      Someone else pointed out that it's a matter of how you measure speed. Neutron stars are smaller, so it's possible the actual speed of the surface moves slower than this star.

      It looks like their “fastest spinning star ever” claim applies to some subset of objects called stars. Neutron star cores do rotate much faster, and black holes can rotate even faster at nearly light speed. White dwarf cores rotate around the speeds discussed in the video.
      High rotational speed commonly arises from something large and slowly rotating collapsing to a much small size. High density is a clue that something was much larger before. Collisions and other interactions can add rotation to an object too.
      Edit: I checked all their sources and they all pertain to white dwarf cores so maybe they meant “fastest spinning white dwarf star ever” but left out the words "white dwarf".

      They are the fastest. The fastest known star in the observable universe universe spins 716 times a second. It’s a pulsar named PSR J1748-2446ad. I think when they say “fastest star” they mean more common and regular stars like ones preceding in the main sequence and red giant phases. I don’t think they took neutron stars into consideration because they are less known, and just so ridiculously fast that it’s hard to explain.

    Actually, the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 23 hours, 56 minutes (approx.). The 24 hour figure is the time required for a point on the Earth to sequentially point at the Sun, which discounts the Earth's rotation around the Sun. It's the difference between a Sidereal day and a Solar day.

    • @WulfgarOpenthroat
      @WulfgarOpenthroat 2 роки тому +5

      Surface gravity increases as something gets denser even tho overall mass and gravity stay the same; as it gets smaller and more compact something on the surface is that much closer to all the different bits of matter exerting their own gravity that makes up the star's. Put another way, if you were "standing on the sun," the matter on the far side is more than a million kilometers away, and that distance reduces felt gravity, while a white dwarf packs all it's mass within several thousand kilometers. Or put a third way, high density stellar objects allow you to get closer to all their mass at once, so you can experience more of the gravitational influence of each particle.

    • @General12th
      @General12th 2 роки тому +3

      Poisson's equation for gravity is dependent on density, not mass. This makes sense though, since according to Newton's equation, gravitational acceleration depends on both mass and distance from the center: GMR^2. Since we know mass equals density times volume, and for a sphere, volume is proportional to radius cubed, we can simplify this expression into GDR^3/R^2 and from there, into ~GDR.

    So does the fusion of hydrogen from the red star happen all the time and some of it is just pushed away by that force or does gas fall then "explode" and prevent some of the gas from falling down for some time, and then after a while the cycle continues. Like a pulse.

    I rate this video positively, seeing the channel and presenter for the first time. He's got good appearance and voice, for sure. Yet I cannot help thinking there is still something missing: can anyone follow such speed of speech, such a deluge of scientific and thus often new information or information one has to have time to digest? I don't think so. And I hear what he says and understand him, yet the constant, relatively monotonous deluge of words feels like he has no spirit, no charisma. He's just a talking machine. I think the creators of these word speed races forgot that there needs to be a listener on the other side, and that the listener doesn't race, but wants to think over what is being said. They completely buried the thinking time and listener's reflection. I bet this issue will get to them only in few years.

      He sounds monotonous to you? That interesting. He's always spoken with pretty noticeable inflection and enthusiasm to my ears. He's been one of the 3 presenters of this channel since they started several years ago and most people tend to like him a lot, myself included. I'm sure everyone sort of "listens" in their own way, though, so I can see how some people may come away with a different opinion of the presentation than others. I guess it depends on how you're used to hearing people speak on a daily basis, too. I live in a pretty big, centrally located city so I hear many different accents on a daily basis, so Reid sounds pretty normal and somewhat charismatic to me.

    0:50 That's actually incorrect: the earth completes one rotation in less than a day because it's also orbiting around the sun. A day is defined as the time between two noons, and for the same spot on earth to be at noon twice, the earth has to spin a bit more than a full rotation

    Wow ☹️ Come on SciShow.. that’s such poor research. “More than twice a minute” is nowhere near the fastest rotation for a star. There’s pulsars out there that rotate 716 times per SECOND. With the compilation clip on Black Holes the other week, I figured maybe it was just because the first video was very old that Hank was saying wrong things. But this appears to be a pattern ☹️ I can’t point my kids at school to this channel anymore when you’re saying false things that are so easy to fact check. What’s happened to this channel?

      Honestly, I'd give SciShow Space a pass here if this was the first error I'd seen recently. But it's not. It's so strange to see Hank being careful and talking about no contributing to misinformation in other venues, only for his channel here to now be misinforming people regularly.
      I don't believe Hank/John/Complexly are just focused on a cash grab at all. But I'd say H+J are stretched too thin to supervise their managers of their different projects properly, and so there's no-one to ensure those managers are themselves keeping the eye on the ball.
      I fully accept that it's possible it was the host who misspoke when reading the script off the prompter. But that's a known production problem many channels have had, so the Fact Checker's role should not just include the script but also the final rendered video. Anyway...
