those 3 first minutes, were the first 3 minutes of a super-education 😁😁😁😁
Electro-Positronic Field: -ve gas binds a ball of +ve cells freed by Full Escape Energy as electron-positron pairs
Spin: particles pull gas in straight/pump out spirals at 90'. Motion increases -ve gas intake, biasing spin at 90'
Magnetism: spin flows straight to a neighbour. Energy conservation and field balance preservation cause external circuits
Mass: inward -ve gas flow acceleration drags spheres of cells further apart inwardly but closer laterally to a packed core
Gravity: like mass but slower acceleration with drag on field cells cancelled by dark energy so cells remain equidistant
Dark Energy: more -ve gas near mass shrinks field, expanded by less in voids + new matter creation / black hole growth
Heavy Force: mass multiplier mechanism pulls in field before annihilating all heavy composite cored particles but protons
Heavy Fusion: in the Big Bang (and stars?) 2 positrons oppositely hit 1 electron (more than 2 electrons hit 1 positron)
Positronium: (e_p), Muon (ep_e), Proton (pep), Neutron (pep_e), Tau (epep_e). Neutron mass is halfway between muon and tau
Beta- Radiation: Neutron loses the electron, Beta+ is a new positron expelled and electron retained by a proton
Antimatter: 1,2 e_p pairs annihilate, 3 make a muon or proton+anti muon/proton, 4 a neutron+anti neutron, 5 a tau+anti tau
Lifespan: (anti) muons/taus at close to electric force speed (C) barely feel it but Heavy Force takes over when they slow
Nuclear Force: neutron electrons bond to protons. Mass and magnetism compacts and strengthens the nucleus
Black Hole: converts all matter to heavy force e+p crystal with a slowly annihilating centre, preventing a singularity
Photon: compressed, concentrated -ve gas wave core pulls in field cells as it passes. Field warps diffract and interfere
2 Slit Experiment: photon/particle field warps diffract and interfere, guiding the core. Detectors interfere with guides
Entanglement: field physically links objects but there could be hidden variables (ie. absolute temporal synchronisation)

@terryboyer1342 Sry, I really don't know anything about Montana. I am not from the US
10:48 As a coauthors of the "cutest applied math" paper, I'd say that the reason it took us so long to do the revision was not because "it was painful". It was quite the opposite: the most important result of the paper -- the "TPT Theorem" -- was not in the initial submission; we have stumbled upon it in the process of revision. Had it not been for the reviewer's ideas and suggestions, we would never have found this central result -- this unexpected property of 3D rotations as such, with implications far beyond the construction of trajectoids. So it took us about a year to investigate that property thoroughly enough for it to be presentable, design appropriate illustrations and animations, and describe what this property means in the context of quantum mechanics and classical optics. I know it sounds cheesy, but in this particular case the reviewers were indeed very nice and helpful. They've really made a difference.
that's nice, I think it was worth it
There are many useless researches in the world. Repeated content with the intent of profit and "junk" validation. I found really well done. The research is useful in many ways and I see it being useful in different fields. From military weapons to civil construction, toys and forensics as well. Salute!
I think mathematicians killed fundy physics. In this Electro-Positronic Mass-Energy EM Field model fundamental particle 'core mass' is the significant factor. A Muon is a 'heavily bonded' electron+positron (2 core particles) + non heavily bonded spare electron.. A Proton is 2 positrons heavily bonded to 1 electron (3 core particles).. a Tau is 2 positrons heavily bonded to 2 electrons (4 core particles) + non heavily bonded spare electron.. So: Predicted Tau Mass (approx.) = (Proton Mass+(Proton Mass-Muon Mass)... Tau Mass is 1776.86 MeV/c2.
--
938.27+(938.27-105.66)=1770.88... Protons don't have a spare electron while a neutron does (proton + spare electron) so we can use neutron mass instead of proton mass: 939.56+(939.56-105.66)=1773.46... The discrepancy (1776.86-1773.46=3.4) is due to core particle count effecting spare electron mass contribution, and/or neutrinos not existing, and mass detection experiment measurement variation (error margin).
--
The 'Heavy Force' is part of the Strong Force. 3 electron+positron pairs form a proton + anti-proton or muon + anti-muon so a tau is the most massive independent particle (barring a black hole as a heavy electron+positron crystal). Taus and Muons slow from (near) light speed due to matter interaction then the 'mass multiplier mechanism' kicks in before the electrons and positrons annihilate, leaving the spare electron, while a proton's mass is permanent and travels with it.
--
Quarks, all bosons except photons and quite possibly neutrinos DO NOT EXIST. The correct Standard Model definitely has:
electrons (e) & positrons (p), muons (ep_e) & antimuons (pe_p), protons (pep) & antiprotons (epe), neutrons (pep_e) + antineutrons (epe_p), taus (epep_e) & antitaus (pepe_p) and photons. Larger e_p clusters turn into these particles + antiparticles. Black hole e_p crystals slowly squeeze electrons and positrons to annihilation at their core, back to balanced=empty field.

Chemistry is based on "fire". Either heat (ether) is released or bound.
An electron is a heat vortex from matter to ether, and it tends to form electron pairs and especially "octets" with other chemical substances.
An octet is a CUBE, with eight corners (Platonic solid).
The position of the electrons, the place in the electron orbital, tells what its "octave" is. When the "octave" changes in a chemical reaction, a "heat quantum" is either bound or released, which is exactly what octave change means (or a jump-like transfer of an electron from one orbital to another.

Reconstruction of a song from brain activity... absolutely amazing
The difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is north-south but east-west. In the Asia Pacific region, they are called Typhoons ( Japanese taiphoo, mandarin? Táifēng) and in North America /Europe they are called hurricanes. I am worried that we may find out what a cat 7 hurricane is like as a result of trying to stop hurricanes, so I like this research about possible side effects.
"Hurricane" is derived from a Taino word meaning "Storm God".
Once a tropical cyclone reaches maximum sustained winds of 74 miles per hour or higher, it is then classified as a hurricane, typhoon, or tropical cyclone, depending upon where the storm originates in the world. In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon. Meanwhile, in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the generic term tropical cyclone is used, regardless of the strength of the wind associated with the weather system. (Source: oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/cyclone.html)
The southern hemisphere ones are just called cyclones. A willy-willy is a dust-devil.
@acmhfmggru I think I'd have to be naive to accept your assertions without citations.
@acmhfmggru If you think referencing known things in any way confirms proposals of unknown secrets, then you have bigger problems than not being able to predict birth dates from UA-cam comments.
In some arid regions, hurricanes are a major, albeit sporadic source of rainfall that will go away and lead to severe desertification if hurricanes are prevented. Here in Arizona, about half of the trees that I watched sprout and then grow got their successful start during a wet weather impulse from hurricane landfall.
Living in Louisiana, far be it from me to EVER wish for tropical weather. But after two months of no rain and triple digit (F) temperatures for weeks and weeks, I'm starting to soften on that attitude...
This! Even without knowing it I would assume that even something as destructive as a hurricane has a use within the realm of meteorology....whether it's the transport of water from A to B or the cooling effect it has on that region of water which evaporates.
@viktorm3840
Nature, including wildlife, I'd say, is also harmed from the destruction of hurricanes. It's not just humans and their structures.
@@davidadams2395 Yeah thou nature has ways of adapting to hurricanes notably one of the major sources of extreme resin(and eventually in the right circumstances amber )production is an adaptive response of trees to such tropical cyclones in order to seal the wounds from wind damage. This occurs in parts of the Caribbean such as the Dominican republic and is believed to have been responsible for the crazy sized amber formations of Burma/Miramar.
@@viktorm3840they've been claiming the sea levels are rising for some 100+ years, and yet billionaires continue to buy oceanfront property, and Plymouth rock is still at sea level.

Thank you Sabine. Always appreciated :)
"I'll just bundle up in a plastic cocoon and roll to work" -- As a remote work programmer, this is pretty much my life since COVID-19 times.
Envy
My work-from-home time during COVID was easily the worst ~year of my career. My job invaded my home and never left. It was always there (in the form of a computer on the dining room table) mocking, looking at me, taunting... even when I was theoretically "off work". Thankfully I'm retired now and will never, ever do that again.
@@lphilpot01 I understand how this can happen; it's interesting how WFH can have the opposite effect on different people with different lifestyle.
As someone who was always kind of obsessed with work but also having a hard time focusing, and also someone who lives alone, the transition actually helped me be a ton. It actually gave me more control of my time, even though commute was never an issue (10 min by tram to work). (For some reason it also fixed my sleep cycle!)
I did need to learn how to bring some level of social contact back to my life; esp. in first COVID months it showed that being introvert does not make me immune to bad effects of loneliness creeping up into my brain.
But for many of my colleagues I can understand how this was devastating, and I was more than happy to give up my desk space to those who need it.
@@lphilpot01 For me, the worst part of working from home entirely was the lack of interaction with other people, both in terms of simple social stuff and the useful things you learn just by running into people in the corridors by chance and chatting with them for a few minutes. I'm now doing 3 days a week in the office and working from home for the other two, which seems to be a really nice balance. I work in IT support and development, so a lot of the job can be done just as well from any random location as it can from the office.

Dear sabine,
I really liked your videos and i learned a lot about sciences
Regarding the idea of preventing hurricanes i am pretty skeptical
Since the main point for getting hurricanes is that you have too much heat in the ocean and this heat has to go someways; therefore it is useless to prevent a hurricane in a place, it will create simply in an other place.
Have a great vacation and see you soon❤❤❤
...hmmm instead of working against the hurricane we cloud maybe use it for something useful, by directing it or harvesting some of its energy... 1444 TWh per day.... is a lot

Yes it's more interesting to listen to while watching her breasts through that sweater and bra. She should do an experiment, by wearing the same sweater without a bra, and then try to determine what video got more views, I will argue the tighter her blouse is the better the views, and if she stopped wearing a bra with tight blouse on the views would be even more greatly increased, and I'd like to see the data on this experiment it would make very easy to follow and interesting content.

i was waiting your coverage on superchemestry thing, and as usual it payed off. Best scy news channel imo.
Both hurricanes and typhoons are tropical cyclones in the NORTH hemisphere. Strong tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific oceans are called "hurricanes", while those in the Northwest Pacific Ocean are called "typhoons".
Not how I was taught, which is hurricanes are in the Atlantic, while typhoons are in the Pacific.

Wow! This one is especially great. Great job!
My concern about stopping a cyclone would be the fact you are stopping another planetary cooling effect. --Also wouldn't stopping a cyclone be the same as preventing a forest fire? more wood piles up and so you now have the issue of the next fire being extra bad? (in this case - the ocean surface remains warm and another cyclone that forms later will have more to work with)
It might be better to speed them up or start lots of them, to use up all the ocean surface heat and disperse it without a big storm. Controlled burns, but with water.

Hurricanes are cyclones in the Atlantic, typhoons ate cyclones in the Pacific.
There are oscillatory effects because the temperature is low enough. Did you comment just to be annoying?
Yum yum. Nom nom nom.
@@olbluelipsno I did tho.
On the Pacific coast of North America, they're still called hurricanes. Closer to Asia, they're called typhoons.
The ones in the Atlantic aren’t romantic, and the ones in thenPacific aren’t terrific.
Hope you have a good vacation Sabine.
Hi Sabine, just stopping by to let you know I love your videos! They always make it onto the large UA-cam playlists I listen at work, so I can't really comment or anything when listening, but I'm home now and went into my history to pull this up. I listened to it earlier today. (What I add to my list on any given day won't be gotten to for usually at least a week or two or more because I'm adding more per day than I can listen to in one day, especially over weekends when I'm still adding but not listening at all, plus I might not see a video when its released but when I eventually come across it I'll add it in). Anyway, I love these and all the information you give and I love your telephone bit. Thanks for everything, Sabine, I'll be continuing to listen!
Thx Sabine for the news! About controlling the hurricanes : aside from reducing their impacts on human activities, which is the source of their strengthening and occurrence in the first place, I wonder about their role in lowering the ocean water temperature and that by controlling them we might reduce this effect, increasing furthermore the water temperature. Anybody’s thoughts on this?
You could be right, that's exactly the kind of undesirable side effect that we need to consider!
Yeah the cooling effect is important for storms it should also be noted that while most hurricanes form the way described you can also get hurricanes when a well developed mesoscale convective system a well organized class of supercell complexes formed on land gets out into warm seas, these are the monstrous thunderstorm complexes that produce organized downburst events (derechos) and sometimes whip up tornadoes and notably are just about as dangerous as Hurricanes in terms of wind damage.
We actually have already seen this play out due to some of the affects climate change associated with global warming producing long lasting persistent wind sheer conditions and heat domes out over the ocean which can act to weaken and or prevent hurricanes from forming as frequently as they typically do.
This actually appears to be a major mechanism playing a role in making stronger tropical cyclones as because the smaller less developed storms aren't getting to form and soak up the heat from the oceans, when storms do manage to form the undergo dramatic rapid intensification with storms able to grow from tropical depressions to full fledged category 4-5 storms in a matter of hours to days usually in places where the storms don't typically form.
Naturally when a storm forms this quickly in unusual places there is little no time to evacuate or prepare for the onslaught.
@@Dragrath1 thanks for your weather insights! I take from them that multiple scenarios are possible, but generally speaking warmer waters bring more fuel to storms / hurricanes. In a way, these storms also “burn” somehow this “fuel”, reducing the water temperature.
The music experiment with the reconstruction should be tried in reverse too. Ask the participants to see if they can trick the brain into hearing a particular song (they know very well) and then compare the reconstruction with the real song exerpt without telling the docs which song it was until after playing both side by side. I don't know about other people but I have been able to think of a song and have it play in my mind as if I was hearing it at a very low volume. Not to be confused with thinking about the song by controlling your memory of it, but by putting it on "play" and having your body respond to the memory hearing it as if listening to it. Let me know if you understand the difference or if you have had this experience with a song you have heard so many times that sometimes you think you are hearing it instead of remembering it. I think this is how we can use this technology to send information through "thoughts." It would take some practice (it isn't easy to purposefully get that "I can hear it" effect. But if successful, a reconstructed sound you make in your mind can be transmitted to another person through their auditory system. It might be where Elon can get the telepathy stuff.
I wonder what the brain patterns would be for a ticking clock that you no longer consciously 'hear' unless you look at or concentrate on it.
That's what I was thinking. Could the areas of the brain instead be stimulated to make someone hear something? Could that be used to return someone's hearing, even if at a low fidelity? Are the audio signals in the brain detectable for people with tinnitus? Could this potentially be used to treat tinnitus?
@@uku4171 right if you could isolate the tone for tinnitus could you turn it off?
@@vorpal120At least during silence. Otherwise you would miss other sounds as well
@@uku4171 Yeah, maybe just turn it off before you go to bed to help falling asleep.
Thanks for the heads up info. Really like your opinions on science! TY for presenting an accurate point of view to consider. Best wishes to all, and keep reading!
Great teacher 🎉
Being able to get audio from thoughts is so cool. Imagine the creative possibilities. Like I've come up with cool bits of tunes, but don't have the ability to recreate it with instruments. I could put these musics into reality. I hope this technology improves!
I hope too, because right now it sounds absolutely creepy!
I wonder if it's the same technique they used to recreate video from brain activity. I was disappointed in that because all they were doing was correlating brain activity with a video the person had watched previously and then recreating the video with that info. In other words, they wouldn't be able to recreate a Beatles song unless they had previously also observed brain activity while the subject listen to a Beatles song.
What I was thinking, is could the areas of the brain instead be stimulated to make someone hear something? Could that be used to return someone's hearing, even if at a low fidelity? Are the audio signals in the brain detectable for people with tinnitus? Could this potentially be used to treat tinnitus? Maybe something for Neuralink to work on.
@@uku4171 A cochlear implant works on that principle, except it stimulates the auditory nerve instead of the brain directly.

Good morning ☀️
How are you doing 😊😊
There is a straight forward way of stopping hurricanes, and it generates electricity as well. It is called OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion). What you do is pump cooler water from deep in the ocean and get energy from the thermal difference with the surface water. When this is done, the water discharged is basically an average of those two temperatures. Build thousands of large plants speckled all over the Gulf of Mexico and you might be able to reduce the surface water by 5 degrees and kill the hurricanes before they reach landfall. You can also do it on the Atlantic side of the US, probably starting somewhere below Florida.
The only hold up is making the large tubes required for big plants to bring up the water. There is virtually no OTEC to speak of today, but the idea has been around for 130 years or so. There are 2 very small plants operating. One is in Hawaii, the other is in Japan.
Very interesting news this week! I for one am way too cynical to believe that manufacturers of cellular devices will not create separate models to be sold in the EU and elsewhere. I suspect they will also find ways to make the cost of replacement batteries so ridiculous that many people will opt to just buy new devices, even in the EU.
The EU and US markets are roughly the same size, so it's not as if phones which meet EU legal requirements will be an insignificant part of the phone manufacturers output and can be treated as a special case. Even if nowhere else in the world follows the EU's example, they're still looking at around 30-40% of their output being EU-legal phones, at which point they mat well decide it's cheaper and easier to just make all their phones EU-legal.
Another possibility is that they may use some sort of ID chip on their batteries so that third-party batteries won't work. The courts are likely to slap this down though; HP and a few other companies tried it with ink cartridges and the courts required them to pay compensation to their customers and make available a version of the printer firmware which didn't check the ID chip.
@Michael75579 l certainly hope you are correct, and the EU legislation ends up benefitting all consumers. But I'm pretty cynical at this point. Lol
Creating two different models for the same phone would drastically increase the cost, which would reduce their profits, which would make Wall Street very, very sad. You don't want to make Wall Street sad. See what happens to stocks when profits go down by just 1%.
By the way, Samsung Galaxy S5 nine years ago had a removable battery, IP67 and was 8mm thick. They can do it, they just don't want to.
I've never been for government regulation of this type. They get so bored that they have to stick their fingers in everything, and usually cause problems that they then have to make a "fix" for. Yet they won't tackle things that they should be responsible for... like immigration policies.
For a manufacturer, this is an easily solved problem. Design one model of phone for the word market with a replaceable battery. Any models sold in the EU can have the battery door opened and the battery replaced. Any models sold elsewhere will have the battery door super-glued shut to the point where trying to open it will destroy the phone. Problem solved and profit$ preserved!
Not sure why but I'm so excited about the ability to reconstruct music from brainwaves!!!
better than shazam and regular people can make creative music
I want the ability to reconstruct dreams. Mine are super cool and episodic so they are a long ongoing story with character arcs and continuity and internal consistency. Know how I got where I am and why I'm doing what I'm doing. It's got wide angle shots, 3rd person shots, and first person parts. Long action scenes, and even filler episodes.
The only downside is that for some reason my dreams allow me to feel pain when I get hurt. But totally worth it for the cool Sci fi action movie replacement for what used to be nightmares. I'm no longer stuck in there with them, they're stuck in here with me.
Me either, I'm terrified. This means your thoughts can be translated. Who's listening to my inner mind? Are thoughts illegal? Can I get arrested for getting angry at something?
@@LunaHusky805 Well, this method at least only works when there are implanted electrodes.
The difficulties of getting as detailed information about brain activity from measurements done on the scalp,
well, there's some kind of like, "inverse problem" of estimating what charge configurations on the inside would lead to some outside,
and, it seems like the achievable resolution is much lower (and iirc that higher resolution measurements of voltage differences on the scalp, don't increase the resolution of what can be determined about the brain activity?), but I'm not certain how much of that is due to limitations of our current technology, and how much of it is a(n essentially) fundamental limit.
I'd be interested to see if anyone can come up with some air-tight arguments showing a numerical limitation on how much info about brain activity can be determined from (passive) measurements on the scalp.
I would expect that there is some bound which should be possible to prove (under certain reasonable assumptions).
I wouldn't be too surprised if this bound is strong enough to imply that that the reconstruction of the audio isn't achievable, but, idk.
I can just see "we stopped the hurricanes" becoming a future cautionary tale about unintended consequences.
That phone call made my day! Thank you!
7:20 WAIT WAIT WAIT didnt the ban on Sulphur in ships get rid of similar clouds and cause more warming because it turned out the clouds were actually reflecting light????
ban on sulphur decreases sulphur particles in emissions. Sulphur particles reflect sunlight but let infrared through better, so those cool the earth.
Decreasing contrails decrease water clouds. It doesn't decrease the other pollutants. Clouds can be like greenhouse gasses by being good at reflecting infrared etc.
The problem with sulphur was a chemical pollution one, not a greenhouse gas problem.
So, this is very different.
Hope you have a supervacation, Sabine
You're really great Sabine, thank you
For years and years when I was younger I had Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick stuck in my head, now I've got Caped Crusader from the album Never Breathe What You Can't See playing non-stop in my head. But I don't need anybody to remove it. And I think it was Adam Horowitz who said ''There is no darkness, only absence of light'' on the album Check Your Head.
BTW Sabine, you've got the most interesting pronunciations of some words in our fuct-up language, i.e., Parliament. I used to listen to a lot of Parly-ament Funkadelic.
Trying to stop hurricanes from forming is a seriously bad idea. They cool the ocean. Cooling the ocean is important. If we stop one hurricane the next hurricane that will spawn will just be more powerful. I think a better idea would be to induce more frequent hurricanes that have less capacity for destruction. That will serve to cool the ocean, bring needed rain, and block sunlight from warming the ocean.
Let’s gooooo
"Superfluous!" 😂Thanks great video!
Thanks Sabine, best news channel in the WWW.
I only have two comments on this video:
8:02 Did you really need to use RaccoonTail as a unit to measure altitude?
15:09 Too many layers for my pea-brain. As all the meat I've eaten in my life didn't feed a solution, I guess I'll have to eat more peas.
15:17 What about tornados? Wouldn't that be even more useful? If you can detect a tornado formation and disrupt the positive feedback, you could potentially stop tornado formation in its tracks and save a whole lot of lives.
The reason we may be able to stop hurricanes is because we can spot cyclones many days before they become hurricanes and/or make landfall, so that gives us a lot of time to respond to them. Tornados, on the other hand, form much faster, last a much shorter time, and are already on land and doing damage as soon as they form. One gives us days to respond and apply countermeasures, the other gives us almost no time at all.
As QuesoCookies said, tornado formation is practically instantaneous. Obviously there are prerequisite conditions that make formation possible, but it can literally go from 'stormy, and a tornado warning' to 'active tornado touching ground' in less than ten minutes. Not even enough time to drive across a city, IF the initial formation was spotted.
@@christophkogler6220 I'm not talking about driving anywhere. I'm talking about fleets of microdrones that can blanket a city during tornado conditions like swarms of locusts or butterflies that show up on radar. This would give the sensory data needed to make future weather modifications possible. It's definitely doable.
@@salaciousBastard And how much those per area do you need?
@@NameUserOf It wouldn't be area. It would be volume.
As an asronomer, i look forward to the day when there are no more jet trails in the sky. They're a pain in asstronomy.
@sabine enjoy your holiday, hope you come to New Zealand soon!
Great channel , wonderful scope.
Can we just stop to appreciate the magnitude of SASS that Sabine can generate? Bravo, madam. I tip my proverbial hat to you.
❤
I feel a Quantum Superchemistry to Sabine for the enlightening she gives to my mind
Amazingly interesting.
This videos contains a lot of great science ... I hope you reach 1M subcribers soon ...
Hello, how are you doing 😊
Quantum mechanics: the science that proves that, sometimes, even the universe doesn't quite know what it's doing."
It's not mechanics and it is not magic, it is as magic and as confusing as it would be a guy coming from the sky with a jet pack holding a cell phone and talking into a hi res screen a century ago...It is not intuitive, nobody knows shit why or what lies underneath as a mechanism but it is a statistical model of sorts that works here and there but not always...just as GR, newtonian gravity etc.
Removable cell phone batteries is such a great idea. It needs to be law in Canada as well.
They used to exist but people didn't buy them. Bad connections would show up. The phone and battery has to be thicker and heavier than just a pouch cell.
Less water resistant, reboot every time you swap.
Keep law out of business, we don't be old people setting laws for things they don't get
@@kapytanhook WOW, lick the boot of the tech companies. You don't know how phones work, they don't have to be thiccer [ :) ], they can be easily water resistant or even water proof, obviously the phone has to reboot when you hotswap the energy source thats's how electronics work. You should keep your boot licking out of legislation.
Edit: Everybody perfers the UR-Battery the only reason these phones "don't exist" is because "big tech" standardized glued batteries, not because you could make them smaller rather it's planned obsolescence.
@@kapytanhook I used to have a flip phone you could take the battery out.
Disagree strongly on keeping law out of business.
Sometimes it absolutely needs to step in.
@@kapytanhook, are you serious? Everyone I know just hates the fact that phones with removable batteries have all but disappeared! (Google translate)
@@halenner6638 Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro has one, buy a more expensive thicker phone then :p people complain but don't put their money where their mouth is
This is easily one of the funniest videos you’ve produced so far, Sabine. I couldn’t help laughing by myself here at the local coffee shop. And, as always, great science news! ❤😂
Thank you
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how Elon always finds the time to call every week 👍🏼
No.
Soon enough Xitter will be down and he will have too much time on his hands.
No
I think Elon is living rent free in Sabine's head. Lol
"Love you too" 😂
12:20 one of the few good things the EU has put out. I already had to take 2 phones back to the shop bc the battery started to bloat after less than a year of usage. Another phone's screen was cracked open from the inside and was, of course, binned. Just because I didn't manage to have the battery replaced quick enough. After that I purposely bought a phone with a replacable battery. Didn't even cost that much more.
And now people like me who like big batteries and watertight phones have been made illegal. Why does the eu hate choice so much? Why would they have to get involved? I hate the EU. The cookie and privacy stuff is terrible too
@@kapytanhook They didn't outlaw watertight phones, tho. I'm pretty sure engineers will come up with various decent methods.
@@Julia68yt why ban anything? If I want a phone without that feature, why can't I have it? To act like there aren't technical considerations to the current design is silly. I'm rooting for the EU to disband, they keep doing this stuff, no choice is always worse than choice.
@@kapytanhook Be my guest and try and find phones with a removable battery. Let me know how many you can come up with.
@@Julia68yt it's literally thousands for decades lol. Lg made ones up to 2017. People didn't buy them for the reasons I named. Are you under 20?
Have a nice holiday!!
On first hearing, I thought that "Let there be matter!!" is a rather cool statement to initiate an experiment, kinda like "lets lite this candle".
On the other hand, it might give persons outside the scientific community, who do not share this particular kind of humor, a reenforcement on the prejudice
that scientists really do have a god complex.
Reconstructing audio from brain waves is fascinating but, in my view, it's also terrifying. Humanity's grasp of technology long ago outstripped our ethics and the draconian uses to which an authoritarian regime could put such know-how should send chills down all our backs.
Did you find that reconstruction deeply disturbing ? because I did, it sounded like someone struggling to form words in a totally unnatural way. Creepy as hell.
Yea hard pass for me
"Guilty! We heard his thoughts"
Ai can tell what you're thinking by your body language
I've always wished I could just project my thoughts out instead of having to speak.
Yes, think of the dystopias that could be created with such technology, but don't let sci-fi thrillers prevent you from thinking about the utopias as well.
Sabine, A Cyclone is called a Hurricane in the Atlantic and NorthEastern Pacific Ocean. In the Indian and Pacific Ocean it is called a Cyclone and in the West and NorthWest Pacific Ocean it is called a Typhoon. André in Sydney
“Superfluous” was a great pull
When we get to the point where we have brain implants, AI will be able to read our thoughts and we'll have people going to prison for thought crimes. I'm pessimistic when it comes to new technology because of humanity's track record with new things and ideas.
Doubt this would ever happen seeing everyone has bad thoughts sometimes that if acted upon would probably end with them in jail. It’s not like the people making this technology and the politicians responsible for the public policy that would implement such a radical change think differently. They have the same negative invasive thoughts as we all do. There would be no reason for “thought crime” to ever be a thing. I always found this idea very flawed
Love your sense of humor, and last but not least of course the presented themes.
Hoping it won't turn out to be superfluous! This is wonderful stuff to learn from when awake, and strangely calming at bedtime. Thanks for making great content.
Thanks!
Many thanks from the entire team!
Thankyou for the suggestion Sabine. My next thesis - "how to grill a mushroom under a hurricane"😊
Schönen Urlaub wünsche ich, ich freue mich auf September 😊
Sie hat zwei schulpflichtige Kinder, sind da noch Ferien, wo sie wohnt?
Super video.
