On October 14th, the largest planetary spacecraft ever built was launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida. NASA’s Europa Clipper has begun a 6-year journey to one of the four big moons of Jupiter.
An intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri?
Переглядів 5253 місяці тому
Seven stars at the heart of the giant globular cluster Omega Centauri are moving so fast, Hubble observations have shown, that it may be that only an intermediate-mass black hole can keep them from escaping.
The Future Circular Collider: a step closer to reality
Переглядів 8759 місяців тому
CERN is pressing ahead with plans to build a colossal new particle collider on the Swiss-French border. The Future Circular Collider (FCC) would be more than 3 times the size of the Large Hadron Collider - the machine used to discover the Higgs boson in 2012.

LHS 3154b: the planet that's too big for its star
Переглядів 83611 місяців тому
Astronomers have found a planet, called LHS 3154b, that seems to be far too big for the star that it’s going around. The planet in question is at least 13 times as massive as Earth but it orbits a star that weighs 9 times less than the Sun. The discovery seems to fly in the face of current theories of planet formation. My other UA-cam channels: The Science Fiction Rock Experience (the music sho...
HD110067: the perfect planetary system
Переглядів 9 тис.11 місяців тому
Astronomers have discovered what they’re describing as the “perfect solar system” - six planets orbiting their star in gravitational lockstep. These half-dozen worlds go around the Sun-like star HD 110067, which lies about 100 light-years away.

Voids are the vast, bubble-like regions between cosmic walls and filaments. They’re the emptiest parts of the universe - although not entirely empty.

The Amaterasu particle: ultra-high-energy cosmic ray from the void
Переглядів 13 тис.11 місяців тому
The second most powerful cosmic ray ever found has been detected by a telescope array in the West Desert of Utah. Named the Amaterasu particle after the Sun goddess in Japanese mythology, it had an energy of 2.4 million trillion electronvolts, equivalent to that of a golf ball travelling at 95 miles per hour. Only the Oh-My-God particle, detected 30 years earlier, packed a bigger punch. My othe...
Fermions

All elementary particles belong to one of two great families: the fermions and the bosons. I dealt with bosons in another video, so this one is devoted to fermions, which were named by Paul Dirac after Enrico Fermi.

Collier's magazine on the conquest of space
Переглядів 35911 місяців тому
On March 22nd, 1952, an issue of Collier’s magazine went on sale in the US that sparked widespread public interest in rocketry and space travel. A series of six lavishly-illustrated articles set out a future, based on science not science fiction, in which humans would build a space station in Earth orbit and then journey on to the Moon and Mars. “Man will conquer space soon!” the magazine procl...

The Tasmanian Devil: surprising behaviour of a luminous fast blue optical transient

A team of astronomers has reported that an LFBOT known as the Tasmanian Devil flashed brilliantly again in December 2022 and then again and again - a total of 14 times over a 120-day period, each event lasting only minutes.

Generation ships: slow-boats to the stars

If you don’t have the means to move anywhere near the speed of light and you want to send people to the stars, how can you do it? One way would be in a generation ship - an immense, relatively slow-moving spacecraft, also known as an interstellar ark, aboard which many generations would live and die on a voyage across the light-years.

I love your stuff!!
I absolutely love how it’s a computer that has bench seating over the lower components. Pretty cool man, it’s like a sunken living room computer sorta vibe.
Whats with all the old people saying "Without cray". Yes yes we get it boomer.
I think Pauli got it wrong and this is particles overlapping.
what a brilliant perspective
I'm gonna max out all my credit cards
Simple EARTHQUAKE, VOLCANOES AND TUSAMIS WORLD WIDE . THIS IS WHY CLIMATE CHANGE IS HAPPENING
that's wild.. 🎃
I should run a Vampire the Masquerade game sometime.
I always enjoy your info on new Science. Thank you and we missed you !!
Thank you. I've been busy over the past year or so with my latest book but more videos are now on the way!
The Tavistock team behind the original "monkey boy band" really wrote some great tunes! Well done.
I didn't know it was heavier than big daddy Cassini! surprising.
I think had he ever tried to analyze it logically, he would have started writing his own music.
Thank you for this video. We always seek information from professionals not influencers.
Nothing about the earths weakening magnnetic field which will cause the flip? You dont know what youre talking about!
Its not a reversal its a shift! new northpole will be at bay of Bengal
780 000 years ago? It happens every 12000 and that is within aprox from today and 10 years forward
It would be funny to see the same code run on each. ...KRUSH...
It would have been interesting to include their respective inflation-adjusted prices.
My father was the lead in the team for CDC (control data corporation) cyber 205 and prior from 1976-mid 1980’s heading the team who programed and engineered the first ever 7-10 day weather forecast that didn’t take more than the time predicted to calculate and then the Cray (cray research) machines that held the record for fastest scientific computing from mid 1980s to about 1990 when he co-founded SSI (super computer systems inc) with Steve Chen and again held the record for fasted and most powerful super computer before the original was struck by lightning that jumped from the grounding rod and entered the facility destroying the prototype. To this day I have the cardboard punch cards that were necessary to do the multiplication table from 1-100 on the Cyber 205. This certainly brings up memories from my childhood through teenage years.

It seems like the demon core wasn't exciting enought for scientists, so they had to create a hobby that endangers more people.

I personally believe that the molten iron and stuff that is spinning to create earth magnetic field experiences something similar to the dzhanibekov effect bc from what I've read it happens fairly consistently throughout time. Human mining and construction that involves ferrous materials being moved around should have some effect on the process but it's hard to say whether or not it'll be in any way significant and the same can be said, albeit with a higher likelihood, about manmade EMFs.
google says 4.75 billion I say complete BS ........it cost way way more and continues to cost even yr
Found this video after trying to play along with Ticket to Ride. The reason why as best as I can determine from reading various things online is that the original recording was slowed down for aesthetic reasons - either pitch or tempo.
Don't know where you're getting your information but they need to catch up and you need to quit spreading these false information their Englishman
Excuse me but we do have a clue suspicious observers. Org there's your clue do your homework

If the nuclear plane doesn't work, then why did the US build Hangar 18 at AREA-51? Hangar 18 is nearly identical to Hangar 629 built at Test Area North in Idaho. The nuclear plane works. The government lied about it not working.

Can Zero - Energy be used in medical treatment and eliminate cancer?
Royal Rife was having great success at it, so the Rockefeller and Carnegie allopathic medical cabal had him shut down. Between Rife's frequency treatment and good old fashioned fasting, people were being cured. The cartel couldn't have that! Instead they figured out a way to exacerbate the problem by poisoning people with chemo, literally cooking people from the inside out. We're dealing with real psychopaths. When 97% of the time the 'treatment' fails it's simply not a treatment.
What a crock of delusional horseshit!
