If everything around us is made of atoms, why can’t we actually see them? From ancient philosophy to quantum mechanics, electron microscopes, and the strange limits of human perception, let’s explore one of science’s deepest questions: what does it really mean to “see” something?
Be Smart explores science questions you didn’t even know you wondered about. It is hosted and produced by Joe Hanson, PhD. We post new videos all the time, so please subscribe! If you enjoyed this video, hit the ‘like’ button, leave a comment, or watch another of our videos!

A so-called “heat dome” is pushing temperatures across Europe to extreme levels. Deaths have already been reported in France and the UK, as authorities warn of growing risks.
DW correspondent Lisa Louis reports from Paris on how people and governments are coping. And climate researcher Peter Thorne, Director of ICARUS, explains why this heat is so unusual — and what it tells us about climate change.
The UN calls it a “brutal reminder” of the climate crisis — and experts say such events could become more frequent.
Chapters:
00:00 Heat dome pushes Europe into extreme heat
01:30 Deaths linked to early heatwave in France
03:00 How authorities are adapting to extreme heat
04:30 How people cope with rising temperatures
06:00 Why Europe’s heat records are breaking
07:40 Climate change and record-breaking extremes
09:10 Will heatwaves become the new normal?
10:40 Are governments prepared for future heat?
