Consume the square root of the weight of one mole of carbon in drinks, then try again. If that does not work, multiply the previous amount by 1.5. By then the numbing should either fade, or increase to the point of no longer caring. Either way, just don't be driving for several hours. lol
Can you explain to Neil & Chuck that a VPN doesn't prevent sites to track you though? They really are clueless about the actual functionality of their sponsor... Thanks a lot!
@@RafiGish Except that criminal scammers utilize VPN's all of the time to avoid being tracked. A vpn can block tracking technology. It is why internet criminals use a vpn. To avoid being tracked and located. All a website or ISP would be able to determine is that a person is using a VPN. And not every website or ISP are able to even detect that, much less track anything else on a system running a VPN. Where the risk actually lies in regards to VPN's is that the creator of the VPN can track your every single move. Many actually do so actively. Norton for example offers VPN service. Except they track EVERYTHING done while using the service. Talking passwords, home addresses, mother's phone numbers, who a user talks to online. The list is unbelievably long.
I'm so grateful for people like Neil and chuck to put so much effort into their craft but also taking the time to educate and entertain us. Great work guys. Keep it up
i think yr taking about atoms. those molecules wont stay the same for long as they constantly exchange atoms. watermolecules for instance are constantly exchanging hydrogen atoms with one another.
i know i may be alone in this but ive clearly understood the concept of mole in just 2 minutes of Neil's explanation than all the combined classes of my chemistry teacher
Only this corner of the internet will truly appreciate how precious it is that, in all of time and space, we exist at the same time as Startalk. A wonderful gift to us all.
It has been a while, even though I am a long time subscriber, since I have watched a social distancing version of StarTalk. Reluctantly, this is the first episode i have turned into. And I must say it gives me and mine much hope in adapting to a new method of interaction and exchange of ideas. Watching the prestigious teachings of Dr. Tyson and intellectual yet comedic commentary of Mr. Nice assures all of us we shall continue in our ambitions to experiment, learn, teach, and repeat.
Thank you for being here to take my mind off of all that is going on right now..I appreciate it ❤ I know this was 2+ years ago but it's helping me now 😊
The thought of tools being able to manipulate atoms and assemble molecules as we see fit immediately gave me goosebumps! Anyone else thinking of new materials that may have properties we can't even dream of yet? Really exciting stuff! Thanks a lot for Star Talk, you guys are awesome
@@cristineevangelio5223 One more reason to dig deeper :) My last real contact with the periodic table was about 20 years ago in school, so...I'm not surprised that a lot has happened since :) Thanks for the heads up
Thank you so much for bringing my attention to "quantum construction" on a molecular level. This has potential on a macro level after optimizing it on a micro level. This process could be the missing piece for the next gen computer, food science, and environmental stability. Great episode!
11:51 CORRECTION; atomic number of carbon is 6 not 12. Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. What he was referring to I guess is MASS NUMBER of carbon
I think he got ahead of himself and did not catch the mistake before moving on. lol Did your brain scream at you too when you heard it? Or was it just mine I heard having a fit? lol
The smallness of molecules highlights the fundamental scale at which chemical interactions and processes occur. Despite their tiny size, molecules play a crucial role in shaping the properties and behaviors of matter, influencing everything from biological functions to material science. Their small scale necessitates sophisticated techniques to observe and manipulate them accurately. How might advancements in nanotechnology and molecular imaging further our ability to understand and harness the power of these minute building blocks of the universe?
It would be interesting to see an animation of how a single breath of air spreads across the whole world. Does that happen in 10 years or does it take 10,000 years, or maybe even longer.
The smallest length possible according to the laws of physics, would be the Planck length which is 10^-35 m. In fact, if you could get any smaller, you'd end up with a black hole and it would take an incredible amount of energy to create a mini black hole, and more energy results in larger volumes. So inevitably (although it sounds weird) eventually, the micro becomes the macro and perhaps (this is just my conjecture) the macro becomes the micro. So we might live in an extremely weirdly-shaped, contorted universe kind of analogous to the surface of the Earth where if you traveled in one direction you'd eventually end up where you started except in this case it's applied to size scales.
Spent some time recently on FB learning about the English women who discovered the basic building block of the universe. Her, along with many other women, have been left out of the stories of discovery in many STEM fields. I remember the women who actually first saw the double helix of DNA, or the women with he slide rule that checked NASA calculations for early space flights. How about shedding some light on some of those folks in your series?
It has to be a long enough time for the molecules to spread everywhere, so you may not have. That's why he only brought up historical figures from hundreds or thousands of years ago.
I have been playing around with fog water droplets, and it seems to me that it takes more energy to put the fog droplets back togather in one large mass then it does to produce the fog in the first place. Some astronaut said that tiny water droplets tend to bounce off one another because of a coating of air around the droplets. Is this similar to fusion teck ?
The mole is a concept that didn't originate until 50 years after Avogadro's death. The reason Avogadro is the namesake of the unit, is because of his contribution to the ideal gas law, that the volume is proportional to the number of molecules, regardless of the substance identity. In other words, the idea that the R in the ideal gas law is a constant, rather than a substance-specific value. Avogadro's idea that population of gas molecules is what ultimately matters to gas laws, is why he is the namesake of the number of molecules in a mole.
Reminds me of a quote from a TV Show called Life in the Episode Fathingale. We are none of us alone. Even as we exhale, it is inhaled by others.

i hope they never run out of things to explain
They literally couldn’t if they tried.
Knowledge is infinite
Yeah explaining everything would be the best and worst thing that could happen for science.
How could one run out of things to explain?
Impossible! Too many things to talk about.
Be it 3 minutes or 3 hours - this show is always a JOY to watch
Agreed
Neil: "I have nothing else to add to that... oh, by the way..." and he continues his awesome examples :)
Yeah, I was slightly disappointed he won't mention the star counts... Then he did.
I don't think anybody behind the curtain is looking for a good influence.
"12 grams isn't that much." Yeah tell the judge that! 😂
This comment underrated gold.
I was thinking something similar... don't guys charge like $120 for that much?
i ruined the 69 likes on this comment

Cosmic Queries used to be my favorite thing about Startalk, but these explainer videos go in depth about topics in a more manageable time commitment
My mind becomes numb whenever scientists start talking about immense numbers. I think I'll get myself a drink.

LOVE HOW HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING WITH SUCH A PASSION AND STILL HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR ! BOTH OF YOU GUYS ARE GREAT 💯💯💯
Yes, but that's no reason to shout at us. #allcaps
Amazing how these guys make learning so fun. Can't get enough of these videos.

Those too
Some of those molecules probably once were your mother.

The size of a football pitch compared to the width of a human hair is roughly the same as the width of a hair to the size of an atom.

Great video once again
Lovely to see u guys u r doing great job love 😍 from Pakistan 🇵🇰. I really like ur content ur amazing niel 😍😍
On form. One of the most inspiring and repeatable talks directing me toward many subjects.
I am just hooked to this channel !
Hydration, the StarTalk artwork at the very beginning is really sweet!
Love these clips/shows..!!!

I've been reading and watching scientific stuff for some time now and hearing this still blew my mind.
12:10 a mistake there, 1 mole of silicon will be 28gms since its atomic number is 14.
I think he got ahead of himself and did not catch the mistake before moving on. lol
Did your brain scream at you too when you heard it? Or was it just mine I heard having a fit? lol
I'm sure this is not to be spoken. LOL that's what the drop of Newton spittle told me.
❤️ All of it. Every concept. Thank you.
I love your dynamic duo 😂 Great video
Great talk guys.
I like this duo an astrophysicist and a comedian, perfect combination!
Thanks Neil, always enjoy your discussions
Chuck is legit having an existential panic attack during the whole bit on water and air molecules being shared by everyone in history lol
we all share everything on the planet that has lived and will ever live.
Best part- " well, all I can say is that somehow youve done it, youve done it neil"....😂😂 my two favorite people ever

I'm into this updated production value.
Your videos are splendid! Thank you for giving me a new perspective to contemplate!
4:33 about the glass was so mind blowing
H-2-_Woah!_
WOW!
I'm going to have to research quantum construction in more detail.
And this episode in general was MIND BLOWING the whole time!
The best show out there.
Love these videos so much
Even if you already know all this stuff, it's still a pleasure to watch
Here you go 🍪
At about 6:50, I think Neil misspoke. He said there are 100 molecules per cup of water. I am sure he meant more like 100-thousand or 100-million.
These guys are great they explain alot of things I've always been thinking about.
It would be interesting to see an animation of how a single breath of air spreads across the whole world. Does that happen in 10 years or does it take 10,000 years, or maybe even longer.
14:05 is that the sound of someone uncorking a bottle of wine?😂
I like explanation for Avogadro number.
To imagine the Avogadro number, just think that it is of the same order of magnitude of the mass (in kg) of Mars. 10^23.
it make head hurt 😞
"Well, all I can say, is that somehow, you've done it Neil. You've done it. You've made it so I am never again going to drink water." 😂😂😂😂😂😂
water molecules get broken down through photosynthesis, the atoms are still the same but the molecules are different.
Molecules are broken into Oxygen and Hydrogen ; have you ever seen someone farts Hydrogen before? :D (just joking)
@@InTheMirrorr just methane CH4 and stuff that smells like it.
The fact that Democritus mentioned atom theory should be spoke upon more in this. Cmon Neil!! Love the show!
Those facts were brilliantly put in a book by Bill Bryson called "A Short History of Nearly Everything".
Great book!! 👍🏻
Love this show
I love this show
You two are the funniest guys on the internet
Hello Neil, can we have a video about frames of reference?
You mean general relativity? lol
Kinda already is one, called "Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains Big Numbers" on this channel.
Always a pleasure listening to you guys. Under the existing laws of physics, how small can something be?
The smallest length possible according to the laws of physics, would be the Planck length which is 10^-35 m. In fact, if you could get any smaller, you'd end up with a black hole and it would take an incredible amount of energy to create a mini black hole, and more energy results in larger volumes.

@@StaticBlaster if we shrunk to the plank length would we see something smaller since we can't see the plank at this size? Like a size horizon.
Best duo in the world
