Eyeball planets are strange worlds where one side faces their star at all times, but they might actually be a good candidate for life, and a place we may find refuge in the far future.
Also, there may be a lot more of them out there than we think. So let's talk about these strange places in the universe.

“Jerry! Don’t you understand?! It’s a burger where the hot stays hot and the cool stays cool!”
I think that's more Kramer than George.
@@scragglewaggle4109 yeah, I can hear that.
"The hot stays hot..." /snaps fingers/ "Amazing, George. Elaine, forget about muffin tops and check this out. The hot... _stays hot!_ And the cold, well... I'm amazed."
Like Bot Kramer, is that you??
Lmao
Came for the exoplanets, stayed for the McD.L.T.
So on top of it being such a failed product, it's commercial was so cheesy that (in theory) Seinfeld should never have existed in its present form.
george can't stand ya...in that ad
Jason Alexander with hair!
He should have advertised the Calzone instead, lol
I loved this
Joe, you've Pavlov'd me and I didn't even know it. For the years I've been watching I've noticed the music that suddenly comes in during your videos but never realized you seem to do it at key points in your videos. And now when my brain hears the music, I start paying more attention... well played sir. Well played.
Oh, the possibilities~
Vsauce does the same thing.
"Mint, Dwight?" 😄
@@alastairward2774 Vsauce is a pro at it, the music he uses grabs your attention
Joe: they're so happy
The 80's: it's the cocaine
😆
Wish I could get some

Give me that good good!!
Yeah, good quality cocain back then.
@@daviddavidson2111 shit I wish I could get some weed too
That commercial is the most 80's thing I've seen in years.
@Carlos Saraiva It makes me want a McD-L.T. so I guess it works.
You mean since the 80's? :)
I need to visit the chiropodist now, to get my toenails removed from the soles of my feet.

hehe
*greatest awkward pause in history*
Joe: "What was this video about again?"
(LOL Thank you...that made my week! )
I wish there where "golden tumbs up" so we can vote on a youtube video you realy apreciate once a week.
This is one of my best video I've seen this week.
"They're so happy"
Me: those were the days of burgers and coke
@Tim O'ney I don't know about that, but I've been calling that place "Micky Disease".
You mean cocaine, right?
@@Crackpot_Astronaut why not both? You know the coke with coke back in the day.

Good call 🤘
ahh yes 80s burger king and wimpey days in reading berkshire England those were the days wen I was happier in myself and had very few worries in life..😑

@@phantomwalker8251 if youre still alive spill the conspiracy theory you were thinking of 6 months ago
I've been designing a sci-fi setting, and one of the sapient species is native to an eyeball planet - their homeworld basically has a ring of cities around the habitable part with very little attempts to exploit the frozen and scorched sides, locked in an eternal twilight.
I would love to read that.
@@erdelegy always has to be one person being transphobic in the sci fi community.. be better man.
@@erdelegy I don’t want you to “be better” I want you to fix yourself but not until you remove yourself from the internet. You aren’t making it safe for the MOST marginalized and that’s trans people, it’s so sad that you don’t see them as people
@@erdelegy ahahaha Awh now I feel bad you’re older, I’m just messing with u ahahahahah
@@erdelegy I will, try not to be so bigoted next time ;)
That transition from learning to the McD.L.T thing is a perfect example of my brain when at school or studying.
One minute I'm focused and learning and then someone says something or something pops into my mind and then I'm off the rails on something completely irrelevant.
“And I got tingly in some places”

“...LONG time coming”
Weird McDonald's commercial.I can't see George Costanza singing about a burger let alone lead a dance party in the street.
SERENITY NOW!!
...and with hair too.
Especially since the "SERENITY NOW" person just died less than a month ago... ***sigh*** (Jerry Stiller, Ben Stiller's father, who played George Constanza's father in Seinfeld).
If you need money people will do whatever it takes.
I hope he was high on something while he played the fool.
Maybe it contributed to his ego problems
If it was in the 80's, you may safely assume that cocaine was involved.

Crewed by Kryton, Lister, Rimmer, and The Cat.
@@chrismuir8403 Don't forget Cat started off the journey as Frankenstein the normal pregnant cat and it actually took quite a few million years of evolution in the ship's hold before Frankensteins descendants evolved into Cat. So I'm not sure we'd have enough time to really get Cat instead just getting lots of normal everyday cats with only minor mutations favorable to life on an intergalactic cargo barge, even with the excessive mutation caused by inbreeding.
Fan-nerds like me are not fun people.
@@SofaKingShit Red alert! Red alert! We have a Red Dwarf nerd. "Are you sure you want to go to red alert? It does mean changing the bulb"
@@SofaKingShit Cats are never more a couple of generations away from out-evolving us. They are just biding their time until the asteroid hits and they can take over.

This reminds me of one of the more memorable Star trek Voyager episodes. The crew of Voyager encountered an alien culture that did not have music. After the crew introduces them to music the alien culture quickly embraces it but merely as an expression of mathematics. Their compositions were nothing you could dance too or find soothing as the math behind the notes is what they enjoyed.
Eyeball planets sound so interesting - like the perfect setting for a fantasy story or something lol... Half the planet is desert, half is ice and the border between the two could be a habitable paradise.. Something about that concept is ridiculously fascinating to me. I so wish I could live long enough to visit an exoplanet or even be the first person to set foot on a planet. They could have like planetary retreats/resorts where you vacation on a planet with nobody else there.
Me: isn't that Jason Alexander?
Joe: Isn't that Jason Alexander?
No wonder we aren't colonising the galaxy yet. 😂
I was just about to comment that
Isn't that Jason Alexander?
:O
I bet his little tail was wagging in that we.
Me: isn't that george?
"hold up..." I was disappointed for a second when you didn't mention Jason Alexander... but then.. BAM... nailed it...
... and then some... 🤣
I'm glad I wasn't hallucinating when I thought that was him. His thinner shape threw me off a little. It's great that he graduated from pimping BLT's to accidentally killing his fiance by getting her to lick envelopes (fictitiously, for those who don't remember that episode of Seinfeld).
When the McDLT was released, it was the very first time you could actually get a sliced real tomato at McDonald's. They were super hyped about it and was internally calling it the 'whopper stopper'. After its initial surge it ultimately went the way of the McRib and McPizza
BUT, the McRib is back! Again!
"Far side" is a much better term for the far side than "dark side". Thank you. AND the problem with the McDLT is that they had the cheese on the wrong side.
Good morning Joe.
You are inspiring, and you have the humour to get the knowledge across.
I appreciate that!
@Bigran I like Joe got all stuff that comes experience and has the humour to go with it a great informative video. I organising EV and Renewable energy event next Feb 2021 in North Coast NSW and I will advertise it UA-cam
@@joescott
Mr. Joe , I hope you enjoy making these shows as much as I enjoy watching !
"One small point..." "Here it is !"
Any rocky planet with a significant atmosphere will be subject to a very slow "Vestigial-Rotation" , this being caused by the rotation of it's star , and the angular-momentum thus imparted to the star's radiation .
For a much closer examination , go to Google-Chrome search-bar and type in :
Why does Venus spin backwards ?
Go down to the red box and tap it , then focus on contribution .51 . . . . . Joy !!
hahaha that's gold.
"They're just so happy..."
We all were so happy back then, Joe, we all were.
I don't remember too much about the 80s. Buy what I do remember WAS more happy and positive.
I remember the introduction of microwave ovens, push button phones and VCRs. These were things to be happy about.
And I was in sweet oblivion
Me: "Coronagraph" 🤔
Joe: "This is not a graph with the Corona virus on it"
😂😂😂
It measures the amount of Corona beer on the planet to see if its worth partying on
@@Jakey4000...
That's like using "McDonald's" as the metric to determine if "burgers" are tasty.
Oh my. This video was hilarious and awesome. I’m so glad YT recommended this 9 months later. Effing great. I obviously need to visit your previous content more.
That deadpan, over-gain hum filling the awkward silence after the McD's commercial...
Omg his reaction to the McDonalds commercial was the very best way to start out this Monday. Lolololol
I wonder how long Joe's been saving that commercial for just the perfect video to use it in. That was pretty hilarious.
ahh man.. Thanks Joe. Just rewatched this video. Your reaction to the macD commercial is priceless! Thanks for the chuckle.
6:30 every time joe goes to the tangent cam
You get my Like today just for the "McDLT" tangent.
'90s, Joe... it was the 90s.
I think most of his likes (and comments) often come from the "tangents", not the main subject; as the case here: the "nearby" exoplanet: Proxima Centauri B!!
Love the longer format videos. Please give me more!
You really should do a whole video on the inverse square law, its REALLY IMPORTANT to a lot of the topics you cover.
"Everyone looks so happy!?" - Joe.

12:40 that would be so cool though, always having sorta cool and humid winds blowing on you with probably a little bit of light rain as well, sounds like paradise
They 80's were such an innocent time. If only we could send them a warning...
Too late. We live in a cyberpunk future now. Enjoy the ride :3
We did. But Ted Kaczinsky's brain got a bit scrambled during the transfer.
We were blissfully ignorant in the west. Growing up to the harsh reality was inevitable. I'm not talking about the trickle down golden shower economic reality. I'm talking about all the death and horror that the world has been experiencing non-stop since the beginning of humanity and we along with Jason Alexander were just shielded from it in the 80s and 90s.
Point is, we might find habitable planets. We might actually get to them, in say 200 years or more. But death and murder will follow us there as well. Just look at Star *_Wars_*
Innocent, hmmmm. Started with Iranian hostages, then cocaine contra wars, more Iran with that contra arrangement, the challenger exploded, economy tanked, ended with war in the Middle East. Also, a lot of young adults were drunk and coked up; hair metal, slasher movies, satanic panic. Maybe not so innocent
@ andresqverill yes we were
Why yes I'll believe anyone who says they did the maths in a british accent
You mean, "they speak English correctly"??

Hey Joe, are you doin' alright? You sound defeated to me.
You do an awesome job producing videos. I am very grateful of the research you do to bring us a summary of the ever-evolving plethora of scientific news. This video was awesome, too. Take care of yourself!
Now I remember why I tried so hard to forget the 80s. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, that bothered me a little bit. I blame my OCD...
I thought it was char, like charcoal.
Joe having nostalgia is kinda sad and adorable all at the same time.
That damn McDonald's bit, lmao. That was perfect.
And to be honest, I may have ripped a bong before this for the first time in a week. Perfect damn video to click on afterwards
Timing is everything....

Late comment; I enjoy many of the speculations you give which cause me to rethink what I. think I know. I am constantly reminded that "It ain't ignorance causes so much trouble; it's folks knowing so much that ain't so.".
Keep putting it out there, some of it is bound to be correct... thumbs up
I love your channel bro. You stimulate my mind whilst satisfying my comedy appetite.

McDLTs: The world's worst offender for over-packaging on a hamburger.
McDonalds claimed it was discontinued on those environmental reasons :D :D :D
The reward for building a post-scarcity society, with ideal recycling facilities, should be the return of the McDLT. Back in the day, I ate enough personally to explain the hole in the ozone layer.

Oh thank you for making this. So funny!! The mcDLT just saved my weekend :)
6:07 the funniest moment on any of your videos. This commercial gag just made my day.
'Is that Jason Alexander?' That cracked me up, I was thinking the same thing.
Thank you! That "hot side hot/cool side cool" reference has bounced around in my head for years, and you have released it. The Jason Alexander reference was an unexpected but hilarious bonus.
This video almost entirely encapsulates why British (English) folks like myself, love 50% of Americans. Thank you Joe for keeping us sane. The Math(s) was an absolute highlight, never seen/heard that before from an American, whether on accident or by purpose. Love you Joe x
This channel is awesome. Lol the subtle humor is spot on
i just had a mini existential thought: What if we are the first aliens and the rest of the galaxy has to catch up.
Crap! That means WE have to build all those Stargates.
We become the invasive monsters we created in movies
A good answer to the Fermi Paradox. In fact one of the best as far as it goes for our species' future welfare.
Personally myself I reckon it's a real possibility. We owe it to the universe to get ourselves off this rock & out there. Only 1 way to find out IF we're alone or not (and just plain old sitting here hating people not like us hasn't helped, isn't helping and won't help us any time soon.
Considering that only like .3 percent of the universe's potential lifespan has passed so far, we are definitely some of the earliest living things that will have ever had existed and life will spawn way after human beings are gone.... Extremely likely scenario and partial Fermi paradox answer.
15:03 would we have been able to make the same scientific advancements without been able to see the stars? That would make for a good video
That's a pretty great idea!
Read Asimov's Nightfall.
I like the idea as well. But how do we get him to do?

It's incogitable how we literally know so much more about space that what's underwater
Yeah seriously how much we know abt space compared to the ocean is like a ring dropped in the middle of the Sahara desert
It actually makes sense. You can study the cosmos to its far reaches thanks to telescopes. You simply can't see beyond about 80 meters in water.
We definitely do not know more about space than whats underwater. Think about what percentage of the ocean we have discovered, and compare that to the likely infinte size of space, and you find that we have disocvered a lot more of the ocean.
@@oliverwilson11 so what? The ocean as a whole is pretty homogenous, too. Look at one glass of water and you're basically seen them all. Doesn't mean that there are more interesting corners somewhere.
@Josh Belcher Nor will we be able to escape the Earth. That is just a silly dream for some.
Rather we focus on staying and picking up after out selves. And if we try and create the technology to explore our oceans we may learn some important information. Not to mention technologies that may aid us in exploring the stars and planets later on, if we ever get to that point.
Joe's reaction to the hamburger commercial.. priceless. If I was on the fence on whether or not to watch this channel...I am not anymore. You are hilarious and... and informative.
LoL that reaction to the ad, great. New sub!!!
I'm craving for a Hamburger now because of that 80's McDonald's Ad....
Speaking of space, space restaurants will be inevitable in the far future...probably
For certain there will be one at the end of the universe

I think “Charon” is pronounced like “Karon” like the name of the boat captain for the crossing of the River Styx. Creepy
I've heard it pronounced "Karen". He demands to see Hades, his manager.
@Audiocronic I want to peck your face 😁
The problem is that the proper sound for Charon does not exist in english. It should be pronounced like Mikhail in russian or like jalapeño in spanish. Now, if it all sounds greek to you and you 're stuck with CH as in child or K, go with K.
I hope that was helpful.
@@user-dn9wv8pr1i if we were doing the real Greek word yes, then it would be pronounced kind of like "haa-ŕon" (correct me if I'm wrong), but the guy who named it says it as "Karen" so either he himself named it wrong or that's just what we all have to call it now haha

That ridiculously over the top 80's commercial, in all its silliness, just made me pine so much for the 80's...
When you played the first McD.L.T clip I had to rewind and watch it twice. So glad you played more of it.
Joe: "What was this video about again?"
My brain: "The Moops"
At the beginning of the video, I was like 'cool, he's gonna talk about some habitable planet where future humans might move to'. By the end, I was just thinking that we are so lucky to have Earth.

"I don't want to live on this planet anymore" - Professor Farnsworth
Planet Nestor is our nextdoor neighbors where humanoids have a nest or base. Nestor is built(64=B2+U21+I9+L12+T20) with the mathematical model of FOD=6_4 compared to Earth's GOD=7_4.
64% of Nestor's surface is liquid or frozen water. 6 continents & 4 don't touch its equator/4 LARGE land masses. Their ancients' '6 Seas' & 4 oceans. 4 primary lunar phases of roughly 6 days (~6.4 days) each, thus their lunar month is 25.5 days with 6-day weeks and 4 weeks in a 'moonth'. Their lunar year 306 days + 6 day week + 4 days = solar year 316 days. Their inferior planets at .6 & .4 AU and/or superior planets at 6 & 4 AU. Their 'Venus' orbit is 168.51 days = 26.33 days avg. Nestor month x 6.4. Besides Nestor, their solar system has 6 planets and 4 are gas/ice giants. Their '6 Classical Planets' & 4 can be seen during the day/4 cast shadows on Nestor (Sun, Moon & two planets). Etc. See my tweaked NASA conference presentation at PlanetNestor.blogspot.com .
GOD=7_4 or FOD=6_4 on Planet Nestor Theory is Seal #2 of the 7seals.blogspot.com . Only the returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/ Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'. COVID-19 was added to Seal #4: S=19 (18.6) Theory.
Yo Brad, you seem to be pretty smart. Do you know how to level a stage though? It's easy, just adjust either side until the drummer is drooling out of both sides of his mouth.
Damn now I gotta watch that damn commercial again. Thank you Joe!
Who wants to bring back the McDLT now?
Nobody
I thought they sang BLT :( now a bacon lettuce tomato I'm totally for but a dlt? I was alive in the 80s, how do I not remember

We tend to underestimate drug use in the 1980s. Or at least that's how I explain that comercial.
Joe, your reaction to Jason Alexander was precious! I did the same double take, lol 😆
Amazing Scientific content! Now I want a McDLT like really lol
Time is over rated, I could see myself living without it.
Like the McDLT.
I thought same and tried ignoring time while in college ... unfortunately, keep being late for classes and to work. I had to get back on the time schedule.

I'd find it a tough sell to convince me that there is such a thing ( as time); what? a second? is earth based, so is a year, a __________ ( any quantity of time).
In year measures, of our galaxy takes about 250 million earth years. Should that not be really a true year? Time ? Meh.
I just want to say that the McDLT was my favorite sandwich, and I took it very personally when they discontinued it. And I blame the Flat-Earthers for this, because we live in a time when it's OK to blame anyone for anything, and Joe Scott might back me up on this.
"what was this video about again?" i bawked out loud😄😄😂
This was great! I remember the mcDlt, it was actually pretty good 😄
Thanks again, always interesting and entertaining.
Some random thoughts to do with eyeball planets. Ignoring for the moment that such bodies orbiting that close to a red dwarf are probably barren rocks without any atmosphere it's feasible some could be surprisingly Earth-like:
-If a planet close-in was locked in to a reasonably fast resonance you'd end up with something approximating a normal day-night cycle.
-Such a planet, aided by tidal heating, might have a strong enough magnetic field to hold on to it's atmosphere if it's star was on the quiet side for a red dwarf.
-Even if tidally locked a reasonably thick atmosphere could transport heat sufficiently well that most, if not all, could be pretty pleasant... apart from the wind!
Interestingly it's starting to look like our planet got it's solid core as recently as 500 million years ago, so our "dynamo" is a recent development. As the Earth wasn't a barren rock without an atmosphere prior to that we must have had some other mechanism for holding on to an atmosphere, and seemingly the Earth had strong geomagnetism in the past, for some reason...
...if that is true for our planet it might be true for eyeball planets... at least until their core solidifies, which might be delayed as a result of tidal heating. It may be a coincidence but it's funny that at just about the time our planet changed it's method for generating a magnetic field life developed some significant new tricks. We may also have dodged a bullet as it seems quickly developing a dynamo to replace whatever was going on before was not a given... Moon..?
So much speculation, so many questions, and so many answers yet to be found!
*Wait... was that Jason Alexander?" I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Not because of the old commercial but how you read my mind. I was thinking that same thought as you said it. Brilliant!
Such a good explainer
I do love the humor he puts into his talks...
When you figure out light takes millions of years to reach us and find out the planet might no longer be habitable.... :(
true
in lots of planets it's only decades or centuries
millions of years won't cause it to not be habitable, from the habitable zone theory
The Eyeball planet reminds me a planet from the original Foundation trilogy. I can't remember its name but Asimov describes the ribbon of habitable zone where humans lived and also talks about some who've ventured to the transition regions. It's not the main focus of the story but it is quite interesting.
Hey Chadwellak - yeah, Isaac called them "Ribbon Worlds" - sounds more appealing to me than 'eyeball planets'
So I've just found you and im loving that Charlie was actually smarter than he was in its always sunny in Philadelphia
Enjoy your sense of humor. Funny. Enjoy your shows too, explain things so well and understandable. The burger people were way too manic happy about things. I almost get that happy when I’m about to get lucky or find a forgotten twenty, but not quite.
