This video is about using Bohmian trajectories to visualize the wavefunctions of hydrogen orbitals, rendered in 3D using custom python code in Blender.

Thanks everyone - if anybody wants to help me get all of these visuals into one place (wikipedia, etc), please get in touch via patreon (or my email... it's not too hard to find)!
-
"i want answers, like where is the electron?" - okay - "or how fast is it going?" - well pal, you're gonna have to pick lmao
-
somehow the weirdest thing in this video is that google search engine needs an advertisement upd. how do I turn off notifications on this particular comment, not on all comments completely? your replies are kind of the same, thank you
-
I love all the wavefunctions for the quantum states of the hydrogen atom. Schrodinger would be proud and Bohr would be in awe of this model. You are so incredible.
-
It makes so glad and thankful to see that there are people, around the globe, working hard for their specie, and they don't care on who you are, they just want to know what is the reality around us, and they work together. Thank you guys, all of you around

0:48 BLOBBY THING Dude... this is beautiful. Great work!
-
Leave it to Henry to use custom python code in Blender to make pretty pretty physics.
-
Incredible, thank you so much for this visualisation. I've always had in my head what my highschool chemistry teacher said "when you start studying at university, you'll have to unlearn everything I've taught you". I never did do chemistry at uni so I've always been wondering about the shells of atoms, the orbit of electrons, and the energy levels of excited atoms. This is an amazing rendering.
-
These are just INCREDIBLE. I just love that u love the subject so much
-
There is so much encoded in these visuals that I really wish for a hourphysics episode discussing them.
-
Wow! Well done! Love the visual you create. So impressive.
-
Amazing video! Finally someone has made such visualisation and done it in an understandable yet still accurate way! Thx for the video!
-
Can you model chemical bonds with the same technique? I'd love to especially see what double and triple bonds "really" look like.
-
Never heard of this Google sponsor. Maybe I’ll check them out
-
In an introductory chemistry right now…love these animations ♥️
-
Ngl it honestly is great and all but tbh I still don't get it
-
I am a retired scientist and I think this visualization is a huge step forward and very humble as well.
-
It's so weird how I can finish these videos feeling like I simultaneously learned nothing but also everything.
-
Beautiful. I’d love to see the polarity represented in these models too if possible
-
Wow, never even imagined this amount of detail! Beautiful! Thank you!
