    • @Saxony984
      @Saxony984 Місяць тому

      @manjsher3094 You can borrow books for 2 weeks for free. You just have to apply for a library card. Every town or city in the United States has them. There are others like High Schools or Colleges and Universities that have them too. But you must be a student there th borrow the books.

      @manjsher3094 I don't know if my last reply went through. A public library is a place where you can borrow books to read. They are quite common in the United States. Every city and town has at least one.

    so yesterday, after only about two years, the UA-cam Gods decided to finally show me an episode of Joe Marler's podcast with you as a guest.
    I must say that you were absolutely wonderful and I loved every minute of the show.
    The question I wanted to ask is whether you've had a chance to have that coffee with Roger Penrose since then?
    Have a great day.

    Dr. Becky, I love this channel; I really do. As someone who lives in the State of Washington, I am sorry I missed you when you passed through my state and county. I must say that I have never heard of Mt. Renée, so I am assuming you meant (@ 6:43) Mount Rainier. Which name looks like it might be pronounced like the comparative form of 'rainy', but which we pronounce like 'ray-near', not to be confused with your pre-eminent bushcrafter, Ray Mears. The indigenous name is 'Tacoma' or 'Tahoma', but rather than ask, Captain George Vancouver of the Royal Navy decided to name it after his good friend, Rear Admiral Peter Ranier, Jr.
    I, myself, have often thought that the word looks French and ought to be pronounced in accord with their rules, so I get it, but such is not the case.

    Dr Becky. Please check Landauer Limit using Hawking Temp for a 1KM black hole. Verify against gravity per Planck area from GR. It’s the same value, same order of magnitude too .724, almost RMS. Gravity is an expression of a particle’s causal uncertainty. When the uncertainty is resolved, the info is encoded back into spin. A’s counterfactual turns into a wormhole to make A and B local, when they are the uncertainty is resolved. Maxwell’s demon causes one unit of gravity to be emitted for each spin entangled pair. Gravity is a bit of negative energy to account for a particle containing positive energy being out of causal contact. Gravity is the coin for spooky action at a distance. Please check Landauer to
    GR per Planck Area. GR 1.261 x 10^-30J
    Landauer at a Hawking T 1.74 x 10^-30J! Do you see the significance?

    I kind of agree with you, that it doesn't seem like that big a thing that this asteroid will momentarily 'encircle' the Earth. But the term "capture" seems inappropriate to me. When we say we think that Mars' gravitational field captured Deimos and Phobos, that seems entirely appropriate; they have remained in orbit around the planet for a long time and we know that one of them, at least, will die there in the astronomically near future. 2024 PT5, however, can only be described as temporarily detained before moving on. It will be showing its metaphorical travel documents and then be allowed to go on its way. This is just a layover on a through flight, so to speak.
    If we were truly capturing it, on the other hand, that would be very exciting, because we could then study it in much more detail and far more conveniently and economically that can be done with any other asteroid at present. Long term in-orbit missions as well as sample return missions lasting mere months instead of years could be done, not to mention the possibility of manned missions (not to land on but to have a close-up, real-time viewer to enhance investigation) in the very near future. And, of course, there would be a new little light in the sky, at night.

      Why wouldn't it? Assuming the planetary orbits were not disrupted by whatever caused the Sun to be ejected from the galaxy, what would stop them from staying in those orbits later?

    I prefer “fingernail moon.” My toenails are usually hidden beneath sox and inside footwear.

      maybe you could have fingernail moons for new moon crescents, and toenail moons for the waning crescent moon ?

      Even after they are cut/when you're cutting them?
