This video is about the 21 gram experiment performed by Duncan MacDougall in 1901 and the energy 21 grams of matter would render according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation E=mc2. This energy is equal to 1.89 PJ. This video presents 4 parallels with real life of how this energy can be used for practical purposes. One example is how many lightning bolts would carry an energy equivalent to one human soul. Another parallel would be how long would the largest nuclear power plant in the world Kashiwazaki-Kariwa need to function at its full capacity in order to produce an energy equal to one human soul. Another interesting comparison would be for how long the energy of one human soul 1.89 PJ would ensure the electrical energy necessary of the entire world. Finally, in this video, it is calculated how many nuclear weapons such as those used against the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would release the same amount of energy as one human soul. Hope you enjoy!
This series of 3 videos presents three optical phenomena: reflection, refraction and dispersion of light. The first part describes the process of reflection of light, with all its theoretical elements, ray diagrams and applications in daily life, such as mirrors. A definition of mirrors is also given, including a description of all 3 types of mirror: plane, convex and concave and their applications.
This video provides an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of refraction of light and its consequences and applications in daily life.
