Is radiation dangerous? - Matt Anticole 

Yet some people freak out when they see a microwave or a cellphone "because the invisible ray-thingies give you cancer". _...there goes all the things she studied and all the points she proved..._

Word 💯 straight facts my guy❤️

i understand the knife still i fear it. rip to the women much smarter than me!

nope

True

+karbengo It's a beautiful quote but it looses a bit of it charm when you know that Maria Skłodowska died because of bone narrow disease caused by her research.

+GODsaveTHEcat Which a little fear of her research material could have prevented

+Simen Johansen That's a sad irony

Simen Johansen There is a good lesson here. Radioactive isotope boom was partially caused by Maria Skłodowska. After her discovery of fantastic new world of radiation they put radioactive isotopes in drugs, cosmetics, watches (famous radium girls) and even toys. We have a rich history of such mistakes like massive usage of asbestos, lead in fuel, DDT, freon gas(not hazardous for humans, but destroys ozone layer). Maybe in fact we should be more afraid, who knows what is the Great Filter in Fermi Paradox :-)

+GODsaveTHEcat Isn't that what she mean? I mean, she sacrifice trying to understand something so we can know the danger?

yeah :D

Remote radiation location sounds catchy.

Preston: sir theres another settlment that needs our help, i'll mark it on your map

Unfortunately my mom is one of those people. She won't listen me explaining how radiation works or what it is

What if the microwave is leaking radiation really bad? Please reply

Nate Braun it'd still be microwaves which are much too weak to be ionizing.

Nate Braun like the guy in the video said: the wavelength corresponds with the amount of energy the electromagnetic radiation has. The wavelength for microwaves are similar to radio so it doesn't have enough kinetic energy to knock electrons out of the atoms orbit. (That's what's 'dangerous' about radiation). Visible light has a shorter wavelength (more energy) and still isn't capable of doing that. Your microwave will not be able to give you cancer.

Those people probably don't even wear sunscreen.

Chernobyl, i see...

400 x rays

How do we compare roentgen with Sievert

@@kaibaing4288 1 Sievert = 100 rem (Roetgen equivalent man)

haha funny (sarcasm) There are billions of such comments under every video about radiation now. Stop it.

Hi +Sahil Rizvi , thanks for the question! Each lesson typically takes 3-5 months to produce. That breaks down to about 1 or 2 months of preproduction and 2-3 months of production. Preproduction is when we're researching, revising, and fact-checking the script with an educator, and production involves working with an animation studio and creating all of the production elements (recording the voice over, designing the look and feel of the piece, animating, and composing music and sound effects). In this case, Matt Anticole submitted his first draft of the script at the end of September, 2015. Between Matt and our team, the script went through 10 revisions and locked in mid-November-- at which point we recorded the narration with Addison. Tinmouse Animation Studios started work on it a week or so later. They created 6 separate drafts of the animation (we call each a Work In Progress or WIP)-- which is a little more than usual (this turned out to be a tricky subject to animate, and Tinmouse did a fantastic job!). The animation was completed in February 2016.

+TED-Ed Wow thank you for doing so much work! Your videos are always interesting!! :D

cool

+TED-Ed you guys rock! thanks for the effort!

Can anyone be here before it?

Sameeeeee 🥳

Where is it?

@@VictorMarwood Spock dying from acute radiation exposure.

Real life has tons of different contributing factors, nuances, and complexities

What is the smallest Planet in out solar system? You can't answer that with "it depends..." I guess I just proved you wrong.

@@gettingshotsomeonesgonnapa8635 Yes, you can. It all starts with what you consider to be a planet. For a long time the answer was Pluto, but if a planet needs to be able to clear its own gravitational field, it no longer is.

@@kamcorder3585 oh.

@@kamcorder3585 okay then, I think this time I'll prove him wrong: what is the smallest planet in our solar system CURRENTLY?

That was her message, at least how I take it. She didn't fear dying of radiation poisoning, she considered it was important for her to do what she did so that humanity understands more, and fears less in the future.

You only yolo once

If it weren't her fearlessness, we are still in fear.

yeah, well, you have to take her advice and UNDERSTAND WHY she died, ie. she did not look at a piece of radioactive material and drop dead.

She fears it less. But the fact she never understood it in the same level as we have now, she couldn’t have minimized the radioactive poisoning. Had she, she would’ve taken far more protective actions

HOW IS THAT IRONIC

+ProGangstaShit she was learning to not to be afraid of ... they were trying to understand the effects and they didnt know it was radiating by it standing.

+KEMAL C. I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I was told she did something else

+ProGangstaShit Her office chair and even the door knob in her lab is still very radioactive.

KEMAL C. yes i know :))

It is simplistic, cartoonish, which is kinda what it now takes, to get most folks to even pay attention. But, it’s also a very clever tactic used, to slip-in some misinformation that helps industry’s profits. (@ about 3:02, he says cellphones & microwaves don’t radiate ionizing radiation…& it SOUNDS like he means, no radiations. But, both do emit, & can harm) Beware of info videos like this. They are purposefully designed to sway public opinion & to groom public “understanding” of science. Just enough truths to carry a few lies, & profit margins escalate, as overall health of population, goes down.

​@@Chimonger1Jesus man... This videos are free... They need to reck up some moneys in other ways...

Umm actually, it's the vault boy.

+The Flaming Sword I was gonna comment that! And its Vault boy, not fallout boy

I always see this bleach guy, im not even subscribee to him.

When it's a video about radiation, it's a video with Fallout references.

oh! DON'T STOP!

this was so cool thanks for the extra info!

+Bojan Zigic I liked that quote as well, even with the sad irony (a little healthy fear of ionizing radiation would have been good for Madame Curie)

Patroling the wasteland makes you wish nuclear winter was here

Oh I don’t know maybe ask the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

GHOULS!!FERAL GHOULD

this is true because fallout boy appears in 3:28

+Milky Cowish They also missed an end punctuation and typed out "form" instead of "from" like they meant. Are we going to cry about every little bit that isn't 100% correct? You get the idea.

phung tran still misleading

JakeTheDoge acute not a cute lmao

Lady.Whatever I said that

You think Im on RU-vid 24/7 (tru) reading ppls comments? (false) lmao

hahahahaahhahahahahahahahahah

Haha you beat me to it! Yes, quoting Madame Curie in the context of not fearing radiation is quite amusing. Their next video is all about how going to the theater makes you more cultured, with some lovely quotes from Abraham Lincoln. (Too soon?)

+Michael Pace Point given. Well played. Damn, but you are good!

I love how they referenced fallout in a video about radiation

while gaining so much knowledge about radiations... think together as species, not as individuals

+Funk Iou She didn't knew about its dangers though. If she had she probably would have used some kind of protection like a leaded blanket while handling radioactive isotopes, or wouldn't have carried radioactive isotopes in her pockets. Smart people know how to discover new things without endangering themselves. I believe she would find a way of doing her research without endangering herself or her husban if she knew.

+Saad Mohd Someone's been watching Interstellar

Lol. Poor people. Don't have sense of humor.

Rodrigo Appendino I chuckled

+Lalit Kumar exactly!, nor for the wolverine

Primo

+Zarah O. they would probably be able to balance it out like with the spartans saying "well y'know they left weaker children on mountainsides and starved their children intentionally but they also taught some kids to read good!" with cancer it would be "oh it affects 1 in 3 people during their lifetime and it kills lots of people but what if it wasn't possible for cells to genetically mutate into cancer cells? What about HeLa and look at all the weird mutated genomes that would but shouldn't survive." Something like dat :)

+Zarah O. - Surprisingly, the answer isn't Just a Yes (or No). All through your life, you create cancerous cells, ie. cells that have gone rogue due to genetic mutations. But your immune system is constantly on the lookout for such cells, and keeps them at suppressed. Cancerous cells aren't all bad though. You have probaby heard of _"benign tumors"_. Sometimes, these tumors have indeed formed due to a genetic malfunction, which, by definition, is cancer. These tumors aren't necessarily bad though. In most cases they are completely harmless, and result in few to no adverse effects.

+Zarah O. and Walter White

His name is actually vault boy

+naphackDT She practically gave her life so that we could know and understand nuclear radiation so...Idk. It was probably worth it to her.

also he's from the fallout series not just fallout shelter

It's vault boy from fallout/ the fallout series Dumbass

Don't mean to sound like a dick but it's actually vault boy

Ironically, Gamma radiation does not make a person turn into a Hulk.
