00:00Weee!
00:02It's a ghost!
00:04Where?
00:06There!
00:08The one next to you.
00:10That's not a ghost.
00:12Don't be scared.
00:14Just relax.
00:16That's not a ghost.
00:18That's just a skeleton model.
00:20And it's here because
00:22it has something to do with our QOTD.
00:24The question is
00:26Arkin Ryle Alcantara
00:28Mikmik, he's just 5 years old.
00:30Yes.
00:32Very curious.
00:34Can I see the bones
00:36inside my body?
00:38That's a good question.
00:40He's just 5 years old.
00:42I like that.
00:44Very curious.
00:46Arkin, right?
00:48It can be done with the help of a machine
00:50that has super power.
00:52Yes, we can see the bones inside our body.
00:54Do you know what machine that is, Mikmik?
00:56No, I don't know.
00:58We usually see this in hospitals
01:00and clinics.
01:02To know more about the super powers
01:04of this machine,
01:06let's watch this video.
01:10Do you want to have a power
01:12that hides in your eyes?
01:14This is a super power
01:16that's like Superman.
01:18X-ray vision.
01:20This power is really
01:22amazing.
01:26X-ray was first discovered
01:28because of the events
01:30on this planet in 1895
01:32by Wilhelm Röntgen,
01:34a German physics professor.
01:36He discovered that
01:38X-ray can pass through
01:40soft tissues like muscles
01:42but not bones.
01:44With the help of this,
01:46we have the ability to see
01:48inside the human body.
01:50This additional experiment
01:52led to the discovery that
01:54if you pass through a photographic plate,
01:56you can make a picture of the bones.
01:58In 1901,
02:00Röntgen received the first
02:02Nobel Prize in Physics
02:04for his discovery.
02:06A big part of being a scientist
02:08is to be aware of
02:10things that you don't know.
02:12And being curious
02:14can give you a Nobel Prize.
02:16Even if the X-ray is useful,
02:18it's also dangerous
02:20because when you get an X-ray,
02:22you're covered with a lead blanket
02:24to avoid radiation poisoning.
02:28Despite the danger of the X-ray,
02:30it became famous in the 1930s
02:32and 40s as a novelty act.
02:36And the X-ray mainly
02:38hit America.
02:40There were X-ray machines
02:42for the cannibals
02:44to see inside their bodies.
02:46There were also X-ray rings
02:48for the bones of the hands.
02:50And others were in the shoes
02:52to see the perfect shoes
02:54for you.
