Correction to what I say at 2:24 -- If you look sharply at the colour code, the transition temperature in the graph DROPS with increasing pressure, contrary to what I say. The explanation in the text of the paper is: "Tc... increases with pressure from 171 K at around 5 kbar until it peaks at 294 K at around 10 kbar. The 10-kbar turning point in the superconducting dome is followed by a reduction in Tc to approximately 200 K before about 30 kbar." -- Ie, what I say isn't exactly wrong, but doesn't fit to the figure. Sorry about that :/
Today we’ll talk about a potential breakthrough in room temperature superconductivity, new clues about the origin of water on Earth, the best ever model of our geological past, a recent report on academic freedom, an image of the moon taken with a meta-lens, hybrid coral reefs, a new institution dedicated to finding the origin of life in the universe, the first cross-country storage for carbon dioxide, and of course, the telephone will ring.

Sorry about that, and thanks for those of you who have spotted this!
What are the chances of achieving lower room temperature resistance than say, silver? Superconductiviry would be the holy grail, but if we cut resistive losses from 15% to say, 3%, we would still revolutionize the grid.
The color coding in this figure is terrible.
@Doctor Whowhotheowl What are any other mistakes?
I should submit to nature next time around. It seems the bar is low at the moment
@@hgd4878 It's been so for a while, apparently.
I only recently discovered your channel, but it has rapidly become one of my favorites on all of UA-cam. The effort you put into researching and preparing your content is very evident, your skill at communicating complex topics to those not acquainted with them is amazing, and your sense of humor is excellent. I constantly find myself laughing during the phone call segments of these weekly news recaps. Keep up the awesome work Sabine!
Second that!
Sabine, you are so F-ing WOKE !
I 3rd it. Airhugs of positive loving energy to you all.
I like the sound of womb-temperature superconductivity.
Dont forget its not ONLY Sabine :) She has people working to gather info and edit videos etc aswell. Not trying to take anything away from her btw, just pointing out everyone that is involved.
"it is only mildly more complicated than lasagna!" - I just about spilled my wine on that one. I sure do enjoy your sense of humor!
Were you eating lasagna with your wine?
Yes, Wine has a way of making things look funny
Lasagne *is* complex.
@@eddiemurphy5566 Varying viscosity fluid dynamics on forks. Mind boggling! Always wear a bib.
"Yes, I understand it must be difficult to be rich. But buying Twitter was a really good start to solving that problem." Okay, I LITERALLY laughed out loud at that!
Same here.
I snorted!
The 100 million year earth simulation looks amazing. Amazing they could make such a detailed map.
Yes, and it's precise up to 10km! Incredible! How do they know that? Nobody knows, but critical thinking is dead.
@@andreasrumpf9012 I've looked at the paper, and it seems they did that by first constructing a lower-resolution map with past climate and elevation reconstructions, along with other such data, using goSPL and its plate tectonics model, and then using a predictive model with those inputs to get the 10-km resolution. I'm not too sure about the predictive model and the specifics, though it looks like they calibrated the model such that it at least mostly correlates with known data. I imagine there are some limitations in getting the model to agree with current data because the resolution is 10-km and not smaller.
@@johnv4994 nice summary, thx
@@andreasrumpf9012 The precision is arbitrairy and just limited by computing power, as you could interpolate data as precise as you want. Precision doesn't mean accurate in this case. (computational geoscientist here)
The data available for these calculations varies greatly in quality depending on the region of earth. Regions with civilisation or regions with mining aitivity tend to have very precise geological suvey while regions of the ocean, arctis, or jungle are oft vague and based on Satelite imagery.
@@teekanne15 Do you believe we can learn how to minimize damage when the poles shift and crust starts to move again? (I’m not very knowledgeable about this topic)
As a devout Trekker, I don't think there's any such thing as "too much" Star Trek, but I also know I'm biased. Live Long & Prosper Sabine!!
🖖
You like new trek ?
@@jsharp9735 Yes, I do; I like both new and old Trek.
Exactly, no such thing as too much Star Trek. There is such as thing as too much for Star Trek, when they hide it behind paywalls.
@@JohnPatrickCarroll Man I wish I liked new trek, it just doesn't feel like what made the original, TNG and DS9 so great. Like how you could have no special effects, but the dialog was so good and could create such intense scenes with zero action. How there was always an ethical or moral hazard and lessons to be learned and felt positive. Or how there could be more character development packed into one episode than an entire season of newer Trek. I also never really disliked any of the character in older trek either, even the ones I didn't care for.
What do you like about new trek ?
I watch all of these videos and then some of the topics are the subject of conversations with my (nearly) 12 year old grandson as drive him to his climbing sessions. So Sabine is enriching the lives of more than just those who watch this excellent channel.
That's a scam bot beneath you, just FYI.
Thank you, as always. Whenever I hear physics related news ... I think "I'll wait until Sabine has her say."
You should try to find the flaw yourself, then check with her instead of believing whatever she says outright.
@@GorgyCL I didn't say I believe her outright. I have some knowledge of physics. But the press hype is hard to counter ... Sabine generally gets right to the point.
@@stephenleblanc4677 she makes the counterpoint effectively
She rarely delves into any other point of view
Sadly sabines point is to disparage anything that doesn’t align to her ego

In Mexico there was an study about 15 years ago were people was ask what they think of scientists, almost 60% of population label them as dangerous. There are ongoing issues in the scientific community in Mexico that are common in other places. There are academic elites that suck up most of the research funding, while over 80% of their peers survive on the poverty line. There is a study named "por mi raza hablará la desigualdad" talking about this, basically says if the biggest university in Mexico (UNAM) were a country then it will be were more inequality exist, by having a GINI index of 0.65
The mexican president recognizes this ongoing issue but has been trying the wrong approach by attacking the community as a whole as they all were the same as the oligarchs in control.
Just because there is a real problem in a system, doesn't mean the system is the problem. attacking imperfect systems, even though their existence is better than their non-existence, is a common tactic of right-wing leaders, they use it as a way to attack their opposition and as a way to create escape goats or distractions. so just because he recognize the issue, doesn't mean he is trying to fix it (the wrong way), he could very well be using it as an excuse to attack scientific freedom.
we have seen it here with our program that incentivizes investments in art and culture in exchange for tax cuts. the system is flawed, and many of its flaws are fully recognized and pointed out by left wing people that defend the program. but those flaws are used by ring-wing leaders to justify attacking the program and using it as prof of the corruption of left wing parties.
I dont think a reduction in the number of 'studies' departments in academia should equate with a loss of academic freedom, quite the reverse. Those faculties are now quite infamous for allowing just one opinion among students and academics, regardless of how weak the empirical support for said opinion.
It's a huge issue and a very dangerous ideology. Meanwhile on the other side they try to fight it and over correct in schools etc. With banning tons of things.
Finished reading your book Existential Physics just today. I'm a Physics grad and found it to be very elightening. Physics grad or not We sometimes really train ourselves to 'numb' some very natural and important questions we have in our minds since early age and kinda forget or put on a forever hold. Gave me a lot to think.

Hello from Texas, I always look forward to your programs and you're a great sense of humor. Always so much new to learn, thank you again.
Sabine has made Wednesday a glad day. Thank you dear lady for publishing twice a week now. Gives me something to look forward to.
Money can't buy happiness but it allows you to be unhappy in comfort. I really enjoy your videos Sabine, many thanks for making and uploading them.
Ich liebe Deinen Humor. (Und Deine Videos)
“I understand. It must be difficult to be rich. But buying twitter was a really good start to solving that problem.”
Hysteresis in Tc is usually due to separation between the sample and thermometer. When changing temperature, the thermometer reaches temperature before the sample. Thus, when warming, the thermometer is warmer than the sample and when cooling, the thermometer is cooler than the sample. If the two rates are the same, then the sample's temperature is closer to the thermometer's average than to either observation. Also, latent heat of transition must be removed (or added) before the sample completely changes state and this exaggerates the apparent hysteresis. (Heat flow rate is proportional to temperature difference...)
What you’re describing could easily be checked by looking at the difference in the size of the hysteresis with varying cooling/warming rates. I can’t imagine they would publish that trivial if a mistake to correct.
@@jarrydhorn7049 Averaging two numbers is not rocket science. I have not read this paper, but it would be foolish to claim hysteresis in Tc without extraordinary evidence. It is quite common, however, to publish the raw data with the understanding that the reader can polish it if he chooses.
You provoked me to read a couple of papers. Sabine you are a true educator. Thank you. I am envious of your specific skills (and grateful they exist and you make them available to the benefit of the world). Love your humour too. Long may you publish on YT.
Sabine is completely corporate and mainstream, is very careful never to deviate no matter how true that deviation is.
You will find very little promoted on UA-cam that is not 100% corporate propaganda and shilling for woke politics. Like her segment on academic freedom on campuses. The idea that Donald Trump caused college campuses to become less free is like blaming the murder victim for allowing holes to be fired into their body.
United States is a tyranny right now but it's a left-wing tyranny.
Great post Sabine. I always enjoy tuning into your newest post. Much love, care and blessings to you and your channel, efforts.
I lol'd at 10k bar being called near-ambient 😂
"... difficult to be rich. But buying Twitter was a really good start to solving that problem." Some coffee came out my nose on hearing that !!
Watching the news: ❌
Watching Sabine:✅😂
Your phone bits make me laugh while I'm catching up on news and learning amazing things every week.
I love the comedy and the witty one liners, but have discovered that I feel better about life in general after learning about these various advancements. Too bad that I have return to banking and war news now.
I loved the radiotelescope array scene! Also, though the question of water flavours is controversial, I strongly believe on the hypothesis that Coke Zero is one of the flavours.
Disappointed that when talking about Academic Freedom, you have not mentioned the methodology or possible bias of the researchers. After all, freedom isn't a shipping container, and accurately evaluating it is difficult at the best of times, let alone when humans get involved.
Thank you for your humor and excellent quality of information! I love your program
While I agree that academic freedom has been declining in the US I question the methodology of the group you have cited. From what I've seen, the primary threat to academic freedom in the US is not government (so far), it's institutional censorship. This has been happening to the extent that state governments are starting to take notice of what's going on in their colleges and universities and try to correct it. I'm very open to the idea the these state government interventions are likely to be poorly conceived and act to limit academic freedom differently rather than increasing academic freedom. But the institutional censorship has been building for quite a long time before Trump became president. A study that shows academic freedom decline only beginning with Trump and which blames all continuing decline under Biden on state government actions seems like it's perfectly okay with the high levels of censorship which gave rise to the backlash they are complaining about.
I just suspect a research that pinpoint some changes just when some undesired political characters take their seat. It underscores poor scientific metodology at best, and the furthering of a political agenda at worst.
Bingo
@@pierluigidipietro8097 You are like totally right! I mean, without having read the paper, with these results, the researchists just _must_ be woke or something!!! /s
Yeah if they don't agree with you, they must be wrong or woke.
@@michaelseitz8938 .. in other words.. why would 'day zero' on the study be so recent ?. instead of showing an increase, or decrease when these figures entered office.
Didn't expect Freddie to pop up like that in a Science news. 🤣
And seconds later lasagne. 😎😂
He's visited a few times lately.
it's a recurrent gag in this channel
I heard headlines about the superconductor a few days back and thought to myself “before I get excited, I’m going to wait and hear what Sabine thinks.”
In 2001, I was a mature student on a Conservation Degree course. One lesson was a visit to a part of the Dorset, UK, Jurassic Coast where a low lying fossil beach was being lost to sea-wave action. It was also threatening properties close to the beach, as the land was being eroded by several feet per year. Local Authority and property owners were looking for a solution and we students were invited to contribute ideas.
I suggested building (dumping really) a rock barrier, just offshore, which would reduce wave action and create a lagoon behind what would become a new marine eco-system. That part of the coast is famous for its quarries.
The suggestion was met with complete indifference by local Conservation Officers and University Lecturers alike.
Now Florida is proposing concrete monstrosities to produce the same effect!
'Buying twitter was a really good start to solving that problem' I almost fell over laughing
I could've choked on my own snort.
Sure you did
Thank you Sabine, this idea of presenting the latest “claims” of scientific advances with an informed commentary, is exactly what lay people like me need to separate “chaff from wheat” and I continue to enjoy your peculiar German style of irony, especially when you talk to Elon!🤭😂
"I understand that it must be difficult to be rich, but buying Twitter was a really good start to solving that problem". My favorite Sabine joke.
That Academic Freedom Index was pretty funny, I assume it was a joke, right, well either way it is pretty funny.
Some people in Hong Kong and China would joke that you have freedom of speech in China, once per life.
Thanks so much for another great video! Regarding the superconductiviy breakthrough, there's something I don't understand in the figure ploting resistance vs. temperature at min 2:24? According to the figure, the HIGHER the pressure, the LOWER the transition temperature, while in the video the opposite is said.
Dang you're right. Beats me.
I've checked in the paper, and what happened is this: I read in the text that Tc increases with pressure up to 10 kbar or so and then drops again. I didn't notice that the figure shows the drop rather than the increase. Sorry about that.
@@notanemoprog Why do people get upset when someone pokes a little fun at the richest thin-skinned person in the world? Musk fanboys are the worst. Back to the Elon shrine with you...
@@notanemoprog He's not going to give you any money for defending him on the internet bro.
@@notanemoprog Whilst it is debatable, what was the worst investment in history, the 40B for Twitter or the 200B in the Metaverse, it is an undeniable fact, that ultra-wealthy man-children are fabulous at burning the money hundreds of thousands of employees have earned them with their labour.
Thank you Sabina , you are the best!
Love the channel but I had to laugh a little at today's video. I'm an american academic and I laughed at the suggestion that the decline in academic freedom is somehow related to Trump. All american academics are afraid of having their research shut down, but it's because we are afraid of the powerful people on the left, not the right. You can easily publish and be critical of the right. But if, for instance, you are a neurologist who studies sex differences in utero then you are likely to face English professors (don't know why it's always English professors) demanding your tenure be revoked.
This is what I was looking for, I'm not opposed to the idea that he could have done that but then she just dropped it like an irrefutable fact and moved on. I'm not sure how that one's his fault and I'm open to hearing the law/regulation/etc he passed that caused this specific scenario. I was never a fan of the guy but the level of bias pushed by the community prevents any kind of intellectual debate.
@@revivedsin43 I didn't vote for him, but neither I nor anyone else I know in Academia ever felt threatened by his administration in terms of academic freedom. The fear that pervades academia today started in about 2011. Jonathan Haidt, an NYU professor, describes the problem well in terms of his own experience. A student accused him of homophobia because of an innocuous example he used in an ethics course. It was resolved but only after months of hearings. It's exactly these kinds of things that make professors scared. I remember when a student asked me in class about the gender wage gap. It was a macroeconomics class and we were talking about labor markets so I felt I had to respond (though I was afraid). I told her that the literature on the subject suggests that most of the gender-wage gap is due to choice of profession. Predictably she complained to the dean's office that I was a gender wage gap denier.
@@heberfarnsworth It sounds to me like this isn't an academic issue so much as a cultural one.
@@revivedsin43 It’s only academic in the sense that it pervades academic institutions. It’s rather anti-academic in the sense that actual empirical research must take a back seat to the feelings and uninformed opinions of a certain group of people.
@@heberfarnsworth Your right, I wasn't being clear when I spoke. By academic I was indeed referring to the institution not the pursuit of knowledge. I believe we're saying the same thing.
"only mildly more complicated than lasagne"
Lolololol
11:34 this reminds me of a classic Soviet joke
"The USSR has freedom of speech just like the US. In the US you can go up to the white house and shout down with Reagan and be fine. In the USSR you can go to the Red Square, shout down with Reagan and be fine."
You're talking about a field which calls temperatures above -192c (77K) "high-temperature." Of course they'd call 10kbar "near-ambient."
Sounds like a terrible atmosphere for a party.
"but buying Twitter was a really good start to solving that problem" Savage Sabine
Thanks Sabine. To support your channel I always follow the links to your sponsors.
This news about the room temperature superconductor reminds me of Henrik Schön... The missing noise and mislabeling in the data is eerily similar to the faults in his graphs and they turned out to be all fake. I have a bad feeling about this...
I've recently rewatched the series about Schön and hearing these news about superconductors also reminded me of it lol
They're also refusing to reveal key information about their process, which is also a red flag. They claim it's so nobody else can steal their IP before they can commercialize it, but that's what the patent system is for. As soon as they file their patents, they're protected -- with double damages should a competitor knowingly infringe.
@@EnglishMike but a competitor can still find a way to reproduce the same process without breaking the patent. not to mention countries were the patent is not applicable. that is why a lot of companies have proprietary recipes or technologies that they keep secret even if its patented.
It definitely sounds too good to be true, and the fact that they don't appear to even have a good hypothesis as to why it might work suggests they're just trying to get readers to buy magic and snake oil. I'm 99% certain this will turn out to be a hoax just like this guy's other projects. I'm always at least 1% hopeful about cool shit being discovered, though.
"Buying Twitter was a good start" Hilarious!
Musk's net worth is on the rise.
I'm here for the telephone call!! ❤ Seriously Sabine has a really great channel. She updates us on a lot of important topics and research that's truly worth knowing and discussing ❤❤❤

Oooh... I like this news report style! There really is too much science to not have it reported on for an easy win! It's a needed niche filled nicely here, I like this content!
When I heard what was said @13:50 I actually laughed out loud - brilliant!
I saw an article on the super conducting thing and I thought it was an onion story :)
Is it just me or is the way Sabine is presenting more energetic than usual? Anyway, I like it!
Reading too many words hurts my eyes. Thank you so much for doing all that reading on my behalf!
"Meta". We keep using that prefix. Are we sure that it means what we think it means?
Another great video, Sabine; you truly set the standard for science reporting!
I take exception with the report on academic freedom though. As we’ve just seen with the whole COVID origin, vaccine and treatment area, non-mainstream viewpoints have been vigorously suppressed. The same thing has happened over time, albeit less blatantly, with minority views on climate change.
I guess they’re only looking at censorship by governments vs what the science community does to itself (?)
Being discredited in an academic sense is not being suppressed
@@acbthr3840 Well, I don't think anyone would argue that those two are the same; it's a simple truism.
I imagine from your comment, though, that you believe that no research pointing in directions contrary to the mainstream narrative or "consensus" has been denied publication. Or even more so, that no research or viewpoint subsequently shown to be valid has been blocked and even ridiculed.
That would be impossible to argue, so I think the difference in our viewpoints is down to just a matter of degree and specific examples.
@@DEtchells The studies that have been denied publication failed peer review, not because they weren't politically expedient. Again, the right just thinks they should get to say whatever they want and anyone who disagrees must be attacking their personal freedom not using their own right to speak to discredit bad arguments or baseless morals.
@@QuesoCookies "Peer" review is actually exactly the problem, although I admit I don't have a solution for it. There are a lot of examples across multiple fields where reviewers gate-keep to block legitimately good research that goes against their biases. (And even more alarmingly, there are cases where research passed peer review but then was retracted by the journals themselves under pressure. The cases in question *passed peer review*, but then the journal un-published the paper under outside pressure.)
A big part of the problem is that science has somehow become politically polarized, as witness that you feel that it's an issue of right vs left, with the right complaining that they can't just proclaim whatever BS they want to.
That certainly happens sometimes (eg, someone on the right wanting to spew pure nonsense), but I think it's much more often the case that researchers simply following the data get lumped into right/left buckets based on their beliefs and the theories they're pursuing.
Remember when a group of top virologists published a (presumably peer-reviewed) article in Nature, saying that lab-leak theories were racist and that capital-S Science should be protected from them? That didn't exactly turn out to be supported by the facts.
There's also the case of at least two of the CDC's masking studies. In one they had unbelievably sloppy data management, where schools that weren't even in session were included in the data set. In another they cherry-picked two states that happened to have favorable statistics to their narrative. Why not all 50? People also point to a Bangladeshi study that seemed to support masking, but was so poorly conducted that it should never have passed even the most cursory review. (There was essentially zero control or visibility into who wore what when. I can't believe it was even considered to be a scientific study.)
- Of course, there are plenty of examples on the other side too, where research that seemed to support one treatment or another was very poorly executed. There are problems on both "sides".
The fact that there are sides at all is exactly the issue. On any given topic, there are groups trying to prove or disprove whatever is at issue, and who filter what they choose to consider "real" based on the narrative they support.
Note that I said, *emphatically*, that it happens on both "sides". I wish we could just look at the data and deeply critique every study based on genuine science rather than casting everything into a right/left framing.
@@acbthr3840 Being discredited in an academic sense is being suppressed if it is based on the views being politically unpalatable, rather than on the basis of the views contradicting empirical reality.
What gave them the idea that this particular material would become superconducting if they prepared it in this manner? Were they just randomly altering the lutetium and looking for interesting properties to appear? Or were they specifically looking for superconductivity?
Cool, I'm excited w/ the room temperature superconductor, a more practical one.
God bless.
Condensed metaphysics? "I think, therefore I am under pressure?"
Publicly voice their Opinion in the USA?!??!? Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Malone and Peter McCollough might contest that?
Thank you. I knew i couldn't be the only one that sat up and gasped!
Unless there is a specific metric you can use to measure “Academic Freedom” any value would be subjective. It’s like trying to measure happiness. I suspect the best metric is to somehow measure freedom of speech based on legislation which restricts it, or enables it.
A Subjective metric is a good start point for a line of enquiry, but its like anecdotal evidence. Anecdotal evidence can be used to provide whatever you wish it to prove, so has no value except as a start point for a line of research.
Absolutely not. The interpretation can subjective but there are objective measures of freedom, e.g. free to voice opinion without fear of imprisonment, unemployment, ....
@@emilwandel The examples you have indicated are measurable objective facts, so you can use these as a metric. Imprisonment is linked to legislation, so the recent legal changes in Russia and Iraq could be used as an objective metric, as well as the numbers imprisoned. The old Soviet practice of exiling dissident scientists, instead of just killing them, similar to the modern cancel culture practice, can be measured by identifying the number of people affected.
I am only concerned about anecdotal or subjective evidence being used to create the theory/opinion, rather than as a starting point for the research required to derive the theory.
Didier Queloz's Nobel prize was not for discovering the first exoplanet; that had been done years prior to his discovery, by radio astronomers, who discovered small planets around a pulsar. Queloz is one of the astronomers who discovered the first exoplanet orbiting a main sequence star. It's an amazing and Nobel-worthy discovery, just not quite what was claimed here. -Tom (astronomer who works on exoplanets)
The exclusion of CRT in some US states is as much of an infringement of academic freedom as not allowing nephrology and race characteristic theory as taught in Nazi Germany. The relevance and value of academic freedom to society requires a quid pro quo of sanity from academics.
.. but what is sanity ???..shall we all not agree it is a purely subjective concept 💩 (asking for an 'current variant' of academia😅)
I love when Sabine says "I love you" to Elon on the red phone haha
I love Elon too! Lol
Amazing report. Please go ahead with this accurate and funny way to spread science!!
I never realized how much was happening in the scientific world before I watched this channel.
Thanks! Best Science News on UA-cam.
Muito bom seus vídeos! sou brasileiro e os entendo pelo tradutor automático do UA-cam.
Sabine, you are so F-ing WOKE !
I understood your comment through the translator too! Imagine when this could happen in real time.
Being Sabine's nationality, l have to use the translater tool too, but it works fine in her clear English
Perhaps like most things, it will grow stale and corrupted with time. But until then, I feel blessed to have found your fantastic channel!
You called yourself a "small fish". That's the first disagreement I've had with you. You're definitely not a small fish. What you are is a very bright light!! Thank you for your contributions to my education and enjoyment!
Total agreement
You would think if academic freedom in China was so horrible they wouldn’t be dominating all fields of research, but who am I to say🤷♀️
the same can be said of Cuba: the bottom of all LatAm countries, yet the science they do (especially in biotechnology) is several steps ahead any other country's in the region
I personally applaud China's breakthrough in gain of function with natural viruses at their Wuhan lab.. this necessary research has shown itself to be a 'world beater' 🤗.. and looking forward to the day when academia returns to it's rightful authority.. as in.. almost every 1950's space rocket movie 'scientist in charge' did.
That fact alone makes me wonder about “academic freedom”.
In the US, the active work against political opposition goes in either direction. Its not just against the left, also against the right.
Having just made a Lasagne last night I look forward to recreating this experiment at home. 🤣
I love the sound effects Sabine uses.
I am SO pleased that Elon - and somemes Rishi continue to phone you.
That Nautilus subscription looks genuinely useful!
I'm always looking for other flavors than coke zero🤣
Almost all of us read good stuff. Don't worry, We are here. You make a really good work.
Sabine, your jokes are so funny. Keep up the good fight!
9:23 Odd, there's a lot of research that would get you cancelled and ostracized in the west
10:48 Well that clears things out "Low academic freedom" is codeword for "does not agree with us"
The academic freedom thing isn't science. Its political activism. Leave that stuff out of your shows, please.
Politics are interfering with academic freedom. Far left and far right groups want to control education because it's the only way they can gain more support. Uneducated people are much easier to radicalize.
this
banning Creationism in public schools wasn't a decline in academic freedom
neither is banning CRT from public schools
these bans are both keeping religion out of education
If anything, it's the left that pushes academic freedom down by actively cancelling anyone that does research that goes against "the message".
Really wonderful channel.
I too prefer to read, but this channel I can watch (or rather mostly listen to) at occasions when I cannot read, because I'm occupied doing other things where only parts of my brain needs to be engaged.
Spooky action at a distance. Sabine mentions lasagne, and I'm eating lasagne for my dinner as I watch the video!
Thank you for the science news.
Thank you so much Sabine for another great episode. I love that you, as always put some fantastic reality checks in, especially for the superconductor breakthrough! FIngers crossed its real but mhe. Also, i love when Elon calls. He is my favourite to be dissed by you.
Sabine, you are so F-ing WOKE !
yeah I'm really hopping the superconductor breakthrough was just a bad scientist that got lucky. because if that is true 10kbar is easily achievable. it wouldn't be hard to make superconducting electronics or microchips by using chemical pressure.
@@danilooliveira6580 He might be a good scientist. He might even have been humbled toward honesty. Or maybe not.
I do like the new ring sound :)
"Buying Twitter was à really good start to solving that problem" 😂
Great video as always. Maybe the accretion model is wrong to begin with, and water is being synthesized by electrical current and oxygen/hydrogen in the earth's mantle.
This would also explain water and other compounds being emitted from the mid-ocean rifts.
I love how critical you are looking at the topics! Keep going 💪🏻
She is only "critical" when it's not about some woke bullshit, then she is fully onboard with everything. It's painful to watch, really. Like how she tried to justify the bloke participating in women's sports.
@@andreasrumpf9012 Know that video and you totally misunderstood. I'm your opinion in this case but she didn't justify' anything, she reported different studies.
@@Thomas-gk42 She is free to select different, better studies.
@@andreasrumpf9012 Ok, l see you're the one to select, what's better, but you always will find someone to blame you therefore. Suggest, you create your own channel. Wish you the best
@@Thomas-gk42 What a lame reply. The comment section is not just for praising the content author.
Graphene is a room temperature superconductor when suspended in gas or liquid, when placed between two diodes it naturally moves back and forth generating alternating current at room temperature.
That's my figure @3:30 😂 Gotta love the internet 😂
Thanks for all the news, Sabine! 😊
Either way, I still think we should do something with the captured carbon. Plants make sugars... How about we make carbon fiber?
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hi MC's Creations, it's nice to see you here.
There are some companies that want to use carbon capture to make synthetic fuels. They would still add CO2 to the atmosphere when burned, but because that C02 was taken from the air to begin with they wouldn't add any extra that wasn't already there. In a world with higher carbon taxes than we have now, this could be a way to fuel vehicles like planes that can't easily accommodate heavy batteries.
The problem with making things from captured carbon like fuel and carbon fiber is that it adds extra steps to the production process, and that adds costs. The carbon capture derived substances would cost more than the same substances made from cheaper carbon sources like mining waste.
@@Kevin_Street Hey, it's good to see you here as well! 😊
But you're absolutely right. Unless we create technologies to make it cheaper, it's going to be cheaper just to put it under the sea soil, really. 😕
3:00: That's damning for the editors of _Nature_ and for the value of other publications in that journal. Responsible editors don't publish scholars with that sort of track record, at least not without an extensive verification of both the result itself and the identity of the researchers who attained it. Considering the status of _Nature_ publications in academia (e.g., in determining university rankings), something is deeply deeply rotten in the academic kingdom!
I am glad that Mongolia is keeping it's reputation for academic freedom. 😊
Fascinating. Sabine asks as many questions as she answers and point to the flaws that could have an effect on the results of investigation. !00% surety only lasts until the next revelation, if it ever was 100% to begin with.
Could we please refer to Climate Instability - Regardless of causation - as it describes what's happening and is hard to argue against. Humanity has prospered in a period of relative climate stability, but adverse conditions can change things drastically.
Thanks Sabine : )
Did they finally lower the room temperature?
The relationships there have gotten pretty chilly.
Not teaching gender theory to little kids is considered a set back?? Thought that would be an improvement 🤔
So various groups are maintaining watchlists of who they think are radical leftists. Isn't the opposite also happening? Aren't some groups also keeping watch of "far right" individuals?
While reading the superconductor breakthrough (controversy) 2 days ago , part of me was like " why isn't sabine talking about this ? "
and boom my wish came true today , please talk more about superconductivity . thanks
Sabine (er Dr Sabine)
I love this channel, the moderator is fantastic. My only question to you is "How do you keep from laughing during the video?". I am on the floor in stitches laughing, and you do not even hint a cracking a smile.
One last question, What if Schrodingers cat were really two identical cats. If separated at birth, (work with me here) would they not have Quantum Entanglement? Let us say one cat lives in Germany and the other lives in Minnesota. Would they both like Struddle? (yes, this does keep me up at night, so this explains the total phycological incongruity of my question as sleep is lacking)
Love this show, you are the best (or at least your writers and research team are the best, and you are the best at deadpanning humor. I love it)🏖☃🥇🥇☎
Her superpower for not laughing during delivery of jokes is called "being German".
About your 'two cats entanglement problem' you ask the right mother, she has twins, already entangled by birth. Not nessecary to lock them in boxes
