For the first time, the sizes, shapes and structures of nuclei in the quantum realm are visualized using animations and explained in the video.
There is even more to this.
One should note… they’re trying to animate something that isn’t really completely understood. And those MIT physicists contracted an animator without an academic background to visualize this. Which is essentially the tl;dr of the video I’ve linked. The video itself explains some aspects, or better said, some characteristics and analogies which are well agreed upon within the physics community and the current state of knowledge. Future research may push those boundaries even further to achieve a more refined “imaginary” representation.
What do you do when you are bored?
Why do you ask ?
Actually was asking @swh as he seems to be into everything.
Thought I hit the reply on his post. Sorry about that.
Little idea but interested in a lot of things
But back to the question at hand … a open discussion between the physicists of the MIT involved and their competitors arguing about this visualization / animation might be quite entertaining.
But I’m not in the mood to look up if they actually have published any papers in relation to this.
That’s why they are scientists. They probably also argue about which wine goes well with mozarrella
