    What I love about this channel is that I could sit through a whole video and not get lost half way through. The pacing and editing work so well helping retain information. I sometimes watch, better-yet, listen to these during naps and in my dreams I visualize everything almost similarly to the CGI segments in the videos. Kudos to Leila and David!

    Radiation exposure is one of my greatest fears. It’s mostly invisible and undetectable unless you have a Geiger counter… I read about the people who lived down wind of the Trinity Test in New Mexico in the early forties. The bomb was detonated at five in the morning and it jolted people out of their beds. Two sisters looked outside and saw what looked like snow falling. They put on their bathing suits and went out to play in the radioactive fallout that they didn’t know was deadly. They rolled around in it and smeared it on their faces and bodies. Their community was only 35 miles away from the test site, and they weren’t warned or notified about the possibility of deadly exposure to radiation. Most people who were unknowingly exposed to the fallout were stricken with multiple cancers and autoimmune disorders in a disproportionate amount. The government finally admitted to their negligence and mistakes and awarded compensation to the victims of the devastating effects of radiation exposure that they caused during the Manhattan Project.

    Every time you come up with a new episode, I'm baffled at how complex and fascinating our Universe really is. Even at the grandest scale, the Universe seems to have a clever solution to everything. You can't but wonder if we will ever grasp it all and finally find the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything (I know the answer is 42, but anyways 😉). Still, I'm glad I found this fantastic channel and subscribed to it. Thank you for your amazing work.

    I'm really not sure how to put this. It seems as if almost every content creator I enjoy watching is spamming the better help online therapy grift. This company must be undertaking an extremely aggressive campaign to recruit youtube creators. The reality is that they sell customers private data to corporations like Google and Facebook so they can be subjected to targeted advertising. Furthermore they take no responsibility for the online therapists they employ. This is a bad company and I don't think anyone should be signing up to it.

    37:07 why do the magnetic field lines follow the motion of the gas? From what I understand the gas is a plasma (ionized gas), so the current that generates the magnetic field is in the direction of the flow, so the field lines should go around the direction of flow, they go around a wire with an electric current.

    Quasars are incredibly important in understanding the early universe and its evolution. They are the brightest and most energetic objects in the universe, powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. Quasars emit massive amounts of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing astronomers to study them across vast distances.
    In terms of the universe's creation, quasars provide insights into the formation and growth of galaxies. They are believed to have been more common in the early universe, playing a crucial role in the formation of galaxies by influencing their structure and evolution through processes like galaxy mergers and black hole accretion.
    Regarding Earth, quasars indirectly impact us by contributing to the cosmic environment and the distribution of matter in the universe. They influence the formation of stars and galaxies, which ultimately contribute to the cosmic conditions necessary for the existence of planets like Earth. Additionally, studying quasars helps scientists understand phenomena such as black hole dynamics, which can have implications for our understanding of fundamental physics and the universe's behavior.
