X-Ray Vision
A few hundred years ago the night sky seemed to be be a quiet and far place.
But with the help of instruments derived from the ever improving technologies we are now able to see thing the way we couldn't see before.
Join me Dex DFX in this episode of Celestial Sphere as we explore the universe that we can not see with our naked eyes.

How we land spacecraft on celestial bodies (part 1)
Переглядів 2,9 тис.11 місяців тому
Over the past 50 years, humans have visited just about every type of celestial body in the Solar system. And in many cases we've even landed on them. However each landing has to be handled differently based on the environment and the payload that's being delivered. Join me in this episode of Celestial Sphere as we take a look at the principals and methods we use to land on these celestial bodie...

Dreaming of Space Travel

Humans going into space and orbiting the earth is something that happens routinely these days. Even though it's a really a small step when it comes to travelling among the stars, this small was just a dream 150 years ago. The knowledge of many people contributed to the designs of the machines that got us where we are so today. We are still far from travelling among the stars but still, getting ...

This was amazing and informative thanks!
13:26 just a thought, is this experiment cause of wrongfully associating cold temperature with blue color and hot temperature to red color?
Good point. It could be. I myself associated blue with being cold from large bodies of water(ocean, lakes, iceberg).
@@ReflectiveLayerFilmYes that's also possible.
8:55 this chart is so simple yet most informative 👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. Long video is special treat for us 🙏🏻
Great stuff as always!
Thanks again!
If you enjoy or learn something from this video please leave a like and a comment if you have any. This is my longest video yet. Hope it's not too long. The next video will continue the journey of Curiosity in the fictional word of Free Return Trajectory. It will be out before the end of the year. Thanks for watching and supporting this channel. A Science Channel without hyping up the science.
Leads perfectly into your Gravity Probe B video! This is some great content, keep it coming!!!
Hell yeah
hell yeah
2:35 Why's Earth mirrored
Good catch. I didn't notice. I think I already had the gyro animation pointing to the left and the earth images was cut off on the left. So I had to move it to right and then flip it so no not show where it is cut off.
Wow, this video is brilliant! Subscribed!
You lost Magnetic interaction with the earths magnetic field when it it was made a superconducter. Should have just use the electrostatic charge on the sphere for measuring drift. I don't believe this experiment is valid because of the magnetic interaction. Also could have use optical interference (inferometer Sagnac effect). "The Sagnac effect, also called Sagnac interference, named after French physicist Georges Sagnac, is a phenomenon encountered in interferometry that is elicited by rotation. The Sagnac effect manifests itself in a setup called a ring interferometer or Sagnac interferometer"
Very informative and thorough. One fact I had learned about the quartz spheres, is that they were manufactured in hemispheres. When the halves were brought together, the matching faces had been machined so perfectly that they immediately bonded atomically.
That pump rotates in wrong direction.
Yes. It's noted in the full video.
Do you guys think Boeing is going to get a giant water bill since its their fault two people are up there on an extended vacation sucking down water? Makes me feel better about the time my water main broke...
Heck... It might be easier at this point to just modify/upgrade humans to not require so much water and food.
I don't know man.... We don't even know if particle is a wave or if the wave is a particle. This seems like shooting bullets into the ocean to find out 😂 In all seriousness though. Great presentation. I'm curious how they supported the gyro rotor during the launch of the probe. No way electrostatic forces could overcome such intense linear acceleration. Or am I wrong?
Good question. Maybe electrostatic can be strong enough. One thing I forgot to say in the video is the sphere shouldn't touch anything when it's spinning. So it could be safe if it's well supported during launch, then the electrostatic kicks when in orbit and finally the helium jet spins it.
🤯
The precision that can be applied to these types of sensors is astonishing, to say the least. The only problem I have is when the scientists feel the need to introduce 'modeling' into the answer to correct for variability. Modeling is a specious approximation, in my opinion, and the freedom used to apply the math is questionable.
sounds like overengineering
The polarity of "at worst:at best" cannot be questionable: proven ... Logical impossibility
I wonder why they didnt make the sphere out of silicon… like how they just changed the kilogram standard to a perfect sohere of silicon. And i think it’s practically atomically perfect.
Very interesting. I like the "how stuff works" explanation of the experiment.
My brother New York MTA Kelvin Morris needs to keep his cocky family to himself who cares except God
Very nice - thanks!
I watched the launch of Gravity Probe B. Leave a like or comment if you were there too.
Man, the levels of cleverness piled upon cleverness here is just amazing. So many different things have to be tuned to the absolute n’th degree doe the system to work - hats off to the people who actually fabbed the thing and made it work!
Cool. Can’t wait for the next episode! 😮
You desperately need to get yourself a pop filter. Nothing personal, I wanted to watch, with misophonia it just makes mouth noises (for me, personally, other people have others) a weird kind of torture.
Why not use your natural voice?
Commenting for the algorithm. Amazing video! :)
What a great channel. You are reflecting so much knowledge and every viewer is absorbing it like sponge. 😊🙏🏻
Did the idea for this come from a short paper by Einstein where he has a list of experiments, any of which would prove his theory false?
Glad you're highlighting these devices. Taking extremely sensitive instruments and putting them in the harsh environment of outer space is under appreciated
Whoa ... Planning on leaving already ? Nice ending
Great job, thank you
So well done, thank you
It'd be better just to use many sub-perfect gyroscopes, and test if their deviations statistically support frame dragging. This design's complexity introduces multiple points of potential failure. For example, eddy currents induced within the coating could undermine confidence in the results. A statistical test would be more robust and provide measurable confidence. Anyway, excellent video!
7:32 what about oscilation?
I keep hearing horses rather than forces… it would really be something if we discovered gravitational horses… lol maybe they measure acceleration due to gravity… gravitational horse power… also why does that room look so darn attractive in the reflection of the sphere? lol🤦
Im curious why they didn't use the refractive properties of quartz to measure its spin optically?
Page 1:42 that frame dragging is a fancy term for Aether drag. Aether is an incompressible fluid that filled all void space in vacuum of universe. Aether has no mechanical but electrical property, by which vacuum permittivity and permeability are its attributes. As it attached to all matter it “drag” and move in equal velocity with matter in the near field, also drift with another velocity in the far field or deep space a velocity in average to all matter in the universe, hence the term “fluid”. A rough analogy is the harbor current versus ocean current or deep sea current. Also if you don’t mind, gravity, inertia and centrifugal forces are also attributes of Aether. Unfortunately it has been foolishly dismissed from the science community.
Instant sub, commenting for the algo
who’s voice is this?
I remember seeing the video on the menu who put this project together. This was a long project that took place over outlasted the lifetimes of its original project creators. I think one of the original creators sons got someone to finance the final stage of the project that started when he was a child to honor his dad's death.
Sorry for the autocorrect I meant to say men not menu.
Yes, I think it was like 50 years in the making. The final stage of the project was financed by an organization in Saudi Arabia.
Excellent video and superb explanation. Thank you.
Using the quasar seems more stable.
This channel is criminally underrated!!
WOWZA! WOWZA! WOWZA!
