    Corrections:
    2:15 I said Orthoclase feldspar, and meant plagioclase feldspar.
    2:50 Quartz is not the most common mineral, silica tetrahedrons are the most common molecules. Plagioclase feldspar, a silicate mineral, is the most common mineral.
    5:30 1 cm = 10 mm, not nanometers, just misspoke.
    12:32 an angstrom is 0.1 nm not 0.01 nm, scale is correct just misspoke.

      I think you're incorrect about the claim you make around 14:55 that a hexagonal unit rotates as it tiles to fill space. Hexagonal unit cells fill all space purely by translation, just as every other unit cell does. This translation creates the "honeycomb" symmetry on its own, without needing any sort of rotation. This is easier to see if you're looking at the atoms that are actually in the unit cell, rather than Minecraft glass blocks that have been squished and stretched.
      Great video though, I really enjoy your geology content!

      I actually did look into that. the whole "nm" process for chips doesn't actually equate to size, its more of a generation number. I did find some actual number for scale but then the physical shape wasn't clear so I ended up not doing it. If i do an actual episode on scale I'll add it.

      ​@@n45a_To be fair, even in older pdks the process length only really indicated the minimum width of the transistor. The length is basically required to be 3x that size, and you are able to increase the width as well. The length naming is basically an anachronism from a time where the challenges in the field were much more relevant to just plain size reduction.

    • @adventurefighter7501

    5:56 CRT displays don't really have "pixels" in the traditional sense, so saying that the resolution is 640x480 would be inaccurate. The image is formed by having a continuously scanning beam scroll horizontally across the screen, and divided into 525 rows or "scanlines". Seeing as the lines scanned are continuous, they do not have a horizontal resolution (not to say they can have infinite detail, the beam is only so fine, and the beams can only react to a changing signal amplitude so fast, we call this limited horizontal """resolution""" the dot pitch). Not all of these lines would contain picture information, and even fewer of them were intended to be seen due to overscan. This is because not all TVs were configured all too precisely, meaning the image might be a bit larger, smaller, higher, or lower, and people didn't like the idea of potentially having black bars near the edges of the screen. The number 480 for vertical resolution came about because it was a good estimate of how many lines were visible by most displays. We call this "Standard Definition". The horizontal resolution of 640 likely came about because of video digitisation. People like the pixels of digital video files to be perfectly square (although they don't necessarily have to be) so that the image doesn't need to be asymmetrically scaled in order to be seen correctly. Since standard definition was given a vertical resolution of 480, and TVs were made to be an aspect ratio of 4:3, it's easy to derive a horizontal resolution: 480*(4/3)=640. What you see when you look at a colour CRT may look like pixels, as there are red, green, and blue stripes (or dots) in a regular pattern, but this would be incorrect. These are a result of a metal sheet with holes in it called the shadowmask, which is responsible for blocking the three electron beams from certain angles so that each one hits the correctly coloured phosphors. It does not directly translate to image quality.

    I think about it like this: crystals are made up of minerals and minerals are crystals, like how atoms are made up of elements and elements are atoms. And the difference between rock and crystals is that crystals are pure(or mostly pure) minerals, while rocks are a mesh of a bunch of tiny crystals, like a mixture is a bunch of compounds.

      if crystals are made of minerals and minerals are made of crystals then technically no matter how deep you go you'll never find atoms

    I'm only halfway through and this is already one of the coolest science-related videos I've ever seen. It is positively brilliant to use Minecraft in this way to teach a topic like this. Just genius. I genuinely have no clue how you managed to make the Little Room. I can only guess that it's visual tricks and the cuts are hiding some swaps between alternate rooms but... I dunno, maybe not! So cool!
    Edit: Okay I got to the end and you said this is a REAL WORLD that we can experience??? This is wild.

    I have never learned about geology in-depth, I really really love the oceans, and took an Oceanography class this high school year. I think I would be really confused and a little disappointed (I'm more of a marine biology type of person), but your videos have really helped with my understanding of geology, and has helped me really enjoy the class. Your videos are really good, I hope you keep it up.

    I never thought rocks were that cool, just obsidian and the sugar crystal science experiments we did in school.
    Now I know that rocks are much more complex, having what could be a whole museum of minerals (if you were small enough to enjoy them)!
    Thank you Gneiss for awakening a new understanding of the world around us!

    I've watched so so many videos that talk about the elctromagnetic wave lenth scale but this is the first one I've seen that clearly, directly explain that things smaller than the visable light spectrum can't been seen optically because of that.

    The quality of these videos always blows me away given they're hobby videos made in Minecraft of all things. But it's honestly a super great engine for it that seems to be able to suit your needs well, and keeps people engaged because who doesn't love Minecraft?

    I'm a ceramist, and I have a wood firing kiln that fire up to 1300° celsius, I use a lot of feldspar, lime, kaolin,... and oxyde to create glaze that melt correctly. I really enjoy this video. by watching it I want to study a lot more geology cause I feel it could be really useful to find new glaze by a better knowledge of rock formation around my workshop. thanks ! and good job for the editing.
