Please do a 'Science of Inversion from TENET' Cosmic Queries Edition inviting our scientist 'Brian Greene' and our scientist turned filmmaker 'Christopher Nolan' himself...! An incredible infusion of Science and Pop-culture in the modern age!
Love the swimming segment. It's a simple matter of tolerances. You can talk about the dimensional consistency of gravel against a cleat. You can talk about grass density per square cm. You can't use the same tolerances pouring a foundation as you do building a cabinet door. Great stuff. :)
Machining something like a bearing has a lot closer tolerances than building something out of cement can have because, the cement expands and contracts more than metal. So, unless you either build with other materials whose tolerances can be a ten thousandth of an inch or at least line the pool with metal that can be tweaked to within those tolerances, it's going to be impossible to achieve those time tolerances. Lol. I just realized that I said what you said but, I was long winded. :)
Hey Neil, thanks for all you do. I'd like to request as a guest the Dutch astrophysicist and former MIT professor Walter Lewin. He's amazing and it would be interesting to see the two of you interact over physics.
Randy Couture was pretty old staying in MMA and I think this would be the most strenuous sport you could do getting in to the years. Although he did 'retire' a few times, he did come back to take back his title and finally threw in the towel at age 47.......in the MMA!!! Anyone over 40, in MMA would be considered grandfathers hehe Oh yeah, they also did a special on Randy Couture, showing that our lactic acid system can be so tuned, that you can recycle energy quick enough, to hold MAXIMUM pressure for extremely long times. MUCH longer than your ATP systems can handle and still not be tired from going so hard that would drain any normal human being.
Indiana used to not observe DST in the entire state, except for counties around Chicago (NW), Evansville (SW) and Cincinnati (SE) which all observed DST. But former Governor Mitch Daniels back around 2000's Indiana law changed to observe DST over the whole state. Which the whole state is Eastern Time Zone with exception of the aforementioned NW and SW counties, that observe Central Time Zone.
You sure are starting early! (Though aren't you supposed to be 13 to be using YT....? But if it's for science, I guess it's excusable). Niel's been a big inspiration for my love for astrophysics as well. Hope it continues for you!
my favorite "I hadn't considered that before" was the variation of lane lengths in a swimming pool 'cuz it ain't perfectly square straight line from corner to corner. Maybe they can put in a laser as "finish line" for many sports.
Gymnasts are frequently working towards or practicing bigger moves than they compete until they get consistant enough to put into a routine. They will land it hundreds of times before it goes into a routine.
if you live in a dimension that have access to time what is the meaning of live there, as you can be anywhere in time what is present, how is it that you are able to access the past but not able to change because of paradoxes that may occur ....... and many more questitions. I really wanted to know the answer and hoping to watch you answer these question in the future videos. Thank you for reading my silly questions.
If I take a rod which is one light year long. Then I use it to press a button which is also one light year away from me. Then have I transferred my energy to the button faster than the speed of light.. Please answer/explain this 🙏
As for determining if a ball is or is not in possession, it would be easy to use machine learning. Show the AI a large sample of of it, and simple label each as a 'yes' or 'no'. The AI will sort it out.
Hi Neil Hi Chuck, Your combination is amazing , You have sparked curiosity in all of us. Many thanks. Can I ask , if time dilation is true ( the movie interstellar) will the cell matabolism slow down also , as time slows down? Just for curiosity, if from the spaceship perspective 1 week has passed and from people near the black hole perspective say few seconds have passed, and during this second they did not drink water, will the survive as it's just seconds or they will die as a week without water ? What are your views on this .
Neil please check out my mini fusion reactor prototype the M.F.C this is not a Farnsworth fusor this is a form of mini tokamak and the first of tokamak kind that uses passive confinement and uses one magnet for electrode protection and particle rotation and uses the x-ray presser from the reaction to confine the plasma as the passive containment. so as the reaction rates increase so does the x-rays so the core self balance's. this cuts out the need for any high power magnets and the needs for extra power input for confinement methods that are in uses to day. most of the info is in the descriptions.
I mean in fornula 1 it's also not about the driver but who has the best machine... Kind of the same thing like with swimming back in 2009.. And in F1 it's been like that for years and decades
1:40, ummmmm I think you're a little confused there. All of Indiana has had DST since 2006. I think you meant to say we have different time zones. A majority of Indiana is on EST, while there are a few places on the western side of the state that are on CST.
Some world records were missed that I was aware, for example, Iru Balic missed one world record because the people who couldn't verified that wasn't there at the moment when she broke the record.
in reference to the comment about swimsuits. I wish you would have reiterated that all of these people that are competing are still top-level athletes. I'd hate for people to have the impression that somebody with no athletic ability could just walk off the street and throw on a suit and break a world record. The suit matters for the people who are all trying to cram into the top 1% of their sport. It may not necessarily be a big deal to people on the lower end.
Imagine having the honour to co-host startalk for as many episodes as Chuck.he must have an insane insight on all the great ideas that spew out of neils mind. Im not surprised he knows a lot about astrophysics.
Hey Neil. Hope thats ok to call you. You remind me of my uncle nic. When i was younger he wpuld always have me try to find things he didn't know. So with that said i have a question. How humid would the world have to be for us not to be able to ignite a flame or strike a match.
"tanning leather was a more recent technology, right" Umm, heck no! "Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia are said to have invented plant-based leather tanning" -The History of Leather Tanning by Dr. Josephine Barbe
What's interesting is technology is already better than humanity. For instance, there was this paralympian with no legs, but got the technology to install these super legs that legit makes him faster others who have legs so the technology was banned
tanner baw. I wonder how many football players could even kick it without breaking their foot? I would like to see professional games played in context of pre technological development? It was once banned for causing more casualties than battles. Thou i am reminded of armistice christmas day 1914.
Seriously, in this age are we talking about pouring concrete and not being straight ?. Pour concrete an inch away and use plastic block to the accuracy that we want, problem solved, unless I am missing something here.
Technology an sports just look at IndyCar's from over the decades from 1911 too 2021 pole have gone from 70 mph in 1911 too 236 mph in 1996 along with race cars advance in technology an safety as well etc..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
