Rumman47 Well, the joke is that instead of doing anything to do research they spent it to make a movie out of atoms. But it could still be considered as a joke this way.
@@BigLebowski2000 I mean, subatomic particles have been known for a while now, electrons were discovered at the end of the 19th century. Quarks are even smaller and have been first observed about 50 years ago now.
@@eckoreckofantasy go to most highschools around the world, and you will see that science isn’t taught as an interesting and enthusiastic topic, but more like a “rigorous” highly theoretical field
@@eckoreckofantasy I'm not saying the concept is, just that, in the sense of the joke I tried to convey, "boring" was the most effective adjective to use. And besides, don't tell me you cheered loudly when they taught ya about the cell parts in school.

I smell a "I smell a wooosh coming" coming I'm so sorry. I've ruined this comment completely, it could have had a great reply section. Reddit cringe and so are r/woosh "jokes."

@@nigonkee4639 So do I. It's usually when I've been psychopharmacologically influenced. But you're right, when they can manipulate the electron cloud's probability function to give us a high-res movie, I probably won't go "Meh".
that isnt a detail and it isnt subtle, its extremely loud and attention grabbing. it is the only lifelike thing about this animation. this is just an ad for ibm, of course anything involving authentic artistry for it was phoned in. (except for the perfectly rendered IBM logo of course)
Spoiler: the things that you're seeing aren't atoms at all, they're molecules. Carbon monoxide molecules to be exact, so they're 2 atoms stacked atop each other. And this isn't a movie, but more like a cartoon (many pictures in a row), which is how the camera is so steady. I'm interested to know more about the ripples around the molecules.
Those ripples are the electrons of the copper atoms the movie was animated on. "Filming" was only possible at extremely low temperatures, at which point the electrons of the copper behave more like a fluid.
Um i think it wuld be realy hard to keep it steady with his hand, just breathing on the camera or maybe even walking around near it would've ruined the whole thing? maybe even with a tripod! Do you know how small atoms are? Like, smaller than your piNkY. Silly billy EDIT: I'm just gonna say, if you try to whoosh me again, that whoosh is just boomeranging right back to you.
Sequel movie like: boy 1: why are you crying boy2: I lost my atom boy 1 :don't worry I'm gonna give you half of my atom *Breaks atom* *Explosion!!* *The end*
Hate to be that guy but there's a a lot of misinformation about how Nuclear weapons work. It's not actually the splitting of an atom that creates all that energy, it's the splitting of an atom that causes the pieces of the atom to fly out and split more atoms around it, creating a chain reaction of splitting in a very small compressed space of a specific kind of atom (like I believe Nitrogen or hydrogen) building the pressure and energy to the point of a huge explosion, and it's the exact same way power plants generate energy as well, except in a much more controlled and smaller scale manner.
This movie was filmed with a scanning tunneling microscope, which can capture atoms at a depth resolution of 0.01 nanometers--less than a tenth of the size of a single oxygen atom--which is why atoms in the background aren't captured. Each atom is part of a carbon monoxide molecule, but only the oxygen part shows up on film. The molecules were moved around on a copper plate using a copper needle. 65 molecules were used, and in total there are over 240 frames. It was filmed by a four-person research team and took them two weeks working 18-hour days. There was no danger of accidentally splitting an atom, but if they had, no one would have been hurt. Splitting an atom doesn't release much energy unless you cause a chain reaction. I got all this from reading the Wikipedia page, which you should definitely check out if you want to learn more.
@Jason Oelofse Because they're soulless cash grabs that ruin everything that make the originals so special, and removing the beautiful art and animation for shitty CGI.
"Hey." "Yeah?" "I'm bored." "Me too." "Wanna blow something up?" "Nah." "Wanna rewrite the theory of relativity?" "Not really." "Wanna make a movie?" "...Sure."
Wrap your mind around this, most people accept things as presented. No one knows what this really is but we just accept the master sorcerer's at the word forgetting you cast spells and also spelling is the creation of words. Hey Illuminati ai have I impressed you enough to be given a job
