The best thing social media has done, or the internet in general, is giving people the opportunity to ask silly yet important questions - a feature that wasn't offered in school.
I loved asking dumb questions, especially after being told "there is no such thing as a dumb question". Some schools are certainly too crowded to allow such foolishness though.
Ever wonder why? You should look into why if you’re traveling at 0.5c and you turn a flashlight on, the flashlight beam still travels at c. That’ll do more than bend your mind.
@mrsamot4677 it's because light travels at speed c, not the other way around. i prefer to think of the c standing for causality instead of constant, because it comes closer to explaining what that constant is. it's the maximum speed at which reality propagates, which is why gravity also "moves" at speed c. light is only able to move at that speed because it has no intrinsic mass, and mass is what distorts spacetime as per general relativity. so it always moves at speed c, regardless of reference frame
@@leemitlessX Same answer really - it depends entirely on your definition of up and down, which is arbitrary by necessity, so... Now, the question if the observable universe HAS a preferred direction of motion is valid, it's just deciding what that direction is will always be arbitrary.
He has so carefully crafted those answers, I loved them. They are concise enough to be a twitter reply, whole encompassing and he stop at the right amount of information so whoever is interested in the topic, gets hooked up and goes to search for more about it.
He's the kind of guy who if he was a teacher, you'd never skip class but would instantly fail you if your essay had the Sun spelled with a lowercase letter.
Enthusiasm is great, but you also have to be able to distill an entire textbook worth of material to a ten second answer to really be able to explain advanced concepts quickly Could you pay attention the whole time as this guy explained one answer for two and a half hours straight?

"Since when science has made any sense". Loving so much. But I just love that there are things out there that we still don't understand and we probably never will. It just make everything more fascinating ang magical, in a way.
People might think he's trolling with the "Yes." response to the clockwise or counter clockwise, but he's dead serious. It just depends what side of the galaxy you consider to be the top lol. In space, this is not a question with one answer.
Not really; what he meant was the question was asking if galaxies MAY spin counter or normal clockwise. As if to say “and.” So he answered with yes, confirming the statement that they can go both ways.
@@Bossman50. the point of view is what determines the direction a galaxy rotates. So the original comments explanation makes way more sense. Yours is kinda how a non-astrophysicist would think
I think what he did was interpret the question as "Do galaxies spin either clockwise or anti clockwise?" to which the answer will be yes because if a galaxy is spinning then it has to be spinning either clockwise or anticlockwise.

@@dr.mikelitoris Thanks for replying to my reply, but neither was it necessary to thank a random person for commenting on a video you had nothing to do with either, Dr. Mike
Depending on exactly how it "ends" it could take a mind boggling amount of time, maybe as long as 10^10000 years. That's a googol times a googol of years. A googol (10^100) is such an absurdly large number that I never thought I'd see it used non-sarcastically. It's about one hundred billion billion times the number of atoms in the universe. So IF you can imagine a one followed by a hundred zeroes, that's a googol. If you can imagine a googol of googols, that's how many years it might take for the universe to end. I know that I explained the same thing about three times, I'm being bit dramatic because 10^10000 years is a freaking long time. It's maybe possible that the universe will "end" or "die" or collapse in upon itself in as "little" as 10^120 years, maybe less. We can't reliably predict, at least not yet, what will be the ultimate fate of the universe and each possibility has it's own timescale.
I love that he's so chill about movies. It's nice to see after Hadfield got all high and mighty about movies not making sense. No hate but come on, they're movies. Documentaries exist for a reason.
Astronomers are one of the happiest careers in the United States. As it turns out, astronomers rate their career happiness 4.0 out of 5 stars which puts them in the top 11% of careers.🥰🥰🥰
11:40 for anyone who wants an explanation for this, here it is: As our velocity increases, our clocks tick slower (moving through time slower) than an observer that is in another frame of reference, not just that, but another phenomenon occurs called length contraction, it’s when our physical length contracts or in other words, we become shorter / flattened more in the way we travel. This means light will essentially have more time and less distance to travel to, it’s called Special Relativity and he has also mentioned it in this video. To conclude, as we approach the speed of light, our time ticks slower and slower, and our bodies and everything else moving at our speed, becomes shorter to the way it’s traveling, giving light more time and less distance.
For the "nothing can travel faster than the speed of light" stuff, can you confirm that this is not entirely true since light slows down in a medium. Also, woukd there really be the same amount of matter right now as the start of the universe since antimatter exists and there was more of it at the start?
@@mathieurenaud2254 There are 2 ways to explain the light slowing down in a medium. 1. It does 2. Photons take longer routes Not entirely sure which one is THE correct one but sure, you're correct in a way. By matter, I meant energy, E = mc^2, sorry for the confusion.
@@mathieurenaud2254 when we say ‘nothing can travel faster than the speed of light’, we mean the absolute speed of light (ie. speed of light in a vacuum)
@@HarpSeal only the perceived speed is lower. The photons keep getting absorbed and remitted but that process takes a little time which will make it look like the photon traveled faster while it actually never slowed down
7:28 People usually only think of the speed of light as the speed at which light travels, but it's also related to what holds the atoms together. If the speed of light wasn't an absolute constant, subatomic particles would behave very differently.
Its easier to think of the speed of light as the constant limit of speed in the universe for anything. Photons travel at that speed (along with radio waves, UV rays, Gamma rays, Infrared light etc) because they have no mass, but they are unable to go faster than that, as is its the limit of universal speed, for the reasons that Paul has explained.
Mr. Sutter has a great combination of passion and knowledge when he speaks about this topic, which allows us to better understand and appreciate the information. Thank you
i saw another video of yours of a brain surgeon and i was like "omg i would love if they had an astro physicist on one of these" and ITS PAUL SUTTERRRT I LOVE HIM!! how the universe works is like my fav show ever
This is the hill I'll die on apparently. The universe is "expanding" but then there's no edge and nothing it expands to. WHAT. Really makes me feel the limits of my brain.
Think of the universe's expansion like it's an expanding balloon. If you mark the balloon with two dots some distance then blow some air into the balloon those dots grow further apart. The surface of the balloon got bigger but if you lived in the surface there is no edge. Does that make sense?
This is the most engaging 'Wired' I've seen. And I've seen more than one. He needs a raise. I'm scared to look through the comments because there will be at least one person who says, "he should be protected at all costs," and I dont have the mental capacity to endure that sentence again.
Current physics master's student here. 99% of the time that I was listening to the astro-pal I was having fun, enjoying how a far better teacher than me explains concepts I already know. But then the binary systems stuff hit me. Thinking that Jupiter was close to be a star. Like very close. And we treated him like a fluffy-oversized version of a planet for 4000 years. If only he was 20 times bigger... We would not be here! 20 jupiter masses, compeared to the sun, is like a glass of water compeared to a swimming pool!! A very insignificant mass dislocation, for a borning star. I won't sleep this night, thinking about this.
Something to help you sleep better: I doubt there's enough matter in the solar system for Jupiter to get that big. And its probably why it never made it to star status
Yeah the sun has 1000 Jupiter masses so the solar system has enough matter to have have created several low mass stars during it's development but for some reason the sun got the lion's share. I'm studying physics so I haven't taken any astrophysics courses but I wonder how close we were to having a second sun. Or maybe we did but it was ejected.
@@Cepheid_ Random chance I guess. You could run that same scenario hundreds of times and end up with different systems. I do wonder what things would be like here, and whether we would be here at all, if Jupiter was replaced by a low-mass brown dwarf.
this is gonna be such a random crapshoot, BUT PLEAE PLAY OUTER WILDS (Not outer worlds). It's a game that i reccomend anyone with even a mild interest in space to play. It genuinely is the best celebration of humans and space that i know o. I know i am bein gvague af but this game is not like anything you have played. At least play it for 22 minutes only ;)
I find astrophysics so freaking fascinating but I'm dumb as a rock and would never make it in the field. So I love watching these kinds of videos to fulfil my excitement about space!
I'm a layman, but I think the theory of warp drive is that you can't move through space faster than the speed of light, but you can move space around you at FTL speeds. Kind of like how swimming along with the current of a river will get you somewhere faster than you can swim in a pool.
@@kaushikiyer4881 Hypothetically you could have apparent faster than light travel by contracting space in front of a ship and expanding it behind it. It would arrive faster than light without breaking physical laws.
@@infinitemonkey917 Yes, I believe that's how the warp drive in Star Trek operates. It is warping actual space around the ship so the ship achieves FTL travel without breaking physical laws. I read about this long ago in a book called The Physics of Star Trek. Good stuff!
Something someone told me, our universe is like the surface of a balloon that keeps getting bigger, it has no center, has no edge, but the space between everything just keeps increasing.
The problem with astrophysics is it always brings up more questions. Thus is my sole reason to study it. I was fortunate enough to be able to answer every question pretty well asked in this video. It's a wonderful subject.
This was hella interesting and I actually learned something aswell. You could really tell, that he is passionate about Astrophysics and he was able to explain complicated stuff in a way that we normies were able to understand it
9:00 What about wormholes, if they exist? Would it be possible to somehow open one and instantaneously go through it to your desired location? The calculations for the exact positions would definitely be something only done in the far future, but theoretically, would this somehow be possible?
I love that he chooses to read their twitter handles, which often contain a ton of numbers and symbols and thus are more difficult for him to read, rather than their names lol
Didn’t understand a thing he said but thoroughly enjoyed listening to him speak and didn’t want it to end! He has so much enthusiasm, charisma, and love for what he does! It was very cool to see…I want more!!!
I don’t care who you are out what you’re talking about, but if you’re excited about it as much as this guy is with astrophysics then I’m going to sit down and listen to you talk about it! I might not even understand half of what you’re saying but it’ll enjoy listen to you!
0:27 even though he explains it as “invisible”, that invisibility has nothing to do with the human eye. It just means light itself will not interact with dark matter, aka it won’t bounce off or be absorbed by it and that’s why we can’t “see” it. The math says it should still be there, and that’s how we know. The matter is “dark” to this universe of light. Dark matter is still the most appropriate term.
"that invisibility has nothing to do with the human eye" no one said that? also, when people think of dark, they think of black fx, so invisible is in layman's terms.
6:08 He forgets to mention that for Jupiter to be 20x bigger, it would have to be at least 80x more massive than it currently is... and there isn't enough stuff in the solar system to make that happen (excluding the sun ofc).

Mr. Sutter, Agent to the Stars and educating us with the Complete Knowledge of Time and Space. My favorite Astrophysicist.
I love his enthusiasm and his energy.
pls bring this guy multiple times, loved the guy and the video
"You cant travel faster than the speed of light."
Aliens: "Hold my beer."
Black hole: Hold my gravity.
I find astrophysics so freaking fascinating but I'm dumb as a rock and would never make it in the field. So I love watching these kinds of videos to fulfil my excitement about space!
Saving this for my 12 yr old. Can’t wait to watch this with him! Ty!
"You can take the craziest scifi author with the craziest idea and it still comes up short"
Liu Cixin: Hold my beer
I'm a layman, but I think the theory of warp drive is that you can't move through space faster than the speed of light, but you can move space around you at FTL speeds. Kind of like how swimming along with the current of a river will get you somewhere faster than you can swim in a pool.
Alcubierre drive
Unfortunately the speed of light is constant in all frames of reference. It doesn't change. It's an absolute number
@@kaushikiyer4881 Hypothetically you could have apparent faster than light travel by contracting space in front of a ship and expanding it behind it. It would arrive faster than light without breaking physical laws.
@@infinitemonkey917 Yes, I believe that's how the warp drive in Star Trek operates. It is warping actual space around the ship so the ship achieves FTL travel without breaking physical laws. I read about this long ago in a book called The Physics of Star Trek. Good stuff!
@@Obsidianone831 Ah, now I see why they called it "warp" drive
i love this guy, he inserts jokes in serious answers
Thanks for the best short astrophysics course ever
You're welcome!
I fell in love the moment he said "I'll be your astro-pal"
scientists embracing silliness is my new drug
The more you know the mysterious it can be. Love the show.
I don't understand everything he's saying but I'm here for it. More please.
This guy reminded me of someone. Then I realized he’s the Coyote Peterson of astrophysics.
Something someone told me, our universe is like the surface of a balloon that keeps getting bigger, it has no center, has no edge, but the space between everything just keeps increasing.
correct
6:41 "COLD EMPTY VOID"........moving on LOL
We just skimming over North Korean Bussy at 2:29 lmfao
Not me having an existential crisis because the universe has no center or edge.
Welcome to my world...
This guy is way too good looking to be explaining something so complicated 😍
"When will the universe end?"
"Not soon enough"
😂😂😂
The problem with astrophysics is it always brings up more questions. Thus is my sole reason to study it. I was fortunate enough to be able to answer every question pretty well asked in this video. It's a wonderful subject.
“What happens when you travel at the speed of light?”
“YOU CAN’T. YOU CAN’T”
Year 2155: watch me
🤣😂😂🙈
Let's get jet packs and actual flying cars first.
One of my favorite astrophysicists and educators. He somehow is no-nonsense and has a fun sense of humor at the same time. And he loves cheese.
Nice topic thanks a lot I was waiting for this one so badly
Yes! 01:45 what kind of Answer is this !
This was hella interesting and I actually learned something aswell.
You could really tell, that he is passionate about Astrophysics and he was able to explain complicated stuff in a way that we normies were able to understand it
9:00
What about wormholes, if they exist? Would it be possible to somehow open one and instantaneously go through it to your desired location? The calculations for the exact positions would definitely be something only done in the far future, but theoretically, would this somehow be possible?
Can we get more of this guy? I genuinely am looking forward to watch more of this man!!
I love this guy's enthusiasm
I love that he chooses to read their twitter handles, which often contain a ton of numbers and symbols and thus are more difficult for him to read, rather than their names lol
Didn’t understand a thing he said but thoroughly enjoyed listening to him speak and didn’t want it to end! He has so much enthusiasm, charisma, and love for what he does! It was very cool to see…I want more!!!
He sounds like an astrophysicist.
Water is wet
You should check out his channel.
i love how passionate and fun he is, makes it fun to learn
Dude is charismatic.
I want to have a beer with him and ask him all my dumb questions.
I don’t care who you are out what you’re talking about, but if you’re excited about it as much as this guy is with astrophysics then I’m going to sit down and listen to you talk about it! I might not even understand half of what you’re saying but it’ll enjoy listen to you!
0:27 even though he explains it as “invisible”, that invisibility has nothing to do with the human eye. It just means light itself will not interact with dark matter, aka it won’t bounce off or be absorbed by it and that’s why we can’t “see” it. The math says it should still be there, and that’s how we know. The matter is “dark” to this universe of light. Dark matter is still the most appropriate term.
"that invisibility has nothing to do with the human eye" no one said that? also, when people think of dark, they think of black fx, so invisible is in layman's terms.
The fact that i said "yes" out loud at the galaxy rotation question, and then he said the same thing made me ball out laughing.
I love how unopinionated this guy is. This was the right guy for this.
6:08 He forgets to mention that for Jupiter to be 20x bigger, it would have to be at least 80x more massive than it currently is... and there isn't enough stuff in the solar system to make that happen (excluding the sun ofc).
