What Are These Weird Rings In Space?
Vložit

- Over the past few years, astronomers have discovered their own kind of UFO called Odd Radio Circles, aka ORCs. They're a little too round, and a little too invisible at non-radio wavelengths, to immediately know what they are and what's causing them.

why was the thumbnail a pop tab?
I recently got my Real Unicorn stickers in a DFTBA merch splurge! I totally love them. Thanks Hand & Sci Show & all the amazing creators platformed at DFTBA
Today I found out Space Orcs are real.
RED
We just have to all collectively believe they’re real and it can happen
'ere we go 'round the universe....
Gnomes elves and sprites are real too
Waaaaaaagh!
"Space orcs." "WAAAAAAGH!"
It's clearly just the expanding radio bubble of aliens listening to their latest pop music 😁
Its mind blowing how much we know about the universe compared to 100 years ago!
Part of the reason I watch all of the SciShows is that Hank doesn't have to explain what he means by ORE's
That’s fine if they have to explain everything videos will become long and boring or they won’t cover anything interesting at all
Odd Radio Ellipses. Shortly before OREs, he mentioned that if these spheres weren't perfectly round, we would see ellipses much more frequently, which would be OREs but we don't. Therefore we have ORCs. @4:20 Here's where he mentioned an elipse. Says scientists think they're too darn round but not one has been an elipse.
Some say ORCs were not much different than Elves once, till an evil power twisted them.
yes hes called putin
((Them))
You mean when Mephala ate Trinimac and shat out Malacath? :P #ElderScrolls
@@chrisyoung9653 no his name is Chris Young the repugnant.
ELF… evil life form. Yes, I can see the resemblance! :)
Occasionally, a civilization develops superbroadcasting. It's probably commercials or propaganda.
Maybe they want to talk about my spaceship's extended warranty ...
All Warhammer 40k fans now should cheer
ORE is not a bad pun for an alternative to ORC. But you missed the opportunity to make a better one: OREO, Odd Radio Elliptical Objects :)
OXARC sounds pretty badass, actually. Thank you for yet another great video!
The radio waves of the orcs sound like WAAAAGH or DAKKA -DAKKA.
ORCs: Looks like heat's back on the menu, boys!
Still working, making new content, all while currently having cancer. Thanks Hank.
Very fun and clear writing!
Its definitely ORKs forming circular WHAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!s
Time to get the Boyz
It’s aliens. Definitely aliens.
Nah
Everything’s aliens. They’re everywhere!
In this perspective we might be the aliens.
The same thing as saying “the gods did it”
Um-Nuh
Yah-huh!
ORCs being too damn round is just perfect
Gotta love us science nerds. We make science fiction, and then name real world things after that fiction. My question is, how did mork get here, if all the orks are so far away? Wormhole or alcubiere drive? Also, what is a kircle?
Gork threw mork over here.
orcs are fantasy
Kunningly, with a little bit of brutality
I vote for the ORCs being WORMHOLEs, just because that would be WAY COOL!!
The Wormhole’s Throat … that’d be a good name for a song.
Knew it, Hank plays!
Today on sciShow: ORCs and unicorns (with different colors too)
Very interesting!!
Thanks!
Happy to say I guessed the merging galaxies theory
if you pronounce "oxarc" like "ozark" it makes it a little better
oksarc
Hank I love you❤ get better soon
Could ORCs be the remints of a super weapon being used?
Clearly these galaxies have galactic barriers protecting them, like the one the Progenitors created to protect us from a powerful dark matter being and the Q later reinforced to protect us from O. Any Star Trek novel reader could deduce that.
Wormholes would be the awesome answer, but from what I can tell, it comes down to 1) These are circular, and wormhole mouths would likely appear circular and 2) We don't know what these are, and we have no idea how to build a real existing wormhole, if it is even possible. But to be honest, two mysteries are not ipso facto to be united.
To me to seems like another case of "these two space things are both mysterious and unknown so maybe they're related???"
@@xzilinov pretty much. Yeah, it's great if we can explain two things at once, but this hypothesis is basically trying to explain one mystery with another.
I'd like to think that wormholes wouldn't be holes as much as just spheres, and you can come out from any part of the surface, since its a 3d projection from a 4d object
Luckily astronomy is freaking chock full of terms that were originally just a description of an unexplained phenomenom or class of object we don't understand and yet we kept the name even when it makes no sense (eg Quasars, Planetary Nebulae...Uh, Nebulae as a whole...) so I think we can definitely keep ORCs even once we understand them.
Enjoyed Hank's guest appearance on the podcast No Such Thing As a Fish.
Very awed!
orcs? Oh no, we're not ready for WAAAAGH! Please, give me a xenomorph, anything is better from any fiction than anything from Warhammer.
Hank is my favorite.
It’s Sauron. definitely sauron
Everybody gangsta until the space rings are like
*ZUG-ZUG*
And this is why SciShow has 7½ million subs, because they're top notch information fountains!
Thank you, Hank and company, for all you do - here, and on all the other related channels. 😁 Even if you do post a mystery on Microcosmos like you did! That's just sneaky! 😄 I still say it's the 2 on the 20X Plan Achromatic Objective Lens. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, LOL!
❤️❤️
*Reads thumbnail, nods sagely*
"Goblins."
Hi Hank!
I'm fairly sure they are creatures made by Morgoth out of elves that he tortured and deformed in the pits of Angband. Duh.
Plausible.
Better Orcs than the Tau
Video didn't kill the radio star... video banished it them to space...
A thin ring certainly sounds to my layman mind like an intense but transitory event.
Ah, the No True Orc fallacy. :)
It's not easy being green.
Beep..
It's aliens sending out radio warnings about Reapers.
RIP SciShow Space. Gone, but not forgotten.
Scishow missed the opportunity to put in the thumbnail "orcs from space"
'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go!
They finally got our message, now we wait for our new penpal
Damn it, Hank. I thought you were going to talk about Saturn's Orcs.
I sensed a WAAAGH! So glad I was wrong 😆
I think there could be a cooperative action on the intergalactic order of magnitude similar to the action of molecules in a crystal forming bonds. An alignment of something like charges. Maybe this is the explanation for Vera Rubin’s “impossible” measurements.
A few stubborn Orcs keep hanging on, everybody else switched to video...
nice
Soooooo alien Orcs are definitely coming, says sci show. I'm telling everyone
Could these ORC's be the possible source for the WOW! mystery signal from 1977
If you get a billion light years away, the Milky Way might look the same.
as our space probes move farther from Earth, have they encountered evidence of our galaxy being surrounded by an ORC?
When you first saw Halo, were you blinded by its majesty?
Has anybody tried to connect ORCs to Hawking Radiation? Could the ORC be the final burst from a dissolving blackhole?
This would be seen as very short wavelength Gamma radiation rather than the longer Radio wavelengths of ORCs.
nah HR is too slow. it will take gazzillion year in order for a regular BH to dissolve via HR
5:28 -- I really hope we don't find any space orcs, if Warhammer 40K is anything to go by.
As a side note i feel compelled to add. "In this life, you look for something hard enough, odds are you will end up finding it"- Me
Walk hard Dewey
Galactic core explosion? That might suck.
Said Larry Niven decades ago
I was hoping for a lotr themed video about orcs :(
ORCX.
They were elves once. Their relatives still hide in Jupiter.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who thought of it 💀
If they were spherical, wouldn't they appear to us as a disk on the radio waves?
wonder if the structure overlaps with the dark matter map
According to the scrabble dictionary orc is also short for orca, which doesn’t make it much shorter. Lol
Galactic Dyson Spheres, I tell you
orc is fine, but if it were ork, that's the time we need to get worried and hope to god that some 15-foot polymath with great hair don't suddenly appear
yay
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!!!!
It’s very obviously Moebius, we’re in the endless now
Looks like a pop can tab
I miss scishow space bring it back!!
The oo rings. 😲😯😮🤣🤣
What if it's radio waves from a galaxy spanning civilization of space Orcs?
They are stuck in radio, like some people's faces!
scientific community: And what do we call it?
some nerd: My time has come
Scientific community (nerds): and what do we call it?
Nerds (scientific community): my time has come
We is gonna stomp da universe flat and kill anyfink that fights back. we're da Orks, and was made ta fight and win.
Orcs? or ORKS....
oh 😮
how about extremely redshifted galaxies, filtered through dust, and lensed two or three times
My guess was orbital radio system lol
It would make the XORCs.
Relativistic Fusion drives of spacecraft moving away from us along our line of sight?... then the gamma rays would be red-shifted into the radio spectrum (as they power onwards towards their home galaxies?)
But why are they so un-round? They look like someone tried to hand-draw a circle.
Alien Transmissions Detected
Force field. Or remnants of a superweapon. jk, neat stuff.
I thought there was no wind in space according to Apollo explanations?
WAAAAAAAAGH
My money's on Birkeland currents
...and watch how many people say "aliens"
Orc-X and Orc-XStream
Black holes? Super novae?
Maybe its sophons?? If you know you know and if you dont then you should read three body problem
If they were only dark matter containers...
