    Hi, everyone. We noticed that there is a brief loss of audio at 18:41. No, we weren’t censoring Hakeem :) Here’s what is said:
    “And the other thing is, is that they’ll pass by things that will attenuate light”

      The explanation of speed of light was brilliant, I enjoyed so much that I listened twice. I would say the whole episode was great even without my favourite co-host Chuck. Paul was better than ever, with the right balance between comedy and knowledge.

    Dr. Oluseyi just made me realise how hard it must be for Neil to simplify astrophysics to us in a way we'll understand. The art of dumbing down is not easy

    Dr. Oluseyi is one of my all-time favorite modern scientists. I've watched him throughout the years on many shows, and he's always been entertaining and knowledgeable. You definitely need to have him on the show more often.
    And, OMG, Dr Os story about the f at the end of a word and changing the th to an F is spot on for the Southern US.
    When I was in the military we had a guy from Mississippi named Smith. We called him Smiff or Smiffy because he never could pronounce the TH at the end of a word. Instead of calling himself Pvt. Smith, it always sounded like Pvt. Smiff.

  • @redthorpe
    @redthorpe 2 роки тому +2

    I'm usually happy to watch videos like this to improve my theoretical knowledge about scientific concepts (I hate numbers), and to let my curiosity wait and settle, but I bought Dr. Oluyesi's book on Kindle.
    Dr. Tyson is amazing at breaking down concepts into easy, relatable pieces, which I love - I left science class behind over 18 years ago.
    However, Dr Oluyesi speaks at my speed even if I know I don't understand the numbers, I get the ideas.
    Thank you, Doctorate Professors both, and I'm curious about the muted moments....

    • @rainmanjr2007
      @rainmanjr2007 2 роки тому

      You also explain your thoughts well. I'm in even greater discomfort with the math of such ideas so must look at the theory, itself, and ascribe value. My theory is that the Universe is an illusion, created by waves of magnetic energy in electron groupings, happening within Tao. My page has video of me explaining the idea but I don't want to intrude on Dr Tyson's page. I mostly wanted to point out to you that Dr Tyson's lead comment fills in what we missed.

    I really appreciate Dr. O's input, I feel like he DOESNT try to dumb it down too much for the average audience which is nice for your audience who does have a decent knowledge of physics (which I'm guessing is a good portion of your audience anyways) and the people who don't have that basic knowledge are here to learn anyways and not have everything dumbed down for them. Just my take 🤷‍♀️ of course there's an uncertainty there in my audience estimates lol 😜. Anyways, thank you! Would love to see Dr. O as a regular!

It’s more like a transformer, transforming energy from some other dimension, the view of that transformation shown as the surface of the sun. The fusion we think of is what happens in the arcs. He explains it way more elegantly but it’s a query I am diving more into.
