      I hate to be that guy, but actually, atoms are made of composite particles which are made of elementary particles. You can also go further from there. Based on String Theory, elementary particles are actually made of a vibration of a quantum string. It may not be the real name but it serves our purposes. Even though these strings may not be smaller than the elementary particles themselves, they are still made of strings

    • @oguztanatar2138
      @oguztanatar2138 5 років тому +4

      @Aaryam DevNo worries man! Will research into it. And, my comment was also wrong. string theory states that elementary particles including quarks are made of a vibrations of a string. However, theoretically, quarks are made of preons. And I also get your point of view. String theory requires 10 dimensions and no one has been able to keep the math right and reduce it to our 4. Will reply when I look further into E8

      How anyone can watch a video like this and not believe in a Creator is beyond me. How deeply seated must one's fear reside within one's spirit to compel such stubborn refusal to acknowledge the infinite intelligence necessary to make something like the universe--despite how undeniable, blindingly obvious the truth is. And then they arrogantly deem others as "superstitious" or "weak-minded" for refusing to likewise adopt a similarly wilful blindness to the truth.
      Yeah, we're matter, that's all. Funnily enough, if that were strictly true, then we actually *don't* matter--which explains why this channel loves its Marxism so much.
      I do like the channel, though.

Whether it be an egg or us being particles that will one day be repurposed- it feels a little less scary knowing that even though we die, we still exist in some form.

    • @QUBIQUBED
      @QUBIQUBED 6 місяців тому

      This one's hard. According to the "Big Bang" theory, matter came outta nowhere. The largest possible supernova esque event happened and created matter. My hypothesis is that the universe is one giant, calm, stable star. This "star" grows bigger and bigger, as stars do. At the end of its life, it can no longer grow bigger, and implodes on itself, finally resulting in an explosion (supernova) creating a new universe.
      Immortality is nonexistent, it's all a cycle. Micro organisms couldn't expand their lifespan forever, so they started reproducing. Stars couldn't grow forever, so they released their matter. It's purely speculatory, but it's the hypothesis my pattern recognition driven cerebrum has devised to explain our outlandish reality

    Isn't it fucked up how when we study the universe, we notice this logic in everything, everything happens like it should, these rules mould the development of everything that happens, and in this everything, this is how it turns out to be. This is part of that everything that has happened. This, us here in front of some screen watching a video about the universe, humans doing their stuff, building their stories, petty conflicts over who lost the tv remote, someone getting angry because he missed the bus, someone asking a woman to spend her life with him by giving her a donut-shaped piece of metal particles, people ending each others existence over some piece of matter, two humans falling in love, all this on a wet rock floating through space, held in place around a gigantic glowing sphere by the same forces keeping us bound to this rock. All this, while stuff is happening everywhere simultaneously, volcanic eruptions on Mercury, storms on Jupiter, asteroids slamming into some distant planet, shit maybe even some alien discovering that their planet is not the center of the universe. And here we are reading this. Life is weird

    "The computer you're using to distract yourself from the things you should be doing".. no lie, that statement was creepy AF cause I should be preparing a weekly report at work right now but here I am distracting myself by watching this video 🤣. This video was amazingly brilliant. I have greater understanding now of reality as I thought I knew it. Thanks a lot, @Kurzegesagt

    "The computer you're using right now to distract yourself from the stuff you should be doing." Crap, I got caught. Have a thesis to write about astroparticle physics. Axions and Chameleons, yay! Kurzgesagt should totally do a video about Chameleons...

    • @Vindaar
      @Vindaar 7 років тому +2

      If you're wondering about Chameleons, they're hypothetical particles (an addition to those 17 fields they talked about in the video), which could explain dark energy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chameleon_particle Not really an amazing article for the layman, but hey. If you're interested I can try to explain it in more detail. :)
