Breaking out a bottle of plum wine here in Japan before settling to bed, and upvoting this by reflex, even before the first minute has passed. Info-tainment doesn't come any better than Prof. Butler's videos ... and is one of the brightest jewels of UA-cam ... and an elegant reminder that intellectual humility and knowledge are two sides of the same elementary particle ... uh ... 'coin'. 😂
Thank you David for your kindness to share knowledge freely. Your presentation is unique in its calmness and organization. I am happy that you returned to your passion after retirement and we benefit from it. God bless you Sir!
I love that you are still working on this. My kids love listening to you, like a science Bob Ross. Great info, amazingly calm and reassuring presentation.
Bob Ross gave you the impression that anyone can paint but Dr Butler shows you the wonder of the universe. He gives such a wonderful presentation rich with graphics, theories, and history that lead me to dreams every time. While I am a trained scientist, I still can't understand half of the topics he covered but I do appreciate that he has made so many video books that I can keep going back and try to understand them before drifting to sleep again.
Thank you Dr. David Butler. It's a shame I came to find about you, only when am an old man already. You're everything we need to become someone' knowledgeable. It's really marvelous to be able hear you. Marvelous.
I love how you approach these subjects - following how they were discovered and making these things seem relatively approachable. It was just some folks playing with cloud chambers...
Brilliant video! I am a total novice when it comes to particle physics. I have been watching videos on particle physics for about 1.5 years now and this video has shored up and answered so many questions I’ve had over that period… I am going straight to the Higgs Boson video right now…. Thank you for this!
i could swear i had allready gave a like to this video, but i be gladly liking this twice. real clear and well explained. top notch mate thanks many times, the whole channel is a real gem. love and greetings bibia
Dear David Butler, Your programs on Physics are wonderfully understandable. I am immersed in your "How small" Programs, and as I stare out the window writing this, my mind is boggled, but at an entirely new Level. Thank you Sir, for your clarity, hard work, and breathtaking scope.
I’ve watched several physics videos on UA-cam. I’ve learned, and actually understood, more from your video than any other hands down. I think the history you include helps immensely. Understanding the details of the experiments is so valuable. I need to go watch the other videos in your channel. Thank you.
David, I truly appreciate your “video books”. It’s quite enjoyable to easily connect all the dots, so to speak, of how all of these particles/fields/forces are created and what their functions are. Your narrative pacing, graphs and illustrations/animations are immensely helpful in visualizing and understanding the nearly unbelievable complexity and beauty of the subatomic and quantum realms. Thank you, David.
Your videos are my favorite videos on UA-cam. I watch them every night. Thank you for making these incredibly interesting and informative presentations.
unbelievable lecture on unbelievable small particle. cant absorpt the entire material or follow quickly enough.. but captivated and awed all the way to the end. a self proclaimed particle enthusiast , now realize in bottomless pit of curiosity. thanks for the effort and keep up the good work. from Hker worldwide.
To expand - cherenkov radiation energy is like a bow wake on a boat and as an example bow wave itself can travel faster than the boat hull speed. The difference is that hull speed of light is C 3×10^8 but in water it is 3C/4. The wake continues outward from the particle path at an angle variable with frequency.
Correct wouldn't have been much of a lecture without him much like the ether it's a non starter that said I am a bit of a plank matrix guy though comparatively similar philosophically
What I appreciate most about these videos is that I can scroll through the comments and they aren’t painful to read. It is a masochistic habit of mine that I have to read the comments, and I describe it in such way because seeing how completely nonsensically the remarks under most UA-cam videos read makes me want to scream, although it is part of the weirdness that is me so I continue to do so. Thank you David for drawing an intelligent enough audience that my personality idiosyncrasy regarding UA-cam videos relents in causing me suffering temporarily.
Dear Sir, thank you very much for sharing this. I have been looking for evidence of these particles, to really learn about them. There are so many science youtubers who talk about science without ever talking about experiments, we get lost. I am very happy to see the photos of events
You can moon on all you want about the Fine Structure Constant, but what I get a kick out of is all those comparisons saying "If the nucleus were the size of a pingpong ball, the electron cloud would be 2.5 kilometers away." That being the case, the fact that you can do experiments in a cloud chamber, and the lines and spirals formed are in a perfect size scale for human perception, is one hell of an 'anthropocentric' quirk. We don't need a cloud chamber the size of an Olympic-size swimming pool, and we don't need an electron microscope to examine cloud chamber trails either. The lines, forms and spirals are right in the middle of a size scale that allowed people to begin refining theories without having to wait to build that cloud chamber or that electron microscope. THAT is a pretty cool thing you'll never find in a theory or a law of nature. Cloud chambers can work at a size scale that allows humans as we know them to easily handle imaging and interpretation. I believe that is WAY cooler than the Fine Structure Constant being some mystical dimensionless number. They're just cool because they ARE. I don't need to know WHY it's 1/137.
David, do u have the slightest inkling that i and all the "dudes and dudettes" who watch ur brilliant "lessons of amazing, awesome, astronomical ablazement!!!" think that u are the coolest- (even in ur shorts!!)-Prof in the UA-cam world of Profs!?! Ur shows are so well put together and u make every concerted effort- (i think)-to make sure ur lessons are easily understood even by Joe Dunce from The Imbeciles Island Chain! The fact that you've made so many of them is testament to ur knowledge of the subject and u endeavour to make us, who are willing to enjoy the ride, just that little bit more learned in the topic of ur life, Astronomy! I hope i havnt come across as a idiot from England, Liverpool to be exact!!
~ 18:29 Cherenkov radiation. [wiki] "Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium."[wiki]. Arg! Another term to learn!! "Phase velocity"!!! I assume that since nothing moves faster than the speed of light, this term "phase velocity" must have a technical meaning that 'puts a finer point' on the concepts brought up here. (Thanx to wikis for being more reliable these days, such that you can pare down some things and build up others, as your particular needs require, so that you can get ... well, smarter, I guess, in the areas you choose to follow up with further!) This is a great video for bringing up photos of cloud chamber effects and teaching some of the concepts behind experimental results. I LOVE videos that flesh out with appropriate examples, and 'dissect' images and explanations both ways, for better all around understanding...
What a mess.... I mean the video is brilliant. But the range of particals is so broad and complicated. Its incredible scientists have been able to discover all these. It really is a messy jungle.
Stevelk, I remember it well. Those were good times. But I can't tell who you are from the picture and name 'Stevelk'. Please, can you refresh my memory. Thanks.
@@howfarawayisit Hi. I was the tech, mostly fixing boards. We went through the Interface "HSRAM" a few times together - you showed me where things were and how to find things when debugging. I was the guy ended up working for Dave H in engineering. "Kleekus".
David has to be up there with the greatest of teachers. He doesn't waste words, his tone, his pauses, his explanation, it's all perfect. He speaks directly to my mind, almost effortlessly it seems. Such a natural.
My eye were awakened l when in my first year chemistry class, the second class.. I was given Geiger Counter... And I turned it on oh what a revelation! It clicked in detection of energy being given of, unseen, unknown by human kind, until the last one hundred years, I realized the Universe was alive and ever changing.
~ 41:30 How NOT to learn particle physics. When you're less than skilled at asking others for solid guidance in something like 'the titles of and the order in which to watch some lectures', you tend to catch things a bit piecemeal until such time as you DO learn how to ask, or, you develop enough of a knowledge base to be able to puzzle such things out on your own, only better, as that base grows. So imagine my surprise when I discovered, only now, that "Gen I" particles do not decay. Fancy that... Cool. Time to start taking notes. Can't help it. Numerous comments on same video because I'm enjoying it quite a bit!!!
And when the world needed him most, he returned.
Marge: there’s a man here who can help you.
Homer: Batman?
Marge: No, he’s a scientist.
Homer: Batman’s a scientist.
You said it
Wtf are you taking about? He’s posted literally 20 videos in the last 6 days.
As the intelligence of human increases , discovered many things from atom to intergalactic galaxies ,it proves the works of hyper intelligent being .
@@marcelinomagalong5881 No it doesn’t!
This is the best explanation I found on UA-cam, great video series

Nice 👍
In school I cared about everything else other than learning, but I can listen and learn from this whenever I have time. It's amazing ❤️
I don’t know if I should be listening while driving given this is the voice that normally gets me to sleep.
Me too. I use these videos to help me to get some sleep 😂

David’s videos makes leaning fun. Please never stop making them.
None of this ever interested me when I was younger. But now I find it extremely fascinating and can’t get enough.
I need this but with the background music being Bluetech - Elementary Particles repeated again and again in low volume. :D (Great video btw )
Dear David Butler,
Your programs on Physics are wonderfully understandable. I am immersed in your "How small" Programs, and as I stare out the window writing this, my mind is boggled, but at an entirely new Level.
Thank you Sir, for your clarity, hard work, and breathtaking scope.
I learn more from his videos than from the hundreds of others I've seen from everyone else. This dude is great explaining things.
Thank you very much for your calm and very detailed explanations for beginners! This is the best video regarding elementary particles on youtube.

Clear and the best demonstration of particle physics!
Seriously David you do GREAT work
This single video made me like 5% smarter. this is crazy I'm going for all you got now David, absolutely extraordinary conteent.

What an absolute awe and joy to watch your lectures. Thank you so much .
You are taking something impossible to understand to something a five year old would understand❤ Thanks alot
This is the best means of teaching this subject matter that I've ever seen. WELL DONE.
It is an another excellent video Mr. Butler. Thank you very much.
Brilliantly done.
I'm amazed that all these particles somehow work together to give us what looks like a stable world.
Absolutely fantastic - great additions to the original one, it's much clearer now.
This is superb and I've watched this so many times!! Thank you for ur hard work, we love u Prof!!!

I can understand elementary particals physics better than i understand why Mr Butler only has 171k subs?!
Thank you for taking the time and energy to put all of this together. I love your presentations!
Thank you so much! Continuing to update and connect us in a most pleasant and understandable format.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Beautifully descriptive and eloquently phrased!
Thank you!!
This content is so original and interesting , it deserves more attention and appreciation , i hope you are doing well Mr Butler
I have ADD and still was able to focus on your talk. Thank you.
Outstanding lecture! Thank you. Great music choices, too!
His voice are so calm...
Finally a comprehensive, concise particle physics video. Everything I wanted to know in one playlist. Thank you so very much, Prof. Butler.
What an amazing video, loved it, learned so much.
Mr. Butler these are some kickass documentaries 👍👍👍
that was great i loved it and i almost learned something. i am going to have to watch this three more times
Thanks David Butler for your return.
Excellent your video. Love it
Greetings from Brazil.
excellent video, thanks for uploading!
What I appreciate most about these videos is that I can scroll through the comments and they aren’t painful to read. It is a masochistic habit of mine that I have to read the comments, and I describe it in such way because seeing how completely nonsensically the remarks under most UA-cam videos read makes me want to scream, although it is part of the weirdness that is me so I continue to do so. Thank you David for drawing an intelligent enough audience that my personality idiosyncrasy regarding UA-cam videos relents in causing me suffering temporarily.
Nice documentary. Now I understand how kaons and pions were discovered
Dear Sir, thank you very much for sharing this. I have been looking for evidence of these particles, to really learn about them. There are so many science youtubers who talk about science without ever talking about experiments, we get lost. I am very happy to see the photos of events
That background music in the beginning was dark. I had some Darth Vader flashbacks.
I have seen this video almost 10 times now and it still amazes me.
I've fallen asleep to this video almost ten times now
Oh wow. I just finished and I need more. That was really good.
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

I so appreciate you!
The explanation segment of the Slack experiment was the first and ONLY time in my entire life quarks made sense.
Utterly brilliant. Thank you.
