There is no sound in a vacuum. Space is a vacuum. And if the tree were to stop floating in space, there would be no sound. But, also, space is so cold, the tree would be frozen to a billion ice crystals all the while imploding from the pressure of the space vacuum. I just did a smart.

Hi Joe! I asked this very question, in the comments section, on your "Is there life on Earth?" episode... about why plants are green. And why that specific spectrum of colour. Thank you for making this entire video about it! 🙂 You broke down one of the long-standing mysteries I've had about the world!
@@besmart Thanks so much for this video, it laid out some information I've been looking for so, so well. Would you have any reading recommendations for additional info on plant evolution, specifically the rejection of infrared light for optimising growth. Your video is the only place I have seen it referenced. Thanks so much!
Douglas Ceretta Hamerski but it would be cold out side with no kind of atmosphere you would be all alone more or less. You could fly far away from here and have fun fun fun in the sun sun sun
Douglas Ceretta Hamerski Black plants actually do exist on earth. The "Black Magic Elephant Ear" is even a popular garden plant. No need to change planet you silly :p
@@alanmorton5303 HA HA HA HA HA yes...I actually got the tune stuck in my head while reading that, lol. XD (Also you'd want to live on a PLANET _near_ a red dwarf, not IN one. Living _in_ any kind of star is not recommended by doctors and generally considered a bad idea.)
Also Echeveria afinis (Black Knight), its hybrid Echeveria "Black prince" and Aeonium arboreum atropurpureum get black when they are exposed to sunlight
Could you do a video about how animals see in different spectrums? I've been searching for how peacocks see the colors. It's really beautiful and explains why peacocks have such elaborate tails
Was Joe doing something weird with his voice? It was subtle, but it almost sounded like he was doing a Valley accent or speaking in baby-talk. Very strange.
So glad it's not just me hearing this, I can't figure out what's going on with it but it's really getting to me, did he spend a week hanging out with surfers in LA? Usually he sounds more punctuated than this
Not trees, but heuchera and some other plants have nearly a full rainbow in the leaves of different plants within their families. More growers focus on Autumn colors for heuchera, but there are some purples and pinks too.
this makes complete sense as some plants tend to take on dark hues based off the light they absorb; also shows how certain flowers can turn red, black or purple, even in good health!
Thanks! This video was so informative, as always, and answered completely questions we have been pondering this fall about why most trees are green. Thanks also for being part of #teamtrees
Imagine walking beneath a black forest canopy dimly illuminated by red light after a light ammonia rainstorm and thinking how nice it is to be out in nature, especially after that stiffling -20 degree Celsius heat wave ended.
Half as Interesting Ted-Ed Minute Earth It’s Ok To Be Smart All of these channels have formed a perfect continuous row of videos about trees in my inbox within the last ten minutes. I’m sensing some sort of collaboration or theme happening today. Call it a hunch.
I had an out of body experience where I went to other planets. One of them had a red star and the plants were black and purple. High noon looked like twilight. The forests looked like voids.
@6:02 Ok, you say that the green photo synthesizers evolved to use the left over red and blue light, and eventually out-competed the purples that were once dominant. But, with them gone, why didn't plants further evolve to use the now freed up green light again?
Maybe because there is no need. There was evolutionary pressure on them to exclude green light. But now that they could use green light again, they don't need to because they do fine on the lights they are specialized on.
@@karentjuhh101 - some plants feel a great need to use green light and could use it well. For example, plants on the forest floors during the main growing season (now those plants have to grow before or after the trees are having leaves). . . . My assumption is more that photosynthesis is so well tuned to blue and red today that there is no way to tweak the process to use now also green and yellow light. The photosynthesis developed during a billion year, and the winners were able to take the earth, but developing absorbing green for useful energy inside the cell doesn't have that time and the prize is smaller.
@@Achill101 I don't think plants on the forest floors absorbing green light would _actually_ help, since the problem usually is that light ain't reaching them at all, it would be trading six for half a dozen.
@@selenaichtis6762 - I like to hike through forests in the summer (to enjoy nature in the shade), and I see a lot of green light reaching the forest floor, because the green light is absorbed MUCH LESS THAN BLUE AND RED by the higher up green leaves of the trees. . . . We should look at data of actual light intensity at forest floors, of course (does anybody have them handy?). My guess is that the absolute light intensity would be high enough for many specialized plants to grow there IF the light spectrum would still be the same as the sun. BUT the ratio of blue and red light to green has decreased by factor ten or hundred by the time the light has reached the floor, I guess, and that would be simply not enough for plants living from photosynthesis during the summer.
I have a mulberry tree that was planted on purpose, an actual pine tree (NOT a spruce or fir! I learned the difference right on this very channel!) that was already there when I moved in, and a Siberian Elm that is _way_ too close to the house, scraping its branches creepily against the outside wall. How very...seasonally appropriate of you, tree. Nice Halloween atmosphere. :P (Fun fact: Siberian Elms are kinda like evergreen trees in reverse. Like this: Evergreen trees ORIGINALLY got their needle-shaped leaves to help with _dry_ conditions, and the fact that this also helps them survive _cold_ is just a happy coincidence. Originally meant for deserts; now the symbol of winter and winter holidays. Siberian Elms, as you might have guessed from the name, originally evolved in _cold_ but can also survive in DRY, even in places where you'd normally only get sagebrush and cacti. Hence, why they're all over the southwestern United States! Including my damn yard. XD)

2:45 Exactly the question I had for years! So, the answer is: a sweet spot for blue and red light evolved under purple algae and eventually took over. Cool, thanks!
I had the same question, and found this idea an interesting hypothesis indeed: Purple algae forced the ancestors of chloroplasts to focus on red and blue, and after chloroplasts had swamped the earth, they could not find a way anymore to use yellow and green light. . . . But how good has the hypothesis been studied? What is evidence for it? Is there any evidence against it?
Guys, if you are in school, ask ma’am or sir if you can send around a notice. If he does, great! Now, on that notice write something like this: SAVE THE TREES Wouldn’t you love to save the trees? They do so much for us! They even... (carry on with a paragraph or 4-5 sentences) IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP, WRITE YOUR NAME HERE: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP THE CAUSE, YOU CAN HELP US BY DONATING SOME MONEY FOR TREE SEEDS, SO WE CAN ALL PLANT THEM!
I appreciate your more detailed reasoning for plants being green that that useless curricular argument of "they are green due to chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are green because they reflect green light, because they are green".... I would appreciate you uncovering the mechanics of ATP, because that is another concept boiled down to a useless curricular argument "ATP is the energy currency of the cell, because breaking the phosphate off creates energy" but I cannot find anything more specific as to how that release of energy is instigating such a wide various range of molecular movement.
I would really like to know your thoughts on how timekeeping would have evolved on other planets. On Earth it's historically related to two things: Days and seasons. Days are obvious, and we track the year by the seasons. But not every planet HAS seasons (at least not the way Earth does), or even days! On a planet where the seasonal difference is much more mild, it may not be so obvious that there is a yearly cycle. And on a tidally-locked planet, bereft of a day-night cycle, how would timekeeping evolve at all? What would such a civilization use as a reference for the passage of time? It's delightfully puzzling!
Oh I've always been fascinated about that kind of stuff. People like IsaacArthur and Artifexian talk about it a bit on their channels, but there are so _many_ different day/year cycles! For example, how 'bout Mercury. The way it goes around the Sun quickly and rotates slowly, at some point during the long day, the sun appears to _back up and set again, then RISE again_ ! wut. All I came up with is that in the culture of a planet like that, maybe the "just kidding!" sunrise could be a metaphor for things that are a lie or too good to be true. Like, they could have sad country songs about "I thought you loved me, but you left me alone in the darkness, just like the false dawn..." :P
It's also related to the moon. What if the planet had no moon, or, for instance, it was tidally locked with its moon so that only one side ever saw the moon? In the latter case the two hemispheres would have radically different timekeeping methods. You might be able to have some longer timekeeping based on when certain things happen, like certain flowers bloom or insects emerge. Lack of day-night cycles would have profound impacts on life as we know it. Would sleep even exist? If life developed well before the planet became tidally locked with its star, there could be various evolutionary techniques to compensate for the lack of night. Yes, a fascinating subject & one that should be explored.
Hi, again I have read of such scenarios in Sci Fi. As for tidally locked planets, there would probably only be an inhabitable strip around the planet as one side is frozen and the other arid. (I like to think of it as a Twilight Zone.) The question might be that assuming simple lifeforms could live there, could they evolve into anything more complex. Just on Earth it took 2 billion years before (with enough oxygen from cyanobacteria) a chance encounter with a relative of the Asgard Achaean and an oxygen breathing Eubacterium to initiate the evolution of complex cells, the Eukaryotes. Then there was a long way to go before humans measured time.
This infrared kind of looks like my partial color blindness. And with my other eye seeing the ultraviolet Spectrum from a injury to my eye as a child, I already see colors like this that you are doing spreading on an alien planet. If it's brown or gold, I was entirely seeing different colors that were not the options given. The color green, such as a traffic light, it looks blue to me , and any color that is blue, red, purple, either looks different as well. When my ultraviolet vision overlaps with my color blindness, I get dull colors. And when I only look through my partial ultraviolet Vision, every color kind of looks like neon colors. It personally sucks when it comes to color puzzle games, but I can see patterns quicker than normal people.
I love plants, so so much. So much so that I study them at university. And the solution isn't just planting more trees. We NEED to stop cutting them down. Even planting 1 billion trees doesn't get close the ammount we cut down every single year. The solution isn't to plant more, it's to remove less 🤷🏼♀️ just some food for thought
Light is super fascinating! I enjoy this video and the UV video because those are two frequencies that I've always wondered what it would be like to see in.
"Feel free to leaf my channel. That was pretty acorny...Ok, that was pineful. I know you're sycamore puns. Just trying to spruce up the planet together!" 😂
Yes, wave length, while you are free to style information as you see fit, I would have better understood your physics by the old Roy G. Biv layout of the visible light spectrum. Another eye opening demonstration of what light frequencies plants like, is to project a prism's refraction of whiye light into colors, into an aquarium, and note where the algae grows.

Like, they could have sad country songs about "I thought you loved me, but you left me alone in the darkness, just like the false dawn..." :P
It's also related to the moon. What if the planet had no moon, or, for instance, it was tidally locked with its moon so that only one side ever saw the moon? In the latter case the two hemispheres would have radically different timekeeping methods. You might be able to have some longer timekeeping based on when certain things happen, like certain flowers bloom or insects emerge.
Lack of day-night cycles would have profound impacts on life as we know it. Would sleep even exist? If life developed well before the planet became tidally locked with its star, there could be various evolutionary techniques to compensate for the lack of night.
Yes, a fascinating subject & one that should be explored.
Not to mention things like sightless sapients
Hi, again I have read of such scenarios in Sci Fi. As for tidally locked planets, there would probably only be an inhabitable strip around the planet as one side is frozen and the other arid. (I like to think of it as a Twilight Zone.) The question might be that assuming simple lifeforms could live there, could they evolve into anything more complex. Just on Earth it took 2 billion years before (with enough oxygen from cyanobacteria) a chance encounter with a relative of the Asgard Achaean and an oxygen breathing Eubacterium to initiate the evolution of complex cells, the Eukaryotes. Then there was a long way to go before humans measured time.
Nice
Yo everyone in the UA-cam community coming together to talk about saving the trees actually makes me happy to be alive in this era ☺️💕🌲
When he says, "hey smart people,..."
Me: okay... I am outta here
This infrared kind of looks like my partial color blindness. And with my other eye seeing the ultraviolet Spectrum from a injury to my eye as a child, I already see colors like this that you are doing spreading on an alien planet. If it's brown or gold, I was entirely seeing different colors that were not the options given. The color green, such as a traffic light, it looks blue to me , and any color that is blue, red, purple, either looks different as well. When my ultraviolet vision overlaps with my color blindness, I get dull colors. And when I only look through my partial ultraviolet Vision, every color kind of looks like neon colors. It personally sucks when it comes to color puzzle games, but I can see patterns quicker than normal people.
I hope people mention how planting monoculture trees is a bad idea
!!!
I love plants, so so much. So much so that I study them at university. And the solution isn't just planting more trees. We NEED to stop cutting them down. Even planting 1 billion trees doesn't get close the ammount we cut down every single year. The solution isn't to plant more, it's to remove less 🤷🏼♀️ just some food for thought
tnx, I love food!
"I might be powered by tacos and coffee." Joe truly is one of us.
I'm so glad you covered the purple plants
5:06 that guy is invisible
7:18 Finally, Namek's blue trees makes sense scientifically.
I still don't know why Piccolo is green though.
I think the real question here is: What would other planets look like on trees?
Your anus.
Yggdrasil???

Ummmmm 😂
You mean "What would trees look like on other planets?".
Now, this is a video worth to watch.
Thankx
4:57 - 5:13 Hey, isn't that Schönbrunn?
I'm honestly surprised to find my hometown Vienna in this video!
#Bécs
Those tree puns made my day!
Anyone else feel like Joe's channeling a valley girl this episode?
Yeeeeeees lmao, thought I might be the only one thinking that he sounds like some sort of blonde Cali chick or hipster lol
good, so its not just me
Had to stop watching because of it
I thought I was the only one who noticed he started sounding different and I couldn’t tell if it was just me or something
@@deathnightANIMATED As did I, unfortunately..
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I'd love a little physics in my biology 😂
Did you really meant to say, what i understood 😂
@@vijayveersudhakar1213 🤔😂😂😂
Light is super fascinating! I enjoy this video and the UV video because those are two frequencies that I've always wondered what it would be like to see in.
“you are looking at trees” no really that’s surprising
*You don't say intensifies*
*INTENSIFIES*
*AWESOMENESS INTENSIFIES* No, srsly, Trees are Amazing!
Team Trees is the best team since Team Rocket. Let it grow!
"Feel free to leaf my channel. That was pretty acorny...Ok, that was pineful. I know you're sycamore puns. Just trying to spruce up the planet together!" 😂
Take a like and get out
I am so happy I watched all of this video, thank you for the puns!!!!!!!!
Bigger collaboration since the area 51 raid
Recommended: *Veritasium:* *Trees are out to get you*
It's nice to see that the comments are branching out.
the sound editing seemed to be a bit off this time.
great video btw
Those white plants looks like a winter wonderland from my dreams
So you're saying we could have had purple trees ?!?! ÒnÓ
I have learned so much about trees today.
Okay, why are all the science channels posting videos on trees today?
Its because of Mr beast
Oh dang! I just looked up his channel, makes sense now, thanks
teamtree.org
@@sundeww * teamtrees.org
This video is unbelievably fascinating!
*PLAN(e)T*
_Coincidence? I think not._
There should be a huge playlist with all #TeamTrees videos
So basically when we find alien life it will just be a bunch of purple trees
This video helped me with my astronomy homework. THANKS!!
Does anyone else feel a valley girl vibe Joe's giving off in this video in the way he's talking?????? Stuffy nose maybe?
Yeah, he sounded a little more nasal, like he was sick.
This made me so sad for our planet. The only thing that makes me happy is that once we die off, our planet will finally be able to heal.
Did yall get new audio equipment or something? Joe's voice sounds different to me in this video.
Imma send this to my teacher cause we just so happen to be learning about how photosynthesis works in class rn
yo wtf they just turned the textures off
Yes, wave length, while you are free to style information as you see fit, I would have better understood your physics by the old Roy G. Biv layout of the visible light spectrum. Another eye opening demonstration of what light frequencies plants like, is to project a prism's refraction of whiye light into colors, into an aquarium, and note where the algae grows.
Wtf life noggin minute earth Tierzoo and you all upload something tree related within like 10 minutes
Mister_X donate to teamtrees.org
I swear I’ve been watching these team trees videos all day 😂
Plant more green so we/our decendents can live long enough to see other colors
5th team trees video I’ve seen!
The way you are talking is different from usual. Kind of unsettling...
This👏Tree👏Is👏Scolding👏
why is your voice so wierd?, seems odd in this vid
Thats what i thought
