How Small Is An Atom? Spoiler: Very Small.

Atoms are very weird. Wrapping your head around exactly how weird, is close to impossible – how can you describe something that is SO removed from humans experience? But then again, they kind of make up everything, so let us try anyways.

"How small is an atom?"

*f i l l s r i c e w i t h m o r e r i c e*

[backyard]

honestly the finger and room was by far the hardest comparison to imagine

[dimmler]

is nothing but empty space.."

"Except it isnt"
*vsauce music starts playing*

[AtillaTheFun]

“A single human hair”

*shows a duck*

Me: can we go to Mcdonalds

my german mum: 2:04

[cdvqa]

Ah man it's gonna take me ages to clean all this rice out of my room!

Kurzesagt: "Every atom of an element is the same"








Isotopes: "Am I a joke to you?"

[ToastyFresh]

It’s crazy to me how adding more of the same stuff (Electrons, Protons, neutrons) to more stuff can completely change what they do and how they behave

2:03 - hitler learns about the USSR entering Berlin

[Mars-hdhg]

i’m watching a video about atoms on a bunch of atoms, held by a bunch of atoms, in a blanket full of atoms.

[EnterChannelNameWasTaken]

Kurzgesagt: Atoms are really really really small
The X on mobile adds: *You dare challenge me mortal?*

[fofmock]

You should definitely do a video on the fermi paradox, and all of the guesses as to why it's true

[ashleydynesupatan]

Now I know why Antman was freaking out

[Pnkjprajapati]

"think how small is atom and then how big is universe"

now feel how empty you are

[ther]

4:08 Me who following this channel for about 3 years : This is the least confusing video I ever watched

[humayildirim]

"Ridiculous and unbelievably small"
Just like my will to live

[spideybot]

7 years... How far has KGS' animation come <3

[ToothbrushGuy]

As usual, this was a superb video! However, at the end when you talk about all atoms of an element being identical, I would kinda like to disagree. Hydrogen for instance has 2 isotopes and other elements may also have their own isotopes.

Maybe correct that statement to "all atoms of an element have the same number of protons"
