      The English word zodiac derives from zōdiacus, the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek zōidiakòs kýklos (ζῳδιακός κύκλος), meaning "cycle or circle of little animals". Zōidion (ζῴδιον) is the diminutive of zōion (ζῷον, "animal"). The name reflects the prominence of ANIMALS (and mythological hybrids) among the twelve signs.

      Well, "zoo" technically does not need two O's since the word "zoo" was derived from the word "zodiac".
      Look again at the word in the above definition. Notice the line above the "o" in the word zodiakos? It dictates a long "o" sound.
      Well, that same line exists over both O's in the word "zoo".
      It is us who actually pronounce "zoo" incorrectly, for it originally came from the word "zodiac" which also has the line above its "o".
      Over time, the sound was softened to the "ooo" sound which we use today.
      In the end, Neil is 100% correct.
      Our current pronunciation is the result of MANY decades of use by several different generations of people.
      To be honest, there are many words which are taught to be pronounced incorrectly all throughout grade school.
      I can not say "trust me" because we are in a youtube comment section. But I can say that I was straight "A's" in all English classes and further mastered my vocabulary in high school.
      Neil is correct.

      Him mistakenly saying last "3" letters does nothing to disregard the etymology at all.
      Had he caught his mistake and corrected, my previous response would remain as accurate as it currently is.
      He messed up because he had the actual word zoo in mind before he spoke.
      But anyone with so much as 1 thread of critical thought knows what was meant.
      I am certain that you too knew what was meant.
      Twisting of what was meant does not mean he was incorrect. All that did was expose those who do not possess critical thought or comprehension of intention.
      It is not enough to hear or read. One must also COMPREHEND. Simple as that.

  • @twinton65
    @twinton65 3 роки тому +13

    Chuck makes the most insightful comment at 13:55 "that there is, indeed, a psychological and cultural influence on observation". We connect these observations to make patterns when, in fact, those patterns usually don't really exist. It's only a pattern from our physical, cultural and psychological perspective. I don't mean to overstate the obvious, but the three stars in what we call Orion's Belt really are not in a straight line; Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka are all different distances (by hundreds of light years) from Earth and in reality form a triangular plane. It's just that the plane is flat from our viewpoint, so we interpret it as a line with three equidistant similarly-bright points. From most any other vantage point in the Milky Way (or outside of it), we might call them Orion's Loincloth or Orion's Kerchief or some other cultural name. And such is true for all the constellations; they are patterns from our current Earth-centric perspective.

    Watching this just helped me understand politics and culture more. And, by that I mean that people don't always see things the way you see them. I'm a 33 year old American so I already knew that. However, this gives me a new perspective on how and why other people view things differently.
    Growing up, I thought all the constellations were recognized globally. It now makes sense that different peoples would put their own spin on them.

    Never knew how many keys there are in a piano. Now I will never forget - as many as there are constellations in the sky ;)
    To complete the list of Northern constellations that to some degree look like their names say: Corona Borealis, Crater, Cygnus, Delphinus, Draco, Gemini, Lepus, Sagitta.

    “The first three letters of Zodiac spells what?”
    Me: ZOD!
    chuckles: “Zoo”
    Neil: “correct!”

    No. We don’t have a didjeridoo but we do have the dog stars the 3 Brothers (Orions belt).
    I am Banjalang Nyangbal Dubaynaa (black woman). I know these stories I have the honour to retell them today.
    Thanks for the mention brother Neil 🖤💛❤️

    I was expecting many more than just 88 constellations!
    Edit: Wait, did you just say the first three letters of the word 'zodiac' spell 'zoo'? I thought it spelled 'zod'...Have I been spelling zodiac incorrectly this whole time? I suppose zod still works...If I recall correctly, Zod is one of the enemies of Superman and comes from the same planet, which is out in space...Just like the constellations.
    Edit 2: From Google: zo·di·ac
    /ˈzōdēˌak/
    Origin
    late Middle English: from Old French zodiaque, via Latin from Greek zōidiakos, from zōidion ‘sculptured animal figure’, diminutive of zōion ‘animal’.
    Looks like the word 'zoo' comes from 'zoological garden' and 'zoological' comes from zōion (animal) and logos (knowledge, study).

    I think the sky was far more darker when people named the constellations so they could see more faint stars. Nowadays we connect the dots very differently. Just look at Ursa Major or Camelopardalis. If you connect the dots differently than in the most star charts, you'll see the big sitting bear raising its head (instead of unrealisticly long tail) and if you look at the official boundaries of constellations you'll quickly deduce where the long neck of giraffe should be drawn (but it is not on your star chart)!

    Stars were vital for navigation and finding your way in the world. So they named them as points of reference and the names and stories helped you remember them and where they are.
    Picking a few stars that point the way home and naming them and telling stories makes perfect sense.

    2:38 In the Philippines, there's a folklore (?) creature with a head and lower body of a horse and torso of a man called tikbalang. Though I guess that's closer to minotaur than a centaur.

      Don't trust this guy, this show is really OBJECTIVELY good, u just might don't like the idea of animals.
      If your worldview is not limited by religion, culture or some taboo and you like dark humor, you will really appreciate the show. (comparable to Rick and Morty in its own category)
