*"If an atom was the size of an orange, then the orange will be the size of the earth"* makes sense for me
TheYoyoGamer i know 😂
Ik but I'll explain it's basically saying that the size of the earth is the same as an orange if an atom was as big as an orange but the earth will be way bigger than the orange as it is already, it's just replacing and adding where orange (size) = atom earth (size) = orange but if the orange was the size of the earth then the atom would have been a size of the real orange in earth.
Lol wrote too much 😂
Screwedlad Vlogs
Basically, the number of oranges it would take to fill up the entire earth is how many atoms it would take to fill up an orange.
I don't think they meant the same orange. I think it goes like this:
Let's say an atom is the size of an orange. By that logic, an orange, because of such big atoms, would be the size of the whole planet Earth.
Does that makes any sense to you? Helped?
@@screwedladvlogs5951 boy he just helped,no need to be rude...
Can't wait until we get Disney quality animation done with atoms.
I know this might be wild, but Disney quality animation is made with atoms.
In fact, everything is made of atoms my friend.
Sorry to burst your bubble
Ummmmm..........
Some Disney -anime- animation are made with Computer-generated Imagery that formed with some combination of 0 and 1 which called bit and controlled by the electricity that caused by proton and electron correlation.
It does or doesn't? because we only need to move the electron out of atom to another atom in order to create electric charge.
I think some people cant get joke
Yeah... but then you'd be ruining the things that literally make up everything...

As a construction manager, and educated civil engineer of 59, I am blown away by this little movie and the making there of so much so, that I wish I could change careers today!!!
"If an atom was the size of an orange... "
I am still trying to comprehend the sheer smallness of an atom, and I have been no stranger to physics and the independent study thereof.
This analogy helps, but I think the limits of the human mind prevent me from fully grasping the magnitude of just how small the building blocks of this world are.
And yet, you understand physics, and you have humility to admit how difficult it is to understand the magnitude of this. I get really angry when people that can't differentiate the left from the right hand saying that the Earth is flat only because they can't understand.
Sorry if I committed some grammar error, English is not my native language.
They’re a bit wrong though… they say atoms are the smallest particles in the universe… we know this to be fundamentally wrong now!
@@JanoyCresvaZero They are still right about the fact that matter isn't infinitely divisible though!
@@someguy2947
Really we don’t know that. Just like we don’t know if the universe is infinitely big, really you could keep going even smaller and smaller and smaller. For all we know, there is no bottom. Just as we don’t know if there’s a barrier to the end of the universe. It could just go forever.
@@JanoyCresvaZero you’re wrong, elementary particles like electrons, quark or photons are indivisible

Marimba: it's my time to shine
so true
It's incredible about how far we've progressed with technology.

The moment you hear the guy from Action Lab at 3:43, you ain't alone brother!! 🙃
I also thought the same
1:59
The diameter of an orange is typically around 10 centimeters, while the diameter of an atom is on the order of 0.1 nanometers (depending on the specific element and its electronic configuration). To scale up an atom to the size of an orange, we would need to increase its size by a factor of approximately 10^10, or 10 billion.
So, if we assume that an atom that has been scaled up to the size of an orange has a diameter of 10 centimeters (or 0.1 meters), we can calculate the volume of the resulting object using the formula for the volume of a sphere:
V = (4/3) x pi x (r^3)
where V is the volume, pi is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14159), and r is the radius of the sphere.
Using this formula, we can calculate the volume of our scaled-up "atom":
V = (4/3) x pi x (0.05 meters)^3
V = 5.24 x 10^-5 cubic meters
Next, we need to compare this volume to the volume of the Earth, which is approximately 1.083 x 10^12 cubic kilometers (or 1.083 x 10^27 cubic meters). To do this, we can divide the volume of our scaled-up "atom" by the volume of the Earth:
1.083 x 10^27 m^3 / 5.24 x 10^-5 m^3 = 2.07 x 10^31
This calculation suggests that if an atom were the size of an orange, then the resulting object would have a volume roughly 2 x 10^31 times larger than the Earth, which is obviously not the case. Therefore, the statement "if an atom was the size of an orange, then the orange would be the size of the whole planet earth" is not mathematically accurate.
I like this documentary's message. Screw lawyers, everyone should do science!

Great explanation of the process... making a 60-second movie started 40 years ago! Of course it's not about the movie but rather the implications for data storage and computing. This tech is going to cause a huge leap.
I'm as dumb as a bag of potatoes, and don't really understand all of this... But if you guys did a stop motion movie with something so small that you can't see it with own eyes or touch it with your own hands, then you guys are the biggest filmmakers i've ever seen.

Its so weird bc about 3 weeks ago in my chemistry class i had a very similar concept of making a machine that can turn drawings into "molecules" and i tried finding something that did that but thought there wasnt one. Its glad to see that the people who made it/have it are just as cooky as i am
I came here looking for a clear explanation of how that machine works (or can work) after seeing one at my little brothers college during the orientation walk-through. The professor there explained to me how it works and what it's used for so I already understand it and how it works, and this video just showed me a cool demonstration of how this machine is actively operated. Pretty cool, thanks IBM!

CO is a molecule, C is an atom, O is an atom...
Why is this so confusing?
... That's not the point. The point is that the movie is called "Moving Atoms", while it should be called "Moving Molecules"
+Remy Nimja
They are still moving atoms, I dont get your point..
Moving atoms implies that you're moving them individually. And they're not, they're moving Molecules.
(as a sidenote; I'm also "Moving atoms" every time I move...)
+Remy Nimja My Guess is that for constructing the boy they used CO molecules to speed up the process. If they were using molecules for for example the 'ball' it wouldn't show up as a single dot. Only thing that confuses me is that I thought they used STM technology for this movie, but that would be impossible using non-conducting atoms such as C atoms and O atoms.

Hey IBM when you say you are building atoms on a surface. What is the surface made out of? Just trying to get my head around, when you put an Atom on 'Something', then what is the 'Something'?
Rushad Patel Hi, a surface is a simpler way to say "substrate". For example when IBM scientist Don Eigler used 35 individual xenon atoms to spell IBM he used a substrate of chilled crystal of nickel. The choice of material for the substrate is a critical part of the experiment. Graphene is another material which IBM scientists are using as a substrate.
IBM Research Could you also please clarify why moving the atoms makes a noise with each position? I assume it is some function (?) of the instrument rather than the atom itself, seeing as how the atoms are near absolute zero and a movement of such tiny magnitude would not be audible. But these are just my assumptions! I'm really curious
amaze2n It's the sound of the universe being torn apart, little by little
+Rushad Patel This was the first question I had when I saw the image of the boy! How can atoms sit on a "surface" that is made up of anything else but other atoms? How can we tell the foreground atoms from the background atoms?
+IBM Research How is it that we are unable to see the individual atoms which compose the substrate, but we are able to see the individual xenon atoms?
I so wish I was smart enough to comprehend all this stuff and be in these industries. it's just incredible what is being discovered and worked on in the world.
Wait I guess I've been caught out of the loop because I didn't know that microscopes could magnify enough to see atoms or even compounds.

i love IBM for their great scientific achievements, but i have a question, what the background made of? i know quarks, gluons, electrons and neutrinos are smaller than atoms but i guess u can't build surface using those, what could possibly make that background look so clear and soft?
The surface is soon "below" of the atoms captured by the microscope, but still they can see them back, forming a kind of outline. The microscope is made to capture one layer at a time
that makes sense, like depth camera. thanx man!

Avishek Khan A molecule is a group of atoms
Sir Doge yes, and a pixel on a screen is a group of molecules and atoms are a group of quarks and electrons. So we've been watching movies made of subatomic particles all along. Got it.
this is awesome because during the movie you can see the surface atoms moulding around the main ones
3:37 Why does atom moving is so loud ? Is a atom very heavy ?
Absolutely incredible and inspiring!
but how come the surface behind the atoms in the movie looks flat isn't it supposed to be more atoms?
I guess it is not zoomed on enough on the background, or maybe it is just transparent.
