What EXACTLY is Temperature?!

You may have heard temperature is just the kinetic energy of molecules, but that's a subtle lie. In this video, Nick Lucid explains those subtlies in the only way he knows how: CRAZY!

- or I made them myself...

Don't understand why these videos aren't more popular. Bloody good job.

[jhyland]

What I find funny is when I try to learn new concepts, I teach them to myself in my head, even asking questions and replying. These conversations are remarkably similar to that of you and your clone dude.. lol

[sagarsharma-qfhs]

Americans and the metric system don't go along...do they??

[spiralect]

People who not only KNOW a lot about a topic but also share what they know in an amazing understanding

UR DOING AMAZING!

That's a good explanation of the practical meaning of temperature, but more generally the concept can be applied to any system with a Boltzmann distribution of energy, regardless of whether it is made up of "matter", and it can also be generalized into several kinds of "temperature" in the quantum case, e.g. based on the partial derivative of the energy with respect to entropy.

Dude you are awesome. I am a Mech. ENG on to study medicine thanks for helping me REMEMBER complex STUFF!

[samaiatraforti]

I love Nick so much. Seeing his face makes me happy:) Spread the science fun yiew!!! Thankyou for sharing your gifts!

[FlatzoidsPerspective]

Love your videos man subbed! Would love to see you explain entropy hehe and that’s a joke because you just did lol

[TemploV]

you are the best in explaining everything, love it

[jakehayes]

wicked awesome you are great! you don't duck the Q's by asking but what exactly is it??? and make me chuckle as well..

[ViolentaShadow]

Cool video!

I mean: I like the temperature of my videos to be on the cooler side.

[wassupyo]

Best explanation of temperature I’ve seen so far

[ManuTheGreat]

Nice to see that you used Richard Feynman's temperature analogy with the damp towels.

[pug]

Get this guy more subscribers already!!

[tinypapitooo]

im just watching this for my test so this is so helpfull thx for doing these vids

[potawatomi]

Love this video and have seen it multiple times.

[TJF]

I was going to quote The Venture Brothers, but it looks like the Eldorado Canyon Mine Tour also attests to "a cool comfortable 70 degrees".

[Altorin]

A lot of human perception of temperature is also based on conductivity. Things that are more conductive feel colder to us because hear escapes into and out of it faster.

It gives us a weird relationship with temperature because the actual number on the thermometer is just a small part of what goes into our perception of temperature.

[ashutoshbhakuni]

Could you pls do a supplementary video on why temperature doesnt change during melting and boiling? And what exactly is potential energy of molecules?

[philipberthiaume]

Subscribed, thanks for video. One thing I always fail to understand is why ppl of science would use non metric measures. Imperial or US standard is so unhelpful when converting across vitually everything. My perfect temperature is 20°C. I am perfectly aware of it's relationship to freezing, boiling, my ideal body temp and the swimming pool next door. I also can easily translate to weight or volume if needed, all without having to use a calculator.
