Not all your Atoms are Stardust
You may have heard "We're all stardust," but that's not actually true. Most elements on the periodic table have surprisingly weird origins like neutron star mergers or even the big bang itself.

Relativity The correct analysis is that space (x = vt) is not included in the equation to be solved for the "time dilation" equation. (ct')^2 = (ct)^2 + (vt')^2 (solve it for t' for yourselve(s) to understand) and note that this equation cannot be generated from the "space" equation for length in first order (ct') = (ct) + (vt') (draw it on a piece of paper). Hint: If space doesn't exist, the twins don't go anywhere; one of them (the imaginary one) just gets fat in his/her imagination (t'). Which is why Hawking hints that time must be imaginary, but never says why.

I think it comes down to communication windows. The distances we would be talking about would leave any species able to detect us looking at an earth that doesnt exist anymore, since it is in our past. And it has only been very recently, relatively speaking, that we were able to produce signals that would indicate intelligence high enough to communicate. That means that essentiallu anything futher out than about 80-100 light years would see a species unable to utilize even radio to any large extent.
I know like this: there are 4 forces acting on an airplane: drag comes from air resistance, lift comes from forward motion of the airplane, thrust comes from the engines and weight comes from gravity.

It is good to have two people explaining, because some questions and explanations would not come up otherwise. Thank you for this video.
Yeah, that seems to be what many people are saying. When I make videos by myself, I don't always realize what details are important.
If the mathematician can utter "the limit exists" and for that to have meaning, then yes pi exists.
The electrons (current) moves the emf (voltage) is static. The product of the two is the power(watts).
Great video! Many videos talk about stellar nucleosynthesis but this video did awesome! I found out that the transition from collapsing star to neutron star is quick. Good for the poor dying star.

Not sure if I have this right. The heavier, rarer elements are not actually created during the neutron star merger, but by the released neutrons interacting with existing elements elsewhere in the universe? The neutron capture is not at the location of the neutron merger?
Close, but it's a little more complicated. Yes, many of them are created "by the released neutrons interacting with existing elements elsewhere in the universe." But a fraction of them could also be created by _small lumps_ of ejected neutrons when some of those neutrons decay into protons. Either way though, they're not created during the merger nor even at the merger's location. They're created later at a distant location.
@@ScienceAsylum Thanks!
I'm still n9t getting it. Roughness and smoothness are not orthogonal: one is the complement of the other. I know it's just a metaphor, but isn't this simply representing 'roughness' as an angle, with 0 being totally smooth, and π/2 being totally rough ? Given that we have a fixed hypoteneuse, haven't we just replaced 'roughness' by an angle ? What is the point of this being a vector: we have a given radius (1) and a known X value. This determines unambiguously the quantity along the Y axis. Also, what's with the detector box ? Are you saying that the box contains an explicit polisher or roughener, to manipulate the incoming particle, just so it can meet the output criteria ?. It just sounds like a logic gate (say a non-inverting buffer). Give it a definite 100% voltage and you'll get 100% out. Same with 0% in and 0% out. Give it any intermediate voltage and it'll 'change' it to either 0% or 100%, just to satisfy the ouput requirements. Is my understanding correct ?
*"Roughness and smoothness are not orthogonal."* In quantum mechanics, they would be. That's partly why quantum results are so counterintuitive. *"Given that we have a fixed hypoteneuse, haven't we just replaced 'roughness' by an angle?"* No, because there aren't varying amounts of roughness. In this analogy, there is only 1 amount of rough and 1 amount of smooth. An angle of 45 degrees is _NOT_ half smooth and half rough. It's a 50% _chance_ of being one or the other. *"We have a given radius (1) and a known X value. This determines unambiguously the quantity along the Y axis."* Yes, that's true. However: 1. Having the y-component present saves you time when you're working out the math. 2. During the math process, result will not automatically have a radius of 1. As a last step, we have to _force_ it to be 1 and we'll need a y-component for that. *"Also, what's with the detector box ? Are you saying that the box contains an explicit polisher or roughener, to manipulate the incoming particle?"* What the detector _is_ doesn't matter as long as it obeys specific criteria. An explicit polisher or roughener would not fit the criteria. The detector simply _detects_ a state. The particle responds to that by picking one of the orthogonal directions. *"It just sounds like a logic gate..."* I like that you're trying to relate this to things you know about. That's a sign that you're _really_ thinking about this stuff. You have to be careful with any analogy though. Yours only works pretty well as long as you don't think too concretely about what voltage is.
Hmm ... trying to decide if something exists without first examining the concept of "existence" itself. While you're at it, might want to think about whether the concept of an actual infinity makes sense, since for irrational numbers to exist, infinitesimals must exist. But modern conception of calculus rejects infinitesimals in favor of limits. Infinitesimals are actual infinities, limits are potential infinites. Seems to me, that when we talk about irrational numbers, we are talking about limits.
When I was studying geometry in 7th grade, my uncle asked me to say something geometric. I said , “πr^2”. He said, “no, pie are round”.
love the video, but the "good ol' Hawking" made it kinda clear that this came out before the Epstein list was released. It sucks that good ideas like his are going to be tainted by his personal actions.
So rarely do physics videos explain "we call it x but it isn't actual x". I'm reminded of your video re black hole evaporation and the fact you made it made sense. Not just made sense to ME but made sense grammatically. Every other freaking video talked about a black absorbing 1 of a virtual pair of particles... Hence black holes evaporate. Full stop. 🤯 😊 Anyway, you're an exceptional educator IMO.
Only 5 elements are necessary for the fundamental machinery of biochemistry. Carbon Hydrogen and Oxygen are required for proteins. These combined with Nitrogen makes up DNA or when combined with Phosphorus instead of nitrogen, we have the lipid membrane.
now tell me what's the REAL source of time and time dilation
Fantastic content - the CZcams algorithm decided to recommend this video to me while having breakfast. I think most people are amazed at how fast light travels when light actually moves at the speed of a tranquilized snail (or slower) when discussing cosmic distances. Even Star Trek tried to show how slow the Enterprise travels at its highest warp speed in the episode "By Any Other Name". The scouts from a world in the Andromeda galaxy commandeered the Enterprise to return home. How do we measure the distance of an object constantly moving away from us at a rate that increases the further away from us it is and the light we're using to measure the distance is the light from a position closer to our location? Watch this content :)

So if you know the redshift of the distant object, you can correct for the expansion since the light left it to determine how far away it actually was when the light left it. ?
