I like that he delivers a lot of solid information in a relatively short time. So many science videos on YT are padded out to take ten minutes to explain something that could have easily been thoroughly explained in two minutes.
"That could be the case if it was a supernova that occurred last century ... the star went supernova sometime in the 90s". Wow, this hit me kind of hard. I still tend to think of the last century as the 1800s.

Ok, i have one that isn't about space...and maybe you already did it, but....here it is; Back in the olden days (before cell phones and CGI) we were taught that dinosaurs were cold blooded reptiles that dragged their tails and were about as dumb as a smart rock. At some point we found out that they were warm blooded, held their tails horizontally, had feathers, were relatively intelligent and were related to birds. The person at the forefront of these revelations was Robert T. Bakker. How about a segment on Bakker (himself a very interesting guy!) and the "evolution" of our understanding of dinosaurs?
He honestly is probably my favorite personality of all the science communicator UA-camrs. He doesn’t really try to be “hip” and “cool” nor does he try to be too rigid and academic. Like NDT tried to blow everyone’s minds too hard, and Kyle Hill seems to kinda dramatize his videos and make them a little too formal and scripted sometimes. Which is why he’s so good at what he does, but it feels more like a tv show than a UA-cam video. Joe just kinda seems like a guy you hangout with just talking about stuff he likes to talk about.

Hi - just wanted to clarify - though Thiem Hoang currently works as an astrophysicist in Korea, he is actually Vietnamese. I think "a Korean astrophysicist" may leave the impression that he is Korean when in fact he is Vietnamese. Though this may seem like a trivial detail, I think for countries that are often labeled as "third world" or "developing," it is important to point to individuals or other successes that may help combat that narrative.
@Bozkurt postuna bürünmüş yobaz AraB devesi lol. indeed. The funny thing is that it is the same in US. In northern and midwestern states it actually gets colder than it does here where I am now (Czech Republic), even being in lower latitude. And yeah temperatures of -30 and 40 are not supper uncommon in big american cities like Chicago. I guess just goes to show how big US is, where the South US rarely sees freezing temps, but in the north that is pretty much common place. I would say Russia is probably the same but I think all of Russia is in pretty high latitudes so everywhere there gets pretty cold lol.

Hey 👋 Joe lately I’ve been wondering about how mold can effect a human Neurologically. A friend told me it’s what causes old abandoned houses and buildings to feel haunted and why you might feel as if something is watching you or a presence in the room as well as seeing dark shadows in the corner of your eyes but when you look nothing is there. That sounds wild to me.
I’ve never heard of anything like that, but it is well documented that certain sound frequencies that are undetectable to you, but very detectable to your body, can cause major anxiety and dread in people. Oftentimes old machinery and locations like tunnels or crevices that wind can pass through can cause this effect.
@@rodrigosilvero5749Yep. It’s easy to forget, but air isn’t this still thing that just sits still when you’re inside a house. Air is a liquid that flows and has currents and eddies like every other liquid that flows.

something we talk about in canada a bit (because of the differences from east to west) is a wet cold vs a dry cold. a dry cold is like walking into a hockey rink. np.

The half life of heat in the atmosphere is about 15 days. So take your current temp and calculate.

Watching Avi Loeb's evolution from 'respected Harvard astrophysicist' to 'guy who talks about aliens on UA-cam' has been one of the many adventures of the pandemic.
Dr. Loeb is one of the people who truly have my deepest respect. And it boils down to this: he noticed a _problematic conservatism_ persisting among the mainstream scientific community, including his own colleagues in the astronomy community, that had clearly in Avi's eyes been resulting in anti-scientific outcomes, a bizarre, sheltered elitism that created a rift between the public and the scientific community, between what _the public_ (who tend to be the funders of scientific research one way or another) was interested in, and wanted answers to, and what mainstream, award-winning scientists thought was worth studying and looking into-not because they were or are bad people, but because they've gotten caught up in things like their academic bubbles, or their comfort zones, or their preconceived notions of what we can or can't find out there. And his response was to use the positions he's worked incredibly hard to end up in, and the respect and reputation he's gained in the mainstream community in the process, and of course _his voice,_ to change that. To *correct* the problems that have been stifling new discoveries for decades, and that even led to the outright bullying of scientists (and people in the general population) who wanted to scientifically pursue ideas that weren't considered testable, or realistic, or were seen by fellow scientists who believed they knew better to be _not worth our time_ to check. He is leading by example, and it's absolutely been working, so for that, he's more than earned my utmost respect and admiration. Period.
The key word he missed was "average". Photons always travel at light speed (c), they just get more "stoplights" along the way so their average progression is less than the slower neutrino that never has to wait for the stoplights.
@@Dragrath1 I was coming here to make such a comment if I hadn’t found it. Emphatic agreement that “speed of light” is not a good name and that we can do better.
I discovered this channel right at the beginning of quarantine last year, and I've been looking forward to your content every week ever since, keep doing what you do!
I live in Canada in a place were it's -40C in the winter and +40C in the summer so when I heard Texas hit -4 I kind of just scoffed but now I realise that for such a hot place that must be super super cold. Edit:Saskatchewan
When I was in Belize I was chatting with a local woman about our climate differences. I'm from Chicago. I told her it was 30 back home. She said 30? I don't understand. 30 is dead! 😄
to put it another way - i live in ohio. ALL of the buildings not made of concrete or some shit have an angled roof - in oklahoma where i lived for a bit, most roofs are flat. because, up here, 6+ feet of snow might fall, and the angled roofs will let that snow not collect as dense. texas got hit with a level of snow not even their buildings were built with the capacity to be able to handle.
About the lack of craters on Venus. To me it seems kinda logical that with an atmosphere 50 times as dense as ours, most asteroids will not be able to reach the ground. Remember the "Meteor over Chelyabinsk" in 2013. How fast that thing might have exploded / burned up in an atmosphere x50 as dense. Also, Venus is closer to the Sun (Ø 0,721 AE) and i guess, the higher gravitational pull of the sun also has an effect on how many objects are able to reach venus.
Shit, I'm actually quite early. Finally my chance to ask a question: I'm subscribed to you on both nebula and youtube, I still end up using youtube a lot for convenience, do you get the nebula bucks regardless or are those still view based?
First of all - Chapters are great! Keep making segments. Second - askaryan radiation, reminded me of equivalent under water - cherenkov radiation, very cool! Will read more about that!
I just discovered your channel on Nebula and I am BINGING. I really enjoy the material and your presentation of complex and mysterious stories. One note I have is your use of the word “theory”. Many of the theories to which you refer are actually hypotheses, not theories. I’m probably late in making this observation, but wanted to put it out there. Again, really enjoying the channel and your stuff on Nebula is even better. Keep it up and thank you!
Watched a video from you for the first time a couple days ago, and I've just been binge watching your entire channel.. Really interesting and funny, keep up the good work! - Science nerd out
The fun part about Omuamua is that this object estimated to be between 100m and 1km long sped through our system at about 85km/s and we only spotted it *on its way out* Would've have sucked if it was on a collision course with us, blinded by the Sun we basically would've learn about it on impact.
I just like the way Joe explains things. He makes it interesting even on seemingly mundane subjects. Well the whole team does. Great job! Side note: you guys should start your own school. Kids would actually learn because they are interested not just cause they have to.
18:24 "Of all the mysteries that we've talked about in this video, the source of cosmic rays is most likely the one that's gonna be solved in the near future with Nutella Scopes"
And cherenkov radiation is the visual equivalent of the phenomena. The key phrase is: "Faster than light _in the medium"._ - Which is a better way to say what you said about light in a vacuum.
Hey, I worked on ANITA! I built the temperature sensors used to monitor the temperature of the preamp on the individual antenna horns. But, my (admittantly scant) knowledge of Neutrino Physics is that high energy neutrinos do pass through the earth and then (occasionally) interact with the Antarctic glacial ice. Those are the types of neutrinos that IceCube (installed near the South Pole) is primarily looking for.
@@diyeana seeking the truth is a very valuable attribute. Both DE & DM seem to be properties of spacetime imo, but we definitely don't understand them nearly at all.
pretty sure the norwegians have pools in their backyards with salt and vodka added so they can swim laps on the sunny, negative 4 afternoons. it's funny to imagine someone in a bathing suit and earmuffs. hey, was there a perfume commercial with that image?
Yeah man. I’m from New England. Every fall I think 60 degrees is freezing then by January 60 degrees is beach weather. Also this year I picked up winter outdoor swimming (cause pandemic and pools being awkward) which really really REALLY cold hardens you.
This was a great video, I love the chapter format, and you managed to keep it all tied together despite being relative disparate subjects nitpicking: LHC proton-proton collisions measure 14TeV. each individual beam has 7TeV, but in this system we have two beam traveling in opposite directions.
Talking about gamma rays, I work for a university physics department on a free electron laser. We create gamma rays. We also have a lot of spiders that make themselves at home around the ring and the two rooms the gamma rays go into. I always wondered, if I get bit by one of those spiders, do I turn into Spiderman, The Hulk, or a Spiderman/Hulk hybrid? What do you think?
@Naturally Perfect it’s Finnish lol it’s basically a joke among Finns that since their country’s so obscured, when their country/nationality/language gets mentioned at all they say “Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan,” which translates to “Finland mentioned, meet at town square/center” i’m not Finnish myself, but I have Finnish friends who let me in on the meme after stumbling upon it on the internet lol
Phoenix Arizona here. I can understand the shorts but like how the t-shirt? Is winter for you like -20c. I'm used to a nice cool 15c here during winter lol.
same - i'm a bit of a cryophile to begin with, always sort of felt 'empowered' in an almost delusional 'felt stronger and had more endurance in the cold' sort of way, hardly ever got really chilled, even without a coat in like january. in ohio. heat on the other hand, tends to kick my ass. though weirdly i can handle 100 degree dry heat, from when i lived in oklahoma, it's hot and it sucks but it's not exhausting to even breathe, better than i can like 75 humid.

Why is Omuamua's movement considered so mysterious? Given the trajectory for it that was on screen, it seems to me like it just got caught in our sun's gravity and got a speed boost from that.
So you think that in roughly 10 seconds, you, some random person, can solve the mystery that’s eluded actual experts in this field… I would assume that if the answer was that simple, it probably wouldn’t be a mystery anymore…… particularly to the people who have dedicated their lives to studying this sort of thing…

Solution for Omuamua has been published. When you project that it is made up of nitrogen ice, it resolves all the issues about its albedo, shape and slightly higher acceleration that other typical (to our solar system) icy comets. Pluto has surfaces of nitrogen ice, so you clearly can form comets of same makeup.
Think I read something about that it was saying it sped up because the ice being melted by the sun acted like a jet engine pushing the comet thru space

The key word he missed was "average". Photons always travel at light speed (c), they just get more "stoplights" along the way so their average progression is less than the slower neutrino that never has to wait for the stoplights.
@@Dragrath1 I was coming here to make such a comment if I hadn’t found it. Emphatic agreement that “speed of light” is not a good name and that we can do better.
I discovered this channel right at the beginning of quarantine last year, and I've been looking forward to your content every week ever since, keep doing what you do!
I live in Canada in a place were it's -40C in the winter and +40C in the summer so when I heard Texas hit -4 I kind of just scoffed but now I realise that for such a hot place that must be super super cold.
Edit:Saskatchewan
It was!! And I had 4 or 5 pipes burst because our plumbing works differently up in the ceilings and walls instead of below. It was miserable
You live in Manitoba or Ontario then?
When I was in Belize I was chatting with a local woman about our climate differences. I'm from Chicago. I told her it was 30 back home. She said 30? I don't understand. 30 is dead! 😄
Shit fam you from Alberta?
to put it another way - i live in ohio. ALL of the buildings not made of concrete or some shit have an angled roof - in oklahoma where i lived for a bit, most roofs are flat.
because, up here, 6+ feet of snow might fall, and the angled roofs will let that snow not collect as dense.
texas got hit with a level of snow not even their buildings were built with the capacity to be able to handle.
3:10 i love how you’re talking about an event that happened 75 million years ago as if it is ongoing because space-time is funny
About the lack of craters on Venus. To me it seems kinda logical that with an atmosphere 50 times as dense as ours, most asteroids will not be able to reach the ground.
Remember the "Meteor over Chelyabinsk" in 2013. How fast that thing might have exploded / burned up in an atmosphere x50 as dense.
Also, Venus is closer to the Sun (Ø 0,721 AE) and i guess, the higher gravitational pull of the sun also has an effect on how many objects are able to reach venus.
Shit, I'm actually quite early. Finally my chance to ask a question: I'm subscribed to you on both nebula and youtube, I still end up using youtube a lot for convenience, do you get the nebula bucks regardless or are those still view based?
First of all - Chapters are great! Keep making segments.
Second - askaryan radiation, reminded me of equivalent under water - cherenkov radiation, very cool! Will read more about that!
I just discovered your channel on Nebula and I am BINGING. I really enjoy the material and your presentation of complex and mysterious stories. One note I have is your use of the word “theory”. Many of the theories to which you refer are actually hypotheses, not theories. I’m probably late in making this observation, but wanted to put it out there. Again, really enjoying the channel and your stuff on Nebula is even better. Keep it up and thank you!
3:39 we’ve never see that happened because we’ve been looking for a few decades over a timespan that is impossibly vast.
Fascinating. In my best Spock voice.
Watched a video from you for the first time a couple days ago, and I've just been binge watching your entire channel.. Really interesting and funny, keep up the good work!
- Science nerd out
The fun part about Omuamua is that this object estimated to be between 100m and 1km long sped through our system at about 85km/s and we only spotted it *on its way out*
Would've have sucked if it was on a collision course with us, blinded by the Sun we basically would've learn about it on impact.
I just like the way Joe explains things. He makes it interesting even on seemingly mundane subjects. Well the whole team does. Great job!
Side note: you guys should start your own school. Kids would actually learn because they are interested not just cause they have to.
I was never really into astronomy etc, but since watching your channel I've been hooked on learning more.
You make learning things interesting.
Joe is so good at getting you to like the video within 2 minutes without ever having to ask.
Omuamua was just aliens passing the blunt over, it’s our fault for not being advanced enough to capture it from space.
Space snoop
“...an exploding star, you would think, would have a pretty mean pitching arm.”
Love these sorts of humor mixed into your episodes. Well done Joe.
"I was actually comfortable at -4" *laughs in Canadian*
Privet Joe! My eyes are crying from laughter about your sarcastic laughter @4:30 !
18:24 "Of all the mysteries that we've talked about in this video, the source of cosmic rays is most likely the one that's gonna be solved in the near future with Nutella Scopes"
"What if you woke up one morning and the sun was just gone"
You might wake up but if there is no sun there is no morning.
we would go back to sleep then, or at least sleep in?
@@angelarch5352 not according to my alarm, that one doesn’t care if the sun is up or down.
Just a small correction at 11:06, Thiem Hoang is Vietnamese not Korean, but he teaches in the Korea University of Science and Technology!
"Hang on, we're all about to turn into lil Sebastian lost in a corn maze" LOL classic
RIP lil Sebastian, you will be missed 😢
Hey Joe, I could listen to you all day man, very educational but how the hell can you be so knowlegdable on all these topics?
He likes to read 😁
And cherenkov radiation is the visual equivalent of the phenomena. The key phrase is: "Faster than light _in the medium"._ - Which is a better way to say what you said about light in a vacuum.
Hey, I worked on ANITA! I built the temperature sensors used to monitor the temperature of the preamp on the individual antenna horns.
But, my (admittantly scant) knowledge of Neutrino Physics is that high energy neutrinos do pass through the earth and then (occasionally) interact with the Antarctic glacial ice. Those are the types of neutrinos that IceCube (installed near the South Pole) is primarily looking for.
The whole universe is a mystery. Dark energy and dark matter top the list in my book.
Yeah, and dark matter probably doesn't even exist ;) once we get a more refined understanding of gravity, I think this "error term" will go away.
@@The_Flamekeepers my thoughts exactly
@@The_Flamekeepers Then explain the flash 😈
@@The_Flamekeepers that may be true. The mystery for me is not necessarily what they are, but do they both exist? If not, what is the truth?
@@diyeana seeking the truth is a very valuable attribute. Both DE & DM seem to be properties of spacetime imo, but we definitely don't understand them nearly at all.
Without a wind -4c is just sweater weather but I'm Canadian.
Wow you are such a badass
I don't get why bringing up aliens is always such a "weird" idea, by all probability they more than likely exist somewhere out there.
You crack me up. Thanks for what you do with your channel.
-4C is when Canadians start thinking about putting a jacket on when they head outside.
Yep and think about looking for their earmuffs.
Yep
pretty sure the norwegians have pools in their backyards with salt and vodka added so they can swim laps on the sunny, negative 4 afternoons. it's funny to imagine someone in a bathing suit and earmuffs. hey, was there a perfume commercial with that image?
I’m from north vancouver island and idk what the rest of Canada is on but like constant coats from October to April
@@cleo5090 Yeah, but not like layering parkas or anything.
Its actually getting far more common in texas to see extreme cold outbreaks while at the same time heat waves are also becoming far more common
Climate change 🙂
4:24 That's a very creative name for a telescope, I thought it was a joke but I Googled it and it's actually named that
4:29 the final sound of this got me
Yeah man. I’m from New England. Every fall I think 60 degrees is freezing then by January 60 degrees is beach weather. Also this year I picked up winter outdoor swimming (cause pandemic and pools being awkward) which really really REALLY cold hardens you.
The blissful state of 'Never watching the news', 😂
This was a great video, I love the chapter format, and you managed to keep it all tied together despite being relative disparate subjects
nitpicking: LHC proton-proton collisions measure 14TeV. each individual beam has 7TeV, but in this system we have two beam traveling in opposite directions.
Have you spoken on black hole collapses? That would be fascinating to learn about
"Your videos always leave me in awe and eager to learn more about the mysteries of the universe. Thank you for fueling my curiosity.

Talking about gamma rays, I work for a university physics department on a free electron laser. We create gamma rays. We also have a lot of spiders that make themselves at home around the ring and the two rooms the gamma rays go into. I always wondered, if I get bit by one of those spiders, do I turn into Spiderman, The Hulk, or a Spiderman/Hulk hybrid? What do you think?
“For those of you who live in the blissful state of never watching the news....”
God how I envy them.
Come on in the waters lovely
I’ve got an addiction lol
I heard that Cosmic Rays created Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, but that would be a stretch.
Yeah that would really be
-_-
“15 years in advertising and sometimes I just can’t turn it off” - was perfectly executed and made me chuckle hard.
i couldnt do a youtube channel like this. i would end up spending literally several days just reading about neutrinos or however you spell it.
i recently found your channel and you are now my favorite youtuber
-4 Celcius is not cold! That is shorts and t-shirt weather. -Finnish person.
Canadian here -4 C break out the convertible and cruise around drinking an ice coffee. 😉
Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan!
@Naturally Perfect it’s Finnish lol it’s basically a joke among Finns that since their country’s so obscured, when their country/nationality/language gets mentioned at all they say “Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan,” which translates to “Finland mentioned, meet at town square/center” i’m not Finnish myself, but I have Finnish friends who let me in on the meme after stumbling upon it on the internet lol
Phoenix Arizona here. I can understand the shorts but like how the t-shirt? Is winter for you like -20c. I'm used to a nice cool 15c here during winter lol.
There are a few strange guys at my Swedish uni that go in shorts and t-shirt the entire year regardless of weather (even -20C)
You are, and have long been, one of my favorite channels. Great content!
I can get used to the cold, but I've never been able to get used to the heat.
same - i'm a bit of a cryophile to begin with, always sort of felt 'empowered' in an almost delusional 'felt stronger and had more endurance in the cold' sort of way, hardly ever got really chilled, even without a coat in like january. in ohio.
heat on the other hand, tends to kick my ass. though weirdly i can handle 100 degree dry heat, from when i lived in oklahoma, it's hot and it sucks but it's not exhausting to even breathe, better than i can like 75 humid.
Weird; "Cosmic Zihuatanejo" is the name of my acid-jazz-mariachi project.
Great video! So glad I found your channel!
My best answer:
Ball bearings. It’s all ball bearings now. Come on guys it’s so simple.
Actually, if you can figure out what is the optimal size and number of ball bearings to spread a load over the largest surface area (caused by stress deformation of the bearing with the contact surface) for a given space allowed for the bearings to fit under a given load. You can probably figure out anything...
Did I miss something? I am currently experiencing dreadful ball bearing fomo..
Thanks Dr. Rosen Rosenstein.
The oxymoronic nature of ‘unsolved mysteries’ on a channel that promises answers...
It's an answer to the question "What are the 5 unsolved space mysteries of today according to Joe Scott?" so, anything goes really.
He’s aware of this - in fact he’s said multiple times now that it should probably be called “Questions with Joe”
@@dundermifflinity I think the way it is it's more in line with our initially always naive approach to science and knowledge and the way reality usually evates that:
'You came here for answers? Here they are. What, the answers just gave you more questions? That's the universe for ya, kiddo.'
An oxymoron would be 'solved enduring mysteries'. 'Unsolved mysteries' is a pleonasm.
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 - and the reason Joe calls reviewing the comments ‘embracing the pain’ becomes abundantly clear.
When I was in high school around the time of the wooly mammoth, quasars were a complete mystery (unless you count the TV).
In my day the hearth was our TV. And we walk to school five miles away. Uphill to and from through three-foot snowdrifts. And we liked it
@@zed1stwizard Ha! Luxury! 😆
@@zed1stwizard When I were a nipper we used to 'ave to get up half an hour before we went to bed, we'd get an 'andful of cold gravel for us breakfast (if we were lucky!), then we'd have to walk twenty miles to 'pit were we'd work twenty seven hours a day for threpence, then when we'd get 'ome our old man'd literally beat us to death 'nd send us to bed wi'out any supper! An' if you tell that to young'uns these days they'll not believe you! 😆
@@AnthonyIlstonJones
Gravel? Baaa. Then you had it easy. We went to bed without anything to nash our teeth on most nights. But our pappy wouldn't beat us unless we let one of the youngins get eaten by bears. That only happened the one time I can tell ya. Then we would get bear meat once in a while. So we had it good on that score. Us boys all shared a bed and taken turns to stook the hearth every hour overnight. Youngins these days are soft and live like royalty. With their inside plumbing electric lights whole-house heating and less the six to a bed.
@@zed1stwizard You had a bed?!? Luxury! We had to sleep in a lake! That's only when the motorway was full mind.....😆
When I first saw Omuamua, what came to mind was 'Rendezvous With Rama'. Nothing else could compare to that! So, two more will be coming by!
You’re videos are amazing.... they’ve gotten me through a lot of long nights lol I was wondering if you could do a video on the Troxler Effect? I think that could be really interesting.
100% Omuamua was an alien, I felt it
It was talking to the whales, humpback whales, specifically.
@@marckyle5895 Or...It was a Magrathean sperm whale?
Probably rogue ship with a death crew from far far ago XD
It was Joe Biden's personality. Unexplained.

"This warm, humid thing that we get to live in; this biosphere that we get to live in..." Face it Joe. We ALL live in a bubble; quite literally.
“The Very Large Telescope”.
Did they let the internet name it or something? What was 2nd place? Telly McTelescopeface?
Deadpool reckons that, “cancer is a Superpower?” . . . Sort of?
The super power is sympathy
I thought that was Dr. Manhattan...
i guess it works, since some of the most powerful people i know got stronger from having cancer. . . and in an x-men kinda way, i suppose it's worth musing that some people might develop a superpower due to a mutation caused by cancer. . . anyway, i'm gonna go with, "why not?" :)
Well it did help my husband lose 30 lbs practically overnight. He's cancer free now though.
Every county in Texas was at or below freezing except for one near gavlveston. It was crazy cold, especially without electricity.
That "star shedding light" joke, made you win an instant like
Edit: Mentioning lil Sebastian too
Why is Omuamua's movement considered so mysterious? Given the trajectory for it that was on screen, it seems to me like it just got caught in our sun's gravity and got a speed boost from that.
So you think that in roughly 10 seconds, you, some random person, can solve the mystery that’s eluded actual experts in this field… I would assume that if the answer was that simple, it probably wouldn’t be a mystery anymore…… particularly to the people who have dedicated their lives to studying this sort of thing…

Always great stuff!
Thank you.
0:27 it's not that "get used to the cold", your body temp just went up because you were shoveling snow which also increases circulation.
That stars native species built a Dyson Sphere didn't they? and in such a short time... Well done them, pat on the back
No. They spent eons building the Dyson Sphere. We only lost sight when they put the last panel in place!
Maybe 75Ma ago they had only half built their Dyson swarm and the built part just swung around to the side that we would be on 75Ma later.
Maybe it was a significant period of time, and we only saw the last panel put in place.
They were probably busy making it since before we started recording.
@@Bob_Lob_Law Would be a hell of a job building a Dyson sphere around a star that big, not necessarily a good choice. And to the OP they're unlikely to be natives evolving to that level around such a young star, or do you think we're late developers?
What Joe has learned: working in cold weather will keep you warm.
Sorry Joe, I had to poke a little fun at it.
Exactly, he didn't get used to it, he warmed himself up by shoveling snow.
It's amazing how adaptable people are. Here, 25℉ means that I can take the trash out to the street in a t-shirt and shorts (barefoot if it's dry) if I hurry and there's no wind. A typical summer day in Texas would just about kill me though.
yeah, it really is just what you're used to.
60 degrees before summer hits feels kinda warm. 60 degrees after summer feels really cool.
Joe's got a great communication style. Interesting, engaging, funny smart guy.
Mystery #6: what’s the point of me, specifically? I suck.
Same :(
tell your parents why you exist.
Dude. Same.
"They have a few icecubes down there". There literrally is an experiment there called ICECUBE :D
The "pitching arm" line was gold. Had me cracking up.
Solution for Omuamua has been published. When you project that it is made up of nitrogen ice, it resolves all the issues about its albedo, shape and slightly higher acceleration that other typical (to our solar system) icy comets. Pluto has surfaces of nitrogen ice, so you clearly can form comets of same makeup.
Think I read something about that it was saying it sped up because the ice being melted by the sun acted like a jet engine pushing the comet thru space
I absolutely love how that one particular artist concept image looks like a half-destroyed Zentradi Warship from the Macross/Robotech franchise. ;) (timestamp 9:52)
