Hey Cody, just wanted to let you know that you turned me into a complete nerd back when i was watching you when i was like 11, im now 17. Im really grateful for that. Hope you're doing well man, you've taught me loads over the years and got me interested in science along with some other youtubers like Styropyro and Nilered. I really wish to see you live happily doing what you love whatever that may be, and hope you find success in whatever you do! Thats all I wanted to comment, happy youtubing. Not sure if anyone will ever read this.
The same as me, now i am 19 now. And i am still amazed that cody is still providing us this content and i am thankful for every minute of his videos. It’s making me happy that someone else is thinking about this too. Many greetings from Germany, and have a nice day.
Same thing for me. I started watching Cody when I was 10 and I'm now 16. Totally got me interested in science and that is the career path I want to take. Cody has changed my life and given me an advantage in school
Same for me. I'm 37 now. I could basically understand and excelled at science when I was in school, but people like Cody have helped me understand exactly why certain things happen, especially when it comes to chemistry. Good to know that the next generation still has a group of people excited about knowledge. I wish you all the best Cheers from Texas
Hey, man I'm very glad to hear that! I'm 29 and I started watching him in 2011 when I barely understood any English, and he got me very interested in fossils and geology but especially chemistry. With his videos he also has taught me some English! This guy is realest RU-vidr staying real for longest. But your comment made me genuinely happy that there is influencers who actually has positive impact on young peoples lives. Keep going man!
Hey, Cody. I've heard of a pigment used between the time of prehistoric Egypt until around the year 800AD, where the method of manufacture was lost. It's called Egyptian Blue, and its method of manufacture was investigated by Humphry Davy in 1815, but he couldn't quite crack it. Then, in the 1980's, the method of manufacture was pretty much rediscovered, but with a few discrepancies. The recipe is to mix together silica (60-70%), calcium oxide (7-15%), and copper oxide (10-20%), and then to heat this mixture to between 800C-1000C for several hours. The result is cuprorivaite, water, and carbon dioxide. Most Egyptian samples seemed to have an excess of silica, AND an excess of either copper oxide OR calcuim oxide. Maybe an idea for a video? To remake Egyptian Blue and see what effects changing the composition has, and maybe seeing why the Egyptians used an excess of silica along with an excess of either copper or calcium. Could be interesting, since it's so weird that something so well known for nearly 4000 years and something so simple to make could be forgotten about. Maybe an idea for a video?
Cody is a geologist. The first geologists predated the first college courses taught by geologists. Learning about geology in a college course is one way to become a geologist. Just being a geologist and doing geologist things is another.
Cody is a RU-vid legend, you can tell in his videos that the production style he uses is quite different from most other modern RU-vidrs. I appreciate that, it gives the audience time to think and absorb, and the pace is just so much more enjoyable. Thanks for all your awesome videos over the years Cody, I have learned a lot!
Totally agreed, the lack of extensive quick-cuts make content like this so much more enjoyable. The natural pauses help convey information just as much as the words do
Really good to see you again, Cody! I miss your frequent uploads. No pressure on ya intended, life gets hard on us all. But just know that a great many of us love seeing you and hearing what you have to share and what you are thinking about. Even if you don't think there's much content we all still love what ya give us.
A trick to writing on a glass in front of a camera is to just mirror the video. This allows you to draw and weight so you can read it from your side and then when mirrored it will be correct for us as well.
Don't worry Cody. I graduated with a BS in Geology in 2017 from Sac State and I've never been able to find a job in my field, so you're not missing much.
@@stevexracer4309 id rather our taxes pay for education and healthcare than corporate bailouts or tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. Anyhow pretty much all of our taxes go into the blackhole that is the defense budget but u have no problem w/ that
Love Codys new look. He looks more at peace and more focused. I know he has been through a lot and I wish him the very best. Keep up the good fight Cody!! We appreciated all your time and efforts sharing your knowledge and life experience.
@@AdrC680 He went through a very hard divorce. I have been down that road and he is lucky to still be with us. He has a heart of gold, I think, and deserves good friends and family. Hope he continues to move forward and finds the support that he needs to continue. Thanks for your reply.
@@MeatBattery damn i suspected it was breakup related. I nist cant see the same spirit and calmness as before. Will always support him and wish i was as smart as him lol
Cody, you’ve managed to raise many points I wouldn’t even have considered. You’ve clearly put a lot of thought into this video, and you’ve gotten me hyped for all the new discoveries we’ll make. Let’s see where this one goes!
I watched the whole video without blinking. My girlfriend joined me halfway and was fascinated with the presentation of such unusual topic. Looking forward to see more of your videos!
Cody, you're looking so healthy! Way to go! Just told my wife that you inspire me intellectually regularly when you post videos but you've also inspired me to get into shape too! Thank you!
I did not realize the Earth’s atmosphere reached anywhere near the Moon! I also never really thought about how solar winds carry those particles directly to the Moon. Thanks for the new insight Cody!
It's very thin out there. Space isn't really truly "empty" its just that the amount of particles in space is incredibly low. But incredibly low is more than 0 and over huge distances and billions of years... Adds up
Same here! That just blew my mind to think of the record we could possibly discover there. My next thought was addressed about 21:00, do the science before touching the resources. All I could think of was photos of GIANT sequoias loaded on flat bed railcars back in the day(💔). Now, I want to see something like the Antarctic stations there to do coring and insitu evaluations. NASA, make it so! 🖖😎
@@Mallchad well it's all relative. Irs basically empty from our perspective but from deep space there is still a mind bogglingly huge amount of things going on out there.
@@infernaldaedra Yeah. It still is. basically empty as far as humans are concerned. But maybe we should pay more attention to the stuff in vaccum. Reminds me that space smells kinda like burnt steak because of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that stick to the space suit and you can smell it when you get back. Also everything is just really charged in general and it causes stuff like attractive dust on the moon. All because of *stuff* in space.
Personally I've always learnt more about science than any of my actual science teachers have ever taught me, you may not have a degree but all of your research and experiments I'll trust over anyone with a piece of paper. Your the man that made me pursue a career in SCIENCE (opposite side of the coin aka engineering but you get the picture)
The fact that everything you drew, or wrote was done from behind the glass. basically a mirror image, was not lost on me. that takes a level of skill most people would not only miss, because you did it so well, but most people will never be able to comprehend how hard that actually is, unless they were to try it.
I'm not really surprised he didn't do the easy way of drawing it normally from his view and then mirroring the video itself. Cody seems like the type of guy that does things the hard way just to challenge himself.
He also wrote/drew most of it left handed. and he is not left handed nor naturally ambidextrous. He had a video a while back about teaching himself to write with his off hand as well as writing with both hands at the same time.
@@viciousfish6145 That or he's playing the double trick of pretending to need to check that he wrote it correctly, though I'd side with Occam on this one. I didn't bother to pay close enough attention to the marker labels to see if they were mirrored or not.
@@shawnk3401 When I broke my right wrist, and was forced to go left handed for a while, even simple stuff like brushing my teeth was challenging for me.
Something which Cody mentioned briefly that I find very exciting is that if we can detect things like supernova effects on the moon, and can figure out a reasonably accurate timeline of when that happened, then reference that to the fossil record on the earth and see what effects could have been caused at the time.
I knew about the deposits likely to be in the permadark craters, but I hadn't considered the value they would have for archaeologically reconstructing events on earth... That could be huge for filling out details about various mass extinction events.
Science was my worse subject in school, but I was always the most interested in science. Forever watching your channel to get my fix on learning science I cannot practice myself.
Such an amazing video! Thank you so much for uploading this!!! You could be an AMAZING teacher Cody, your knowledge is vast and touches a lot of fields!!
Another amazing video! I learned so much and one thing I've just noticed, even though I've been subscribed for years, is that your videos seem to be largely unscripted but always great.. thank you so much for taking the time to make these video Cody . You are an awesome human being.
You don't need a stupid piece of paper or time spent in a fluorescent lit classroom to say you are something. you just need experience and a passion for the field. your RU-vid channel is 100 percent evidence of your experience and passion. Please never stop showing your love for science its contagious.
Wow this is absolutely fascinating I never realised how much we can learn about “simple things” from the regolith and rocks on our lunar neighbour. Also I really appreciate the amount of effort you put in to trying to write backwards so we can read what you’ve written! Thanks as always Cody I was looking forward to you doing a video on the Artemis mission!
I LOVE your take on this. Your perspective and how you see things and how you break down concepts in a way that’s kind of refreshing. It’s very intelligent and breath of fresh air. I appreciate it!
I have been watching your RU-vid channel for such a long time, though I was a shadow subscriber for many of those years. You, single handedly and without fail, have excited my imagination on countless occasions. Furthermore, you’ve always been there for me when I was looking to connect with another that shared a deeply scientific interest. - Thank you for keeping your chin up through the years. You have an excellent head on your shoulders.
very informative and interesting content. thank you sir, for another great video. i have been watching your content for about 5 or 6 years now and i can say i have never been bored by one of your presentations. i always enjoy seeing that you have a new upload.
Cody, this video was awesome. I am a lot more excited now about Artemis than I was beforehand! Watching your face as you tried to write backwards for us was also such a mood lmao and thank you for the orang boy closeup
Thank you Cody. I was already excited about us going back to the moon (finally), and this video gave me even more excitement and respect for what knowledge the moon could have in store for us.
Absolutely loved this video! I learned a lot from it. While I find it logical how much information is preserved in the rock layers of the moon it never occurred to me. I was always a lot more interested in the Mars missions that are planned, but this actually convinced me how awesome it is to go the moon! (besides it being cool that we are on the moon, obv.). Also I like your presentation style. Not taking the easy route and just drawing everything from your perspective and flipping the image later on, but challenging yourself to write it from our perspective. It's unique and I enjoy it. :)
Been watching you for many many years Cody, proud to see your growth, knowledge, and entertaining and knowledgeable videos through time. Thank you. -Tristan
Dude you looking great and healthy man. Been watching you a long time and you are looking fresh. Keep them vids coming buddy, been a pleasure being entertained and educated over all these long years.
Cody seeing you change is very similar to seeing my older brother turn into a man in front of my eyes. I hope to change as brilliantly and uniquely as you and my older brother.
Thank you for making such great content Cody! I've been watching for years and I still get so excited to see a new video from you. I wish RU-vid was better about letting me know when you upload - I hope they're not doing you dirty!
Really fascinating stuff and really well explained. For some reason RU-vid stopped suggestion your videos and I lost track of you. I am glad to see you are still doing well! All the best.
Dude, I'm realy excited right now! I didn't know there is so much cool stuff going right there. I feel like a child reading adventure book about hidden treasure. That glass board is a clever idea and it's pretty funny. You're going better at it.
You do good at this science stuff... You teach by showing and sharing, and ironically, it shows... lol. Keep up the good work, I know the endless hours of editing may seem a great off putting labor, but many of us are grateful for your effort. Thank you
In my book Cody is more credentialed, and cares more about those paying attention to his content, than 80%+ of university professors in America circa 2008+
Thanks for sharing. Your theories sounds solid. I'm curious about how it is distinguished if particles in layers from being created & those older ones which were kicked up by newer impacts...?
@@theCodyReeder Presumably also once it has penetrated the surface areas and sticks, there's no significant atmospheric pressure difference to make it rise or diffuse, and even the small gravity well of the moon should be enough to keep it there
@@stevexracer4309 by the time of Apollo they knew that wasn't the case. Both the soviets and the americans had landed unmanned spacecraft. On of the very first images ( ithink the actual first one) taken by Surveyor 1 was of it's own landing legs to see how deep they were sunk in. Which was not at all. But you need some "plate" to not poke into the ground. And the LM was way bigger and heavier than one usually thinks.
Cool video! While writing on the glass, I was started to wonder if you perhaps ever tried reversing the video left to right during edit (i.e. mirror). Might make it easier to write on the glass normally when recording and then flip reverse text for the video. Thanks for the videos, they're great!
Don't worry Cody, while you might not have a degree yourself, you inspired countless people like me to pursue science. Many of your viewers might even have two or more degrees (hopefully this will include me soon, when I get my Master of biochemistry). Even if you only contributed a tiny fraction per degree, that's already much more than one degree that you managed to achieve
I have been asking myself why im so much interested in Cody's videos and love his way of understandation in science, It happens to be something in common, ADHD i guess. We're built differently so the procedures, school, articles etc. are way less motivating to deal. People do and like comprehending stuff in the very core does tend to have rough time with the academy and other stuff.
@@raxwrax6305 Dude even flat earthers gave proof for spin when they bought a very expensive gyroscope. About gas: everything is accelerating towards earth here because of gravity. Gas is not moving at escape velocity (12km/s), it is moving at around 0.4km/s. So the gas just falls down to earth because of gravity, until it collides with other gas, so it becomes quite a thick layer of air, with increasing density the lower you go. it doesn't fly away magically. If you have a big container (could be as small as a room though) then you could measure difference in air pressure because the gas on top is laying on top of the gas below it. With you mobile phone you might be able to download an app to measure air pressure. Then you can measure that when you hold your phone at your ceiling, the pressure is lower than when you have your phone on the ground: air density just decreases with altitude. It keeps decreasing until it reaches nearly completely zero at very high altitude.
I like how items from past experiments show up in the background of your videos to say "hey" every now and again. It's feels like when cartoon characters make cameos in series' or films that they didn't originally belong to. For example, Totoro appearing in Toy Story with no explanation or acknowledgement whatsoever. He's just there and we're happy to see him. Hello, past experiments! You served us well.
Cody I hope you decide to finish college. I got stuck for a while in a stupor from personal stuff including deaths and relationships, and just finished up my degree last December. The sense of accomplishment and completeness it gave me felt like I finally closed that chapter of my life and could be at peace. I hope you find that too. You’re a good man.
Cody, just here to say your channel is the one I like the most. I have been watching you for a long time and have watched almost all of your videos, and they are the one I wait the most on RU-vid. I am from Brasil, but I really hope to meet you someday, we have so many things in common that I think you are a friend I couldn't find near me.
You know, I'm a hell of a geology nerd myself (not formally studying it but I do spend copious amounts of time to learn stuff about rocks, minerals, volcanology, plate tectonics, the geologic history of earth, etc.) and I must say I've never heard/considered most of this stuff. Absolutely fascinating, and I too now hope this gets thoroughly studied. Many mysteries could be solved simply by getting more accurate and precise data about the history of Earth and the solar system. I'm also really hoping they'll study some of the most recent moon volcanism, iirc there's some potentially Cretaceous aged volcanics (small of course, not like the massive basalt plains from billions of years ago) that could really use some formal exploration.
By the way, when you're working on a transparency, just do it in your normal writing and flip the video in editing. Makes it way easier to write 🤣. Cool stuff Cody, love your channel.
@@hleth4888 I've never done it, but streaming software can almost certainly flip video in realtime. Your selfy camera does, why couldn't a "normal" computer
Cody, you may not have finished in college yet you have so much insight that half of graduates lack. Awesome channel through and through. And, you are a professional through application.
