Jack as a physics nerd myself and CS person love your spacey tangents, proper nerdy video when? And what is your Biceps gravitational pull? I would loved such a laid back professor like you in Uni it would have made learning fun :D.
Just a little clarification, the Quran doesn't state that the sky is being held up like a ceiling. The canopy verse was in reference how upon looking up to the sky/stairs it looks like an massive surface of planets and stars. It actually g goes on to describe the planet as being round as opposed to flat. There is another verse that people misinterpret as the Quran saying the world is flat. That one is when it talks about how God spread out the world for humans. It is not meant to be taken a literally but metaphorically how God created the world and let humans roam it.
I know its a... Less than standard kind of suggestion, but Jerma985 had a rant a little while back about what food we should give aliens to represent us, and the tangents he goes on are insane. With such amazing statements as "giving them edibles would be considered an act of war" and "they would think we poisoned them if we gave them something spicy" You can find the clips, it was from a Pupparazi stream.
In regards of Laika, If I remember correctly, she didn't survive the trip, but survived longer than expected. When she was sent into space, she was expected to die in the orbit out of lack of oxygen, but survived till the re-entering of the atmosphere. She died due to the increase of temperature as the capsule she was in wasn't properly insulated (Like I said, she was expected to be dead at that point) Edit: ok, apparently the part about re-entry wasn't true. After checking the comment of *devin* and further search on the internet, the capsule Laika was sent in spent in Earth's orbit around half a year and supplies were suppose to last 10 days at most.
There is conflicting reports but she either died within hours or a few days after reaching orbit. the craft itself was in orbit for 5 months before reentry and burning up in atmospshere. . In 2002 one of the scientist had said she died from temperature overheating on the 4th orbit around. She did not survive for 5 months for reentry
@@devinaffafdfgs8411 Ohhh... Ok, when I've heard she died due to overheating, my assumption was that it happened during the re-entry. I actually didn't know she was stuck there for that long.
It's funny that his idea of "spinning to build momentum to launch" is a real thing and, as far as i know, is still improving and looks pretty promising
My uneducated theory on the kraken is that when they were hunting whales sometimes the squid that a sperm whale might have been fighting with grabs onto the rowboat and as the whale fights with the squid it drags the boat down with it.
Laika died to overheating after 7 hours in orbit because the cooling system failed and on april 14th 1958 the capsule reentered the atmosphere and burned up
Just out of curiosity Jack, have you read Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles? It has these interesting short stories about colonizing Mars, but it's written in the 50s.
Was recommended this some years ago, after I read the stories by Alistair Remolds that inspired Love Death and Robots first season...but I never got around it. But thanks for reminding me.
(Around 4:33) You think Subnautica would be bad, watch a playthrough of Narcosis... That game has Such a good story as well atmosphere, not too long nor too short, and the unsettling feeling caused by it's ambiance is better than most horror games.
12:36 yes.. it exists, altho it looks more like a glorified hamster wheel with a smokestack xD it's called SpinLaunch for all those who are interested (also not the 99% the speed of light thing, just goes fast enough to get the rocket-less rocket into space)
I never really had a problem with dwarf planets being a thing. Planet is still in the name so it's not a real demotion, it's just a name anyway. Pluto still gets to be a planet everyone knows, even if it's got a slightly different classification. It's not like Pluto itself can have it's pride rocked.
In fact, afaik, science teachers teach kids about the 8 planets and then mention pluto and charon system and how eris, which is actually bigger than pluto and has it's own moon, was the reason why they decided to revisit the concept of what is a planet for the sake of consistency. In my wife's nephew's class (her cousin's kid), the teacher introduced them as the 8 planets and the 9 dwarf planets (although it's just known dwarf planets, since some like sedna take 10k+ years on their orbit around the sun)
i Know you uploaded this video 1 hour ago my king however there is actually a new flashgitz video about War hammer 40K that just got uploaded which i dont know if your aware of yet that I think may be cool if you reacted to as it was uploaded like 40 minutes ago
People piss me off sometimes Exploration has a high chance of death!? Better do nothing and play king of the sand castle till our resources run dry. Like...ugh. People are gonna die man, its gonna happen. For a long time humans couldn't cross the ocean. Humanity really just needs to bite the bullet, as i think the long term benefits are countless. Also i imagine china would lose control of mars very quickly, i mean thats freedom like they've never had. Actually in fairness the idea of humanity getting to start anew even if dire is something that makes me love space more and more.
Subnautica is one of my personal favorite games. I own both because I really like them. But I'm too much of a bitch to actually play them. I just watch other people play them and I only do the intro. I really fear the darkness and unknown of the ocean.
It's pretty fun, tho the sudden need for more resources to get the next tech/construction requiring another deep dive into the depths was pretty annoying/heart pounding (I am hydrophobic)
No, you're thinking of.... i forget what the scientific term is, but basically its the theoretical speed limit of the universe. like, assuming you could travel faster then the speed of light, you couldn't just keep accelerating indefinitely. Eventually you'd hit the universal speed limit. a point where you literally could not travel any faster. In star trek they referred to this as "warp 10" . the idea being you couldn't travel faster then warp 10. You could travel anywhere from warp 1 (the speed of light) to warp 10, but no faster. a ship traveling at warp 10 would be going so fast that it would occupy all points in the universe simultaneously. the point where your travel time from any point in the universe to any other point is literally 0.
@@RaptorNX01 Warp 10 was infinite speed, so going faster would make no sense. What I'm talking about is a Lorentz contraction, which forces everything to get flatter and flatter the closer it gets to light speed.
Hey want to know a land where the people living there hasn't killed indigenous people? Germany :D. We are the indigenous people here. Queue rainbow the more you know meme ;).
@@Tommy9834 You mean the countless catholic persecutions and crucifixions and the hunting of German people through the Slavic countries? Ah no you mean the jew stuff I can surmise, please provide your feedback to the Austrian people. Please and thanks. Now jokes aside, I was talking about indigenous people not religious denominations or various atrocities across history, where every country had a happy hand with. Let me tell you this, I own our history and try to be a better person to make the world a better place. Can you say the same?
@@Tommy9834 Kinda, I'm really sorry and did not mean to be mean. But I've taking sh*t and abuse physical/mental for my whole life just because of where I was born. Hope we are cool :).
