I absolutely love that a young listener is loving your content, it shows hope for intelligence and critical thinking will still be in our future.🤟 I'm more of a Star Trek guy, but I LOVED your answer to which is better ST or SW.
Different chimps/apes use different tools depending on where they live/which part of the world they live in. So do corvids. And we think we're so special!!! 😀
Good morning Dana and the Ranch Fam! Hope everyone is staying warm this morning. Love that first item about Galileo discovering the first moons of Jupiter. "May the Prophets guide you to your answer." I love it!
@@victoriajohnson-parratt6975 Good morning, Victoria! RE prophets, likely not. I mean, we got where we are by some people listening to "prophets/profits". But as "the Prophets" exist outside of time as we know it, you're probably OK following them, provided you have a Bajoran to help you figure out what they're telling you.
Wouldn't increased Antarctic eruptions potentially reduce warming temporarily due to dust veil & gas effects in stratosphere and troposphere? (Pinatubo 1991)
How did you fare during the nasty weather? We have a skim of sloppy wet slush covered by freezing rain. The warm water of the Chesapeake saved the Northern Neck this time. 😊
My understanding of Jupiter is that is a gas planet with a solid core. The gravitational pull would have to be significantly higher for it to turn into a star.
5:45 It's about relativity. If you're to die at 80 and you're 35 yrs old now, spend 5 years of your time in light speed and you'll stop in the future, but you still have 40 years left of your time to observe that future. Going at light speed doesn't extend the life of your cells and imbue them with extra life energy
STOP SHOOTING THE DANG WOLVES!! They are no threat to humans and a very limited threat to livestock. Livestock that should be insured anyway. I don't get how stupid you have to be to kill a Gray Wolf. I hope Beau is taking it... Well, seems like an inappropriate emotion, let's say handling with as much grace he can muster. I know he has a soft spot for those wolves.
Apple prices are going up because of greed. I live in the heart of apple country and there hasn't been any effect of climate on production. Every once in a while there's a freak hailstorm while they are budding up that can cause scarring but nothing else is affected.
Regarding traveling at (or at near) light speed, the easiest way to remember is to think of mass, time, and velocity as different parts of the same thing. The more there is of one, the less there is of the other two. In this case there is more velocity, meaning there is less time and mass. In the case of actually traveling at c in the spatial dimensions (which is NOT the speed of light, it is the total speed everything is always traveling in some combination of the three spatial dimensions and time) then since velocity is at maximum, mass and time would both be at minimum, which is zero.
California has strict laws about wild animals being pets (the monkey who was taken into custody during a DUI stop). It will likely not be returned to the "owner". They are actually illegal to own in Missouri (monkey in pink tutu); however, there seem to be some local laws allowing it.
Man, I really think the embracing of nuclear energy is quickly becoming the only feasible way to gain time to switch to alternative energy sources in a way to manage climate change. I dont think any other method will be fast enough to help much.
I disagree vehemently. Wind and water power are horribly neglected and can provide more energy that we can use. Both can be quickly constructed if you accept the concept of micro-generation where the power is needed instead of the silly centralised production that has proven so vulnerable in Ukraine.
If I’m not mistaken in Italy a district there has more renewable cheap power than they can use which has making it hard to get investors. This is how backwards we humans are.
If those small passively cooled nukes can ramp up quickly enough and be cost effective enough, great. But it is going to take all methods, especially the ones that are currently practical (like the one on my roof) and it's going to require national and international action. Read The Ministry for the Future if you have time.
@@JimHolder-pk2kk nukes are NEVER cost-effective. They are, by far, the most expensive way of producing electricity. They are inefficient and their waste is dangerous for long than our species has been around.
If we'd embraced nuclear energy decades ago rather than falling to Soviet propaganda heightening the risks of nuclear energy because they wanted to keep Europe dependent on fossil fuels, we'd be better off. As things are in the mid 2020s, though, all the evidence is indicating that switching to renewables will probably be faster. The current push from certain mostly right-wing sources is a smokescreen - they recognise they've lost the climate change debate, so instead they're trying to delay the full adoption of renewables by starting a new debate over which alternative we should be using, thereby keeping us dependent on fossil fuels for as long as it takes for that debate to run its course.
About light speed travel and aging ... the traveler's experience of the passage of time is unaffected, so life extension is not possible through light speed travel. At best you would get a "suspended animation" type of effect where the traveler stops aging relative to their surroundings because for them time has stopped for both their body and their mind and they are functionally a statue to any non-travelers. But from the point of view of the traveler themself their life expectancy, and their experience of their own life, is the same as for non-travelers.
Missed opportunity to say "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" for the Star Wars vs. Star Trek question 🤣 though I guess that could unintentionally suggest a preference
Stone tools allowed pre-humans to consume meat without evolving specialized jaws/teeth for it. So instead we got expanded brains and even better tools to go with our wimpy jaws/teeth. 🙃 The stone biface is potentially the most important tool in the history of the universe, because without it we wouldn't be able to think the way that we do.
Addendum for folks that want to know: And had Jupiter been large enough to ignite into a star, life on Earth would most likely not have been. Our planet would have received way too much solar radiation from two stars, even if Jupiter was pushed back to say, Neptune's orbit. So no, 2010: A Space Odyssey wouldn't have ended well if the aliens managed to ignite Jupiter.
@@victoriajohnson-parratt6975 good morning! I reckon this is the only road I'll travel today. Folks this far south are not very good ice/snow drivers! And I don't have a need to go anywhere!
On the dinosaur thing: The Jurassic Park scenario appears to be impossible (at least with current technology), but I have heard of research that indicated that chickens still had all the genes to make the physical features of a small theropod, it just requires turning off the genes that resulted in bird features instead. The foetuses were terminated before reaching viability due to ethical concerns, but if those concerns could be resolved that could be a viable route to recreating that group of dinosaurs. It wouldn't be recreating any specific species, though, and it would only be the branch of dinosaurs that birds evolved from, not the full diversity of mesozoic dinosaurs.
Speaking of the twin paradox, I just heard that a new study taking gravity's effect on time into consideration may have eliminated the need for dark energy to explain the increasing expansion of the universe. Really looking forward to digging into that and seeing if it's really a possibility. Dark energy never sat well with me.
Star Trek or Star Wars is easy, Star Trek, slavery is outlawed on civilized planets, and most of the AI (ie Mr Data) is reasonably non-violent. Also want to say i love the background images you're using now, they give an impression of "bold adventure".
No, there are a lot of animals considered exotic that people keep responsibly. A total ban would decimate the reptile hobbyists. Pets like corn snakes, ball python, geckos, frogs, all of which are relatively inexpensive and easy for people to care for and many people who cannot have cats or dogs have. It would also affect anyone who keeps things like chickens or alpacas. Or the invertebrate crowd who have things like isopods, tarantulas etc. You don't know what you're talking about by saying this. A total ban on exotic pets would mean millions of people would have to give up their well loved and cared for pets unnecessarily. If you care about exotic animals at all, you would instead do research and support foundations like Animal Ark who actively fight for animal rights in the US and very much involved in pushing for legislation that makes sense from an animal welfare perspective along with making sure people aren't completely screwed over by stupid blanket ban laws like you think should be enacted. As an FYI a lot of animals are going extinct and there are many pet exotic animals that now are basically islands of survival meaning people keeping and breeding something like an endangered species of tarantula is keeping the species alive when it otherwise is dying off in the wild. Seriously you have no clue what you are talking about spouting this.

Jupiter would have to be 96 times more massive, or about 8% the mass of the sun to begin nuclear fusion, and be a ref dwarf star.
Regarding traveling at (or at near) light speed, the easiest way to remember is to think of mass, time, and velocity as different parts of the same thing.
The more there is of one, the less there is of the other two.
In this case there is more velocity, meaning there is less time and mass.

Thus is explained why light travels at the speed of light ... and nothing else can.
addressing the Jurassic Park question - dinosaurs never completely disappeared.
today we call them chickens! (and birds in general)
That's pedantically correct according to cladistics, but it's not what the girl meant by dinosaurs and everyone engaging in that pedantry knows it.

Technically, the person travelling at near lightspeed ages just as fast; they just don't have as much time to age in as we do.

There should be a total ban on keep ''exotic'' pets. It's so cruel.
No, there are a lot of animals considered exotic that people keep responsibly. A total ban would decimate the reptile hobbyists. Pets like corn snakes, ball python, geckos, frogs, all of which are relatively inexpensive and easy for people to care for and many people who cannot have cats or dogs have. It would also affect anyone who keeps things like chickens or alpacas. Or the invertebrate crowd who have things like isopods, tarantulas etc. You don't know what you're talking about by saying this. A total ban on exotic pets would mean millions of people would have to give up their well loved and cared for pets unnecessarily. If you care about exotic animals at all, you would instead do research and support foundations like Animal Ark who actively fight for animal rights in the US and very much involved in pushing for legislation that makes sense from an animal welfare perspective along with making sure people aren't completely screwed over by stupid blanket ban laws like you think should be enacted.
As an FYI a lot of animals are going extinct and there are many pet exotic animals that now are basically islands of survival meaning people keeping and breeding something like an endangered species of tarantula is keeping the species alive when it otherwise is dying off in the wild. Seriously you have no clue what you are talking about spouting this.
