Why Does a Guitar Sound Like A Guitar?
The winter and summer solstices are on the opposite sides of the sun and looking opposite directions, so for this to make sense, all the stars and constellations would have to orbit the sun as well. That blows the planet theory to pieces
Not sure I see how solstices occur “looking” in a particular direction or how they relate to other stars in the sky. Solstices are just a relationship between the Earth and sun
But the Earth travels in an orbit 186 million miles in diameter. The north star would have to travel in EXACTLY the same orbit for this to maintain. That destroys the planet theory. The axis would have to stay tilted slightly towards the sun at all times for the planet theory to work
I recently reset my tastebuds. Sugar and fat taste psychologically different after that. While vegetables and lean meats taste better now.
I first looked into this in 2009 and was fascinated. There are of course two other 3D shapes that can be a 3D “shadow” of a 4D object. One is the Klein bottle. One that I like more is the Rhombic Dodecahedron. There is a video that states it is also the Sixth Platonic Solid (in 4D). I’m still trying to find out more about this such as when and where this was discovered. I wrote a short story in 2011 that included the cubic tesseract but I rotated it to appear like a spider web. I enjoyed your presentation very much. 👍
When I look at a tesseract I see a big cube with a smaller cube inside of it and held in place by 4 arms starting at the 4 inner corners of the big cube to the 4 outer corners of the little cube perfectly centered inside the big cube. Is this what other people see?
You are a gifted teacher! Excellent explanations with great modeling. I wish I had bumped into your channel earlier. You are going to be the next Smarter Every Day or Veritasium!!
Now I understand!
I’ve NEVER in my life, heard of anyone who thought atomic clocks are radioactive. I DID have a grandfather who believed that people were going to die unpleasantly if they were foolish enough to eat food that was cooked in a microwave. This was a long time ago. Back then a microwave cost about $2,000; his second reason for not wanting one...
Beware the nuked food!! ☢️☢️ lol
Another great vid!! Keep ‘em coming!!
Thank you!
Inwards & outwards.
Challenge: Have three exactly snchronized atomic clocks running at the very same speed in your stationary lab. Send one up to the moon, send the other flying in earth's orbit. They will then run at different speeds. Thats weird but has an explanation which lies buried in how spacetime works in different distances from earth, on the moon and also if these clocks are (all three are!) moving within spacetime. This also is valid for any other type of clock (analog/mechanic/quarz)

It would have been great...
Thank you so much. You really explained it very well. It was an enlightening experience for me too. Please make a video on optical atomic clocks.
I remember having a phone app that would let me point my phone at the sky and it would help identify all the objects that I could see. Venus was by far the most common object I observed. I always thought it was so cool to be able to see it with the naked eye. Could be cool to try and get some sponsors for apps like that. I'm sure many here would love to see cool ways we could utilize easily accessible technology to dive deeper into your content!
That is a great idea, thank you for the suggestion :)
Great video! Your production value is spot on and your delivery is intriguing! Keep it up!
Much appreciated!
I just found this channel and I love it man! You're the next Vsauce!
Haha, thanks!
I’m a satellite systems engineer who happened to stumble on your channel, and the 3D infographic you made to show how 4 satellites are needed to eliminate positional and temporal uncertainty is the best I’ve ever seen. Much better than anything I’ve picked up online or in textbooks. Your content is fantastic, keep it up!
Thank you so much! I’m glad the explanation was effective :)
Interesting! so the cesium or rubidum just serves as a detector mechanism. Great vid. Love ur editing and style.
GPS gives accurate time as well as position. That is why our iPhones keep such accurate time.
Get an Apple watch. It will be as accurate as an Atomic Clock.
But your Apple watch is correct only because there is a time source provided by an atomic clock.
Nice!:)
Clickbait
😂
This explains how the clock keeps extremely accurate time, but how does it get synchronized in the first place?
Synchronized how? Generally, we define some time to begin with and set all the clocks based around that time.
I I’ve always wanted to know this thank you for giving me a great explanation you’ve earned a subscriber
Not quite right mate…the cube moving through a 2D plane does NOT look like a square to a 2D plane inhabitant. Only a 3D person can look DOWN upon the plane to see a square. The plane inhabitant sees only the nearest edge of the square…so it looks like a line. He CAN move around the shape to understand it is a square, but not see it. It is the analogous concept to us understanding a 3D shape even though we don’t see all its surfaces at once.
who win?
Next video with the winner coming today or tomorrow!
I've watched 4 of your videos in a row. Simple. Slow. and Greattttt explanations and comparisions. like WOW!
Thank you!
I'd appreaciate it if you'd link the article where you found that simulation in the description. Also, if I were you I'd introduce the slices of the tesseracts by rotating it so that is goes through our world side first, making a rectangular prism (analagous to the rectangle formed when passing a cube edge-first into a 2D world).
This is also why it's possible to fill a garbage bag with a single breath of air!
Ben, you have a great way of explaining things that make it easier to understand difficult concepts. Keep it up!
But we are also spinning around the sun; how do they remain the same ?!? Even my science teacher couldn’t understand why they always stayed the same. I’m still looking for an explanation
Thats just not how it work. JI is not bound to only 12 notes.
Thank you for making videos! UA-cam has been recommending me a lot of smaller channel recently, and I love it! You have a lot of potential. The content hits a good balance between informational, yet entertaining and funny.
This is 🧢
The Sun makes up 99.8% of the mass of our solar system, with Jupiter making up most of the remaining 0.2%.
Pretty crazy! I did know that the percentage was in this area. Now, here's my impression of the average UA-cam commenter, "The sun is actually 99.86% of the solar system's mass, so that actually round to 99.9% if you use one decimal place." XD
The Kuiper Belt, a region of icy bodies beyond Neptune, is thought to contain many small, undiscovered planets.
Very true! I did however already know this from my previous video on why Pluto isn't a planet
Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, which stands at a height of 27 km (17 mi).
Yes, Olympus Mons! Unfortunately for you, Mars was my favorite planet as a kid so I knew that!
1 The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is a storm that has been raging for at least 150 years. 2. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, with surface temperatures reaching up to 462°C (863°F).
True! I knew both of these however **evil laughter**
The Fact The Sun is actually white, not yellow. It appears yellow to us because our atmosphere scatters the shorter wavelengths of light, making it appear more yellow.
This is a really cool fact, and I want to give you the prize, but a friend of mine in 20th century physics class talked to me about this a few months ago and how this can interfere with measuring the temperature of the sun from the ground. So I already knew it :(
Fun Fact: Jupiter's Red Spot is preficted to disappear in the mext 10 years. Another icon of the solar system that will disapper are Saturn's Rings, but that will take a few million years
I couldn't count this one because I didn't see any evidence to support it online. I saw that it is expected to reduce in size in the coming decades, but it's unlikely to disappear entirely. Some estimates on the spot's disappearance put it in a couple decades, but others put it in the next few centuries
Man I've been thinking about this recently The "perfectly" tuned scale just sounds so off and sickly to me, like it actually feels like im about to throw up and my senses are getting fucked. I've become so accustomed to 12 tet (at least on piano) that the timbre change is actually grating.
Fun fact! The word asteroid comes from the latin root aster, meaning star and the root -oid which means alike or similar, this is because big asteroids observed from earth looked like stars but clearly were something different.
This comment almost won because I didn't know this, but aster is a greek root. Sorry to get pedantic on you :/
@@OnTheShouldersofScience To be even more pedantic, the Latin root aster comes from Greek astḗr. The English language use of the declination is Latin, not Greek. The suffix -oid, is also Latin (Even though again, it is borrowed from the Hellenistic -oīdēs). But if you want to get even more ridiculous, the classical period astḗr originates from the Proto-Indo-European, linguists have reconstructed the word as *h₂stḗr, which is a combination of the prefix *h₂e(h₁)s and the suffix *-tḗr, meaning something around the lines of "to burn" and "shiny". I don't think Sir William Herschel, the astronomer who coined the term, was really considering Proto-Indo-European or ancient Greek when he came up with the word. In fact it is far more likely that he looked through the lentis (genitive of the Latin origin for lens) of his then called telescopium (another Latin word with Greek roots) and decided to use the academic language he was very familiar with (Latin) to name the peculiar object he observed.
@@jaimeirigoyenlopez5884 Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I’ve done some more digging and found that contrary to popular opinion, Herschel didn’t actually coin the term asteroid. Herschel had discovered these new celestial objects, but couldn’t settle on a good name. There are some old letters that show how Herschel asked his friend, Charles Burney Sr., for some suggestions. He suggested “asteriskos” and “stellula” and then wrote to his son asking for his opinion. Charles Burney Jr. was a Greek scholar, and he suggested “asteroid.” Herschel liked that one the best and so published his paper using it. So Burney would have had the Greek roots in mind when naming it.
@@OnTheShouldersofScience Wow! It seems like you are absolutely right! I've been humbled and I've learned some extra cool fact. Thank you!
from the number of views and subscribers on this channel, it's either new or it's super criminally underrated!, there's no way such an accurate, to-the-point content would have such low numbers, I know other channels from the same genre that would give the same amount of information in a 30-minute-video and half of it would be inaccurate... you've got yourself a subscriber 😉
Thank you so much! Still trying to grow
If you think the night sky on Earth is beautiful, then you might be wondering what it looks like on our own moon. But you won't really even see anything on there since our moon is full of dust and some ice which are pretty reflective. So instead of an assumed sky full of stars('cause you're a sky~ 'cause you're a sky full of stars, I'm gonna give you my heart~~), all you're gonna see is just Earth, plain old Earth...that is 4.543 billion years old. LOL!
This is interesting. There does seem to be some evidence that there is a sparse dust cloud covering the moon, but evidence is inconclusive. Apollo astronauts however, as you say, could not see other stars in the sky. This more more probably because their eyes were adjusted to the harsh sunlight reflecting off the white moon making their eyes not sensitive enough to detect stars. So it was not necessarily because of dust and ice. On the dark side however, you will probably be able to see more stars than anyone can on Earth.
Did you know that there's a possibility of a ninth planet lurking at the edge of our solar system? This hypothetical planet, often referred to as "Planet Nine" or "Planet X," is thought to be several times more massive than Earth and may orbit the Sun from a distance much farther than Neptune's orbit. Its existence is inferred from the peculiar orbits of some distant objects in the Kuiper Belt, but as of now, it remains undiscovered.
Déjà vu

This was a theory for a while, but it has since been disproven
Have you ever seen children doodles about our sun, and coloring them in weird colors like green or black or blue? You know, some of them might be right! Despite most common belief, our sun isn’t red, orange, or yellow! Instead, if it were, you won’t be reading this right now. Our sun is actually green. It appears to be all those different colors due to the molecules in our atmosphere!
I believe there are more green photons emitted from the sun than any other color, but this is very different than the sun being green
What would you say if I ask you what is the color of Neptune? Your first instinct might be blue, or more accurate, dark blue. Now I’ll ask you again. What is the color of Uranus? You might say blue again, or more precise, light blue. But in reality Neptune is actually also light blue! NASA just re-colored to make the Great Dark Spot more noticeable to the human eye.
