Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Many of the inanimate objects around you probably seem perfectly still. But look deep into the atomic structure of any of them, and youll see a world in constant flux with stretching, contracting, springing, jittering, drifting atoms everywhere. Ran Tivony describes how and why molecular movement occurs and investigates if it might ever stop. Lesson by Ran Tivony

I have a question, say you had a numerical ticker, that goes up 300, 000 ticks per second. It's just that the ticks are numbers it's like a digital clock that goes the speed of light. now if the numbers were changing ( increasing 300, 000 digits per second ) would you be able to see the the numbers or would it just be, depending on the color of the numbers, a red blur or would you not see anything because light photons would never reach you because they're changing (digitally) faster then light.

First thought is what happens at the quantum level when observation happens. When does movement stop within the quantum realm? Am i misinterpreting how the quantum realm works? Was that the answer at the end?
reply

rotation of linear molecules along their axis is not possible or counted I thought because that no torque or force can be exerted this way. not because that the position of atoms do not change!

I thought this video was about still objects crossing a distance if left alone for a very long time. Like a vase on a table falling off after a thousand years.
reply

The zero energy is not equal to 0, not because the vibrate kinetic, but the potential energy.
So, it's possible that the atoms stop vibrating at 0K.

at the end of this video. say the absolute zero temperature, why is the molecule still moving? . I do not understand the author of this article
reply

gotta keep up with the news TED, gas can apparently reach temperature below absolute zero. which, I suppose, makes it no longer absolute
reply

This video reminded me the concepts, I was taught in thermodynamics, and rotational and vibrational spectroscopy in quantum mechanics.
