Why the objects around you are never truly still
In short: While the world appears motionless, the atoms within every inanimate object are in a state of constant flux. This video explores the mechanics of molecular movement and investigates whether this internal motion could ever reach a complete standstill.
At the atomic level, the objects we perceive as static are actually characterized by continuous activity. Atoms are constantly stretching, contracting, springing, jittering, and drifting. Ran Tivony examines the fundamental reasons behind this molecular movement and addresses the scientific question of whether such motion might ever cease entirely.
