Why not instead think of yourself as an atom, bumping up against other atoms, maybe transferring energy with them, bonding with them a little and maybe creating something new on your travels through the social universe.
And now simple atoms appear of hydrogen and helium.
It consisted of huge clouds of hydrogen and helium atoms, and they have no structure.
So where you get slightly denser areas, gravity starts compacting clouds of hydrogen and helium atoms.
In the center of a star, there's so much energy that any atoms that combine will just get busted apart again.
In intergalactic space, there's so little energy that atoms can't combine.
Well, in gases, atoms move past each other so fast that they can't hitch up.
In solids, atoms are stuck together, they can't move.
So at those deep oceanic vents, fantastic chemistry began to happen, and atoms combined in all sorts of exotic combinations.
Four atoms of hydrogen, the four points of the tetrahedron, which means the little carbon atom.
And you have to imagine doing that squeezing without any imperfections, without any little spots where there were a few more atoms than somewhere else.
In Boltzmann's scenario, if you want to make an apple pie, you just wait for the random motion of atoms to make you an apple pie.
That will happen much more frequently than the random motions of atoms making you an apple orchard and some sugar and an oven, and then making you an apple pie.
The only way it worked is when the helium atoms were very, very far apart.
And unfortunately, the helium atoms in liquid helium are right on top of each other.
He would try to figure out what the quantum wave function of this huge number of atoms looked like.
The first one was that when helium atoms touch each other, they repel.
The implication of that is that the wave function has to go to zero, it has to vanish when the helium atoms touch each other.
So let's think about the atoms.
So in one case: all the trillions of atoms that make up that chunk of metal are sitting still and at the same time those same atoms are moving up and down.
Two nanometers is 20 atoms in thickness.
And I wondered, what if the answer to some of our biggest problems could be found in the smallest of places, where the difference between what is valuable and what is worthless is merely the addition or subtraction of a few atoms?
Who knows, maybe one of your atoms was once Napoleon's knee.
Every time I breathe in, I'm breathing in a million-billion-billion atoms of oxygen.
Even though I know the chair is made of atoms and therefore actually in many ways empty space, I find it comfortable.
First you trap atoms in a special bottle.
It uses electromagnetic fields to isolate the atoms from the noise of the environment.
And the atoms themselves are quite violent, but if you fire lasers that are precisely tuned to the right frequency, an atom will briefly absorb those photons and tend to slow down.
Now if you use the right kind of atoms and you get them cold enough, something truly bizarre happens.
The atoms lose their individual identity, and the rules from the quantum world take over, and that's what gives superfluids such spooky properties.
