I normally don’t like videos like these but your style makes it interesting. Many people have probably mentioned in their feedback that you could step up your sound-game somewhat but I’m not sure it would actually benefit you since your sound as it is is rather unique. Keep it up, you’ll hit big numbers soon.
I just came across your channel recently. In that time I have watched a bulk of your videos and have fallen in love with this channel. Your work is phenomenal and you do not get enough credit. Please, keep up the good work.
April 22, 2020: Coincidentally, fortuitously and serendipitously I had skipped over this video. I feel like I just found a Planet X hiding under my nose. And just when I needed it! 🌈 I also realized I can get excellent snacks from you on Twitter in between your UA-cam feasts! 😎 May I suggest a playlist for your sundries and oddments? I hope you’re well Nick! Hope we can hear more from you soon! ☮️❤️
I love that content of this high quality with so much amazing information with well-researched references and enjoyable video presentation with entertaining script and oration is what you consider "low effort" content that you can spout off the top of your head. You're a wonderful person.
I hadn't actually watched the video when I made that comment, but I just finished it and it was superb. Also, I have seen all your previous ones, some of which more than once, and I still found this one extremely engaging. In fact I was enthralled till the very end. Can't wait for your next upload!
I enjoyed it. I am a scientist. I request you to keep giving preference to science in all your videos above the spicy spectacular BS that so many channels are fraught with. I genuinely don't know many, start watching the vids until I am hit in the face with pseudo science. I dont like that.
My family often say I should include more conspiracy material. I tell them that the Internet has enough of that, and someone has to stand up for reality.
@@parallaxnick637 Love the channel. I told my wife "I found this channel about astronomy and stuff and it's wonderful! It will never be popular because it isn't dumbed down. Only smart people will really enjoy it." Please don't stop. I hadn't subscribed to any channel in months. In a world filled with idiocy, you are a breath of fresh air. Your subscribers will be higher income and far more loyal. Your ad revenue will probably never be sufficient so I think you should monetize with stuff targetted to smart people.
By popular I mean you aren't speaking to the masses so you won't attract them. If you want the masses, you need to really dumb it down much more. It would be horrible. You will be beloved by people tired of content for plebs.
I hope that you are well. You truly run one the greatest astronomy channels. Very unique and sensitive in your approach. I loved especially your video on Barnard's 🌟. I hope you keep going.
Hello, quick question...@ 3:15 you note how we are looking at Vega "Top Down". Was there a specific reason that you say that as opposed to "Bottom Up"? Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I just thought that there might be a distinction due to System's rotation or some other technical classification to demonstrate Vega's orientation as up vs down..? Thanks for awesome videos!
Astronomically speaking, none whatsoever. There is no "up" or "down" in space. It's simply that when we see photos like that on our world, we tend to call them "top down."
Feels as though the Titius Bode law should be derivable from orbital resonances. So we shouldn't really expect anything to really adhere to it as a matter of principle, nor should we expect it to really predict where planets lie or so on, but we should occasionally rediscover something like it with some other systems, and it might be useful as a way to quickly estimate zones where stable orbits might exist, not that they would.
Great video as always. Informative and fun to watch. Love the idea of more frequent uploads with the heavily researched videos interspersed with lighter material. Just yesterday I couldn't find anything appealing on netflix so I watched again the series on planet nine. Thanks for sharing your work.
A very entertaining video. Nice one! Lot's of weird in our Solar system isn't there? That proposed SN shock wave impact part way through formation could be a cause of the unusual setup.
These videos are amazing. He needs more subscribers. Tell your friends people. This kind of research and presentation deserve it. Deal a blow to Flat Earthers and Moon Landing Hoaxers...👽
I'm sorta a new subscriber, and this video just makes my want to delve into your previous videos mentioned. So stoked! There were a couple things in here that where new to me! Can't wait to learn more. I really appreciate the history of discovery too. Thanks! EDIT: (because it comes up) I for one don't care for this over-mic'd voice/narration heard elsewhere on youtube. I never liked the "man in my ear" style when it comes to a visual format anyway. _Works great on radio, or audio only media._ Your microphone is absolutely FINE. Save your money. lol -Cheers.
A nice video as always, though it mainly served as a reminder of a lot of things you've discussed in earlier videos. Which is nice, because my memory can always use it.
The story on Copernicus was truly amazing. I've always wondered about the fact that an obscure priest in an out of the way country could rise to his statue. I attributed it to a larger than life personality of a true renaissance man.
Excellent content in all of your videos. Very informative and accurate. I especially enjoyed the video on Jupiter’s moons! Europa is so interesting and has many mysteries to unlock! Looking forward to seeing more videos!
Regarding your 8 planet limit: My guess is since they are using wobbles in the star to detect the planets, a star/system with few planets would be easier to detect and sort out than a star/system with more. With too many planets, the wobble could be so complex as to appear as noise or be indistinguishable from the background noise of the measuring equipment.
Leaving out Tycho de Brahe out of Astronomy is like leaving out the cocoa out of chocolate milk you completely missed the point & that is not a coincidence! The sun rises in the East & sets in the West this is not an illusion but an empirical fact.
Asimov on Astronomy. You might like to delve into the 1963 (May S&SF) essay “Just Mooning Around” where the good Doctor proves mathematically that gravitationally speaking, the moon goes around the sun not the earth, although I like to think of them as “co-orbiters”
#8 I'm sure this is not the first interstellar object to come here. The fact that this object was discovered AFTER it's closest approach to the sun tells me that we nearly missed it. This object nearly hit the sun (astronomically speaking) and so we can say it came unusually close. We have no idea how many of these kinds of objects passed by without being discovered. This one was found by accident.
"Can someone please tell me how a glottal stop works before a word?" Um. Okay. Uh-oh. Did you want just one example? Most times when a word begins with a vowel in English it has the characteristic of starting with a glottal stop. As a native English speaker, you don't notice it much like you don't notice air when the wind isn't blowing or when you haven't been ejected out an airlock. It just sounds like a normal initial vowel to you. Native Hawaiian speakers don't always start an initial vowel with a glottal stop so it is important for them to note the presence or absence of the glottal stop. There are word pairs in Hawaiian that differ only in the initial glottal stop.
I love these kind of though provoking subjects. I don't know at what point statistical probability precludes random chance, or if enough of the variables are even known to make that calculation, but it would seem that some of these things have a reason for being the way they are, other than just coincidence.
The ancient Greeks did use instruments for studying the celestial bodies. They also constructed the worlds first known computer (Antikythera mechanism) that modelled the night sky and made predictions such a eclipses
Yep. Enjoyed it. Bit harsh on Lowell I reckon though amusing. Huge Isaac Asimov fan here too - & haven't read that particular 'Planet that Wasn't' book or even heard of it. Will have to see if I can find a copy somewhere. Also what happened about the video you were going to do about the Space Odyssey 2001 movie please?
Script written; waiting on a double-ended USB cable for my mic. As for "The Planet That Wasn't", it's a really good read; you'll never look at cholesterol the same way again.
Person 1: "Pick a number between 7 and 9." Person 2: " 8 " Person 1: "That's the same number of planets in our solar system!" Person 2: "zOMG JUAT COINCIDENCE!!1!' It *MUST* be a sign!" Person 1: "It is meaningless." Person 2: "I'm buying lottery tickets!"
My favorite has something to do with the amount of matter and energy in a universe being equal making the universe "flat" There's a video on it somewhere
Fun and fascinating with a lot of new and interesting, and weird, detail. Humans seem to really like patterns so coincidences become important whether or not they should be. Some of these are fabulously ridiculous and Bode's law remains creepy. Thanks!
'Might Mercury have minus one moon?' Considering some theories have posited that Mercury used to be Venus's moon and the impactor that caused venus to spin in reverse cast it into a new orbit would make Mercury a freefloating planetless moon? Yes.
Regarding (10): Neptune's satellite system is obviously disrupted, presumably by the capture of Triton which did not form with Neptune. I think one day it will be accepted that the same is true of the Saturnian system; Titan is a captured interloper which broke up the other satellites, resulting in the small other moons and the ring system. Iapetus used to orbit closer in and was flung out during this process. And so on. Titan's atmosphere may be due to a recent (in astronomical terms) collision. Titan just makes no sense as a native satellite. The implication here is that gas giants normally form a system that looks like those of Jupiter and Uranus.
#9 the number of planets depends on the completely arbitrary way humans define a planet, and, for other stars it depends also on our limited ability to detect small bodies. So this isnt just a meaningless coincidence, it's a completely meaningless number.
I really like your videos... You are a well spoken narrator, and your interests in science, the universe, the fundamentals of matter & energy, and wherever that takes you intrigues my continued curiosity and further interest in your channel... But, you might take note of some more things in your presentation, like enunciation... For example: Isaac Asimov's last name is pronounced "AZIMOV", and not "ASSIMOV"... One "S" in a word in English US or Otherwise is a "Zeeee..." sound... Cheers and keep up the good work... Paul ;)
To explain the 8 planet per star coincidence Kelper wasn't around that long and the further away from the star the higher the chance of deviation from the plane
"Maddening" coincidences? Re eight planets, perhaps it's about time and equipment - we still haven't quite detected further out planets in Solar system that's our own, but merely deduced they exist, due chiefly to their very long orbits, and doing so in other systems must take more time and better equipment, and some luck, surely? Oumuamua might or might not be the first interstellar rock, just the first known. Asimov, delightful. Percival Lowell coincidence is curious indeed, but no more. As Asimov would have said, if he didn't. Venkatesh Katkar 18:00 - 18:12? Quoted from Wikipedia:- "In 1911, Indian astronomer Venkatesh P. Ketakar suggested the existence of two trans-Neptunian planets, which he named Brahma and Vishnu, by reworking the patterns observed by Pierre-Simon Laplace in the planetary satellites of Jupiter and applying them to the outer planets.[14] The three inner Galilean moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa and Ganymede, are locked in a complicated 1:2:4 resonance called a Laplace resonance.[15] Ketakar suggested that Uranus, Neptune and his hypothetical trans-Neptunian planets were locked in Laplace-like resonances. His calculations predicted a mean distance for Brahma of 38.95 AU and an orbital period of 242.28 Earth years (3:4 resonance with Neptune). When Pluto was discovered 19 years later, its mean distance of 39.48 AU and orbital period of 248 Earth years were close to Ketakar's prediction (Pluto in fact has a 2:3 resonance with Neptune). Ketakar made no predictions for the orbital elements other than mean distance and period. It is not clear how Ketakar arrived at these figures, and his second planet, Vishnu, was never located.[14]" Well, Mike Brown and team have deduced the existence of at least one more large enough planet out there, going by the strange orbits of several of the trans Neptunian objects that they have discovered, so perhaps it's time to give credit to Ketkar and ask how he deduced, as mathematics world does about work of Ramanujan. Bode's law, curious, that it should give even as many as five exoplanets already, never mind naysayers - its too many for coincidence. It might be a matter of fine tuning and looking, time and equipment, and generalisation of the law.
To answer your question, and speaking as one of the new subscribers you mentioned, yes, I did enjoy this video. I'm also enjoying getting caught up on the rest of your videos. I really like the presentation style you use, but I am as yet unable to put my finger on what exactly it is I like about it. I'll let you know if it comes to me. Just please, for all that is good, don't go the route of some other channels and start cutting in clips of you talking, or putting a little square of you in the upper corner. It adds nothing at best, and is distracting at worst. Ok, rant over. haha
can you do a video about the Kalaby-Yau manifold? or what will happen if we human develop a program with simulated humans? what will those "humans" do if programed to live like us?
It's not all that spacey on its own, but I might do a piece on string theory in general, with the added warning that I consider string theory to be an unfalsifiable borderline religious idea.
You produce good quality videos you have no reason to be grateful for subscribers. By producing good content, you EARN those subscribers. If anything, *WE* should be grateful to you. We thank you by subscribing.

You and Isaac Arthur are probably my favourite UA-cam space and science creators
Ah, had an exchange with Issac this morning as it happens, he's a good man. Completely agree with you.
Agreed! Astrum and Curious Droid are of a similar quality and have their own individual flair
Check out David Butler as well. Soothing and informative

I vote for Mercury having -1, if only because the idea is enormously interesting.
Maybe he counted tidal locking as -1... Granted, Mercury isn't, but it was thought to be until the 3:2 resonance was discovered in the 50s.

Venkatesh Katkar 18:00 - 18:12?
Quoted from Wikipedia:-
"In 1911, Indian astronomer Venkatesh P. Ketakar suggested the existence of two trans-Neptunian planets, which he named Brahma and Vishnu, by reworking the patterns observed by Pierre-Simon Laplace in the planetary satellites of Jupiter and applying them to the outer planets.[14] The three inner Galilean moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa and Ganymede, are locked in a complicated 1:2:4 resonance called a Laplace resonance.[15] Ketakar suggested that Uranus, Neptune and his hypothetical trans-Neptunian planets were locked in Laplace-like resonances. His calculations predicted a mean distance for Brahma of 38.95 AU and an orbital period of 242.28 Earth years (3:4 resonance with Neptune). When Pluto was discovered 19 years later, its mean distance of 39.48 AU and orbital period of 248 Earth years were close to Ketakar's prediction (Pluto in fact has a 2:3 resonance with Neptune). Ketakar made no predictions for the orbital elements other than mean distance and period. It is not clear how Ketakar arrived at these figures, and his second planet, Vishnu, was never located.[14]"
Well, Mike Brown and team have deduced the existence of at least one more large enough planet out there, going by the strange orbits of several of the trans Neptunian objects that they have discovered, so perhaps it's time to give credit to Ketkar and ask how he deduced, as mathematics world does about work of Ramanujan.

Make the glottal sound (eg stop, fricative) before pronouncing the word we just don’t have em in engwish
keep in mind that planets past orbit 8 are always scattered away from the ecliptic.

For those of you who don't automatically hate the idea of a creator.. go look into teleology, noetics, and things like this.
