I love the way the Earth spins , it makes my day . 😅
Me too, I take one daily 💫🌎
It's simply day & night compared to planets that don't spin...
Good one
Quite literally
I hardly notice
3:45 "superconductor meets with resistance" is a brilliant headline
I'm Australian and its true, I literally have my own city park and beach 80%+ of the time 😁 Air here in Tasmania is so clean I can not imagine how people do not move away from places like New York. I can literally see the milky way almost every other night from my backyard in the city and just out of town the skies are stuff people wait years for up north.
Air clarity has nothing to do with carbon dioxide.
@@TimJBenham
@psychosis3916 devoured all the Milky Way and a fridge full of Mars Bars. As you would expect from a Tasmaniac.
Consider all the industry, is driven by need of more money. Mindset of All earthlings, turn any item into a value , they hypothetically believe is their GOD . Even if it harms the planet they exist on. Is it a wonder , alien life will no be part of the thinking. Enslaved Earth by long term greed.
Because in cities like NY you have more job opportunities.
Tasmania, cool.
And the weather?
Not that kind sometimes is it?
You have good beer, and I heard good wines too?
Australian friends "sparked up a barbie" good times 😋
Seeing the Milkyway on clear nights has to be so breath takingly beautiful. I do see stars where I live in America, but we've got light pollution, and I hate it.
Your episodes are the perfect balance between news and sarcasm.
I get a chuckle every time.
Precisely
I like how Sabine reminds us of her deterministic universe by starting every video with 'the telephone will ring'.
I love her telephone. It's so very .....then.
In the next episode chatGPT will achieve the singularity and upload itself to the telephone. Sabine will make a sarcastic comment about how useful that is.
is she AI?
She always announces so enthusiastically and happily that the telephone will ring, but when it actually does, why does she often seem disappointed and annoyed?
The lawnmower Man
We are so lucky we can have news presented by experts like Sabine, a few years ago news were presented by people who only knew how to talk in front of a camera, but had no idea what they were talking about
Indeed. It's nice to be able to sub to people with phds instead of people who don't have the education to realize they are putting out bad info.
Well, generally it's only actually a problem if the *writer* doesn't know what they're talking about.
Furthermore, there are plenty of experts with interesting things to say for videos like this but who have no interest or ability when it comes to talking in front of the camera - or the reverse. Funnily enough, It's fine to have a team of people doing both jobs. Contrary to popular belief, you don't actually have to be good at everything - although it's nice to have people who are.
Hahahahaha. Never has there been more human rubbish in all exposed positions. Judging by one single example who is not one of them is hilarious… 🤦♂️🤣
Faked News is dying by lying 🤫
The Bible foretold us already 2.000 years ago that this would happen. So you can conclude: The Holy Bible is the only true Word of God, so repent before it is too late.
Sabine you are getting better and better at delivering these amazing videos. Not only do you present the news itself in a succinct and clear way, but the humour surrounding it is absolutely spot on. I really love your work! Many other channels could learn so much from you.
And she’s getting old……….

My best friend once said, "If everyone were a philosopher, we wouldn't have indoor plumbing"
That ending with the 'Onion' reference was pure magic!
Sabine, I love your dry sense of humor and want to thank you again, for all you do here and on other unmentioned platforms. I spend too much time here, learning, but I don't feel guilty, due to my health issues, and the fun! 🙂
16:55 as a philosophy student here in Yale, I’m a bit blown away by your sphere of influence
Oh Sabine, you're always there when I need an existential crisis to share with my friends and family. Truly appreciated!
I like this show a lot it's cool getting updates on the newest science. It's hard to get a good source for the newest stuff for science
Great video once again, Sabine! The Onion would be proud to have you!
Yes, very lonely here in Australia where nobody lives which is why I look forward to receiving Sabine's videos.
I love how watching your show especially when the phone rings it gives me the same nostalgia and excitement when watching science shows as a kid. Extremely engaging and as an educator I can testify how difficult that is.
We did W H A T
We did nothing. Its called a milankovitch cycle. You would be best to ditch this trash talk channel and find one that deals in the facts.
First thing came in our mind after reading title
That's what she said.

If I could guess, the NANOGrav paper to be announced tomorrow will probably be on primordial gravitational waves (expansion shockwaves) from the early universe. The team compiled about 17 years of pulsar arrays radio signals data to compute gravitational waves that are more sensitive than LIGO or Virgo. I was told this a year ago by one of the physicists working the project. Very informative video as always, Sabine.
Cool.
Knapsack is known in theory of computing for scaling extremely poorly, meaning more work will give you hardly better results. It's also known for resisting "smart" approaches, meaning more work is essentially the only way to improve results. This study has done more to confirm the hardness of knapsack than it has to evaluate drugs. Why didn't they use a standardized test for cognitive performance? Well, the test they *did* pick gives a clue.
I study computer science and was somewhat displeased when I heard that a knapsack was used in this study for the same reasons.
I didn't understand the instructions. What are you actually supposed to do with the knapsack and those items?
Always look forward to your take on new science and observations. Great show.
Thank you for the news.
Correction: the metaverse is a concept existing long before Zuck renamed Facebook to Meta. He kinda appropriated it. But calling your daughter Mercedes won’t mean she’s a heir to the german empire’s automaker
I believe it was Neil Stephenson who first coined the term or used it in that way, in his novel _Snow Crash._ (1992)
I didn't realise verse meant dog toffee
Mercedes, hmm. I'm feeling a sequel to "My Mother The Car".
Indeed, I belive the idea was first introduced in the sci-fi classic "Don't Create The Torment Nexus".
Zuck "appropriates" everything.
You are getting better at this! Your humor is intellectual and thats hard to pull off. When i heard of the subjects you were addressing i thought how can ahe tackle such topics and make them intresting ? Let alone make them humorus , you pleasantly surprised me.
It is truly remarkable of what a person can learn from watching Sabine.
The Bible foretold us already 2.000 years ago that this would happen. So you can conclude: The Holy Bible is the only true Word of God, so repent before it is too late.
Awesome video, Sabine! 💚 My very first scientific journal was about the odd shape of the Earth. Blew my mind 🌎
She only uploaded 4 minutes ago and it's 19 minutes long lol.
She can tell what Sabine is talking about from the title of the video
@JC_923 well, she can tell what the subject matter is but not what sabine is going to say 🤦♂️
@bot1a543 thing is that sabine uploads every video precisely on the hour ,within a minute or less. .she's extremely reliable in that regard. .
Scientists didn't notice the axle tilt but they want us to believe they are accurate with 3 degree temperature measurement. You can't make this stuff up
Thanks for the news, Sabine! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Kudos, Sabine!
Bin ein großer Fan! Danke für die daily dose of science
Sabine, each your video makes my day brighter and makes me smile! Big thanks for everything!
7:54 - How is "NFT" a category of activity?
We are proud of you, Sabine. Thanks for your great and also funny videos. Keep on going.
The water shifting the poles does make sense. If you think about adding small drop of water to the side of a spinning top it will tip to the wet side.
Finally an explanation of why my days sometimes spin out of control.
Waiting for a Quantum computer that can substitute politicians and their incompetence...
"Metaverse lifestyle" sounds really terrible and stupid idea (that will only make the big corporations even more powerful). Who the hell came up with this idea? WEF?
I recommend anything from BobbyBroccoli channel to visual scales of problems on politicians-technology line 👀ツ
You never heard of open source?
A big corporation.
Someday people will come to understand that allowing of corporate formation was the greatest mistake in human history.
@@rimbusjift7575 ...He says on CZcams...
Seriously though, I don't entirely disagree but the world couldn't function today without at least some corporate entities. The bigger mistake was in not regulating them properly.

Super episode with new information as always, best part now with some fun punched in. Making it interesting in day by day
Sabine you are doing a great job ! Thanks for the videos/updates.
The jokes are getting better too.. kudos for that.
Regarding the “metaverse”, I think they forgot to consider, that despite our decreased movement, our collective body mass will increase exponentially due to inactivity, leading to also exponentially increasing energy costs of movement, much like trying to move faster than the speed of light.
Nobody that has actually experienced reality wants to live in a metaverse. Taking LSD and riding bicycles down steep mountainsides is living. Good nutrition, sleep, and exercise would fix most of the worlds problems. Pollution can easily be solved by stopping politicians from being able to accept money form private entities. The hole in the ozone layer was almost completely closed in 2020 until dipshit politicians decided lift regulations on what gets released into the air. The so called "metaverse" is part of a bigger agenda.
And when our collective body mass reaches a certain number, somebody will come to harvest us....
when you do a full 360° on your office chair, you change the tilt of the earth
brilliant as always, thank you Ms Sabine
My favourite way to hear science news :)
Also, the spike in human self termination in a metaverse society would decrease emissions radically
Contrary to several fictional stories, terminating a human in the metaverse does not terminate them in the real world. They will still have a carbon-footprint.
Its not The Matrix :p
Generic is saying there'd be a lot more people ending themselves.
@@jakeaurod Contrary to political censorship, Carbon is actually good for the Planet. It's plant food. This is why Greenhouses use an increased amount. In fact, if our Carbon-footprint was much lower, Life would not be able to exist on this planet. There are thousands of scientists who disagree with this political beast. The act of Censorship is as good as admitting they are right, since you won't even let the counter-arguments be heard. So, they should lose by default.
Just kill me! I don’t want to live that way.
That changing the axis thing was my fault. Krispy Kreme had a sale on doughnuts and I couldn't help myself, I ate a dozen by myself.
Sorry everybody, I threw the axis off balance.
Sure it's not me eating the chocolate blocks I intended to make cookies with?
YOU'RE FIRED!
Just a dozen? Lightweight.
Makes as much sense as the groundwater hypothesis.
Actually it's the collective centrifugal force of all washing machines around the globe excerting a counter rotational force that influences earths rotation...
We need to ban washing machine right now....
You’re posts are a high point in my week…thanks..
fun ! really enjoy her delivery of all this really interesting 'news'
i love your science updates, thank you. science is not my field, but i fkn love it ❤ thank you for keeping the non scienitists (the majority of us) in the know about what you guys are finding out, and how 🙏 and inspiring others to learn about wtf is really going on around us, and why we don't live in caves anymore

Thanks Sabine, love these videos.
That Quantum Computer is the most beautiful computer since the ZX Spectrum! 😍
And before that, ZX 81
Those "smart" drugs improving motivation (or at least helping people keep at the task longer) is interesting. I guess there's more to those students who used them back in college than I thought. There are lots of topics one is compelled to study for that they don't care about. A bit of discipline where needed is probably still the better solution though.
Excellent! As a species we are so good at knowingly making planetary-scale changes to our advantage. 😐
This is a great science channel!
So we've taken 2150 gigatons of a powerful G/H gas (when in the atmosphere) and pumped it into oceans, yet the IPCC still claims H2O increase has no effect on climate change and sea level rise. That's the equivalent of 2150 Teratons of CO2. The IPCC is a fraud.
Easter Island showed the way to go!
I love this lady - a thousand times smarter than I am, but such fun getting the small amount of great stuff I do understand... Thanks, Sabine... 🙂
What a great show, just randomly stumbled upon it.
Regarding the shift of the poles: How accurate is the data over 30 years?
How accurate are the calculations and how many assumptions went into the calculations of the shift caused by the pumping?
If you think about it.
Humans actually moved the planet?
Sounds a bit ridiculous when one considers the forces involved.
..
Presumably all in a similar direction for maximum effect.
...
What about tsunamis earthquakes maybe even hurricanes or tornadoes.
All these exert huge forces - much larger than human activity could muster.
..
Could they not also contribute to destabilising the earth's rotation.
Thanks, amazing video! but i think the bit about quantum computing was worded a little bit misleadingly. Algorithmic complexity improvement IS the reason for quantum advantage. We can solve most problems on classical computers, but there are a lot of problems for which complexity is exponential, and for some of these problems quantum complexity becomes polynomial. (or sometimes from polynomial to logarithmic). So the paper is new for its demonstration, but the overall picture is at the root of quantum computing
I got it. Quantum computers come and organize your books according to the Dewey decimal system while conventional ones scatter them randomly in your bedroom, mixing them up with unpaired socks and rancid pizza slices.
What a week ! JWST detecting CH3+, IceCube results for high-energy neutrinos and - as you mentioned it - NANOGrav's evidence for the gravitational wave background. I'm looking forward to learning more details about all those great news (or at least some of them) !
Ya know... looking at a regular computer circuit board + peripherals, I can see how they work. When I look at a photo of a quantum computer, I have no idea what Im looking at. May I suggest a tutorial video? (Yes, I may... and yes I did.)
Yeah sure. I am currently fixing an old Apple ii. While it's very well documented down to every bit it's still incredibly complex. Yes, it actually is possible to watch any bit on the oscilloscope but it's still tough. And you want to tell me you know how a modern computer works? Sure, go on!
@jpt3640 it works exactly the same, even though some of the bits fly past too fast to log on most oscilloscopes. But sure, given an expensive oscilloscope you can look at the bits on a PCIe bus or DDR4.
The point is that when we see a picture of a quantum computer we just see some plumbing. No obvious storage, no computing core, no IO
built and repaired allot of computers in my lifetime, and i know how they work,(atleast over 70% of it) but quantum computers looks like my uncles moonshine apparatus. So I second this, a tutorial would be great
@@olegil2: Quantum computers are all a bit more like microcontrollers than conventional computers right now, not because they necessarily want that, but instead because they just can't get quantum effects to stretch far enough to do very much else. Storage is especially thorny, as they just can't get the quantum states to last long enough to justify discrete quantum storage devices.
@@olegil2Won't it look different on the latest versions of PCI-r, since it uses PAM4 instead of NRZ. I know it is still viewable on a scope, but it won't be the same.

I thought Archimedes tilted Earth's axis thousands of years ago. I heard he said something like, ''Give me a big enough lever and a place to stand, and I'll move the whole fuck*** world, man''.
We here at S. Robert Weiser would like to issue a correction and an apology. The phrase, ''whole fuck*** world, man'' should have read: ''whole ****ing world, man''. We are truly sorry for this fuck up.
7:58 we already have VR-Chat for a long time now, it's fun but it never replaced going outside for most people
Learned something today. The Arc de Triomphe has side openings and you can get to the roof, somehow.

I believe this is what is scientifically known as a species wide oopsie-doodle.
I wonder how much the change in axial tilt affects the climate?
seems to make weather more violent
"It's magic basically, we just call it physics." A great line, I love it, just love it. Heh heh heh heh heh. When are you going to come to Britain to do some guest talks at UEA?

Thanks for posting.❤️
Hi Sabine, I do try to check out the links from creators I support. The incogni code only does 50% off, not 60% as stated.
Thanks for flagging this, I will let the brand know.
I'm a bit confused by the first piece (Quantum algorithm). Isn't the point of all of the quantum computer algorithms to be _asymptotically_ better due to QFT/hadamard transform/whatever else they naturally do better? Is it indeed the first time it was demonstrated in practice?
I don’t get it either. I thought the scaling effect she described is exactly what “quantum advantage” comes from. I don’t understand quantum enough to say for sure but I suspect it will never compete with conventional logic for linear operations like arithmetic.
Hilariously smart way to see the world. Thanks Sabine!
6:26 😂😂 I'm utterly surprised!!
I deal with magic, basically, just that I call it Physics ❤

You just made my day. Back in 2018 I noticed a shift in the earth’s axis. When I brought this up to people in conversation most just thought I had imagined it. For some reason they had not noticed the shift. I hope they see this video.
Oops, sorry, back in 2018, I moved and had forgotten how much the world revolves around me.
Great video, Sabine.
Fascinating, I would have thought our changing the Earth's axis to be as likely as the chap who tried to power his boat by turning a fan onto the sail, but I follow the logic. Thanks, this was most unexpected.
The supercomputer scaling better with more complex problems reminds me a bit of how our brains make decisions, as described by Daniel Kahneman in "Thinking, Fast and Slow".
The CO2 time lapse was fascinating.Thanks Sabine!
Now whenever I see a science news headline, I skip the article because I know that Sabine will summarize and explain it next week if it’s important, and if she doesn’t, then it wasn’t.

Smartdrugs like Ritalin are mostly used to help with studying, and this paper although focused on a possible increase in cognitive functions, semi-contrarily kindoff confirms that it's actually very useful in that regard!
motivation is the key here. :) no motivation leads to procastination and in the worst-case scenario- You drop out because of boredom etc. It wont make you smarter, but it sure helps :)
it also has been shown not to help with studying if you don't have ADHD lol so yeah it just keeps getting worse for recreational users who claim it's totally not recreational use
just use whatever fucking drugs you want just don't claim it to be anything but regular old drug use unless you have a prescription. If you need 5 bars of xanax to study, don't tell others xanax helps with studying
I love your "unenthusiastic" way of articulating the scientific words and language... ! so amusing and interesting to watch science through YOUR eyes ...lol :)
That moment when Sabine mentions a "GR" textbook and you know that stands for General Relativity, but you don't really understand general relativity. Yeah. I'm there. Time to subscribe to BRILLIANT.
Isn't Metaverse dead already?
You're the first I have realized mentioning it for months. Haven't even reached the point where it comes up in this video yet.
I enjoyed your show thanks for sharing 👍😀
Change the tilt of the orbit from 23.5 degrees to 22.5 because 22.5 is 1/4 of a right angle and the sums will be easier
The way Sabine tells it, we are still stuck at 23.5 but the point of the poles moves
Actually, we perturbed earth's tensor of inertia a little bit.

Large volumes of water evaporates from the oceans and forms huge storms that deposit large volumes back onto land were it eventually refills the underground reservoirs. If we pump out faster than the rain can replenish then it might be an issues in some areas but where I live in Florida the ground water gets replenished pretty quick when we aren't having a drought. Coastal areas I have lived on haven't changed noticably.

Doesn't the rotational axis also shift due to changes in the distribution of continental masses as they drift due to plate tectonics? How can the models assuming groundwater extraction account for continental drift?
