  • You probably studied the "regular" periodic table in school-but did you know there are more versions of the periodic table than just the one you know? The periodic table of elements has gone through many iterations since it was first used to organize elements over 150 years ago! Join Michael Aranda in this new episode of SciShow and learn all about them!

  • @jomiar309
    @jomiar309 Před 5 lety +89

    Another really cool thing that comes up in radiochemistry (which is chemistry, but with super-heavy or radioactive atoms) is that really large atoms (actinides) actually have electrons moving at appreciable fractions of the speed of light, deforming orbital shapes and significantly altering chemical properties. In fact, arranging the periodic table to group electrons (the "standard" periodic table) generally also groups elements by chemistry, since valence electrons usually are the ones that form the bonds. But this isn't true for the actinides. Because of the deformed orbitals, chemical bonds form very differently, and they behave very differently, breaking periodicity. This has led radiochemists to propose another table arrangement based on chemistry trends.

    For Nuclear physicists there is also the chart of nucleotides which works on similar principals except built around the configuration of the nucleus yet another example of the many ways people categorize things.
    The key to keep in mind should be that our categories are never absolute take the periodic table where as you go down the periods the elements start behaving strangely as the electron valence shells become increasingly relativistic.
    Another example is plate tectonics if you consider everything to be plates not just the continental material swap out the idea of plates for oceanic crust for the tops of mantle convection cells and treat the continents as buoyant rafts of rock and the way "plates" behave suddenly seems far clearer.
    For each pattern one representation will bring it to clarity but it comes at the expense of the other dimensions of complexity to the world around us.

    7:20 "When read from top to bottom and left to right, it gives the exact order in which electrons fill up an atom's available energy shells." 10% or so of the elements beg to disagree. (Chromium, silver, and friends, in case that's unclear.)

    @user-le9rz3gd9o Před 5 lety +3

    In order for certain new technology to be expressed, or to be released, there has to
    be a willingness to receive it. And this requires both the change in the
    collective consciousness but it also
    requires that there are certain scientists who are willing to question
    what most scientists are currently not questioning, including
    materialism.
    Now, just as a concrete example here, you
    have the whole concept of free energy. This can be explained actually in
    terms of what is currently known by quantum physics. You have
    observations made by quantum physicists in bubble chambers, that you can
    have a state where there are no particles, suddenly one particle
    appears, divides itself into several particles, they collide again and
    then disappear. There have been some scientists who have been willing to
    speculate that, beyond what can be observed even at the subatomic
    level, there must be some kind of energy field, some call it a quantum
    field, some call it a ground state, whatever they call it, but it has
    basically been proven by quantum physics, that there is some state
    beyond the physical material realm. And in that state there is energy.
    And that energy can then enter the material realm and become physical
    matter. If you take this and put it together with a big bang, you can
    see that, is it actually logical that all of the matter and all of the
    energy that is now in this huge universe was compressed into something
    called a singularity? Whatever that may be. Is this really logical?
    Obviously,
    all of the matchup could not fit in there. But could the energy
    actually fit into a single point? Is it not just as logical to say that
    there was an event where energy from a different realm entered the
    material frequency spectrum. And this means that all of the matter that
    you see in the world today is actually created from energy. This was
    proven by Einstein. And that energy must have come from somewhere, and
    what has now been proven for those who are willing to see it by quantum
    physics, is that that energy came from another realm. It entered the
    material world, the physical realm from another realm. Well, is that not
    free energy? Is it not thereby proven that the entire world is created
    by free energy? So does that not mean it is also possible that
    technology could be created, that would be able to, so to speak, channel
    the energy from a different realm into the material realm, where it
    could then be used to perform physical work or at least create
    electricity that could power machines that perform physical work. This
    is perfectly in line with what has already been discovered. See, what
    you have right now is, you have a state of technology, which is a
    reflection of the collective consciousness and the collective
    consciousness does not really fully accept the existence of another
    realm. That is why as we have said humankind has become a closed circle,
    a closed system subject to the second law of thermodynamics. That is
    why the technology you have today, the energy sources you have today,
    you think that the only way to provide energy is to either burn some
    kind of fuel, or split the atom, and free the energy that is already in
    the material realm. But this is simply a certain mindset that is based
    on an incomplete understanding of how the world works. As I said,
    quantum physics has already proven that the world is created by energy
    from another realm, and therefore, there is naturally much more energy
    in that realm and it is a matter of raising our view of the world, our
    understanding of the world, raising the collective consciousness until
    we can grasp what that other realm is like, and therefore be able to
    receive the technology that can make use of the energy that is there. It
    may be not so constructive to talk about free energy, but it is free in
    a sense that there is no cost, there is nothing that needs to be burned
    or consumed in the material realm in order to harness this energy and
    therefore, we might call it a different name and many different names
    could be suggested.

      A perfect vacuum, i.e. a space with absolutely no particles in it, won't even have a temperature, or at least not in the same sense that matter does. Temperature is based on the kinetic energy of the particles of the matter. If there are photons passing through the perfect vacuum, then they can provide a 'temperature' based on the energy of those photons.
