There's actually no problem with drug resistant bacteria, the problem is in rubber stamping the 200 cures that are on the shelf that work on them. Now if all strains of bacteria are immune to all the new antibiotics that's another story, but we usually just have viruses to worry about there. If new antibiotics were a must have new ones would come out tomorrow.
No sources, crediting, or corrections or anything. The false vacuum decay "story" was terribly inaccurate and simplistic. Please do better, or don't even bother at this point. Look, Im not trying to be mean espacially for no reason, but fighting misinformation (and disinformation) with basic things like fact-checking, proper sourcing and citing, correcting and so on should be PARAMOUNT for anything trying to be educational, not matter how entertaining the presentation is aiming to be. In our era, we should not ignore the damages being done anymore. Crucially, the youth is already at extreme risk of losing so, so many life skills taken for granted by their elders whose role is to be the best exemple they can be and showing them the way, or at the very least pointers. Hope I will stumble back on your channel and be able to witness your improvements! Be rigourous and it will pay out. Sorry for my rant, again please do not take this as an attack! Take care
Story 12 about the nuclear warheads... What you do not understand is that the enemy is the human race. It will take another few years for people to catch on sadly. Let's see if we make it.
When I took my first, first aid class the teacher did say that the success rate for cpr was like 5% sometimes even 10%. And he asked us, "So why do we do cpr anyway?" And I said, "Because 5% is better then 0%?" He told me how he loved my optimism but its really so we can buy time for medics to arrive and bring up their chances for survival higher.
_but its really so we can buy time for medics to arrive and bring up their chances for survival higher._ So in reality the survival rate is actually way higher, it's just that CPR *alone* has a low chance of success? Well, doesn't that just mitigate the whole 5-10% thing when CPR works way way better than that.
Mine also said they might be in coma if CPR is successful, or need rehabilitation but they are recoverable until the trained medics arrive . It's better than someone dying. Sometimes you don't need to perform CPR and you put them in the recovery position.assess the situation. I'm more knowledgeable about choking and burns now 😂. I get to practice choking prevention on my mum who manages to choke on drinking her water 🙄
My neighbor had a serious heart condition (effectively a time bomb) that caused him to have a massive heart attack at work. His colleagues started with chest compressions right away (don’t know if there was CPR too, likely), the hospital was nearby, and even though they lost him a few times they were able to save him. The rehab was massive and he will never be quite the same, but he came back wonderfully. It was a joy to witness. He had a very young son at the time. There were several weeks when things were really up in the air.that was all about 15 years ago. He’s still doing great. (And he was able to go back to work… as a rocket scientist!)
The cpr fact actually gave me a bit of closure, last year i did cpr on a family member who suffered from a heart attack, I did it for 15 minutes before the paramedics arrived, he didn't make it, but I was so sure cpr would have saved him because I always heard about the success stories instead of the failed ones
Me too. My dad is an EMT and my mama was chronically ill. When she died he did CPR on her for over an hour without stopping while his fellow EMTs arrived in an ambulance and prepared everything for transport. Being the child of an EMT i knew that the longer it went on, the less of a chance she had because it meant her brain wasnt getting enough oxygen. I never realized the chances were that low, my dad probably didn't want to admit it.
I wanted to add a fun fact about Botox. Yes, it is used to make the wrinkles go away. But it's also used in other applications. For instance, there's a bladder condition that causes painful spasms. The condition is called interstitial cystitis. Botox injections are used to calm the spasms.
I have a throat condition that's only been recognised by the scientific community in the last couple years or so. There's an experimental treatment involving a botox injection that's had good results so far. Going to wait until its a condition recognised by my healthcare system (hopefully) before going for the treatment myself.
It find a wonderful use in calming intractable chronic migraines; a condition I suffer from (but I don't need the Botox, fortunately). Chronic migraines can be, as in my case, such that you have 25 migraine days a month. Post treatment, that's 4--and they're incredibly minor.
I had gastroparesis which means my stomach was partially paralyzed, they injected one part of my stomach with Botox that makes it no longer trap food inside, letting it digest faster. Pretty cool I think!
Related to story 6. We might be running out of the easiest source of helium, that which we get from natural gas reservoirs, but we will never run out. 99% of all Helium on Earth is from alpha decay of larger elements. So long as there are larger elements, we will always have a source of helium. We just need to develop better ways of extracting in sufficient quantity.
While that may be true, it will drive up the costs. Medical costs are scary high as it is. Basically, something too expensive to extract is the same as not existing in this context.
@@Alverant which will be the reason we finally switch MRIs over to higher temperature superconductors and not niobium-titanium which requires liquid helium. High costs always accelerate innovation.
@@AlverantMedical costs are not that high because of manufacturing costs, they are artificially pumped up. (See the whole insulin thing that happened)
This only affects USA since most developed countries actually have low to free (Depending on stuff) medical cost, you can pay an insurance, i pay 560€ a year and i have almost everything incluiding dental plan @@Alverant and this is for PRIVATE, if i get the medical card most stuff will be free or heavily discounted too
you can definitely feel changes in humidity, as someone that used to live on the Gulf coast & now lives inland, whenever i visit it feels like the air is hugging me
Where I live the weather is SUPPOSED to be comfortable year round, but as of the last decade, its become notably more humid and gross. Its super annoying and uncomfortable and the fact that it may soon become lethal more often than not (because let's face it corporations are gonna squeeze the earth for every resource they can get their hands on until its fully depleted) really worries me.
As someone that lives in a very humid tropical area: High humidity (70%+) feels like being inside a sauna at all times. You'll start sweating seemingly nonstop and your clothes will become very wet really fast, sometimes even if you are literally doing nothing (if it's hot enough or you are under the sun). Since you can't sweat to regulate temperature properly, this also makes so you perceive temperature as being way hotter than it actually is. During summer in some tropical areas, heatstroke is incredibly common and more poor people die because of the heat than because of the cold during winter (tropical winters usually don't go below 16°C).
Perhaps it may surprise some folks to know that wet bulb weather can happen in the Canadian summers. Folks in Ontario can get significant humidity from the great lakes, but if you don't live near the shore you lose out on the cooling from their being heat sinks connected to the breeze.
RE: wet bulb events Chances are you would feel the event. It wouldn't necessarily feel hot unless it's already hot out, but you'd be able to feel the humidity at such high levels. With those kinds of humidity levels you can FEEL the water condensing on your skin. The problem comes in when you mistake it for sweat. Either way, once you start showing symptoms (said symptoms are synonymous with those of heatstroke because it's practically the same thing) you're still not done for provided you can get into a temperature-controlled location ASAP and have a cold drink (preferably water) on you. An important note, though - if you feel as if your eyes are bulging out of your skull, GO TO THE HOSPITAL. This means that your body is pulling its last defenses to cool you down. Your blood-brain barrier has been breached and water is flooding your skull. It will compress your brain against the walls of your skull (hydrocephalus) and that's when you'll die. (Source: I have been in a lot of extreme weather)
Also at those temperatures and humidities fans become completely pointless. The air is a warm as you (or even warmer) and the air can't absorb any of your sweat
When I was in Kuwait City in 2008 I experienced one of these events. IIRC, the temperature was nearly 120F/49C with over 80% humidity. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and made it about 3 minutes before I went "f*ck this!", snuffed out the cigarette, and ran back into the air-conditioned building. 0/10, do not recommend.
I am actually quite fearful of its liberal use. With some recent evidence of how the body somehow remembers the pain despite it and funky (rare) side effects. It always scares me when a relative or friend should go under
@@biancagreyholubova7484….yeah. I had a surgery to remove a benign tumor on my neck. I didn’t research a thing, did not want to know. Woke up afterwards to my ankle straining against that calf holder they use and the morphine made nauseous me and woozy all night In the morning I felt better but told the surgeon it felt like you guys had tried to pull off my ear 😕 Surgeon: that’s cause we did ☺️ 🫥
About rabies: A girl survived without vaccine by being put in a coma to wait out the symptoms. It's also treatable if you get the vaccine right after being bit/infected. The coma treatment has gone nowhere it seems, which is really disappointing.
depends where you get bitten. if you got bitten on the leg, you have a decent chunk of time to get a vaccine. If you get bitten, say, in the neck, you need to get to the doctor instantly.
It's all about the blood-brain barrier. Once it passes that barrier you are done for. But yes, there was a success story with medically induced coma to save the brain while they waited it out, which did work, and at least gives some hope however small.
They have tried with the coma route (known as the Milwaukee Protocol), but it has very low success rates as far as I am aware. Not to mention that even if you do survive, you are almost guaranteed to have brain damage and have to try to relearn how to walk, talk, eat, etc.
No doctor but everything depends on success rate and this applies on all industries. Eliminated means something went wrong and success rate is too low. It's common sense.
There are over 50k cases per year, globally, and it's been killing people since 2000 BC. The Milwaukee protocol has resulted in 3 people surviving since 2004. 20 years X 50k cases/yr = 1 million cases. 3 in 1M is better odds than ever, but that's pretty freaking bleak if you ask me
I can personally speak on what 95F with 100% relative humidity feels like. It is unmissable. The air feels thick and harder to breathe, you sweat instantly and are just soaked with sweat and it doesn't dry. It is oppressive and suffocating. Also, Captain Kirk, and nobody from the Star Trek universe would be frightened by the last fact, since they have methods of travel that go much, much faster than the speed of light, especially by the time they master transwarp drives.
I was once in 118 degree heat at 100% humidity. It's awful. You literally run out of breath barely doing anything and it feels like breathing is pointless. Luckily we had a nice heat pump so going inside it was actually too cold lol.
sauna? what? general saunas go up to 60% humidity. the only thing with 100% humidity is a steambath. but maybe you live in a part of the world where they have saunas with 100% humidity. but i think thats very unlikely and at least in my country i havnt been to a sauna with 100% humidity.
I've got one for you: nerve toxins are STUPID easy to make. In grad school, I had a project where I was trying to make [no one fucking cares] and I came up with what I thought was a brilliant plan to get there by a series of reactions. While doing more research on the idea, I discovered that one of my planned intermediates was Sarin (a literal chemical weapon). The median lethal dose is around 40 micrograms per kilogram of body weight, so if you're a large, full-grown man (100 kg, bigg boi) it only takes 4 milligrams to take you out, and I could have made 100 grams of it in a week--enough to kill over TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE. There are hundreds (thousands?) of labs around the country that have the same materials and equipment I had access to. All of the chemicals required are available in bulk from normal chemical supply houses, and none are subject to particularly stringent regulation. Also btw it's pronounced "boo-OH-tees" but whatevs, you did your best 👍
Regarding lead pipes in older homes; it's common in North America too, but hard water will coat the insides with calcium and lime, making the lead not leech into the water. It's been so long since lead has been used in plumbing that most houses with it will have a good thick layer of buildup.
@@ViciousVinnyD Also if the water source is changed to a different source which is more acidic, it could suddenly start leeching lead into the water. That's what happened with Flint when they got taken over by a state manager who switched their water to a cheaper source which had more industrial contamination and destroyed the lead pipes, causing the water crisis
That's what happened in Flint, MI. The change from the harder water source to the softer water source caused leaching of the lead in the lead pipes of the city's water. Soft water dissolves the mineral build up in the lead pipes. All the government had to do was add minerals to prevent this from happening but the GOP lead state government that appointed the Flint City Board said "it would cost too much", meaning they didn't think adding a few thousand dollars worth of minerals in the water was worth it to what they think is "worthless people". They have said as much.
People also just tend to vastly overestimate how vast the distances inbetween objects in space are, even within our solar system. The likelihood of any individual CME hitting our planet is very low, due to all the potential directions it might go to, and how tiny and distant our planet is from our sun's perspective
A few weeks ago one hit Earth and caused almost no damage, but auroras could be seen as far from the poles as Europe. And next year there is a good chance we'll get hit by a few more as the Sun is entering his solar maximum, which is when the Sun basically causes the most CMEs.
I love that you say when you start a new story. As someone who listens to vids like this in the shower/in bed, I’ve had some very confusing moments with other Reddit vids. Thank you!
It’s probably because you watched the mystery sector video they ripped these stories from that came out well before this video all the stories are actually originally from Reddit these guys are frauds
nah most of it has been in media a bunch of times (documentaries, news, scifi shows/movies, books etc.). the only theory I didnt really hear about before was that an intergalactic civ is an option why the "great void" exists lmao
Scariest one about weather here: Tornadoes windspeeds aren’t what kill you, in fact, you can survive those windspeeds. It’s the debris that slowly kill you and rip you apart or to shreds. If you survive that you’d likely die from falling or being launched at a high speed and hitting the ground. In some of the most intense tornadoes (Like the one in Jarrell Texas), every hole of you will be caked or filled with mud, and parts of you can be ripped off from debris itself or the mud. In tornadoes like the Jarrell Texas tornado, your eyes, mouth, nose, and everything will be filled with mud, and you’d likely be unrecognizable. One last scary tornado fact, EF5 tornadoes are not survivable above ground, however, with strong ones like the Phil Campbell tornado, you can also not be safe underground as they can rip roofs off storm shelters that are made specifically to survive tornadoes.
Here is another scary thing about EF5's, the dirt that there can rip up can contain fungal spores, called Mucormycosis, in them, by the way they are natural occurring, if you are unlucky to get cut from any debris and the have the dirt get into that wound, you likely will get infected by it, this happened in the Joplin EF-5, 13 people were infected by it, and 5 died as result of it. I quite surprise that something like this doesn't happen more often
On the plus side… any species that has a “Dyson galaxy” would almost certainly have no need to ever seek additional resources and therefore unlikely to ever take an interest in us or get all freaked out about the dark forest hypothesis.
@@ZananoQuinito Uhm, how would you know this? That is a very optimistic view of the universe and its possibilities. @thedirector192 No need? Most likely correct, at least with our current understandings. OTOH, I could easily picture many human civilizations who have everything they need, and they don't stop trying to get more. So.... I don't necessarily agree with your conclusion.
i think it's more likely a civilization advances much faster when they cooperate. therefore the probability of them being peaceful should be higher. but of course, this is just a guess. i think if a civilization can create multiple dison spheres, they won't care so much about us. we cannot even make a single one, not now and not in the near future. we won't benefit or harm them. so we are probably not very interesting for them. why should they do anything to us. we mean to them less than an ant means to you. on the other hand they might want to build an interplanetary highway through our earth... in that case don't panic.
It's not about being morally correct, it's more about natural selection. If you have a region of the universe with many different kinds of alien civilisations, after a long time passes, the greedy conquering aliens will be the most ubiquitous, since they conquered everything else. Those greedy conquering aliens could literally be rouge AI programmed to multiply itself. Such AI would have the wisdom of a bacteria and be more powerful than any civilisation.
@@karalstonalexstine7939 I fear for water, then soil and lastly clean air. I live in the only country that has enough potable water that we flush toilets with it. Never understood why Americans drink so much soda... until I came to visit. Water tastes amazing... people in the US drink filtered sewage. (I also often wonder about natural lakes and so much skin issues and chlorine in our water). There are already countries where people are getting cut off of water and essentially dying
@@biancagreyholubova7484 That depends very much on where you live. Back in the late 19th Century, New York City did some planning for the future, and had the New York State government set aside every valley in a 200km radius north of NYC for use as reservoirs. There is now an extensive system of reserviors and aqueducts throughout the mid-Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains that contains NYC's drinking-water supply. But before the water reaches NYC and enters the water-mains, it's sent through a sanitation and oxidation system that ensures it's purity. It's actually cleaner than bottled water, and is why the NYC municipal water system is known as "The Champaigne of Public Drinking Water." The pipes _in the buildings,_ however, may not be in the best condition, and will end up leaving bad tastes in that excellent tap water. Then there's Long Island, which lies to the east of Manhattan. Long Island is a terminal morraine left behind by the retreat of the glaciers, resulting in a gigantic natural filter. The water-table below Long Island was, therefore, some of the cleanest in the world. Then the suburbs basically covered all of Long Island during the 1950s-1970s, leading to a lot of pollution being sent down septic tanks, spread on lawns, send into sewers. There was a massive program during the 1970s to switch everyone over to public sewers, but the damage had been done: various chemicals were making their way down into the once-pristine water table. Sadly, all of those layers of glacier-separated rock cannot filter something as small as molecules, and the once excellent water of Long Island is being ruined.
"We don't have humidity detectors" ....? We do and it's called a *Hygrometer* We have 5 different modern types of Hygrometers for different situations..
Imagine we didn’t though Nuclear weapons, computers that can do billions of calculations every single second that you can hold in your hand with no problem, but no way to detect humidity

Fun fact about prions Pigs and boars are more resistant to prion diseases, *though not immune,* than other mammals This could be because porcine sows engage in cannibalizing their own piglets if environmental conditions are not right, the sow is stressed, or any number of conditions are not met This is also why we didn’t see mad pork disease or really any BSE or CJD in pork.
@KlavierMenn yes they do. A mother cat oftentimes will. The theory behind why animals eat their young is there's something wrong with some or all of the litter. A mother animal puts so much work into a pregnancy and the birthing process that she eats them to reabsorb all the nutrients. Young mothers have been known to eat a limb or a newborn on accident during cleaning or umbilical removal. Some animals are also known to consume their young if they feel threatened by a predator. (Stress)
The humidity one is absolutely true. Worked in a warehouse with no climate control for 6 years. The summers would get into the 104+ ranges with 90-100% humidity every day. It was terrible I myself suffered multiple heatstrokes while working there.

Story 17: I don’t think the amount of carbohydrates in a plant is contributing to the obesity epidemic as much as the fact that we eat a grotesque amount of literally everything other than plants and healthy meat.
Obesity is so easy really. Its about calories in, calories out. Just eat less calories and you WILL lose weight. If you also burn calories not only by basal metabolism but also move around more, you will lose more calories. That's how people lose weight. The opposite if you need to gain weight. Eat more, move less.
@@elishh8173While that's true, genetic and environmental factors change the speed and physical effects of losing weight. Being in a caloric deficit isn't nearly the only thing you have to do if you want to "lose weight" in the classic sense of getting in shape. It just literally means you'll weigh less. Many people might even look the same.
6:38 "I speak english, that's it" I remembered the meme: "You speak English because it's the only language you know. I speak English because it's the only language you know. We are not the same."
We have humidity detectors. It feel suffocating to inhale hot and highly humid air. It gives a feeling of drowning a bit. For the atomic bomb, the message is "If you invade us, you'll have no country to return to". It's the main reason we don't have as many invasion wars since and why countries help Ukraine indirectly rather than directly.
To correct something from story 8. It wouldn't be a level 3 civilization. It would be a 5 or 6!! To quickly explain: level 1 means that civilization can use 100% of the power of their home planet [we're no more than a 0.85] level 2 = 100% of their home solar system level 3 = 100% of their home galaxy ... I'm just going to leave this for someone to laugh at. I forgot how extreme the jumps were between levels. Level 4 isn't several 100 galaxies. it's 100% of their home universe! Which scarily enough means if that void is caused by a civilization. It would be a LOW level 3 no more than 3.2 I double checked my work this time don't worry lol. tho go ahead and correct me, it just means I'll learn something new.
I'll say we're a 0.69 - 0.75, tbh maybe even a 0.55. If we were close to be a type 1 civ we would have almost figured out how to control the weather and natural disasters.

10:30, The most recent coronal mass ejection was 4 days before this video was posted. It caused a G3 geomagnetic storm, the M flare caused an R1 radio blackout over South America also
I believe the last super dangerous one was on July 23rd 2012. It was an extremely powerful CME that barely missed the Earth (by a margin of approximately 9 days) The general consensus was that if it hit the Earth it would have been AT LEAST as powerful as the Carrington Event that took place on September 1st to 2nd 1859...the one mentioned in the video
11:29 that's a bit hyperbolic. A CME wouldn't just delete every above-ground wire. Many of them, particularly the power grid, would likely need to be disconnected for safety, and some damage would still occur. Large portions of the grid would be ready to turn back on as soon as the CME passes. Turning the grid on is complicated enough that handling a complete shutdown will likely take days or weeks, but there will still be enough of a grid to turn back on, and it'll still provide enough power for society to be recognizable. There will likely be permanent damage. Some places, may be flat-out disconnected. And the grid will have less redundancy to rely on, meaning that it might not be as reliable. There will also be less power to go around, meaning higher electricity prices. And the shorter a wire is, the less likely it is to be affected. Any small devices - phones, computers, and potentially even buildings and vehicles - are likely to be completely unscathed, unless damaged by the power grid (which can be prevented with the correct use of circuit breakers and surge protectors). In short, the damage will be extensive, and the disruption to non-damaged systems serious, but a mini dark age is incredibly unlikely.
9:05 High school bully behavior is the exact point of nuclear strategy. Everybody is big and strong and capable of destroying each other, but everybody is too afraid to do it because they can all destroy each other. The point of nuclear weapons is not to be used in wars. They are meant to prevent wars from starting. Sure, lots of wars have started since World War II, but it is important to realize that essentially no major powers have directly fought since then. Why? Because nuclear weapons make everybody too scared to drag the whole world into another war. Wars stay regional now. There is rarely direct intervention from another nuclear power if a nuclear power is already directly involved. Peace through strength is the name of the game. World War III if fought will be fought with nuclear weapons over about half an hour, but the question is, will World War III even be fought? So far, it seems to be no. But if nobody had the ability to destroy everybody, nobody would be afraid to start a war that would drag everybody in. Until World War II, Europe got dragged into a major continental conflict every few decades. But, then the secrets of fission and then fusion are discovered, and since 1945 the European nations have been mostly peaceful with each other (Eurasia not so much, but Europe has been pretty good.). However, as soon as nuclear weapons are used, they lose all of their value. The deterrence is based on the fact that you _do not_ use nuclear weapons but you are _threatening_ to use them. Shock value. "I am going to do the thing that I am not supposed to do." This keeps them relevant. Nuclear weapons as weapons are nowhere nearly as valuable. They are just big bombs. As long as you do not use them, you show that they have value. That they are far too valuable to be used on just anything. You are holding back, and therefore your enemy does not want to make you stop holding back. "I believe that my nuclear adversary is the spawn of Satan, but even he does not want to use nuclear weapons unless he has to. Therefore, nuclear weapons must be so awful that I ought to not provoke him." But, as soon as you use a nuclear weapon, you show that it is just a bomb. It is no longer forbidden, it no longer has shock value. You use it and it becomes worthless. Then your enemy uses all of his on you, because they are worthless and because you clearly are willing to use yours on him. As soon as nuclear weapons become worthless, a country with an arsenal no longer has its power. You hold the ability to destroy the world over your enemy's head so that you can bargain. You bargain for peace, via the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction. As soon as you use your arsenal and it loses its value, you no longer have your bargaining chips and you can no longer bargain for peace, you are powerless. So, you do not use nuclear weapons. Having the power to use nuclear weapons means not using nuclear weapons because you lose the power that your nuclear weapons give you. And nobody would willingly give up power.
And then there was a certain nutcase who discussed nuking North Korea and blaming somebody else. Nor was it the only time said nutcase suggested attacking another country under a false flag.
also, I heard it was actually a non-radioactive bomb and as such only slightly "scorches the earth", it would just turn the relatively immediate area into a clear-from-even-nature zone rather then make a much, MUCH, larger area very unlivable and cause complications worldwide wide.
The shockwave was seen and felt at Dikson settlement. Thats 700km from ground zero. Windowpanes were broken 200km further than that. Windows in Norway and Finland were broken by the shockwave due to something called "atmospheric focusing". In case you didnt know, it wouldve given you 3rd degree burn 100km away. The seismic activity caused by the detonation circled the entire planet 3 times and was measured as Richter 8.1, despite being detonated 3.2km above ground. Do you know what a Richter 8 earthquake looks like? You are severely underestimating the AN602 and it shows.
About 9:06. Nuclear bombs are not really designed to be offensive weaponry (as in "ah, let us nuke this nation then take over it". Because, as you said, the radiation and destruction would make the land worthless.) Nuclear bombs are defensive weaponry. That whole fear of entire cities being wiped out in a second is a REALLY good deterrent. Its why the cold war was so... cold. Neither side wanted to attack because both sides had similar ideologies. Both sides loved their family, wives, kids, and didn't want to start an attack that could possibly put them at risk of being attacked by nuclear munitions. Also, In the cases when they were used/planned to be used. In japan, we dropped the nuclear bomb to avoid an arguably, much worse outcome. which would be the Japanese not surrendering, and due to their culture, every last man, woman, and child would fight to the death. A planned use was to stop the armored soviet advances into west Germany if the cold war became a real war. or, at least slow them down long enough for more NATO forces to arrive. again, not offensive. but a defensive tool. but yeah, that's why they are used. they are probably the best deterrent to keep a country from being attacked.
Yup, and the only reason they get bigger is because the people being threatened make sure to get on the same level as the ones threatening them, and then get higher to be the ones doing the threatening. And it just keeps going.
Todays conventional bombs can be as strong as the first atomic bombs. That, and it has been proven that you can use far more precise strikes to greater effect. In other words, something like the atomic bomb no longer has a role. There are other technologies now that are more effective than dropping a nuke, and nobody wants to deal with the MAD scenario
I imagine the soviets would have used nuclear metals instead of actual walls around their countries if a) radioactive isotopes in metal lasted longer b) wasn't already being used in warheads and c) was easy to mass produce. If we remove those factors, it almost sounds like a video game such as stalker.
@@abcdefghilihgfedcba That is entirely a myth. It is also a myth that the declaration of war by the USSR around the same time was the reason why they surrendered. They surrendered because we were threatening them with honorless annihilation from weapons that could annihilate cities. Imperial Japan didn't have the same logical reasoning as Europeans or the US. They believed in honor above all else. Dying because a single bomber dropped a miniature sun on your city was not acceptable. Surrender meant their civilization could regain their honor instead of being wiped out.
for the cpr thing at the end : i work at the emergencies department in a hospital, and we have a machine that will do the cpr itself so that we can do what we have to do without having someone stuck and be more efficient. The machine is called a LUCAS, it’s more efficient (success rate of about 20-25%), but to be efficient, it has to be placed right. And if it’s placed right, it will break ribs. 4 of them. While looking absolutely terrifying. There’s something that feels instinctively wrong and eerie about seeing a machine pumping on someone’s thorax and seeing the abdomen go up as the machine goes down in the most mechanical way imaginable.
Yep. I had a cardiac arrest, first responders did CPR for 40 minutes before I could be put in an ambulance and I was defibrillated 11 times that day. 5 broken ribs and a broken sternum. If you aren’t breaking ribs you aren’t pumping the heart.
maybe this will help you be less scared of wet bulb events -- you're right that humans don't have very precise sense of humidity percentages, BUT if this becomes a common danger, we'll definitely have warning systems, whether public alerts or personal devices. i carry a digital humidity meter on a lanyard, small and inexpensive, can def be altered to alert with noise or vibration, so these would become commonly available
the point of making bombs is to be feared. the same way you wouldn't try anything funny against someone with a gun, you wouldn't try something funny against someone with an atomic bomb. power is all and fear feeds it.
Could you imagine being a soviet scientist that help develop the Tsar? when it detonates and you see that your creation was so powerful it's blast circled the earth several times over?

Fun fact about the universe being metastable: It's not like it will rewrite physics and chemistry... It's just that matter may be in a very delicate state of equilibrium, barely standing on the edge of a cliff. If something, for some reason, knocks it down, it will be like Thanos snapping his fingers at the universe and EVERYTHING will start evaporating into energy (and turning into a more stable version of matter) at the speed of light. However, because of the expansion of the universe, this may already be happening in multiple places in the universe, but it will just never reach us because light cannot travel faster than the universe is expanding at those places. The universe may already be falling apart all around us and we don't even know. Worse: Earth could literally evaporate, at any time, faster than you can perceive, so you would just disappear without ever noticing... Bam! Instantly dead.
There's even more of an explanation to this as well, the whole reason we know that the universe is in a metastable condition right now is from the Higgs boson, if it's really heavy and large, it means thens are in oh shit mode, if it's really light, it's stable. Right now the weight of the Higgs boson is right in between those two thresholds so we call it metastable. We are at the center threshold of oh shit territory and we're fine territory. You are correct in this post. Also it's not called a sphere of influence as the videos says, it's called false vacuum decay. The sphere of influence is attributed to gravity I should add.
@@InvalidUser18so, we are like a kind of Schrödinger’s cat? Maybe we’ve split timelines, and in one we’ve already experienced a virtual Thanos snap, and in another we are still metastable, or maybe even stable. And the universe can become unstable at any moment, so really that’s an infinite number of multiverses being added all the time.
It’s worth stating that current research has us at around 50/50 odds of already being in the most stable state or the second most stable. There are also theories which predict that a new sphere of influence would immediately collapse into a point and cease to exist.
My Grandfather has stage 3 Alzheimer’s disease and to think that he had the disease when my mom (and my aunts) were young is mind-boggling. I know it’s a continuous disease but the fact that it starts that early in your life was so devastating yet so important, as someone as plans to become a neurologist.
Prion, as in one of the first facts that was mentioned - where once you have symptoms, you're too far gone - is pronounced as pree-on, for any one who wants to know.
Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease is probably the most common form of prion disease caused from cannibalism, particularly from eating the brain of another human. The body will absorb the protien from the brain. However it won't be able to break down the protein of a similar genetic makeup. So it causes those protein to fold which cause the plaque buildup.
The illness ones sound awful, hopefully our ability to understand exactly what's going wrong and diagnose in the early stages will improve. The helium thing? Ouch. Imagine all the balloons that have been frivolously tossed into the sky. I mean, obviously helium is cheap, they have balloons at the dollar store. Similar to the topsoil one...
If we ever attain fusion energy, we'd have a constant supply of it (being a byproduct of fusion, that have to be sequestered out of the reactor ) and s'why ppl don't care much about helium, since we're sure that fusion is possible.

My personal favorite fact of science that keeps me awake at night- insects do not need heads to “survive” the need to eat to sustain life, but function until they starve. There are moths born with no mouth that mate or starve if not both. No advanced brain, no lymbic system. No suffering. Is why you can see wasps behead themselves, pick up their heads and fly away. So do bugs feel starving? Or just impulses to consume? Which also means Spiders venom may be neurotoxic as well as a chemical to liquify victim’s insides, but it isn’t meant for insects… paralysis happens, but did the bug feel beforehand? 🧐
100% humidity is something you notice pretty easily as water around you will start to condense everywhere. Your own skin will be covered in sweat as it can't evaporate. What will save you at that time is access to fresh water. You'll need to drink extremely often because the water's temperature will be the only thing cooling you down. Also, you'll have to wipe out your sweat so your body can continue sweating warm water and allow the fresh water you've just drunk in your blood system.
We can't normally feel humidity, but once it starts to approach 100% you can definitely tell when you breathe it in. The whole "sphere of influence" thing is largely speculation, we're not really sure what would happen or if it's even possible (we would all die once it reaches us though, that part's true). The point of CPR isn't to resuscitate the person, but to keep oxygen moving around their body to increase the chance of survival once they are shocked with a defibrillator. In fact, if you find someone in need of CPR, you're alone, and there isn't a defib nearby, then the best course of action is actually to run and get the nearest defib before starting (or call for help but you get the point). If they're a child then you should do a couple of cycles of CPR first though. Facts 19 and 22 are exactly the same fact.
The sphere of influrence is somethind to do with a boson enegy tunnelig into an area of different energy state and physics and rewiting the laws of the universe this way the universe could end i beleve, is called a false vacuum
Getting a Defib will do nothing but talk to you unless the patient is in two specific rhythms V-Fib and V-Tach and it’s to stop the chaotic electrical activity in the the heart. The heart is still pumping, it’s just doing it too fast so it’s chambers cannot fill with blood. Shocking the heart kinda restarts it in a way. CPR can also reset the heart by trying to “kickstart it” similar to how rolling an old car down a hill can help the engine. If someone’s heart is actually flatlining with no beats at all they are probably not coming back. This is the case for most people. CPR is still considered one of the best ways to get someone back. Once again, shocking with a defib is only applicable in two situations and you should focus on compressions, not getting a defib since it will probably not even detect a shockable rhythm.
@@Blacksheep-ik7gx I won't argue with your science bc I'm not a doctor, I just happen to be first aid trained. CPR on its own though isn't very effective. The stat we were taught was that CPR without a defib has about a 4% chance of resuscitating someone who has gone into cardiac arrest, but it goes up to about 70% once you have a defib (obviously this is time dependent).
I knew the first 2. As a dog groomer we would always make sure to let pet parents know not to allow their dogs to swim anywhere for at least a week just to be safe.
6:17 On the other hand, this one is really fascinating. If this is actually reasonable evidence of very advanced life, that is really interesting. Even more like a Star Trek plot than the last one.
no really evidence yet but definitely a possible explanation. The result would be that there are actually a bunch of stars on that zone but we can't see them because that civilization is harvesting all the light coming from them. If we see a close start starting to dim and then disappear then we might be able to conclude that that's what is happening after all
On a side note, this could also be caused by the fact that the universe is metastable. If matter were to decay, it would do so in an almost perfectly spherical manner and, since the rate of expansion can be greater than the speed of light after some distance (and the decay would also spread close to the speed of light), it would become trapped and form a spherical shape of nothingness in the universe. Of course, it is very unlikely, but those regions of space may already exist - aka: the universe is decaying around us and there's no way for us to know.
I knew about this one but for another reason: It is speculated that this void could also be the result of a separate universe partially colliding with ours, which resulted in the absorbtion of that void's interestellar matter. Didn't know the theory about the alien civilization though.
I feel like another scary fact about cancer is some of types out there. A lot of cancers run in my family but I think the most unsettling one is this rare blood cancer that’s genetic. I can’t remember the specific name but I do know it takes a very long time to develop. My great aunt has it. She was diagnosed with it last year after she noticed an irritating rash that wouldn’t go away. Turns out she had this cancer for potentially a decade before. In her case her only treatment is an ointment to make the rash not painful or itchy because the doctors said she’ll be dead long before it becomes lethal. Not usually a thing you want to hear but she’s in her 80’s so she’s well aware of this fact. Though the idea that a cancer can just sit in your body unnoticed for that long and slowly deteriorate your health is scary to me. It’s like prions but in your bloodstream instead of your brain.
My mom an er nurse always told me its better to break ribs their ribs then not do chest compressions properly. She also recently said its better to do the compressions than to worry about blowing in. We actually have a family friend who survived 18 mins of chest compressions. It was the boonies and stupid administrative shit that caused an ambulance not to be called in. Thankfully he was with another friend who was a former priaon guard and emt. He ended up needing to be put into hypothermic therapy and took months to recover from his stroke but hes 86 and doing great everything considered. He was EXTREMELY lucky as a 70 year old to survive
When it comes to the Boots Void & the idea that a hyper advanced cavillation is causing the diming of stars by creating Dyson Shells, I came to understand via an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation. A Dyson Shell AKA Dyson Sphere is an enormous sphere the distance of Earth's orbit away from the star effectively tuning the whole inside surface of the sphere into a habitable super habitat to be able to be a home to that much larger of a population than Earth, I'm sure you can imagine the sheer landmass inside such a structure. Now picture that for not just one star but a whole GALAXY'S worth of them. That's an enormous population capable of incredible feats of engineering, such a civilization would be so far advanced compared to us it would be like our civilization compared to amoeba, with a population like that of all of Asia compared to that of one building in the Vatican.
The question is. If they're building a sphere of any kind, we should be able to see it's surface in some point, yet we don't. And also, if they're so advanced, why would they be building a sphere at all. Why not just colonize every planets they can actually reach. If their population makes offsprings so frequently that they need all that space to live in, then they wouldn't have survived at all. The answer I'm hoping not to get is that they're not building something to keep everything out, but something to keep something _inside_
@@yasininn76 "if they're so advanced why build a sphere at all" this whole thing revolves around the idea that building a sphere is a much further advanced (definitely most efficient) way of harvesting energy than scattering out over various different bodies
@@colorbugoriginals4457 how is it better to build a gynormous sphere around an entire galaxy than to just spread around various planets and harvest energy from there. The amount of time and resources to build something like that, even it was just made of paper would be astronomically worse in terms of means to do anything. It's like replacing a floor instead of cleaning the water that you just spilled on it. Maybe it would be more efficient to have such a giant area to spread energy harvesters on, but to build such an area you would basically needs masses the size of planets themselves of various materials.
@@yasininn76 it's simple math, making use of all of the available energy of one massive body is much more efficient than traveling around and spreading out. if you mean just plain expansion, the next stage is to build these spheres around additional stars. make sense?
Fun fact about story 4: they’ve found an alternative! Bacteriophages, while can be adapted to, are a good counter to bacteria adapted to antibiotics. If it’s immune to antibiotics, it’s not immune to bacteriophages and if it’s immune to bacteriophages, it’s not immune to antibiotics. They can’t be immune to both!
I live in a tropical, coastal city, sometimes, when humidity is too high, you just don't get coolder when you sweat. It just stays on your body and doesn't evaporate at all. The scariest one ever for me was around 2 years ago where even the cold water from the shower wasn't enough to cool you off, it was a bit panicking
the great attractor is such an eye roll for me. Its almost guaranteed to just be a point in space with nothing there, since its just the average point of all the matter in the general area. The idea that anything is there is purely science fiction in nature, unless there is a supersized black hole the size of galaxies(which we should be able to see because of the sheer size) then there isnt going to be anything there
Please don’t speak before you actually know what you’re talking about. The Great Attractor isn’t the important part. It’s just a possible explanation for an observed phenomenon. Which is the fact that many galaxies in a large region of space are moving towards something DESPITE the predicted movement that should be followed according to the expansion of the universe. The Great Attractor may or may not exist but the fact remains that many structures are moving in a way that we do not understand because it is not happening consistently with everything else we’ve observed. It doesn’t even need to be a single object like a galaxy sized black hole. Which in itself is a weird thing to say because the size of a galaxy is determined BY the size of the black hole. It can be multiple large galaxies influencing the gravity around them or even just a crazy gravitational mechanic that we haven’t experienced since you know, we still don’t know what or where gravity truly comes from. Also, assuming a black hole is big enough ‘to be seen’ like you claim… I think you should think that through. It’s called a black hole for a reason. If a black hole is big enough to where it’s pulling multiple galaxies, then we most likely wouldn’t see it. The mechanics behind that are exactly the same as a galaxy. Except in this case it’s essentially a galaxy made of galaxies. Which is different than the galaxy superclusters we know today. Those don’t orbit around a single black hole like I’m suggesting. It would be hard to see a black hole this size since we can’t even visually see the black hole in our OWN galaxy. Either way, it’s less about the THING and more about why the fuck nature is not behaving like science predicts.
Space shit is always scary but the fact that we have no way to see most of space as what it looks like currently makes it like a million times scarier.
Re: wet-bulb events, I'm sorry, but it's actually worse than that. Current research points to a wet-bulb temperature of 87 F/31 C when the relative humidity is over 50%.
Here is something about the antibiotic thing, there is a potential for an organism that can help treat resistant bacteria, otherwise known as superbugs. Bacteriophages are currently being used and tested on to treat diseases, and there are several cases of people having their diseases and conditions cured by bacteriophages.
SO, if any one of you feels an existential dread from any of the facts you've heard here (other than ones we could feasibly stop were everyone conscious of it and willing to work together) let me provide some insight that will likely cease your anxiety. I once had an existential crisis so bad that it bordered on a panic attack. It was about my own fear of ceasing to exist when I die. Mundane, I know. I eventually went to my father about this crushing dread, and he said ONE SENTENCE that eased the fear to basically nothing. "What good would worrying about it do?". It isn't something you can control. YOU are causing YOUR OWN anxiety and fear. Stop worrying about it. If it happens, it happens. It is what it is.
Not really? I mean to some extent, but most people don’t know how bacteria has become so much more resistant to it or the consequences this might have in a few decades.
We are NOT running out of helium. There were talks about it, yes, but that is the effect of a weird policy. We get our helium from the byproduct of extracting natural gases. We want to stop doing that eventually, but then we won't get our helium anymore. Turns out, we already know how to get helium without the natural gases thingy. We just never needed to do that. To oversimplify it, we only need to look for places where helium bubbled up and get trapped.
I'm grateful for learning CPR in health class. I actually had to perform CPR on my best friend because she tried to OD a couple months back. I managed to save her. She was taken to the hospital and released the same day. I'm glad she's still with me.
@@plumeriana yeah, this May, Aurora Borealis was visible in such places like Florida and Ireland, "as low as 26 degrees magnetic latitude" they say. One of the heaviest recorded geomagnetic storms.
On coronal mass ejections, can't we just prepare for them by simply turning everything off for a few days? On metastable vacuum decay, the chances of it happening are so low that they are basically zero. Except that we don't know for sure because you can't observe vacuum decay without becoming part of the vacuum decay.
@@michaeledmunds7056 yeah. It'll happen, because the other choice is overall destruction and destabalization, but either way it would probably be one of the most deadly and tragic events in history. I mean, the amount of death that would happen from patients in hospitals depending on electricty to keep them alive alone will put it up there.
15:00 Astrophysics student here, there is already a curtain. Because light that leaves a surface carries with it information about the surface when it left, then takes a very long time to reach us, when we see light coming from the stars it's thousands/millions/billions of years old. With our best telescopes, as we look as far as we can see, we are hit with a wall of radiation noise. This is coming from the very early universe, before stars, where the universe was just a hot soup of particles. As time progresses, light has had more time to reach us, so the wall expands a little, but as we accelerate due to the expansion of the universe the wall shrinks a little. My understanding of this is a little nebulous. But eventually, in billions maybe trillions of years time, a civilisation in the milky way would look out into the sky and see only our local stars and our few most local galaxies (which may have merged with the milky way by this point), and assume that this is all there ever was
As for the last story, it's true, but there would also be thousands of other galaxies between your two destinations (currently) that you could change course to visit instead, so it's not all bad
Ask your professors to fast-forward to the heat death of the Universe and past it, to the point where the observable Universe is about 37 gigalights and it acts like an inverted black hole. That's when crap really gets interesting, for "Poincare Conjecture" definitions of interesting. It's almost more philosophy than math. Assuming we're right about the far future, anyway.
@@BronzeDragon133 so I heard, but you must remember we aren't even right about the present yet. These things are fun to think about, but there's no use assuming they're fact just yet, theres still too much we dont know
I thought I was going to learn something new. Instead, these are things I already knew and was hoping had already become common knowledge. I don't think my heart can sink lower... Please, all the things in this video that are important for people to know, talk about it! Keep talking about it until it's impossible to ignore. Don't buy helium, don't expose your dog to wildlife and bodies of water after flea treatment, find out any way you can be part of the solution for the world around you, not the problem. Please keep trying. Just because you don't have the power to change everything doesn't mean you have nothing. Too many people give up because all they can see is macro. Change starts with the micro. If it helps, I'm disabled, poor, and chronically homeless. I still find ways to make a difference, it's just harder. But it's not impossible. And kill your lawn, also.
The thing about our topsoil and Aquifer water problems is that both are completely solvable. Instead of having flat compacted land where nothing lives, try adding catchments (basically trenches and hills) that slow water down so it can absorb into the ground. Topsoil can be fixed by literally farming better. Instead of all one crop and using tons of pesticides, we should be plating multiple crops together and using way less pesticides. Fun fact pesticides make plants weaker not stronger as it kills all the symbiotic life in the soil and inside the plant that promote its health and ability to handle stress. So by overusing pesticides we are essentially making plants weak enough that bugs want to eat them further increasing the need for pesticides. This is how big agribusinesses create a virtuous cycle that forces farmers to buy their BS. With modern technology and regenerative agriculture/ permaculture we can literally fight climate change, helping the local environment, have healthier better tasting food from healthier plants, not need to use topsoil from elsewhere, and do so with less water as beneficial soil fungus and microbes will help the plants moisture and nutrient absortion. It is also cheaper for a farmer to not have to buy nearly as many inputs just to grow plants.

13:05 I live in Eastern Europe and once travelled to Kuala Lumpur. I was used to heat, but the humidity on top of it was really challenging to tolerate. The locals were used to it and it's a matter of time for others too, but you can definitely feel the humidity. It's like being in a steamy sauna. You will feel it, because your body hates it. If you cool off it's not dangerous, maybe only for the elderly. I'm glad there was an air conditioned mall on every corner. The wind also helps a lot
Extra fun fact about story 20 this is called vacuum decay and it happens when if the rules of physics change it cascades and spreads at the speed of light
Even worse, it's posited to have already occurred. Fortunately, it's most likely in high-energy and wildly tortured spaces, like black holes or very near them, and propagation out of a black hole is not possible. The time slowdown very close to the event horizon of the black hole means that speed-of-light propagation away from the black hole would also take a very, very long time to begin with. And, of course, space itself is expanding. If said black hole falls over our Universal horizon before the decay horizon passes into our visible Universe, it will never reach us.
@@BronzeDragon133 Or thar we're INSIDE of such 'bubble' of vacuum decay, eating a higher energy universe, if so, the 'universal horizon' may not exist since there is no 'universe' beyont the bubble barrier for us (as the bubble is eating or have already eaten the previous universe )
@@KlavierMenn We already know this to be true. Our Universe is the collapse of the Inflationary Field, which is of fantastically high energy. Given its characteristics, it does still exist out there, constantly inflating and collapsing, eternally, creating new Universes in ever-uncountably-greater numbers. Forever. You can't access it as it expands at far faster than the speed of light and our space-time doesn't exist within the field itself. And that's the simplest version of the theory that must be true...
If i remember correctly a study i saw a while back they stated that we have degraded 2 or 3 nutrients in our crops due to modern farming practices to the point that they are not enough of that nutrient anymore.
Not a scientist. A lot of people think that the next big destruction-event will be caused by something like an asteroid or the sun exploding or something, but the truth is that it might be bubbling beneath the Earth's surface. Right now, there is a supervolcano under Yellowstone Park that, if it explodes, could coat a huge chunk of the United States of America in burning ash. The Yellowstone National Park would be erased from the face of the Earth, with molten ash blanketing much of the country. The weight of the ash would potentially collapse roofs, down power lines, pollute water supplies, ground flights, and basically throw the entire grid of the US into disarray. Hospitals would be full of people coughing up blood from the silicates in their lungs. If it happened during the grow season, ash would likely wipe out much of the US' corn and soy supply, with much of the US' farmland likely being poisoned for a generation. This would likely also cause a worldwide volcanic winter, which could cause the global temperature to plunge 18 degrees Fahrenheit for an entire decade, which could cause a worldwide starvation event. There would be no part of the world that would be unaffected by this, much less the Continental US. Thankfully, it's estimated that the odds of this happening anytime soon are extremely low.

9:12 the point behind making nukes so powerful and having so many of them is to make sure that if your country gets nuked, whoever nuked you also gets nuked. It's called mutually assured destruction and while it has avoided the nuclear nations of using nukes in war, it has also almost brought us to nuclear war by accident many times from the 50s to the 90s. The closest accident has ever brought us to nuclear war was in 1995, when a norwegian research rocket was misidentified as a ICBM by russian early warning systems, that caused the country to prepare it's entire nuclear arsenal against NATO and the only thing that avoided that was that Boris Yeltsin (russian president at the time) decided to wait a bit before pressing the button in his nuclear briefcase, in that time they realised that the rocket's trajecture wasn't going to make it crash into russia but instead go into space. The channel Paper Skies made a really good video about that accident.
6:34 Actually the reason why is not that scary, one of the parameters to measure the intelligence of a civilization is how much energy they use and were it comes from, maybe that civilization just adapted to use the energy from multiple stars and galaxies, making it invisible because they use all the light. Yes, it is still scary that they have colonized that many galaxies so there is two alternatives: this form of live is super diplomatic or is a dictatorship… I hope is the first one.
Also, as the dyson Sphere would likely be bigger than the earths orbit, IE we'd be on the inside of the sphere, we could actually continue to live our lives more or less unaffected while they built the sphere around our sun. All that would happen would be that the night-time sky would look very different and astronomers would have something very different to study.
If the aliens are something like us, with our morals too, I feel like dictatorship would not work at a grand scale, what are they gonna do, destroy 500,000 planets with all their population being rebels?
If they’re harvesting all the stars to the point of the stars disappearing, then I’m sorry, that’s a dictatorship. A diplomatic civilization would respect the stars, not destroy them.

Rabies and Alzheimer's are in fact both prion diseases, so yes, "like rabies" is a good way to describe prion diseases. Mad cow disease is another well known prion disease. Also, another scary fact is that several decades of Alzheimer's research was based on a lie that was covered up and only recently did researchers realize this and focus on different research leads
This is false. Rabies is caused by lyssavirus. Alzheimer’s is a plaque build up on nerve axions which seems to be associated with a dopamine decrease. Prion disease does cause mad cow disease it is a misfolding protein. Most often in humans the cause seems to stem from eating infected brain matter.
@@troybaxter one of the big parts of scientific methodologies is the idea of repeatable results. Scientific breakthroughs and papers are usually thoroughly tested and scrutinized, but problems arise when this process isn't completed. The Alzheimer's research issue is a case of possibly manipulated test results, which basically means that scientists were barking up the wrong tree as a result. It's like if a witness gives false information to a detective. That being said, most research is traceable and cross referenced, so this happens rarely.

Story 19. There will come a time when Universal Expansion will make it to where we cannot see any other galaxies besides those near us right now. And eventually all those galaxies will merge into one Super Galaxy. This Horizon though is different though. Say the Speed of Light was 100 miles per hour. You have two vehicles that start in the same spot on a long stretch of road. They start moving away from each other at a steady rate of acceleration, say 5 mph per hour per hour (starting at 5 mph the first hour, then adding 5 more mph every hour to that). So first hour they are moving apart at 10 mph (their combined speeds of seperation). Next hour they are moving apart at 20 mph, third at 30 mph, and so on. By the tenth hour they are now moving apart at 100 mph, our Speed of Light. So any light they give off will now be moving exactly as fast as the two vehicles are seperating. So that light will no longer be able to be seen by the other vehicle, which won't know that until several more hours pass as the light already given off at lower speeds can still catch up some, taking longer and longer to do so; until finally no more gets to us. Now no object can move faster than Light. So the galaxies cannot move even close to light speed. But we do know many are moving away from us at incredible speeds and getting faster. This is not due to them speeding up or us slowing down though. This is due to Hubble Expansion, which is literally New Space popping into existence between everything in the Universe. And the further away something is, the more New Space comes into existence and pushes them further apart. It is possibly how the Universe started all those Billions of years ago and the process is still going on.
So in that case if we are moving faster and faster until we are moving apart as fast as the speed of light, would we speed up even faster than the speed of light? If so that means that we would see the galaxy we are moving away from in reverse where the galaxy is getting younger until eventually we see it form in reverse until it’s nothing.
@@vayr880 As I said it is not actual speed, but Hubble Expansion that is causing this simulated speed. Think of it this way. You get in a car and start driving at 30 miles per hour from an observer. After every 3 miles you drive, another mile appears between you and the observer. The observer did not move. And you did not increase speed. But after 1 hour instead of 30 miles being between you and the observer, 40 miles are between you and the observer. After 10 hours of this 100 extra miles would be appearing between you and the observer. And as we set the speed of light at 100 mph, past this point the distance appearing between you and the observer is now more distance than light can cross in the time that new space appears. Thus no more light can get to the observer from your car. And vise versa. With Hubble expansion we are really close to pure magic here. Distance is increasing, but no new speed is being added.

Story 12 about the nuclear warheads... What you do not understand is that the enemy is the human race. It will take another few years for people to catch on sadly. Let's see if we make it.
When I took my first, first aid class the teacher did say that the success rate for cpr was like 5% sometimes even 10%. And he asked us, "So why do we do cpr anyway?"
And I said, "Because 5% is better then 0%?"
He told me how he loved my optimism but its really so we can buy time for medics to arrive and bring up their chances for survival higher.
_but its really so we can buy time for medics to arrive and bring up their chances for survival higher._
So in reality the survival rate is actually way higher, it's just that CPR *alone* has a low chance of success? Well, doesn't that just mitigate the whole 5-10% thing when CPR works way way better than that.
Mine also said they might be in coma if CPR is successful, or need rehabilitation but they are recoverable until the trained medics arrive . It's better than someone dying. Sometimes you don't need to perform CPR and you put them in the recovery position.assess the situation.
I'm more knowledgeable about choking and burns now 😂. I get to practice choking prevention on my mum who manages to choke on drinking her water 🙄
No you’re right
My neighbor had a serious heart condition (effectively a time bomb) that caused him to have a massive heart attack at work. His colleagues started with chest compressions right away (don’t know if there was CPR too, likely), the hospital was nearby, and even though they lost him a few times they were able to save him. The rehab was massive and he will never be quite the same, but he came back wonderfully. It was a joy to witness. He had a very young son at the time. There were several weeks when things were really up in the air.that was all about 15 years ago. He’s still doing great. (And he was able to go back to work… as a rocket scientist!)
Immaculate grammar LoLz
The cpr fact actually gave me a bit of closure, last year i did cpr on a family member who suffered from a heart attack, I did it for 15 minutes before the paramedics arrived, he didn't make it, but I was so sure cpr would have saved him because I always heard about the success stories instead of the failed ones
Seeing CPR frequently and seeing it fail frequently in my hospital job really opened my eyes.
I'm so sorry that happened to you. Thank you for trying your best. You did well to keep at it. It's not your fault.
cpr isn't supposed to "save" anyone, it's to keep them from going brain dead until the paramedics get there.
I heard only 4% of cpr patients make it :/
Me too. My dad is an EMT and my mama was chronically ill. When she died he did CPR on her for over an hour without stopping while his fellow EMTs arrived in an ambulance and prepared everything for transport. Being the child of an EMT i knew that the longer it went on, the less of a chance she had because it meant her brain wasnt getting enough oxygen. I never realized the chances were that low, my dad probably didn't want to admit it.
I wanted to add a fun fact about Botox. Yes, it is used to make the wrinkles go away. But it's also used in other applications. For instance, there's a bladder condition that causes painful spasms. The condition is called interstitial cystitis. Botox injections are used to calm the spasms.
I have a throat condition that's only been recognised by the scientific community in the last couple years or so. There's an experimental treatment involving a botox injection that's had good results so far. Going to wait until its a condition recognised by my healthcare system (hopefully) before going for the treatment myself.
It find a wonderful use in calming intractable chronic migraines; a condition I suffer from (but I don't need the Botox, fortunately). Chronic migraines can be, as in my case, such that you have 25 migraine days a month. Post treatment, that's 4--and they're incredibly minor.
I wish my doctor would approve that. But I'm sure she won't. 😔
I think there’s a nerve related GI condition it helps too!
I had gastroparesis which means my stomach was partially paralyzed, they injected one part of my stomach with Botox that makes it no longer trap food inside, letting it digest faster. Pretty cool I think!
Related to story 6. We might be running out of the easiest source of helium, that which we get from natural gas reservoirs, but we will never run out. 99% of all Helium on Earth is from alpha decay of larger elements. So long as there are larger elements, we will always have a source of helium. We just need to develop better ways of extracting in sufficient quantity.
While that may be true, it will drive up the costs. Medical costs are scary high as it is. Basically, something too expensive to extract is the same as not existing in this context.
@@Alverant which will be the reason we finally switch MRIs over to higher temperature superconductors and not niobium-titanium which requires liquid helium. High costs always accelerate innovation.

you can definitely feel changes in humidity, as someone that used to live on the Gulf coast & now lives inland, whenever i visit it feels like the air is hugging me
Where I live the weather is SUPPOSED to be comfortable year round, but as of the last decade, its become notably more humid and gross. Its super annoying and uncomfortable and the fact that it may soon become lethal more often than not (because let's face it corporations are gonna squeeze the earth for every resource they can get their hands on until its fully depleted) really worries me.
As someone that lives in a very humid tropical area:
High humidity (70%+) feels like being inside a sauna at all times. You'll start sweating seemingly nonstop and your clothes will become very wet really fast, sometimes even if you are literally doing nothing (if it's hot enough or you are under the sun).
Since you can't sweat to regulate temperature properly, this also makes so you perceive temperature as being way hotter than it actually is. During summer in some tropical areas, heatstroke is incredibly common and more poor people die because of the heat than because of the cold during winter (tropical winters usually don't go below 16°C).
of course. I wondered why he doesn´t know about it. in Summer it can be humid and not very humid where I live.
Perhaps it may surprise some folks to know that wet bulb weather can happen in the Canadian summers. Folks in Ontario can get significant humidity from the great lakes, but if you don't live near the shore you lose out on the cooling from their being heat sinks connected to the breeze.
In Virginia it hits 100% humidity at high temperatures all the time, never thought it was a big deal 🤔
RE: wet bulb events
Chances are you would feel the event. It wouldn't necessarily feel hot unless it's already hot out, but you'd be able to feel the humidity at such high levels. With those kinds of humidity levels you can FEEL the water condensing on your skin. The problem comes in when you mistake it for sweat. Either way, once you start showing symptoms (said symptoms are synonymous with those of heatstroke because it's practically the same thing) you're still not done for provided you can get into a temperature-controlled location ASAP and have a cold drink (preferably water) on you. An important note, though - if you feel as if your eyes are bulging out of your skull, GO TO THE HOSPITAL. This means that your body is pulling its last defenses to cool you down. Your blood-brain barrier has been breached and water is flooding your skull. It will compress your brain against the walls of your skull (hydrocephalus) and that's when you'll die.
(Source: I have been in a lot of extreme weather)
Also at those temperatures and humidities fans become completely pointless. The air is a warm as you (or even warmer) and the air can't absorb any of your sweat
I live in a humid area and I think I've felt all the symptoms you've described here on a hot day.
@@Nobody-il6mq
Well, as he said, the symptoms are synonymous with those of heatstroke.
Yeah I was like:
You do feel the humidity
Humans have literally evolved to feel humidity
When I was in Kuwait City in 2008 I experienced one of these events. IIRC, the temperature was nearly 120F/49C with over 80% humidity. I went outside to smoke a cigarette and made it about 3 minutes before I went "f*ck this!", snuffed out the cigarette, and ran back into the air-conditioned building. 0/10, do not recommend.

About rabies: A girl survived without vaccine by being put in a coma to wait out the symptoms. It's also treatable if you get the vaccine right after being bit/infected. The coma treatment has gone nowhere it seems, which is really disappointing.
depends where you get bitten. if you got bitten on the leg, you have a decent chunk of time to get a vaccine. If you get bitten, say, in the neck, you need to get to the doctor instantly.
It's all about the blood-brain barrier. Once it passes that barrier you are done for. But yes, there was a success story with medically induced coma to save the brain while they waited it out, which did work, and at least gives some hope however small.
They have tried with the coma route (known as the Milwaukee Protocol), but it has very low success rates as far as I am aware. Not to mention that even if you do survive, you are almost guaranteed to have brain damage and have to try to relearn how to walk, talk, eat, etc.
No doctor but everything depends on success rate and this applies on all industries. Eliminated means something went wrong and success rate is too low. It's common sense.
There are over 50k cases per year, globally, and it's been killing people since 2000 BC. The Milwaukee protocol has resulted in 3 people surviving since 2004. 20 years X 50k cases/yr = 1 million cases. 3 in 1M is better odds than ever, but that's pretty freaking bleak if you ask me
I can personally speak on what 95F with 100% relative humidity feels like. It is unmissable. The air feels thick and harder to breathe, you sweat instantly and are just soaked with sweat and it doesn't dry. It is oppressive and suffocating. Also, Captain Kirk, and nobody from the Star Trek universe would be frightened by the last fact, since they have methods of travel that go much, much faster than the speed of light, especially by the time they master transwarp drives.
I was once in 118 degree heat at 100% humidity. It's awful. You literally run out of breath barely doing anything and it feels like breathing is pointless. Luckily we had a nice heat pump so going inside it was actually too cold lol.
So like a sauna.
😊
35°C for the rest of the world
sauna? what? general saunas go up to 60% humidity.
the only thing with 100% humidity is a steambath. but maybe you live in a part of the world where they have saunas with 100% humidity. but i think thats very unlikely and at least in my country i havnt been to a sauna with 100% humidity.
I've got one for you: nerve toxins are STUPID easy to make. In grad school, I had a project where I was trying to make [no one fucking cares] and I came up with what I thought was a brilliant plan to get there by a series of reactions. While doing more research on the idea, I discovered that one of my planned intermediates was Sarin (a literal chemical weapon). The median lethal dose is around 40 micrograms per kilogram of body weight, so if you're a large, full-grown man (100 kg, bigg boi) it only takes 4 milligrams to take you out, and I could have made 100 grams of it in a week--enough to kill over TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE. There are hundreds (thousands?) of labs around the country that have the same materials and equipment I had access to. All of the chemicals required are available in bulk from normal chemical supply houses, and none are subject to particularly stringent regulation.
Also btw it's pronounced "boo-OH-tees" but whatevs, you did your best 👍
now im curious on how to make it even though its definitely not a good idea to share

Regarding lead pipes in older homes; it's common in North America too, but hard water will coat the insides with calcium and lime, making the lead not leech into the water. It's been so long since lead has been used in plumbing that most houses with it will have a good thick layer of buildup.
its fragile though and can be disturbed by groundwork and earthquakrd
the lead pipe should be rwplaced before its too late
r/ihadastroke@@ViciousVinnyD
@@SlabFor1 the lead went to my head
@@ViciousVinnyD Also if the water source is changed to a different source which is more acidic, it could suddenly start leeching lead into the water. That's what happened with Flint when they got taken over by a state manager who switched their water to a cheaper source which had more industrial contamination and destroyed the lead pipes, causing the water crisis
That's what happened in Flint, MI. The change from the harder water source to the softer water source caused leaching of the lead in the lead pipes of the city's water. Soft water dissolves the mineral build up in the lead pipes. All the government had to do was add minerals to prevent this from happening but the GOP lead state government that appointed the Flint City Board said "it would cost too much", meaning they didn't think adding a few thousand dollars worth of minerals in the water was worth it to what they think is "worthless people". They have said as much.
CME's are actually a daily occurence, but most either miss earth entirely, or are far too weak to cause any harm
People also just tend to vastly overestimate how vast the distances inbetween objects in space are, even within our solar system. The likelihood of any individual CME hitting our planet is very low, due to all the potential directions it might go to, and how tiny and distant our planet is from our sun's perspective
@@DaveGrean they also forget that we can predict and safeguard technology.
A few weeks ago one hit Earth and caused almost no damage, but auroras could be seen as far from the poles as Europe. And next year there is a good chance we'll get hit by a few more as the Sun is entering his solar maximum, which is when the Sun basically causes the most CMEs.

Scariest one about weather here:
Tornadoes windspeeds aren’t what kill you, in fact, you can survive those windspeeds. It’s the debris that slowly kill you and rip you apart or to shreds. If you survive that you’d likely die from falling or being launched at a high speed and hitting the ground. In some of the most intense tornadoes (Like the one in Jarrell Texas), every hole of you will be caked or filled with mud, and parts of you can be ripped off from debris itself or the mud. In tornadoes like the Jarrell Texas tornado, your eyes, mouth, nose, and everything will be filled with mud, and you’d likely be unrecognizable. One last scary tornado fact, EF5 tornadoes are not survivable above ground, however, with strong ones like the Phil Campbell tornado, you can also not be safe underground as they can rip roofs off storm shelters that are made specifically to survive tornadoes.
That's kinda like saying that breathing in water doesn't actually kill you, it's only the absence of oxygen that causes you to drown.
Plus the air is flowing so fast that asphyxiation is a thing.
Its interesting how where we grow up can alter the fear of certain facts. We were taught to prepare for debris, not the winds in tornado alley.
Here is another scary thing about EF5's, the dirt that there can rip up can contain fungal spores, called Mucormycosis, in them, by the way they are natural occurring, if you are unlucky to get cut from any debris and the have the dirt get into that wound, you likely will get infected by it, this happened in the Joplin EF-5, 13 people were infected by it, and 5 died as result of it. I quite surprise that something like this doesn't happen more often
On the plus side… any species that has a “Dyson galaxy” would almost certainly have no need to ever seek additional resources and therefore unlikely to ever take an interest in us or get all freaked out about the dark forest hypothesis.
Honestly, a civilization at that point would be focused on research and uplifting other species, I'd think
@@ZananoQuinito Basically gods.
@@ZananoQuinito Uhm, how would you know this? That is a very optimistic view of the universe and its possibilities.
@thedirector192 No need? Most likely correct, at least with our current understandings. OTOH, I could easily picture many human civilizations who have everything they need, and they don't stop trying to get more. So.... I don't necessarily agree with your conclusion.
i think it's more likely a civilization advances much faster when they cooperate. therefore the probability of them being peaceful should be higher.
but of course, this is just a guess. i think if a civilization can create multiple dison spheres, they won't care so much about us. we cannot even make a single one, not now and not in the near future. we won't benefit or harm them. so we are probably not very interesting for them. why should they do anything to us. we mean to them less than an ant means to you.
on the other hand they might want to build an interplanetary highway through our earth... in that case don't panic.
It's not about being morally correct, it's more about natural selection.
If you have a region of the universe with many different kinds of alien civilisations, after a long time passes, the greedy conquering aliens will be the most ubiquitous, since they conquered everything else.

Back in the late 19th Century, New York City did some planning for the future, and had the New York State government set aside every valley in a 200km radius north of NYC for use as reservoirs. There is now an extensive system of reserviors and aqueducts throughout the mid-Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains that contains NYC's drinking-water supply. But before the water reaches NYC and enters the water-mains, it's sent through a sanitation and oxidation system that ensures it's purity. It's actually cleaner than bottled water, and is why the NYC municipal water system is known as "The Champaigne of Public Drinking Water."
The pipes _in the buildings,_ however, may not be in the best condition, and will end up leaving bad tastes in that excellent tap water.
Then there's Long Island, which lies to the east of Manhattan. Long Island is a terminal morraine left behind by the retreat of the glaciers, resulting in a gigantic natural filter. The water-table below Long Island was, therefore, some of the cleanest in the world. Then the suburbs basically covered all of Long Island during the 1950s-1970s, leading to a lot of pollution being sent down septic tanks, spread on lawns, send into sewers. There was a massive program during the 1970s to switch everyone over to public sewers, but the damage had been done: various chemicals were making their way down into the once-pristine water table. Sadly, all of those layers of glacier-separated rock cannot filter something as small as molecules, and the once excellent water of Long Island is being ruined.

Fun fact about prions
Pigs and boars are more resistant to prion diseases, *though not immune,* than other mammals
This could be because porcine sows engage in cannibalizing their own piglets if environmental conditions are not right, the sow is stressed, or any number of conditions are not met
This is also why we didn’t see mad pork disease or really any BSE or CJD in pork.
Don't many mammals do that (I even heard relates of HUMANS doing it)?
Some humans are also immune to prions that come from a heavy lineage of cannibalism
I wonder if that’s true for other species that do the same thing, like rabbits and hamsters
@KlavierMenn yes they do. A mother cat oftentimes will. The theory behind why animals eat their young is there's something wrong with some or all of the litter. A mother animal puts so much work into a pregnancy and the birthing process that she eats them to reabsorb all the nutrients.
Young mothers have been known to eat a limb or a newborn on accident during cleaning or umbilical removal.
Some animals are also known to consume their young if they feel threatened by a predator. (Stress)

To correct something from story 8. It wouldn't be a level 3 civilization. It would be a 5 or 6!!
To quickly explain:
level 1 means that civilization can use 100% of the power of their home planet [we're no more than a 0.85]
level 2 = 100% of their home solar system
level 3 = 100% of their home galaxy
...
I'm just going to leave this for someone to laugh at. I forgot how extreme the jumps were between levels. Level 4 isn't several 100 galaxies. it's 100% of their home universe!

10:30, The most recent coronal mass ejection was 4 days before this video was posted. It caused a G3 geomagnetic storm, the M flare caused an R1 radio blackout over South America also
I believe the last super dangerous one was on July 23rd 2012. It was an extremely powerful CME that barely missed the Earth (by a margin of approximately 9 days)
The general consensus was that if it hit the Earth it would have been AT LEAST as powerful as the Carrington Event that took place on September 1st to 2nd 1859...the one mentioned in the video
@@Cybersomnia That's so interesting to know. Also Solar Storms scare me too.
11:29 that's a bit hyperbolic.
A CME wouldn't just delete every above-ground wire. Many of them, particularly the power grid, would likely need to be disconnected for safety, and some damage would still occur.
Large portions of the grid would be ready to turn back on as soon as the CME passes. Turning the grid on is complicated enough that handling a complete shutdown will likely take days or weeks, but there will still be enough of a grid to turn back on, and it'll still provide enough power for society to be recognizable.
There will likely be permanent damage. Some places, may be flat-out disconnected. And the grid will have less redundancy to rely on, meaning that it might not be as reliable. There will also be less power to go around, meaning higher electricity prices.
And the shorter a wire is, the less likely it is to be affected. Any small devices - phones, computers, and potentially even buildings and vehicles - are likely to be completely unscathed, unless damaged by the power grid (which can be prevented with the correct use of circuit breakers and surge protectors).
In short, the damage will be extensive, and the disruption to non-damaged systems serious, but a mini dark age is incredibly unlikely.
Could it vary due to the strength of the CME? Like an extremely strong one could send us into a mini dark age?
Imagine life without phones.
9:05 High school bully behavior is the exact point of nuclear strategy. Everybody is big and strong and capable of destroying each other, but everybody is too afraid to do it because they can all destroy each other.
The point of nuclear weapons is not to be used in wars. They are meant to prevent wars from starting. Sure, lots of wars have started since World War II, but it is important to realize that essentially no major powers have directly fought since then. Why? Because nuclear weapons make everybody too scared to drag the whole world into another war. Wars stay regional now. There is rarely direct intervention from another nuclear power if a nuclear power is already directly involved.
Peace through strength is the name of the game. World War III if fought will be fought with nuclear weapons over about half an hour, but the question is, will World War III even be fought? So far, it seems to be no.
But if nobody had the ability to destroy everybody, nobody would be afraid to start a war that would drag everybody in. Until World War II, Europe got dragged into a major continental conflict every few decades. But, then the secrets of fission and then fusion are discovered, and since 1945 the European nations have been mostly peaceful with each other (Eurasia not so much, but Europe has been pretty good.).
However, as soon as nuclear weapons are used, they lose all of their value. The deterrence is based on the fact that you _do not_ use nuclear weapons but you are _threatening_ to use them. Shock value. "I am going to do the thing that I am not supposed to do." This keeps them relevant. Nuclear weapons as weapons are nowhere nearly as valuable. They are just big bombs. As long as you do not use them, you show that they have value. That they are far too valuable to be used on just anything. You are holding back, and therefore your enemy does not want to make you stop holding back. "I believe that my nuclear adversary is the spawn of Satan, but even he does not want to use nuclear weapons unless he has to. Therefore, nuclear weapons must be so awful that I ought to not provoke him." But, as soon as you use a nuclear weapon, you show that it is just a bomb. It is no longer forbidden, it no longer has shock value. You use it and it becomes worthless. Then your enemy uses all of his on you, because they are worthless and because you clearly are willing to use yours on him.
As soon as nuclear weapons become worthless, a country with an arsenal no longer has its power. You hold the ability to destroy the world over your enemy's head so that you can bargain. You bargain for peace, via the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction. As soon as you use your arsenal and it loses its value, you no longer have your bargaining chips and you can no longer bargain for peace, you are powerless. So, you do not use nuclear weapons.
Having the power to use nuclear weapons means not using nuclear weapons because you lose the power that your nuclear weapons give you. And nobody would willingly give up power.
And then there was a certain nutcase who discussed nuking North Korea and blaming somebody else. Nor was it the only time said nutcase suggested attacking another country under a false flag.

The Tsar Bomba shattering windows in Denmark is just straight up bs.
What about in finland
@@Sezenian what else just so i can ease my mind?
also it only circled the earth 3 times
also, I heard it was actually a non-radioactive bomb and as such only slightly "scorches the earth", it would just turn the relatively immediate area into a clear-from-even-nature zone rather then make a much, MUCH, larger area very unlivable and cause complications worldwide wide.
The shockwave was seen and felt at Dikson settlement. Thats 700km from ground zero. Windowpanes were broken 200km further than that. Windows in Norway and Finland were broken by the shockwave due to something called "atmospheric focusing".
In case you didnt know, it wouldve given you 3rd degree burn 100km away. The seismic activity caused by the detonation circled the entire planet 3 times and was measured as Richter 8.1, despite being detonated 3.2km above ground. Do you know what a Richter 8 earthquake looks like? You are severely underestimating the AN602 and it shows.
About 9:06.
Nuclear bombs are not really designed to be offensive weaponry (as in "ah, let us nuke this nation then take over it". Because, as you said, the radiation and destruction would make the land worthless.)
Nuclear bombs are defensive weaponry. That whole fear of entire cities being wiped out in a second is a REALLY good deterrent. Its why the cold war was so... cold. Neither side wanted to attack because both sides had similar ideologies. Both sides loved their family, wives, kids, and didn't want to start an attack that could possibly put them at risk of being attacked by nuclear munitions.
Also, In the cases when they were used/planned to be used. In japan, we dropped the nuclear bomb to avoid an arguably, much worse outcome. which would be the Japanese not surrendering, and due to their culture, every last man, woman, and child would fight to the death.
A planned use was to stop the armored soviet advances into west Germany if the cold war became a real war. or, at least slow them down long enough for more NATO forces to arrive. again, not offensive. but a defensive tool.
but yeah, that's why they are used. they are probably the best deterrent to keep a country from being attacked.
Yup, and the only reason they get bigger is because the people being threatened make sure to get on the same level as the ones threatening them, and then get higher to be the ones doing the threatening. And it just keeps going.
Todays conventional bombs can be as strong as the first atomic bombs. That, and it has been proven that you can use far more precise strikes to greater effect. In other words, something like the atomic bomb no longer has a role. There are other technologies now that are more effective than dropping a nuke, and nobody wants to deal with the MAD scenario
I imagine the soviets would have used nuclear metals instead of actual walls around their countries if a) radioactive isotopes in metal lasted longer b) wasn't already being used in warheads and c) was easy to mass produce.
If we remove those factors, it almost sounds like a video game such as stalker.
The nuclear bombs on Japan were used purely to test out the weapons. Japan had already decided to surrender by then.
@@abcdefghilihgfedcba That is entirely a myth. It is also a myth that the declaration of war by the USSR around the same time was the reason why they surrendered.
They surrendered because we were threatening them with honorless annihilation from weapons that could annihilate cities. Imperial Japan didn't have the same logical reasoning as Europeans or the US. They believed in honor above all else. Dying because a single bomber dropped a miniature sun on your city was not acceptable.
Surrender meant their civilization could regain their honor instead of being wiped out.
for the cpr thing at the end : i work at the emergencies department in a hospital, and we have a machine that will do the cpr itself so that we can do what we have to do without having someone stuck and be more efficient. The machine is called a LUCAS, it’s more efficient (success rate of about 20-25%), but to be efficient, it has to be placed right. And if it’s placed right, it will break ribs. 4 of them. While looking absolutely terrifying. There’s something that feels instinctively wrong and eerie about seeing a machine pumping on someone’s thorax and seeing the abdomen go up as the machine goes down in the most mechanical way imaginable.
Yep. I had a cardiac arrest, first responders did CPR for 40 minutes before I could be put in an ambulance and I was defibrillated 11 times that day. 5 broken ribs and a broken sternum. If you aren’t breaking ribs you aren’t pumping the heart.
maybe this will help you be less scared of wet bulb events -- you're right that humans don't have very precise sense of humidity percentages, BUT if this becomes a common danger, we'll definitely have warning systems, whether public alerts or personal devices. i carry a digital humidity meter on a lanyard, small and inexpensive, can def be altered to alert with noise or vibration, so these would become commonly available

Fun fact about the universe being metastable:
It's not like it will rewrite physics and chemistry...
It's just that matter may be in a very delicate state of equilibrium, barely standing on the edge of a cliff. If something, for some reason, knocks it down, it will be like Thanos snapping his fingers at the universe and EVERYTHING will start evaporating into energy (and turning into a more stable version of matter) at the speed of light.
However, because of the expansion of the universe, this may already be happening in multiple places in the universe, but it will just never reach us because light cannot travel faster than the universe is expanding at those places.
The universe may already be falling apart all around us and we don't even know. Worse: Earth could literally evaporate, at any time, faster than you can perceive, so you would just disappear without ever noticing... Bam! Instantly dead.
There's even more of an explanation to this as well, the whole reason we know that the universe is in a metastable condition right now is from the Higgs boson, if it's really heavy and large, it means thens are in oh shit mode, if it's really light, it's stable. Right now the weight of the Higgs boson is right in between those two thresholds so we call it metastable. We are at the center threshold of oh shit territory and we're fine territory. You are correct in this post.
Also it's not called a sphere of influence as the videos says, it's called false vacuum decay. The sphere of influence is attributed to gravity I should add.
@@InvalidUser18so, we are like a kind of Schrödinger’s cat? Maybe we’ve split timelines, and in one we’ve already experienced a virtual Thanos snap, and in another we are still metastable, or maybe even stable. And the universe can become unstable at any moment, so really that’s an infinite number of multiverses being added all the time.
I mean, if it's instant and im going to die anyway, what's the difference?
It’s worth stating that current research has us at around 50/50 odds of already being in the most stable state or the second most stable. There are also theories which predict that a new sphere of influence would immediately collapse into a point and cease to exist.
It would be really funny if black holes absorb false vacuum decay events and that they are the reason we still exist.
My Grandfather has stage 3 Alzheimer’s disease and to think that he had the disease when my mom (and my aunts) were young is mind-boggling. I know it’s a continuous disease but the fact that it starts that early in your life was so devastating yet so important, as someone as plans to become a neurologist.
Prion, as in one of the first facts that was mentioned - where once you have symptoms, you're too far gone - is pronounced as pree-on, for any one who wants to know.
No shot people always pronounce it pry-on
@@TheMisterDarknightIt's probably just a dialect thing.
Creutzfeldt-Jacob Disease is probably the most common form of prion disease caused from cannibalism, particularly from eating the brain of another human. The body will absorb the protien from the brain. However it won't be able to break down the protein of a similar genetic makeup. So it causes those protein to fold which cause the plaque buildup.
@@zitkanaduza.89 yeah, and I know on an island who sometimes ate dead members, a new prion disease developed called kuru.

If we ever attain fusion energy, we'd have a constant supply of it (being a byproduct of fusion, that have to be sequestered out of the reactor ) and s'why ppl don't care much about helium, since we're sure that fusion is possible.

My personal favorite fact of science that keeps me awake at night- insects do not need heads to “survive” the need to eat to sustain life, but function until they starve. There are moths born with no mouth that mate or starve if not both.
No advanced brain, no lymbic system. No suffering. Is why you can see wasps behead themselves, pick up their heads and fly away. So do bugs feel starving? Or just impulses to consume?
Which also means Spiders venom may be neurotoxic as well as a chemical to liquify victim’s insides, but it isn’t meant for insects… paralysis happens, but did the bug feel beforehand? 🧐
100% humidity is something you notice pretty easily as water around you will start to condense everywhere. Your own skin will be covered in sweat as it can't evaporate. What will save you at that time is access to fresh water. You'll need to drink extremely often because the water's temperature will be the only thing cooling you down. Also, you'll have to wipe out your sweat so your body can continue sweating warm water and allow the fresh water you've just drunk in your blood system.
We can't normally feel humidity, but once it starts to approach 100% you can definitely tell when you breathe it in.
The whole "sphere of influence" thing is largely speculation, we're not really sure what would happen or if it's even possible (we would all die once it reaches us though, that part's true).
The point of CPR isn't to resuscitate the person, but to keep oxygen moving around their body to increase the chance of survival once they are shocked with a defibrillator. In fact, if you find someone in need of CPR, you're alone, and there isn't a defib nearby, then the best course of action is actually to run and get the nearest defib before starting (or call for help but you get the point). If they're a child then you should do a couple of cycles of CPR first though.
Facts 19 and 22 are exactly the same fact.
The sphere of influrence is somethind to do with a boson enegy tunnelig into an area of different energy state and physics and rewiting the laws of the universe this way the universe could end i beleve, is called a false vacuum
You can also feel humidity when you live someplace that lacks humidity, only to move somewhere that’s very humid 👍
Getting a Defib will do nothing but talk to you unless the patient is in two specific rhythms V-Fib and V-Tach and it’s to stop the chaotic electrical activity in the the heart. The heart is still pumping, it’s just doing it too fast so it’s chambers cannot fill with blood. Shocking the heart kinda restarts it in a way. CPR can also reset the heart by trying to “kickstart it” similar to how rolling an old car down a hill can help the engine. If someone’s heart is actually flatlining with no beats at all they are probably not coming back. This is the case for most people.
CPR is still considered one of the best ways to get someone back. Once again, shocking with a defib is only applicable in two situations and you should focus on compressions, not getting a defib since it will probably not even detect a shockable rhythm.
@@Blacksheep-ik7gx I won't argue with your science bc I'm not a doctor, I just happen to be first aid trained. CPR on its own though isn't very effective. The stat we were taught was that CPR without a defib has about a 4% chance of resuscitating someone who has gone into cardiac arrest, but it goes up to about 70% once you have a defib (obviously this is time dependent).

A-bombs don't necessarily make the land unusable long-term, especially high-altitude detonations! Look at Hiroshima and Nagasaki nowadays.
6:17 On the other hand, this one is really fascinating. If this is actually reasonable evidence of very advanced life, that is really interesting.
Even more like a Star Trek plot than the last one.
no really evidence yet but definitely a possible explanation. The result would be that there are actually a bunch of stars on that zone but we can't see them because that civilization is harvesting all the light coming from them. If we see a close start starting to dim and then disappear then we might be able to conclude that that's what is happening after all
On a side note, this could also be caused by the fact that the universe is metastable.
If matter were to decay, it would do so in an almost perfectly spherical manner and, since the rate of expansion can be greater than the speed of light after some distance (and the decay would also spread close to the speed of light), it would become trapped and form a spherical shape of nothingness in the universe.
Of course, it is very unlikely, but those regions of space may already exist - aka: the universe is decaying around us and there's no way for us to know.
@@PotatoSofi This specific section of space couldn't be caused by that because there are still visible galaxies in it just very very few.
They did it in Star Trek Discovery 😂
I knew about this one but for another reason: It is speculated that this void could also be the result of a separate universe partially colliding with ours, which resulted in the absorbtion of that void's interestellar matter. Didn't know the theory about the alien civilization though.
I feel like another scary fact about cancer is some of types out there. A lot of cancers run in my family but I think the most unsettling one is this rare blood cancer that’s genetic. I can’t remember the specific name but I do know it takes a very long time to develop. My great aunt has it. She was diagnosed with it last year after she noticed an irritating rash that wouldn’t go away. Turns out she had this cancer for potentially a decade before. In her case her only treatment is an ointment to make the rash not painful or itchy because the doctors said she’ll be dead long before it becomes lethal. Not usually a thing you want to hear but she’s in her 80’s so she’s well aware of this fact. Though the idea that a cancer can just sit in your body unnoticed for that long and slowly deteriorate your health is scary to me. It’s like prions but in your bloodstream instead of your brain.
Fun fact some airplanes are actually Faraday boxes. Which makes them are resistant to EMP blast. We've made a lot of tech resistant to EMPs

bro, your pronunciations tho 😭❤️
My mom an er nurse always told me its better to break ribs their ribs then not do chest compressions properly. She also recently said its better to do the compressions than to worry about blowing in. We actually have a family friend who survived 18 mins of chest compressions. It was the boonies and stupid administrative shit that caused an ambulance not to be called in. Thankfully he was with another friend who was a former priaon guard and emt. He ended up needing to be put into hypothermic therapy and took months to recover from his stroke but hes 86 and doing great everything considered. He was EXTREMELY lucky as a 70 year old to survive
When it comes to the Boots Void & the idea that a hyper advanced cavillation is causing the diming of stars by creating Dyson Shells, I came to understand via an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation. A Dyson Shell AKA Dyson Sphere is an enormous sphere the distance of Earth's orbit away from the star effectively tuning the whole inside surface of the sphere into a habitable super habitat to be able to be a home to that much larger of a population than Earth, I'm sure you can imagine the sheer landmass inside such a structure. Now picture that for not just one star but a whole GALAXY'S worth of them. That's an enormous population capable of incredible feats of engineering, such a civilization would be so far advanced compared to us it would be like our civilization compared to amoeba, with a population like that of all of Asia compared to that of one building in the Vatican.
and they are lightyears further than we can see 😮
The question is. If they're building a sphere of any kind, we should be able to see it's surface in some point, yet we don't. And also, if they're so advanced, why would they be building a sphere at all. Why not just colonize every planets they can actually reach. If their population makes offsprings so frequently that they need all that space to live in, then they wouldn't have survived at all. The answer I'm hoping not to get is that they're not building something to keep everything out, but something to keep something _inside_
@@yasininn76 "if they're so advanced why build a sphere at all" this whole thing revolves around the idea that building a sphere is a much further advanced (definitely most efficient) way of harvesting energy than scattering out over various different bodies
@@colorbugoriginals4457 how is it better to build a gynormous sphere around an entire galaxy than to just spread around various planets and harvest energy from there. The amount of time and resources to build something like that, even it was just made of paper would be astronomically worse in terms of means to do anything. It's like replacing a floor instead of cleaning the water that you just spilled on it. Maybe it would be more efficient to have such a giant area to spread energy harvesters on, but to build such an area you would basically needs masses the size of planets themselves of various materials.
@@yasininn76 it's simple math, making use of all of the available energy of one massive body is much more efficient than traveling around and spreading out. if you mean just plain expansion, the next stage is to build these spheres around additional stars. make sense?
Fun fact about story 4: they’ve found an alternative! Bacteriophages, while can be adapted to, are a good counter to bacteria adapted to antibiotics.

I live in a tropical, coastal city, sometimes, when humidity is too high, you just don't get coolder when you sweat. It just stays on your body and doesn't evaporate at all. The scariest one ever for me was around 2 years ago where even the cold water from the shower wasn't enough to cool you off, it was a bit panicking
Someone made a car that ran on water, then oil and gas companies killed the innocent man with 0 consequences.
Where can I read about that?
the great attractor is such an eye roll for me. Its almost guaranteed to just be a point in space with nothing there, since its just the average point of all the matter in the general area. The idea that anything is there is purely science fiction in nature, unless there is a supersized black hole the size of galaxies(which we should be able to see because of the sheer size) then there isnt going to be anything there
Please don’t speak before you actually know what you’re talking about. The Great Attractor isn’t the important part. It’s just a possible explanation for an observed phenomenon. Which is the fact that many galaxies in a large region of space are moving towards something DESPITE the predicted movement that should be followed according to the expansion of the universe.
The Great Attractor may or may not exist but the fact remains that many structures are moving in a way that we do not understand because it is not happening consistently with everything else we’ve observed.
It doesn’t even need to be a single object like a galaxy sized black hole. Which in itself is a weird thing to say because the size of a galaxy is determined BY the size of the black hole. It can be multiple large galaxies influencing the gravity around them or even just a crazy gravitational mechanic that we haven’t experienced since you know, we still don’t know what or where gravity truly comes from.
Also, assuming a black hole is big enough ‘to be seen’ like you claim… I think you should think that through. It’s called a black hole for a reason. If a black hole is big enough to where it’s pulling multiple galaxies, then we most likely wouldn’t see it. The mechanics behind that are exactly the same as a galaxy. Except in this case it’s essentially a galaxy made of galaxies. Which is different than the galaxy superclusters we know today. Those don’t orbit around a single black hole like I’m suggesting. It would be hard to see a black hole this size since we can’t even visually see the black hole in our OWN galaxy.
Either way, it’s less about the THING and more about why the fuck nature is not behaving like science predicts.
1:59 isn’t this like basic high school biology 💀 the public would know this if people actually listened in school
Space shit is always scary but the fact that we have no way to see most of space as what it looks like currently makes it like a million times scarier.
Re: wet-bulb events, I'm sorry, but it's actually worse than that. Current research points to a wet-bulb temperature of 87 F/31 C when the relative humidity is over 50%.

Bacteriophages are currently being used and tested on to treat diseases, and there are several cases of people having their diseases and conditions cured by bacteriophages.

SO, if any one of you feels an existential dread from any of the facts you've heard here (other than ones we could feasibly stop were everyone conscious of it and willing to work together) let me provide some insight that will likely cease your anxiety. I once had an existential crisis so bad that it bordered on a panic attack. It was about my own fear of ceasing to exist when I die. Mundane, I know. I eventually went to my father about this crushing dread, and he said ONE SENTENCE that eased the fear to basically nothing. "What good would worrying about it do?". It isn't something you can control. YOU are causing YOUR OWN anxiety and fear. Stop worrying about it. If it happens, it happens. It is what it is.
I’m sorry but the story about antibiotics and bacteria being able to become resistant to them is fairly well known right?
Not really? I mean to some extent, but most people don’t know how bacteria has become so much more resistant to it or the consequences this might have in a few decades.

We are NOT running out of helium. There were talks about it, yes, but that is the effect of a weird policy. We get our helium from the byproduct of extracting natural gases. We want to stop doing that eventually, but then we won't get our helium anymore. Turns out, we already know how to get helium without the natural gases thingy. We just never needed to do that. To oversimplify it, we only need to look for places where helium bubbled up and get trapped.

@@michaeledmunds7056 yeah. It'll happen, because the other choice is overall destruction and destabalization, but either way it would probably be one of the most deadly and tragic events in history.

It would fry circuits and damage infrastructure, so even if things were turned off, they'd probably still be damaged.
15:00 Astrophysics student here, there is already a curtain. Because light that leaves a surface carries with it information about the surface when it left, then takes a very long time to reach us, when we see light coming from the stars it's thousands/millions/billions of years old. With our best telescopes, as we look as far as we can see, we are hit with a wall of radiation noise. This is coming from the very early universe, before stars, where the universe was just a hot soup of particles. As time progresses, light has had more time to reach us, so the wall expands a little, but as we accelerate due to the expansion of the universe the wall shrinks a little. My understanding of this is a little nebulous. But eventually, in billions maybe trillions of years time, a civilisation in the milky way would look out into the sky and see only our local stars and our few most local galaxies (which may have merged with the milky way by this point), and assume that this is all there ever was
As for the last story, it's true, but there would also be thousands of other galaxies between your two destinations (currently) that you could change course to visit instead, so it's not all bad
Ask your professors to fast-forward to the heat death of the Universe and past it, to the point where the observable Universe is about 37 gigalights and it acts like an inverted black hole. That's when crap really gets interesting, for "Poincare Conjecture" definitions of interesting. It's almost more philosophy than math.
Assuming we're right about the far future, anyway.
@@BronzeDragon133 so I heard, but you must remember we aren't even right about the present yet. These things are fun to think about, but there's no use assuming they're fact just yet, theres still too much we dont know
I thought I was going to learn something new. Instead, these are things I already knew and was hoping had already become common knowledge. I don't think my heart can sink lower...
Please, all the things in this video that are important for people to know, talk about it! Keep talking about it until it's impossible to ignore. Don't buy helium, don't expose your dog to wildlife and bodies of water after flea treatment, find out any way you can be part of the solution for the world around you, not the problem. Please keep trying. Just because you don't have the power to change everything doesn't mean you have nothing. Too many people give up because all they can see is macro. Change starts with the micro.
If it helps, I'm disabled, poor, and chronically homeless. I still find ways to make a difference, it's just harder. But it's not impossible.
And kill your lawn, also.
The thing about our topsoil and Aquifer water problems is that both are completely solvable. Instead of having flat compacted land where nothing lives, try adding catchments (basically trenches and hills) that slow water down so it can absorb into the ground. Topsoil can be fixed by literally farming better. Instead of all one crop and using tons of pesticides, we should be plating multiple crops together and using way less pesticides. Fun fact pesticides make plants weaker not stronger as it kills all the symbiotic life in the soil and inside the plant that promote its health and ability to handle stress. So by overusing pesticides we are essentially making plants weak enough that bugs want to eat them further increasing the need for pesticides. This is how big agribusinesses create a virtuous cycle that forces farmers to buy their BS. With modern technology and regenerative agriculture/ permaculture we can literally fight climate change, helping the local environment, have healthier better tasting food from healthier plants, not need to use topsoil from elsewhere, and do so with less water as beneficial soil fungus and microbes will help the plants moisture and nutrient absortion. It is also cheaper for a farmer to not have to buy nearly as many inputs just to grow plants.
yeah i've heared of prions.
they scare me.
though i'm on and off occasionally unalive-al enough to where:
"sir you have a prion and thus at max 2 years to live."
"Whelp... [Edit] Saves me from {insert heatdeath of the universe esc. scenario} and] guess its time for me to meet whatever god exists and kick his ass".
13:05 I live in Eastern Europe and once travelled to Kuala Lumpur. I was used to heat, but the humidity on top of it was really challenging to tolerate. The locals were used to it and it's a matter of time for others too, but you can definitely feel the humidity. It's like being in a steamy sauna. You will feel it, because your body hates it. If you cool off it's not dangerous, maybe only for the elderly. I'm glad there was an air conditioned mall on every corner. The wind also helps a lot
Extra fun fact about story 20 this is called vacuum decay and it happens when if the rules of physics change it cascades and spreads at the speed of light
Even worse, it's posited to have already occurred. Fortunately, it's most likely in high-energy and wildly tortured spaces, like black holes or very near them, and propagation out of a black hole is not possible. The time slowdown very close to the event horizon of the black hole means that speed-of-light propagation away from the black hole would also take a very, very long time to begin with.
And, of course, space itself is expanding. If said black hole falls over our Universal horizon before the decay horizon passes into our visible Universe, it will never reach us.
@@BronzeDragon133 Or thar we're INSIDE of such 'bubble' of vacuum decay, eating a higher energy universe, if so, the 'universal horizon' may not exist since there is no 'universe' beyont the bubble barrier for us (as the bubble is eating or have already eaten the previous universe )
@@KlavierMenn We already know this to be true. Our Universe is the collapse of the Inflationary Field, which is of fantastically high energy. Given its characteristics, it does still exist out there, constantly inflating and collapsing, eternally, creating new Universes in ever-uncountably-greater numbers. Forever.
You can't access it as it expands at far faster than the speed of light and our space-time doesn't exist within the field itself.
And that's the simplest version of the theory that must be true...
If i remember correctly a study i saw a while back they stated that we have degraded 2 or 3 nutrients in our crops due to modern farming practices to the point that they are not enough of that nutrient anymore.
Fusion reactors which can produce helium: Am I a joke to you?
It just might be easier to just not spend it so carelessly instead of briefly harnessing the power of the sun itself to produce it
Helium 3 baby
Not a scientist. A lot of people think that the next big destruction-event will be caused by something like an asteroid or the sun exploding or something, but the truth is that it might be bubbling beneath the Earth's surface. Right now, there is a supervolcano under Yellowstone Park that, if it explodes, could coat a huge chunk of the United States of America in burning ash. The Yellowstone National Park would be erased from the face of the Earth, with molten ash blanketing much of the country.
The weight of the ash would potentially collapse roofs, down power lines, pollute water supplies, ground flights, and basically throw the entire grid of the US into disarray. Hospitals would be full of people coughing up blood from the silicates in their lungs. If it happened during the grow season, ash would likely wipe out much of the US' corn and soy supply, with much of the US' farmland likely being poisoned for a generation. This would likely also cause a worldwide volcanic winter, which could cause the global temperature to plunge 18 degrees Fahrenheit for an entire decade, which could cause a worldwide starvation event.
There would be no part of the world that would be unaffected by this, much less the Continental US.
Thankfully, it's estimated that the odds of this happening anytime soon are extremely low.
you make a good video especially your explanation. please use different background coz my brain cant focus on your voice. i keep getting distract with the moving Minecraft's? anyway good job dude.
A nice and fun video to watch at 3am while trying to get some sleep :D
Hey can you shift the final video card to the side? It is not possible to read what's on the screen after it has come. You could add more video cards if you wanted to, if it feels unsymmetrical.
i live in an area with really high humidity. half the summer it’s 80% and i can’t go outside. i call it “air soup.” it never used to be this hot and humid when i was a kid.
6:33 A Dyson sphere basically means they're surrounding the star of or in a galaxy with large circle of solid panels. (Sorry for bad grammar, my keyboard is broken on the backspace key)
9:12 the point behind making nukes so powerful and having so many of them is to make sure that if your country gets nuked, whoever nuked you also gets nuked.
It's called mutually assured destruction and while it has avoided the nuclear nations of using nukes in war, it has also almost brought us to nuclear war by accident many times from the 50s to the 90s.
The closest accident has ever brought us to nuclear war was in 1995, when a norwegian research rocket was misidentified as a ICBM by russian early warning systems, that caused the country to prepare it's entire nuclear arsenal against NATO and the only thing that avoided that was that Boris Yeltsin (russian president at the time) decided to wait a bit before pressing the button in his nuclear briefcase, in that time they realised that the rocket's trajecture wasn't going to make it crash into russia but instead go into space.
The channel Paper Skies made a really good video about that accident.
6:34 Actually the reason why is not that scary, one of the parameters to measure the intelligence of a civilization is how much energy they use and were it comes from, maybe that civilization just adapted to use the energy from multiple stars and galaxies, making it invisible because they use all the light. Yes, it is still scary that they have colonized that many galaxies so there is two alternatives: this form of live is super diplomatic or is a dictatorship… I hope is the first one.
Also, as the dyson Sphere would likely be bigger than the earths orbit, IE we'd be on the inside of the sphere, we could actually continue to live our lives more or less unaffected while they built the sphere around our sun. All that would happen would be that the night-time sky would look very different and astronomers would have something very different to study.
If the aliens are something like us, with our morals too, I feel like dictatorship would not work at a grand scale, what are they gonna do, destroy 500,000 planets with all their population being rebels?
If they’re harvesting all the stars to the point of the stars disappearing, then I’m sorry, that’s a dictatorship. A diplomatic civilization would respect the stars, not destroy them.
My mom is a former nurse and what is being said about CPR is true she told me that the only way to know you doing right is if you the persons ribs cracking is gonna cause internal damage but it might save the person's life.
2:49 like, from my lifetime? or just the deeper ones that are still scarred over like when a storm door hit the back of my ankle and it wouldn’t stop bleeding for a good 5 minutes?
edit: i need more info on the last story
“Humans don’t have humidity detectors”
Bro, I need to tell you something.
Oh he doesn’t sound too far away from his boys dropping and finding out. Might be best to let him learn on his own.
Rabies and Alzheimer's are in fact both prion diseases, so yes, "like rabies" is a good way to describe prion diseases. Mad cow disease is another well known prion disease.
Also, another scary fact is that several decades of Alzheimer's research was based on a lie that was covered up and only recently did researchers realize this and focus on different research leads
Rabies is a virus, not a prion
This is false. Rabies is caused by lyssavirus. Alzheimer’s is a plaque build up on nerve axions which seems to be associated with a dopamine decrease. Prion disease does cause mad cow disease it is a misfolding protein. Most often in humans the cause seems to stem from eating infected brain matter.
That last part is the scary part. How much of our knowledge is based on blatant lies?
@@troybaxter one of the big parts of scientific methodologies is the idea of repeatable results. Scientific breakthroughs and papers are usually thoroughly tested and scrutinized, but problems arise when this process isn't completed. The Alzheimer's research issue is a case of possibly manipulated test results, which basically means that scientists were barking up the wrong tree as a result. It's like if a witness gives false information to a detective. That being said, most research is traceable and cross referenced, so this happens rarely.
@@MF99K based on recent reports from academia I have seen, I am beginning to wonder how much of what is published is true. It's surprisingly more than you and I care to believe.
Ooohhhh, that huge void in space is really interesting. Even more reason for us advancing as fast as possible
Story 19. There will come a time when Universal Expansion will make it to where we cannot see any other galaxies besides those near us right now. And eventually all those galaxies will merge into one Super Galaxy. This Horizon though is different though. Say the Speed of Light was 100 miles per hour. You have two vehicles that start in the same spot on a long stretch of road. They start moving away from each other at a steady rate of acceleration, say 5 mph per hour per hour (starting at 5 mph the first hour, then adding 5 more mph every hour to that). So first hour they are moving apart at 10 mph (their combined speeds of seperation). Next hour they are moving apart at 20 mph, third at 30 mph, and so on. By the tenth hour they are now moving apart at 100 mph, our Speed of Light. So any light they give off will now be moving exactly as fast as the two vehicles are seperating. So that light will no longer be able to be seen by the other vehicle, which won't know that until several more hours pass as the light already given off at lower speeds can still catch up some, taking longer and longer to do so; until finally no more gets to us.
Now no object can move faster than Light. So the galaxies cannot move even close to light speed. But we do know many are moving away from us at incredible speeds and getting faster. This is not due to them speeding up or us slowing down though. This is due to Hubble Expansion, which is literally New Space popping into existence between everything in the Universe. And the further away something is, the more New Space comes into existence and pushes them further apart. It is possibly how the Universe started all those Billions of years ago and the process is still going on.
So in that case if we are moving faster and faster until we are moving apart as fast as the speed of light, would we speed up even faster than the speed of light? If so that means that we would see the galaxy we are moving away from in reverse where the galaxy is getting younger until eventually we see it form in reverse until it’s nothing.
@@vayr880 As I said it is not actual speed, but Hubble Expansion that is causing this simulated speed.
Think of it this way. You get in a car and start driving at 30 miles per hour from an observer. After every 3 miles you drive, another mile appears between you and the observer. The observer did not move. And you did not increase speed. But after 1 hour instead of 30 miles being between you and the observer, 40 miles are between you and the observer. After 10 hours of this 100 extra miles would be appearing between you and the observer. And as we set the speed of light at 100 mph, past this point the distance appearing between you and the observer is now more distance than light can cross in the time that new space appears. Thus no more light can get to the observer from your car. And vise versa.
With Hubble expansion we are really close to pure magic here. Distance is increasing, but no new speed is being added.
