Matt already has an asteroid, he doesn't need a 2D element! now if we can hypothesize πD elements, however..

2:07 Periodic Table Lite (for low end devices)

Make a 5D one coward
@HannahLemurson Says:
Oh my god, I remember wondering EXACTLY THIS when I took Intro to Quantum Physics in college!
@lightknightgames Says:
Oh, I thought you'd go into the depths on some of their properties.
@apurvasoni4065 Says:
👍
@kingduck3192 Says:
Anyone else have a feeling of dread and wanting to run when the nova logo appeared?
@yahqwer2997 Says:
Can anyone explain more why do we move from 1/r2 to 1/r? Because if we somehow squished the nucleus and the electron between two planes to simulate a 2D universe, wouldn't they still just follow the inverse square law just without an extra dimensions to move through?
@win-nt-4.0 Says:
why did you label helium as Be at 2:15
@ktgeofficial Says:
678
@spacefun101 Says:
Oh wow I was just thinking about this and did the math yesterday and got a similar table. Crazy to get this recommended today, although I had apparently watched it at some point.
@Pablo360able Says:
In analogy with reverse mathematics, I think that the study of 2d atomic and chemical theory should be considered a branch of reverse physics.
@fourthsharp Says:
Nice video. Black holes crush 3D to make 2D and 1D. The video begs for a new discipline, let's call DTAC (Dimensional Converting Atomic Chemistry), wherein lies answers for making wormholes and the chariots we’ll ride for time travel. Black holes are proof.

119 and 120: We sneaked down here
@wurttmapper2200 Says:
Amazing work! Never thought of that. I know planet orbits wouldn't work in 2D though
@FriskMeemur Says:
I actually do wonder how one would write in a 2D universe? If cell phones existed would they have to be really big so you could fit enough text on the screen or would you just be able to see smaller things so it wouldn't matter?
@hydrogen5087 Says:
Best video of this channel !!
@nikuspikus1139 Says:
4D priotic table NOW
@BenPilcher-l9t Says:
The little jokes in the animation are the best part.
@meloc2001 Says:
Always amazing science content
@heatedturtle659 Says:
Scared me with the “electrons would still orbit atoms” for a second
@PTE Says:
❤❤❤
@whyami5355 Says:
Was wondering how different atoms would be and this video explained this topic very well!
@Benjaminumeki Says:
0:01.7 Hydrogen
@powertool4uau Says:
Came here looking for answers, Left realizing l will never know anything about the periodic table.
@claudiacarrasco908 Says:
Did no one notice that there are 2 beriliums in 2:22 ?
@appybane8481 Says:
You should write 2D periodic table in 1D letters like Morse code
@егорсамыйлучший14 Says:
Make a 4D version
@PassatB5_1999 Says:
Rather, shouldn't the two-dimensional periodic table of elements be printed one-dimensionally in the same way that the three-dimensional table is printed on two-dimensional paper?
@PHlover88 Says:
No one noticed Helium is written Be? The video is amazing tho
@This_used_to_be_my_moms Says:
2:42 the d column is 1 higher than it should be
@DyxoXinoro Says:
Okay but can we appreciate that slow jazz bass in the background?
@aharris206 Says:
What about a 4D periodic table?
@polskihdmapper899 Says:
DRONKE DZIĘKI MISIU❤❤❤
@Egon_Freeman Says:
Oh great - that NOVA documentary shows up as "The uploader has not made this video available in your country"...
@PhantasticPhysics Says:
#minutechemistry
@kahlzun Says:
An element is defined by the number of protons it has, so even though you're rearranging the table and changing the chemical properties, still doesnt change what 'defines' the element.
@barrianic4 Says:
in 4d, apparently the electrons would have either left-handed spin or right-handed spin
@tapelord3476 Says:
How would a 2d creature draw their periodic table? Since they can only see a line in front of them rather than the whole table from our top-down perspective, how would they create their table so they can see and understand it?
@EthanDegen Says:
2:47 point is to make a general formula for changing the dimensionality of the periodic table so that it can be applied in other ways ie 4D 5D and so on
@zeldaandTwink Says:
Wonder what d4 table looks like
@Xela-r9b Says:
Why can't we simulate a 2d universe?
@josephjarosch8739 Says:
I would love to see a different chanel make a 4 hour documentary about this topic.
@matthewboire6843 Says:
my assumption before watching the video: A 2D world would be mean the Bohr model would be reality.
@MarushiaDark316 Says:
Now do 4D periodic table.
@Jacob-yg7lz Says:
A 2D periodic table could also help with game of life simulations that seek to model atoms on a 2d surface to see what happens.
@error_6o6 Says:
I expected all the elements that would exist if we were in 2 dimensions instead of 3. I was not disappointed.
@ZombieGuildford Says:
I suppose a 4D Table would give you transformative elements with unsual properties. Elements like Vibranium, Divinium, Aetherium, and so on... 5D might get you something as flexible as Prima materia. A 4th and 5th Dimension could explain why many fictional elements have impossible characteristics and abilities, they're chemistry is operating on a different dimentional level.
@thegoldenratioandbeyond232 Says:
Finally, a chemistry video that Flatlanders have been searching for. Only problem is they need the third dimension to actually get a bird's eye view from above of their periodic table.😄

6d next?
