOLD? you said you were going to make gold!!!

Biro Mongzar - 2018-10-22

@Silver Scythe we can indeed create other elements from an element ; in nuclear fission, the Ur atom split into two different atoms viz. Ba and Kr

ffejpsycho - 2018-11-04

pretty sure he meant the colour gold...

Captain Ace - 2018-12-03

Silver Scythe nuclear fusion or fission will give you gold using foreign elements but it costs way more than it’s worth.

Futurist's Foresight - 2019-01-25

@Evil Loch Ness actually they are now saying it's a neutron star to make gold and the heaviest metals, the books use to say super novae.

You said you were pouring ethanol onto the dry ice, but that jar's labeled acetone. Have you been carelessly putting chemicals into mislabeled containers? That's a good way to end up blowing up your lab.

bladd nun - 2019-03-16

@Gantic Had he waited a bit longer, he could have actually frozen the ammonia using either acetone or ethanol. Solid ammonia itself doesn't really react with alkali metals, it needs to be liquid to dissolve the cations and electrons.

Gantic - 2019-03-18

@bladd nun That makes a lot of sense. I assumed the frozen ammonia would react more violently than the liquid but that seems silly on reflection.

KCOWMOO - 2019-03-28

This guy a walking accident fixing to happen watching his video drove me nuts he was unsafe many times he needs to set example so someone else doesn't copy what he doing and gets hurt.

mjouwbuis that’s why it’s important to note that he is a professional in a professional setting with no one else around to worry about. I’m sure it could be explained quite easily by him. Let’s not nitpick

Everything is chemistry, everything is physics, everything is mathematical, and you have to figure it all out. ;)

Sebastian Sirvas - 2018-07-29

EnigmaticNova The clever system we invented would be a representation of the math that actually exists beyond our minds. If there was no math-like structure objectively, then its capacity to model reality and surprise us with unexpected implications would be a massive coincidence.

Also everything “physical” is, when you sit down and try to follow through, mathematical (either points or strings or dimensions or shape or symmetry, ect.).

StaRacer94 - 2018-07-30

Nah we just created all that to explain things. Everything was only math when a human said it was. Before that, what was it?

Sebastian Sirvas - 2018-07-30

But what did we create exactly? Math seems to be both created and discovered. So I would say that what was our creations was the representation of math, but not math itself.

Sebastian Sirvas - 2018-08-01

Robert M. Dunn It is the same. To reformulate what I said according to how you are using the labels, math would be the label for the representation of that which is objectively real and what I call math itself would be something like noumena.

Henry Jiang - 2017-11-12

See Electrons with the naked eye? Naniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

MichaelB52 T. - 2017-11-29

Ok microscopes work by shortening the wavelength of light, so it is small enough to be absorbed and excreted back to the lens, which then again changes the wavelength so you can see it. It takes energy to do this, that’s why there is a plank length, because the amount of energy concentrated to reflect the wavelength would create a small black hole, and ultimately destroy what you are trying to study. A lens works by concentrating light, so that productive interference shortens the wavelength. This still has the amount of energy used to produce it, that’s why you can set things on fire with it. You technically could see electrons, but we are not there yet.

MichaelB52 T. - 2017-11-29

Also that’s not uncertainty principle. We can still see the electron, we just cannot measure it’s velocity. Imagine being blind, and throwing a tennis ball at things to see how far away it it. When you throw it at an object and it bounces back, you know where it WAS, but since you affected it with the tennis ball, it now has a DIFFERENT velocity. You are destroying the information it once carried, and altering it. This is similar to the “Observer affect” where it states you cannot measure a system without changing its information.

MichaelB52 T. - 2017-11-29

Better yet, it’s like taking a picture of a car. Can you so were it is? Yes. Can you know how fast it’s moving? No. This is what we are doing with a microscope at this level.
