How Does Rayleigh Scattering ACTUALLY Work? (The Blue Sky) @ScienceAsylum

The Science Asylum | How Does Rayleigh Scattering ACTUALLY Work? (The Blue Sky) @ScienceAsylum | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 4 hours ago
There are bunch of videos out there explaining why the sky is blue, but let's go a little deeper into the optics. Why does color matter? What's a vibrational resonance? What's actually happening on the subatomic level?

Why Do Things REALLY Fall? (with General Relativity)

Making Black Holes is HARDER than you think!

$Understanding Quantum (Part 1): Double-Slit Experiment Double-slit experiments have been around for over 200 years. Theyve been the standard for drawing the line between wave and particle. Unfortunately, since Feynman used it as a thought experiment on quantum physics in the 1960s, things got weird.

$How Far Away Is The Moon? You might feel like youve got a good grasp on how far away the Moon is, but you probably dont. It looks a lot closer than it actually is. In fact, most things in outer space look closer than they actually are. You might even be overwhelmed by the true vastness and emptiness of space.
