Tribal People Learn about The Solar System Part 01 

It's not quite possible to respond to each comment saying how good I am at teaching so I have a few words to say. I love doing this, I could just play videos for them to make sense of it on their own but regardless of the topic, I want to make sure they understand what they are watching or listening. And for that I need to communicate with them from time to time, have their feedbacks on what I'm presenting and if they are getting bored of it or want to learn more about it. Plus, this still isn't the whole picture so I probably spent like 2 hours with each of them to explain. It was done in two days in Muharam's case but that's another story. Anyways, the other thing why I can't do direct translations is because I can only speak Sindhi and Urdu fluently so both Abdul and Parvati's native languages are different than mine. In Abdul's case I had to learn his language but I still can't speak it. He understands Sindhi well but can't speak it naturally the way we do. Parvati has trouble in understanding Sindhi and that's probably why she asks me to repeat myself at times. Like when she says what do you mean? So, you see I can't just dub videos for them and even if I did it would take away the essence of learning from this channel and all we'd be left with will be blanks faces. I don't believe in what other reaction channels do these days, for the sake of views and engagement, they are using people to emote unnatural expressions regardless of what they learn. Mostly it's a TikTok video of random stuff and the reason is they don't and can't copyright your videos for using tiktoks. Anyways, I love you all and I can go on like this with your support and their will to learn about things. I'm no expert in science, the concept of stars moving away was new to myself too so I'm learning and both thinking how to convey what I learn from our participant's perspectives but still I'm not having any expectations in them and it's totally ok too. Though it confused me when Abdul at the end of these sessions praised science but doesn't think kids need to learn it. Yes, I'm super confused but still his youngest son would be the first one in his family to get an education and I'll support him in whatever ways I can.

Another good example they might understand is the way you can see lightening before you hear thunder when you are in a storm. Light travels faster than sound- although you may also let them know that thunder can be heard up to 15miles away so they may miss seeing the lightening since you’d have to be facing the direction it happens where as thunder is a little harder to ignore. Hope that helps explain how we perceive things at different times even though they are simultaneous.

I like how they ask questions and make statements while you are teaching. (like "I can stare at a star, and not at the Sun, so how can they be the same?" or "I see the stars every night, so how can they not be there?") It shows that they are engaging and working to understand, and not just immediately accepting whatever you say, whether they understand it or not. Great job! I look forward to Part 2!

Abdul has what I call emotional intelligence. He relates things to how he feels and things he’s experienced and in that way it makes it more familiar, and he’s able to grasp things people of his age and teachings wouldn’t. I also think it’s incredible how sensitively you handle his religious beliefs when discussing science. It’s his core in his life. Without it, his life has no meaning. So to challenge it would make him feel alienated and probably disillusioned and why would he want to participate? In the end he always walks away with a new appreciation. In his eyes, the world and universe is a wonderfully intricate gift from god, and he’s very accepting of new concepts because of his faith that god is all encompassing, all powerful, and created every minute detail for a reason. He never says a bad thing about anyone and only discusses the good. That man is amazing and I’m glad you have him this experience, because he’s the kind of person who is truly appreciative of everything.

These are incredibly difficult concepts for everyone to understand, and took many brilliant people many lifetimes to get around to figuring out, so kudos to you teaching this as it isn't easy. The whole light having a speed thing is wild to think about because it's so fast.

Learning idea: Zooming out from your studio (a place and street they can recognize even looking down on it) to show the whole country and then the whole Earth. 🌎 I think this might help put things in perspective.

A way to explain how light travels. Imagine that the sun has an on off switch. You are on the earth. The sun is where it is located. Imagine someone turned on the on switch and you were waiting for the light to turn on. It will take eight minutes before the person on earth will see that you have turned on the light for the sun. Then explain how many or how long it will take for different stars for their light to reach the earth. As if they can also be turned on and off like a light.

I’m so happy that Parvati is learning how we are all Connected! 🥰💝 I agree though, America does seem like it’s on another planet! 🤪 another great video Adnan👏😃

"Science would keep on advancing...It won't go backwards" One of the wisest things I've seen anyone say.

It is impossible to put myself in the position of being an adult without having been taught these concepts my entire life. What intelligent people you have here, and you're such a great teacher. There are people who have been taught these things their whole lives but still don't quite grasp them. It's amazing what these lovely people are able to grasp from just a few short lessons and videos. Quite impressive. As someone who has been interested in math, science and cosmology since I was a very little kid, I absolutely LOVE these videos.

I think it's so interesting and great how you personalize your explanations to each person and their own knowledge. I think you're a great teacher! Cant wait to see the other parts :)

When looking at the stars, you are seeing light created thousands of years ago, it's sort of a time machine

Oh, a hard topic to understand, but you are doing a great and respectful job for them. ☺️👍

Oh! What perfect timing! The first images from James Webb Space Telescope will be released, live, in the next day or two! Wondrous days for sure! You are a fantastic teacher and I can't wait to see these people learn about all of the nebulae, galaxies, huge stars, constellations! This is going to be brilliant

I love this channel. Their willingness to learn "new" concepts is inspiring.

Can we all just take some time to appreciate this man for explaining so perfectly and patiently. It would not surprise me sir if you are a teacher. Well done and thank you for your hard work. Please say hello from me (Landi) to everyone and point out where I (and perhaps others) are saying hello from on the Earth model. Hello from Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

This channel is so fascinating, while you are trying to teach tribal people about the world there is also so much feedback from them that is teaching us also.

A good way to experience the difference between light and sound speed is: With a pair o binoculars get someone to hammer a wood peg to the ground some 300m away. It's just a few seconds delay. But you will clearly see it.

Wow, you explain these concepts in ways that most would never have thought of so that they could understand. Thank you for taking the time to teach them about a subject that I am sure they would never have learned if it weren't for your help. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing with us.

You're doing a great job explaining these concepts. Even watching videos requires some baseline knowledge, and you provide that very well. Understanding the speed of light and the vastness of space is difficult for any human mind.

The effort you put into making sure they understand the topic on a fundamental level, is what sets this channel apart from the million other reaction channels. You have my respect! (and the fact that you are into and feature Metal on the channel regularly is just icing on the cake). Good stuff brother :)

This is my favourite channel on RU-vid.

Ambitious! You're doing something so great here.

Muharam, Parvatti and Abdul have a complete willingness to listen and to learn. It is wonderful to see them react individually to the new things they are learning. They question facts being given but they accept them once it is illustrated on how things work. Keep up the great work. Stay Well and Stay Safe.

I love Abdul's resolve in all these videos to constantly try to stay in control while in the deepest waters of new knowledge. I can't help but smile. He's guarded by his old faith and equally wants to impart on you as you're basically telling him the secrets of the universe. It cracks me up. His little nuggets of 'wisdom' make me smile. It's a bit frustrating at times, but we all have that old man in our lives. At least he's at the table with you, listening. I really, really love the concept of this channel and your work. Keep it up ... never stop teaching like this. You have a great gift of balance, teaching without imparting yourself on them. I love it.

I love these type of educational videos!! I think they're great! I think all people should have access to information to increase their understanding and widen perspectives. Education expands the mind, makes people more inquisitive and creative. People cannot advance personally or as a society without it, in my humble opinion. Good job honey! You're a great teacher! Love it!

I like the education style of this channel.

I didn't want it to end 😢. I eagerly await part 2!

You're very good at this and patient. It's _extremely_ hard to explain how the light works, because we don't have an exact science for it, we just can observe some things about it. It's kind of like a particle and a wave at the same time... To explain how an eye works though, and compare with a camera, to set up for the idea of telescopes, that is a good idea. Bless these people and bless you

If you see heavy machinery working at a distance, for example the machines that hot on top of steel pillars, it ss very obvious that the sound arrives late. Another classic example is thunder arriving seconds after lightning.

Sometimes I think the US is on a different planet too, and I live here 😂

I feel as though I picked up most of this by osmosis back when I was a teen (I read a lot back then). But I do recall watching some PBS shows like Nova that made it all clearer. I just had the sad realization that those shows I watched were produced around 1980, or 40+ years ago. Dang, I'm getting old! But I'm glad there are newer shows with the info we've learned from the Pioneer and Voyager probes that you can share with these lovely people. I do miss Mohammed's POV though.

You are blowing these good peoples minds.

I really like what you guys are doing here. Can't wait for part 2 :)

National Geographic is awesome!!!

ugh! I wanted more! 😊

Good start. Looking forward to part 2. 🥰

I'm maybe most amazed of your ability to understand what they don't know or understand and then bring the information in the right shape to them. Unbelievable and so enjoyable.

This is amazing! Its a joy watching all of you understand each other

Can't wait for the next videos! I love hearing you trying to explain these concepts, and their eyes light up when the idea starts to make sense... Your lighting in your shots is very nice too, nice and balanced and warm. I've said before that you have a loving attitude towards these amazing people.

this is what i have been hoping for!

I am very much enjoying this series so far.

You're doing a great job explaining these concepts.

Great Teacher, another way of explaining the science❤

absolutely adore the work you're doing here. excellent video, excellent series. please keep doing this!

You're doing great, teaching is not only about the material but also how you make it understandable for people that learn this for the first time.

Please continue to make more videos like this, there is no greater joy than learning, but seeing someone learn is a close second.

What great examples you gave them to help them understand these more complex topics!! That was very clever of you and I’m sure it helped them. I’m looking forward to the next video in this series! 😊

Fantastic job describing a light year. Just absolutely great job teaching.👏👏👏

I know everyone else has already said this, but it makes me so happy the way you explain everything so patiently and the examples you use! You truly care about making sure they understand everything. The solar system and light years are such big concepts to explain- even people here in America who have had years of schooling sometimes struggle to understand these things. But you have a wonderful way of explaining things simply and effectively! I hope you continue to make these videos for a very long time!

Expanding their minds to understand the world around them is very impactful. Good job!

I have seen previews for this channel for a long time, but only today started watching. I really like how well-explained and philosophical it is. The interviewing style is extremely good; it is patient and thoughtful. I have subscribed and will recommend your videos to others!

Love this!

I so enjoy watching your videos...💕💕 Everyone is open to learning and understanding and that is such a good thing. Blessings upon you all...💕💕💕💕💕💕

I love what you’re doing sir. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to many of us.

Excellent video guys! Looking forward to Part 2 :) And yes, Adnan, from one teacher to another you're a fantastic educator. Kudos!

Brother, you are such a good teacher.

Can't wait for part 2.

You did a great job explaining. Imagine having to grasp this knowledge as an adult. Mind blowing.

I live in Scotland my friend.I have learnt so much from this channel.You are educating us all,all over our sad world.The people you talk to are an inspiration.I didn’t realise how lucky I am.Thankyou.

You are a very good educator.

You are a good teacher.

I love how engaged Parvati is. When I was very young, Parvati, I knew Pakistan existed, but it felt like a planet away. I never thought it was possible to visit. And the people were always described in such "ecotic" ways. In other words, they weren't like *me,* their problems, wants, needs, etc. were alien. When I got old enough, I studied Mandarin Chinese and moved to China. I met wonderful people from every corner of the world. Although we all had different religions and life experiences, we were still so similar. And you had the same people in every country, the very upright person, the ladies' man, the bookworm, etc. And I met many wonderful Pakistanis from cities and the countryside alike who were very much like me. And while I was in China, Pakistan was my neighbor. Now I live in Iran with my Iranian husband. And even though I'm American, you're once again my neighbor. I hope that one day you'll come and visit and see more of this beautiful planet. 🙂 Love from 🇮🇷

You rock man !

I love this :) I was huge into space growing up, as a kid I had a big book called "our Universe", I read that thing SO many times. It would go over planets, stars, size charts, etc. I actually just re-bought it recently for the memories!

The wisdom of Tribal People will never cease to amaze me. And reassure me: I am not the only one then who thinks that America and Americans are on a different planet... The explanations about light were a bit laborious. Maybe using lightning and thunder and how to use the duration between the two to compute the distance to the storm because light travels almost instantly at such short distances but sound does not would have been a better introduction. I hope Part 2 will teach all how to distinguish planets and stars in the sky. The biggest or closest planet show a solid light, while stars are so far away that their light scintillate from all the obstacles in-between, including nearly invisible obstacles such as clouds of gas or very light dust.

These people have such different life experiences and perspectives than I do, but they have the same curiosity and good will towards others. These are all people I would enjoy meeting and spending time with. Abdul seems like such a great guy, much wisdom and a kindly personality.

Teaching about the speed of light and how it takes time also telling them that there's a time scale about how that source to which may or may not be there anymore is somewhat hard to comprehend. This is a very tough subject to try to explain but it is amazing what you're doing and sparking their brains.

Yup, these are my faves!!! Expanding the human condition is amazing.

Our Sun would be a good example. The distance between Earth and Sun is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) and the light would travel it about 500 seconds. If the Sun for example ceased to exist, you would see it for about 8,5 minutes after that without knowing it no longer exist.

You are doing great.

I'm new to this channel, and I don't watch RU-vid a lot, but stumbled upon this one. I have such respect and care for you and those in the videos. It's our human nature to learn, and you are showing this beautifully. Really, it comes down to...people are people, we are a very curious group!!! I wish to learn more and will continue to watch and care for everyone in your videos. How can we help support?

Thank you.

BEST VIDEO YET!

I grew up with most of this knowledge, but it must be such a difficult concept to understand, coming from a village, where most of the time is spent on surviving. These villagers have sharp minds

These are my favourite types of videos you make. It's so incredible seeing people discover and learn about things that we take for granted in Western countries. I love all their interpretations and what they take from them.

i just love these people! peace to them all from usa

3:58 i like how you went along with it since in a sense from his point of view to understand its right and you slid into how that works for the camera. Noice

Wish more humans had the qualities of the folks you're interviewing here... It's beautiful. They're open-minded, humble, kind and curious. A tabula rasa mindset occurs when one has not been educated. It's only tragic when folks have had access to education and still insist on idiotic beliefs like the Earth being flat. (Which is happening in the US, for crying out loud.) Thank you for the kindness and respect in your questioning... and for making most of your videos about subjects that matter. Paz y luz, everyone. 🙋😊

The way I learned that light had a speed, and that sound had a speed as well, and that they were different, was by paying attention to the lightnings and thunders during a storm. You will see the flash of light first, and then after a few seconds you will hear the "boom". That was when I fully understood that concept as a kid, experiencing it by myself with my own eyes and ears

What a great time for them to learn with thos video being released rhe same day JWST released its first photo!

I'm so happy you're able to share some knowledge to people who may not of been able to access it. Especially that beautiful women (not sure of her name) but she always looks eager to expand on what she was unable to gain through her short schooling opportunities. A fast learner too!

Those concepts are hard to understand for most of the human population. Way to go for these people for their courage to try in front of the camera. Impressive. From the other hand comparing sound and light is tricky. Sound definitely has a medium to propagate within. Light, on contrary, propagates only in empty space. Sound is just kinetic phenomenon while light is just electromagnetic one. So, what kind of medium is that empty space then? If light is a wave then it needs a medium to propagate within or to vibrate if you will. Like sound which is vibration. So, light doesn't travel. It doesn't have to. Like sound doesn't travel either. Only energy travels so to speak. World around is way stranger than we can imagine.

The thumbnail is such a beautiful picture. It says 'here, I bring you the earth, the moon and the stars.' Beautiful.

Another, maybe easier, way to grasp the speed of light would be using our sun. It takes 8 minutes for light to reach Earth. That's one astronomical unit. Our nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is just around 4.3ly away. Thay means we see light from where it was 4.3yr ago

Teaching a child is hard. Teaching an adult is much harder. Good on you for your patience and understanding and determination. Still watching and enjoying your videos since pretty close to the beginning of your channel.

And after all that in depth explanation, he says "lets start with gods name"❗Wonderful. 🤣

I really understand that explaining the enormous distances and how big the universe is and how really difficult it is to understand and assume the concepts of the speed of light and much more the light year and above all to explain that the light of the stars we see, died Long ago, we see the past of the stars. You have to have a lot of patience and explain these concepts in many different ways and with many examples to be able to understand them. Greetings and good job.

super intressting video keep up the good work, here a little but maybe helpful example for the speed of light or an intressting fact. if you switch off the sun right now, it would take little bit more than 8 minutes to see the we have switched it off.

@Trybals Should be interesting seeing you try to explain them what a black hole can do to light. The gravity is so strong it can actually warp and bend light like moving a piece of string. Its actually possible if the conditions are right for the light bouncing off the back of your head to be bent around in front of your face. Theoretically you'd be able to see the back of your own head without using a mirror.

With all the new images coming from the James Webb space telescope, I'd love to see you build enough foundational knowledge for them to one day react and hopefully understand the scope of those images. The one image of the "natural telescope" caused by gravity bending light is just absolutly mind-boggling.

This is so amazing to watch. Things they have never seen or heard of before, and in everything they all see the good part of it. Perhaps that is what true wisdom is ? Always look at the good parts in everything you see ? Anyway, it would be great to see them react to lifelike robots and similar things, they might heard about Sophia, that actually are the first robot with citizenship - but have they seen Hatsune Miku ?

It'd be great to see them react to optical illusions like the Peripheral Drift images.

Kudos. These are smart folk. I have a university degree, I'm in my 50s, and these ARE hard concepts to fully grasp.

Oh, that alone was already so much information for them. just explaning, that every star (almost) is a sun, is mindblowing if you hear it the first time. (not to mension the picture with the thousands universes on it, made by hubble. the speed of light is also a big topic. they had to swallow it all at once. ^^ i hope, that they will understand it good and be happy about it. but sometimes even I am overwhelmed by the universe and the stars or just the moon.

Show them the planet and stars size comparison video!

These people are so intellgent yet have lived a life without the education we have. Them being able to understand these concepts after a life without them is so amazing

This is very ambitious, and I congratulate all of you for trying it. I'm not an expert, but I did study astronomy, so if you need help with anything, I would be happy to assist.

Good Lord, Bro! You’re teaching them at light speed. Parvati’s going from learning that we all share one Earth to cosmology in a couple of videos. It might impress Abdul to think of how incredible God must be to create such a vast, dynamic universe, which we can only observe in the past. I’m not a religious person, but I do find it wonderful that our existence on Earth coincides with our sun and moon being just the right size and distance from Earth to sometimes give us a fantastic solar eclipse. A few million years earlier or later, and the moon would be the wrong distance, giving only annular eclipses or covering too much.

You are doing a great Job, i love to see the joy in these brothers and sisters eyes as you explain things to them. I can literally feel how their Minds and Hearts expand and touch each other. Bring us together in harmony, the world, the universe, god is so incredible mind-bending huge, we are all part of that "one" thing, we all gather information and perspectives on this "one". We don't want to "become" god, in a literal sense and force that "god-power" onto others, we want to share "gods mindset", "gods nature" and act in accordance to that, we say we are the universe experiencing itself. As they describe that god hides things from us, it challenges us to learn and understand about it, not to "hide" anything forever; but to grow our wisdom, minds and hearts to overcome that feeling of disconnection. We are one, I am you and you are me. ³³ Greetings from an Austrian Engineer, salute👋
