    The video about pine trees was really interesting for me because English isn't my first language and I thought "pine tree" was a term for the whole Pinaceae family. In my native language (Swedish) we have a word for the whole type of tree with needles instead of leaves; "Barrträd". "Barr" is our word for the needles on a pine, fir, spruce etc. and "träd" is "tree", so it basically means "Needle trees". And I thought "Pine tree" was the English version of that.
    Thank you for clearing it up for me :)

    • @bubblinebee
      @bubblinebee Рік тому +15

      It's probably late for you but for anyone else who stumbles upon this the closest English equivalent is 'evergreen'. This technically refers to any tree where the leaves don't fall off in the winter, but in normal conversation is typically used for needle-trees.

      Colloquially, "pine tree" is used for the whole Pinaceae family, so you could consider "pine tree" to have multiple definitions; this is kind of like how "classical music" refers to both a specific era of western music aswell as a larger set of eras mushed together, or how "weight" variously refers to either mass or the force of mass under gravity. As the other two replies pointed out, there are terms for the colloquial usage of "pine tree" that removes ambiguity.

      ​@@Persun_McPersonson the thing is more about the fact that there's no names for what in english is called spruce or fir, there's only "pine" for all of them, it's not a "coloquial name for all evergreen trees", it's like some cultures have multiple names for what in english is called only snow, and they treat each name as a different thing
      the original comment was just trying to say how they thought in english, like many other languages, there's only one word for all of them and pine would be that word

    Off the top of my head, I’d say that for an object to be a moon it must
    - orbit its parent body such that the barycenter is inside the parent body (or some maximum percent from the surface)
    - have a stable orbit around its parent body
    - meet some minimum size, probably a percentage

    • @TheScarvig
      @TheScarvig 4 роки тому +55

      i can agree with that, though it is possible to fully describe all these criteria by looking at the barycenter alone:
      1. its easy barycenter inside one of the bodies
      2. barycenter is not allowed to get too far away from the parent body. i dont know if you can define a barycenter for unstable orbits, but if it has one it probably shouldnt be wandering around too much
      3. barycenter has to have a minimum distance from the center of the parent body. that would automativally exclude bodies that are way too small compared to their parent.
      and maybe just to make it clear we should add that the bodies themselves should primarily orbit a star, to exclude moons around moons around moons and stuff like twin asteroids

    Dinossaurs are one of the most interesting family trees I know.
    For some reason, the "dinossaur" family is everything that is descendant from earliest common ancestor between the triceraptops and the modern bird.
    Another example that is not a dinossaur is pterodactyl (funny how they look like birds and fly, but triceraptops are closer-related with birds than pterodactyl are).

    • @ExtremeMadnessX

      Yeah, but pterosaurus are still close relatives to dinosaurs. Also interesting brachiosaurus is closer related to birds than triceratops.

    0:49 I feel like that's a very American thing to get wasps confused with bees. Elsewhere most people quickly know the difference (sometimes it's obvious because bees will hover around flowers whereas wasps hover around food). Bees are cute, fat and only sting as a last resort (they'll die) but wasps are aggressive, pointy and will sting on a whim multiple times. I hear alot of americans giving bees a bad name probably because they're thinking of wasps.
