SciShow - 2018-04-12

@MrGoatsy they arent brittle. Theyre are if hit at a perfect angle but it has to be perfect

the only way to get more pressure is to have an asian parent open a report card next to their son

@1000 subs with no content That would be a huge problem and would lead to even more overpopulation though.

Dr. Velious - 2019-09-02

@Ethan Brock That's more an infrastructure problem though, if pressed we CAN feed and make space for more people, it's just that there's a lot of feet dragging and bureaucracy in the way right now, we've already got small scale LED grown crops and synthetically grown meats in the pipeline too.

Lauren Doe - 2018-12-10

This makes me wonder what kind of pressures the LHC creates. The collisions happen in tiny areas and they're travelling at near light speed when it happens.

Ducati Dave - 2019-02-07

@Zener Stanfill I dunno, call me stupid, but colliding particles into each other at light speed seems like a lot more of a force. It's strong enough to divide atoms. But, who cares anyway

MrTesla1231 - 2020-03-06

The pressures are probably too extreme for scientists to be able to accurately measure them. Not to mention the fact that these pressures only exist for, like, only quadrillionths of a second.

Arislanbek Kosnazarov - 2020-03-11

That’s basically what they do at CERN

I know you're under pressure but there are more pressing issues at matter.

You can tell Hank was having a really great day when they filmed this XD

That Atom at the center of the Earth core be like " I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders.

VbgVbg 113 - 2019-09-06

The center of the earth is under extremely high pressure, because of it’s own weight being held together by gravity. At the center, you’d be crushed by the pressure. If you were somehow invincible, you’d just float around.
