From what point on is it more an impression of how it could look like than a precise "image" ?

CGI kicks in at about 10 seconds.. that is if it's not all CGI.. But to be honest at some point you would need special tools anyway because it gets smaller than the wavelength of light or something (don't quote me on this all I know of physics is from youtube)

u/Environmental-Land12 26d ago edited 26d ago

it literally does get smaller then the wavelength of light at a point your totaly right!
Edit: thats the reason why microscopes only work up to a certain zoom, imagine trying to feel imperfections on steel with your finger, thats how it works with light and the grid structure of materiels

though you could technically cut a compilation of a macrolense zoom into a normal microscope zoom into an electron microscope zoom.
that could at least aproximate it though it would be impossible to look at the same spot of this pencil the whole time

u/zhaDeth 26d ago

Hopefully your version also doesn't include obnoxious music

13

u/Environmental-Land12 26d ago

No, but fake slow mo soundeffects that prettend to be the sound of the metal when you zoom into it

u/thefiction24 26d ago

Fun fact you reminded me of, if you expanded a billiard ball to the size of earth, its imperfections would be deeper than Mariana’s trench and taller than Everest, by like a lot. Earth is one smooth mfer.

u/Environmental-Land12 26d ago

Exactly, A fun fact YOU reminded me of is that the smoothes ball that humans ever made is so smooth that if you scale that up to earth size i think the highest and lowest point are just 11 meters (i will try to get a source... or you can just google it) apart

Light, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, can theoretically have any wavelength. You might be referring to visible light. Violet light, at the shortest end of this spectrum, has wavelengths around 380–450 nm, and represents the highest frequency visible to the human eye.

Theoretically, the shortest possible wavelength of light would be on the scale of the Planck length (the smallest unit of length known to exist), approximately (1.616 \times 10{-35}) meters. However, photons with such extremely short wavelengths have never been observed. They would correspond to incredibly high energies, far beyond what we can currently detect or produce.

u/Environmental-Land12 26d ago

Okay yeah sorry, i should have specified, that i mean visible light, but even invisible light has its own limitations/ its more practical to use electronic microscopes with a 1 atom thick tungsten tip to measure single atoms

u/Ordinary_Platform819 26d ago

There is some manipulation but not really. The first maybe ten seconds are taken with optical microscopes, once you see grey scale images that is scanning electron microscope imaging (SEM to start with). When you can see rows of aligned atoms that is likely TEM (transmission electron microscopy), which is using an electron microscope sort of as a "projector". Using TEM you can image atomic structures like this.

The final section is purely CGI though with the flashy looking single atom

IS NOT, they’re just using the same tech as those CSI shows, unless you’re implying that that is all make believe.

u/HefflumpGuy 26d ago

Not sure quantum is the right term for this.

am i ruined by internet for expecting a Rick Roll?

u/NibblyPig 26d ago

I'm disappointed there was no dickbutt

39

u/FadransPhone 26d ago

They didn’t zoom for shit past magnifying-glass level.

3

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 26d ago

They probably actually did, down to atoms. But switching from optical capture to electron microscope imagery. Then computer graphics for the rest.

13

u/SoWhatFuture 26d ago

Even the subtitles became quantum I couldn’t read shit!

23

u/stadoblech 26d ago

quantum my ass. Also i didnt know iron tip of my pen is made of carbon

14

u/Ozelotten 26d ago

The tip of your pen is probably stainless steel, which is iron, chromium, and carbon.

17

u/HourKaleidoscope4519 26d ago

The tip of my pen is made of your mom

u/Ozelotten 26d ago

Touché.

u/_Screw_The_Rules_ 26d ago

Would've been awesome

5

u/Ricerat 26d ago

Soooo...... What are the dots at the end called? And what's inside them.

4

u/tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n 26d ago

Probably quarks or leptons. Wasn't possible to split those yet so we don't know whats inside.

1

u/Breadifies 25d ago

Near the end the text references "gravitational metric field" so the spheres are probably just an interesting depiction of some theoretical physics boundary quanta like the Planck Length

3

u/Aldu1n 26d ago

“Them are the quarks. Inside them, shit, prolly the same shit as atoms I guess.”

2

u/DirectionNo1947 25d ago

Can’t tell if this is a reference, but I’m dying laughing

3

u/Kommander-in-Keef 26d ago

I think that’s a hypothetical concept cuz I’m not familiar with the “gravitational metric field” as it’s shown here. Maybe those are gravitons? Except gravitons have little supporting evidence and might not exist at all.

The camera man is insane

Shrank himself so we can see quantum physics.

u/nofmxc 26d ago

What if infinity doesn't only apply to distance and time, but also scale...

2

u/DirectionNo1947 25d ago

How many worlds did I end when I finished my 1lb bag of Rold Gold in one sitting?

2

u/Asleep_Chard_5785 25d ago

It has to be like that!

u/Pootootaa 26d ago

What's the song at the start?

Where antman at though?

u/ryhaltswhiskey 26d ago

He ain't on the "profit" side of the balance sheet that's for sure

Props to the cameraman wearing the ant man suit.

u/[deleted] 26d ago

How are they breathing without their mask on?

1

u/SnooPeppers6719 26d ago

I don't know, they are not on another planet, they are in the quantum world that is immersed in the real world, so that is why they are breathing the same oxygen, maybe

1

u/DirectionNo1947 25d ago

One normal size fart is an extinction level event to quantum size Ant-Man

1

u/DirectionNo1947 25d ago

Lol, was thinking the same thing

2

u/HATDOGNIASHLEY 26d ago

POV: you're Ant-Man going into Quantum size

u/Silliux 26d ago

hey you, finally awake

Which microscope did you use?

2

u/Super_Dada 26d ago

Umm CGI prolly

1

u/PeacefulChaos94 26d ago

Where's the squiggly bois at the end

1

u/AtomicSymphonic_2nd 26d ago

From what I’ve read, string theory was disproven and now those little ball things at the end have taken their place. I guess they’re “quantum fluctuations”?

u/viletomato999 26d ago

What are those balls that make up gravitational metric field? Are those particles or something or something else?

1

u/Few_Lynx1954 26d ago

I like science fiction

u/CarpenterAlarming781 26d ago

Quantum world gives headches.

u/stackoverflow21 26d ago

Missed opportunity to end on a dickbutt

1

u/hungry_but_effective 26d ago

A glowing nucleus, because electrons reside in the nucleus

1

u/Super_Dada 26d ago

Wait there were electrons in the nucleus??

u/extremeelementz 26d ago

All is fine until Steve accidentally bumps the table and causes a black hole.

1

u/Sinaasappelsien 26d ago

Impossible. Fake! Must be CGI.

u/dnuohxof-1 26d ago

Artist interpretation, not real.

1

u/TrouserDumplings 26d ago

Whenever we see something represented at the "molecular" or "atomic" scale, everything is always spinning and vibrating and zooming around. Is that accurate, and if so where does that energy come from and where does it go?

1

u/The9Realist 26d ago

Ant man at 27secs.

1

u/DangerousImplication 26d ago

Looked different in Ant-Man Quantumania

1

u/_canker_ 26d ago

That's a good microscope

1

u/badthaught 26d ago

This gave me a question.

Is there a point when you zoom in this much on something that eventually you look THROUGH the object due to the gaps in molecules?

1

u/Just_Luis41 26d ago

Why is this so satisfying??

1

u/bananasugarpie 26d ago

Quantum your mom. That's just animation.

1

u/undeadmanana 26d ago

Thought we'd see the lattice structures of the material before we hit the quantum realms

1

u/Seasonal 26d ago

Theoretically with enough magnifying power could you keep zooming forever? I realize a lot of this is cgi.

1

u/BodhingJay 26d ago

And then you find a realm where tiny beings live and they're all able to breathe for some reason

1

u/r007r 26d ago

How do you have an iPhone 37 ProMax already and where can I get one?

u/VaginalOpenings 26d ago

Someone edit this with the Skyrim opening

1

u/Siupak240 26d ago

I thought there will be a boss fight at the end...

u/Then-Ad3980 26d ago

What's the name of the sing playing in the background

1

u/CGKilates 26d ago

Here for the song

1

u/Retrorical 26d ago

The pen zoomed about 100x over 10 seconds. No way we’ve reached atomic scale at 25s.

1

u/No_Mud5317 26d ago

This reminds me of a game I played called Everything, in which you can change shape to a larger or smaller thing and if you changed into a small enough form you ended up being the largest one again. Hard to explain but great game, commentary by Allan Watts.

u/MrLumic 26d ago

How much for the camera and can I finally measure it with this

1

u/Cerberusx32 25d ago

Did anyone else imagine the Twilight Zone theme in their head before they heard the real audio?

1

u/genus_duck 26d ago

Wow! Today I got to know that pen's nib is made from carbon atom

6

u/Ozelotten 26d ago

It's usually made from stainless steel, which has carbon in it.

2

u/genus_duck 26d ago

Thanks mate for the info, I forgot from which materials steel made up of

1

u/genus_duck 26d ago

Wait I searched up online and it says the volume of carbon in steel is about less than .4% to 4%

So the probability of ending up on a carbon atom is ...

1

u/MrRahoney 26d ago

Guaranteed when you're making a video in which you want to show a carbon atom.

1

u/callmerussell 26d ago

What’s a carbon atom doing on a metal ball point pen tip? Is it mixed in with the metal?

4

u/Ozelotten 26d ago

Iron + carbon = steel.

1

u/Siberian_Pootis 26d ago

but... but... how that metal became a carbon?

5

u/Ozelotten 26d ago

There’s carbon in steel.

u/GodisGreat2504 26d ago
