    16:30 You're partially right, yes the clouds and ash would trap the heat on Earth but the thing with global warming through CO2 and Methane is that those gasses dont reflect the sunlight allowing more heat to enter while not letting go of any. The ash would block sunlight which prevents the Earth from warming up during the "day" this makes it grow colder instead of warmer but I understand that it's kind of counter intuitive

      I am in no way an expert, but here are my thoughts:
      Greenhouse gasses have little to do with the sun. But rather preventing the earth from radiating heat outwards to space. But since the same goes for incoming sunlight, this alone doesn't cause a rise in temperature. (Or in other words: insulation works both ways)
      So my idea is that earth's OWN internal geothermal heat is (somewhat slowly) heating up the air/ground. Wich no longer cools itself like it used to due to the greenhouse gasses.
      But even if this theory is correct (it probably isn't). This wouldn't matter much, since it remains: "Greenhouse gasses cause global warming". Just with a different method/perspective.

      You're out of your mind if you think it NEEDS billions of years to settle into a certain steady state temperature. Do you know why August is the hottest month even though the summer solstice is on June 20? Because the ground holds onto the heat so the time delay causes a phase shift of about 50 days. The thermal time constant however is nowhere near billions of years.

This was back before Netflix went streaming, but even now there is a certain segment of society that can’t afford it. Typically holidays would bring people that were lonely, wanted an excuse to not be with their family, wanted doctor excuse to be off work post-holiday, and the “this has been bothering me for a while but there’s nothing on TV to take my mind off of it, so I thought it would be a good time to come it” crowd.

He was a dick and wanted to argue about the tests and x-rays ordered for him…in the ED he brought himself to. It was the closest I ever got to knocking a patient the fuck out. Patients like him cause apathetic hospital workers, which is bad for the workers and worse for genuine patients. Luckily, I only had to x-ray his chest so my contact was shorter than the RN or PCT.
      If anyone reading this has experienced an apathetic emergency DR, RN, or XR, the reason is more than likely from having too many “patients” that don’t belong there, are uncooperative, and take attention or resources away from the actual patients in need. Rarely, it can be chalked up to a “bad day.” Most good healthcare workers can compartmentalize and show their “happy” face for their patients.

    What shape must a reflector be in order to reflect from any angle. Answer is square XD having a perfect right angle that's reflective off both sides will always give a reflection back to the observer. If you look at yourself in a cornered mirror, doesn't matter where you move, your reflection stays in the corner.
    The sum of the included angles will always end up being 180degrees.

    Volcanic ash and dust particles from that would reflect the light, CO2 changes frequency of light and it can keep bouncing it inside. Ash would just yeet it back to space.
    CO2 absorbs visible light -> IR light -> keep bouncing it inside, volcanic ash -> reflect and yeet back to space
    So pretty much if you can absorb visible light and covert it to infrared then greenhouse effects kick in.

  • @atdynax
    @atdynax 2 роки тому

    Actually the reason we had global warming until 2016 was partially due to reduced cloud coverage. So an increase in coverage decreases the temperature, because less heat can reach the ground. The analogy with Venus is flawed, because that planet has amuch denser atmosphere, that is mostly made out of CO2 with thick clouds out of sulfuric acid blocking the sun. It is also closer to the sun, so it receives even more energy which is why it is so hot. Co2 levels on earth are 0.042% which decresed from 0.7% 500 million years ago. Most of that carbon is now in rock formations. We can't ever get to 1%. And cloud coverage is more likely to get us a snowball earth than a hothouse earth. It was hot on earth most of the time with 55.8 million years with the Eocene Thermal maximum at the end, where the earth cooled from +32°C to 15°C today with 10°C in the ice ages.

    Volcanic aerosols are quite different from greenhouse gases in their effect on the radiative balance. Volcanic eruptions which are powerful enough to send ash and sulfurous aerosols into the stratosphere (I presume in this dramatic case) would indeed be cooling by preventing the solar radiation from reaching the earth's surface. Even if there were more greenhouse gases in the troposphere, there would be way less infrared radiation to trap. There is real life natural history to back up the idea that volcanic eruptions are cooling when the ejecta reaches the stratosphere. This happened after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo and after the eruptions of Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 and Krakatoa of 1883 the following summers were cold enough to cause widespread agricultural failures.

    The volcanoes will create ash-filled clouds that would be super reflective. Tons of cooling gases essentially. Venus has specifically a CO2 problem, but volcanic smoke and ash will be super reflective. So anything that gets retained would be counteracted and superseded by the reflective effect of the gases/aerosols. Didn't some studies estimate the cooling effect some volcanoes could have (like Yellowstone's) if they erupted?

    I think the issue with volcanic clouds vs greenhouse gasses and water vapor is the ratio of how much they increase the albedo, and what wavelengths of light they most effectively trap. GHG trap infrared wavelengths very effectively while letting higher wavelength energy from the sun through - these high wavelength photons hit the the ground, heating it up, and are then mostly re-radiated as infrared, which is trapped.
    IIRC, volcanic ash with its large particle sizes is more reflective in those higher wavelengths, and thus actually keep photons out altogether, reflecting most sunlight back into space - yes some makes it through and are trapped, but not as many as are deflected, so the overall temperature starts to drop.

    Hmm on your point earlier in the video about the moon colliding with Earth in 65 billion years ago...not sure where you read that from. It was my understanding that the moon is actually getting further away and eventually will become tidally locked with the Earth. (which means Moon will always be on the same side of Earth as it rotates). That as I recall will happen long after the Sun dies so maybe that's what you meant? Or perhaps Moon's orbit getting smaller doesn't happen until after it becomes tidally locked and tidal forces with Sun/Jupiter slowly pushes it closer? If so that's something I didn't know about until now. :P
    EDIT: Actually there is a movie that sorta covers this. It was called Moonfall. Came out 2020/2021 I think. Forget exactly but the moon suddenly gets closer. Though the movie sorta spins off into hollow moon conspiracies and aliens so things get a little ... different near the end. Moon starts clipping mountains before the heroes save the day. :P

    Actually difference of the size of the moon in the zenith vs near horizon is not that big. In the video you said difference of 50 000km. But Earth radius is only 6370km, which is distance difference when moon is low vs high.
    Just about 1.6% difference, measurable but not noticeable to humans.
    But moon orbit isn't circle, it ellipse and its distance varies between 363 000km to 405 000km, about 40 000km difference.
    If 2 effects combine just right, you get ~50 000km of distance difference between moon at it closest or furthest away, but most of it is due to shape of the orbit, and not due to orientation of the earth as claimed.

  • @solsystem1342
    @solsystem1342 2 роки тому

    The reason the earth will cool under extreme volcanic eruptions is because ash is really good at reflecting visible wavelengths. Which decreases the amount of heat reaching the planet significantly. While CO2 is mostly good at stopping infrared heat. Which traps heat from the ground while still allowing a decent amount through from the sun. Venus is so hot because it lost its oceans and therefore the ability to remove CO2 from the atmosphere over geologic time. This lead to many earth atmospheres of buildup which caused the runaway greenhouse effect.
    I think the scariest impacts from this scenario would be the damage to ecosystems. Huge erosion and salting of every land habitat along with near total destruction of marine habitats on the continental shelf (aka almost all life on the planet). The oceans may recover but, a lot of diversity of land ecosystems might never (on human scales) recover if a lot of plants can't cope with salt and poor/no soil.

    I think you're mistaken about the Moon "eventually colliding with the Earth." The moon isn't getting closer, it's getting further away. The final configuration should consist of a tidally locked Earth and Moon, where the Moon has a higher orbit that is geosynchronous with one spot on Earth.
    Or I don't know. Maybe you're right and NASA is wrong. Could be.

      I believe it's a bit misleading to say that the Moon and Earth should collide in the far future. There are too many unknowns still.
      I believe the idea of the Moon falling back towards Earth is because of the tidal forces starting to disappear once the Sun starts swelling while entering its red giant stage.
      But then again, the assumption that nothing else would influence the Earth-Moon system externally for the coming 65 billion years seems a little far-fetched... Just because it has been fine for the past 4.5 billion years doesn't mean that it will stay that way. The Sun's red giant stage might swallow the Earth, a passing star might fling the Earth out of orbit, the Andromeda-Milkyway collision might have an influence, etc. On this scale, even the Universe itself is quite young for being "only" 13.8 billion years old. :')

    • @nocare
      @nocare 2 роки тому

      He specifically talks about this.
      When the moons orbital period matches the length of the earth's day and they become tidally locked the process reverses and the moon will start to lose altitude.
      To say it more straight forward than he did, the moons increase in orbit comes from tidal forces that allow the moon to take energy from the earths rotational speed, making days longer and the orbit higher.
      When there are no more tidal forces this will stop and the mood will start to lose altitude.

    • @nocare

      @@thecowilsoninc4175 Yes the moon is tidally locked to the earth.
      It however does rotate, once every 27 days the same as its orbital period.
      Since its orbital radius is increasing the rotational rate of the moon is slowing as well, since the orbital rate slows as it gets higher.

    6:20 basically saying "The reason for the moon to fall inword is because it is tidally locked" is a bit short of an explaination... To the extent the moon-earth system does not have external injection of angular momentum, once it's tidally locked the moon will stop getting far. Conversely, in order for the moon to get closer in the future, it should transfer angular momentum... either to the Earth, that should then spin faster again, but this is not possible, or to other solar system bodies, or via gravitational waves.

    Standard SSL Encryption currently would take over 100 years to break so unless you know the exact key 🔑 🔐 there’s no chance of breaking through in a standard lifetime, quantum computers would take 12 years to break that encryption cause they can process information more efficiently and effectively cause a quantum bit is always in a superposition of 2 states of 0 and 1 until observation, however quantum encryption is almost impossible to tamper with without someone finding out.

    What I've been wondering when I watched the original video: When the moon crumbles, why would the gravitational effect disappear? I mean most of the original mass of the moon is still up there, just in small fragments. Which would still have an effect on Earth, right? Or is it because the ring is all around the Earth that the gravitational pull of the moon-ring cancels itself out? What would the tides look like? completely gone I suppose or a sort-of hight tide along the equator but not at the poles? So many questions.
