    I know there was some controversy about webb due to its ten billion price tag as some scientists thought the money could have been better spent on a variety of smaller but useful projects. Also there were issues with the lengthy time it took to design and build it and fears of a launch disaster that could end it all but looks it was one big gamble with results better than anyone dreamed of.⚛😀😀

      Information doesn't come from mass or energy, it only comes from a mind 👍 The instruction book of life is the most complicated, intricate, intelligent, information packed into EVERY SINGLE LIVING CELL. Even Darwin, from his own statements, would not believe in Darwinian evolution today with the knowledge we have of the complexity of a single cell now- irreducible complexity. The same God that wrote that book inspired a book for you to read, to help you in the life He gave you, intentionally, of His own free will. That's the best selling book of all time- the Bible. Read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John- the eyewitnesses to Jesus' life and sacrifice for YOU.

    His highlighted resume:
    B-2 Stealth Bomber
    International Space Station
    James Webb Telescope
    Background:
    Grew up in a small ranch in Mexico. Grew up eating beans and corn tortillas EVERYDAY, no other choice. He started working at the age of 4 taking care of cows, then 7 he started growing corn crops, teenager started building stone/boulder fences. Migrated to America at the age of 16 with only $30. Started working at Northrop in the early 1970’s as a sweeper. Then moved up to eventually create tools for Northrop to build aerospace technology and worked on hundreds of aerospace and military.

    With so many scientist with their projects waiting for JWST observation time and the shere amount of incredible things that the telescope has already found we should put at least 5 JWST-y telescopes in space one after another every six months. I know the cost was huge and the process was time consuming but there arent enough hours in a day for all the people who want to peek trough the instruments of this AMAZING telescope. However....i heard that the plans for even better and biger ground and space telescopes are already in motion. Good video.

    Years ago, I wrote a paper arguing that the universe is much older than 13.5 billion years. Many scientists now believe it's at least 20. The fact that there are stars older than the universe itself should have been a clue. This makes those huge bright distant galaxies far more understandable

      But the largest problem is that "time" is a man-made concept and it's arbitrary and subject to things like energy, mass and other things.
      I've never understood (after realizing the full picture) how "everybody" is so caught up in trying to use "time" as a _constant._ It is fallacious at best, most probably wild guesses, and misleading bollocks at worst.
      Why isn't _energy_ the common denominator, even in "hobby" usage?

    Best option: create a frequency profile of the breaths, attenuate those freqs with an eq and side chain it to a downward expander with very fast attack & decay. Flux makes a dedicated downward expander but you can get the same results with Fabfilter Pro-MB.

      I enjoyed your making fun of the phrase "Bursty star formation". But that is the way language works. You have to give something a "name" or "it" can't be talked about. Think about the name "Big Bang". This is actually a derogatory term given to "it" by its detractors. By giving "it" the name "Big Bang", you have given "it" a "handle" as the CBers (Citizen's Band radio) would have called it 50 years ago. Now, we can talk about "it" because "it" now has an agreed upon name, even if "it" is a silly name. Shakespeare said, "A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet." What he meant is that if we call a rose a "turd biscuit" it would still smell the same. Calling the process something silly like "Bursty star formation" does not undermine the serious attempt to differentiate the process from other, standard types of star formation. Think of it another way, would you rather it be called, "The Stevenson-Hewitt post-modern analogous rapid aggregation stellar nursery model" or "Bursty star formation." Sometimes, silly is superior to superfluous. Thanks for the smile.

    Hi, I'm sorry to bring this up, but your audio seems to have an issue.
    It sounds like you have exposed hard walls around you, accross each other. There appears to be a short hard echo that dies out slowly (like ~0.5 seconds). They are more prominant on certain frequencies, around the frequency of your speach. It seems the sound can bounse multiple times and still be picked up by the microphone.
    It reduces the clarity of your voice and gets iritanting in the long run.
    You may know all of this already, but you may add acoustic panels or heavy cloth on the walls at the points of primary reflection.
    I don't see your microphone, but you may consider bringing it closer to you, increasing signal to echo ratio.
    If you have already treated your walls, it's possible the echo comes from your floor and roof.
    Your production quality for video is so high, it would be a shame, if your sound were to lagg behind.
    Anyways. Thank you for your videos. They are generally very well made.

Eh, I dunno let’s just call it - black hole.” And when you’ve got a burst of bursty stars bursting - well, bud, that there’s a bursty star formation.

    In any discusion of Unified Theories, Gravity, Electromagnetism, and the Strong & Weak Nuclear Forces are taken as the four fundamental forces of nature. The first two are part of our everyday, macroscopic experiences. It's curious that Electromagnetism has been excluded from Cosmology.
    It might be a good time to crack open "Jackson" again!

    Thank you science. No need to rely on fairy tales and superstition (religion). The natural world is more amazing than any fictional story could ever be.

    The theories of the last century are being put to the test and a lot are not holding up to evidence. New info is needed new theories need to be developed.
    An exciting epoch in the history of humankind's understanding of the universe no doubt.

    The audio is making it difficult to watch these. Please turn down the compression, we don't need to hear Simon's every inhale.
