- A clip from Discovery Channel's "Raging Planet" on the subject of lightning. If you find lightning a facinating and beautiful force, then check this clip out. The camera technology has gotten to where scientists have been able to record and playback a lightning strike at over 200X slower with really cool results.

"The sky reaches for the earth. And the earth responds 'here I am'"
Sounds something what a God would say
@@woodonfire7406 Job 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?
"and ayeeeeeye will always love yoooouuuui!"
Oh wow! I didn’t know that could happen!
I never heard it. I’m deaf and blind! Thanks for your contribution!
More like “PEEK-A-BOO”
Seeing it "search" like that while in the cloud is creepy. I always assumed lighting is a single bolt. Seeing it wiggile like that freaks me out a bit
@@ker0356 that would be cool
@@ker0356 its trying to strike you but its blind
@@ker0356 Quantum physics.
there is an easy experiment we can perform to see if lightning is intelligent. Here, you hold this kite string, and I'll take notes under this pointy metalic looking tree.
I always assumed it took the path of least resistance. But didn't really think about how it would find that path.
Imagine if the step leader was that slow in real life while the actual discharge was still at a blinding flash of speed. It would be beautiful
Imagine the sense of dread as one appears directly above you.
@@emma- holy shit! That’s a damn unnerving idea ! 🙇🏻♂️😅
@@emma- *run.*

It'd be even more terrifying if the step leader started following you to your house.
Lightning is the most amazing and scary thing there is. There is no other discharge with such power and voltage levels.
South Africa's Escom should find a way to capture lightning; electricity for everybody for ever.
There is and it is your mum's
@@450clancy6 Ew, post taco bell discharge
@@HeinRichKocHPretoria there is it’s called “energy” this is available to anyone it’s called frequency
Unfettered 'energy' ie lightning can rise to millions of volts because it's not restricted by anything just like a dead short in a 400kv substation to earth.
You really can't enjoy watching a storm without the lightning, at sunset during a summer storm watching the lightning light up the inside of the clouds, better than any fireworks show
One of the main reasons I love Colorado. The storms out here are incredible, and every summer, the lightning that you described is absolutely worth grabbing a chair, a beer, and watching the show. Nothing puts into perspective the power of mother nature like a high-altitude lightning storm.
Yeah lighting is much more beautiful than the freaking fireworks..idk why but the firework making my ear hurt more than when lighting strike ..
Also, if you live in a High-Lightning strike zone, then watch as your neighbors' tree gets struck.
@@LymezoidBeats lol
@@hamusapphire2201 Like the neighborhood behind my house has been struck MULTIPLE times in the SAME storm, and in different storms.
That explains why you get the buzzing feeling when there’s about to be a strike near you. If you are outside in a storm and feel that “static” feeling there’s about to be a hit near you.
how does it explain?
you ever rub a balloon through your hair, or at least seen someone with long hair have it done to them? if it happened to you did it have a peculiar feeling around your head and the balloon and/or if you did it to someone else noticed the hair reach for the balloon?
This is a static difference in charge, and that feeling is it being attracted to each other and reaching out, as you may imagine that is near literally nothing compared to lightning and the great imbalance of charge involved
Basically the same feeling of being attracted to the air around you and the tingling from electric charges reaching out (remember, at least a good portion of nerve commutation to brain is electrical in nature) happens near where lightning will strike as the negative charge of the clouds starts reaching for the grounds positive charge, and that positive charge may "decide" to choose you as part of the path
Or maybe a HIT is about to happen ON you. Really.
I can confirm the "static feeling", I almost got hit by lightning once, thankfully it hit a power pole instead.
Exactly. I had one hit a tree next to me. Im talking split seconds before it happened all my hair on my arms stood up and skin went all goose bumpy then crack and the swearing started shortly after hahaha
The Fact that this was 11 Years ago Really shows how Advanced We’ve Become Since. Now things Like Recording Slo-Mo Lightning can be Done on a Phone!
If this was redone today it could be made even slower
Well mate, youl never know till you drop dead and gamble with your eternal soul now will you. Dh
@General Cham it’s been around thousands of years why would 11 years make it to away?
The fact that the original comment was made 34 years ago that I’m replying to really shows how advanced we’ve become since. Now things like this recording Slo-Mo Lightning can be done not on a phone but on a banana!
@@fault. monke
The feelers that come out of the ground, looking to connect with the bolt, are to me the most amazing thing. Because I doubt many of us not in this field of work, were aware that this is how lightning makes contact with objects on the ground or in the sky. It was awesome to see several of them still sticking out of the ground, even after the lightning from the cloud had already made a connection. They looked Almost like electrical garden eels!! Amazing!!
13 years
A lightening strike at a distance is most beautiful when seen from the air. As I returned from a cross country flight done as part of private pilot training and my home rural airfield and its pattern were in sight I saw a strike from a cloud to the ground in the distance. It was clear enough that I could see the entire bolt and it was one of the most impressive phenomena I have had the pleasure of seeing while doing light plane flying.
incredible
Amazing 😮
It sounds like you're writing an essay
Outta ya damn mind 😂
Wowzerz
The way the lightning "investigates" the path to the ground seems almost sentient.
It's like an a* pathfinding algorithm
It's the same way water "investigates" a path through land, forming a river.
It's the same way I find my phone in the dark
@@hrgwea ehh, its a bit different. Rivers all flow into one main stream, while lightning "veins" out from a central source. You'll very rarely see rivers splitting like that
@Tahu Nuva, the river is the result after the water already found the path of least resistance. You rarely see a lighting splitting in two, because that requires that two paths are found.
So, the two processes are identical, the only difference is the speed at which they occur.
0:06 now I know from where dragon Ball Z got those mega kick sounds.
Funfact: *If the lighting is going to strike you then you will get goosebumps and every hair on your will stand before it hits you.*
This happened to me once while I was in a car.Thankfully it hit a few meters away from me
It's due to to the positive streamers discharging or rather attracting the negatively charged lightning towards itself. So, as the video showed positive streamers rising from the ground, if you are around it, your hair tends to have that static electricity which attracts itself towards the lightning.
It was the loudest thing you've ever heard right? BANG! (I have been close to a lightening strike myself).
I once heared the loudest bang ever then everything went white. I was temporarily blinded. Since sound travels slowly i would have noticed a delay even if it was just 100 yards away. How I didn't get struck, i have no idea. Was it a streamer that blinded me? Who knows. I didn't get goosebumps because i was riding my bicycle downhill at 55mph with just a shirt on
The "step leader" looks like an algorithm to find the ground
Isn't is a fractal?
Algorithms are the simulacra not the other way around
The dynamics of a lightning strike could never be explained that elegantly 🤣
@@MadScientist267 I don't think there is anything elegant about algorithms, just the opposite. Nature is elegant, the brain is elegant whereas an algorithm to recognize faces is brute force digital computation.
@@billdberger7407 Hate to say it but there's nothing elegant about a lightning strike. That's more pissed off electrons trying to get from one place to another, a really good distance apart at that, *NOW*
It may be efficient, beautiful, mesmerising, potent, spontaneous, bright, loud, violent... Probably a few others that aren't immediately coming to mind... But elegant isn't on my list.
It is however, far as I'm concerned, nature's most impressive "single" release of energy on this planet, I can absolutely give it that.
I never knew or heard of the positive streamers lightning makes from the ground.
St. Elmo's Fire.
It's just ions and moving electrons. Simple chemistry.
Yes they have low clouds with purple flashes and then it rains like hell lol
Imagine if it was slow in real life if you are gonna get hit by lightning you will see a +ive stream on you head lol
And that's when you know you are fkd

The best lightning show I ever saw was on a plane flying high above the clouds over the Pacific in the inky black night looking down on a reticulate network of charged fractals crisscrossing across my entire field of view.
All fun and games until that bad boy slithers to your plane!
@@zakaria4202 don't worry tho, since airplanes are designed to handle lighting strikes, lightings won't have any effect on the plane, plus the plane is flying above the clouds which the lightings most likely can't strike, that's why pilots tend to go up above the clouds rather than lowering down the plane when there's a storm
@@Odysseus_Petrichor you're right about not being in danger above the clouds.
But don't think lightning can't do damage planes because "it's designed to handle". That shows lack of understanding on the linearizations and approximations we do, and underestimating nature
Lighting, though pretty common, always amazes me. The step leaders phenomenon is just astonishing. Seeing charges grow out of the tops of trees and telephone poles, as if saying, “here, over here! Choose me!”
I remember watching this series as a kid and being fascinated by all the stuff our planet is capable of. Volcanoes, Hurricanes, Lightning, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Floods... those are the VHS tapes I had...
I'm still fascinated. Netflix has a bunch of great documentaries about this kind of stuff available now

@@jupiterr9892 it makes sense really
Yep that’s exactly what I was likening it to... it’s got to be all the same intelligence behind this extraordinary reality
It's amazing, how branched out lightning really is, though we usually only notice the single bolt.
I love how discovery channels have the sheer power to just turn almost anything into a horror film
This is just.....beautifully terrifying ♡

@@drbright10 Hello? This is the based department. We just wanted to tell you that we're impressed with your work.
@@Maraien dear god 😭💀
😭😭😭
I had a positive streamer come up through me once. The brilliant blue flowed out of my hand and into a truck I was next to. Every muscle in that arm contracted instantly and painfully. The main bolt arced over head and hit the ground. I told the ER physician how lucky I felt to have survived and for a split second was PLASMA MAN!
That must have been an amazing experience to see the charge blasting out of your arm. Lucky you escaped the other one coming from above.
did you gain super power from that? did your brain becomes a super computer?
The film was true, someone can hold a flow of electricity.
Did you get refreshed after that strike?
This has to be brain destroying. How could you mentally survive to such noise/light? Do you feel ok?
And I watched it at .25x speed to get extra super slow motion🙃

It doesn't make it slower you only get to see the frames slower but the technical speed doesn't change.
It's 11 years later and I still find these recordings fascinating..!
Use me as the “If only this were in a higher resolution” button
Now, the super rare ground to cloud strikes are captured on video. I find those even more fascinating. Planetary scale voltage adjustment taking place.
@@1000-THR no.
Lightning is just the visual element of current flow. Current flows from higher potential to the lower potential. Let's just assume that electrons carry the charge. The positive hole theory adopted by the US military is only confusing the issue here for time being. The current flows through space all the way from the Sun following the lines of flux. Birkland current is it's name. The entire universe is run like this. The best way to spot the upward current path is by observing the branching of the lightning leaders. The main charge comes from one source and dissipate over distance.
@@1000-THR Why do people think lightning comes from the ground?
I'll never understand it and this is not the first time I have heard it.
@@1000-THR bruh did you even watch the video? it literally shows lightning going from the cloud to the ground
@@JonatasAdoM theres a photo of it coming from the ground.. its like the strike is magnetically pulling it from the earth. and the tallest/easiest one pulled from the earth meets the one from the sky for the exchange
@@JonatasAdoM the lightning from the sky searches the path of least resistance. Once it comes close to the ground, positive charges are pulled by the extreme potential towards the lightning branches, creating a small lightning like branch coming from the gorund. The first two that connect, create a circuit and the whole charge discharges through that line in almost an instant.
2:33 You didn't wipe the third camera. Don't you love it?

Not gonna lie, that “rare photograph” looks a lot like an anime battle
And that, friends, is why you don't stand under a tree in lightning.
Maybe I'm missing something here but to my knowledge, if you're the best choice for the lightning e.g. a golfer in a barren golf course, it will go for you.
So why would standing under a tree be bad if it then goes for the tree and discharges into the ground?
@@Chiz1992 The lightning charge travels down the tree and boils the sap. The instant steam causes the tree-trunk to explode, sending large chunks of wood in all directions. Once the ionised path is established but the tree is removed, the 'shelterer' becomes the next conductive object that takes the charge. Alternatively, the tree sap boils away, the wood resistance rises, then the charge jumps out of the side of the tree and heads for the nearest grounded object - the sheltering golfer. In through the head, out through the feet, bang you're dead!

Hood: "Chief, mind telling me why you're on TV?"
Chief: "Sir, watching lightning in slow motion."
Holy hell it does sound like him🤣
What I've seen working outdoors is lightning DOES NOT always strike the tallest object. It picks the best path, and many times multiple paths, to ground! Beautiful but lethal and scary at the same time!
"Lighting DOES NOT always strike the tallest object." I know that for a fact! Riverside CA rarely gets thunderstorms, and the ones they get are real miniscule. Once, when it was just overcast, a guy was walking along a low point when a bolt of lightning struck the ground, missing him by 10 feet! This, in spite of a bunch of palm trees in the area, plus a 200 foot hill! The poor guy went into shock!
Absolutely fascinating, like to see what they can do with the cameras now. ✌🏽✨
Everyone gangsta until a skyscraper-tall-big-ass muscular man pops up after the lightning strikes the ground
God it's so beautiful. I can totally see how our ancestors thought it was the Gods I mean how else can you explain such beauty and endless power
Clouds things going so fast that they can make electricity and then turning it into lightning i think it’s called science

High speed cameras have been around for decades. Before videos system could perform fast enough, researchers used high speed film cameras to record events for later analysis in slow motion.
He had a government research budget to pay for them too.
talking about frequency, Tesla had that suspicion 100 years ago. Glad we figured it out now.
I KNOW. Gosh, the things he would discover if he could work with the current technology and resources of the 21st century. His research far exceeded that of his time, I would have loved to have a conversation with him. It would be quite fascinating.

If you watch the series Warehouse 13, you can understand why it is about Tesla a lot of times, he was a genius :)
Krisztián Szirtes
I tried wathing that series, but I imetiatly stopped watching when I saw a katana that makes his wearer invisible by guiding the photons around him through it´s sharp blade.
When I saw that i thought: "Nope, i am outta here"
just shows that science is not the search of truth as they would have us believe.
@@krisztianszirtes5414 He was one of a kind.
After he died the american government took over his entire work and went trough all his stuff. Just to make sure that everything he was working on could not be a _threat_ when in hands if _enemies._ A guy who went through his stuff; Trumps relative.
Now, _if_ they found something - would the government really tell that...?
You know, Teslas mind must have been beyond genius, when a government feard that some of his ideas could end up in other hands and built a threat.
Tesla was talking about wirless energy in times when such things as smarthphones and wifi did not exist. His imagination from back then is today reality. Tesla was mentally already in 2019; if not even further.
The thought of a person trying to capture lightning in high speed... Have to thank you for that! And the knowledge gained from the footage... invaluable
Simply awesome! Lightning is amazing, but yet, so powerful.

hi.

We should use the femto camera developed by ravi shankar it can captyre lightining's movement at the speed of light that is trillion frames per second🤔🤔
Humans breathe air.
When you film at night with a GoPro and lightning strikes, the still photo just looks like you took a photo during the day.
This is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Also the explanation is fascinating. My mind is nlown at how many things happen at a split second.
It intrigues me how something that sounds so petrifying and is so destructive in nature can appear to be so ethereal. A very beautiful phenomenon.
Super slow and the lightning is still quick
Funny thing is they wasted all that time and money with expensive slowmo cams when just setting a dim exposure and leaving the shutter open on the DSLR does the exact same thing. It's easy to interpret from a still image too based on structure and brightnesses so this experiment yields no additional useful info.

I could watch these things for hours. Sooo fascinating.
I have been close enough to a lighting bolt strike to not only hear the "sizzle" sound like eggs frying in a pan, but also see the bolt is not a continuous arc, instead it was a string of "sausages" - small individual separate arcs a few to several feet long, with a gap between them.
My Dad had a cousin in the early 1900s, she was riding a horse in a thunderstorm, got hit, burned a hole through her hat, she survived, the horse died. After that, really strange, mosquitoes never bothered her anymore, but bit everybody else in the group.
I have seen ground to air lighting, of course the air to air and air to ground is the most common.
I have seen winter lightning in a snow storm blizzard; and lightning when NO clouds around, clear skies.
I have been in a house when lightning struck it, and seen electric arcs shoot across the doorway, from the hinges on one side to the door knob and striker plate on the other side.
I am lucky to be here.
2:47 OHH it's like a race...who ever gets to the ground first.....WINS
It's the wave function and the collapse of the wave function, submicroscopic QM concepts occurring at macro scale.
Unless your standing at the spot it connects too. "Tag, your out! "
The path of least resistance applied here as well ?
Water slows light by 75%, so we can assume that the gamma photons are trying to follow the path with least water.
Of course the lightning goes faster than the water can fall so it only has to worry about where water is in its path as no water is going to fall into the lightning as it traces its way down and flashes.
@@ZeroOskul No wonder why the Desert Southwest lightning displays are so Incredible!
Funny I remember experts were saying that lightning started from the ground upwards and this video just proved that it indeed does not do that. What a great video, I actually learned a lot, much more than school or anywhere else lol.
I remember hearing about that. Also reminded of a movie..
I think “they” meant there is some form of electrical energy that can emerge from the GROUND
Just not exactly the same as thunder
I mean it *can*, but it isn't nearly as common as cloud-to-ground lightning
I hope the algorithm never stops recommending this to me
I want to see more of this. Awesome!
2:44 that is just about the coolest thing ever ._.
Whenever I hear this particular narrator's voice, I know I am about to learn something interesting.
Right? Pitty that I can't remember his name 😥.
His voice is one of my best sleeping pills.
That's amazing! Looks alot like how slime molds grow. Both branch out looking for what they need, either food or a grounding point respectively, then take the path of least resistance once it's found.
after he said "pulses" i was like, "wait, this kinda sounds like aliens are coming down and sending very loud volts of energy to earth. to finish simulating"
Totaly man
It’s just amazing that kind of power and charge exists within our atmosphere and all around us. The sky and clouds meet to form this larger than life electrical connection.
I saw this in real life a while back. I was standing on my front porch watching a storm and lightning happened to strike my neighbors fence right in the center of my field of vision. I saw a thin branch of lightning from the ground to the end of my field of vision, then the next instant it was as thick as a tree trunk and i almost jumped through my screen door.
I bet you got tone deaf for the next few hours, after that.
strikeout1991 Actually it didn't really hurt my ears, but I could see the photo negative of the bolt every time I closed my eyes for a long time.
MrHeems
Oh damn, that must've been fucked up.
That must have been crazy dude i would have run into my house screaming lol
I saw it as well. Laying in a backpacking tent during an intense Florida thunderstorm. I had pulled my pack into the tent and it was just getting dark. I could feel the static building up and saw tiny purple blue sparks rising up off the metal rings on my pack for a couple of seconds before the main bolt hit a pine tree about 50 feet away. One of those talk to god moments where your cursing yourself for being out there in that situation and happy to live through it.
Wow.... Love it, thank you!!!
Wow I have never seen the lightning like that. It firstly looks for the way down and then hits with full power! Never knew before! I am actually blown away!
This lightning proves how much farther cameras need to be improved at capturing more frames per second. Good find.

I could watch this all day, I just want to see more slow mo lightning
It's a miracle that now one can shoot these slowmotion with their phones, Technology is really evolving
Imagine being able to harness that energy!
that would be satisfy moment..
Even if we had the technology (not quite yet) it would be a cost prohibitive infrastructure & danger to air travel for all of the towers required, we still get more energy from the sun in an hour of daylight than we could use in a year. Lightning seems powerful (and it is, being hotter than the surface of the sun) but it just doesn't last long enough. Think a 60 watt light bulb plus 1 refrigerator powered just over a week from a typical single bolt.
1.21 gigawatts?!?!?!?!
Took the guy 2 years to film one lightning, how much time you think you will need to wait just to power your house for a day? And where will you store that burst of electricity without blowing everything up?
@Drip4Sale Earth has 510 million quilometers squared of surface area, even if it was 8 million lightnings an hour, it's still not enough to become a viable option for energy
