I love Millie but she lost me for a second when she was talking about Mars. Yes Mars is round like the Earth. You won't fall off of it. She is the best ❤❤❤
I think she meant like if you were on the bottom of mars, if it had less gravity wouldn’t you just keep going if you jumped and you would fall away from mars, it doesn’t really make sense bc there is no up or down in space but I don’t think she was saying mars was flat or anything
You only have half the equation there. Say you roll 12 dice. Odds are high that at least one will come up as 6, right? Well you don't know how many sides the dice have. Could be 100 sided dice for all you know. Are the odds still good? We don't know how likely life is to form.

“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I think the terrifying thing about space and time is, that there might be places we can see now, and never be able to reach. And also, the opposite applies.
The crazy thing about being on a planet with different gravity is that it’s not like you just lost weight and are lighter. You still have the same mass and so have the same inertial momentum when you are moving. So it’s still takes just as much force to get your body moving, there’s just not as much force pulling you down, so it can actually be difficult to walk as you have less frictional grip on the ground, but still need just as much force to move you forward.
You won't fall off the edge of Mars. But if an object is small enough, you could escape it's gravity and fall off. Well, technically, you can't fall off anything in space. There's no up or down. You'd just float away into the vacuum of space 😳
It’s not about how small the object is. It’s about how fast it’s traveling. For a planet or moon with less gravity you don’t have to go as fast to reach “escape velocity” which is the speed and therefore momentum necessary that you won’t eventually get dragged back in by the gravity of the planet.
when they think they can see the size of the universe at 13-14 billion years away. it just means that it took 13- 14 billion years for the light to reach us. but with the great expansion those galaxies are probably now like 30 to 45 billion light years away. and speaking of expansion, its not that the universe is spreading out. its spreading out in between everything. hope i said that right.
"The Expanse" is a tv science fiction series in which some aspects of space travel and life in space are treated realistically, in particular gravity, and the time it takes for radio signals to travel across the gravity. It's a great story too.

In a nutshell, we can do all the mathematical calculations, run all the computer simulations, use countless illustrations of various types, but the human mind still cannot truly appreciate, fathom nor comprehend the astounding distances, sizes and masses (of objects) that make up the universe. Everything we know, after thousands of years, was learned from observations right here on Earth or from the most infinitesimal distances (comparatively speaking) away from Earth. Even a size comparative illustration of the Earth next to the Sun does little to convey the true enormity of the Sun or its mass, and then consider that the Sun is a "Dwarf Star" that is equally as small as the Earth when compared to many other stars. Take for example, the north star "Polaris". Comparing the size of our sun (Sol) next to "Polaris-A" would be similar to placing a marble (or possibly a golf ball) next to a basketball. Then consider that Polaris is approximately 323 light years away. That means when we see the north star in the sky at night, we're seeing what it looked like on this day 323 years ago! In essence, we're looking back in time! Also, imagine if we could travel at the speed of light (roughly 186,282 miles per second - an impossibility according to physics); it would take us 323 years to reach Polaris! Even if we could travel 10x that fast (Warp factor 10), it would still take over 32 years to reach it! The distances and sizes in "Space" are just incomprehensible! Amazing stuff, no?! 😮 And just for good measure I'll toss this in. Everything in our universe is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up predominantly of empty space. Therefore everything we see and touch is made up mostly of empty space. Because protons, electrons and neutrons revolve infinitely fast around the nuclei of atoms, they merely give us the illusion of mass (or solid objects e.g., a floor, a vase, a mountain, etc.). Let that sink in a while! 😂Peace.

I was 11 when we landed on the Moon in 1969. It's really hard to believe that the computers on the command and lunar only held aprox 25 mgb of memory. They had to load each stage of the mission. The blast off, the trip towards the moon, landing and returning. It boggles the mind how non advanced we were and we thought it was state of the art back then.
I heard smartphones alone have more computing power than the power it took for the module to land humans on the Moon. So every teen in Highschool has more computing power than the moon landing. Imagine that...

I think the last words in this video are the most important "discover TOGETHER". Imagine what humanity would achieve if we all finally learned to work together and not against each other.
Watching now but so reminds me of when I was about 16 I looked at my dad and went "Dad, how can the universe be infinite but if it's not then what so basically it still goes on forever but hows that possible" His answer as usual spot on " forget you ever thought about that if you ever want to sleep again at night" He was right, the ridiculous amount of times I sit up at night just going " wait...."
The scale of the universe is absolutely incomprehensible to the human mind. We just didn't evolve in an environment that gives us any perspective on such huge distances. For as long as humans have existed people were asking themselves "Where did we come from", "How was this world created", "What is in the heavens?" And we live in the first few generations in history that can factually answer that we now know at least some of the true answers to those questions.
Like the person above said. Our minds literally aernt capable of comprehending the scale of the universe. Like the video said. It is gonna take 30,000 years just for our probe to get out of our own solar system.
Love this video! Thanks for reacting to it! A sad bit of trivia: The first radio signal with the strength to actually broadcast beyond Earth was unfortunately made by Adolf Hitler. Which means it’s possible that the first message aliens would get from-about earth & earthlings was potentially from a total dick.
Communications in space will be just like letters from hundreds of years ago…You would write a letter asking how things are and give your side of the story and send, then maybe in a few weeks or months you would get a letter back. Rinse and repeat. We’ve been communicating like that for several thousand years, it’s only in the last 80 or so years that we’ve gotten used to instant communication.
Yeah when I see this sort of thing I think that it is almost a certainty that there are aliens out there but given how far away everything is, it's likely that we'll never meet them - we'd have to invent some sort of warp drive like in star trek to even have a chance
I have a degree in astrophysics, so I think about this sort of thing a lot. Even so, thinking about the enormity of the universe always boggles my mind!
I don't have a degree in astrophysics, but it's one of my most beloved subjects and it sure doesn't help with existential anxiety (or whatever you call it). Imagining I'll stop existing one day is terrifying enough, but the fact that the universe will cease to exist at one point is beyond terrifying.
Ngl this was A LOT to take in!! Like low key scary in a way. It’s crazy bc like I knew in the back of my mind that the Universe is HUGE but when it’s put into a visual it made me feel microscopic sized.
The space between the earth and the moon is big enough that you can fit every planet in our solar system, in that space and still have some room left over.
Mars rovers have internal navigational systems so they don't fall off the edge of cliffs, which we might not have time to see and correct for given the delay if we were driving them completely manually. They made a huge deal about it at the time and is probably what you're confusing with falling of the edge of the planet
I always loved that video--completely mind blown. Saturn is definitely my favorite. If we pronounced Uranus the right way (oor-ah-noos) it wouldn't be so funny. Great job in the driver's chair, Millie!
When space travel first started, they kept the astronauts in quarantine for 7 days to see if they had any affects from the travel. Perhaps that's what you were thinking of. This is a good example of our perceptions and how they color our ideas of life. The entire Universe is 10 Billion times larger than our largest idea of what it could be... not what we THINK it is.
7:50 To better understand "orbiting" around a planet vs gravity and sticking to it....Imagine if you were on a cliff and jumped. You'll eventually hit the ground due to gravity. Now imagine you make a taller cliff and could jump really far off of it. You almost hit the ground but because you were so high up and jumped off really far ---> this way direction that as you approach the ground you're missing it because the world in a sphere. What you're doing is essentially falling forever. Going around and around the planet. The gravity is pulling you down but you're also so high up that you're falling in parellel to the earth's curved surface. That's "orbiting" If you were to jump any lower and had no sideways velocity then you would get sucked straight back down to earth.
What's crazy to me is the fact that this ginormous universe is so fine tuned. Like its incomprehensibly big, yet particles (that are practically invisible) are the building blocks of everything. Fundamental and elementary particles working together to create atoms. Which work together to create elements. All held together by invisible forces. Insane to me that these TINY things are responsible for the entirety of this vast universe.
No, it's not. The fine tuning argument is absurd and only used by young Earth creationists. There's zero evidence that it's even possible for the universe to be any other way, so to say it's fine tuned is nonsensical. If it were different then that's just the way it would be and you'd be calling that fine tuned as well.
Wrong. The universe works the way it does because thats the pathway it originated in. If it were some other pathway you'd call that fine tuned as well.
7:55 Planets aren't flat disks, they're spheres (ish). They're just wayyyyyyy too big for anyone to notice the curve from the ground. The curve is obvious if you look at like a tennis ball because its diameter is like 4-5 inches. The Earth's diameter is 12 742km and the moon's is over 3 800km. Mars is in between, but I forgot what it is. Point is, you won't see the curve from the ground, but you still can't fall off because there is no "edge". Gravity pulls everything to the center of the planet they're standing on. "Down" is wherever you're being pulled towards (see "which way is down" by Vsauce for a clearer explanation 😅. The reason you don't fall to the center of Earth is because the ground is in the way. Gravity also extends to infinity, but the farther you are from an object (planet, asteroid, moon, etc), the weaker gravity is and by the square of the distance. So if you move 1km away, the gravity will be roughly a million times weaker there. Now that I say it, it sounds weird, but the maths don't lie... Here's the equation: F = G(m1*m2)/r^2 where F is the force, G the gravitatonal constant (6.67428x10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2), m1 is your mass, m2 the mass of the planet, and r the distance between the center of each body.
There's a bit of woo near the end of that video. The term "speed of light" is used for the absolute speed limit of the universe. There's more to it, but nothing can be outside the observable universe, because nothing can move faster than the light we see coming from it.
oh boy I've been waiting for this one since you did the history of the world Thanks so much. really enjoyed it. I think I've watched it a dozen times myself I hope you watch it again You really pick up new stuff every time just like with that history of the world I think I've seen that more than a dozen times too
You're correct. Going to the space station has a time length for your service. Three months, a year, or whatever. I don't know how long. Going to the moon is a single shot. Go, do work, and come back, the end.
To answer your question on gravity its pulls to the center of the planet, all planets have it and if i remember right the bigger the planet the stronger the pull so you will feel heavier on a bigger planet and lighter on a smaller one. Also in space there is no right side up or upside down.
Well I'm glad I'm here on this teeny tiny dot that has such a diverse population. I just wish we ALL took better care of her. She's all we got! And you thought the USA was big...Lol!
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden.

I've never understood why people say how insignificant we are when compared to the size of space. To me, the size doesn't matter, how much is happening out there doesn't matter. Most of what is happening in space is mindless, is not alive, it just does what it does. Humans, and any life for that matter, is far more significant than, say a dead planet or moon, or a bunch of gas lit up like a neon sign from radiation. Yes it is pretty, but only a living thing can recognize the beauty of everything. I think life is the most significant thing about the universe, not it's size.
A still: we are in size several magnitudes closer to the size of the observable universe than we are to the smallest possible distance: a plank length. Meaning we are bigger compared to the smallest (possible) thing, than the biggest (observed) thing is to us.
Yes, we are all around the Earth. People on the other side of the world are upside down. Gravity always pulls you inward. In space there is no up or down
Fun fact: The entire "Apollo 11" mission back in 1969 took eight days. That means that it took the astronauts four days to arrive on the Moon, and they stayed there for 21 hours. Then they were able to come back in a little over three days.
Our sun will die before we could reach another galaxy. That's why I love Star Trek. Possible warp speed and folding time. Using man made black holes to travel. We live only 80 years on average. So make the best of your life and believe there is an afterlife. Good video.
Crazy to think that it would take us around around 37 200 years just to travel one light year. We can’t even travel to the nearest star, except for the sun, as it lies about 4 light years from earth.
Usually things of this scope is not taught in school. Atmost one would learn about our own galaxy and the age of universe. But further knowledge is only taught in undergrad and grad school.
James messed up what can be done in an hour between Earth and Mars. It's not 3 messages between each other, it's 3 one-way messages. It's actually a radio signal. The actual time is a little over 4 minutes per way when the planets are close, and the previously mentioned 20 minutes per way, when furthest apart.
Sorry about the second post, but I couldn't do the necessary research without posting below first. You ought to watch the video "Universal Size Comparison 3D". Also, you've heard of the Hubble Space Telescope. It was named after astronomer James Hubble of the 1920s, who was the first to realize that our Milky Way galaxy isn't the only one out there.
At the center of nearly every galaxy is a super massive black hole, and inside each black hole is another universe, which also have black holes, who also have other universes in them. Infinite layers of universes.
Hello from Florida USA!! Absolutely love your channel! What a pleasant surprise to see Millie up front. Fabulous! May I suggest watching the movie The Martian staring Matt Damon. Very interesting to think about being stranded on another planet. Love all of your videos, especially the cooking pecan pie!!! Love from across our little planet!!
So about the gravity question. There is a video explaining how a humans physiology might develop differently if they were born on other planets in our solar system. For example, Mars has a lower gravity (3.721 m/s²) than Earth (9.807 m/s²), so a human would more than likey have a "stretched" bone structure compared to what we know on Earth.

I heard smartphones alone have more computing power than the power it took for the module to land humans on the Moon. So every teen in Highschool has more computing power than the moon landing. Imagine that...
I was 7 and now I’m lost.
@@S1D3W1ND3R015 The computers on the ground came up with coordinates, the computer on board could only fly from one coordinate to the next, or do other procedures.
So we put the Smarter person in front? She is the one who knew you do not put the full koolaid packet in a small water bottle and no sugar. Good move!
Being from the US, I love your accents!! Greetings from NY :)
FINALLY!!! Millie is in charge! Praise the Lord!
Love you guys, great couple, love your reactions ❤ 👍
I think the last words in this video are the most important "discover TOGETHER". Imagine what humanity would achieve if we all finally learned to work together and not against each other.
Watching now but so reminds me of when I was about 16 I looked at my dad and went "Dad, how can the universe be infinite but if it's not then what so basically it still goes on forever but hows that possible" His answer as usual spot on " forget you ever thought about that if you ever want to sleep again at night" He was right, the ridiculous amount of times I sit up at night just going " wait...."
The scale of the universe is absolutely incomprehensible to the human mind. We just didn't evolve in an environment that gives us any perspective on such huge distances.
For as long as humans have existed people were asking themselves "Where did we come from", "How was this world created", "What is in the heavens?" And we live in the first few generations in history that can factually answer that we now know at least some of the true answers to those questions.
Like the person above said. Our minds literally aernt capable of comprehending the scale of the universe. Like the video said. It is gonna take 30,000 years just for our probe to get out of our own solar system.
He gave you the seat. He already knew you'd be married lol
Love this video! Thanks for reacting to it!
A sad bit of trivia: The first radio signal with the strength to actually broadcast beyond Earth was unfortunately made by Adolf Hitler. Which means it’s possible that the first message aliens would get from-about earth & earthlings was potentially from a total dick.
Glad to see you guys are back! Love your videos :)
Millie has always been in charge...LOL. Good for you on taking charge in your proper chair
Communications in space will be just like letters from hundreds of years ago…You would write a letter asking how things are and give your side of the story and send, then maybe in a few weeks or months you would get a letter back. Rinse and repeat. We’ve been communicating like that for several thousand years, it’s only in the last 80 or so years that we’ve gotten used to instant communication.
"mai Kya Karu, fir job chod dun"?
Is the universal answer of these types of videos 😆
Yeah when I see this sort of thing I think that it is almost a certainty that there are aliens out there but given how far away everything is, it's likely that we'll never meet them - we'd have to invent some sort of warp drive like in star trek to even have a chance
I have a degree in astrophysics, so I think about this sort of thing a lot. Even so, thinking about the enormity of the universe always boggles my mind!
Is that a prerequisite for mindboggling?
Bro I just graduated high-school and want to get a degree in astronomy is it worth it?
I don't have a degree in astrophysics, but it's one of my most beloved subjects and it sure doesn't help with existential anxiety (or whatever you call it). Imagining I'll stop existing one day is terrifying enough, but the fact that the universe will cease to exist at one point is beyond terrifying.
@@Inferiis it’s not really scary to me it’s beautiful that we even exist
Loved the brutal, insignificant comment at the end, it's why I just subscribed. 🤣
Ngl this was A LOT to take in!! Like low key scary in a way. It’s crazy bc like I knew in the back of my mind that the Universe is HUGE but when it’s put into a visual it made me feel microscopic sized.
Millies thinking of the bends and that happens because of pressure under the water you can’t rise too quickly otherwise you get
“The Bends”
Oddly enough when you solo reacted to this video years ago that was the first video on your channel I watched and got me subscribed to you.
The space between the earth and the moon is big enough that you can fit every planet in our solar system, in that space and still have some room left over.
Lmao her genuine confusion about the shape of mars
Mars rovers have internal navigational systems so they don't fall off the edge of cliffs, which we might not have time to see and correct for given the delay if we were driving them completely manually. They made a huge deal about it at the time and is probably what you're confusing with falling of the edge of the planet
Imagine looking at the moon knowing that a couple dead people were there. Luckily that didn't happen.
Love to see the BOSS in the big chair.
Welcome to the Universe. Please stay with your tour group. You REALLY don't want to get lost...
Hard to beleave that man has even got that far out with the satalites taking pictures and sending them back to earth
i am so insignificant but i can't bring myself to oblivion.
seeing how big the universe is just devastates me
I always loved that video--completely mind blown. Saturn is definitely my favorite. If we pronounced Uranus the right way (oor-ah-noos) it wouldn't be so funny. Great job in the driver's chair, Millie!
When space travel first started, they kept the astronauts in quarantine for 7 days to see if they had any affects from the travel. Perhaps that's what you were thinking of. This is a good example of our perceptions and how they color our ideas of life. The entire Universe is 10 Billion times larger than our largest idea of what it could be... not what we THINK it is.
7:50 To better understand "orbiting" around a planet vs gravity and sticking to it....Imagine if you were on a cliff and jumped. You'll eventually hit the ground due to gravity. Now imagine you make a taller cliff and could jump really far off of it. You almost hit the ground but because you were so high up and jumped off really far ---> this way direction that as you approach the ground you're missing it because the world in a sphere. What you're doing is essentially falling forever. Going around and around the planet. The gravity is pulling you down but you're also so high up that you're falling in parellel to the earth's curved surface. That's "orbiting" If you were to jump any lower and had no sideways velocity then you would get sucked straight back down to earth.
Falling fast enough that you fall past the edge of earth...forever
What's crazy to me is the fact that this ginormous universe is so fine tuned. Like its incomprehensibly big, yet particles (that are practically invisible) are the building blocks of everything. Fundamental and elementary particles working together to create atoms. Which work together to create elements. All held together by invisible forces. Insane to me that these TINY things are responsible for the entirety of this vast universe.
No, it's not. The fine tuning argument is absurd and only used by young Earth creationists. There's zero evidence that it's even possible for the universe to be any other way, so to say it's fine tuned is nonsensical. If it were different then that's just the way it would be and you'd be calling that fine tuned as well.
Wrong. The universe works the way it does because thats the pathway it originated in. If it were some other pathway you'd call that fine tuned as well.
7:55 Planets aren't flat disks, they're spheres (ish). They're just wayyyyyyy too big for anyone to notice the curve from the ground. The curve is obvious if you look at like a tennis ball because its diameter is like 4-5 inches. The Earth's diameter is 12 742km and the moon's is over 3 800km. Mars is in between, but I forgot what it is. Point is, you won't see the curve from the ground, but you still can't fall off because there is no "edge".
Gravity pulls everything to the center of the planet they're standing on. "Down" is wherever you're being pulled towards (see "which way is down" by Vsauce for a clearer explanation 😅. The reason you don't fall to the center of Earth is because the ground is in the way. Gravity also extends to infinity, but the farther you are from an object (planet, asteroid, moon, etc), the weaker gravity is and by the square of the distance. So if you move 1km away, the gravity will be roughly a million times weaker there.
Now that I say it, it sounds weird, but the maths don't lie... Here's the equation:
F = G(m1*m2)/r^2
where F is the force, G the gravitatonal constant (6.67428x10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2), m1 is your mass, m2 the mass of the planet, and r the distance between the center of each body.
"Bloody hell! We're small!" Ahh accent
2:44 I can't imagine how alone you must feel looking at Earth from the moon
There's a bit of woo near the end of that video. The term "speed of light" is used for the absolute speed limit of the universe. There's more to it, but nothing can be outside the observable universe, because nothing can move faster than the light we see coming from it.
No, *there is* matter outside of our observable universe, we just can't see it because light hasn't reached it yet.
oh boy I've been waiting for this one since you did the history of the world Thanks so much.
really enjoyed it. I think I've watched it a dozen times myself I hope you watch it again You really pick up new stuff every time just like with that history of the world I think I've seen that more than a dozen times too
You're correct. Going to the space station has a time length for your service. Three months, a year, or whatever. I don't know how long. Going to the moon is a single shot. Go, do work, and come back, the end.
Great picture of you two on the wall!
To answer your question on gravity its pulls to the center of the planet, all planets have it and if i remember right the bigger the planet the stronger the pull so you will feel heavier on a bigger planet and lighter on a smaller one.
Also in space there is no right side up or upside down.
We are in the upside down! Love the channel!
Switchin' it up.! You crazy kids!
I am a little surprised as a teacher she just asked if there is gravity on the moon. YIKES!
Science facts, yay. Happy New Year
Well I'm glad I'm here on this teeny tiny dot that has such a diverse population. I just wish we ALL took better care of her. She's all we got! And you thought the USA was big...Lol!
Didn't even watch yet and i liked your vid lmao you guys never fail to entertain! Love from 🇺🇸!
Favourite planet? Currently WASP-121b where it rains rubies. Ok, technically it is an exoplanet but it still counts.
There's a great book by an LDS author that shows that there's perfect harmony between the prophetic statements concerning the garden of Eden being in Missouri and the Old Testament account concerning the garden of Eden. It's called Canaan, Babylon, and Egypt A Comparative Theological Analysis on Creation sold by Eborn Books.
I've never understood why people say how insignificant we are when compared to the size of space. To me, the size doesn't matter, how much is happening out there doesn't matter. Most of what is happening in space is mindless, is not alive, it just does what it does. Humans, and any life for that matter, is far more significant than, say a dead planet or moon, or a bunch of gas lit up like a neon sign from radiation. Yes it is pretty, but only a living thing can recognize the beauty of everything. I think life is the most significant thing about the universe, not it's size.
That's why we have the most attention of The Big Guy.
God said "We are beyond words"
In Quran
A still: we are in size several magnitudes closer to the size of the observable universe than we are to the smallest possible distance: a plank length. Meaning we are bigger compared to the smallest (possible) thing, than the biggest (observed) thing is to us.
Yes, we are all around the Earth. People on the other side of the world are upside down. Gravity always pulls you inward. In space there is no up or down
Millie, good to see you're more comfortable with us to sit in the hot seat. Lol
The fact still remains that we are finite in intelligence, logic, reason and imagination.
If the universe is a Googel plex meter across it is mathematical guaranteed you have a doppelganger somewhere in the universe.
Really like the sharing the hosting!
Millie in the hot seat - Love it !
The majority of what about the Universe, has been learned in the last 50 years and it's amazing how much we don't know.
Fun fact: The entire "Apollo 11" mission back in 1969 took eight days. That means that it took the astronauts four days to arrive on the Moon, and they stayed there for 21 hours. Then they were able to come back in a little over three days.
Our sun will die before we could reach another galaxy. That's why I love Star Trek. Possible warp speed and folding time. Using man made black holes to travel. We live only 80 years on average. So make the best of your life and believe there is an afterlife. Good video.
Astronomy major here, the scale of the universe is humbling
Oh and Millie there is no “UP”in space UP is in every direction so that is something else to think of too !!!
at 25 seconds in .. I had to say .. "YESSSSS!!" .... the pretty one is up front today
Crazy to think that it would take us around around 37 200 years just to travel one light year. We can’t even travel to the nearest star, except for the sun, as it lies about 4 light years from earth.
Usually things of this scope is not taught in school. Atmost one would learn about our own galaxy and the age of universe. But further knowledge is only taught in undergrad and grad school.
James messed up what can be done in an hour between Earth and Mars. It's not 3 messages between each other, it's 3 one-way messages. It's actually a radio signal. The actual time is a little over 4 minutes per way when the planets are close, and the previously mentioned 20 minutes per way, when furthest apart.
That's wild and crazy to think about
Sorry about the second post, but I couldn't do the necessary research without posting below first. You ought to watch the video "Universal Size Comparison 3D". Also, you've heard of the Hubble Space Telescope. It was named after astronomer James Hubble of the 1920s, who was the first to realize that our Milky Way galaxy isn't the only one out there.
Pluto is a planet. Want to fight about it?
Ok I'm old school. Pluto is a planet. You won't fall off Mars. And yes, Kazoo was green and came from Mars.
Love the idea that they think there is gravity on the moon.
Jupiter contains more mass than all the other planets combined. The Sun holds over 98% of the mass in the solar system. Let that sink in.
At the center of nearly every galaxy is a super massive black hole, and inside each black hole is another universe, which also have black holes, who also have other universes in them. Infinite layers of universes.
Or maybe white holes? No one really knows for sure.
@@armelind which would be the expulsion of matter, thus recycling all the ingredients necessary for a new galaxy.
Being small to me gives me a comfort
The average time for a radio signal to reach mars is about 11 minutes, depending on the planets positions from one another…
Hello from Florida USA!! Absolutely love your channel! What a pleasant surprise to see Millie up front. Fabulous! May I suggest watching the movie The Martian staring Matt Damon. Very interesting to think about being stranded on another planet. Love all of your videos, especially the cooking pecan pie!!! Love from across our little planet!!
Damn.
That puts shyt into perspective.
So about the gravity question. There is a video explaining how a humans physiology might develop differently if they were born on other planets in our solar system. For example, Mars has a lower gravity (3.721 m/s²) than Earth (9.807 m/s²), so a human would more than likey have a "stretched" bone structure compared to what we know on Earth.
This is the video I was talking about: ua-cam.com/video/GwM4Jg9ChvM/v-deo.html
