5 Unsolved Space Mysteries | Answers With Joe 

Quick! Turn off everything. I hope that THEY do not detect us! Have you heard what they do to each other? We want none of that!

@@vogonp4287 They stick their weird appendages in their every hole they got on the body!

fun fact, we dont know what shape it is

@@wyattmurphy7153 Have you seen Anton's video too? So apparently we don't really know it's shape and it could have been a chunk of frozen nitrogen from a Pluto like object in another system.

I’m sure anyone flying past would stop to laugh at us , a world of evolved monkeys who spend more on football than space exploration and are over populating and poisoning there planet .... how embarrassing

That's the main reason I use as to why I don't believe aliens have ever been to Earth. One look at us and they'd be like "Nope" 😂

I blame Twitter.

They monitored our communications, picked up- a Trump rally and said, "No intelligent life here. Let's head for the next system."

dude don't say heck there might be kids watching

@@elizabethsullivan7176 And if they had any doubt the roughly 800 above ground nuclear tests are visible for dozens of lightyears.

Top rate stuff! I keep coming back for more.

he does use a script usually, but it still feels very natural.

... and fits in s̶o̶m̶e̶ a lot of lame jokes that we love! 😂

I can’t imagine what kind of RU-vidrs you’ve somehow stumbled upon or where you’ve found them, because I sure haven’t seen any actual science RU-vidrs do that lol.

I like that he delivers a lot of solid information in a relatively short time. So many science videos on YT are padded out to take ten minutes to explain something that could have easily been thoroughly explained in two minutes.

Same :/

I can still remember being in the 6th grade in 1984 and counting down 16 more years until the turn of the century.

@@elizabethsullivan7176 wow u guys are really old

@@Gaurav-zz9wo Yep 😁 But I'm still a kid at heart 😊

When people talk about the 90s and refer to it as, “about 30 years ago,” it blows my mind. Doesn’t seem like it’s possible!

Tell me about it. I had to rethink my kids birthdays

Thus we fade into the mists of time!:-) 🙃🖖

You know, that comment caught my attention for a split second too but I didn't realize why it stood out. I did the mental math because it seemed odd but moved on quickly. I guess because I was born in 80 it seems like "last century" was the 1800s. Perception is weird...

@@JRS3540 As you get older, perception of time gets really strange. You get "New Years" twice a year! No kidding. At the age of about 12, you can actually see a split second into the future. Its how the brain actually works, no kidding! Ask Joe

I still think that the 90’s were 10 years ago. 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️😭

It made sense on this one.

OLF always has chapters

@@joescott it’s a huge QoL feature IMO for RU-vid, if you could add them in when it makes sense going forward we’d appreciate it. Great vid!

He did a video on 5 advanced space propulsion techniques several months ago. His Twitter account reminded his followers of this a few hours ago.

Ayo why is this comment is from 20 hours ago and the vid is 1 hour old

Dr. Loeb is one of the people who truly have my deepest respect. And it boils down to this: he noticed a _problematic conservatism_ persisting among the mainstream scientific community, including his own colleagues in the astronomy community, that had clearly in Avi's eyes been resulting in anti-scientific outcomes, a bizarre, sheltered elitism that created a rift between the public and the scientific community, between what _the public_ (who tend to be the funders of scientific research one way or another) was interested in, and wanted answers to, and what mainstream, award-winning scientists thought was worth studying and looking into-not because they were or are bad people, but because they've gotten caught up in things like their academic bubbles, or their comfort zones, or their preconceived notions of what we can or can't find out there. And his response was to use the positions he's worked incredibly hard to end up in, and the respect and reputation he's gained in the mainstream community in the process, and of course _his voice,_ to change that. To *correct* the problems that have been stifling new discoveries for decades, and that even led to the outright bullying of scientists (and people in the general population) who wanted to scientifically pursue ideas that weren't considered testable, or realistic, or were seen by fellow scientists who believed they knew better to be _not worth our time_ to check. He is leading by example, and it's absolutely been working, so for that, he's more than earned my utmost respect and admiration. Period.

It would be a mourning

-4°C is t-shirt weather

Even Germany had -16°C in February 😅

-4 is shirtless weather

Not as severe as siberia but.. *laughs in swedish*

@Bozkurt postuna bürünmüş yobaz AraB devesi lol. indeed. The funny thing is that it is the same in US. In northern and midwestern states it actually gets colder than it does here where I am now (Czech Republic), even being in lower latitude. And yeah temperatures of -30 and 40 are not supper uncommon in big american cities like Chicago. I guess just goes to show how big US is, where the South US rarely sees freezing temps, but in the north that is pretty much common place. I would say Russia is probably the same but I think all of Russia is in pretty high latitudes so everywhere there gets pretty cold lol.

Joejos bizarre adventure part 10

This is fascinating! It’s a shame Joe won’t do a video on this topic.

I’ve never heard of anything like that, but it is well documented that certain sound frequencies that are undetectable to you, but very detectable to your body, can cause major anxiety and dread in people. Oftentimes old machinery and locations like tunnels or crevices that wind can pass through can cause this effect.

​@@LeBatteur yeah sure it's wind. Upstairs in the house?!?😮

@@rodrigosilvero5749Yep. It’s easy to forget, but air isn’t this still thing that just sits still when you’re inside a house. Air is a liquid that flows and has currents and eddies like every other liquid that flows. Also the human mind is an incredible liar - we are extremely good at convincing ourselves of something that never happened, but our brain THOUGHT it saw something and therefore you “see” a shadow in the darkness or something out of the corner of your eye when really it’s just your brain fooling you. Apophenia is everyone’s new word of the day

@Naturally Perfect ...What...?

@Naturally Perfect Your comment just seemed entirely unrelated to the original comment, with the sole exception that it described (in detail) your experiences with a film that the original comment referenced, and then later in your comment it became illegible to me.

@Naturally Perfect It's not Mostly Awesome's fault whatsoever; they were just saying that their Patreon money was well-spent, because Joe made a Shawshank Redemption reference. "Patreon money" is money spent on Patreon, which is a site where people can choose to pay a subscription, and the money they spend on the subscription goes to a person of their choice, in this case Joe, as an additional method of supporting creators they like. The people paying the subscription are called "Patreon supporters", or just "supporters", because the money they spend supports the creator of their choice. In exchange, supporters usually get special benefits in comparison to everyone else, usually having their name featured in videos (that's what the names that scroll at the end of Joe's videos are) and/or being able to see videos early, before they are posted on RU-vid. It is very common for RU-vidrs to have a Patreon, so that they have a more consistent and reliable form of income, because RU-vid isn't exactly the most consistent when it comes to how well your videos do, and therefore, how much money you make.

The half life of heat in the atmosphere is about 15 days. So take your current temp and calculate. The declineing temp will take short pauses at the vapor, liquid, ice transition points but after we hit the CO2 freeze point in the first 6 months the surface would be pretty much uninhabitable. As long ad the sun is out the surface will continue to approach MBG.

Cries in Irish.

😂

@Gerald H Yeah, Was going to point out that Cherenkov radiation does the same thing, but it's an effect we can observe. ;) So, "digital high five"?

This example is just further evidence for how the vacuum speed of light should be renamed to speed of causality or speed of information ;)

Confirmed but also knew you were trolling just a bit :)

The key word he missed was "average". Photons always travel at light speed (c), they just get more "stoplights" along the way so their average progression is less than the slower neutrino that never has to wait for the stoplights.

@@Dragrath1 I was coming here to make such a comment if I hadn’t found it. Emphatic agreement that “speed of light” is not a good name and that we can do better.

same - i'm a bit of a cryophile to begin with, always sort of felt 'empowered' in an almost delusional 'felt stronger and had more endurance in the cold' sort of way, hardly ever got really chilled, even without a coat in like january. in ohio. heat on the other hand, tends to kick my ass. though weirdly i can handle 100 degree dry heat, from when i lived in oklahoma, it's hot and it sucks but it's not exhausting to even breathe, better than i can like 75 humid.

It was!! And I had 4 or 5 pipes burst because our plumbing works differently up in the ceilings and walls instead of below. It was miserable

You live in Manitoba or Ontario then?

When I was in Belize I was chatting with a local woman about our climate differences. I'm from Chicago. I told her it was 30 back home. She said 30? I don't understand. 30 is dead! 😄

Shit fam you from Alberta?

to put it another way - i live in ohio. ALL of the buildings not made of concrete or some shit have an angled roof - in oklahoma where i lived for a bit, most roofs are flat. because, up here, 6+ feet of snow might fall, and the angled roofs will let that snow not collect as dense. texas got hit with a level of snow not even their buildings were built with the capacity to be able to handle.

Wow you are such a badass

Yep and think about looking for their earmuffs.

Yep

pretty sure the norwegians have pools in their backyards with salt and vodka added so they can swim laps on the sunny, negative 4 afternoons. it's funny to imagine someone in a bathing suit and earmuffs. hey, was there a perfume commercial with that image?

I’m from north vancouver island and idk what the rest of Canada is on but like constant coats from October to April

@@cleo5090 Yeah, but not like layering parkas or anything.

It was talking to the whales, humpback whales, specifically.

Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan!

@Naturally Perfect it’s Finnish lol it’s basically a joke among Finns that since their country’s so obscured, when their country/nationality/language gets mentioned at all they say “Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan,” which translates to “Finland mentioned, meet at town square/center” i’m not Finnish myself, but I have Finnish friends who let me in on the meme after stumbling upon it on the internet lol

Phoenix Arizona here. I can understand the shorts but like how the t-shirt? Is winter for you like -20c. I'm used to a nice cool 15c here during winter lol.

There are a few strange guys at my Swedish uni that go in shorts and t-shirt the entire year regardless of weather (even -20C)

The super power is sympathy

I thought that was Dr. Manhattan...

i guess it works, since some of the most powerful people i know got stronger from having cancer. . . and in an x-men kinda way, i suppose it's worth musing that some people might develop a superpower due to a mutation caused by cancer. . . anyway, i'm gonna go with, "why not?" :)

Well it did help my husband lose 30 lbs practically overnight. He's cancer free now though.

In my day the hearth was our TV. And we walk to school five miles away. Uphill to and from through three-foot snowdrifts. And we liked it

@@zed1stwizard Ha! Luxury! 😆

@@zed1stwizard When I were a nipper we used to 'ave to get up half an hour before we went to bed, we'd get an 'andful of cold gravel for us breakfast (if we were lucky!), then we'd have to walk twenty miles to 'pit were we'd work twenty seven hours a day for threpence, then when we'd get 'ome our old man'd literally beat us to death 'nd send us to bed wi'out any supper! An' if you tell that to young'uns these days they'll not believe you! 😆

@@AnthonyIlstonJones Gravel? Baaa. Then you had it easy. We went to bed without anything to nash our teeth on most nights. But our pappy wouldn't beat us unless we let one of the youngins get eaten by bears. That only happened the one time I can tell ya. Then we would get bear meat once in a while. So we had it good on that score. Us boys all shared a bed and taken turns to stook the hearth every hour overnight. Youngins these days are soft and live like royalty. With their inside plumbing electric lights whole-house heating and less the six to a bed.

@@zed1stwizard You had a bed?!? Luxury! We had to sleep in a lake! That's only when the motorway was full mind.....😆

It's an answer to the question "What are the 5 unsolved space mysteries of today according to Joe Scott?" so, anything goes really.

He’s aware of this - in fact he’s said multiple times now that it should probably be called “Questions with Joe”

@@dundermifflinity I think the way it is it's more in line with our initially always naive approach to science and knowledge and the way reality usually evates that: 'You came here for answers? Here they are. What, the answers just gave you more questions? That's the universe for ya, kiddo.'

An oxymoron would be 'solved enduring mysteries'. 'Unsolved mysteries' is a pleonasm.

@@rasmusn.e.m1064 - and the reason Joe calls reviewing the comments ‘embracing the pain’ becomes abundantly clear.

Actually, if you can figure out what is the optimal size and number of ball bearings to spread a load over the largest surface area (caused by stress deformation of the bearing with the contact surface) for a given space allowed for the bearings to fit under a given load. You can probably figure out anything...

Did I miss something? I am currently experiencing dreadful ball bearing fomo..

Thanks Dr. Rosen Rosenstein.

Yeah, and dark matter probably doesn't even exist ;) once we get a more refined understanding of gravity, I think this "error term" will go away.

@@The_Flamekeepers my thoughts exactly

@@The_Flamekeepers Then explain the flash 😈

@@The_Flamekeepers that may be true. The mystery for me is not necessarily what they are, but do they both exist? If not, what is the truth?

@@diyeana seeking the truth is a very valuable attribute. Both DE & DM seem to be properties of spacetime imo, but we definitely don't understand them nearly at all.

@@protoguy eh. Some people think scars are attractive...

@@CalemSmith I appreciate that but I basically had a mastectomy to get tissue to repair my neck so both look jacked af lol

That's my favorite episode! The look on Cat's face when he had to go to the bathroom at the end. 🤣🤣🤣

@@elizabethsullivan7176 😊😊

"Unrumble!"

Indeed lol

No. They spent eons building the Dyson Sphere. We only lost sight when they put the last panel in place!

Maybe 75Ma ago they had only half built their Dyson swarm and the built part just swung around to the side that we would be on 75Ma later.

Maybe it was a significant period of time, and we only saw the last panel put in place. They were probably busy making it since before we started recording.

@@Bob_Lob_Law Would be a hell of a job building a Dyson sphere around a star that big, not necessarily a good choice. And to the OP they're unlikely to be natives evolving to that level around such a young star, or do you think we're late developers?

Same :(

tell your parents why you exist.

Dude. Same.

He likes to read 😁

It’s just a rock

@@xMorogothx OK, it is just a rock. My point still stands. Fingering out how a rock can do what this did will probably open up so many theories about motion, and physics that we have not considered before.

What is wrong with considering it was alien? Alien space trash ?

@@oxigeno05 Interesting, and nothing wrong with it. I just thing we learn more if we look for other explanations, instead of waving the magic wand of aliens.

What's Greta saying about this?!
