    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.

    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.

    • @realzachfluke1
      @realzachfluke1 Рік тому +36

      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.

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.

      The half life of heat in the atmosphere is about 15 days. So take your current temp and calculate. The declineing temp will take short pauses at the vapor, liquid, ice transition points but after we hit the CO2 freeze point in the first 6 months the surface would be pretty much uninhabitable.

      @KingNedya 3 роки тому

      @Naturally Perfect It's not Mostly Awesome's fault whatsoever; they were just saying that their Patreon money was well-spent, because Joe made a Shawshank Redemption reference.
      "Patreon money" is money spent on Patreon, which is a site where people can choose to pay a subscription, and the money they spend on the subscription goes to a person of their choice, in this case Joe, as an additional method of supporting creators they like. The people paying the subscription are called "Patreon supporters", or just "supporters", because the money they spend supports the creator of their choice. In exchange, supporters usually get special benefits in comparison to everyone else, usually having their name featured in videos (that's what the names that scroll at the end of Joe's videos are) and/or being able to see videos early, before they are posted on UA-cam. It is very common for UA-camrs to have a Patreon, so that they have a more consistent and reliable form of income, because UA-cam isn't exactly the most consistent when it comes to how well your videos do, and therefore, how much money you make.

    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.

      @@Trev0r98 You were explaining that main sequence stars don't blow up into a supernova as soon as they start burning, I merely pointed out that because we only just discovered a star doesn't mean it only just came into existence (obviously not taking into account the time difference due to distance). I didn't think it was that complicated.....

    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
