Our kids were so excited by the idea of the collider we had a wee party with them when it was turned on for the first time. It's not that they understood the physics, they were very young, but the idea there was an underground "racetrack" that smashed things together was a big draw for wee kids.
Technically Dr Schweitzer didn't find soft tissue itself but the degraded remnants of. Something just as astounding considering the time but a less fun headline.

Dr. Schweitzer has _repeatedly_ stated that she did *NOT* find blood vessels. She found the remains of organelles that are commonly found in such cells, but did not find the cells themselves. Where did y'all get that from?
It's not the Higgs boson that gives particles their mass. It is particle's interaction with Higgs field that does the job. The Higgs boson is a semi-stable oscillation of this field, and is a direct experimental proof of the field's existence. That's why it's so important, but the boson itself does not give mass to other particles.
And if I recall correctly it's not even all the mass is it? It's like 10% of all the mass in the universe comes from interactions with the higgs field. Or I'm misremembering and am completely wrong
@@IiiiIiiIllIl You are not wrong. Most of the mass of any atom comes from the energy of the strong nuclear force, the one that keeps atomic nuclei together. Since m = e/c^2 (which is just a transformation of e = mc^2 ) this energy counts as mass.
Simon was propagating the misunderstanding most people believe. Your explanation is more correct, but most people aren’t going to take the trouble to figure it out.
To be more accurate, it's actually Type O NEGATIVE blood that is the universal donor not just "Type O blood". Each blood type has negative and positive. The universal donor is O Negative and the universal recipient is AB Positive. Remember this by "donor" being "take away" (as a negative thing thus -) and "recipient" as "receiver" (as a positive thing thus +). This is very important in blood donations too...not just the "type" but the "positive/negative" anitgens. That's why Type AB Positive is the universal recipient. They have every antigen type in their blood/on their blood.
Technically that's two types. The AB0 gene series - that gives type A (AA, A0), type B (BB, B0), type AB (AB), type O (00) - and the Rhesus type - that gives type positive (++, +-) and type negative (--). There's also other typings that are more important for things like organ donation (the K series and others)
Only 7% of the population are O negative. However, the need for O negative blood is the highest because it is used most often during emergencies. So while it is completely universal for everyone it's rare. O positive is the most common and most needed it is considered universal even though it's only useful for the positive blood-types but since most people have positive that's why it's considered universal especially if o positive is the most common
7:25 excluding the very rare cases of Mumbai Syndrome, whose blood is even more barebones than type O. They cannot accept even type O blood without agglutination, only blood from a very rare cosufferer (as long as the Rh matches, of course). It's usually represented as type h (and the fact that it's lowercase speaks volumes).

If you don't believe me - Just look at how nuclear power has "progressed".

As for the black hole and h-boson, it's cool but I truly doubt it will ever affect us, unless we find some way to seriously interact with the higgs field to carry information / energy (a pipe dream), that would be revolutionary.

There is a question about the image of the black hole. A question about how the data was selected from the pool of data - certain data collected were rejected, allowing the image to be made (cherry picked data sets). To some scientists, that made the process questionable. Another problem is that we should not be seeing the accretion disk from a "top down" view, but from a "side on" view. The orientation of the image is wrong. However, everyone is too excited about the "discovery" to pay any attention to the scientists critical of the "discovery."
Einstein did not predict blackholes, he thought the idea was absolutely ridiculous and nothing of the sort could exist in nature. A bloke named schwarzchild discovered something strange that happened when he solved one of Einsteins for a star of about 2.5 solar masses.
7:52 I can't understand the hype about making type O blood: this was made in Brazil in the 80s: the A and B proteins are layered on red blood cells so a Brazilian researcher was able to "change" blood types not only made it type O, using enzymes found in coffee beans (Brazil...coffee...a good start) *in the 80s*. The fact is that medicine prefer exact blood donations, so giving A to A, B to B, etc (O must always receive O), a small amount of antibodies is present on plasma so non exact blood transfusion still can cause fever. This is easily worked around removing plasma, but this still don't solve the Rh factor problem. And most important those processes are expensive way to expensive, making then blood a commodity, a product to be sold, and, and donations are still the best way to go.

The discovery of soft tissue and potential DNA remnants from dinosaurs, particularly in specimens like the T. rex, was a significant scientific breakthrough. However, there are several challenges and misconceptions that complicate the idea of recreating dinosaurs like in Jurassic Park: DNA Degradation: Despite finding traces of soft tissue and possibly DNA fragments, the DNA from dinosaurs is highly degraded after millions of years. This degradation makes it extremely difficult to reconstruct a complete genome sequence necessary for cloning. Complete Genome: To clone a dinosaur, scientists would need a complete and intact genome, which is currently beyond our technological capabilities given the state of degradation of dinosaur DNA. Frog DNA Myth: The concept of filling in gaps with frog DNA, as portrayed in Jurassic Park, is not feasible. DNA doesn't work like Lego pieces that can be swapped from one species to another without serious consequences. The genetic differences between dinosaurs and modern frogs (or any other species) are vast, making hybridization impossible in the way depicted in the movies. Ethical and Practical Concerns: Even if we could reconstruct a complete dinosaur genome, there are serious ethical considerations about bringing back extinct species. The ecological impacts and the ethical implications of such an action would be immense and controversial. In summary, while the discovery of soft tissue and DNA remnants from dinosaurs was groundbreaking, the idea of recreating dinosaurs like in Jurassic Park remains firmly in the realm of science fiction due to the technical, ethical, and practical challenges involved. Scientists continue to study these ancient creatures using the fossil record and molecular biology techniques, but resurrecting them in the way depicted in popular culture is unlikely to become reality.
You would need DNA from the father, DNA from the mother, a mitochondria from the mother and a lot of other stuff to make a viable cell. And then you must protect it from various bacteria and virus infections. Will it be able to digest modern food?
I remember coming across someone online who was so convinced that the black hole image was fake they they did a low quality Photoshop tutorial to prove it. It looked nothing like the first black hole image .
Thats why i believe that human engenuity will save humans from extinction, i trully believe in that. Maybe is too hopefull to think like that, but we have a facinating side.
The biobag will be a massive breakthrough for medical treatment. Unfortunately people will immediately try to use it to further remove themselves from human nature.
DNA is not fragile at all. That's why our bodies use it as information storage. In its double strand configuration it can even be heated to impressive temperatures without a lot of damage.
I mean it is quite fragile, that is kinda what causes cancer. Thankfully we have defenses against the degradation, but it doesn't always work. Sunlight can and does damage DNA.
If there's soft tissue, the dino had to live within the last 7 million years because that's how long DNA takes to break down. Evolutionists need to update their timeline.
DNA and soft-tissue are not the same thing. They also didn't exactly find soft-tissues, they found the most robust chemical remnants of what may have been soft-tissues. They found crosslinked protein structures resembling blood-vessels and heme (the iron in blood) resembling blood-cells. They also had to soak the "soft-tissues" in an acid bath for several weeks to even make them soft.
Real T-rex are possible. Just imagine the smartest Ai super computer like 100 years from now, and probably sooner. It will be able to "dream" up the DNA they can literally reason how the DNA would have been and recreate it. It could literally print the DNA, and even if it wouldn't be able by reasoning then by trial and error.
We're probably going to find out in the next couple centuries that creating life from DNA and refinement through evolution and adaptation are quite different
It's already considered likely that DNA wasn't present in the first life just RNA. Only later did the RNA/protein system get replaced by the more _evolutionary_ stable RNA/DNA/protein one we all use.
If the Higgs boson did not exist there would be no matter. Ergo, the Higgs boson exists, detectable or not. Or the entire construct is flawed.... It would seem to me, a mere layman, that there is a more elegant explanation yet to be uncovered!
You know how everybody wonders what’s on the other side of a black hole. The very last video where it says a black hole spewing blue matter maybe that was the other end of a black hole from another side so if anything survived, it would be in our part of the universe
I was born about 3 months too early and weighed 610grams - the main physical conditions I'm still dealing with is very short vision and fine motor skill-issues.

I have one concern about the 'black hole pictures'. As described in the clip, there was a sea of data gathered, which was used over a period of years to generate a computer image. That is a 'picture' and one could presume it's fairly accurate, but it isn't a 'photograph'. For a start, just to begin with, you're not looking at visible light. You're looking at radio emissions... Ergo ~ that isn't what a black hole "Looks Like." My concern, is the VAST majority of people who see these images on tv or the internet, don't get that part. "But I saw the picture." Yeah, but that picture was (by exact definition), CGI. It's a computer Generated Image. Alright ~ that image was built from data actually gathered by giant radio telescopes and internet communications, but it took years of computer-time of extremely powerful computers, to process it enough to make a very low resolution 'blurry picture'. If you had data of that quality and tried to reproduce a human face with it, you wouldn't be able to identify gender, let alone recognise your sister. Does that mean they're not valid pictures? No, that's not what it means, it means they're a very low resolution computer reproduction of radio signals generated in the accretion disk of a black hole, one in a [cough] nearby galaxy, and one in the hidden centre of our own galaxy, in the 'zone of exclusion' caused by the outer parts of the accretion disk. That is, it's exactly on the galactic plane, as you'd expect, so there's a gazillion tons of rock and dust and gas and junk lined up in the way. We can 'penetrate' that because we're using 'radio light' but that's what I'm saying. It's not light ~ it's radio. My point ~ most of the muggles who view these images, completely misunderstand what they're looking at. And the vast majority of the mainstream media who show those images, do a poor to non-existent job of explaining this, mostly because I think most of them don't understand it themselves. My concern ~ I think a hell of a lot more effort should be made to explain what these images really are. You're looking at a computer generated picture, based on real data this time, of the radio emissions coming from around the accretion disk near the event horizon, of a couple of black holes, including Sag-A.

It’s hilarious to hear Simon, a WASP, say “wasps suck”
Hi Bob
Time to learn from Professor Whistle!
There is a question about the image of the black hole. A question about how the data was selected from the pool of data - certain data collected were rejected, allowing the image to be made (cherry picked data sets). To some scientists, that made the process questionable.
Another problem is that we should not be seeing the accretion disk from a "top down" view, but from a "side on" view. The orientation of the image is wrong.
However, everyone is too excited about the "discovery" to pay any attention to the scientists critical of the "discovery."
Einstein did not predict blackholes, he thought the idea was absolutely ridiculous and nothing of the sort could exist in nature. A bloke named schwarzchild discovered something strange that happened when he solved one of Einsteins for a star of about 2.5 solar masses.
SCIENCE! Yeaah!
7:52 I can't understand the hype about making type O blood: this was made in Brazil in the 80s: the A and B proteins are layered on red blood cells so a Brazilian researcher was able to "change" blood types not only made it type O, using enzymes found in coffee beans (Brazil...coffee...a good start) *in the 80s*. The fact is that medicine prefer exact blood donations, so giving A to A, B to B, etc (O must always receive O), a small amount of antibodies is present on plasma so non exact blood transfusion still can cause fever. This is easily worked around removing plasma, but this still don't solve the Rh factor problem. And most important those processes are expensive way to expensive, making then blood a commodity, a product to be sold, and, and donations are still the best way to go.
In 2006, while visiting Denmark, we read a newspaper report about an attempt to break into a car, which was thwarted. Coming from SA, we couldn't stop laughing .....
Premature infants had the risk of stiff lungs . Back in the late 1980s surfactant.were used and no more still lungs . That said a human womb is always the best place for babies to develop.
Always dope, "Wasps fucking SUCK!"
Just sayin...
They help keep the mosquitoe population down, tho

Australia has had progress with the biobag and cloning around 2016 Japan has joined in on the projects have no idea what has happened since.
The discovery of soft tissue and potential DNA remnants from dinosaurs, particularly in specimens like the T. rex, was a significant scientific breakthrough. However, there are several challenges and misconceptions that complicate the idea of recreating dinosaurs like in Jurassic Park:
DNA Degradation: Despite finding traces of soft tissue and possibly DNA fragments, the DNA from dinosaurs is highly degraded after millions of years. This degradation makes it extremely difficult to reconstruct a complete genome sequence necessary for cloning.
Complete Genome: To clone a dinosaur, scientists would need a complete and intact genome, which is currently beyond our technological capabilities given the state of degradation of dinosaur DNA.
Frog DNA Myth: The concept of filling in gaps with frog DNA, as portrayed in Jurassic Park, is not feasible. DNA doesn't work like Lego pieces that can be swapped from one species to another without serious consequences. The genetic differences between dinosaurs and modern frogs (or any other species) are vast, making hybridization impossible in the way depicted in the movies.
Ethical and Practical Concerns: Even if we could reconstruct a complete dinosaur genome, there are serious ethical considerations about bringing back extinct species. The ecological impacts and the ethical implications of such an action would be immense and controversial.
In summary, while the discovery of soft tissue and DNA remnants from dinosaurs was groundbreaking, the idea of recreating dinosaurs like in Jurassic Park remains firmly in the realm of science fiction due to the technical, ethical, and practical challenges involved. Scientists continue to study these ancient creatures using the fossil record and molecular biology techniques, but resurrecting them in the way depicted in popular culture is unlikely to become reality.
You would need DNA from the father, DNA from the mother, a mitochondria from the mother and a lot of other stuff to make a viable cell. And then you must protect it from various bacteria and virus infections. Will it be able to digest modern food?
I remember coming across someone online who was so convinced that the black hole image was fake they they did a low quality Photoshop tutorial to prove it.
It looked nothing like the first black hole image .
Thats why i believe that human engenuity will save humans from extinction, i trully believe in that. Maybe is too hopefull to think like that, but we have a facinating side.
Chapter 4 (09:09) is chapter 4 but chapter 5 (11:43) is also chapter 4
The chapter so nice, they used it TWICE 😅
Stephenson 2-18 recently dethroned UY Scuti as the largest known star we have found! 🌟 ☀️
A T-Rex would be a great source of entertainment? Meth heads vs T-Rex
The biobag will be a massive breakthrough for medical treatment. Unfortunately people will immediately try to use it to further remove themselves from human nature.
The dinosaur story is interesting given that it’s almost exactly how they got the DNA in the books
4:37 for people that don’t know that’s only part of the equation!
DNA is not fragile at all. That's why our bodies use it as information storage. In its double strand configuration it can even be heated to impressive temperatures without a lot of damage.
I mean it is quite fragile, that is kinda what causes cancer.
Thankfully we have defenses against the degradation, but it doesn't always work.
Sunlight can and does damage DNA.
If there's soft tissue, the dino had to live within the last 7 million years because that's how long DNA takes to break down. Evolutionists need to update their timeline.
DNA and soft-tissue are not the same thing.
They also didn't exactly find soft-tissues, they found the most robust chemical remnants of what may have been soft-tissues.
They found crosslinked protein structures resembling blood-vessels and heme (the iron in blood) resembling blood-cells.
They also had to soak the "soft-tissues" in an acid bath for several weeks to even make them soft.
You are everywhere. I wonder if Simon is human? Digital Simon.
Real T-rex are possible. Just imagine the smartest Ai super computer like 100 years from now, and probably sooner. It will be able to "dream" up the DNA they can literally reason how the DNA would have been and recreate it. It could literally print the DNA, and even if it wouldn't be able by reasoning then by trial and error.
8:20 Could this show that humans used to feed on hunted prey raw? Or does this gut bacteria only go to streamline the conversions?
Bob the t rex 😂😂
You didn't put a chapter in the description for blood type O. Also the fifth chapter in the video says chapter 4.
We're probably going to find out in the next couple centuries that creating life from DNA and refinement through evolution and adaptation are quite different
It's already considered likely that DNA wasn't present in the first life just RNA. Only later did the RNA/protein system get replaced by the more _evolutionary_ stable RNA/DNA/protein one we all use.
3:42 *Is that the guy on a ship with the whistle?*
If the Higgs boson did not exist there would be no matter. Ergo, the Higgs boson exists, detectable or not. Or the entire construct is flawed.... It would seem to me, a mere layman, that there is a more elegant explanation yet to be uncovered!
You know how everybody wonders what’s on the other side of a black hole. The very last video where it says a black hole spewing blue matter maybe that was the other end of a black hole from another side so if anything survived, it would be in our part of the universe
@6:05 So your saying without this particle, it simply does not... Matter....?
He looks like vsauce’s forgotten twin brother
I was born about 3 months too early and weighed 610grams - the main physical conditions I'm still dealing with is very short vision and fine motor skill-issues.
And likely also the cause of my ADD and potentially my Aspergers.
But hey, given the alternative I'd say I got off rather well all things considered (:
Just cool 😎
28 days later... zombie lambs!
🤪. tavi.
Wasps don't suck! They pollinate more than bees.
You mark my words Simon will look like uncle Albert in 30 years
Simon? That isn't Michael from Vsauce in disguise with a fake accent?
More like uncle fester
@@worksucksletsdrink6011YES! He needs to shove a lightbulb in his mouth and watch it turn on.
@@anthonymonge7815. That will be the most surprising scientific development of the NEXT two decades. More important than cold fusion.
In 30 years all AIs will look and sound like Simon… by law.
The type O blood research seems like the opening of I Am Legend and the artificial wombs are a precursor to The Matrix
I have one concern about the 'black hole pictures'. As described in the clip, there was a sea of data gathered, which was used over a period of years to generate a computer image. That is a 'picture' and one could presume it's fairly accurate, but it isn't a 'photograph'. For a start, just to begin with, you're not looking at visible light. You're looking at radio emissions...
Ergo ~ that isn't what a black hole "Looks Like."
My concern, is the VAST majority of people who see these images on tv or the internet, don't get that part.
"But I saw the picture."
Yeah, but that picture was (by exact definition), CGI. It's a computer Generated Image. Alright ~ that image was built from data actually gathered by giant radio telescopes and internet communications, but it took years of computer-time of extremely powerful computers, to process it enough to make a very low resolution 'blurry picture'. If you had data of that quality and tried to reproduce a human face with it, you wouldn't be able to identify gender, let alone recognise your sister.
Does that mean they're not valid pictures?
No, that's not what it means, it means they're a very low resolution computer reproduction of radio signals generated in the accretion disk of a black hole, one in a [cough] nearby galaxy, and one in the hidden centre of our own galaxy, in the 'zone of exclusion' caused by the outer parts of the accretion disk. That is, it's exactly on the galactic plane, as you'd expect, so there's a gazillion tons of rock and dust and gas and junk lined up in the way. We can 'penetrate' that because we're using 'radio light' but that's what I'm saying. It's not light ~ it's radio.
My point ~ most of the muggles who view these images, completely misunderstand what they're looking at. And the vast majority of the mainstream media who show those images, do a poor to non-existent job of explaining this, mostly because I think most of them don't understand it themselves.
My concern ~ I think a hell of a lot more effort should be made to explain what these images really are. You're looking at a computer generated picture, based on real data this time, of the radio emissions coming from around the accretion disk near the event horizon, of a couple of black holes, including Sag-A.
