Nuclear Engineer Reacts to The Action Lab Seeing How Close I Can Get to a Drop of Neutrons - Наука та технологія
Thanks so much for watching! If you want to see my reaction to if the moon fell to earth (similar concepts), please check out: ua-cam.com/video/44uLvnwZDXw/v-deo.htmlsi=xlW9FacnbcNlH1rb
I'm makeing a poster for clean nucular energy do you have advice?
@@boxhunter9742be sure to make it in a green-ish glowing color palette 😅
@@NuttyGeek oh thanks man
Dr.Strangelove would be a great one for you to do!
I love how he made use of camera tricks, magnets, and editing to make that "magic cube" appear heavier.
The neutronium pellet would also be blindingly hot and bright as it compresses the air around it into degenerate matter, raising the temperature into millions of degrees. I'm not sure, but it might even undergo fusion on it's surface from the heat and pressure.
And kicking off lots of x-rays too!
I'd honestly be more worried about the fact said neutronium would stop being degenerate matter itself and violently exploding with more force than every nuclear weapon ever made combined. But hey, if us in front of you you're firmly in the fireball and will in very short order cease to exist as anything other than scattered atoms.
plot twist we all are neutrons
Woah,didnt know that XD 😂
I switched to antineutrons to strictly enforce social distancing.
My name isn't jimmy
@@alecity4877My name isn't jimmy
@@physicsisawesome696 well you aren't a neutron either
of course the problem is that the water pressure would be very high. That orange would get crushed, and so would your finger (and hand), so EVENTUALLY you would be able to touch the neutronium cube, but your finger would be pretty badly damaged, and that end of your finger WOULD have the density of water, due to the crushing force of the water.
Yo I don't know if you reacted already (insert nuclear reactor joke here) - but there's a series of videos of some guys diving at chernobyl inside the reactor buildings where it's flooded, in the first they use diy diving gear, then next time they use real stuff. Seems definitely up your alley. I think the channel is 'kreosan english' I actually found them from a scuba diving channel who reacted to it.
The problem is if we pulled a cube that sized of degenerate neutron matter from a neutron star and "plonked" it on earth there would be a blinding flash as it exploded out taking a huge area with it as there would not be enough mass to keep it in the degenerate state, it would expand at an appreciable fraction of the speed of light to its 100,000,000,000kg size (that's 100,000,000 tons or 1,111,111 whales) flashing instantly into superheated plasma and creating what is technically called a mess.
You fool, you forgot that we are dealing with very powerful magic here.
dont forget your safety goggles
@Valok You're definitely gonna want to put on some gloves when handling a relativistic plasma... as well as a lab coat.
"...what is technically called 'a mess". Darn you, I almost laughed chocolate milk out my nose!
@@Valokhey i wouldent even want to start without a Colin Furze safty tie.
I suspect that what Action Lab refers to as "a neutron star" is some mercury or gallium
It's amazing that one person can make science videos that are higher quality than Bill Nye or any other network show.
Objectively not better than bill nye in any metric.
Look up when Bill Nye was being produced
@@S1L3NTIGamer subjectively I find he presents much more information in a much easier to take in format
@@DanielBohnen I don't have to look it up. I was alive at the time.
Absolutely blasphemous, you should feel ashamed comparing the best of the best with this garbage.
Yeah, I played with a drop of Neutrons once...Once.😂
The electrical shock is funnier, tell him he needs to get shocked lol.
James is a pretty smart cookie that likes to explain things in a more understandable way for the average person and in the process, you actually learn something. And another great person is Steve Mould. Very smart individuals that love to teach in an extremely friendly way.
I really do not find TAL to be good or effective at science communication but I'm subbed cause maybe 1/10 videos are actually good and worth watching. Even a science minded person like myself gets lost when he tries to explain complicated things in a few sentences using jargon. Or he frustratingly cuts corners in experiments and brushes off the idea it could hurt understanding, meanwhile my non-science friends are asking "Why doesn't he try X" because they're not convinced by his explanations.
TAL frustrates me to no end. He makes so many false assumptions and incorrect interpretations. Like the water in this example. Water would not protect you from the gravitational force. Your hand would suffer just as much compression as the water. Guys hand would be soup. Crushed by the insane forces at work.
While I agree he seems to speak a bit too confidently about some his newly learned ideas, I like The Action Lab because he shows how to do cheap and easy to repeat experiments in your house. I feel like he demonstrates that you shouldn't just take things at textbook face value when you can SEE it yourself with experimentation. When he spits out the overly complicated explanations I turn my ears off because he might as well be speaking medical or legal jargon, but then he goes back to the analogy and I can at least grasp the concept again.
To be honest, although I've been recommended the action lab before, I've never actually watched it because his thumbnails made me assume it's just another one of those "fake science" channels that seem to be all the rage recently (I've seen a lot of those...). Speaking of which, did you know those kind of channels are now fully automated by ai? Kyle hill made a video about that a while ago. They just pump out misinformation en masse
Also actually looking at his channel his thumbnails really aren't that bad. I think I just got recommended the "black torch" video and other wacky looking one and just went "nope" immediately
@user-fg5xs9lh7s to be fair, he does spout a lot of fake science In some of his videos.
split atom
Yes
dude this guy is so underrated he needs more subs
I usually love action lab,, but this I must say was one of the weirdest I've seen! Reminded me of something you'd see on sesame Street!😂
“Is that a normal Orange or is that a magic Orange?”
Lol Tyler!! Your sense of humor is excellent.
It's a magic orange! It remained round in that environment.
The Action Lab is Very Good science. More from him please.
A great picture I like to use to picture the sun gravitational and nuclear fusion "fight" is the toracic expansion when breathing. The fusion is when you breath so it expands away from the center, and the gravitational force is when you breath out, as it collapses into the middle
whoever is telling you what videos to watch is doing a great job and understands your demographic
Action Lab is more of a silly channel that educates with science entertainment than actual straight science and theory. Kinda like a kid's science show, like The Magic Schoolbus or some of the more ridiculous Bill Nye episodes.
Not saying there's anything bad about it or trying to talk down about it but it's on a different wavelength than the science channels I normally see you review. He's very creative with how he demonstrates things and there definitely is something to learn from his videos, just ~typically not the kind of learning that'd help you get through a test or really apply to a job or something.
This guy knows how to make amazing videos. It’s a shame he sometimes drops a clanger
Wouldn't the water pressure crush his hand? Water doesn't compress, but it does increase its pressure doesn't it? Would that only happen when being ~1cm away from it, at the "impenetrable" water layer?
He is using a really strong magnet for some of the density tricks.
Dr. James Orgill from The Action Lab has a super strong magnet. It has a pull force of 1,000 pounds, almost a half ton.
Institutions that have more than one of these MUST plan a route VERY CAREFULLY if one of these magnets needs to be moved.
The water would literally pulverize his hand in this example.
If he managed to push his hand into it, sure.
Ya he has some very strong magnets
I love action Lab! Such an under rated channel.
The Sun isn't tearing itself apart... At this point.💀
I love how his introduction is the same every time no matter what
Great video Folse! I have a question. It’s said if water is compressed enough it turns to a solid. Is this true and would it essentially be ice at room temp?
the word you are looking for is phase diagram
surprisingly there seems to be no "hot ice" at least until over stupid pressures
water is a bit of an odd one tho, since its cristaline form has more volume than the fluid one
Edit: Found the stupid pressure. Somwhere under 1 GPa, 10000 atmospheres, ice starts to exist over 0°C
i think the saying was more like; if you hit water fast enough, it behaves like a solid. this simplified, because the water molecules dont have enough time to get out of the way
In this case the water molecules would pack themselves in as dense an arrangement as possible. Water is very unique as a fluid because its stable arrangement of the two hydrogens can be closer in a liquid state than a crystalline state. Thus to transition water to a solid state you actually have to make it less dense. Now at beyond 1 GigaPascal things get a bit strange (that's over 145k pounds per square inch). Water will transition to Ice VII or Ice X. The X phase is basically the point at which there is no longer any difference between a liquid and a solid as the molecules are so densely packed that our definitions of the phases doesn't really matter.
But while they are in a liquid state it is true that any object less dense than the water would be too buoyant to pass through this limit. You would just keep applying force until that object would be compressed to become at least as dense as the water to get any closer (and by then your finger would not be much of a finger anymore...it would probably basically be a blob of Graphite (not until 12Gpa does your finger become diamond).
It would also not generally be at room temp unless there was some large body sufficient to dispel the heat. You would have to do the math to really figure out if there would be enough surface area to dissipate the heat generated. In theory it might be such that you would have a region of very hot Ice surrounded by a shell of supercritical water, surrounded by high pressure steam, surrounded by normal water. Which would be very cool to observe as you'd probably start forming all these currents as supercritical water heated up, floated to the surface, changed to steam, and then the steam would be condensing (essentially raining outward) into a pool of water. Too bad we don't have any superdense materials around to try it....(although that would cause other problems as indicated in the video)
There are a bunch of types of water ice. Regular ice, and then the creatively named ice II to ice XIX, plus subcategories. The Wikipedia article on ice has descriptions and conditions needed for these ices.
Freestanding neutrinos without a total gravity strong enough to keep them neutrinos will results in huge amount of nuclear fission as neutrons decay back into separate electrons and protons
"it's easier to do push ups at the bottom of a pool than at the earth's surface"
Yeah right, I'd like to see you do twenty push ups at the bottom of a pool😂😂
Do you are have your 18+ crads
I think he got me with that title when he first published.
i love the action lab, he make complex science easier to understand through visual effects and a bit of silliness.
The way he says orange 🤣 ORNG
Please do Radioactive Drew one day, I am interested in your take about going to vacation in radioactive spots like former mines, nuclear test sites, etcetera.
Bye bye earth if I am not incorrect. He has a magnet under the table. Great demonstration. 6:50
Ah neat. A cube that size of Neutron star.. just out in the open? At 1 atmosphere? Huh.. He killed all life on Earth in a cataclysmic explosion of light. I wonder how he undid all that..
If he let go of his hands, his butt will be fixed on the "neutron star" forever.
Water wont compress, and even a black hole will float on it.
Flat earthers won't be happy telling them all planets are round
Would it be so powerful that it stops your nerves from sending signals back to your brain, so you cant feel it sucking you in ripping you apart?? Pain free :D
imagine how much the cube would destabilize Earth's orbit
He basically showed Gojo's infinity at the end there lol
What if you added water after you touched the neutron drop?
Just don't try to orbit a neutron star in a General Products hull.
he did it with a huge electromagnet
Well his videos are mainly for kids, not PhDs haha
This was originally an XKCD comic, but ActionLab's performance of it is top-notch.
magic of magnets
I believe I remember from high school astronomy that if the sun were to collapse into a neutron star it would be roughly 100m in diameter
I think this was covered in what if.
Wouldn’t that amount of neutronium on Earth explode upon being separated from a neutron star? I would think that it would produce an enormous explosion lasting several hours and emitting many, many orders of magnitude more energy than the combined yield of Humanitys nuclear arsenal. At the peak of the Cold War. TL;DR, if actionLab actually used his “magic” it would cause an apocalypse.
That was my hypothesis when I first watched the video anyway.
@Action Lab nice drama technique lol
the table is tilted
Goddammit here I just took a break from vids on horror games, full of gore, fleshy abominations and blood, I go pick a nice wholesome physics video and I'm given mental image of a small Saturn with viscera for rings. Just my luck.
the action lab always does these silly visualisation explanations. they are pretty good at explaining complicated ideas in easy to understand visual theoretical demonstrations :D
Plot twist water does compres
How long woult that sample be stable outeside of the gravatyfeld of the neuron star?
You'd have to build a wormhole to the core of a neutron star, and then use the other end of the wormhole to destroy your enemies! Muahahahaha! Oh sorry. I meant use the neutronium to solve the world's energy problems and build star ship engines.
Of course physics being the total bummer that it is, building the wormhole would probably cost more energy than you'd get from the neutronium.
Yea luckily the Sun will not go into E.V. battery runaway for a few millennia at least lol.
He has a magnet under a table
You should watch the video John Oliver made on nuclear waste. Love the videos btw :)
13:04 but what happens if you manage to get the water to the exact same boyency as your finger?
I'd imagine his finger would behave similarly to the water: it would get highly compressed. It would not be nice for him. Though I suspect the water would have an enormous pressure so his hand should have been crused to begin with, at least if he gets close enough.
You should see some of action lab’s vids
We would not orbit the drop of a neutron star unless we were moving sideways at a high velocity relative to the drop of a neutron star.
The tidal effects would have torn him apart.
I see one major flaw in his demonstration. A neutron mass surrounded by water would be impossible, as the water close to it would vaporize instantly (and probably the entire room around it for that matter) due to the millions of degrees of heat it generates.
yes, true. But that was not the ultimate point he wanted to make. He wanted to explain how that principle of gravity and buoyancy interact with each other. Water around earths core would also evaporate, but we have extra layers in between.
Explosions happen in car engines too but they don't tear themselves apart (normally anyway, a severely neglected one will) well actually this applies to all combustion engines, Combustion, well the sun... Well it must be combusting cause it's very hot so the hydrogen must burn right, cause how else does it produce light, fusion must just be so hot, that it produces light
1) fusionis not equal to burning. For burning you need an oxidant. Both burning and fusion are exothermic. That's why both produce heat and light.
2) Explosion generates a shockwave, ICE usually doesn't have shockwaves. They are burning the fuel, not exploding it. Usually.
3) The fusion reaction inside a star is a rather steady event, not a series of explosions.
Oh yeah
Did bro call one pound heavy💀
Elon tweeted the other day. "Event horizon balance beam"..... mind blown tweet. 9:24
Jimmy likes this video
He was using magnets
Combustion. It combusts hydrogen. 2:25
Insane physics. 3:11
wouldn't the neutronstar droplet suck up all the water?
It probably would form a hardened shell around the droplet. Ignoring the fact that there is no more gravity keeping that much matter in a compressed state.
And I'm not no scientist or anything I just do a lot of research
Nutron soup. Enough said. 11:15
I’m a fan of a lot of science UA-camrs, but Action Lab has always rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.
His vocal fry is uncomfortable to listen to, but his science is much better than the Backyard Scientist. That guy just does dumb, dangerous shit.
Yeah same, Idk why though.
I've been watching action lab for a long time and have seen so many people think there is something off about him. he's just very mysterious and has never been involved in any content outside of his channel, not a single interview or anything and most other science youtubers don't acknowledge him
@@jaizo_ while probably completely off, something to me just doesn't feel genuine about his presentation. I can't really explain it. I also don't get a sense of authority from his style, like... he watched a video and maybe read a wiki page then made a video.
I know he's made a few inaccurate statements or messed things up, but everyone makes mistakes.
Ultimately, I just think his content is aimed at a different audience.
Balance beam. 12:40
The sun explodes every day the sun rays when they explode wearing about hitting the Earth so yeah they do explode
𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘦
Not a big fan of channels like the action lab. These people aren't physicists yet they are trying to explain complex ideas. It’s hard to explain something that you don’t understand.
I'm guessing you meant that they AREN'T physicists.
@@inkoalawetrust
yes! Thanks, corrected.
Day 3 of asking Folse to watch EmpLemon's - "There may Never Ever be a man as powerful as Stanislav Petrov".
Action Lab... spammy clickbait annoyance
6h ago
That video is so very cringe. That guy is someone I could never take seriously.
Bro... Keep the video playing and not pausing every two seconds, or im more likely to just watch the original, and use your main page as a Scouting platform. GO back after the full Video has been watch by us and comment on specific sections you want to teach us about..
You probably should just go watch the original. He legally has to keep stopping the video to offer commentary to be classified as Fair Use.
Probably the point - if you find them interesting you should give the original video a view anyway. It benefits the creators so they keep making things worth reacting to.
Also I'm pretty sure if he did just play the original video in full, then talk about it afterwards there'd be some copyright issues.
Your content is extremely derivative. Try making something that is not a reaction to someone else's content.
Dont talk too much😊
But I like the talking
Disagree heavily, the main draw of this channel is his own professional experience and knowledge, not just the reaction aspect. You've already commented this twice as well, seems a bit rude to come to someone's channel and tell them to speak less. The original video always exists without any commentary if you don't want it.
Dont type too much 😊
Don't want someone to talk?
Then don't watch a reaction video.
Why are you commenting this on every single video?
Don't post too much.
Well his videos are mainly for kids, not PhDs haha
