Dr Sutter you are a really good teacher. I am useless at maths but I would love to learn under your teaching. All you physicist's are the kindest nicest people who just want to share. I see you in nearly every science show that I watch and I thank you for just being a good guy.
You are MAJORLY underrated! You must do more promotion for yourself.
This channel deserves more subs, Sir your explanation is very fascinating!
I'm utterly addicted to Ask a Spaceman! Love listening to your Podcast driving around & I'm even getting my 14 year old daughter and her girlfriend listening to quantum mechanics! Admittedly they are kind of 'trapped' in the car as I'm driving them around but it's MY car and I will listen to what I want to!!! Funny thing is they are now asking to listen to this!!!
Thank you soooo much Paul! Have a wonderful New Year!!
Dude....I really like the shirt. Seriously. The talk you delivered wasn't terrible either..
In all seriousness, I appreciate your particular brand of communication of physics. Like many others I have only a basic education and am utterly useless in maths, but I find these concepts and ideas endlessly fascinating, interesting, and entertaining, and I'm glad that guys like Sutter have created a new type of carreer out of explaining these things in a way that we mere mortals can grasp. Thank you. And I really do love the shirt.
I couldn't get past the facial hair long enough to even notice his shirt. There's so much going on in that beard/mustache/goatee that even the likes of quantum physics envies its complexity
Super cool. Never even heard of that before.
Question 1: You mentioned that an object orbiting the sun can take on any position, whereas an electrons orbits are quantized. Aren't gravitational orbits quantized at some point? Definitely not at the scales anyone would notice, but if you really really zoomed in, would you find that an object orbiting the sun also could only take certain orbits?
Question 2: Could you do a video on how an experiment to set up a Super-Atom would work? How did they verify that they created one?
Thanks for the video!
Are you asking about Planck length the smallest measurable unit of distance? It's so small that there is practically no way to measure down to that scale.
Orbits are not quantised but planets/moons do interact with each other via gravity and can eventually move into synchronised or resonant orbits, and of course there is no quantum jumps between one location in space and another!
When will Rydberg Polarons be available from the Merch store?
Very good new knowledge for me. Thank you.
Bose-Einstein condensate ... was proposed jointly by the Indian Physicist Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein. The word Bose is not pronounced as Bozee but rather as Bos and the 'o' is pronounced as 'oa' in hoarse.
Paul, your shirt is full of super-atoms. That makes your shirt awesome and a very Polaron fit :)
Very nice and easy to understand explanation. Thanks!
You are the man!The Spacemaaan!

Out of every aspect of physics, i feel Gravity and all the aspects of Electromagnetism play such a crucial aspect of the cosmos and we possibly have much more to learn about these fields of physics? if you really think about it- It's really facinating how so many properties with-in Nature use: ~{"Differences"}~
That "factor" seems to be a key factor in keeping dynamic systems functioning. *{High pressure/low pressure, hot/cold temp, different densities, static electric charges/discharges, electromagnetism north/south poles, different velocity/angular momentum, different amounts of energy/mass/frequency/vibrations. The different layers between different regions such as, land, water, air, edge of atmosphere, space, the different regions in space with different particle density, background radiation, creating bubbles/membrane layers, cloud regions, nebula's/ Galaxy's, Galaxy clusters, less dense voids regions of space compared to dense regions of space. All of these things are basic differences but create a way for the dynamic engine with-in Nature to continue flowing and operating to create and convert energy.} Just Like How a battery 🔋 transfers + charges through a membrane layer to a - charged side. Like how regions of high/low pressure and temperature 🌡️differences create winds. In water or a planets core- add some factors and It creates ocean currents and flow. Then internally in our planet it creates plate tectonics, planetary convection, geothermal activity, magnetic field around our planet, to hold a atmosphere.

I'm curious if there's more to learn about Gravity ~When it comes to our perspective on observing the Massive scale parts of the Cosmos? Like Entire galaxies/nebula's/filaments & any other diversely complex grand scale objects. They definitely have all sorts of behaviors interacting with-in them. I'm sure those factors need to be improved with how we factor them in to get our calculations of this layer of the Cosmos more accurately accounted for (Maybe it's just "we don't fully understand it yet?")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had a thought experiment💭 "What if black holes are like Grand Recycling Machines ♻️ of the Cosmo's♻️" So just like systems with-in nature have a balancing act and abilities to convert and transfer energy. Like a ecosystem that keeps cycling so natural systems can function.. *(it probably has a limit beyond anything we can ever grasp or measure what it could be from our current perspective?) It's like asking someone to describe the outside of a box, if they are in the box, and the edge of the box exists past the limit of the observable distance that light can travel before hitting a boundary point. It would be pretty darn hard to explain what the outside of that box might be like? Ya know? I don't know? I was just thinking how a ecosystem of a forest flourishes due to it's symbiotic relationship with Fungi and mold/lichen, bugs, soil, mycelium, a water source, etc. With the help of the fungi the Forest no longer suffocates itself. The Fungi gets to help breakdown and convert the carbon thats locked away in the forest floor, fallen Tree's, plant matter that's all throughout the soil. On top of that it works together symbiotically with the living plants roots to help them breakdown & absorb nutrients. That plant cant function to that level on its own without the combination relationship of these 2 aspects of nature which keep this ecosystem functioning. This is true in many different ways, in many different types of ecosystems, all throughout nature. A part of me can't help but look at parts of space like that. Like if certain things in nature work here, then maybe there is a new way we have yet to discover and see how they behave. Aspects that could keep systems functioning throughout nature and space. Some things we are limited to what perspective we can perceive and what we can utilize for further observations but we can still use our imaginations. Then fine tune things from there 👍🏼

~{Hypothetical idea}~
What if our universe is 1 half of a sorta ying yang ☯️ universe. 1 side is what we see, the other side is the Anti-universe. Maybe there could be a membrane layer in-between the 2 layers. Which allows for quantum particles to pop in and out of existence and decay from that membrane with the other half. The 2nd half could be our universe but maybe be an anti-universe. Where anti-particles go? Where the anti-matter can create this balancing act with-in the system. (It doesn't mean there is multiple versions of ourselves and all that stuff when people talk about a multiverse. No, not that.) It's just a thought about a possible natural way to balance things out, yet also describe the fluctuations we see in quantum mechanics. I just had a random daydream thought and obviously I hope more professional people's minds end up diving into this sorta possible theoretical physics. I think Neil Turok had a similar theory.

you earned my trust and full attention when you reminded me that you cant over fill a box with "laser". Cheers!
Pretty cool! Is there a practical use of "Super-Atoms"?
Was thinking the same thing, what particular properties does a, "super atom" have?
Super molecules?
Bose (in Bose-Einstein condensate) is pronounced like Rose. Not like Bosy that you are pronouncing like Rosy.
What kind of matter is a black hole made of?
Wouldn’t a neutron star technically be the most super of all atoms?
Interesting!
Cool video
Good shirt
Do such experiments also help reason about things like say degenerate matter in neutron stars?
The Bohr model is easier to draw
Great explanation! One nit: according to Wikipedia & Google translate, the "e" in Bose is not pronounced.
That is correct ….. Bose is pronounced like Bo-Oh-S
"Rude-berry" Polarons
How Super Cool is that!!? {\} ;
Now get polarons to fit inside a buckyball
Yo Dawg, I herd you like atoms...
Thicc atoms
Isn’t it pronounced bowz-Einstein, not bow-zee-Einstein?
Bose? It's pronounced Bose??
I am now in a Bozo state, i am in a Kwazi state.
