1:22 I'd watch you do an entire series about it honestly
Yes this is one of the few topics I've seen suggested that I was instantly sold.
Agreed! A video for each segment of time.
Vote this up. It needs to be done.
A whole series would be cool
Yep
I vote for the time travel question to get a full video but you can bring a full shipping crate of anything you need and include going to the 1970s and 1980s.
(A full shipping container gives you some more detailed thinking in what to bring or who to bring)
Great suggestion
Just me, showing up with an empty shipping container in the year 2450...
Clothes historians say corsets were mostly supportive and mostly very comfortable. But some people must have done right lacing to improve their figures. The huge hoop skirts of the 1860s were pretty extreme - and what a way to say 1) I don't have to do any kind of work and 2) My husband or father can afford to buy the latest fashions.
Also the image of the corset joe showed was photoshopped and even the most extreme lacing corsets usually were additionally augmented using the photo editing techniques of the time I recommend watching watching some Bernadette banner ua-cam.com/video/gYGUfg_NJzg/v-deo.htmlsi=snEfH8I98v75dy2x
hoop skirts definitely got ridiculous in their scale among the richest people, but the hoop itself was also such a gamechanger that it killed anti-skirt movements because it solved the issue of how painful and cumbersome layers and layers and layers of petticoats were lol.
Same with those darn hat pins. Got longer and longer and... Oh there goes the fellows eye next to you on the trolley!
Another planet did and we got a moon outta it
Yes, and it hollowed out the moon as well.
Free moons for everyone!
@@RedDragon91 Yay!
About to watch the video and I assumed he would mention this, so that's odd that he doesn't.
Tiamat and the Hammered Bracelet!
Comment on the emotional creatures statement: I agree completely. I was at a funeral this weekend for a friend. When talking with others about him, I couldn't remember anything specific he had said, but I could remember his laugh and the life he exuded. On the plane fear problem: When a car breaks down, you pull over to the side of the road, get out, and see what the problem is. When a plane has a problem, it pulls over to the side of the road and no one gets out to see what the problem is.
People's laughs can be extremely memorable. I have a former coworker in mind who I liked a lot, but haven't worked with in a decade. But because he was jolly, had the most laugh out loud laugh, I still feel like I saw him just a few weeks ago.
There are a few green stars. They are optical illusions and exist in double stars. Basically, if one member of the pair is red and the other is white, then our eyes interpret the contrast as the white star being green. This is a purely visual phenomenon, pictures of such double stars show them with their correct red and white colors.
Makes sense, our general perception is a hallucination made by the brain
1:15 "Solve for" is an algebraic expression which means you try to work out the value of a specific variable. In this instance it just means which one of the three options would you seek.
Solve for shortest distance, shortest time....etc
I recently learned that there is no law that says corporations have to maximize shareholder value! That idea apparently goes back to a court case against Henry Ford where the ruling said CEOs should consider shareholder value as one of the important goals when making decisions. And then in the 80’s or 90’s when CEO pay began to be linked to the stock price, they started acting like it was a mandate from god to maximize share price. How Money Works has a great video on it called “The Dumbest Business Idea in History”.
Also CEOs can't act against the corp due to their fiduciary duty, especially if they have contrary interests like owning stocks in a competitor. I'm not sure how much is civil vs able to be crminally prosecuted or from regulators.
Part of it came from Friedman's doctrine that “an entity's greatest responsibility lies in the satisfaction of the shareholders.” Corporations took that and sprinted to the extremes
Correct - no such law exists. But it convenient for corporations to nurture and perpetuate the myth to hide the pirate-level greed that is the norm in today’s economy. Look at the case of any company that is involved in a “hostile takeover.” The first thing the new board does is dump employees to “cut costs.” Short-term thinking to maximize short-term profit. For a good case study, look into what happened to IBM when it went public…
It's not a new concept, Karl Marx made his predictions in the mid 1800s when capitalism was just starting to take over the world, and he was right. This is just how capitalism works and will always work and therefore it's time to move past capitalism.
Capitalism is a collective mental illness.
Yes to the time traveller pack video 😄
For 500 bc or earlier just bring a field survival guide. At least could potentially be a guide to edible plants or how to make simple shelters.
You have to be careful though because if you know too much they will think you do sorcery. There's an anime Dr. Stone where he rebuilds civilization going back through all the eras. You would have to be careful what you do is appropriate for the era or sorcery/magic.
and medicines..and sweet boots. socks/panties. toothpaste...lots and lots of toothpaste and medicines and boots. Bag of doritoes. BIG backpack. HUGE.
And some sort of firestarter. Maybe a lighter. Magnesium block and flint also a good option.
Flint, blade, antibiotics.
Honestly, I have suitcases with wheels, man...we are gona need at least two each. COME ON bend the rules a bit for TIME TRAVEL!!!!!
Going back in time I’d definitely pack textbooks and academic articles. Things that give scientists of the time the biggest head start
Print out all of Wikipedia to learn them about trolling...
If you go back in time
There's a good chance you might
1 cause a few pandemics, by bringing virus and bacterias that to us aren't as deadly, but to an unprepared immune system might be
2 die of smallpox
I love Ilan's question, and would love a whole video on that. Be careful what you travel back in time with; you might get burned at the stake as a witch.😮
* edited to add: I watched the Crash Course Deadliest Disease video you recommended and it was excellent.
Joe travels back to 1550 with a folio of Shakespeare...
bootstrap paradox time
Lol
that solves the problem,,,, it was Joe all along
Refer the green star question to doctor Becky Smethurst, she would probably enjoy answering it. :>)
I believe that stars have slightly more energy in the green part of the visible spectrum, so stars are slightly green technically.
I heard that if the black body radiation curve peaks in the blue part of the spectrum then the star appears blue. If it peaks in red then the star appears red. But if it peaks in the middle, at green, then it still has a lot of red and blue. Our eyes have three color receptors, so we see the three colors together as white. The questioner said yellow is in the middle, too, why do we see yellow, and not white? Is this an astronomy question or a physiology question?
Cool Worlds made a complete video, that a green star is not only impossible in this universe but in any universe regardless what the 4 basic constant values would be.
And Frazier Cain answered it in a bit more detail.
Brown is just orange with context.
that's a technology connection :D
One of the more interesting aspects of time travel is its relationship to space… remember, the earth is rotating, and orbiting around our sun, while the sun is orbiting a singularity @ the center of our galaxy, which is moving away from somewhere we cannot pinpoint @ a speed we cannot determine(@ least, I cannot)…
Perhaps a more critical question would be “How might you be certain of where you would slip into then when time and space recalibrate?“. Just a little while ago you were a comparably VERY long way over somewhere…
yeah, but how do you get around the concept of there being an absolute space? a lot of the stuff that we know about physics/space has to do with the system of reference that the observer is in. how can you be certain that the time machine interprets space in the same way that you do, and doesn't just plop you in its own reference system (ie, the one that has been moving with you and presumably will continue to move)?
@@k.c.taylor7953 you can’t be certain, and that’s the point…
Since spacetime is a single entity, as long as your time machine works by MOVING you through time, Newton's third law should apply for all the space dimensions, keeping you in the same relative place in space as everything else around you as you are moved through time.
This of course, has other problematic implications, as it means you remain causally connected to the physical space around your time machine for the entire time trip. Thus, if you move forward in time by say 1000 years, but 500 years in the future the site where your time machine is standing is struck by an asteroid, your time machine will be affected by the impact. Time machines would probably need to be housed in deep, stable underground bunkers.
Of course, if your time machine works by teleporting you through time, then all bets are off.
@@adamwu4565 This 'fixed point' in current space is used in the Time Machine films. The chair device remains in one place (until it is moved by the Morlocks) so all other Newtonian laws prevail.
Just once I’d love to see in a movie a person time travel and just appear in deep space where the Earth was at that point in time. They quickly die, the end. Obviously it would be a short film lol.
I would bring a bunch of T-shirts to the 1950's and before with words on them, like Joe is wearing all the time. Those were not a thing back then and you would get a lot of strange looks.
hey, cool stuff!i just wanted to add that corsets did not restrict breathing or anything like that, they were a simple supportive and shaping garment, just like bras are today. there's a lot of corset misinformation, so not your fault, but i just wanted to point that out
That's BS. I've seen women trying on original corsets from the 1800s and breathing got very difficult for them. And when you look at skeletons from this time, you see many with deformed ribs.
Interesting! Bras seem pretty normal today but perhaps future societies will think it was just men controlling women, kind of like how many see corsets- just a tool for the male gaze. I know women who hated wearing bras and said they were uncomfortable until they were fitted correctly YEARS later. Maybe corsets also had to be fitted correctly otherwise would be uncomfortable and restrict breathing. Are these clothes something a warped animal brain thinks it needs but doesn’t? Or is our brain evolved and these clothes fulfilling a utility? Another poster acknowledged that skeletons changed because of corsets, sort of like how cultures will put feet in wooden boxes to make them more square. Is that an evolved utility or a mental disorder in the species? Playing god or playing the devil. Fascinating the sort of power/gravity that comes with wanting to play Mother Nature and change the species
@@desperadox7565 That's BS. Corsets from the 1800s were made to fit a specific person. They were made with specific measurements and with materials that would form to the body as you wore it. The reason why those women couldn't breathe in those corsets is because it wasn't made for them. The deformed skeletons you are referring to were likely from women who were lacing corsets too tightly which was an extreme practice even back then, or they were from women who were corseted at too young of an age, another extreme practice. Corsets were worn by all women in the Victorian period, even the working-class women who would work in factories or as maids, in fact, they made those jobs easier by giving much-needed lower back support. Modified corsets were even worn during pregnancy. The main reason why corsets are so vilified today is because the men of the time were afraid of them. Women were the ones who made and sold corsets, which gave them financial freedom from men. Men distorted medical information about corsets to take away that source of income and keep women subservient to men. The public hatred of corsets comes from misogyny. If you don't believe me and believe the doctors of the time then perhaps you should travel back in time and have them treat you for any condition. Are we really going to trust medical information from the same doctors who practiced bloodletting?
Are you trying to say bras don't restrict breathing? Lmao maybe you just don't notice it but they definitly do negatively impact womens ability to breath, even getting fitted properly only minimizes the restriction. I would bet corsets were way worse than bras for breathing in.
came here to make the same comment. There were a few who tight-laced, but you basically only saw them in a carnival side-shows rather than everyday life. People now seem to forget that the news focuses on the strange not the normal, and also that people of the past could and did lie. There are lots of great historical fashion channels here on yt that go in depth about why this misconception is so pervasive.
What you would take if you went forward or backward in time would be interesting. Especially if you included what specific time you would go to and what you would take with you. And whether it would matter if you just went for a month, or if it was a one-way trip. 🙂
Another point is whether or not you would worry about changing the past. Would you bring modern technology, and if you did would you keep it hidden from others?
What you take is not that important, but what would you purposefully leave behind - THAT is a much tougher thing to think about
If we're talking about branching time lines, I would absolutely bring a bunch of solar panels capable of putting out the appropriate voltage and wattage, and as many identical laptops as I can manage, each running Debian 12 with EVERY package with sources downloaded (not necessarily installed), and the entirety of Wikipedia.
That's how you fast forward the entire history of the planet to today as quickly as possible.
Note: hopefully avoiding the bad things, not trying to repeat every extremely bad thing. Also, not sure if I should be completely open with the entire world about being from the future, you know? And like, I don't think a single state should have all of the technology derived from the knowledge... very much a "temporal prime directive" sort of thing...
Flexing the tricep shadow through half the video. Nice work man! Keep crushing it. 💪🏼
Hehe, I'd credit the light placement. :)
But thank you, that's very kind. It's nice to know the sore days are paying off.
Would love to see the full length time travel video. You could physically pack all the items, then for each time period do a quick comedy sketch interacting with the locals of that time and place.
I have a deep primal fear of a rogue planet passing through JUST close enough to rip earth out of it's orbit and toss us into oblivion.
don't worry Jupiter will take care of it 😅
Or Saturn @@justfasial01
That’s why we have Jupiter.
@@justfasial01 if you aim the rogue planet well, Jupiter will simply swing it right into the general direction of earth.
@@ronald3836 of course, but the more "if" statements you add the more you realize how unlikely it is for something like this to happen.
Unlikely not impossible, universe is so big no matter how unlikely it's probably happening somewhere.
take an air conditioner and an inflatable raft to the 2100's
Lol, for a second I was like they'll have ac's that's wierd.... ooooh 😅
@@Sensei_BigJoe it's a joke but you might appear in the future over a flooded uninhabited part of the world and you'll need ac and a raft if the climate keeps warming and until someone rescues you
@@seae2030 yeah, I got it when I saw the raft. That was a good one and yeah, you ain't wrong unfortunately. Hopefully you appear over it and not under it lmao
Lol. Good one.
Haha ya that’s so funny cause by 2100 the ice caps would have totally melted…. But well… they were supposed to have melted by 2000 and 2010… oh and 2015…. And 2020, but you’re definitely right. They’ll totally be gone by 2100. Although in the 60-70s they said we were entering an ice age so who the hell knows huh? Maybe no one…
The comedian I think you're referring to is Nate Bargatze. He was doing a bit about being dumb and thinking that if he went back in time, he doesn't think he would make a difference.
nice, me and you got it buddy, u beat me by 14 hours tho... ur always 2 steps ahead of me ryan... but i'll have my day...
@@patrickdwyer320 We'll see, but If he makes a reference to Amy Schumer's material...
You'll have to take that one
A smartphone in the 1950s would be a brick, without cellular connection, the Internet, and a compatible power adapter.
It should be possible to generate 5V to charge it there but would definitely need to fill the phone with all sort of stuff for offline use. Same does apply to 2100 probably. Not sure how wireless tech changes to 2050.
Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. Without the accompanying technology, it’s only as useful as whatever is pre-loaded and not dependent on any sort of connection.
The whole of English wikipedia (without images) is 22.14GB compressed, so you can easily load it up on a phone with 64GB of storage, and you can get phones with way more, so you could get images for some articles loaded on as well. On top of that you could get movies or other videos, maybe videos of space launches and other huge advancements.
Phones also have lots of sensors, you could load up some apps that showcase that (a compass is a pretty cool demo)
And lastly, you can get some offline 3D games to demo the sheer amount of compute available to a phone
Airplane mode would work
@@YonatanAvhar Just calculating decimals of Pi with the phone might be quite impressive in 1950 :)
8:00 We've been mostly in post-scarcity for quite a while. Right now, a lot of poverty around the world is really markets controlling how much stuff they make available.
Agreed. Or developed nations taking advantage of less developed nations and stripping them of their resources.
Saying we're post scarcity right now is about as useful as showing a picture of oxygen to someone that's drawing
"see there is breathable air, it's a shame you've been artificially deprived from it"
4:20 Cool Worlds did a video on why there aren't green stars. It's excellent and worth a watch. The basic rundown tho is blue and red are on opposite sides of the spectrum and so you can get a great skew that way . But since green is in the middle, you still have a huge amount of red and blue light which you would have to get rid of in order to get that green spike.
Even though most of use modern technology, we wouldn't know how to create and apply that tech if we were suddenly transported back in time.
Here are just a few ways that we could help others/ourselves.
*Fresh fruit and vegetables, mostly raw, to prevent/cure scarvy.
*Use of aseptic techniques while attending to childbirth or while treating the sick and injured.
*Exposure to cowpox to prevent the far worse smallpox.
*Rodent control to guard against Bubonic Plague outbreaks.
the pope declared that cats were the devil's things. so the Italians of the era killed most of them, later , they had a plague of rats- and then.......
The planet question was probably inspired by the film Melancholia, in which it's a rogue planet from outside the solar system. Although the film Meteor had as the originating event, a collision between a comet and an asteroid sent the asteroid 'hurtling' towards Earth.
Please do the time traveling backpacking video!
Re: "We need to get back to saying 'I don't know more."
I couldn't agree more, and I'd love to see people encourage those who follow it up with, "let's find out!"
I love how aligned my thinking is with Joes. We had the same immediate thought on about 80% of those questions.
Good to see you, Joe.
Best Regards!
Jacque Fresco... Does he havea Brother named Al? Al Fresco?
Boeing crumbling is no suprize to me. David Calhoun did the same thing to GE, Nielsen, and Arbitron.
And of course after he did "his work" he walked away with a huge bonus.
Yes, he's outside.
Are you my dad??
Joe I am so relieved to be watching your channel right now. For some reason I haven't been able to find anything worthwhile to watch on UA-cam lately. Thank you for the great content.
I think you are the only channel I watch that actually makes even the ads you do entertaining. Thank you for all the smiles!
Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland worked on a book series called The Rise And Fall of D.O.D.O.". It's great and deals specifically with time travelto those earlier times.
If Aliens keep dumping Plutonium into Przybylski's Star; we may very well get a green star.
I get the joke, but it would be far more productive to throw it into a black hole. If you watch Kurzgesagt, you'll get the reference
Definitely do a vid on the first question there is so much that could be thought about and said. And would be interesting to watch.
People remembering how you made them feel more than the words you say is life changing information for me
To Boeing’s credit, no one has died yet in spite of pieces falling off. Some pretty stand-out safety engineering in those things! 😂
They had two crash in recent years, killing hundreds.

yeah, how ignorant is that poster, sad...
I always love when Joe answers the Lightning Rounds...some answers are really surprising
And I learn so much from the comments. Lots of knowledgeable people here
Ha, I thought I was the only one who remembered the hilarious thing the comedian said about time travel ( it was on NPR, years ago ) - " I 'd be a terrible time-traveller , I wouldn't be able to do anything remarkable ".
3:30 I believe you're referencing Dara O' Briain cuz I also thought of the same thing. Imo, possibly the best thing to do to "advance the future" would be to go to some era where you can reliably kickstart the industrial revolution as well as warn people of the dangers of pollution and climate change.
That TB essay by John Green was fantastic
A video on enviable… self-harm? Poison taking, waist-training, feet binding, neck elongation, skull pressing, etc would be really interesting!
LOVED the questions this lightning round!
Always do time travel stuff! I'd watch the hell out of that episode.
the ‘what would you bring time travel video’ is a good idea for a video
Joe - first question. When going to the 1950s, take along a laptop computer with a VGA output and a charging cable and an adapter for an automobile cigarette lighter. For any other era, take along a fold up solar panel charger. BTW load up lots of thumb drives with lots of info. Can a language translating AI fit on a one terabyte thumb drive? One terabyte thumb drives are under $100 and thumb drives are still getting bigger and cheaper.
What would I bring with me to 2050 and 2100: proof of ownership of high interest bonds purchased in my name before I was transported forward in time.
I'm so grateful for these videos, they're so much fun
"If something did go wrong, it goes spectacularly wrong" 😂
Great ep 💯🙌
I LOVE the concept of time travel (despite the inherent problems) and would watch the hell outta any video you do about it! And the idea of packing a bag for time travel sounds soooo cool! Oh, and according to another UA-camr, Rob Words, you're absolutely correct, we could still mostly speak to and understand people from the 1500s, earlier and you're starting to get into late middle English and vowels and even some consonants sound completely different. Definitely make this a video!❤❤❤
Joe next to Leonidas be like: "We're against how many?"
I'd recommend taking books, magazines, printed material into the future or past. A cell phone will be just a brick and you'll wish you could show them pictures of how it was/will be used. Imagine trying to convince somebody in 1950 how great this little, inert plastic and glass object can be. And it's never a bad idea to have some toilet paper along, just in case they've run out.
Adding to one of your answers... Forget not about "Rogue Planets," there are billions of them aimlessly going around, and will change course if they are captured by the gravitational pull of a star... (It would be a major issue for any species living in such a star system)...
Are you guys on vacation? I hope there is nothing wrong. Can't wait for your next vid.
Good answers. Enjoyed. Thank you.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!❤
I'd love to see a video about what you'd bring in a backpack to different ages, sounds fun and interesting!
I loved the style of today's Lightning Round video. The thumbnail, the intro, the content. All fantastic
I studied as a linguist in university and it’s generally thought you’d be able to still understand and converse in English is back to 1000 CE approximately. It wouldn’t be a walk in the park but at least somewhat possible 😊
Knowledge of German, Danish, Dutch and Frisian is almost more useful than knowledge of English.
You made me laugh so hard in this one. 😂 Thanks, Joe.
I would LOVE a video or series of videos on that first question! so fun!
On my TV(and with my eyes), some of the stars you showed actually looked green 😄
Definitely do a video of the traveling back in time question! That would be fun. :)
Fascinating stuff!
Love the idea of what would you pack traveling into the past!
The question about green stars: my understanding is that the Sun is actually more green than we normally think. Between the atmosphere scattering the blue light away (hence the blue sky), and it being so bright we can't look at it without some sort of filter (such as hundreds of miles of atmosphere during sunrise & sunset) it looks more yellow here on Earth than it actually is.
I have never seen a fashion trend in my lifetime that has been universally embraced. There are always dissenters.
I liked the way you compared concerts and religious events. For a long time, I've noticed the same, which includes any event that brings people together for a common connection such as sports
Would love to watch a whole video on the first question!
If I was time traveling to 1950 I would pack my JNCO jeans. CHECKMATE Joe!
5:15
I googled on this.
Now I wonder if there is an atmosphere that could make a star appear green.
Hello there👋,how are you doing today?God bless you!❤
I'd love a video about what you'd bring to all those time periods!
Whatever you bring in the backpack for that first question, should include a copy of "How To Invent Everything" by Ryan North. Even to 2100; we don't know when this slow spiral of society might suddenly collapse.
JNCOs are back, Joe!
I'd love to see a video on the 4B movement and what kind of benefits and consequences that could have for our future
I was wearing a pair of my 20+ year old vintage kikwear big pants yesterday!
The green star has a cool worlds video on this topic, highly recommended
Episode idea: Startrek style food replicator.
Solein protein, Breatharianism, Airowater Process.
It's amazing, water from condensing air, and now food from air. Add in the 3d printer and flavor additives and you have a food replicator.
Love the new camera!
PACK SPICES! They’re practically gold in the earlier centuries
15:15 I would argue it's T-shirts with random stuff printed on them. For thousands of years we had clothing with nothing printed on them, until now.
Lol. For thousands of years we had no way of printing anything. The printing press is just under 600 years old.
The lack of green stars can be partially explained by absence of green burning materials in stars. Joe was right, most of copper stuff burns green, but copper doesn't exist in stars. Stars fuse materials from hydrogen all the way to iron, but that's where fusion stops, as iron is too heavy and too stable, and by that point, the star usually goes supernova. Cobalt, nickel, copper and everything beyond that is produced during supernova explosions, not directly during star's lifespan.
About green stars. Our own star's peak wavelength is green, meaning thats the one wavelength produced the most, but as it overlaps with many others our eyes perceive white. There is a chance to see a flash of green though just before the sun completely sets.
Imagine how awesome today's world be if Joe could trsvel back in time 😂
❤️🔥👊
Re: Green stars, they were an important plot point in Robert J. Sawyer's excellent book 'Starplex'.
The fact that everyday people are aware of different airplane models now really shows how bad Boeing has been messing up.
There are two types of "yellow" light that we can see. One is light at the yellow wavelength, obviously, and the other is a mixture of many wavelengths with the average being in the yellow wavelengths, ie. red and green with some blue - which makes it whiter yellow. This is how TVs show yellow light too (apart from one model of I think it was Toshiba about 15 years ago that went for RGB and Y pixels instead of the usual RGB.)
For the time travel question, you would absolutely need some apparatus to translate. A 100 years back you might catch some of the slang mostly, but anything further would be practically indeciferable. Going into the future would be similar, but the slang would just be nuts not having any references. Hell, the chat slang alone would probably be entirely icons, the verbiage would be crazy enough, if they even speak out loud. The future with AI might simply turn into thought transfer using attached tools.
The interesting thing about time travel that I’d never thought of before until recently… if you go back far enough… I mean millions of years… like if you want to see some dinosaurs… you actually might not be able to breathe the air! It would almost be like visiting an alien planet. You might almost need a space suit and air tank. or something.
I must of missed the Venus Project episode, gotta go look for that. I loved Zeitgeist back in the day.
Yes do a video on the time travel question!
Celebrating a happy Monday with a cheerful thought experiment.
I would love to see a video on what you would bring to different times!
Regarding star color, I read that the sun is actually a turquise color but much of the green/blue hue is absorbed giving it tye yellow color
What would I bring to a different time? Hazmat gear, medicine, and medical/hygiene supplies are on the top of my list.
Absolutely yes on the time travel video!
nice unamed shout out to Nate Bargetze, "If I went back in time today with the knowledge I know now, I don't think I would make a difference.... I don't even think you guys would hear about it"
