I must say that I just can't get enough of Curios Droid. I learn something new from every episode and I am really impressed with the quality of the channel.
"Which one is the brightest, A supernova at 148 million km or a Hydrogen bomb exploding 1 millimeter from your eye? And the answer is the supernova" Wow !!!
Gamma bursts can also occur when the fusion reaction becomes helium poisoned. Possibly some of these gamma bursts are forming stars that burn out as they are forming. The problem is overcome in fusion weapons by controlling the reaction speed with gallium alloy.
The first sentence of this video reminds me that I'm still in awe sometimes that we can go outside in short sleeves, with only a razor thin layer of air between us and all that violence and destruction, and stand there in comfort, and not broil, freeze or explode.
@@theflanman1986, they’re ~$100 a shirt so hopefully they’re made local in the U.K. I’ve not been able to suss the country of manufacture looking through their web page.
I never get enough of being told how we are insignificant in the scope of our place in this universe. I love being in awe of the magnificence we have had the opportunity to enjoy
After reading a certain book, the basic Three Body problem is some of the scariest stuff I can think about. Just the fact that something so simple could be so hard that it might even be impossible is very, very scary when you then think about the complexity of the entire universe.
I love all your videos and constantly wait in anticipation for the next one! I could listen to you talk all day and never get bored! Thank you for the awesome content you provide for us!
Always watch a curious droid video as soon as it appears on UA-cam, never disappoints. Another top notch, thoroughly interesting video, many thanks Paul!
The most powerful objects in the universe? You forgot the mysterious but incomprehensibly strong attraction forces between drunk people and kebab shops. I’ve often been visited by the Friday night UFO. Unidentifiable Fried Object. The only alien object to probe you from the inside out the following day.
Did you know that you can weaponise a black hole, some big mirrors and EM waves? You could theoretically create a supernova with that. It's pretty cool.
I'm no expert. But I believe the distinction comes from the term object. A quasar is not an object. It is essentially an entire galaxy that has a super nasty black hole core x2 going nuts sending out pulses of energy and matters from the poles. It's alot more than an object anyways. But the aforementioned objects are indeed singular objects. All be it crazy big.
Too true. Once I have got my head back together and the Paracetamol kicks in, I shall watch it again and probably again after a few days. Awesome graphics too.
You've filled in some great missing gaps, like the magnetic force creating the jets. It's still a lot to get your head around, the whole complexity of it. It's ironic that we are so lucky not being zapped yet we are so content screwing up the world ourselves!!!!
The speed of that neutron star animation really unsettled me for some reason. Something that massive and violent spinning around quietly at such speeds is frightening.. but fascinating as hell too.
Thanks for the wonderful mini doco, this is a great elaboration on the Kurzgesagt from a few months ago. THE ONE TIME YOU DO NOT MENTION THAT SHIRT, I HAVE TO HAVE THAT FOR MY HUSBAND! XD
@@shaunlenton8865 You got me. Yep, I meant "in". I also have German and Swiss German selected as a language in my phone so the keyboard suggests German, Swiss German and English words. Sometimes a bit confusing...
Dig the shirt you're rocking in this video haha..On top of your videos always being very well made & educational/interesting; you also always never disappoint when it comes to your wardrobe choices 😂
Smoke from sounding rockets, used to create a visible way to see, film and measure the shock wave from the explosion. Using the distance and speed of the shock wave’s propagation, scientists can among other things calculate the shot’s yield.
But how can it still be gamma after a truckload of redshifting from across the expanding universe? Usually these things are radio by the time they get here. Am I missing something?
I remember reading about Gamma Ray Bursts in a lexicon at the school library. I was 13 years old when I learned about one of the greatest potential threats to mankind. Had an impact.
Emerson White it's like the old joke, 'the size of our galaxy is astronomical'. My physics teacher at school told us that one. Not one kid in the class even grinned. He had to repeat the line again, and emphasise the last word whilst pointing at it on the blackboard before people chuckled. We were a bit slow in those days LOL.
CD never ever disappoints... like a law of nature.
Oh yeah? You like CD's? You should try DVD's, they are amazing.
Actually he said that the power output of the sun is XXXXX W of power every second?
@@onjofilms Nice try and as next you'll promise me something out of the blue? Ray Charles would have seen that coming, but Stevie would have Wonders.
@@giovannimonchietto1863 Yes he did. And now, what's your question really?
This thread went off track quickly!
Thanks, just as I was feeling vaguely significant!
I know. Right!?!
Embrace your cosmic insignificance!
I feel like I would do just fine in the Total Perspective Vortex.
Astronomy is a humbling science :-)
I must say that I just can't get enough of Curios Droid. I learn something new from every episode and I am really impressed with the quality of the channel.
KeNost82 Me too. I’ve been watching one episode after another for hours
Magnetar sounds like an 80’s arcade game.
I played gravitar long time ago. Anyway was a funny game
Or a supervillain.
Sounds like a Pokémon to me .
P illo I kinda hated it.
Sounds like Pat Benetar. She's small and powerful.
"Which one is the brightest, A supernova at 148 million km or a Hydrogen bomb exploding 1 millimeter from your eye?
And the answer is the supernova"
Wow !!!
Yeah Wow!! But at least the supernova wouldn't take your eye out. :-)
@@David-yo5ws lmao he said the supernova was at the distance of the sun, that would roast our solar system
First heard this factoid on xkcd a few years back (“Lethal Neutrinos”). Mind blowing.
@@vulcanus9384 Exatly 😅
So, almost as bright as my phone's screen when I check the time in the middle of the night.

I find it sad that a lot of our discoveries come from the incessant need to kill each other :~( So sad.
@@pegasusted2504 The universe is metal.
Helium Road yup. Not Grunge. 😁
I haven’t watched this yet but I know already it’s going to be awesome!
Did not disappoint.
As always.
Yes

Mad props to the shirt manufacturer for lining up the squares at the buttons.
they only line-up in vertical direction.. however the squares on the pockets do line-up with the rest of the shirt!
8:21 "Nice shirt". I love saying that, tho rarely feel moved to.
Thank a sweatshop in Asia
OCD?
@@theflanman1986, they’re ~$100 a shirt so hopefully they’re made local in the U.K. I’ve not been able to suss the country of manufacture looking through their web page.
My brain just can't soak up enough of this. I need this information drip fed in to me 24/7

10:02 “I felt a great disturbance in the Force”

Magnetar, I think my microwave has one of those. That's why I can warm up a chicken breast in 60 seconds.
You got the length & your decription consise & just right! Damn good vid!

Lol. Nice one.
Again.... great content. Thank you Mr. Shillito and all his channel's Patreon supporters!
Everyone: new video!
Me: new shirt!
the man has style!
I wish I could find something like that in cloth shops
I really wish tards would stop writing such lazy meme comments.
He said, I said, everybody, nobody... pikachu face..... STFU!!!
Fantastic! The sizes, distances and energy amounts contained and released by these bodies are so hard to imagine. How beautiful our Universe is!
Humanity: nukes are the most powerful thing we have created
Universe: that's cute
Did you know that you can weaponise a black hole, some big mirrors and EM waves?
You could theoretically create a supernova with that. It's pretty cool.
not even "thats cute" more like "yall are idiots"
Even if we REALLY tried, the destruction we can cause is no greater than that caused by a space rock crashing on Earth.
I really wish tards would stop writing such lazy meme comments.
He said, I said, everybody, nobody... pikachu face..... STFU!!!
@psygn0sis
I down vote every single one I see, send them down to the bowels of the comment section where no one will ever read it.
What about Quasars? I didn't think any other astronomical event was more powerful than a Quasar.
I'm no expert. But I believe the distinction comes from the term object. A quasar is not an object. It is essentially an entire galaxy that has a super nasty black hole core x2 going nuts sending out pulses of energy and matters from the poles. It's alot more than an object anyways. But the aforementioned objects are indeed singular objects. All be it crazy big.
the center of our milky way pal. quasar
What about blazars?
Incredible, thank you! It’s almost too much to begin to contemplate properly. Amazing stuff.
Whenever I need my mind blown, I watch a Curious Droid video.
love the way you present topics. Top notch.
After watching this video my brain hurts I have never had something so mind-boggling. Just trying to wrap your head around it makes it explode.
Too true. Once I have got my head back together and the Paracetamol kicks in, I shall watch it again and probably again after a few days. Awesome graphics too.
Another stunning shirt there Paul....and the videos not bad either!!!!
Dear Paul, I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
This is so damn good mate! Love the videos....
Love this astronomy content!
Wow, this video was so visually stunning! Love your videos.
Always a good day when CD uploads a new Vid. Thank you!
CD....some mind boggling numbers in this one.....Awesome bit of research.....Thanks for this.
Thanks Paul....Y'all are the...Best, very easy to understand video's indeed...!
The Death Star has nothing on these.
Imagine if starkiller base was just a hypernova
I Find Your Lack Of Faith Disturbing.
Nothing both scares and fascinates me as much as trying to think about space and/or death. Great vid as always Paul!
You've filled in some great missing gaps, like the magnetic force creating the jets. It's still a lot to get your head around, the whole complexity of it. It's ironic that we are so lucky not being zapped yet we are so content screwing up the world ourselves!!!!
One of my favourite subjects, thanks Paul.
The speed of that neutron star animation really unsettled me for some reason. Something that massive and violent spinning around quietly at such speeds is frightening.. but fascinating as hell too.
Thanks Paul. Obviously a lot of research has gone into this fascinating video.
All in all, my hairy ape friends, we're not doing too badly. Another great video CD. Keep 'em coming.
Excellent video with top notch graphics!
So many mind boggling facts and pieces of information that I couldn’t absorb it all. Good excuse to watch it again. Fascinating.
I'm genuinely offended that people can waste their time watching MAFS when there's content like this out there. Stunning video, my favourite channel!
Fascinating. I’m glad I found this channel.
Thanks for the wonderful mini doco, this is a great elaboration on the Kurzgesagt from a few months ago.
THE ONE TIME YOU DO NOT MENTION THAT SHIRT, I HAVE TO HAVE THAT FOR MY HUSBAND! XD
4:45 minor nitpick: You said watts per second instead of just watts or joules per second. Watts per second would indicate a change im output power.
Gonun not to nitpick but you mean a change IN output power not a change IM output power?....... Lol.........

I love science and educational channels like this one, I just subscribed better late than never they say.
Dig the shirt you're rocking in this video haha..On top of your videos always being very well made & educational/interesting; you also always never disappoint when it comes to your wardrobe choices 😂
How to turn a bad day into 13min of pleasure: curious droid, thank you sir 👍.
6 months late but hope you're having a great day now
I am blessed by another Curious Droid video 🙏
You are lucky.
CD is fantastic. I love these videos and please keep them coming
Finally, a new video
Can you please add a link to where you buy those awesome shirts?
I second that
This is brilliant just brilliant. CD keep up the "brilliant" job 😁👍
Utterly intensely fascinating
Why has UA-cam been hiding this channel from me when it's literally all I ever watch. Wtf. Love the content ♥️
Best source for knowledge, thank you
Fantastic, thank you very much and please keep up the great work!
Nice shirt!
Always enjoy these, nice one!
Great video as ever
Thanks for sharing👍😀
That was awesome!! The Violent Universe.
Looking at those energy beams from Pulsars, I am wondering if it would be possible to use this as a downscaled version for a spaceship drive?
Another very interesting and informative video. Thank you Paul!
You make such excellent videos!
Thank you CD i learnt alot
I absolutely love learning about Magnetars.
Thankyouforthis
Veryinformative
Your channel should be required watching. It's so great. Your missed on a daily basis.
💪😎👍
Great work...thanks.
Dude, this video made me said wtf too many times, mind bending numbers. Great vids keep it up.
Thanks for the vid. Always great.
Wow, astronomy now! Nice new topic to cover.
He's done it before...? U new round here?
One of the best shirts yet!
More videos like this please
love your videos paul!
I always enjoy watching your videos 👍
Holy crap -- they censored his shirt! 😁
Amazing work.
The shirt was too good to be exposed to the naked eye.
Realy like more on astronomy .. as allaways ! Good job , Thanks , and se you next time ;)
Curious Droid needs a shirt sponsor... This guy never disappoints with the shirts.
What are the parallel lines that appear alongside atomic detonations? Just curious.

There are worst errors in this video then just "Telsa"...
@@will2see I love this channel to the point where I contribute with what I can. If I was a know all like you, I would help with more ;)

can i please get the space engine co-ordinates to the scene from 5:35 ?
Nice, Love the Astronomy series
Cool video👍 Your right.. we are pretty damn lucky to be here today.
I love your posts. Awesome work 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
That pixel shirt is excellent!
4:29 "distance not to scale" thank F for that, I don't think i would survive with that much heat
